2.10 Responsible Contractor Verification of Compliance

Respondent acknowledges that the University has elected to voluntarily comply with

Minnesota Statutes, Section 16C.285, which sets forth minimum criteria that Respondent must meet to establish itself as a responsible contractor. “Responsible contractor” means a Respondent that conforms to the responsibility requirements in this RFP and verifies that it meets the minimum criteria set forth in Minnesota Statute, Section 16C.285, Subdivision 3 (“Minimum Criteria”). The Minimum Criteria are included in the

“Responsible Contractor Certification of Compliance” attached as Attachment G

(“Compliance Certificate”). If Respondent or any subcontractor or motor carrier does not meet the Minimum Criteria or fails to verify that it meets the Minimum Criteria, it is not a responsible contractor and is not eligible to be awarded a contract for the Project or to perform work on the Project. A false statement under oath verifying compliance with any of the Minimum Criteria shall render Respondent or a subcontractor or motor carrier that makes the false statement ineligible to be awarded a contract on the Project and may result in termination of a contract awarded to Respondent or a subcontractor or motor carrier that submits a false statement.

Respondent must submit the Compliance Certificate and “First-Tier Subcontractor List”

(University Document 00900) as evidence that it meets the Minimum Criteria. Failure to complete these submissions may result in disqualification. If Respondent is selected to be awarded a contract for the Project, Respondent shall submit a supplemental verification (University Document 00901) containing its then-complete list of first-tier subcontractors and verifying that such subcontractors meet the Minimum Criteria.

Respondent must obtain Compliance Certificates from each of its first-tier subcontractors in the forms attached as Attachment G and Attachment G-1. If Respondent retains additional subcontractors on the Project after submitting University Document 00901, mailto:compliance.mdhr@state.mn.us https://mn.gov/mdhr/certificates/construction/ https://mn.gov/mdhr/certificates/construction/ https://mn.gov/mdhr/certificates/construction/copy-of-index.jsp https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/?id=16C.285 https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/?id=16C.285 https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KFfBNUk-i23JUqYBUar7tDZDso0Jk9im/edit https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KFfBNUk-i23JUqYBUar7tDZDso0Jk9im/edit

RFP Number: 02-385-26-3720 Page 8 of 20

Respondent shall submit the “List of Additional Subcontractors” (University Document

00902) within 14 days of retaining the additional subcontractors. Respondent shall submit to the University upon request copies of the signed Compliance Certificates from all subcontractors of any tier and all motor carriers.

Respondent may be required to furnish information or evidence as requested by the

University to support or otherwise verify the statements in the Compliance Certificate(s) and verification(s). Such information shall be submitted within 3 business days of receipt of the University’s request. Failure of the Respondent to timely provide the requested information may result in the Respondent’s response being rejected.

2.11 Safety

The purpose of the safety score is to confirm that the Respondents performing the Work for the University are meeting or exceeding applicable safety, health and environmental laws, statutes, regulations, ordinances, rules, directives, and procedures.

If the Respondent currently has an active safety score with the University (available to view here), that score will be taken into account as part of the evaluation criteria noted in this RFP. Only those Respondents with a safety score of 5.0 or greater will be considered for award.

If the Respondent does NOT currently have an active safety score, they must prepare and submit their safety information per the instructions noted here. Respondent should take the noted processing time into account when submitting their safety information.

If deemed necessary, the University may request a safety score from the selected

Respondent’s subcontractor(s) prior to issuance of the Authorization to Proceed.
