2-00 45 11 Bidders Prequalifications.doc

This is a Bidders Prequalification specification document for the City of Fort Worth's 2026 CDBG Campbell Street Improvement Project (City Project No. 107033). The project involves approximately 2,500 linear feet of 7-inch curb and gutter, 3,800 square feet of 6-inch concrete driveway, 12,000 square feet of 4-inch concrete sidewalk, 4,700 square yards of 3-inch asphalt pavement (Superpave SP-D), 4,700 square yards of 11-inch pavement pulverization, 76 tons of cemlime, and 18 barrier-free ADA ramps. Bidders and their designated subcontractors must be prequalified or have applied for prequalification by the City prior to submitting bids. Prequalification applications must be submitted seven (7) days prior to the bid opening date; for example, applications for bids opening on April 7th must be filed by March 31st. Bidders who fail to meet prequalification requirements at bid opening may have their bids rejected.

The prequalification process establishes a bid limit based on technical evaluation and financial analysis. Applicants must submit audited or reviewed financial statements (including classified balance sheet, income statement, statement of cash flows, statement of retained earnings, and notes), certified organizational documents, a completed prequalification application, the firm's Texas Taxpayer Identification Number, DUNS number, email and fax contact information, and resumes reflecting construction experience of firm principals for initial applicants. Financial statements must be from an independent certified public accounting firm registered with the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy, prepared in U.S. dollars, no more than one year old, and must reflect positive net working capital. Bidding capacity is determined by multiplying positive net working capital by a factor of 10. Applicants must also provide a minimum of five references related to the work and an equipment schedule detailing equipment under contractor control. The City reserves the right to reject, suspend, or modify any prequalification for failure to demonstrate acceptable financial ability or performance.
