By virtue of statutory authority preference will be given to products and pro- visions grown and coal produced within the State of Iowa and to Iowa domestic labor. In accordance with Iowa statutes, a resident bidder shall be allowed a pref- erence 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 pref- erential treatment to bidders or laborers from that state or foreign country. The preference allowed shall be equal to the preference given or required by the state or foreign country in which the nonresident bidder is a resident. In the instance 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 construction of a public improvement by the state or foreign country in which the nonresident bidder is a resident. In accordance with the requirements of the Iowa Department of Labor all bidders must submit a fully completed Bidder Status Form. The Bidder Status Form must be included with and is considered an essential attachment to the Proposal. Any Proposal that does not include a fully completed Bidder Status Form may result in the Proposal being determined non-responsive and rejected. If it is determined that adherence to these Iowa statutory requirements may cause denial of federal funds which would otherwise be available for a public im- provement, or would otherwise be inconsistent with requirements of any federal law or regulation, the application of Iowa Code Chapters 73 and 73A shall be suspended to the extent necessary to prevent denial of the funds or to eliminate the inconsistency with federal requirements. The City of Guttenberg reserves the right to reject any or all bids, to waive informalities, and to enter into such contract, or contracts, as it shall deem to be in the best interest of the City. Plans and specifications governing the construction of the proposed im- provements have been prepared by VEENSTRA & KIMM, INC. of Dubuque, Iowa, which plans and specifications and the proceedings of the City Council referring to and defining said improvements are hereby made a part of this no- tice and the proposed contract by reference, and the proposed contract shall be executed to comply therewith.
