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.

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 bids are to be
received.
c) The Director of the Water Department shall be the sole judge as to the
acceptability for financial 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-prequalified 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 prequalification.
