Iowa HF2399 allows public improvement contracts to be awarded to local contractors within 50 miles of the project site.

Iowa HF2399 amends the awarding process for public improvement contracts. It allows contracts to be awarded to local contractors whose bids are within 10 percent of the lowest responsive, responsible bid, provided the contractor's headquarters is within 50 miles of the project site. The bill defines "local contractor" as one whose business headquarters is located within 50 miles of the public improvement. Contracts for public utilities or extensions are exempt from this rule. The bill aims to support local businesses while ensuring competitive bidding.
