About this file
This is a Minimum Qualifications for Award form (IBWC Form 245) issued by the International Boundary & Water Commission for contractor eligibility determination on federal construction projects.
The form requires contractors to meet mandatory qualification criteria, with any "No" answer resulting in disqualification. Contractors must demonstrate: (1) a minimum of 5 years of experience on similar construction projects within the last 15 years; (2) prior experience as a prime contractor with the Federal Government on similar projects within the last 10 years with a direct federal agency contract; (3) a minimum of 5 years of experience installing vinyl-type immersion coatings within the last 10 years; and (4) experience with specialized scaffolding, manlifts, or ropes access work. Two additional qualifications are evaluated but do not disqualify: experience with lead-based paint removal and a Dun & Bradstreet PAYDEX score of 65 or greater (or equivalent Experian Business Credit Score). The form defines magnitude as dollar amount, scope as technical requirements, and complexity as work difficulty. Contractors must provide IBWC Form 245B backup documentation for each project supporting affirmative answers, and a D&B or Experian credit report dated within 30 days. If any experience is claimed through subcontractors for questions 1-4, the subcontractor must provide supporting documentation and a signed statement certifying their work scope and non-substitution. Contractors certify the accuracy of their responses and commit to providing additional backup information within 24 hours if requested by the Contracting Officer; failure to provide requested information results in ineligibility for award.

Complexity refers to difficulty of performing work due to many varied interrelated parts.
Similar in magnitude refers to projects priced at 85% of your bid and above.
Similar in scope refers to the same type of work with comparable or greater quantities.
Concrete flatwork including, but not limited to, slabs, sidewalks, parking lots, curbs, and roads is NOT similar in scope to structural concrete.
➢ Complete IBWC Form 245B-Backup Information for each project which supports your 'yes' answers above.
➢ Provide a printout of a D&B report OR an Experian report that is less than 30 days old.
If any 'yes' answer is based upon a subcontractor's experience, said subcontractor shall provide IBWC Form 245B- Backup Information to support the answer. Contractor shall also provide a signed statement explaining exactly what work they will perform along with a certification that said subcontractor will be used for this project and will not be substituted for another entity. D&B scores are only based upon the Contractor; a subcontractor cannot meet this requirement.
I certify that my answers to these questions are true and correct.
If additional backup information is required by the Contracting Officer to further aide in determining responsibility in accordance with the general standards under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 9.104-1, I certify I will be able to submit that information within twenty-four (24) hours of the request.
If backup information is not provided when requested by the Contracting Officer or if information fails to support the answer provided, the Bidder will be found to be ineligible for award.
