About this file

This is a Standard Road Plan specification document issued by the Iowa Department of Transportation detailing subdrain replacement procedures and requirements for farm tile drainage systems affected by roadway construction projects. The document provides comprehensive technical guidance for replacing or relocating existing field tile drains that are intercepted by road construction. Specific deliverables outlined in the related Davenport Tile Boring Replacement project include 544 linear feet of 4-inch subdrain plastic pipe, 50 linear feet of steel encasement, and 325 cubic yards of topsoil management, along with 0.20 acres of mulching and seeding. The project bid (RFB #645-RFB-1746-2025) is scheduled to open on May 7, 2025 at 5:25 PM CDT and close on May 29, 2025 at 1:00 PM CDT, with an estimated completion date of November 15, 2025. Site visits are permitted Monday through Thursday between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM, with specific safety requirements for interstate shoulder access.

The specification establishes three cases for subdrain replacement—within right-of-way limits, relocated outside limits, and outlet into roadway ditch—with a replacement schedule indicating required pipe sizes based on existing tile dimensions and depth. Replacement sizes are calculated to provide equivalent capacity using Manning's Formula with specified slope and roughness coefficients, with concrete pipe requiring Class III 2000D minimum strength. Bidders must be registered with the Iowa Department of Workforce Development and demonstrate capability to execute the project. The Iowa DOT is a tax-exempt agency and Davis-Bacon wages do not apply. Evaluation criteria include cost, compliance with mandatory requirements, proposed staffing, and work schedule. Performance and payment bonds may be required if the contracted amount exceeds $25,000. Payments will be processed monthly up to 95 percent of work performed value, with deliveries designated F.O.B. Destination.
