All pre-qualification submissions will be treated as confidential.
The Awarding Authority reserves the right to reject any pre-qualification submission which is not responsive or where the acceptance of such submission would not be in the best interest of the Awarding Authority. The responsiveness of the submission will be determined by the completeness and accuracy of the submission. An incomplete submission will delay and possibly eliminate consideration of that applicant's submission. The pre-qualification of contractors does not imply that any bid submitted by a pre-qualified contractor automatically qualifies that bid as a "competitive," "responsible," or "satisfactory" bid.

The attention of bidders is called to the provisions of State Law Governing General Contractors, as set forth in Title 34, Chapter 8, Article 1, Code of Alabama of 1975, as amended; and the provisions of said law shall govern bidders insofar as applicable. The above-mentioned provisions of the Code make it illegal for the Owner to consider a bid from anyone who is not properly licensed under such code provisions. In addition, bidders must carry the Specialty Construction-Environmental classification as listed in the latest edition of the Roster of the State Licensing Board for General Contractors, Montgomery, Alabama. The Owner, therefore, will not consider any bid unless the bidder produces evidence that he is so licensed. Neither will the Owner enter a Contract with a foreign corporation which is not qualified under State Law to do business in the State of Alabama.
The attention of nonresident bidders is called to the provisions of Alabama Law, Title 39, Chapter 3, Code of Alabama 1975, as amended, relating to preference to be given to resident contractors in Alabama over nonresident contractors in the award of contracts in the same manner and to the same extent as provided by the laws of the state of domicile of the nonresident contactor, and to the requirements that the bid documents tendered by any nonresident contractor must be accompanied by "a written opinion of an attorney-at-law licensed to practice law in such nonresident contractor's state of domicile as to the preference, in any or none, granted by the law of that state to its own business entities whose principal places of business are in that state in the letting of any or all public contracts".
Each Bidder, and each Subcontractor, is required to complete and submit Document 00450 – Affidavit of Immigration Compliance along with their E-Verify Program Memorandum of Understanding at the time of the Bid. No Contract will be awarded to any Bidder who does not submit the required Immigration Compliance documents.
