Major items of work for this project include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • The installation of a new natural gas generator with weatherproof enclosure, a service-rated automatic transfer switch, and all associated conduit, conductors, gas piping, and concrete equipment base required for a complete and operational system.
A pre-bid walk through has been scheduled for Monday, October 27, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. at the Southwest Iowa Training Center.  Attendance is strongly encouraged, but not mandatory.
The Southwest Iowa Training Center is located at the following address:
10073 192nd Street
Council Bluffs, IA 51503

The bid will be awarded based on the Lump Sum total of Line 1 and Line 2, as specified.

The work under the proposed contract shall be completed as detailed in the Instructions to Bidders. All work is to be completed on or before June 30, 2026.

The City of Council Bluffs will accept electronic bid submittals in IonWave until the date and time listed for this solicitation. Hard copy bid submittals are not acceptable and will not be considered. Any bid submitted after the deadline will be automatically rejected.

Each respondent is responsible for taking the necessary steps to ensure their submission is received and complete by the listed deadline. Incomplete submissions are automatically rejected. The City is not responsible for technical difficulties and will not allow late submissions due to the same.

Each proposal shall be accompanied by a certified check, bid bond by a surety company registered to do business in the State of Iowa, or a certified share draft drawn on a credit union in Iowa or chartered under the laws of the United States in the amount of ten percent (10%) of the total bid price and made payable to the City of Council Bluffs. A copy of the certified check, bid bond, or share draft is to be uploaded in the assigned requested attachments area. If a company who has a check is awarded the bid, the City will request the physical check at that time. The certified check or share draft will be returned to the successful bidder once the agreement has been executed. Letters of credit and company or personal checks are not acceptable substitutes for a bid bond and will be cause for rejection of bid.
The successful bidder will be required to furnish satisfactory performance and payment bonds in the amount of one-hundred percent (100%) of the total bid price, a certificate of insurance and a certificate of equal employment opportunity and comply with minimum wage provisions as established by the U.S. Department of Labor.
