Instructions to Bidders Effective: May 1, 2026

For Washington State Facility Construction and Small Works

Approved by: _____________________

Kimberly Sockle, Assistant Director

INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS

FOR WASHINGTON STATE FACILITY CONSTRUCTION AND SMALL WORKS

PART 0 – GENERAL CONDITIONS

0.00 EXPLANATION TO PROSPECTIVE BIDDERS

A. In accordance with RCW 39.04.380 effective March 30, 2012, the State of Washington is enforcing a Reciprocal Preference for Resident Contractors. Any public works bid received from a nonresident contractor from a state that provides an in-state percentage bidding preference, a comparable percentage disadvantage must be applied to the bid of that nonresident contractor.

A nonresident contractor from a state that provides a percentage bid preference means a contractor that:

1. Is from a state that provides a percentage bid preference to its resident contractors bidding on public works contracts.

2. At the time of bidding on a public works project, does not have a physical office located in

Washington.

The state of residence for a nonresident contractor is the state in which the contractor was incorporated or, if not a corporation, the state where the contractor's business entity was formed.

All nonresident contractors will be evaluated for out-of-state Bidder preference. If the state of the nonresident contractor provides an in-state contractor preference, a comparable percentage disadvantage will be applied to their bid prior to contract award.

This section does not apply to public works procured pursuant to RCW 39.04.155, 39.04.280, or any other procurement exempt from competitive bidding.

B. Any prospective Bidder desiring an explanation or interpretation of the solicitation, drawings, specifications, etc., must submit a request in writing to the Architect/Engineer (A/E) eight (8) business days before the bid due date or by logging into the DES Public Procurement Portal (https://deswa.bonfirehub.com) and submitting a vendor discussion. Oral explanations or instructions given before the award of a contract will not be binding. Any information given a prospective Bidder concerning a solicitation will be furnished promptly to all other prospective Bidders by addendum to the solicitation if that information is necessary in submitting bids or if the lack of it would be prejudicial to other prospective Bidders.

C. In accordance with the legislative findings and policies set forth in RCW 39.19 the State of

Washington encourages participation in all of its contracts by MWBE firms certified by the Office of Minority and Women’s Business Enterprises (OMWBE). Participation may be either on a direct basis in response to this invitation or as a subcontractor to a Bidder. However, unless required by federal statutes, regulations, grants, or contract terms referenced in the contract documents, no preference will be included in the evaluation of bids, no minimum level of MWBE participation shall be required as a condition for receiving an award, and bids will not be rejected or considered non-responsive on that basis. Any affirmative action requirements set forth in federal regulations or statutes included or referenced in the contract documents will apply.

D. The State of Washington encourages participation in all of its contracts by Veteran-owned businesses (defined in RCW 43.60A.010) and located at:

http://www.dva.wa.gov/program/certified-veteran-and-servicemember-owned-businesses and Small, Mini and Micro businesses (defined in RCW 39.26.010) which have registered in WEBS at https://pr-webs-vendor.des.wa.gov/ and DES diversity compliance program B2Gnow.

1. In order to report payment detail, the Contractor must create an account in the DES Public https://deswa.bonfirehub.com/ http://www.dva.wa.gov/program/certified-veteran-and-servicemember-owned-businesses https://pr-webs-vendor.des.wa.gov/ https://des.diversitycompliance.com/

Works Diversity Tracking & Management System powered by B2GNow or verify if an account has already been created on behalf of the Contractor: https://des.diversitycompliance.com.

(a) Payments received by the prime contractor from the Agency.

(b) Payments paid to each first tier subcontractor.

(c) Payments paid to each first tier supplier.

4. The Contractor must also ensure the following information is reported in the DES Public Works

Diversity Tracking & Management System by first tier subcontractors and suppliers for the duration of the contract:

(a) Confirmation of payments from the prime contractor to the subcontractor.

(b) Payment reporting to each supplier.

E. In accordance with RCW 39.04.320, for all public works estimated to cost one million dollars or more, the State of Washington requires no less than 15% of the labor hours be performed by apprentices, unless otherwise stated in the bid advertisement or on the Submittal Questionnaire/Bidding Terms and Conditions. A contractor or subcontractor may not be required to exceed the 15% requirement. On applicable projects, the Bidder shall establish in the DES

Public Procurement Portal and the Submittal Questionnaire/Bidding Terms and Conditions a minimum required percentage of apprentice labor hours compared to the total labor hours. The project’s apprenticeship utilization rate is calculated using the approved affidavits from the L&I portal.

Apprenticeship Requirements are not required for Small Works Projects estimated under $350K.

1. Incentives - The Contractor who meets or exceeds this utilization requirement on eligible contracts, will be awarded a monetary incentive described in the Apprentice Utilization Requirements of section 10.12 of the General Conditions.

2. Penalties - The Contractor who fails to meet the utilization requirement and fails to demonstrate a Good Faith Effort, as outlined below, is subject to penalties described in the Apprentice Utilization Requirements section in section 10.12 of the General Conditions.

Contractor will receive an invoice payable to the Owner within 30 days. The contractor will have 30 days to pay the penalty invoice at the time of receipt before the penalty is considered outstanding. Contractors with outstanding apprenticeship penalties may be considered non-responsive.

3. Cost Value - The expected cost value associated with meeting the goal is included in the

Base Bid as described in section 10.12 of the General Conditions.

4. Utilization Plan - The Contractor shall provide an Apprentice Utilization Plan (Plan) demonstrating how and when they intend to achieve the Apprenticeship Utilization Requirement. The Plan shall have enough information to track the Contractor’s progress in meeting the utilization requirement. The Contractor shall submit the Plan on the Apprentice Utilization Plan template (on the DES Public Works Forms website) within 10 business days of Notice to Proceed of the contract and prior to submitting the first invoice. The Contractor shall provide an updated Plan during the course of construction when there are significant changes to the Plan which may affect their ability to meet the requirement.

(a) The Plan shall be uploaded to the Department of Labor & Industries’ (L&I)

Prevailing Wage Intents and Affidavit (PWIA) system on L&I’s website.

(b) The Plan is not submitted for approval.

(c) It is expected that the Contractor will actively seek out opportunities to meet the

Apprentice Utilization Requirement during construction even if the Plan indicates a shortfall in meeting the requirement.

(d) If the Plan indicates that the Contractor will not attain the Apprentice Utilization

Requirement, then Contractor must submit “Good Faith Effort” (GFE) documentation with their Plan to L&I’s PWIA system.

5. Good Faith Effort (GFE)

(a) Good Faith Effort (GFE) documentation shall describe in detail why the Contractor is not or was not able to attain the Apprentice Utilization Requirement.

1. Contractors may submit Good Faith Effort (GFE) documentation at any time during the construction.

2. All GFE documentation must be submitted no later than 30 days before substantial completion.

(b) Good Faith Effort (GFE) documentation must be in signed letter format uploaded to the

PWIA system and include:

1. The contract number, title, and the apprentice utilization requirements.

2. The amount of apprentice labor hours the contract can or did attain along with the percentage of labor hours.

3. Contractors may receive a GFE credit for graduated Apprentice hours through the end of the calendar year for all projects worked on as long as the Apprentice remains continuously employed with the same Contractor they were working for when they graduated. If an Apprentice graduates during employment on a project of significant duration, they may be counted towards a GFE credit for up to one year after their graduation or until the end of the project (whichever comes first). Determination of whether or not Contract requirements were met in good faith will be made by subtracting the hours from the journeyman total reported hours for the project and adding them to the apprentice hour total. If the new utilization percentage meets the Contract requirement, the Contractor will be reported as meeting the requirement in good faith.

4. Anticipated or actual shortfall (in apprentice labor hours and percentage) and the reason(s) for not attaining the required apprentice labor hours.

5. Information from one or more of the following areas:

(a) Names of any State-Approved Apprentice Training Programs contacted with the name(s) of person(s) contacted and dates of contacts, and a copy of each response from the Training Program(s).

(b) Reference Contract Specifications or documents that affected the Contractor’s ability to attain apprentice utilization.

(c) Discuss efforts the Contractor has taken to require Subcontractors to solicit and employ apprentices.

6. Backup documentation to the letter consisting of the following:

(a) Letters, emails, phone logs including names dates and outcomes, posters, photos, payrolls, timecards, schedules, copies or references to other contract specifications or documents.
