PRE-QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENT: All contractors submitting bids are required to be pre- qualified by the Fort Worth Water prior to submitting bids.

(a) The financial statement required shall have been prepared by an independent certified public accountant or an independent public accountant holding a valid permit issued by an appropriate State licensing agency and shall have been so prepared as to reflect the financial status of the submitting company. This statement must be current and not more than one (1) year old. In the case that a bidding date falls within the time a new statement is being prepared, the previous statement shall be updated by proper verification. (b) For an experience record to be considered to be acceptable for a given project, it must reflect the experience of the firm seeking qualification in work of both the same nature and technical level as that of the project for which the bids are to be received. (c) The Director of the Water Department shall be the sole judge as to the acceptability for qualification to bid on any Fort Worth Water Department project. (d) Bids received in excess of the bid limit shall be considered non-responsive and will be rejected as such. (e) The City, in it's sole discretion, may reject any bid for failure to demonstrate experience and/or expertise. (f) Any proposals submitted by a non-pre-qualified bidder shall be returned unopened,and if inadvertently opened,shall not be considered. (g) The City will attempt to notify prospective bidders whose qualifications (financial or experience) are not deemed to be appropriate to the nature and/or magnitude of the project on which bids are to be received. Failure to notify shall not be a waiver of any necessary pre-qualification. 2. BID SECURITY: A cashier's check or an acceptable bidder's bond payable to the City of Fort Worth in an amount of not less than five percent (5%) of the largest possible total of the bid submitted must accompany the bid, and is subject to forfeiture in the event the successful bidder fails to execute the Contract Documents within ten (10) days after the contract has been awarded.

"Nonresident bidder" means a bidder whose principal place of business is not in the State of Texas, but excludes a contractor whose ultimate parent company or majority owner has its principal place of business in the State of Texas. 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.
