Iowa HF479 allows county boards of supervisors to hire firms of professional engineers as county engineers.
Iowa HF479 amends the state code to authorize county boards of supervisors to employ firms of professional engineers as county engineers. These firms must have licensed civil engineers responsible for performing the duties of the county engineer. The board must approve a bond for the entity, treating it as if it were a single licensed civil engineer. The term of employment for county engineers is set by the board and cannot exceed three years, though it can be terminated at any time. County engineers must provide a bond between $2,000 and $5,000.
