has determined that all bidders for the Measure E Series 3 – Interior Improvement Projects at

Greentree ES & Santiago Hills ES (“Projects”) must be prequalified in accordance with Public

Contract Code section 20111.6 prior to submitting a bid on the Project. Any contractor that has

not prequalified* on a DISTRICT project in accordance with Public Contract Code section

submit a Prequalification Questionnaire Package online to PQBids at https://pqbids.com/irvine-usd/

by the date and time indicated herein.

2:00 p.m. of the 3rd day of October 2023*

*Any contractor that has prequalified with the District in accordance with Public Contract Code

section 20111.6 within the past twelve (12) months may satisfy the prequalification requirements

for this project if its earlier Prequalification Questionnaire package was approved for the same or

appropriate license requirement, and the contractor’s total base bid and alternates amount for this

Project does not exceed their prequalified bid amount which is equal to fifty percent (50%) of the

contractors bonding capacity. Bidders are solely responsible to verify with the DISTRICT

whether they are properly prequalified to submit a bid for this Project.

C-43 or C-46 licenses), such MEP subcontractors must also be prequalified. A list of

prequalified MEP subcontractors will be made available by the DISTRICT to all bidders at least

five business days prior to the bid opening date.

If a Contractor has been prequalified, they are discouraged from renewing their prequalification

status between October 5, 2023 and October 12, 2023. An attempt to renew during this period,

will remove the Contractor from the approved list of prequalified Contractors.

A Contractor’s bid for the Measure E Series 3 – Interior Improvement Projects at
