This one-time special project -specific process will pre -qualify potential bidders whose bids will be considered for award based upon the financial statement and experience.

It is the bidder's responsibility to submit documentation for those items listed below, to the Water Depai tunent's designated representative, at least fourteen (14) calendar days prior to the date of bid opening. The Water Depaitunent may request any other documents it may deem necessary.

This provision does not apply if this contract involves Federal funds. The appropriate blanks of the Proposal must be filled out by all nonresident bidders in order for the bid to meet specifications.
