PURPOSE
-- The purpose of the Contract Compliance Program (hereinafter called Program) is to act

business enterprise (MBE/WBE) in City awarded construction contracts.
The Program does not propose to eliminate any bona fide contractor or subcontractor
from bidding on City contracts, but it will hopefully serve as a needed stimulus to help
local MBE/WBE's grow and eventually become mainstream contractors and
subcontractors.
This Contract Compliance Program does not propose to include any set-aside or quotas,
but only flexible goals where "good-faith efforts" are required by the contractor to use
MBE/WBE subcontractors.
INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS IB-3 of 10 FY 2019 University Avenue Reconstruction-Phase 2
AECOM#60528991-Ph2 City Contract No.934 Waterloo,Iowa
This Program shall not eliminate the need for contractors to continue their "good-faith
efforts" in using MBE/WBE subcontractors on City contracts estimated at less than
$50,000.
The City of Waterloo will make every effort to reduce in-house construction and
maintenance work that would be more cost effectively performed by the private sector
and, thus, would allow additional bidding opportunities for MBE/WBE firms.
The City Contract Compliance Officer shall be advised of all City of Waterloo awarded
construction contracts.
DEFINITIONS
Goals:
A flexible numerically expressed objective which contractors are required to make "good-
faith efforts." The key to the requirement is to make documented efforts. Goals are
neither set-a-sides nor a device to achieve proportional representation or equal results.
Numerical goals do not create set-a-sides for specific groups, nor are they designed to
achieve proportional representation or equal results. Rather, the goal-setting process in
affirmative action planning is used to target and measure the effectiveness of affirmative
action efforts to eradicate and prevent discrimination.
Quota:
A flat numerical requirement that the contractor is required to meet in order to obtain the
benefit or be in compliance. The numerical goal component of affirmative action
programs is not designed to be, nor may it properly or lawfully be interpreted as,
permitting unlawful preferential treatment and quotas with respect to persons of any race,
color, religion, sex, or national origin. The regulations at 41 CFR 60-2.12(a), 60-2.15 and
60-2.30, specifically prohibit discrimination and the use of goals as quotas. (U.S.
Department of Labor)

that purpose (a copy of which is included in the contract documents), a statement of bidder's
qualifications, his experience record in constructing the type of improvements embraced, and his
organization and equipment available for the work contemplated; and, when specifically

such steps as it deems necessary to determine the ability of the bidder to perform his obligations
under the contract, and the bidder shall furnish the City of Waterloo, Iowa, all such information
and data for this purpose as it may request. The right is reserved to reject any bid where an

conforming to the Specifications, is most advantageous to the City of Waterloo; price and
other factors considered. The intention is to award the contract at the time of opening
bids, but the right is reserved to postpone such action for a reasonable time, not

bids received.
c. The bidder shall submit bids on all the items listed in the proposal and shall state the unit
bid price in words in the blank spaces provided beneath the item description. Should
there be any discrepancy between the unit bid price in words and listed numeral unit bid
price, the City of Waterloo shall consider the unit bid price in words as being the valid unit

acceptable. Proposals requiring mathematical computations to determine unit prices or
totals will be rejected. A contract will be awarded to the qualified bidder submitting the
lowest total bid as indicated in the NOTICE TO BIDDERS.

responsible bidder, 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

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

conditions therein contained and shall guarantee the prompt payment of all persons,
firms, or corporations to whom the contractor may become legally indebted for labor,
materials, tools, equipment, or services of any nature including utility and transportation
services, employed or used by him in performing the work. The bonds shall protect and
save harmless the City from claims and damages of any kind caused by the operations of

for the work is subsequently executed, irrespective of whether the amount thus due
exceeds the amount of the bid guaranty. If a more favorable bid is received by re-
-
advertising, the defaulting bidder shall have no claim against the City of Waterloo, Iowa,

from his decision, within ten (10) days of its receipt, and in any other case, within a reasonable time after
cause thereof, and in no case later than the time of final payment, except as otherwise expressly
stipulated in the contract. If the Engineer fails to make a decision within a reasonable time, an appeal to
arbitration may be taken as if his decision had been rendered against the part appealing.
No one shall be nominated or act as an arbitrator who is in any way financially interested in the
contract or in the business affairs of either the City or the Contractor.
The general procedure shall conform to the laws of the State of Iowa. Unless otherwise provided
by such laws, the parties may agree upon one arbitrator; otherwise, there shall be three--one named in
writing by each party to this contract to the other party, and the third chosen by these two arbitrators, or, if —
they fail to select a third within ten (10) days, then he shall be chosen by the Comptroller of the State of
Iowa. Should either party refuse or neglect to supply the arbitrators with any papers or information
demanded in writing, the arbitrators are empowered by both parties to proceed ex parte.
If there be one arbitrator, his decision shall be binding; if three, the decision of any two shall be
binding. Such decision shall be a condition precedent to any right of legal action, and, wherever
permitted by law, it may be filed in Court to carry it into effect.
The arbitrators, if they deem that the case demands it, are authorized to award to the party whose
contention is sustained such sums as they shall deem proper for the time, expense, and trouble incident
to the appeal, and, if the appeal was taken without reasonable cause, damages for delay, the arbitrators
shall fix their own compensation unless otherwise provided by agreement, and shall assess the costs and
charges of the arbitration upon either or both parties.
The award of the arbitrators must be in writing, and it shall not be open to objections on account
of the form of proceeding or the award, unless otherwise provided by the laws of Iowa.
In the event of such laws providing on any matter covered by this article otherwise than as
hereinbefore specified, the method of procedure throughout and the legal effect of the award shall be
wholly in accordance with the laws of the State of Iowa, it being intended hereby to lay down a principle of
action to be followed, leaving its local application to be adopted to the legal requirements of the place in
which the work is to be done.
