SPECIAL PROVISIONS - SP20I6 BOOK Last Revision by CO Special Provisions: 2/08/17 DIVISION S S-1 CONTACT INFORMATION Created August 20, 2015 Page 3 SP 0202-101 Direct questions about this Project, including pre -bid questions, to Kevin Kielb, P.E., Bolton & Menk, Inc. at 651-968-7760. S-2 EOUAL PAY The Department cannot execute a contract in excess of $500,000 with a business that has 40 or more employees on a single day during the prior 12 months in this state or a state where the business has its primary place of business, unless the business has an equal pay certificate or has certified in the Electronic Bid File that the business is exempt. Bidders may find more information on the Equal Pay Certificate Requirement at Minnesota Statutes Section 363A.44 or at this website: htta://mn.aov/mdhr/compliance/eaual nay.html S-3 RESPONSIBLE CONTRACTOR The Department cannot award a construction contract in excess of $50,000 unless the bidder is a "responsible contractor" as defined in Minnesota Statutes §16C.285, subdivision 3. A bidder must verify it meets the minimum criteria detailed in the law. A bidder must submit its verification electronically by completing the "Responsible Contractor" section in the "Officers and Acknowledgements" Folder within the Electronic Bid File. A company officer must certify statements in that section. Bidders only need to complete the electronic verification; DO NOT email, fax, or send paper forms to the Department. The Department will not accept emailed, faxed or other paper submissions and will only accept electronic verifications. A bidder must obtain a verification from each subcontractor it will have a direct contractual relationship with. At the Department's request, a bidder must submit signed subcontractor verifications. A contractor or subcontractor must obtain an annual verification from each motor carrier it has a direct contractual relationship with. A motor carrier must give immediate written notice if it no longer meets the minimum responsible contractor criteria. The requirement for subcontractor verifications does not apply to: • Design professionals licensed under Minnesota Statutes §326.06; and • A business or person that supplies materials, equipment, or supplies to a subcontractor on the Project, including performing delivering and unloading services in connection with the supply of materials, equipment, and supplies. But, a business or person must submit a verification if it delivers mineral aggregate such as sand, gravel, or stone that will be incorporated into the Work by depositing the material substantially in place, directly or through spreaders, from the transporting vehicle. A bidder or subcontractor who does not meet the minimum criteria specified in the statute, or who fails to verify compliance with the criteria, is not a "responsible contractor" and is ineligible to be awarded the Contract for this Project or to work on this Project. Submitting a false verification makes the bidder or subcontractor ineligible to be awarded a construction contract for this Project. Additionally, submitting a false statement may lead to contract termination. If only one bidder submits a bid, the Department may, but is not required to, award a contract even if that bidder does not meet the minimum criteria.
