Public Contract Code 20111.5 - Districts will require Prime Contractors to be prequalified prior to accepting bids.

The current prequalification period is for the calendar year 2023. While there is no submittal deadline, Contractors must submit complete applications a minimum of ten (10) business days prior to the scheduled bid opening on any advertised project in order for the Contractor to qualify to submit a bid for a project in excess of $1,000,000. 

Pre-qualification approval will remain valid for one (1) calendar year from the date of notice of qualification except as noted in the pre-qualification documents. The pre-qualification process is an annual requirement, so Contractors will be required to resubmit annually.
