CONTRACTOR’S PERFORMANCE POLICY

RESOLUTION NO. (1992) -790

A RESOLUTION TO REGULATE THE PARTICIPATION IN THE CITY CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS BY

CONTRACTORS WHO MAY NOT BE CAPABLE OF TIMELY AND PROPER COMPLETION OF CITY

PROJECTS.

WHEREAS, The City of Raleigh wishes to minimize cost and inconvenience to the citizenry caused by the failure of contractors to complete projects in a timely manner in accordance with approved project schedules; and Whereas, North Carolina law allows cities to award bids to responsible bidders and the inability to complete work on time is one indication of a lack of responsibility.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RALEIGHL

Section 1. That the City Manager may disqualify bidders from participation in bidding and award of contracts for city construction projects based on the following conditions existing simultaneously:

A. The dollar value of the work completed is less than the dollar value of the work which should have been completed on the basis of the contractor’s approved progress schedule by more than twenty percent of the current contract amount. The dollar amount of the work completed will be the total estimate to date shown in the latest partial pay estimate. The current contract amount will be the contract estimate plus accumulated overruns and less accumulated underruns shown in the latest partial payment estimate.

B. The percentage of the work completed is less than the percentage of contract time elapsed on the work by more than twenty percent. The percentage or work completed will be the dollar value of the work completed as defined above divided by the current contract amount as defined above. The percentage of contract time elapsed will be the number of calendar days elapsed as shown in the latest partial pay estimate divided by the total contract time in calendar days.

Section 2. The City manager shall not include any late days, which are caused by the City in any of his calculations directed at determining bid status.

Section 3. All City construction project specifications shall contain a specific provision clearly outlining the policies set in this Resolution, including the criteria for determining whether a contractor is behind schedule, and the specifications shall clearly state the City’s intent to enforce the provisions of this Resolution.

Section 4. The terms of the Resolution shall apply only to contracts for which the specifications for bidders are issued after the effective date of this Resolution.

Section 5. Any contractor who wishes to contest the decision of the City Manager declaring ineligibility may appeal to the City Council by delivering a notice of appeal to the City Clerk no later than ten days after receipt of the City Manager’s decision. The notice of appeal shall clearly set out the reasons why the Contractor believes that the terms of this Resolution have been inappropriately applied or the equitable arguments for not applying this Resolution’s terms. When considering an appeal the City Council shall consider, among other things, the report of the City Manager, the notice of appeal, and the contractor’s current status on any other current City Contracts and its performance on any contracts to which the contractor and the City have been parties to within the two calendar years immediately preceding the filing of the notice of appeal.

Section 6. Bidders so disqualified shall remain disqualified for any period in which they are still in conflict with the schedule provisions of this section.

Section 7. This Resolution is effective upon adoption Adopted 10/6/92.
