Not Qualified to Hold Public Contracts |
|
House Bill 2895 (1999) requires the Construction Contractors Board (CCB) to create and maintain a list of contractors and sub contractors who have been determined not to be qualified to hold or participate in any public contract for a public improvement under this law. This list may include any corporation partnership or other business entity of which the contractor or subcontractor is an owner, shareholder or officer of the business or was an owner or officer of the business. The CCB is to provide access to the list to all public contracting agencies, contractors and subcontractors.
The law requires the CCB to begin an action to determine whether a contractor shall be considered qualified to hold or participate in a public contract for a public improvement when:
- Information is received from a public contracting agency or from any person who supplied labor or materials, and
- Labor and materials was related to a public contract for a public improvement, and
- The contractor has not made payment to persons who supplied labor or materials, and
- The payment was not made within 60 days when the payment was received by the contractor, and
- The payment was not subject of a good faith dispute as defined in ORS 279.445.

Public Contract Delinquent Pay Complaint Form |
|
Pursuant to OAR 812-005-003, persons wishing to provide the CCB with such information shall do so on a Public Contract Delinquent Pay Complaint Form supplied by the CCB.
If the CCB determines that the claim made against a contractor or subcontractor was made in bad faith or was false, the person filing the bad faith or false claim shall be placed on the list of persons who have been determined not to be qualified to hold or participate in public contracting for a public improvement.
House Bill 2895 (1999) also significantly changes other aspects of public contracts. The bill requires every public contract to contain certain clauses or conditions that affect the rights and responsibilities of both contractors and public agencies performing public improvement. ORS 279.029(3) mandates the Oregon Department of Administrative Services (DAS) to publish a list of states that give preferences to in-state bidders with the percent increase applied in each state. Public contracting agencies may rely on the names of states and percentages to determine the lowest responsible bidder.
