The Iowa Department of Transportation (Iowa DOT) is seeking a contractor to complete the Sloan Sanitary Sewer Upgrade project, which involves installing a new sanitary line for the Sloan Maintenance Garage, including new reclamation pumps and controls. The Request for Bid (RFB) was posted on June 17, 2025, with a bid closing date of July 8, 2025, at 1:00 PM CDT. A pre-bid meeting is highly recommended and scheduled for June 25, 2025, at 11:00 AM CT via Microsoft Teams, with interested bidders advised to schedule a site visit by contacting Teri Schulz. The project is estimated to commence on July 21, 2025, and be completed by November 14, 2025. Evaluation criteria will include cost, meeting mandatory requirements, proposed staffing, time schedule, and past work performance. The contract will be awarded to the most advantageous bidder, with payment terms consisting of monthly state warrants covering 95% of the completed work value.

The solicitation does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The project falls under multiple commodity codes related to plumbing, utilities, and maintenance services, suggesting a technical infrastructure upgrade. The Iowa DOT is identified as a tax-exempt agency, and Davis-Bacon wages do not apply to this specific project. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the project appears to be focused on upgrading existing maintenance garage infrastructure. The detailed scope suggests this is a targeted infrastructure improvement project, though a specific budget range is not explicitly stated in the available documentation. Potential bidders should note that the contract will be awarded based on a comprehensive evaluation of both cost and technical capabilities, with an emphasis on meeting the project's specific technical requirements and timelines.
