Iowa City University Rejects Low Bid For Old Capitol Work
The University of Iowa rejected Tricon Construction Group’s low bid of 1.47 million for phase one of the Old Capitol restoration, choosing Knutson Construction’s 1.63 million bid after reviewing qualifications. Officials cited specialized work and experience with National Register buildings as key factors and noted Knutson’s pre-bid conference participation. The contract falls under the state Board of Regents due to cost.
