Instructions for First-Tier Subcontractor Disclosure

Without regard to the amount of a Bidder's Bid, if the Agency's cost range for a public improvement project in the "Notice to Contractors", or in other advertisement or solicitation documents is greater than

$100,000, bidders are required to disclose information about first-tier subcontractors that will furnish labor or labor and materials (See ORS 279C.370). Specifically, when the contract amount of a first-tier subcontractor is greater than or equal to: (1) 5% of the total project Bid, but at least $15,000, or (2)

$350,000 regardless of the percentage of the total project Bid, you must disclose the following information about that subcontractor not later than two working hours after the time set for opening Bids:

• The name of the subcontractor

• The category of work that the subcontractor will be performing

• The dollar amount of the subcontract

If the Agency's cost range is greater than $100,000 and you will not be using any first-tier subcontractors, you are still required to submit the form, with the appropriate box checked or enter "NONE" on the first line.

If the Agency's cost range is greater than $100,000 and you are not subject to the above disclosure requirements, you are still required to submit the form, with the appropriate box checked or enter

"NONE" on the first line.

THE AGENCY MUST REJECT BIDS if the Bidder fails to submit the disclosure form with this information by the stated deadline.

To determine disclosure requirements, the Agency recommends that you disclose subcontract information for any subcontractor as follows:

1) Determine the lowest possible prime contract price. That will be the base Bid amount less all alternate deductive Bid amounts (exclusive of any options that can only be exercised after Bid award).

11 | P a g e

2) Provide the required disclosure information for any first-tier subcontractor whose potential contract services are greater than or equal to: (1) 5% of the lowest contract price, but at least $15,000, or (2)

$350,000 regardless of the percentage. Total all possible work for each subcontractor in making this determination, (for example, if a subcontractor will provide $15,000 worth of services on the base Bid and

$40,000 on an additive alternate, then the potential amount of the subcontractor’s services is $55,000.

Assuming that $55,000 exceeds 5% of the lowest contract price, provide the disclosure for both the

$15,000 services and the $40,000 services).
