Respondents must be prequalified with the Trustees at least one day before the SOQ due date and submit online prequalification applications no less than ten business days before that deadline.

All contractors and subcontractors must be registered with the California Department of Industrial Relations, and work is subject to prevailing wage law. Proposers must also sign and submit a Skilled and Trained Workforce Agreement under Public Contract Code Section 2600 with their SOQ to be considered responsive.
