Certified checks or credit union certified share drafts shall bear an endorsement signed by a responsible official of such bank or credit union as to the amount certified. Cashiers checks, money orders or bank drafts shall be made payable either to the contracting authority or bidder; and, where made payable to the bidder, shall contain an unqualified endorsement to the contracting authority signed by the bidder or the bidders authorized agent.

On all projects without DBE goals, the contractor must show that affirmative action has been made to seek out and consider DBEs as potential subcontractors.

L. 87-581, Aug. 13, 1962, 75 Stat.357) and implementing regulations. The Iowa Dot reserves the right to waive technicalities and reject any or all bids.
