RECIPROCAL RESIDENT BIDDER PREFERENCE
In response to Illinois' law concerning resident preference and in accordance with Section 73A.21 of the Iowa Code,
all non-federal-aid public improvement projects, which include road construction, shall be performed by a qualified
resident bidder. The resident bidder has been further defined as follows:
To be a qualified resident bidder, the person, corporation, partnership, or firm shall not have, as
employees, Illinois laborers on the work site of a non-federal-aid project within Iowa. An Illinois
laborer is any person who has resided in Illinois for at least 30 days and intends to become or
remain an Illinois resident. This applies to all labor on the project, whether skilled, semi-skilled, or
unskilled; whether manual or non-manual. This also applies to work subcontracted by or to the
resident bidder on a non-federal-aid project within Iowa. The resident bidder may place on such
work no more than three residents of Illinois who are his regularly employed executive and
technical experts.
As noted, this definition gives a preference as to whom the contractors or subcontractors can employ. The
contractor shall provide the City with a certification that he is a qualified resident bidder according to the above
definition. The Certification shall be submitted with the contractor's bid. A copy of the form of "Resident Bidder
Certification" is included in the Contract Documents. If it is determined that the contractor does not meet this
qualification after he begins work, a shutdown notice shall be issued and the voiding of the contract shall begin
unless the contractor becomes qualified.
