LEGAL NOTICE
NOTICE INVITING INTERESTED CONTRACTORS FOR THE INFORMAL BID LIST
FOR SONOMA VALLEY HEALTH CARE DISTRICT
The Sonoma Valley Health Care District ("District") has adopted the California Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act and invites all interested licensed contractors to submit their company for inclusion on the District's Informal Bidding Contractors List for each respective calendar year.  NOTE: Companies must resubmit each year.
 
Per California Public Contract Code 22032, any Public Works Project that is estimated to be below $200,000 is subject to the Informal Bidding Procedures set forth by the State of California Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Commission. All trade categories are subject to Informal Bidding Procedures. Contractors that are interested in being on the Informal Bidding Contractors List are required to have a current license and are subject to verification through the Contractors State License Board.
 
Additionally, pursuant to SB 854, no contractor or subcontractor may be listed on a bid or awarded a contract for a public works project unless registered with the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) and meet the requirements of California Labor Code section 1725.5.  Contractors must maintain valid registration with DIR throughout the current year and must provide proof of current DIR registration when bidding on any District project. Even if a contractor is placed on the Qualified Contractor List, the contractor cannot perform any work on any District project without a current and valid DIR registration.  Contractor shall be solely responsible for ensuring compliance with Labor Code section 1725.5.
 
If you or your company would like to be placed on the District's Informal Bidding Contractors List, please complete the District's informal bidding prequalification questionnaire below.  If the District determines any information provided on an application is incorrect, incomplete, or false, the District may either reject the application or remove an already admitted contractor from the Qualified List at any time. Once placed on the Qualified List, all contractors are responsible for informing the District immediately if any information provided on the Qualified List has changed and may be subject to removal for failure to timely notify the District.
 
If you need additional information regarding the prequalification questionnaire, you can direct questions via e-mail to engadmin@svh.com.
