ISU utilizes an electronic planning room for all public works and construction projects. Updates on current and future projects, including bidding opportunities, are regularly posted.

Click the “Planning Room” blue button on the left for current & future bidding opportunities.

Primes and Subcontractors can look at the construction specifications at no charge. Downloading the specifications is $5.00. The Planning Room allows Prime and Subcontractors to view who has downloaded the specifications to better enable Prime and Subcontractors partnering.
