Per Iowa Code section 423.3 (80), the Contracting Authority will issue an exemption certificate for the

the construction contract.
Failure to execute a contract and file an acceptable Performance Bond and Certificate of Insurance
within 30 days of the date of the approval for awarding the contract, as herein provided, will be just and
sufficient cause to the denial of the award and the forfeiture of the proposal guarantee.
The Iowa DOT (or other approved contracting authority) hereby notifies all bidders that it will
affirmatively ensure that in any contract entered into pursuant to this advertisement, disadvantaged
business enterprises will be afforded full opportunity to submit bids in response to this invitation and
will not be discriminated against on the grounds of race, color, or national origin in consideration for an
award.
On federal-aid projects, where disadvantaged business enterprise (DBE) goals have been established,
the bidder is required to complete and submit form 102115 with the bid documents. On all projects
without DBE goals, the contractor must show that affirmative action has been made to seek out and
consider DBEs as potential subcontractors.
Minimum wage rates for all federal-aid projects have been predetermined by the U.S. Secretary of
Labor and are set forth in the specifications. However, this does not apply to projects off the federal-
aid highway system. All federal-aid projects are subject to the Contract Work Hours Standards Act, as
amended (title I of Pub. L. 87-581, Aug. 13, 1962, 75 Stat.357) and implementing regulations.
Failure to submit a fully completed Bidder Status Form with the bid may result in the bid being deemed
nonresponsive and rejected.

produced within the State of Iowa.
NOTICE TO BIDDERS
NOTICE-3
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. If it is determined that this may cause denial of federal funds which would otherwise be
available, or would otherwise be inconsistent with requirements of any federal law or regulation, this
resident bidder preference shall be suspended, but only to the extent necessary to prevent denial of the
funds or to eliminate the inconsistency with federal requirements.
The City Council reserves the right to reject any or all bids, to waive informalities or technicalities in
any bid and to accept the bid which it deems to be to the best interest of the City.
This notice is given by order of the Council of the City of Waukee, Iowa.
