"service contracts," defined as any contract for services
in connection with a project (other than a project
contract) including but not limited to, contracts for
architectural, engineering, planning, testing, general
studies, or feasibility services.
Among other things, current public contract law requires
the CSU to furnish to each bidder a standard proposal form,
which, when filled out and executed, may be submitted as
the bid for a project. Current law prohibits the
furnishing of such a form by the CSU unless the potential
bidder has submitted a questionnaire and financial
statement for prequalification at least five days prior to
the date fixed for publicly opening sealed bids. In
addition, a contractor must have been prequalified for at
least one day prior to the opening bid date in order to
submit a bid.
This bill changes the time-frame for submission of
prequalification forms for contractors bidding on CSU
construction projects from five calendar days to ten
business days prior to bid opening.
