Bidders for any Construction Project whose bid is valued at greater than $175,000 in total, and subcontractors of any tier that intend to perform work valued at over $50,000.00 shall be determined to be a ”Responsible Bidder” in accordance with the City’s Purchasing and Contracts ordinance prior to award, and must submit a Responsible Bidder Prequalification Package with their bid. Details on the entirety of this process are contained in Division D of the contract, and required forms are included in the Appendix to the contract. For this contract, the 10-day advance requirement will be waived and information may be submitted any time prior to, or with, the bid submission. Should the prime bidder identify any trades / subcontracts where they have been unable to identify a potentially responsible bidder at the time of bid submission, this should be clearly noted on the bid form, so this may be evaluated for exception if possible.

A bid bond or certified check made payable to the City of Monroe in the amount of not less than five percent (5%) of the bid must be posted by each bidder with his / her bid.
