contract a corporate surety bond, in a form acceptable to the Jurisdiction, for the faithful performance of

The City of Cedar Rapids seeks to enhance worker safety by creating workplaces that are free of drugs

Applicable Laws and Regulations

By virtue of statutory authority, preference will be given to products and provisions grown and coal

In accordance with Iowa statutes, a resident bidder shall be allowed a preference as against a

nonresident bidder from a state or foreign country if that state or foreign country gives or requires any

preference to bidders from that state or foreign country, including but not limited to any preference to

bidders, the imposition of any type of labor force preference, or any other form of preferential treatment to

bidders or laborers from that state or foreign country. The preference allowed shall be equal to the

preference given or required by the state or foreign country in which the nonresident bidder is a resident.

In the instance of a resident labor force preference, a nonresident bidder shall apply the same resident

labor force preference to a public improvement in this state as would be required in the construction of a

public improvement by the state or foreign country in which the nonresident bidder is a resident.

Iowa, as amended, and in anticipation of the collection of said special assessments. Special Assessment

bonds to be sold by the City shall not be less than the par value thereof plus accrued interest.
