2.
INSPECTION
SUBSTITUTION:
This criteria can be substituted with a City approved schedule for inspection of the
project by a licensed engineer with a civil or structural background. The costs of this

construction drawings, and standard City specifications for installation of all public
facilities within the jurisdiction of the City of Grants Pass. The Contractor has the

DISQUALIFICATIONS AND
RESTRICTIONS:
A Contractor may be disqualified or restricted from working on projects
involving the construction of public facilities if it is found that the Contractor,
or any other agent or employee, fails to meet, or has misrepresented the
Contractor’s compliance with, the City’s prequalification requirements.
1. HEARING: When a Contractor is alleged to be in violation or non-compliance with any of
the prequalification requirements, a hearing will be held by the Community
Development Director, or a designee as hearings officer, to review the violation
or non-compliance. A notice of the hearing, and a brief statement of the
allegation, shall be mailed to the last known address of the Contractor no less

allegation, and to provide evidence to refute or mitigate the allegation. The

for a specified period of time based upon the seriousness of the violation or
non-compliance. Disqualification or restriction imposed for a first offense shall
be no longer than twelve months. Subsequent disqualifications or restrictions
may exceed twelve months, but shall not exceed twenty-four months. A period
of disqualification may be followed by a period of restrictions so long as the
total period does not exceed the above stated time limitations.
3. RESTRICTIONS: When the hearings officer determines that a violation or non-compliance with
the City’s prequalification requirements should result in restrictions instead of
disqualification, the hearings officer shall state the reasons for mitigation in the
decision. A restriction may include the imposition of additional conditions and
requirements, including but not limited to, providing a civil or structural
engineer to provide full-time inspections of construction, said costs being
the responsibility of the Contractor.

INSTRUCTIONS
Introductory Statement:
In accordance with the statutes of the State of Oregon, every public contracting agency contemplating receiving bids
for, and awarding any contract for, a public improvement may require any prospective bidder to submit a full and
complete statement concerning his/her equipment and experience in constructing public improvements.
The application and questionnaire forms, which are bound herewith, comply with the requirements of public contracting
rules and must be used in determining the qualifications of prospective bidders and in assigning limits as to the size and
kinds of projects for which the prospective bidder may submit bids. The applicant should use care and integrity in
preparing this information. The public contracting agency may make independent inquiries concerning the Contractor’s
past performance and/or capabilities.
Manner of Preparing and Completing Forms:
This application shall include equipment and experience information for only the specific single business, organization,
or entity which is applying for prequalification, and which would be the signatory on a contract with the public
contracting agency.
It shall be the responsibility of the applicant to return all pages, whether applicable or not. Failure to do so may be
grounds for rejection.
The entire application shall be completed, with all answers and entries specific and complete in detail.
The prequalification application shall be signed by the applicant and sworn to as the form indicates. The signatory of the
statement guarantees the truth and accuracy of all statements, and of all answers to questions.
Use of Attachments:
Schedules, reports, and other forms of prequalification statement may be used as attachments to the prescribed form,
provided that the information contained therein specifically includes the information required by this form.
Place of Submission:
Prequalification applications shall be submitted to the designated officer or public contracting agency.
Time of Submission:
Each Public Contracting Agency may have specific time requirements for filing applications. The applicant should check
with the designated officer of the applicable agency for submission time.
Appeal Due to Denial or Revocation of Prequalification:
In case a Contractor’s application for prequalification is denied, or in case an existing prequalification is revoked, the
Contractor may appeal the denial or revocation in accordance with the rules adopted by the Department of
Administrative Services, or the appropriate local contract review board.

Revised 02/2017
Notification of Action Taken:
The applicant will be notified, in writing, of the action on the application. If approved, the applicant will then be allowed
to bid on such projects as are within the limits of the size and kind of work for which he/she has been declared qualified.
Period During Which a Qualified Bidder Remains Qualified:
A prospective bidder, who has been notified of prequalification for projects of a given size and kind, will usually remain
qualified until the date specified in the notification. The public contracting agency may limit prequalification approval to
individual public improvement projects. Unless such bidder is otherwise notified by the public body, he/she will be
permitted to submit bids for any and all projects of said kind and size for which bids are to be received. The public body
may, from time to time, require new or revised action on an application. A prequalification may be revoked under
the provisions of ORS 279.039.
Changes:
Requests for revision of the prequalification standing of any prospective bidder will be considered whenever the bidder
can make a showing of materially improved ability, but not more often than once in three months. Each such request
must be accompanied by a new prequalification application.
With or without a request from the prequalified bidder, the prequalification limitation on class of work or size of project
may be reviewed and increased or decreased as found appropriate. The prequalified prospective bidder will be notified
in writing of any such revision.
Confidential Information:
The information furnished in the prequalification application will be treated as confidential information if so requested
by the applicant. If so requested in item 12 of the application, contents of the application will not be disclosed to the
public, except upon the written order of the person or persons furnishing the same, or upon an appropriate order of a
court of competent jurisdiction.
Joint Venture:
A public contracting agency may adopt special requirements concerning joint ventures. Before submitting a joint
venture application, a prospective bidder should ascertain if special instructions are applicable, and obtain them from
the designated public officer.
Minority Contractors:
Do not fill in item 8 of the application unless required by the public contracting agency.
