Basis of Rating

Electrical Contractors and Subcontractors

Request for Prequalification

11/16/2020

EBMUD will provide a pass/fail score for each contractor based on responses to questions

contained in the attached questionnaire. EBMUD reserves the right to check other sources

available and contact listed references. EBMUD’s decision will be based on objective evaluation

criteria.

Contractor must demonstrate ability to perform installation work in accordance with the

California Electrical Code (CEC) and in a neat and workmanlike manner in accordance with

National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) Standards.

See Section 4 – Basis of Determination and Appendix B – Contractor Prequalification Scoring for

additional information on scoring criteria.

Prequalification Approval

Prequalification approval will be valid for one calendar year after the date of Contractor

notification. However, EBMUD reserves the right to adjust, limit, suspend or rescind the

prequalification rating based on subsequently learned information. Prequalified Contractors whose

rating changes sufficiently to disqualify them will be notified and given an opportunity to appeal a

prequalification rating consistent with the appeal procedures described below.

The intent of the prequalification questionnaire and documents is to allow the District to identify

qualified contractors prior to contract award to aid EBMUD in selecting the lowest responsive,

responsible bidder. Neither the fact of prequalification nor any prequalification rating will

preclude EBMUD from a post-bid consideration and determination of whether a bidder or its

subcontractors have the quality, fitness, capacity and experience to satisfactorily perform the

proposed work.

Submission of Prequalification Package

If submitting during the initial prequalification period, the submittal must be received by Wednesday

4:00PM, December 30, 2020.

Contractors may submit an application at any time after the initial prequalification period. However,

if submitting for a specific EBMUD project, the submittal must be received at least 21 calendar

days before the initial bid opening date. EBMUD will make its best efforts to review the

completed submittal upon receipt, but makes no guarantee a determination will be made in time for

bid submittal on the specified project. See the Instructions to Bidders of the specific project for more

information.

See Section 1 – Instructions for Prequalification Submittals for detailed submission instructions.

Each questionnaire must be signed under penalty of perjury by an individual who has the legal

authority to bind the contractor on whose behalf that person is signing. If any information

provided by a contractor becomes inaccurate, the contractor must immediately notify EBMUD

and provide updated accurate information in writing, under penalty of perjury.

EBMUD reserves the right to waive minor irregularities and omissions in the information

contained in the prequalification application submitted, to determine at any time that the

prequalification procedures will not be applied to a specific future public works project, and to

make all final determinations.
