QUALIFICATIONS OF BIDDERS A Bidder's failure to submit required qualification information within the times indicated may disqualify Bidder from receiving an award of the Contract. No requirement to submit information will prejudice the right of Owner to seek additional pertinent information regarding Bidder's qualifications. 5.1 RESPONSIBLE CONTRACTOR The successful bidder must be a "responsible contractor." The term "responsible contractor" means a contractor as defined in Minnesota Statutes, section 16C.285, subdivision 3. Any prime contractor, subcontractor, or motor carrier that does not meet the minimum criteria or fails to comply with the verification requirements is not a responsible contractor and is not eligible to be awarded a construction contract for the project or to perform work on the project. A prime contractor, subcontractor, or motor carrier that makes a false statement under oath verifying compliance with the minimum criteria will be ineligible to be awarded a construction contract on the project, and the submission of a false statement may result in termination of a contract awarded to a prime contractor, subcontractor, or motor carrier that submits the false statement. A prime contractor shall include in its verification of compliance a list of all of its first -tier subcontractors that it intends to retain for work on the project. Before execution of a construction contract, a prime contractor shall submit a supplemental verification under oath confirming that all subcontractors and motor carriers that the prime contractor intends to use to perform project work have verified to the prime contractor, through a signed statement under oath by an owner or officer, that they meet the minimum criteria for a responsible contractor. 5.2 RESPONSIBLE/RESPONSIVE BID A "responsible" bid is a bid from a Bidder that has: a. Financial resources, technical qualifications, experience, organization and facilities adequate to carry out the project, or a demonstrated ability to obtain these; b. Resources to meet the completion schedule contained in the Agreement; and c. A satisfactory performance record for completion of other projects.
