undertake the work called for in the bid or quote The bidder shall immediately remove any subcontractor not so licensed; (9)Evidence that the contractor is utilizing a surety company which is on the United States Department of Treasury's Listing of Approved Sureties as required in the bid specifications or contract; (10) A written statement of any federal, state or local tax liens or tax delinquencies owed to any federal, state or local taxing body in the preceding three years; and, (11) A list of projects of similar size and scope of work that the bidder has performed in all areas, including the State of Indiana, within three (3) years prior to the date on which the bid is due. (b)The City reserves the right to request supplemental information from the bidder, additional verification of any information provided by the bidder, and may also conduct random inquiries of the bidder's current and prior customers. Sec. 6-64. Post-bid submissions. (a) All bidders shall collect, maintain, and provide upon request, a current written list that discloses the name, address, licensing status, and type of work for any subcontractor from whom the bidder has accepted a bid and/or intends to hire on any part of the public work project, including individuals performing work as independent contractors. (b) Each subcontractor, whose portion of the project is estimated to be at least one-hundred fifty thousand dollars($150,000.00), shall be required to adhere to the requirements of Section I of this Ordinance as though it were bidding directly to the City, except that the subcontractor shall submit the required information (including the name, address, and type of work) to the successful bidder prior to the commencement of work. (c) Failure of a subcontractor to submit the required information shall not disqualify the successful bidder from performing work on the project and shall not constitute a contractual default and/or breach by the successful bidder. However, the City may withhold all payments otherwise due for work performed by a subcontractor, until the subcontractor submits the required information and the City approves such information. (d)The disclosure of a subcontractor list("Disclosed Subcontractor(s)")to the City by a bidder shall not create any rights in the Disclosed Subcontractor(s). Thus, a bidder may substitute another subcontractor for a Disclosed Subcontractor by giving the City, upon request, written notice of the name, address, licensing status, and type of work of the substitute subcontractor. Sec. 6-65. Validity of pre-qualification classification. Upon designation by the City that a contractor's submission in anticipation of a bid is complete and timely, and upon any further consideration deemed necessary by the City, the contractor may be pre-qualified for future City public works projects. A contractor's classification as "qualified" shall exempt the contractor from the comprehensive submission requirements outlined in Section 6.63(a) of this Article for a period of twelve (12) months, excepting subsections 6.63(a)(1), (a)(4), (a)(9) and (a)(11) which shall be submitted for every bid 3
