W. Va. Code R. § 157-14-3

Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 50, December 13, 2024

Section 157-14-3 - Contractor Prequalification

3.1. Contractors must be prequalified to submit a bid. To become prequalified, a contractor must submit a Contractor's Prequalification Statement. The Division uses the prequalification process to ensure bidding firms have the experience, equipment, and resources to deliver the contract work. A contractor will be issued a Certificate of Qualification, the amount of incomplete work they may have under contract at any one time, and the type of work for which they are qualified to perform. The Contractor's Prequalification Statement is available on the Department's website.

3.2. The Department will only accept bids from contractors who are prequalified and eligible to bid. A contractor may request approval to bid in excess of the allotted amount as noted by the Certificate of Qualification. The Department has the discretion to make decisions on the bidder's requests which it deems are in the best interest of the State of West Virginia.
