Illinois Administrative Code › Title 44 - GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS, GRANTMAKING, PROCUREMENT AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT › Part 650 - PREQUALIFICATION OF CONTRACTORS, AUTHORIZATION TO BID, AND SUBCONTRACTOR REGISTRATION › Subpart A - PREQUALIFICATION › Section 650.180 - Balance Sheet Schedules

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
In order to provide for the determination of ratings in as
				  objective a manner as possible, the Department has established specific
				  evaluations and classifications for a number of financial rating items. The
				  value attached to the affected financial rating items shall be calculated by
				  decreasing its face value by the discount established in this Part for that
				  item. Where a valuation or classification materially affects an applicant's
				  financial rating, and insufficient information has been submitted, the
				  Department may ask for clarification or substantiation of a classification made
				  by the accountant in preparing the statement. If schedules in the format
				  established in the "Contractor's Statement of Experience and Financial
				  Condition" are not completed, the maximum discounts will be applied. The
				  various financial rating items and their corresponding discounts are delineated
				  as follows:
a) Current Assets
1) Schedule A - Cash
Cash includes currency, personal checks, bank drafts, money
				  orders, cashiers checks and money on deposit with banks. The Department
				  classifies cash as a current asset and attaches no discount, provided:
A) Deposits made for a sole proprietorship
				are held in the name of either the proprietor solely, or jointly with the
				proprietor's spouse.
B) Deposits
				made for a partnership are held either in the name of any of the general
				partners, or in the name of the partnership.
C) Deposits made for a corporation are held
				in the name of the corporation only.
D) Deposits are free of debt or obligation.
				Certificates of deposits and other cash assets that are pledged will be
				discounted by the amount of debt or obligation.
E) For a firm in an unaudited status, a
				financial release must be submitted by the firm's bank to verify balances as of
				the balance sheet date.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 44 - GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS, GRANTMAKING, PROCUREMENT AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT › Part 650 - PREQUALIFICATION OF CONTRACTORS, AUTHORIZATION TO BID, AND SUBCONTRACTOR REGISTRATION › Subpart A - PREQUALIFICATION › Section 650.190 - Other Factors Considered in Determining Financial Ratings

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) Notes and Accounts
1) Long term notes and accounts payable to
				stockholders, officers, directors, employees, parent, subsidiaries and
				affiliates will not be considered a liability if subordinated. A subordination
				is not permitted if it takes place more than one year from the date of the
				financial statement. Long term notes that are not subordinated will be
				considered as current liabilities. Subordinations that are not honored will not
				be considered on subsequent financial statements.
2) Long term notes (that are in the company's
				name) payable to banks or other financial institutions when secured by the
				personal assets of the owners, officers or directors will be considered as
				additional working capital if properly subordinated. If not subordinated, they
				will be considered as liabilities against current assets.
3) Notes payable due within one year from the
				financial statement date are considered current liabilities. Installments on
				notes due beyond one year are considered deferred liabilities.
4) When notes payable are secured by all
				assets of a firm, the amount of the loan is deducted from the value of fixed
				assets (against equipment first, then real estate) in determining the financial
				rating. No excess of encumbrance will be charged against working capital. When
				notes payable are unsecured, there will be no deductions from the value of
				fixed assets with the exception of Section
				650.180(a)(1)(D).
5) The reduction of long term notes before
				their due date will cause a reduction in the computed financial rating. In the
				event of long term debt reduction, the contractor shall furnish in writing the
				details of the transaction. This information shall be verified by a certified
				public accountant for those contractor's who have an audited status.
6) Any long term unsecured notes payable
				shall be accompanied by a signed statement from the lending agency and the
				contractor indicating that a decrease in the unsecured borrowing shall be
				reported to the Department immediately. In addition, the contractor shall
				provide a copy of the loan agreement that shall disclose the date of the loan,
				the termination date, the terms of payment, a statement that the loan is free
				of conditions and whether it is interest or noninterest bearing. Any unsecured
				note payable not accompanied by such a statement and loan agreement shall be
				considered a current liability for prequalification rating purposes.

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) Personal assets of stockholders, officers,
				directors, members, partners, beneficiaries or employees may not be pledged to
				improve the financial rating of the contractor seeking
				prequalification.
b) Assets of
				another company may not be pledged to improve the financial rating of the
				contractor seeking prequalification.
c) Loans which are renegotiated and involve
				the time frame or the encumbrance of assets of the company may be reconsidered.
				Only loans which total in excess of $100,000 will be considered. A copy of the
				new loan agreement is required.
d)
				Subsequent efforts to increase capitalization or to otherwise increase a
				financial rating which take place more than one year from the date of the
				financial statement will not be permitted to improve the financial rating of a
				company. Only subsequent efforts that are made within one year from the date of
				the financial statement which the Department considers material will be used to
				increase financial ratings.

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
The work rating measures the applicant's capability to
				  perform work in specific categories. A complete list of categories currently
				  available is contained in Section 650.Appendix A of this
				  Part.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 44 - GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS, GRANTMAKING, PROCUREMENT AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT › Part 650 - PREQUALIFICATION OF CONTRACTORS, AUTHORIZATION TO BID, AND SUBCONTRACTOR REGISTRATION › Subpart A - PREQUALIFICATION › Section 650.230 - Determination of Work Ratings

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) The work rating is expressed as the dollar
				value of work of a particular category that the applicant can perform with its
				own organization and facilities in one construction season. The Work Rating
				(WR) is determined using the following factors:
1) The Performance Factor (PF);
2) The Experience Factor (EF);
3) The Equipment Factor (EqF); and
4) The Capacity to Perform (CP).
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 44 - GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS, GRANTMAKING, PROCUREMENT AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT › Part 650 - PREQUALIFICATION OF CONTRACTORS, AUTHORIZATION TO BID, AND SUBCONTRACTOR REGISTRATION › Subpart A - PREQUALIFICATION › Section 650.240 - Performance Factor (PF)

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a)
				The Performance Factor is a numerical value which is determined by the
				contractor's performance evaluation in a work category during the previous
				year. At the close of each construction season, the Department, other State
				agencies or authorities using contractors based on the prequalification
				decisions of the Department and officials of a unit of local government
				administering a contract approved for award by the Department will evaluate
				each contractor who performed work for them during the previous year either as
				a prime contractor or as a subcontractor. This information is submitted on the
				Contractor's Annual Performance Report (BC-1777), and will be held confidential
				from disclosure in accordance with Section 7(1)(a) of the Freedom of
				Information Act [5 ILCS
				140/7(1)(a) ]. The performance
				evaluations are based on:
1) The quality of
				work performed for each work category defined in Section 650.Appendix A of this
				Part.
2) The overall execution of
				work as measured by evaluating six categories.
A) Organization and prosecution of the
				work;
B) Cooperation with public
				agency personnel responsible for contract administration and
				inspection;
C) Traffic control and
				site protection as provided by contract requirements;
D) Compliance with EEO and labor
				requirements;
E) Erosion Control;
				and
F) Contractor's ability to meet
				the Quality Control/Quality Assurance (QC/QA) plan as provided by contract
				requirements for materials production/construction quality control.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 44 - GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS, GRANTMAKING, PROCUREMENT AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT › Part 650 - PREQUALIFICATION OF CONTRACTORS, AUTHORIZATION TO BID, AND SUBCONTRACTOR REGISTRATION › Subpart A - PREQUALIFICATION › Section 650.250 - Experience Factor (EF)

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a)
				The Experience Factor is the cumulative dollar value of work performed in a
				given work category by the applicant's own forces. To be given credit for this
				experience, the work must have been performed either for the Department or
				other entity the Department considers to be a source of valid and verifiable
				information. The experience is the total experience of the applicant as a
				continuously operating entity. Credit will not be given for work performed as
				an owner or employee of another firm. Applicants will receive incremental
				credit for successfully completed work in a work category even though the
				contract is not completed.
b) To
				accurately evaluate an applicant's experience, the following shall be provided
				for each project.
1) The project owner's
				name, address (City and State) and phone number.
2) The dollar value of work performed for
				each work category within the project.
3) The year the work was performed.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 44 - GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS, GRANTMAKING, PROCUREMENT AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT › Part 650 - PREQUALIFICATION OF CONTRACTORS, AUTHORIZATION TO BID, AND SUBCONTRACTOR REGISTRATION › Subpart A - PREQUALIFICATION › Section 650.260 - Equipment Factor (EqF)

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a)
				Work categories which require the applicant to have specific equipment and
				plant facilities are indicated in Appendix A. Determination of work ratings in
				these categories requires the calculation of an Equipment Factor which measures
				the physical productive capacity of the applicant's equipment and facilities.
				Equipment Factors are based on standards which produce an average dollar value
				of productivity as set forth in Appendix A. The Department may adjust the
				standards as necessary to reflect increases in construction costs. The word
				"equipment" used in this Section includes all machines, tools and plant
				facilities.
b) In calculating
				Equipment Factors, the Department will consider:
1) Equipment owned outright.
2) Rented equipment. Confirmation of rented
				equipment available for use by the lessee shall be by submittal of a signed and
				notarized affidavit. No credit will be given for rented equipment not available
				to establish an equipment factor. Applicants shall submit a copy of the rental
				agreement, which must contain the following:
A) Time period.
B) Make, model, year, serial number and size
				or capacity of the equipment.
C)
				Monetary consideration.
D)
				Signature of the lessee and lessor.

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a)
				The Capacity to Perform represents the annual dollar value of work completed by
				an applicant that is related to the category of work for which a rating is
				requested. The work must have been performed for the Department or other entity
				the Department considers to be a source of valid and verifiable information.
				The performance of the applicant must be that as a continuous operating entity.
				Credit will not be given for work performed as an owner or employee of another
				firm.
b) The Capacity to Perform is
				the average of the three highest volume years in the last ten years. If a new
				applicant does not have three years of experience or if there is an increase in
				the volume of work performed, the Department will use a value that does not
				exceed the highest volume year as the capacity to perform.

				  contracts advertised in the Transportation Procurement Bulletin. Anyone may
				  obtain proposal forms and plans regardless of prequalification status. An
				  Authorization to Bid must be granted in accordance with this Part before a
				  prequalified contractor may submit a bid, unless prequalification is
				  waived.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 44 - GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS, GRANTMAKING, PROCUREMENT AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT › Part 650 - PREQUALIFICATION OF CONTRACTORS, AUTHORIZATION TO BID, AND SUBCONTRACTOR REGISTRATION › Subpart B - AUTHORIZATION TO BID › Section 650.310 - Affidavit of Availability

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) An
				Affidavit of Availability (Form BC-57) is attached to the Transportation
				Bulletin and must be submitted with a request for Authorizations to Bid. It is
				a sworn statement concerning the contractor's present and pending contract
				commitments. The contractor shall not omit or misrepresent its work
				outstanding. When the contractor has uncompleted or pending work as a party of
				a joint venture, the contractor's responsible portion of the work shall be
				shown. The affidavit shall be signed by an officer or director of a corporate
				contractor, and otherwise, an owner shall sign. The affidavit is not required
				when Authorization to Bid is not being requested. The affidavit shall include:
1) The amount of all uncompleted work, by
				type, either as a principal or subcontractor together with the name of the
				agency under whose jurisdiction the work is being performed. All uncompleted
				work shall be based upon the engineer's or owner's most recent
				estimate.
2) The commitment of
				equipment and personnel on a payroll or rental basis even though no formal
				contract exists.
3) All work on
				which the contractor is the low bidder and which has not yet been
				awarded.
4) A listing of all
				subcontractors and the value of work sublet.

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) Section 50-35(h) of the Illinois
				Procurement Code [30
				ILCS 500/50-35(h) ] requires that all
				bids of more than $50,000 be accompanied by disclosure of all current or
				pending contracts, proposals, leases, or other ongoing procurement
				relationships the contractor has with any other unit of State
				government.
b) The Department
				provides the form for making the required disclosure of other procurement
				relationships with the Invitation for Bids in the Transportation Procurement
				Bulletin.
c) Contractors submitting
				an Affidavit of Availability with a request for Authorization to Bid may
				incorporate by reference on this disclosure form the contents of the Affidavit
				of Availability that are responsive to the disclosure requirement. Procurement
				relationships that are not included in the Affidavit of Availability shall be
				disclosed on the form.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 44 - GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS, GRANTMAKING, PROCUREMENT AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT › Part 650 - PREQUALIFICATION OF CONTRACTORS, AUTHORIZATION TO BID, AND SUBCONTRACTOR REGISTRATION › Subpart B - AUTHORIZATION TO BID › Section 650.320 - Analyzing Requests for Authorization to Bid

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) In analyzing a contractor's request for
				Authorization to Bid, it is necessary to determine the contractor's available
				bidding capacity.
1) The total value of all
				uncompleted work awarded to the contractor, as shown on the Affidavit of
				Availability, is deducted from the financial rating shown on the Certificate of
				Eligibility. The result is the Available Financial Rating.
2) The value of each type of work uncompleted
				and included in pending low bids the contractor will perform with its own
				forces as a prime or subcontractor, as shown on the Affidavit of Availability,
				is deducted from the corresponding category of work rating shown on the
				Certificate of Eligibility. The result is the Available Work Rating in each
				category. If a contractor has a work rating designated for "Illinois Work
				Only," then only Illinois work is deducted from the corresponding category of
				work rating; however, all work must be shown on the affidavit to determine the
				Available Financial Rating.
3) When
				the proposed work requires more than one construction season (18 months or 168
				working days) to complete, the work ratings shown on the Certificate of
				Eligibility are multiplied by the number of construction seasons required for
				completion. The Available Work Rating is then determined as stated in
				subsection (a)(2) of this Section. Similar consideration is given to work
				reported on the Affidavit of Availability. Each work category of a project is
				divided by the number of construction seasons to complete the project. The
				Available Work Rating is then determined as stated in subsection (a)(2) of this
				Section.
4) Contractors who have
				ratings in major work categories are given credit for work in applicable minor
				work categories. For example, a contractor with a rating in Portland Cement
				Concrete Paving or Structures is given credit for work in the minor work
				category of Concrete Construction. The work category definitions in Appendix A
				of this Part will indicate if a minor work category is applicable. Credit given
				for a minor work category is deducted from the contractor's available rating in
				the corresponding major work category.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 44 - GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS, GRANTMAKING, PROCUREMENT AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT › Part 650 - PREQUALIFICATION OF CONTRACTORS, AUTHORIZATION TO BID, AND SUBCONTRACTOR REGISTRATION › Subpart B - AUTHORIZATION TO BID › Section 650.330 - Issuance of Authorization to Bid

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) There is no limit to the number of
				Authorizations to Bid issued a contractor as long as the available bidding
				capacity satisfies the requirements of each individual contract. If the
				contractor is the low bidder on two or more contracts and the sum of the bids
				exceeds the available bidding capacity, the Department will select the contract
				or contracts for award.
b)
				Authorization to Bid will not be issued on documentation received after 4:30
				p.m. prevailing time on the cut-off date indicated in the Transportation
				Bulletin. In addition, any request to be removed from the bidder's list or to
				dissolve a joint venture must be received prior to the time indicated in the
				previous statement.
c) Under
				certain circumstances, the Department may issue Authorization to Bid to a firm
				without restriction based on available bidding capacity. To be considered for
				unrestricted authorization, the contractor must satisfy either of the following
				conditions, must not be behind the approved contract progress schedule on any
				current contract, and must be rated not less than 6.0 in the performance factor
				calculation. (See Section
				650.240
				of this Part.)
1) A financial rating of $300
				million.
2) A financial rating of
				at least $150 million or a Department calculated net worth of at least $40
				million, either in conjunction with two or more work ratings calculated to
				equal or exceed $50 million each.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 44 - GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS, GRANTMAKING, PROCUREMENT AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT › Part 650 - PREQUALIFICATION OF CONTRACTORS, AUTHORIZATION TO BID, AND SUBCONTRACTOR REGISTRATION › Subpart B - AUTHORIZATION TO BID › Section 650.340 - Joint Ventures

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a)
				Prequalified contractors may combine their available bidding capacity and
				request an Authorization to Bid for a single contract to bid as a joint venture
				after Department approval.
b) Each
				request for approval of a joint venture shall be indicated by the filing of a
				Certificate of Joint Venture for each of the contracts for which joint venture
				approval is sought. The form is available from the Prequalification Section. It
				identifies the managing partner and indicates the joint venture agreement shall
				be available to the Department for inspection. In addition, each joint venture
				partner firm shall submit an Affidavit of Availability. The Certificate must be
				received no later than 4:30 p.m. prevailing time at least seven days prior to
				the scheduled date of the letting for which bidding proposals are
				sought.
c) The proposed joint
				venture shall not be approved for the issuance of bidding proposals if the
				establishment of a joint venture would unduly restrict competition. A
				determination that a proposed joint venture would unduly restrict competition
				is limited to any of the following reasons:
1)
				That the proposed joint venture would consist of more than three prequalified
				contractors unless the project is designated by the Department in the
				advertisement for bids as open for unrestricted joint venturing due to the
				magnitude, complexity and risks of the work.
2) That for letting items estimated by the
				Department to be bid at less than $1,000,000, more than one of the proposed
				joint venture partners has the individual prequalification ratings and bid
				capacity to bid the item without the approval of the venture. This
				determination shall not apply to joint ventures between affiliated contractors
				based upon 51 percent or more common controlling ownership or common management
				where the officers, directors or general partners control the board of
				directors and/or management of each contractor.

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
The Department will not issue Authorization to Bid for any of
				  the following reasons:
a) The
				contractor is not prequalified under the provisions of this Part.
b) The contractor will not be prequalified on
				the day of the scheduled letting which is the subject of the Request for
				Authorization to Bid.
c) The
				contractor has uncompleted work on previously awarded contracts which, in the
				judgment of the Department, might hinder or prevent the prompt completion of
				additional work if awarded.
d) The
				contractor has provided false information on a bidder's Affidavit of
				Availability or has not promptly notified the Department of subsequent awarded
				contracts or pending awards.
e) The
				contractor has failed to submit final documentation on any open contract or to
				pay, or satisfactorily settle, all bills due for labor and material on
				previously awarded contracts in force at the time of issuance of proposal
				forms.
f) The contractor has failed
				to comply with this Part or the bidding procedures of the Department.
g) The contractor has defaulted or otherwise
				breached its obligations on Department awarded contracts or contracts approved
				for award by the Department; has failed to execute an awarded contract; or has
				caused the readvertisement of a project through mistakes or neglect in the
				bidding procedures.
h) When any
				agent, servant, employee, associated organization, affiliate or related entity
				of the contractor has participated in the preparation of plans, specifications
				or special provisions for the proposed work.
i) The contractor is subject to revocation of
				prequalification ratings in accordance with Section
				650.110
				of this Part or revision of prequalification ratings in accordance with Section
				650.130 of
				this Part.
