In compliance with G.S. 143-135.8, on December 2, 2014, the City Council adopted the City of Raleigh Policy for Prequalification of Bidders for Construction Projects. The following schedule and procedures shall be utilized for prequalification of first tier subcontractors. Pursuant to the statute, the prequalification form gathers information about the subcontractors seeking to qualify for the work and provides a general format for the prequalification criteria. This advertisement is for subcontractor prequalification only, not for submission or receipt of bids. Completing this questionnaire does not guarantee prequalification. Bid Package references, identified scopes of work and budgets are set forth for the prequalification process and project interest only, and are not final. Final bid packages will be issued at the time the advertisement to bid is sent to prequalified subcontractors. In determining subcontractor's qualifications, the following shall be considered: (1) financial strength and capacity; (2) prior performance, with particular concern and emphasis given to adherence to schedule, quality of work, experience on projects of similar character, complexity and cost, and claims/disputes history; (3) past experience with the Owner, the Construction Manager, the designer and other subcontractors, including, claims, disputes, arbitration or litigation involving any one or more of those parties. Completing this questionnaire does not guarantee prequalification. To be considered for prequalification, a firm must score a minimum of 70% of the available points indicated. Completion of this questionnaire, together with completion of Construction Manager's own prequalification materials are conditions to consideration for pre-qualification. Value represents total project cost.
