Z -- PREQUALIFIED VENDORS LIST, EASTERN WASHINGTON The General Services Administration (GSA) maintains a Pre-qualified Small Business Contractors List for Construction Services (Pre-qualified Contractors List) for the following geographic locations: All of Eastern Washington, Counties of Adams, Asotin, Benton, Chelan, Columbia, Douglas, Ferry, Franklin, Garfield, Grant, Kititat, Lincoln, Okanogan, Pend Orielle, Spokane, Stevens, Walla Walla, Whitman, and Yakima. The Pre-qualified Contractors List is being used by GSA for a two year test period ending March 31, 1999. Should the Test of the use of the Pre-qualified Contractors List prove to be successful, GSA may continue to utilize, update, and maintain the list. The Pre-qualified Contractors List will be limited to small business contractors, including small disadvantaged business and small women-owned business concerns, interested in performing building repair and alterations work (construction services) for the GSA that have met certain minimum qualification standards regarding experience and past performance, capability to provide bonding or other payment protections for subcontractors, and to meet other requirements regarding conducting business electronically. The Pre-qualified Contractors List is used for projects costing more than $2,000 but less than $100,000 be reserved for small business concerns unless a determination is made that there is no reasonable expectation of obtaining quotations from two or more small business concerns that will be competitive in terms of price, quality and delivery. Therefore, contractors must be a small business concern in order to qualify for placement on the Pre-qualified Contractors List. Once a requirement for construction services is identified GSA will only solicit quotes from firms on the Pre-qualified Contractors List for purposes of performing the individual construction projects. Small businesses placed on the Pre-qualified Contractors List will receive electronic notification via E-mail or facsimile of contracting opportunities within the above referenced dollar range and will be invited to submit a quote either by E-mail or facsimile. Interested small business concerns should request an Application for Placement on the Pre-qualified Contractors List by contacting Linda L.
