Each contractor wishing to become Pre-qualified for informal public projects for the County of Riverside (“County”) beginning January 1, 2024 must fully complete the prequalification package and provide all documents requested. The contractor’s prequalification status will remain current from the date of accepted qualification through 12/31/2024 and an acceptance letter outlining the Contractors responsibilities will be issued once the packet is reviewed and approved. Purpose : The benefits of being approved as a prequalified contractor for informal public projects is that project managers can contact companies on the approved “All Projects under $200,000” list directly for projects under $60,000 with no competitive bidding required and/or companies on the “Exclusive Small Projects” list who do projects under $25,000 directly which do not require contractor registration with the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) nor project registration or project bonds. If your company has already renewed from your 2024 prequalification status, this packet DOES NOT APPLY. Public Project is defined as: “Construction, reconstruction, erection, alteration, renovation, improvement, demolition and repair work involving any publicly owned, leased or occupied facility."
