The scope includes removal of existing windows, inspection and repair of head, jamb, and sill framing for rot and damage, installation of manufacturer-approved flashings, concealed spray foam insulation and sealing, matching of new interior and exterior trim to existing specifications, and finishing work.

Work is restricted to Monday through Thursday only, with no work permitted May 25-28 or on weekends, and all windows must be completed by end of business Thursday to maintain public cabin availability during non-working periods.

Pricing is structured on a lump-sum basis with payment made within 30 days of invoice approval. No set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises or organization type restrictions are identified. Performance bonds equal to 100 percent of the contract price are required for contracts at or above $25,000, and contractors must maintain liability and property damage insurance with minimum coverage of $250,000 per person and per occurrence with $500,000 aggregate coverage. Contractors must submit shop drawings and manufacturer certificates for DNR Field Engineer review prior to ordering windows and provide evidence of AAMA, WDMA, or CSA certification. Both manufacturers and installers must demonstrate at least three years of documented experience. A 5-year manufacturer warranty is required for insulated glass units against seal failure, a 2-year warranty covers color degradation and finish delamination, and an additional one-year warranty period from final acceptance is required from the contractor. Liquidated damages are assessed at $1,000 per calendar day for work not completed by the specified deadline. The contract budget or award value is not disclosed in the bid package documentation.

hereinafter called the CONTRACTOR.

WITNESSETH: That for and in consideration of the payments and agreements hereinafter mentioned, to be made and performed by the parties mentioned above, the CONTRACTOR agrees with the DEPARTMENT, to commence and complete the project described as follows and collectively referred to as the Project:

Replace all windows on the six (6) park cabins as described and specified. Thirty-six (36) windows total.

Located at: Lake of Three Fires State Park, 2303 Lake Road, Bedford, IA 50833 in Taylor County, Iowa, for the sum of $ ____________. This contract supersedes all prior contracts or agreements between the DEPARTMENT and the CONTRACTOR for the work described in this contract. The Project is more thoroughly and specifically described in Article 2, Scope of Work, of this contract.

ARTICLE 1 - DEPARTMENT REPRESENTATIVE

The representative of the DEPARTMENT shall be Zach Gunsolley, Southwest Iowa District Engineer, 515-250-3713, and all communications from the CONTRACTOR should occur thereto. However, any modifications or payments must be approved by the highest-level signatory for the DEPARTMENT, as described on the signature page.

ARTICLE 2 - SCOPE OF WORK

The CONTRACTOR shall furnish, at his own proper cost and expense, all materials, equipment, labor, insurance, and other accessories and services necessary to complete, in a workmanlike manner, ready for continuous operation, the above-mentioned project. The work shall be performed in accordance with the requirements and provisions of the following documents, all of which are made a part hereof and collectively evidence and constitute the contract:

● CONTRACTOR’s Proposal attached as Attachment A.

● DEPARTMENT’s Scope of Work as Attachment B.

● DEPARTMENT’s Specifications as Attachment C.

It is intended that the specifications and plans, which include the Description of the Project on the first page of this Contract and supplemented as may be necessary by the DEPARTMENT, shall provide for the completion of the work specified herein.

The omission of specific reference to any minor items of material or work reasonably necessary to provide a complete project, will not release the CONTRACTOR from the responsibility of furnishing or doing the items omitted.

The CONTRACTOR shall leave the site free and clean of all construction equipment, materials, and rubbish. The CONTRACTOR shall replace any defective material or workmanship in the construction at no cost to the DEPARTMENT, and shall guarantee the construction for a period of one year from the date of the Department’s final acceptance.

ARTICLE 3 - TIME OF COMMENCEMENT AND COMPLETION

The time of commencement of work under this contract shall be within a reasonable period of time after the preconstruction conference as approved by the Department. The date of completion of the work under this contract shall be: June 11, 2026.

ARTICLE 4 - BASIS OF PAYMENT

The DEPARTMENT shall make payment within 30 days of receipt of a payment request which is approved as payable by the Department, on this contract as is indicated below, by one of the following methods:

1. Lump Sum Basis- This section is applicable to this contract. Except for adjustments as provided for herein, the DEPARTMENT shall pay to the CONTRACTOR, for the performance of work, the lump sum of $____________, hereinafter called the Contract Sum. The Contract Sum shall be equitably adjusted to cover changes in the work ordered by the DEPARTMENT, but not shown on the drawings or required by the specifications. Such increases or decreases in the Contract Sum shall be determined by agreement between the DEPARTMENT and the CONTRACTOR.

2. Unit Price Basis- This section is not applicable to this contract. The DEPARTMENT shall pay to the CONTRACTOR the unit price amount stated with respect to each item of work on the attached schedule for the total number of units each item of work completed. The number of units shown on the attached schedule is approximate only, and the final payment shall be made for the actual number of units that are incorporated into or made necessary by the work covered by this contract. Should the number of units of completed work of any individual item shown on the attached schedule vary by more than twenty percent (20%) from the number of units stated, either the DEPARTMENT or the CONTRACTOR may request a revision of the unit price for the item so affected, but such changes shall not exceed 10% of the total Contract amount. Both parties agree that under such conditions an equitable revision of the price shall be made. Changes that cannot be classified under any of the contract units may be performed at mutually agreed upon unit prices, or on a lump sum basis.

The Department, under this Contract, shall reserve the right to withhold up to 3% consistent with Iowa Code Chapter

573. The Contractor may invoice the Department only for work completed. If the work extends over a period of more than one month, the DEPARTMENT may, upon request by the CONTRACTOR, make written estimates of the value of materials complete in place and the work performed. Estimates shall be on a monthly basis or on a longer period of time mutually agreed upon. No estimate, except the final estimate, shall be for less than five hundred dollars ($500). The estimates shall be figured at the contract unit prices for contracts on a unit price basis or on a mutually agreed upon percentage of the total work completed for contracts on a lump sum basis. Each estimate shall be filed in the form of a claim against the DEPARTMENT. Estimates are approximate only, and shall be subject to correction in the first estimate rendered following the discovery of an error in any previous estimate. Should a reasonable doubt arise as to the integrity of any part of the work completed prior to the final acceptance and payment, the department will deduct from the first estimate rendered, after the discovery of such work, an amount equal in value to the defective or questioned work. Further, such work will not be included in a subsequent estimate until the defects have been remedied or the causes for doubt removed. Within a reasonable period of time after satisfactory completion of the project, a final inspection of the work will be made by the DEPARTMENT to determine compliance with the contract, plans and specifications, and to submit a final estimate. All prior partial estimates and payments shall be subject to correction in the final estimate and payment. The CONTRACTOR shall sign the final estimate form acknowledging acceptance of the amount stated.

Final payment shall be made as soon as possible following the expiration of statutory time for filing claims, or following adjudication or release of claim against the amount withheld. Earlier requirements for the submission of the Iowa

Department of Revenue Contractor’s Statement of Sale and Use Tax (see ARTICLE 20), prior to final payments, are no longer in effect.

ARTICLE 5 - LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

Time is an essential element of the contract and it is important that the work be completed by the deadline. For each calendar day that any work shall remain uncompleted after the end of the contract period, number of working days allowed, or any extension granted, the amount per calendar day specified in the proposal form will be assessed, not as a penalty, but as predetermined and agreed liquidated damages.

The CONTRACTOR hereby agrees that liquidated damages in the amount of $1000.00 shall be retained or assessed against the CONTRACTOR for each day and every day the completion of the work is delayed beyond the time specified herein, not as a penalty, but as a mutually agreed to, predetermined amount to reimburse the DEPARTMENT for salaries and related expenses of directly involved staff and reviewers, interest charged during the period for delays and loss of use.

The DEPARTMENT will prepare and forward to the Contractor a Change Order to account for such liquidated damages.

The final payment will be withheld until payment shall have been made consistent with this assessment of liquidated damages based only on the number of calendar days required to complete the work in excess of the completion date, plus authorized extensions thereto. This provision for the assessment of liquidated damages for failure to complete work within the contract period does not constitute a waiver of the DEPARTMENT’S right to collect any additional damages other than time delays which the DEPARTMENT may sustain by failure of the Contractor to carry out the terms of the contract.

If the Contractor fails to complete the work within the contract periods or any extension thereof, upon written notice to the Contractor and surety, said contract shall be in default. The DEPARTMENT may, at its option, permit the Contractor or the Contractor’s surety to complete the work included in the contracts or may proceed to complete the work. In either event, the Contractor or the Contractor’s surety shall be responsible for all costs incident to the completion of the work, and also for the liquidated damages stipulated in the proposal form. The DEPARTMENT may waive such portion of the liquidated damages as may accrue after the work is in condition for safe and convenient use by the public.

ARTICLE 6 - PERMITS

In addition to other permits that may be required for the CONTRACTOR to conduct its business in the state of Iowa, the CONTRACTOR shall apply for, pay for and obtain prior to commencing work under this contract a NPDES Stormwater Discharge Permit (DNR’s General Permit No. 2) for Construction Operation, as required by EPA regulations, for any land-disturbing activity which will disturb an area of one or more acres. The permits shall be readily available for inspection at all times. Permits are available from the DNR Storm Water Coordinator, 6200 Park Avenue, Suite 200, Des Moines, Iowa, 50321. (Tel. (515) 217-0875.)

The CONTRACTOR shall be required to apply for, pay for and obtain all permits required by law prior to commencing work under this contract.

ARTICLE 7 - PERFORMANCE BOND

In compliance with Chapter 573 of the Code of Iowa, contracts shall, when the contract price equals or exceeds twenty-five thousand dollars, be accompanied by a bond, with surety, conditioned for the faithful performance of the contract.

The amount shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the contract price. The bond shall be executed on the standard form supplied by the DEPARTMENT. The bond, if required, shall be executed by the CONTRACTOR and by a surety authorized to do business in the State of Iowa and shall be incorporated by this reference.

ARTICLE 8 - CONTRACTOR’S INSURANCE

The CONTRACTOR’S current certificate of liability and property damage insurance shall be filed with the DEPARTMENT prior to the execution of the contract and shall be maintained at such amounts throughout the prosecution of the work and until final acceptance and completion of the contract. The minimum coverage by such insurance shall be as follows:

Public Liability Insurance Property Damage Insurance Per Person $250,000. Each Occurrence $250,000.

Each Occurrence $500,000.

ARTICLE 9 - TERMINATION

ATTACHMENT B

SCOPE OF WORK

Goal of project:

Scope of work includes replacement of casement and picture window units in six (6) cabins at the state park. Each of the cabins are historically significant, and this window replacement work has been approved by the State Historical Preservation Office (SHPO). As such, new window units must match the detailing and characteristics of the existing windows as much as possible. Each existing window will be removed. The head, jamb, and sill framing will be inspected for rot, plumbness and damage.

Surrounding interior and exterior trims, sealants, flashings, and finishes shall also be inspected for damage. Items found to be damaged shall be repaired prior to installing new window units. New units shall be ordered to manufacturer Rough Opening (RO) standards and standard unit elevations. Custom window sizes are not anticipated and only standard window sizes should be accounted for during bidding (Note: If custom window sizes are appropriate, additional costs will be coordinated between DNR and contractor). Contractor shall submit shop drawings to DNR Field Engineer for review prior to ordering windows. Manufacturer approved head, jamb and sill flashings are required for new installations. Concealed expanding spray foam shall be used to insulate and seal between window unit frame and structural wall framing. Spray foam must be concealed and not visible from exterior or interior of building upon completion of work. Carefully removed existing interior/exterior window trim free of rot or deterioration may be reused where applicable. New, replacement interior/exterior trim to match existing trim saw marks texture, stain tone, lacquer or sealant, and profile. Exterior shutters to be removed, safely stored, and reinstalled similarly by contractor.

Door glazing replacement not required.

Window schedule as follows:

(Window sizes are approximate for estimating purposes and will need to be field verified and approved via shop drawings prior to ordering)

Window A (Qty. 4 per cabin): (2)3046 Single-Hung (Operable) – Replicate Muntins with similar SDL’s at exterior and interior at all window locations. Include SDL’s in all single-hung windows.

Window B (Qty. 1 per cabin): 3224 Picture Window (Non-Operable) - Replicate Muntins with similar SDL’s at exterior and interior at all window locations. Include SDL’s in all picture windows.

Window C (Qty. 1 per cabin): 2832 Picture Window (Non-Operable) - w/obscure privacy glass @ exterior IGU pane. Exterior SDL’s only.

Note: See window specification for requirements, options, and approved manufacturers.

Work restrictions It is the intent of these work restrictions to allow for use of the cabins by the public during peak periods and minimize loss of revenue to the Department.

No work is permitted Friday, Saturday, or Sunday.

No work is permitted May 25th through May 28th.

To ensure cabins remain usable by the public during the non-working periods above:

o Individual window replacement must be completed in accordance with the Contract Documents by the beginning of the non-working period.

o Do not begin a window replacement if completion in accordance with the Contract Documents by the beginning of the non-working period is uncertain.

o Not all windows in a cabin need to be replaced by the beginning of the non-work period.

For example, a cabin with three windows completed in accordance with the Contract Documents and three that have not had work begun at the end of Thursday is acceptable. In this example, the remaining windows can be completed beginning on the following Monday.
