The City may require prequalification of bidders.
A. Upon establishment of the applicant's qualifications, the City Manager or department head shall issue a qualification statement. The statement shall inform the applicant of the project for which the qualification is valid, as well as any other conditions which may be imposed on the qualification. It shall advise the applicant to notify the City Manager or department head promptly if there has been any substantial change of conditions or circumstances which would make any statement contained in the prequalification application no longer applicable or untrue.
B. If the City Manager or department head does not qualify an applicant, written notice to the applicant is required stating the reasons the prequalification was denied and informing the applicant of the right to appeal the decision within five (5) business days after receipt of the notice. Appeals shall be made to the City Council. The City Manager or department head may, upon discovering that a prequalified party is no longer qualified, revoke prequalification by sending notification of the revocation to the party subject to the revocation. The notice shall state the reason(s) for revocation, and that the revocation will be effective immediately. (Ord. 2018-10)
