Public Contract Code Section 20101 the County of Riverside ("County") invites qualified contractors to complete and submit a Prequalification Questionnaire and other required documents for the purpose of prequalifying, based on financial ability and public contracting experience. This prequalification process is a mandatory process for all Licensed Contractors who intend to submit bids for Construction Projects to be issued by the County of Riverside for a period of one year (12 months) following issuance of Notice of Prequalification. It is the County's intent to utilize contractors prequalified through this solicitation process to bid on contracts under the Job Order Contracting (JOC) project delivery method, which is characterized as small to medium maintenance, renovation, or reoccurring work other than new construction. However, the County reserves the right to require a separate prequalification process for any work whenever the County makes a determination that the work requires certain higher level of resources and/or specialized experience and qualifications ("Specialized Work"). A Contractor who is prequalified hereunder shall not be prequalified for this Specialized Work unless that Contractor prequalifies under that separate prequalification process. This Job Order Contracting prequalification is intended for general contractors performing work as a Prime Contractor under a "B" license. Contracting firms holding multiple licenses are eligible to submit an application under a "B" license; contingent upon contractor's demonstrated experience as a "B" licensed Contractor responsible for the prime contract for the entire project with portions of the work having been assigned to subcontractors. All Contractors bidding on contracts for Job Order Contracting (herein referred as "Work") for the County must be prequalified in order to submit bids for award for General County Facility Renovation, which is inclusive of health and public safety facilities. It is mandatory that all Licensed Contractors who intend to submit bids for Work encompassed within this prequalification process must: (1) fully complete the Prequalification Questionnaire, (2) provide all materials requested herein, and (3) be approved by the County prior to submitting bids on future Work. No bid will be accepted from a Contractor that has failed to comply with these requirements. Contractor must be prequalified, as demonstrated by the County's Notice of Prequalification, prior to the closing of bidding for any Work. Failure to obtain prequalification by bid closing shall bar Contractor from the submission of its bid on the Work. Contractors who submit a complete prequalification package will be notified by electronic mail of their qualification status, such notice to be provided following completion of the County's evaluation of the information submitted by Contractor, unless additional information, interview or lead personnel, or an on-site evaluation is requested of the applicant. All Prequalification Questionnaires and other information required by the Instructions to be submitted by Applicants ("Prequalification Submittals") shall be prepared in conformance with the Instructions using the forms referenced therein or attached thereto. No electronic submittals will be accepted in lieu of hard copy SOQs. The Applicant assumes full and sole responsibility for timely receipt of its completed Prequalification Submittal at the location noted above. Interpretations, corrections, and changes by the County of the Prequalification Documents will be made by Prequalification Addenda. Interpretations, corrections, and changes to the Prequalification Documents made in any other manner shall not be relied upon by Applicants and will not be binding upon the County. It is the obligation of the Applicant to verify issuance of Notice by the County of a Prequalification Addenda by checking County's electronically County will seek to distribute such Notices to Applicants via email or addresses as provided by Applicant. Failure of an Applicant to receive a Prequalification Addendum shall not entitle the Applicant to an extension of the Prequalification Schedule nor shall it permit the submission of any additional prequalification information after the deadline for receipt of the Prequalification Submittal set forth in the Prequalification Schedule.
