Department 672 - STATE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Chapter 672-5 - GOVERNING THE PREQUALIFICATION OF PROSPECTIVE BIDDERS
Rule 672-5-.11 - Application for Subcontractor Registration
Current through Rules and Regulations filed through December 18, 2024
(1) In order for the Department to maintain a register of Subcontractors, any person desiring to perform work on Department projects as a Subcontractor must obtain a Certificate of Registration by submitting a notification of such desire under oath to the Department on forms to be furnished by the Department. The original notification may be filed at any time, but in no case less than ten (10) days prior to the prime contractor's requesting approval of the subcontract to which the Prospective Subcontractor will be a party. The notification must include the following information:
(2) A person desiring to remain on the register of Subcontractors shall submit a notification of such desire on forms provided by the Department no less often than once every two (2) years and more often should it be deemed necessary by either the Prospective Subcontractor or the Prequalification Committee. Should the Prequalification Committee request such a filing, the notification shall be filed within thirty (30) days after receipt of the request. Failure on the part of the Prospective Subcontractor to file the notification every two years or to file the notification requested by the Prequalification Committee within thirty (30) days after receipt of such request shall be grounds for its removal from the register of Subcontractors pursuant to Rule 672-5-.15. The Prospective Subcontractor must submit an updated notification of desire to remain on the register of Subcontractors on forms provided by the Department, when it has sold or acquired a large number of assets.
(3) Subcontractors will be assigned a Maximum Capacity Rating, which shall represent the maximum dollar amount of work a registered Subcontractor may undertake on Department projects at any one time. The value of any single subcontract will not exceed Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000). The Maximum Capacity Rating for each registered Subcontractor will be established utilizing the following formula:
Q = (F)(B)
Q = Maximum Capacity Rating
F = Ability or Multiplying Factor as established by performance ratings.
B = Base Value. For state fiscal years 2024-2030, the value of "B" shall be $300,000. Thereafter, the Prequalification Committee shall perform or cause to be performed an audit of the value of "B" at a minimum of every five (5) years to ensure that the value of "B" takes into consideration current inflation trends and other relevant market trends. Based upon the result of this audit, the Department may amend the value of "B" by making an amendment to its Prequalification Manual, which shall be published on the Department's website, www.dot.ga.gov.
(4) The registration of, and assignment of a Maximum Capacity Rating to, a Subcontractor by the Department is not, nor shall it be construed as, a warranty, certification, implication or assurance by the Department that the registered Subcontractor is qualified, either as to the type of work or quantity, to undertake the work for which the Subcontractor is hired by the prime contractor. The registration of, and assignment of a Maximum Capacity Rating to, a Subcontractor by the Department shall not relieve the prime contractor of its responsibility to determine that its Subcontractors are in fact qualified to perform the work for which they are engaged nor relieve the prime contractor of any rights, liabilities, duties or obligations under its contract with the Department.
