2026 Native Seed Mixing and Shipping Instructions.pdf

This document contains seed mixing and shipping instructions for the State of Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) in support of a native seed procurement contract. The service involves seed mixing and storage on a per-pound basis of pure live seed, with delivery required within 48 hours of notification to four specified Iowa maintenance facilities: Sioux City Maintenance Garage (6405 Gordon Drive, Sioux City, IA 51106), West Burlington Maintenance Garage (617 N. Beaverdale Rd., West Burlington, IA 52655), Coralville Maintenance Garage (2600 Coral Ridge Ave., Coralville, IA 52241), and Council Bluffs Maintenance Garage South (3540 S. Expressway, Council Bluffs, IA 51501). Four separate jobs are identified with the following specifications: Job 1927 (approximately 1,927 lbs.), Job 2481 (approximately 2,481 lbs.), Job 2177.5 (approximately 2,177.5 lbs.), and Job 1433 (approximately 1,433 lbs.). Delivery windows are scheduled between November 1, 2026 and December 15, 2026, with a contingency delivery window between April 1, 2027 and May 31, 2027 if weather conditions do not permit fall seeding.

The document does not specify pricing terms, set-aside provisions, incumbent contractor information, or funding sources. The instructions focus exclusively on the operational requirements for seed preparation and delivery logistics, indicating this is a supporting document for bid execution rather than a procurement solicitation. All four delivery locations are equipped with contact information for coordination purposes, and the service specification is standardized across all identified jobs at the per-pound pure live seed rate.
