Worth County, Iowa

Sealed bids will be received by the Iowa Department of Agriculture & Land Stewardship, Division of Soil Conservation and Water Quality (Division), via the Iowa Management of Procurement and Contracts System (IMPACS), until 3:00 PM local time, Thursday, 11/12/2026. The bid opening, open to the public, will be held through IMPACS beginning at 3:00 PM local time, on Thursday, 11/12/2026, when bids will be read aloud. Interested parties may call in to hear the bid opening using the Microsoft Teams call-in number and code: +1 469-998-7627,,147759330#. Bids must be submitted on the appropriate bid forms provided and shall include a bid bond in the amount of ten percent (10%). Bidders must also be registered with the Iowa Department of Inspections, Appeals & Licensing.

This project is for the construction of the East and West wetland systems as shown in the plans, which will be awarded together to the lowest bidder. In general, the work includes constructing a wetland that will treat the water from an existing ditch using a solar panel powered pump. The project includes, but is not limited to, selective clearing, excavation and grading, along with tile and outlet structures, pump installation, tile installation, riprap placement, and seeding. This project includes around 7,500 cubic yards of earthwork, 700 linear feet of pipe installation, 129 tons of riprap, installation of 2 modified SW-512 intake concrete structures, 3 modified SW-513 outlet concrete structures, 2 modified SW-401 and 402 lift stations concrete structures, 3 solar pump systems and 2.5 acres of seeding. The estimated construction cost range for this project is $225,000 to $325,000.

Construction will commence within 7 days of the preconstruction meeting, unless otherwise mutually agreed upon.

Construction deadline: 09/01/2027 Seeding deadline-buffer: 12/15/2027 (MUST BE COMPLETED WITHIN THE BUFFER SEEDING PERIOD.)

Seeding deadline-structure: 12/15/2027 (MUST BE COMPLETED WITHIN THE STRUCTURE SEEDING PERIOD.)

Given the number of projects being bid and the meetings involved, we believe we can be more strategic in determining when in-person attendance is necessary. To improve efficiency while maintaining appropriate participation and communication, a virtual attendance option is being added for pre-bid meetings. This option is intended to provide flexibility and is not a replacement for attendance or participation when in-person attendance is necessary.

If you plan to attend the pre-bid meeting in person, you MUST email Tracy.Blocker@iowaagriculture.gov by 3:00 PM the day prior to the pre-bid meeting to confirm your in-person attendance.

If no one has indicated that they will attend in person by the deadline, the pre-bid meeting will be held virtually only. No in-person meeting will be held in that circumstance.

Attendance at the pre-bid conference by prospective bidders is not mandatory but is encouraged.

In-Person Pre-Bid Meeting Option: RSVP Required by 3:00 PM the Day Prior Time: 10:30 AM Date: 10/27/2026 Location: USDA Service Center, USDA Service Center, Norwood, IA 50459 Phone: 515-344-6279

https://bids.sciquest.com/apps/Router/PublicEvent?CustomerOrg=DASIowa keyword: wetland View as PDF to download bid documents without logging in to IMPACS BIDDER LOGIN - https://solutions.sciquest.com/apps/Router/SupplierLogin?CustOrg=DASIowa

These include Document AA – Notice to Bidders, Document BB – Instruction to Bidders, Document CC – Proposal and Schedule of Prices, Document DD – Construction Contract, Document EE – Proposal Guarantee (Bid Bond), Document FF – General Conditions, Document GG – Special Conditions, Document NN – Performance Bond. The website also contains the Construction Specifications and the Construction Plans developed by the engineer. The documents on these websites can be viewed or printed by those interested in the project.

The Division will maintain an updated plan holders list for this project. In order to be added to the plan holders list, the interested party must contact the Division by phone, fax, letter, or e-mail. Bidders who attend and sign-in to the pre-bid conference will be added to the plan holders list. Viewing the documents on-line does not automatically add you to the plan holders list. Those listed as a plan holder will receive meeting minutes, any and all addenda and an updated plan holders list.

These documents can be received directly from the Division.

04 METHOD OF BIDDING

Bidders shall submit unit price bids as required for the work items covered by the Bid Documents. Failure to submit unit prices as required shall result in disqualification of the bid. Prices shall cover complete work and include all costs incidental thereto, unless otherwise indicated.

The Division may change location, quantities, and combination of units as required during the progress of construction. If work is added to the Contract that is not covered by a bid price set forth in the Proposal and Schedule of Prices (Document CC), a Change Order or Contract Amendment as necessary, including the negotiated cost for said work, will be issued by the Division prior to the work being performed.

Bids will be compared using quantities shown in the proposal. The quantities of work shown represent the Engineer’s estimate of work to be completed as shown on the plans and measured in accordance with provisions in this Contract defining the method to be used in measuring such quantities. The Contractor's compensation will be computed on the basis of final quantities of completed work. Where a lump sum is shown on the proposal as a unit bid price for a specified work item, the Contractor will be paid that amount for the completed and accepted work.

In the event of discrepancies between unit prices and unit price extensions listed in bidder's proposal, unit prices shall govern.

05 SUBMISSION OF BIDS

Interested bidders shall only submit bids on IMPACS. All required documents must be submitted on IMPACS for the bid to be opened. These documents include: the Bid Submittal Authorization Form, acknowledgment of all issued addenda, and the Bid Bond as specified in Section 06.

07 WITHDRAWAL OF BIDS

Bids may be withdrawn any time prior to the scheduled closing time for receipt of bids; but no bid may be withdrawn for a period of thirty (30) calendar days thereafter.

08 EVALUATION OF BIDS AND AWARD OF CONTRACT

The Contract shall be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder as determined by the Division. In evaluating the bids, the Division may consider such factors as bid price and bidder qualifications outlined in Section 02, including whether the bidder currently has a contract in default with the Division. In comparing bid prices, the total bids of the various bidders shall be determined by applying the unit prices bid for each work item against the estimated work item quantities set forth in the proposal.

09 TAXES

Materials purchased for this construction contract let by the Division are exempt from sales and use tax, including local option taxes.

10 EXECUTION OF CONTRACT

The bidder to whom the contract is awarded will be required to execute the Contract, obtain the appropriate insurance coverage and the Performance Bond, provide their Iowa Department of Labor Public Registration Number, and complete the provided Construction Progress Schedule within fourteen (14) calendar days from the date when Notice-of-Award is delivered to the Bidder. The necessary Contract, Performance Bond, and Construction Progress Schedule forms shall accompany the Notice-of- Award. In case of failure of the Bidder to execute the Contract, the Division shall have the option to consider the Bidder in default, in which case the Bid Bond accompanying the proposal shall become the property of the Division.

The Division, within fourteen (14) days of receipt of acceptable proof of insurance coverage, Performance Bond, and Contract, signed by the party to whom the Contract was awarded, shall sign the Contract and return to such party an executed copy of the Contract. Should the Division not execute the Contract within such period, the Bidder may, with written notice, withdraw the signed Contract. Such notice of withdrawal shall be effective upon receipt of the notice by the Division.

The Division shall review the submitted Construction Progress Schedule, and work with the Contractor to adjust the schedule if it is deemed necessary. The Notice-to-Proceed shall be issued by the Division within five (5) days of the execution of the Contract, provided that the Construction Progress Schedule has been accepted by the Division. Should there be additional time required to make adjustments to the Construction Progress Schedule, the time to issue the Notice-to-Proceed may be extended to allow for this. Should there be any other reason why the Notice-to-Proceed cannot be issued within such period, the time may be extended by mutual agreement between the Division and Contractor. If the Notice-to-Proceed has not been issued within a thirty (30) day period, or within a greater period mutually agreed upon, the Contractor may terminate the Contract without further liability on the part of either party.

The Contract when executed shall be deemed to include the entire agreement between the parties; the Contractor shall not claim any modifications resulting from representation or promise made by representatives of the Division or other persons.

However, said quantities are only estimates and are subject to increases and/or decreases during construction of the project.

12 QUESTIONS AND ADDENDA

If any person contemplating submitting a bid for the proposed work, material or equipment is in doubt as to the true meaning of any part of the Plans, Construction Specifications, or other Contract Documents, that person may request an interpretation thereof. The person submitting the request will be responsible for its prompt delivery.

Questions concerning interpretation or intent of the Plans and Construction Specifications should be made in writing and directed to the Engineer, with the Division copied on the correspondence, as specified in the Notice-to-Bidders.
