S-1 RESPONSIBLE CONTRACTOR In accordance with Laws of Minnesota, 2014, chapter 253 (Minnesota Statutes §16C.285), Bidders are hereby advised that the Department cannot award a construction contract in excess of$50,000 unless the contractor is a "responsible contractor" as defined in Minnesota Statutes §16C.285, subdivision 3. A bidder submitting a Proposal for this Project must verify that it meets the minimum criteria specified in Minnesota Statutes §16C.285, subdivision 3, by completing the Responsible Contractor Certificate within this Proposal. Statements in the certificate must be certified by a company officer. Bidders are responsible for obtaining verifications of compliance from all subcontractors, using a form provided by the Department. A bidder must submit signed verifications from subcontractors upon the Department's request. A Bidder or subcontractor who does not meet the minimum criteria established in Minnesota Statutes §16C.285, subdivision 3, or who fails to verify compliance with the minimum requirements, will not be a "responsible contractor" and will be ineligible to be awarded the Contract for this Project or to work on this Project. Bidders and subcontractors are also advised that making a false statement verifying compliance with any of the minimum criteria will render the Bidder or subcontractor ineligible to be awarded a construction contract for this Project and may result in the termination of a contract awarded to a Bidder or subcontractor that makes a false statement.
