To facilitate communication and program administration, the Program Director requires that all contractors participating in the program must own or have ready access to a fax machine.
Upon being qualified to participate as a contractor in the program, all General Contractors are required to purchase a copy of the Contractor's Manual for a one-time fee of $25.00. This manual contains general information, forms and specifications necessary to participate in the program. Subcontractors need not purchase a copy of the manual unless they will be bidding projects as a General Contractor and are so licensed. Contractors will not be permitted to bid projects as a General Contractor unless they first purchase a manual. Updates to the manual will be provided to you as they occur at no additional charge.
CONTRACTOR APPLICATION FORM
Once approved for the program, Contractors may begin bidding projects. However, a new Contractor may initially obtain only one (1) project. Once successfully completed, the Contractor may bid for and obtain additional projects up to a number determined by the Program Manager based on the contractors past program performance. Continued participation in the program is based on performance evaluations provided by the Homeowner and Program Manager.
The Program Manager will fax an "Invitation to Bid" no later than each Monday to approved Contractors. The invitation provides information on all of the projects being offered for bid that week. Bid packages for the projects are available at Kiemle & Hagood's office between 8:00 A.M. and 4:30 P.M. Monday through Friday. All information required to bid on a project is contained in the bid package.
Projects remain in open bidding for a period of one week. Bids are accepted up until 2:00 P.M. on the day that they will be opened. Bids may be mailed or hand delivered to Kiemle & Hagood's office. Faxed bids will not be accepted. If one or more bids are within 10% of the low bidder for a project, the Homeowner has the option of choosing between the Contractors offering these bids. Kiemle & Hagood will contact the successful Contractor after the Homeowner has accepted and approved one of these bids for their project.
Please be advised that an applicant's company and/or personal credit history will be reviewed as part of this application process and a pattern of financial instability or irresponsibility may render an applicant ineligible to participate in either program. Please also be advised that this financial information may be periodically reviewed at the discretion of the Program Manager in order to determine continued eligibility to participation in either program.
Any further questions regarding the program or the Contractor Qualification Statement should be directed to Kiemle & Hagood at (509) 755-7519.
