Additional Criteria for Bidder Responsibility

On Thursday, January 10, 2008, the Capital Projects Advisory Review Board (CPARB) adopted two additional supplemental bidder responsibility criteria for optional use by public agencies in Washington state. One deals with lawsuits and the other with prevailing wages. The criteria will eventually be added to the Suggested Guidelines for Bidder Responsibility published on CPARB's website. There are still a couple of other criteria that the task force I chair is working on: one dealing with safety and the other with wage and hour violations.

Let me know if you have any questions about how supplemental bidder responsibility criteria should be used on public works projects.
