Section 0680-01-.24 - BIDDING PROCEDURES

(1) Pursuant to T.C.A. § 62-6-102, a subcontractor is required to be licensed in order to perform electrical, plumbing, heating ventilation, air conditioning, and roofing work when the amount is twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000.00) or more; and masonry work when the amount is one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00) or more, including materials and labor. It is the subcontractor's responsibility to furnish evidence to the prime contractor of an active license with the appropriate name, classification, monetary limit, and expiration date, regardless of how the bid is transmitted. Failure to comply with this rule shall not require no consideration of the subcontractor's bid, if appropriately licensed, but said subcontractor may be subject to discipline by the Board.

(2) Any prime contractor submitting a bid pursuant to T.C.A. § 62-6-119(b) shall list on the outside of the bid envelope or in the submission of an electronic bid only one electrical contractor, one plumbing contractor, one heating ventilation and air conditioning contractor, and one masonry contractor with appropriate classification and monetary limit or the bid shall not be considered. Award of the subcontract to one not listed on the base bid envelope or in the submission of an electronic bid in violation of T.C.A. § 62-6-119 will be subject to review and disciplinary action by the Board.
