This bill amends Section 310.18 of the Iowa Code regarding partial payments during the construction of farm-to-market roads. It clarifies that while partial payments can be made for work in progress, these payments do not signify final acceptance of the work nor do they waive any defects in the work. The bill allows for both partial and final claims to be approved by the board of supervisors, the county engineer, or the Department of Transportation (DOT), with approval being evidenced by signatures from relevant officials.

The changes include the deletion of the phrase "no such partial payment shall" and the insertion of "not" to clarify the non-final nature of partial payments. Additionally, the bill specifies that both partial and final claims can be approved, enhancing the flexibility in the payment process during construction projects. Overall, the bill aims to streamline the approval process for payments related to farm-to-market road construction while maintaining accountability for the quality of work performed.
