hereinafter called the CONTRACTOR.
WITNESSETH: That for and in consideration of the payments and agreements hereinafter mentioned, to be made and
performed by the parties mentioned above, the CONTRACTOR agrees with the DEPARTMENT, to commence and
complete the project described as follows and collectively referred to as the Project:
This project includes constructing ADA-compliant PCC sidewalk, parking stalls, and fishing amenities.
Located at: Viking Lake State Park, 2780 Viking Lake Rd, Stanton, IA 51573 in Montgomery County, Iowa, for the sum of $
____________. This contract supersedes all prior contracts or agreements between the DEPARTMENT and the
CONTRACTOR for the work described in this contract. The Project is more thoroughly and specifically described in Article
2, Scope of Work, of this contract.
ARTICLE 1 - DEPARTMENT REPRESENTATIVE
The representative of the DEPARTMENT shall be Zach Gunsolley, Southwest Iowa District Engineer, 515-250-3713, and
all communications from the CONTRACTOR should occur thereto. However, any modifications or payments must be
approved by the highest-level signatory for the DEPARTMENT, as described on the signature page.
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.
● DEPARTMENT’S Construction Plans as Attachment B.
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.
Rev.4-28-2026
COMPETITIVE QUOTATION (MINOR) PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT CONTRACT
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: October 30, 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 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
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
