CUPCCAA & Prequalification of Contractors

Prequalification of Contractors and Subcontractors

Effective January 1, 2014, Public Contract Code 20111.6 requires all general contractors and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) subcontractors utilizing any of the following licenses on a Public Works project valued at $1 million or more — and funded in whole or in part with State Facility Bond funds — to be prequalified with the District:

■  General Contractors (A and B)

■  Subcontractors (C-4, C-7, C-10, C-16, C-20, C-34, C-36, C-38, C-42, C-43, and C-46)

Contractors and subcontractors must submit a complete prequalification questionnaire through pqbids.com/elrancho-usd no later than 10 business days prior to the bid opening. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to ensure all subcontractors are prequalified prior to bid opening. Prequalification approvals remain valid for one (1) calendar year from the date of approval.

The District also requires prequalification for CUPCCAA projects.
