Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
The standard questionnaire and financial statement shall be
				prepared and transmitted to the secretary, Attn: Contract advertisement and
				award office. The questionnaire shall include the following information:
(1) The contractor's name, address, phone
			 number, facsimile number, email address, and type of organization (corporation,
			 partnership, sole proprietorship, etc.).
(2) A list of the classes of work for which
			 the contractor seeks qualification.
(3) A statement of the ownership of the firm
			 and, if a corporation, the name of the parent corporation, if any, and the
			 names of any affiliated or subsidiary companies.
(4) A certificate of authority from the
			 office of the secretary of state to do business in Washington state if the
			 applicant is an out-of-state corporation.
(5) A list of officials within the applicant
			 firm who are also affiliated with other firms involved in construction work as
			 a contractor, subcontractor, supplier, or consultant; including the name of the
			 firm and their relationship with the affiliate firm.
(6) A complete list of the highest valued
			 contracts or subcontracts performed in whole or in part within the immediate
			 three years preceding application. The contract amount, contract number, date
			 of completion, class of work; and the name, mailing address, email address, and
			 phone number of the project owner or agency representative must be provided for
			 those projects listed. Only that work completed by the contractor's own
			 organization under its own supervision will be considered for prequalification
			 purposes. A minimum of five completed projects must be listed.
(7) Personnel requirements.
(a) A listing of the principal officers and
			 key employees indicating their years of experience in the classes of work for
			 which pre-qualification is sought. For qualification in a class of work based
			 on newly acquired personnel rather than the firm's past contract experience,
			 the newly acquired personnel must be available for future employment for the
			 full year for which qualification is sought unless replacement personnel have
			 been approved. The loss of such personnel during the year of qualification,
			 will result in revocation of qualification for the class of work granted
			 pursuant to their acquisition. The department may require resumes of such
			 personnel as deemed proper for making its determination. The firm's performance
			 on department contracts must be currently rated standard or better to be used
			 for qualification purposes.
(b) A
			 firm must have, within its own organization, qualified permanent, full time
			 personnel having the skills and experience including, if applicable, technical
			 or specialty licenses, for each work class for which prequalification is
			 sought. Those firms seeking qualification for electrical work (classes 9 and
			 16) must provide photocopies of current Washington state electrical licenses.
			 The skills and experience must be substantiated by education and practical
			 experience on completed construction projects.
(c) "Its own organization" shall be construed
			 to include only the contractor's permanent, full time employed office and site
			 supervisory personnel as shown on the most recently submitted or amended
			 prequalification questionnaire. Workers of the organization shall be employed
			 and paid directly by the prime contractor. The term "its own organization,"
			 shall also include the equipment owned or rented by the contractor with or
			 without equipment operators. Such term does not include employees or equipment
			 of another contractor, subcontractor, assignee, or agent of the applicant
			 contractor although they are placed on the applicant contractor's
			 payroll.
