Equipment Rigging and moving

Iowa State University of Science and Technology (ISU) is seeking qualified contractors to provide equipment rigging and moving services for various heavy‑crate items on campus. The work will involve using forklifts (12.5 k lb and 30 k lb capacities) with long forks (minimum 8 ft) to safely lift, transport, and position equipment within existing building spaces. Contractors must be able to review drawings, attend an optional site‑visit on September 8, and submit a detailed proposal through the ISUBid system by September 17. The contract may be awarded to one or multiple vendors and will be governed by Iowa procurement rules and university preferences for in‑state products. • Scope: Move and rig approximately 30 % of crates requiring long‑fork forklifts; other items moveable with standard forklifts. • Required equipment: 12.5 k lb and 30 k lb forklifts, 8 ft+ forks, rigging accessories. • Submission: Online via ISUBid; questions due by September 10; optional site visit September 8. • Evaluation: Based on compliance, qualifications, and price; university not obligated to award lowest price. • Contract type: Likely a fixed‑price or time‑and‑materials agreement for a one‑time project.
