The informal bidding procedures are not actually a lot different from typical bidding requirements. The main difference is that agencies can send notices of bidding opportunities only to the contractors which are on their Contractor Lists. If disfavored contractors have not asked to be on the lists, they may not hear about the projects. Each November, agencies must publish notices informing contractors that they are preparing their contractor lists and must include all appropriately-licensed contractors who submit requests. Existing lists can be abandoned and new lists started each January.
Contractors are to be added to lists any time throughout the year when they submit requests.
