About this file
This is a Request for Quote (RFQ) issued by the Iowa Department of Transportation for seed mixing, storage, and delivery of wildflower and native grass seeds. The solicitation, numbered 645-DOTRFQ-3068-2027, seeks competitive quotes for four service line items totaling approximately 7,018.50 pounds of pure live seed to be delivered to separate maintenance garages located in Sioux City (2,177.50 lbs), West Burlington (1,433 lbs), Coralville (1,927 lbs), and Council Bluffs (2,481 lbs). The RFQ opened on September 10, 2026, at 11:30 AM CDT with a deadline for quote submissions on September 23, 2026, at 1:00 PM CDT. All four service line items are tied together, and a single award will be made to one responsible bidder. Separate purchase orders will be issued to the awarded contractor for each project, with detailed specifications and quantities provided in accompanying spreadsheets. The contact for all inquiries is Mallory Hunter at mallory.hunter@iowadot.us or 515-239-1347.
Award decisions will be based on the bidder whose submission is most advantageous to the Iowa DOT, considering cost and other factors including meeting or exceeding mandatory requirements, proposed staffing, required time schedule compliance, past work performance, and work capacity. Deliveries are on an F.O.B. Destination basis with payment terms of Net 60. The Iowa Department of Transportation is tax-exempt and will provide tax exemption certificates upon request. Bidders must certify acceptance of specified requirements to enter the bid and agree to make goods and services available to other Iowa state agencies, Regents, and Political Subdivisions at identical prices, terms, and conditions. Pricing must be held through September 10, 2026. Two supporting attachments—"Native Seed Mixing and Shipping Requirements" and "2026 Native Seed Mixing and Shipping Instructions"—provide detailed technical specifications and delivery requirements for bidders.
