Quality workmanship, efficient operation, safety, and timely completion of projects requires that all bidders meet certain minimum requirements to be responsive and responsible bidders. THIS FORM MUST BE SUBMITTED WITH YOUR BID. "THIS FORM ONLY APPLIES TO BIDS GREATER THAN $250,000. " INSTRUCTIONS: If you are a pre -qualified bidder, complete Section I only. If you are not a pre -qualified bidder, complete Section II only. Section II acts as an application for pre -qualification. Submission of Section II will allow the bidder to be considered for pre -qualification for bids with the City of South Bend Department of Public Works. Pre - qualified bidders will then be exempt from a portion of the submission requirements outlined in Section 6- 71 of The Responsible Bidding Ordinance No. 10975-23 (hereinafter, "Responsible Bidding Ordinance") for a period of twelve (12) months. Thereafter, contractors who are pre -qualified must submit a complete application for continuation of "pre - qualified" standing, on a form provided by the City ("Responsible Bidder Checklist (1) Pre -Qualified Bidders") within twelve (12) months of obtaining pre -qualified standing. If the status of any item changes within the twelve (12) months, it is the responsibility of the contractor to notify the City. Failure by any pre - qualified contractor to submit its complete application for continuation of "pre -qualified" standing within the time prescribed above shall result in automatic removal of the designation, effective immediately following the twelve (12) months of pre -qualified standing. However, the "removed" contractor or subcontractor shall still be permitted to bid on City public works projects, though the contractor must submit all required documents under 6-71 until "pre -qualified" status is re-established. Please Note: 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 previous customers regardless of pre -qualified standing. It is the sole responsibility of the potential bidder to comply with all submission requirements applicable to the bidder in Section 6-71 of the Responsible Bidding Ordinance no later than the date of the public bid opening. Version 5/20/2024 General Conditions - 11 POST BID SUBMISSIONS: Post -bid submissions must be submitted in accordance with Section 6-72 of the Responsible Bidding Ordinance. The post -bid submission requirements are as follows.- 1 . 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. 2. Each subcontractor, whose portion of the project is estimated to be at least two -hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000.00), shall be required to adhere to the requirements of Section I of the Responsible Bidder 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. 3. 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 payment otherwise due for work performed by a subcontractor, until the subcontractor submits the required information and the City approves such information. 4. 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. 5. The successful bidder for projects greater than $250,000 and all subcontractors performing work greater than $250,000 on a public works project are required to submit certified payroll utilizing the federal form known as WH-347 or a similar form on a bi-weekly basis, submitted within 10 days after the end of each bi-weekly payroll period.
