This project includes HMA saw cut, gravel and dirt excavations, granular subbase placement, rock placement, ~450 SY 6-

COMPETITIVE QUOTATION (MINOR) PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT CONTRACT
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.
● ERI section and site photos.
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: August 15th,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 not 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
Rev.4-28-2026
COMPETITIVE QUOTATION (MINOR) PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT CONTRACT
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.
