The extent of the work on this project is the furnishing of all labor, equipment, and materials
for the construction of improvements in Waukee generally described as follows:
Construction of Heart of the Warrior Trail trailside improvements at 205 Ashworth Drive in
Waukee. The construction consists of approximately 532.1 square yards of PCC pavement,
454.0 square yards of PCC shared use path pavement, earthwork, subgrade preparation,
surface restoration, landscape amended soils, water service, shade structure, and other
associated work.
The kinds of materials, estimated quantities, and work to be done for the project on which
bids will be received are as shown on the bid proposal for said project.
All work is to be done in strict compliance with the Plans and Specifications prepared by the
Engineer which have been heretofore approved by the City Council and which are now on
file for public examination in the office of the City Clerk.
All bids shall be made on a form furnished by the City and shall be filed before the time
specified above, in a sealed envelope addressed to the City Clerk of Waukee, Iowa, clearly
stating that the envelope contains a bid on this project.
Each bidder shall accompany its bids with bid security as defined in Iowa Code Section 26.8,
as security that the successful bidder will enter into a contract for the work bid upon and will
furnish after the award of contract a corporate surety bond, in a form acceptable to the City
for the faithful performance of the contract and guaranteeing payment to all persons
supplying labor and/or materials in the execution of the work provided for in the contract, in
an amount equal to 100% of the amount of the contract. Additionally the bidder must
provide the City with a guarantee of maintenance of said improvement for a period of four
(4) years from the time of acceptance by the City. The bidder’s security shall be in an
amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the total amount of the bid and shall be in the form of
a cashier’s check or a certified check drawn on an FDIC insured bank in Iowa or on an FDIC
insured bank chartered under the laws of the United States; or a certified share draft drawn
on a credit union in Iowa or chartered under the laws of the United States; or a bid bond on
the form provided in the contract documents with corporate surety satisfactory to the City.
The bid shall contain no condition except as provided in the specifications.
If the bidder fails to execute the contract and to furnish an acceptable performance,
payment, and maintenance bond or provide a Certificate of Insurance within ten (10) days
after acceptance of the bid by the City, the bid security may be forfeited or cashed by the
City as liquidated damages.
By virtue of statutory authority, a preference will be given to products and provisions grown
and coal produced within the State of Iowa.
In accordance with Iowa statutes, a resident bidder shall be allowed a preference as against
a nonresident bidder from a state or foreign country if that state or foreign country gives or
requires any preference to bidders from that state or foreign country, including but not
limited to any preference to bidders, the imposition of any type of labor force preference, or
any other form of preferential treatment to bidders or laborers from that state or foreign
country. The preference allowed shall be equal to the preference given or required by the
state or foreign country in which the nonresident bidder is a resident. In the instance of a
resident labor force preference, a nonresident bidder shall apply the same resident labor
force preference to a public improvement in this state as would be required in the
construction of a public improvement by the state or foreign country in which the
nonresident bidder is a resident.
Failure to submit a fully completed Bidder Status Form with the bid may result in the bid
being deemed nonresponsive and rejected.
A sales tax exemption certificate will be available for all material purchased for
incorporation in the project.
Work on said project shall commence after issuance of a written notice to proceed and shall
be completed by: June 30, 2023
The duration of the work is critical to the project so as to minimize damage to other streets
and public infrastructure and the disruption associated with the project to the public.
Damages in the amount of two hundred fifty dollars ($250.00) per calendar day will be
assessed for each day the work shall remain uncompleted after the end of the contract
period at the sole discretion of the City which at the option of the City may be deducted
from any retainage prior to release, the final payment to contractor, or through the
commencement of a cause of action by the City, in the City’s sole discretion. The selection by
the City of any particular course of action hereunder is not exclusive and shall not preclude
the pursuit of additional remedies by the City. In the event the City institutes legal
proceedings, the Contractor shall be responsible for any and all attorney’s fees and
expenses.
Payment for the work will be made by the City in cash from such funds as may be legally
available including cash on hand, proceeds from the sale and issuance of General Obligation
Bonds and such other funds including the proceeds from the sale and issuance of such other
bonds as may lawfully be issued as the City Council may at its sole discretion determine and
provide.
Payment to the Contractor will be on the basis of monthly estimates equivalent to ninety-
five percent (95%) of the contract value of the work completed and payments made to
material suppliers for materials ordered specifically for the project or delivered to the site
during the preceding calendar month. Estimates will be prepared on the first day of each
month by the Contractor, subject to the approval of the Engineer. Such monthly payments
shall in no way be construed as an act of acceptance for any part of the work partially or
totally completed. Final payment by the City will be made in accordance with Iowa statutes
and the contract documents.
Bidding forms may be obtained from Action Reprographics, 5037 NE 14th Street, Des Moines,
IA 50313, phone: 515-288-2146, email: info@actionrepro.com. Copies of Plans and
Specifications and contract documents can be obtained at the same address.

technicalities and/or all irregularities.
