CONTRACTOR SPECIAL PREQUALIFICATION
Contractor Special Prequalification Overview
Contractor Special Prequalifications may be required in addition to the mandatory General Prequalification (also known as Prime Contractor Prequalification) when the elements of a particular public improvement project require specialized knowledge and/or expertise.  When special prequalification is required, notice of the Request for Contractor Special Prequalification will be through ODOT's website and in the Daily Journal of Commerce for projects with an estimated cost over $125,000. 
 
Qualifications are submitted by contractors prior to bid opening; an evaluation committee determines pass/fail results; and the contract award is by low bid. Only contractors with a passing submittal will be specially prequalified and allowed to submit a bid on the project.
 
The Contractor Special Prequalification qualifies the prime contractor, but only for the team submitted, including subcontractors and individuals who were used to meet the Contractor Special Prequalification requirements. The contractor team used to meet the requirements, and only that team as a whole, is prequalified. Prime contractors may not select subcontractors that were listed on other teams if not included in their own team. Therefore, any subcontractors or individuals who were used to enable the contractor to meet the prequalification requirements will be required to perform those functions in the performance of work on the proposed project if that prime contractor is awarded the contract for the project. 
 
The contractor must demonstrate experience and commit to the availability of key, skilled personnel necessary to complete the entire scope of work required for the project.  Submittals that do not comply with the criteria identified in the instructions will be considered to have failed and the submitting contractor will not become prequalified and will be ineligible to submit a bid.
 
After the evaluation committee has reviewed the submittals, ODOT will notify all applicants of the status of their Contractor Special Prequalification Submittal. A standard Notice to Contractors will be issued prior to the bid opening and only approved contractor’s can submit a bid for the project.
 
In addition to passing the Contractor Special Prequalification, the contractor must also meet the Prime Contractor Prequalification requirements. To be eligible to bid, Prime Contractor Prequalification applications must be received complete and correct at least ten calendar days prior to the first anticipated bid opening date.
