Interested contractors are required to include in their competitive quotations the price for labor, materials, disposal fees, equipment and supplies required to perform the work. Each contractor submitting a quotation pursuant to this RFQ shall commit to providing a certificate or certificates of insurance, evidencing insurance with coverages and in amounts as required by the City if awarded the contract. The City will issue special sales tax exemption certificates to the contractor awarded the contract to perform the work and to its subcontractors, pursuant to Iowa Code Section 422.42, (15) and (16) and Iowa Code Section 422.47 (5). The contractor awarded the contract for the work and its subcontractors should present such certificate when procuring materials and equipment for the project, and should not pay sales tax for such materials and equipment.

If a quoting contractor does not submit its quotation on the form required by the governmental entity, or does not provide all information or documentation or make all commitments required by the governmental entity, or does not cause said form to be executed as required by the governmental entity, said quotation shall be determined to be non-responsive and shall be rejected by the governmental entity. The Contractor hereby agrees to fully complete the project by November 15, 2022; and to pay liquidated damages for noncompliance with said completion provisions at the rate of Fifty dollars ($50) for each calendar day thereafter that the work remains incomplete. Upon the Citys determination which contractor has submitted the lowest responsive, responsible quotation, the City will take action to award the contract to that contractor, conditioned upon the contractors submission, and the City's approval, of the contractors evidence of insurance, and further conditioned upon the contractors execution of a contract in the form provided by the City.
