The project encompasses comprehensive wetland restoration services including selective clearing, excavation, grading, steel sheet pile installation, drainage tile installation, water control structure installation, riprap placement, concrete grouting, earthwork operations totaling approximately 12,900 cubic yards, and seeding of 17 acres across two phases. Sealed bids must be submitted through the Iowa Management of Procurement and Contracts System (IMPACS) by 3:00 PM on May 20, 2026, with bid opening occurring immediately thereafter via Microsoft Teams. A pre-bid conference is scheduled for 10:30 AM on April 23, 2026, at the USDA Service Center-NRCS in Algona, Iowa. All construction work except seeding must be completed by December 31, 2026, with structure seeding due by May 15, 2027, and buffer seeding by June 30, 2027. Contractors must commence work within 14 days of the preconstruction meeting.

Bidders must submit a proposal guarantee (bid bond) equal to 10 percent of the base bid amount and a notarized affidavit confirming examination of contract documents and absence of collusion. The successful contractor must execute a Performance Bond equal to 100 percent of the contract price within 14 days of receiving the Notice-of-Award. Liquidated damages are assessed at $175.00 per calendar day for failure to complete all work except seeding by December 31, 2026, and $125.00 per calendar day for seeding work delays beyond the specified deadlines. The estimated construction cost range is $350,000 to $450,000, with payment structured as lump sum for site stripping, mobilization and demobilization, and water control structures, and unit-price bids for excavation, earthfill variants, topsoil placement, drainage tile, riprap placement, and seeding components. Monthly payments will be made at 97 percent of completed work value, with retention withheld for 30 days following final acceptance.

The amount of liquidated damages herein fairly approximates Division’s loss at the time of making of this Agreement;

The amount of liquidated damages fixed herein are fair and reasonable and it approximates to the extent possible the actual loss to Division as a result of any delay on the part of Contractor; and

Division and Contractor are sophisticated parties and negotiated this Agreement at arm’s length.

Now therefore, in consideration of the mutual obligations set forth herein, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

Contractor will commence the work after the Preconstruction Conference and by the Construction Start Date approved by Division in the Construction Progress Schedule.

Contractor will complete the work within the specified time period identified in the contract, or as amended, or be responsible for liquidated damages per day as set forth in the above table.

A Proposal Guarantee in the amount stipulated herein is included with this proposal, to be forfeited to the Division, if the undersigned fails or refuses to execute the contract and furnish satisfactory Performance Bond, if awarded the contract.
