SECTION III - SUGGESTED STEPS TO ASSURE EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES
COMPANY POLICY
Determine your company's policy regarding equal employment opportunities. Document the policy and
post it in a conspicuous place so that it is known to all your employees. Furthermore, disseminate the
policy to all potential sources of employees and to your subcontractors asking their cooperation. The
policy statement should recognize and accept your responsibility to provide equal employment
opportunity in all your employment practices. In regard to dissemination of this policy, thUcan be done,
for example, through the use of letters to all recruitment sources and subcontracts, peKsnnalacts,
employee meetings, web page postings, employee handbooks, and advertising. �e -X-0 �..
2. EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY OFFICER C.rev
Designate an equal employment opportunity officer or, at minimum, assign somEA
the_Fespd St�i ility
of administering and promoting your company's Equal Employment Opportunity rant.: This person
should have a position in your organization which emphasizes the importance of thftrogr,,P&.
3. INSTRUCT STAFF
Your staff should be aware of and be required to abide by your Equal Employment Opportunity
program. All employees authorized to hire, supervise, promote, or discharge employees or are involved
in such actions should be trained and required to comply with your policy and the current equal
employment opportunity laws.
RECRUITMENT
(a) Let potential employees know you are an equal opportunity employer. This can be done by
identifying yourself on all recruitment advertising as "an equal opportunity employer".
(b) Use recruitment sources that are likely to yield diverse applicant pools. Word-of-mouth
recruitment will only perpetuate the current composition of your workforce. Send recruitment
sources a letter annually which reaffirms your commitment to equal employment opportunity and
requests their assistance in helping you reach diverse applicant pools.
(c) Analyze and review your company's recruitment procedures to identify and eliminate
discriminatory barriers.
(d) Select and train persons involved in the employment process to use objective standards and to
support equal employment opportunity goals.
(e) Review periodically job descriptions to make sure they accurately reflect major job functions.
Review education and experience requirements to make sure they accurately reflect the
requirements for successful job performance.
(f) Review the job application to insure that only job related questions are asked. Ask yourself "Is
this information necessary to judge an applicant's ability to perform the job applied for?" Only
use job-related tests which do not adversely affect any particular group of people.
(g) Monitor interviews carefully. Prepare interview questions in advance to assure that they are only
job related. Train your interviewers on discrimination laws. Biased and subjective judgments in
personal interviews can be a major source of discrimination.
(h) Improve hiring and selection procedures and use non -biased promotion, transfer and training
policies to increase and/or improve the diversity of your workforce representation. Companies
must make sure procedures for selecting candidates for promotion, transfer and training are
based upon a fair assessment of an employee's ability and work record. Furthermore, all
companies should post and otherwise publicize all job promotional opportunities and
encourage all qualified employees to bid on them.

LABOR SERVICES DIVISION[875]
Adopted and Filed
Pursuant to the authority of Iowa Code section 73A.21, the Labor Commissioner hereby adopts a new
Chapter 156, "Bidder Preferences in Government Contracting," Iowa Administrative Code.
This amendment adopts new rules concerning preferences for resident bidders on government
construction projects. The new chapter sets forth requirements for a public body involved in a public
improvement and sets forth enforcement procedures.
Notice of Intended Action was published in the October 30, 2013, Iowa Administrative Bulletin
as ARC 1160C. Public comments regarding the proposed mics were received. Commenters stated
that some of the rules could be misinterpreted and that some of the rules were beyond the statutory
authority of Iowa Code section 73A.21. Commenters expressed ideas on how to make the bidding
process more efficient. Commenters also questionedthe constitutionality oflowa Code section 73A.21.
One commenter suggested adding compliance with Iowa Code chapter 91C as a basis to find that a
company is authorized to transact business in Iowa.
These rules are not identical to those published under Notice of Intended Action. Some changes arc
technical; other more substantive changes are described below.
References to "domicile" were removed from several rules.
Subrole 156.2(l) was changed to clarify that the requirements apply only to a project to be awarded
to the lowest responsible bidder; to clarify that only office addresses, not construction worksites, must
be reported; to remove a reference to perjury; and to change the deadline for submitting a statement to
the public body-
odyParagraph
Paragraph156.2(2)"b" was changed by deleting the phrase "tinder this Act."
Subrule 156.2(3) was changed by adding new paragraph "k" concerning construction contractor
registration, and by clarifying that compliance with only one of the lettered paragraphs in the subrulc
is necessary. '
Paragraph 156.2(4)"b" was changed by adding the phrase "if applicable." `
In rule 875-156.3(73A), the term "public body" replaced the term "nonresident bidden4 Z,

3.03 GEOTEXTILE:
A. Surface Preparation
The surface on which the geotextile is to be placed will be graded to the neat lines
and grades as shown on the plans. The surface will be reasonably smooth and free
of loose rock and clods, holes, depressions, projections, muddy conditions and
standing or flowing water.
B. Placement
1. Prior to placement of the geotextile, the soil surface will be inspected for quality of
design and construction. The geotextile will be placed on the approved surface at
the locations and in accordance with the details shown on the plans. TheSeotextile
will be unrolled along the placement area and loosely laid (not stretched) in such a
manner that it will conform to the surface irregularities when material is placed on
or against it. The geotextile may be folded and overlapped to permit proper
placement in the designated area.
2. The geotextile will be joined by overlapping a minimum of.18 inches (unless
otherwise specified on the plans or by the manufacturer), and secured against the
underlying foundation material. Securing pins, approved and provided by the
geotextile manufacturer, shall be placed along the edge of the panel or roll material
to adequately hold it in place during installation. Pins will be steel or fiberglass
formed as a "U", "L", or "T" shape or contain "ears" to prevent total penetration.
Steel washers will be provided on all but the "U" shaped pins. The upstream or up-
slope line will be inserted through both layers along a line tIrrough approximately
the midpoint of the overlap. At horizontal laps and across slope laps, securing pins
will be inserted through the bottom layer only. Securing pins will be placed along
a line approximately 2 inches in from the edge of the placed geotextile at intervals
not to exceed 12 feet unless otherwise specified. Additional pins will be installed
02270-2
as necessary and where appropriate, to prevent slippage or movement of the
geotextile. The use of securing pins Nvill be held to the minimum necessary. Pins
are to be left in place unless otherwise specified.
Should the geotextile be torn or punctured, or the overlaps disturbed, as evidenced
by visible damage,, subgrade pumping, intrusion, or grade distortion, the backfill
around the damaged or displaced area will be removed and restored to the original
approved condition. The repair will consist of a patch of the same type of
geotextile being used, overlapping the existing geotextile. Gcotextile panels joined
by overlap will have the patch extend a minimum of 2 feet from the edge of any
damaged area.
4. The geotextile will not be placed until it can be anchored and protected with the
specified covering within 48 hours or protected from exposure to ultraviolet light.
in no case will material be dropped on uncovered geotextile from a height greater
than 3 feet.

4.
After the retention period, flush the heavily chlorinated water from the main
until the chlorine concentration in the water leaving the main is no higher
WATER DISTRIBUTION- CITY OF IOWA Crl'Y - 02560
0 210 112 01 3 Page 14 of 17
than 3 mg/L and the water appears clean. Flush at a minimum velocity of 2.5
feet per second in the main through an opening not less than'/4 of the main
diameter. For 6 -inch through 12 -inch water mains, a single 2V2 -inch fire
hydrant opening is adequate. Water entering storm sewer system sball be
dechlorinated by a method approved by the Engineer to prevent downstream
environmental damage (i.e. fish kills).
5. After final flushing and before the new water main is connected to the
distribution system, two consecutive sets of acceptable samples, taken at
least 24 hours apart, shall be collected from the new main. At least one set of
samples shall be collected from every 800-1000 feet of the new water main,,
plus one set from the end of the line and at least one from each branch.
Deliver the sample to the University Hygienic Laboratory at Oakdale for
analysis. Allow approximately 5 days for the results. If the bacterial sample
shows the absence of coliform organisms, the hydrostatic test may proceed.

1. Prior to applying chlorine, do a preliminary flush at a minimum velocity of
2.5 feet per second in the main through an opening not less than 1/4 of the
main diameter. For 6 -inch through 12 -inch water- mains, a single 2% -inch
fire hydrant opening is adequate.
2. Add the water and chlorine solution with the required concentration to fill
the main completely.
3.12 TESTING.
A. Filling the water main:
1. Fill the newly constructed water main system slowly using treated public
water under low pressure and low flow. The objective is to displade `air with
water while avoiding damage to new construction. customer services, and
adjoining property due to the release of air and water. Public Works staff
must be on site to assist with operation of the system valves and hydrarl';ts
during this operation.
2. Open one hydrant (completely) at the end of the main or at a high point on
the main which is to be filled. Open a filling valve (the smallest one
available) slightly. Allow the water main to fill and slowly release the air.
When the main being tilled has released nearly all air, surging should
WATER DISTRfBUTTON- CITY OF IOWA C1IY - 02660
02/01/2013 Page 15 of 17
diminish and water released from the hydrant should flow in a steady stream.
Monitor and control the released water to minimize damage.
3. After a few minutes of steady state operation, open all other valves slowly
and then open the initial fill valve complete]V�, while regulating the flo"v
hydrant to minimize. damage. When the main has been filled, open and close
all hydrants sequentially to force fresh water progressively tbrough each
section (new and old) of water main which Nvas shut down to replace fresh
water into each section.
4. rafter clear water and a fresh chlorine odor are observed at each hydrant, shut
down hydrant flow slowly and allow water flow to cease and internal
pressure to stabilize. For water main replacement only, each water service
connection shall be tested at a sill cock and observed by the Contractor to
verify adequate pressure and [low.
B, Pressure and Leakage Tests:
1..
Conduct combined pressuree and tcakage test in accordance with
ANSFA\1 WA C600 and AN S11A\\ 1 TA C60>.
2.
Pressure test of -the hydrants or furnish and install temporary testing plugs
or caps. Furnish pressure pumps, pipe connections, meters, gauges,
equipment, potable water and labor. Lse only potable water for testing.
3.
Test after disinfection operations are successfully completed. If testing
operations require reconstruction or repairs during which the interior of the
pipe is exposed to contamination, disinfection wIl1 be required again.
4.
Keep the water main full of water for 24 hours before conducting combined
pressure and leakage test.
�.
Pressure and leakage test cousists of first raising %cater pressure at the lowest
point of section being tested to l 50 psi internal pressure.
6.
Failure to achieve and maintain the specified pressure for at least two hours
with no additional pumping means the water main has failed to pass the test.
7.
if the water main fails the pressure and leakage test, locate, uncover, and
repair or replace defective pipe, fitting orjoints. Conduct additional tests and
repairs until water main passes the rest.

D. Hydrant Operations:
1. After the hydrant has been installed and the main and hydrant have been
pressure tested, each hydrant shall be flushed and checked for proper
operation.
2. Remove a nozzle cap and open the hydrant slowly and fully. Check the
direction of opening as marked on the top. Do not force the hydrant in the
opening direction beyond full open as indicated by sudden resistance to
turning.
3. After hydrant has been flushed, close it and check for drainage. This is clone
by placing the hand over the nozzle opening and checking for a vacuum.
Then check the hose thread for proper fit.
4. Replace nozzle cap, then open hydrant again and inspect all joints for leaks.
F,. Flow'l'cst:
1. Flow tests shall be conducted to verify all components of the water system
are fully open and operational and to determine the ffre flow capacity.
2. Public Works staff personnel must be on the site to operate the system
valves and hydrants during this test.
3. A hydrant flow test may be conducted on the hydrant at the extreme
locations for distance or highest elevation to determine the fire flow
capability of the system. Static and flowing pressures and flow rates shall
be recorded, and a copy forwarded to the Water Division.

everything proceeds in a timely fashion.
2. Use only the specified amount of granular chlorine to disinfect the main.
3. Fill the line slowly until you get a trickle of water from the highest available hydrant.
Shut off the hydrant and leave the line filled.
4. No SOONER than 24 hours and no LATER than 48 hours, the first bacterial test
should be taken.
5. Contractor will take bacterial tests from all locations determined by City staff. Tests
will be taken AFTER water has been flushed to normal residual levels.
CONTRACTOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR DECHLORINATING ALL DISCHARGED
WATER. The Iowa City Water Division is available for professional guidance if the
contractor is not experienced in current dechlorination procedures.
6. Within 24 hours ANOTHER (2nd) bacterial test must be taken for EACH of the initial
tests taken. Verbal or written verification from the U of I Hygienic Lab must be
provided for the entire initial round of tests prior to undertaking this second round of
tests. VERIFICATION MUST BE PROVIDED FOR ALL BACTERIA TESTS PRIOR
TO PRESSURE TESTING — this can be in the form of a call out to the Hygienic Lab,
an email or a fax.
7. Pressure test will be performed on all new water mains. Tests are for 2 hours at
150psi. Pressurize the line no higher than 155psi to begin, A City owned pressure
gauge must be placed on the line in addition to the contractor's gauge.
8. City Engineering staff will give notice to the Water Division to locate the water main via
all of the tracer wire boxes installed by the contractor. Wire boxes must be fully
installed and placed in their final locations before a locate will be performed. The main
must trace as it will when it's put into service.
9. xFinash will be performed. At this time, the as-builts, HARD COPIES of all bacterial
tes d a fully filled out materials list, signed by the Contractor, must be turned over
W
3 9 �10. Afte�ikl flush is completed, City Engineering staff will notify the Water Division that
%e roi;�s acceptable and tapping permits can be issued. Prior to the full acceptance
% the !pb, water main punchlist items (plumbing valve boxes, setting final box
s%vations, turning hydrants, etc...) must all be completed.

2. The mandrel inspection shall be conducted no earlier than 30 days after reaching
final trench backfill grade provided, in the opinion of the Engineer, sufficient water
densification or rainfall has occurred to thoroughly settle the soil throughout the
entire trench depth. Short-term (tested 30 days after installation) deflection shall
not exceed 5% of the pipe's average inside diameter. The mandrel shall be hand
pulled by the Contractor through all sewer lines. Any sections of the sewer not
passing the mandrel test shall be uncovered and the Contractor shall replace and
recompact the embedment backfill material to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
These repaired sections shall be retested with the go/no-go mandrel until passing.
3. The Engineer shall be responsible for approving the mandrel. Proving 6V,s may be
used to assist in this. Drawings of the mandrel with complete dirriensioniEg shall be
