��r�oo �� Municipal Bidding and COVID- 19
The Waterloo City Clerk's Office is committed to balancing the important role municipal bidding plays
in the local economy with ensuring the safety of city staff as COVID-19 cases spread through Iowa.
We encourage prospective bidders to follow the guidelines below for submitting bids while public
access to City Hall is limited and the City Clerk's Office is closed to the public.
1. We strongly recommend all bidders submit bids by mail, Fed-Ex, or UPS prior to the bid
deadline. Bids should be mailed to the following address:
City Clerk's Office
715 Mulberry Street
Waterloo, IA 50703
Please note on the envelope which project you are bidding on.
2. Contractors wishing to deliver a bid in person while public access to City Hall is limited should
call the City Clerk's Office at 319-291-4323 prior to dropping off a bid in person. In the event
another city department receives a bid, employees will work to ensure it arrives at the correct
location prior to the bid opening. Bids delivered to a department other than City Clerk's Office
will be accepted if received prior to the deadline listed in the notice.
3. All bids received will be initialed and the time received recorded, in accordance with Iowa
public bidding laws.
4. Bid openings will be held in the Harold E. Getty Council Chambers on the second floor of City
Hall until public access to City Hall changes. The bid openings will be livestreamed on
YouTube and made available on the city website.
5. Contractors or the public may request copies of opened bids by calling the City Clerk's Office
at 319-291-4323 or emailing clerk a(�waterloo-ia.orq. Received bids are made available on the
