			 bidders who wish to become prequalified must apply and follow the application
			 procedures set forth herein. Prequalification applications must be received at
			 ODOT's address shown in the prequalification application at least 10 calendar
			 days before the bid opening in which the applicant wishes to

			 desiring to prequalify shall complete and submit the prequalification
			 application, in accordance with the directions contained therein, setting forth
			 their qualifications to satisfactorily carry out the work to be performed.
			 Applicants must sign a sworn affidavit that the information they provide in the
			 prequalification application is true.
(3) If an applicant fails to complete the
			 application as required, ODOT will return the material submitted. Any changes
			 or additional information required by ODOT must be submitted and signed by a
			 person authorized to sign the original application. The changes and additional
			 information must be attested to by a sworn affidavit. The applicant may send a
			 new application that includes the changes or additional information required by
			 ODOT.
(4) The date on which all
			 required information has been received by ODOT as required will be considered
			 the receipt date of the prequalification application.
(5) Each member of a joint venture must be
			 prequalified, with at least one of the joint venture members prequalified in
			 each of the project's designated class(es) of work as defined in section (1) of
			 this rule. A joint venture may be required to submit a joint venture agreement
			 prior to award of the contract.
(6)
			 Subcontractors are not required to be, but may be, prequalified.
(7) Any applicant for prequalification who
			 willfully makes, or causes to be made, any false, deceptive or fraudulent
			 statements in any questionnaire or statement required to be submitted under
			 this rule, shall be denied prequalification (or the applicant's current
			 prequalification shall be revoked).
(8) Applicants must renew their
			 prequalifications as directed by ODOT's prequalification application
			 procedures.

			 update their prequalification application with ODOT when information changes.

			 to bid opening if that information affects the bid submitted. Any changes
			 requested by the applicant must be submitted and signed by a person authorized
			 to sign the original application. The changes must be attested to by sworn
			 affidavit. There is no charge to update an existing prequalification for minor
			 changes such as changing an address, or adding or deleting class(es) of work.
			 Major changes must be submitted by a new prequalification
			 application.
(10) Sections (1)
			 through (9) of this rule also apply to applicants who use ODOT's
