The chief procurement officer is hereby authorized to prequalify contractors as the exclusive responsible bidders for: i) roof repair, ii) building demolition, iii) board-up work, or (iv) emergency bridge or viaduct repair based on such contractors’ responses to a request for qualifications ("R.F.Q.") which has been publicly advertised and issued by the chief procurement officer for the respective type of work. Any such R.F.Q. shall specify those criteria that the chief procurement officer deems necessary to determine whether respondents are qualified to perform the type of work addressed by the R.F.Q. Such criteria may include the respondent’s financial capability, experience, past performance, adequacy of equipment, ability to perform the work on a timely basis, and other pertinent considerations. The R.F.Q. shall also set forth terms and conditions which will govern the performance of any work which may be awarded to a respondent who becomes prequalified as a responsible bidder.
Respondents shall have at least 20 calendar days from the date of issuance of the R.F.Q. to submit their responses to the chief procurement officer. The chief procurement officer shall publicly advertise any material addenda to the R.F.Q. and respondents shall have at least ten calendar days thereafter to submit their responses to the chief procurement officer.
