*Any contractor that has prequalified with the DISTRICT in accordance with Public Contract

Code section 20111.6 within the past twelve (12) months may satisfy the prequalification

requirements for this project if its earlier Prequalification Questionnaire package was approved

for the same or appropriate license requirement, and the contractor’s total base bid and alternates

amount for this Project does not exceed their prequalified bid amount which is equal to fifty

percent (50%) of the contractors bonding capacity. Bidders are solely responsible to verify with

the DISTRICT whether they are properly prequalified to submit a bid for this Project.

prequalified MEP subcontractors will be made available by the DISTRICT to all bidders at least

five business days prior to the bid opening date.

If a contractor has been prequalified, they are discouraged from

renewing their prequalification status between March 1, 2024 and March 8, 2024.

An attempt to renew during this period, will remove the contractor from the approved list of prequalified contractors.

A contractor’s bid for the Creekside Education Center (CEC) Nutrition Services
