The Capital Development Board welcomes new firms and encourages
construction businesses to consider state construction work,
whether as prime contractors, subcontractors or suppliers.
Although firms that are "subcontractors" or "suppliers"
(those contracting through a "prime" contractor)
need not be prequalified, CDB encourages subcontractors
to become prequalified to bid on projects within their bonding
capacity.
Any firm interested in competitively bidding on a project
with the Capital Development Board must be prequalified a
prime contractor by 5:00 p.m. the day prior to bidding.
Minority-
and female-owned firms should be registered/certified with
the Illinois
Department of Central Management Services or certified
with the Illinois
Department of Transportation.
Firms interested in becoming prequalified must complete the
Contractor/Bidder
Prequalification Application. Please allow at least 30
days for processing the application.
General contractors shall perform the work at a site employing
not less than 20 percent of their own forces. Mechanical/Electrical
and other types of "prime" contractors shall perform
the work with not less than 40 percent of their own forces.
New firms will be prequalified for one year. Upon renewal,
most firms will receive a three-year prequalification. Firms
that have been found not to be responsible may be denied prequalification
or given limitations on bidding.
CORPORATIONS -
A condition of CDB prequalification requires that corporations
be classified as being "in good standing" with the
Illinois Secretary of State (SoS) when prequalification is granted
and at the time of contract award. Corporations are reminded
that it is their responsibility to maintain this active status
so that contract awards are not delayed. Failure to provide
timely proof of good standing may result in rejection. Inquiries
should be directed to the Secretary of State's Corporation Division
at 217/782-6961.
