Renovation of a municipal facility in Webster City, Iowa. Completed plans call for the renovation of a municipal facility.

Bids received after the time and date stated above will not be considered and will be returned to bidder. C. Work under this contract includes replacement of rooftop and interior HVAC equipment, associated mechanical and electrical work, repairs to existing membrane roof assemblies, selective interior demolition, replacement of interior finishes and other related work. Each proposal shall be made on the official bid proposal form prepared for this purpose, which may be obtained from the Engineer. Any alteration in the official bid proposal form will entitle the City Council at its option to reject the proposal involved from consideration. Each proposal shall be accompanied by a bid bond or a certified check or cashier's check, drawn on a solvent state or national bank, or a certified share draft drawn on a credit union in Iowa, and filed in a sealed envelope separate from the one containing the proposal. The bidder's certified check or bid bond shall be in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the amount of the proposal, made payable to the City of Webster City, Iowa. The check may be cashed by the City Council or the bid bond forfeited to the City Council as liquidated damages in the event the successful bidder fails to enter into a contract and file acceptable bonds satisfactory to the City Council assuring the faithful fulfillment of the contract and maintenance of said improvements as required by law within 10 days after the acceptance of the successful bidder's proposal. The City Council reserves the right to reject any or all proposals, or to defer action on the proposals for a period of not to exceed 30 days from and after the date and time specified in this notice for receiving proposals. F. The successful bidder will be required to furnish a Performance Bond and a Payment Bond, each in an amount equal to 100 percent of the contract price. Said bonds are to be issued by a responsible Surety approved by the City Council and shall guarantee that the Principal will promptly make payment to all persons, firms, subcontractors and corporations furnishing materials for or performing labor in the prosecution of the work stated and the faithful performance of the contract and the terms and conditions therein contained and the guarantee that all work performed and materials furnished shall be free from defects for a period of one (1) year from the time of acceptance of said improvements by the City Council. Payment to the Contractor for said improvements will be made in monthly increments based on the estimated progress of the Contractor in performing the contract. Payment will be made from cash on hand and from such other funds as are available to the City Council that may be legally used for such purpose. H. At least 10 days before each progress payment falls due (but not more often than once a month), the Contractor will submit to the Engineer a partial payment estimate filled out and signed by the Contractor covering the work performed during the period covered by the partial payment estimate and supported by such data as the Engineer may reasonably require. If payment is required on the basis of materials and equipment not incorporated in the work but delivered and suitably stored at or near the site, the partial payment estimate shall also be accompanied by such supporting data, satisfactory to the City Council, as will establish the City Council' title to the material and equipment and protect the City Council' interest therein, including applicable insurance. The Engineer will, within 10 days after receipt of each partial payment estimate, either indicate in writing approval of payment and present the partial payment estimate to the City Council, or return the partial payment estimate to the Contractor indicating in writing the reasons for refusing to approve payment. In the latter case, the Contractor may make the necessary corrections and resubmit the partial payment estimate. The City Council will, within 10 days of presentation to the City Council of an approved partial payment estimate, pay the Contractor a progress payment on the basis of the approved partial payment estimate. I. The City Council shall retain from each monthly payment five percent (5.0%) of that amount which is determined to be due according to the estimate of the Engineer. The retainage shall constitute a fund for the payment of claims for materials furnished and labor performed on said improvement and will be held and disposed of by the City Council as hereinafter provided. Such monthly payment shall in no way be construed as an act of acceptance for any part of the work partially or totally completed. Final payment of the retainage due the Contractor will be made not earlier than 31 days after the final acceptance of said work by the City Council subject to the conditions and in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 573 of the Code of Iowa. J. Work covered by partial payment shall not be construed as relieving the Contractor of the sole responsibility for the care and protection of the work upon which payments have been made or the restoration of any damaged work, or as a waiver of the rights of the City Council to require the fulfillment of all terms of the contract documents. No such partial or final payment will be due until the Contractor has certified to the City Council that the materials, labor and services involved in each estimate have been paid for in accordance with the requirements stated in the specifications. K. The Contractor shall indemnify and save the City Council or the City Council' agents harmless from all claims growing out of the lawful demands of subcontractors, laborers, workers, material suppliers and furnishers of machinery, equipment, tools and all supplies incurred in the furtherance of the performance of the work on said improvements. The Contractor shall, at the City Council' request, furnish satisfactory evidence that all obligations of the nature designated above have been paid, discharged or waived. L. If the Contractor fails to do so, the City Council may, after having notified the Contractor, either pay unpaid bills or withhold from the Contractor's unpaid compensation, a sum of money deemed reasonably sufficient to pay any and all such lawful claims until satisfactory evidence is furnished that all liabilities have been fully discharged whereupon payment to the Contractor shall be resumed in accordance with the terms of the contract documents, but in no event shall the provisions of this sentence be construed to impose any obligations upon the City Council to either the Contractor, his Surety or any third party. In paying any unpaid bills of the Contractor, any payment so made by the City Council shall be considered as a payment made under the contract documents by the City Council to the Contractor and the City Council shall not be liable to the Contractor for any such payments made in good faith. M. By virtue of statutory authority, preference will be given to products and provisions grown and coal produced within the State of Iowa, and to Iowa domestic labor, to the extent lawfully required under Iowa statutes provided that the award of contract will be made to the lowest responsible bidder submitting the lowest responsive bid, which shall be determined without regard to state or local laws giving preference to factors other than the amount of the bid. N. Work under the proposed contract shall be commenced immediately after the award of the contract and shall be completed and ready for operation not later than 365 calendar days after the notice to proceed, subject to any extension of time which may be granted by the City Council. O. Before final payment will be made, the Contractor shall file in duplicate with the City Council an itemized statement showing the amount of Iowa sales tax and to whom paid on all materials which have become part of the finished work. Plans, specifications and proposed contract documents are on file with the Engineer, for examination by bidders.
