25-14 Nutrient Reduction Wetland

The Flo971523B Nutrient Reduction Wetland Project involves constructing a traditional breakpoint nutrient reduction wetland in Floyd County, Iowa, with work scheduled for completion by November 15, 2026, and seeding finalized by December 15, 2026. The scope includes earthwork (approximately 16,036 cubic yards), installation of steel sheetpile, tile drainage (around 1,985 linear feet), water control structures, riprap, concrete grout, culverts, and seeding over 13.3 acres, with an estimated construction cost between $350,000 and $450,000. The project specifications emphasize compliance with detailed technical standards, quality control, and environmental regulations, with key milestones including a pre-bid conference on October 14, 2025, and bid submission due by October 28, 2025. Bids are to be submitted electronically via IMPACS, accompanied by a 10% bid bond, with the award going to the lowest responsible bidder meeting all requirements. The contractual framework is built upon a comprehensive set of project-specific documents, including notices, instructions, detailed plans, specifications, and administrative forms. The contract does not incorporate standard FAR clauses but is governed by these tailored documents, which specify bonding requirements (performance and payment bonds of 100%), procedures for modifications via change orders, and termination rights related to funding or legal issues. The project emphasizes strict adherence to deadlines, with detailed schedules for construction and seeding, and mandates that all work be performed at the designated site in Floyd County. Inspection and acceptance are conducted at the project site, with the contractor responsible for quality control, testing, and correcting non-compliant work, while the Division oversees final approval and certification. Payment procedures involve monthly progress applications, with final settlement contingent upon certification of completion and compliance with all contractual and regulatory standards.
