Prequalifications
It is required that once a year, information must be submitted under notarization (RCW 54.04.085) by which the Commission of a Public Utility District can prequalify potential bidders on electrical work for the District. The present District policy is to update all applications every two years, with an affidavit and a Contractor’s Safety questionnaire between the two years.
The District updates its contractor’s prequalified roster every January for designation as a prequalified bidder for electric work, which may include distribution, transmission, substation, area and street lighting, tree trimming and wood pole inspection. This establishes a roster of contractors from which future projects may be bid.
The selection process for contractor’s prequalification starts October 1st of each year; an application review and reference checks process is done through a Committee at the District. All applications must be returned by October 31st to be considered for the new upcoming year. The selected roster is then sent to the District’s first Commission meeting in December for approval.
Interested contractors may obtain an application packet by contracting Procurement at cp@bentonpud.org.
Benton PUD updates its small works roster every January for public work projects under three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000.00). Projects may consist of backhoe or landscaping work, roads, facilities and building repair, electric and electrical distribution construction projects, and janitorial.
Interested vendors must register your company with MRSC Rosters. If you are already registered, just add Benton PUD to your listing. If you have any questions on the roster, please contact MRSC Rosters at 206-625-1300 or mrscrosters@mrsc.org.
