44 Ill. Adm. Code 950.180
Ineligibility
Section 950
Section 950.180
Ineligibility
A contractor, whether or not
previously or currently prequalified and determined to be responsible by CDB,
may be ineligible to bid under the following circumstances:
a) The contractor fails to meet statutory or regulatory
requirements other than those set out in this Part.
b) The contractor has inadequate relevant experience in
construction contracting to undertake CDB projects or a particular CDB
project. In determining whether a contractor has adequate relevant experience,
CDB will consider the size, type, number, and recency of past private and
public contracts of the firm, its predecessors, or key persons with the firm.
c) The contractor has inadequate resources to meet the CDB
contractual work force requirements. CDB shall not make a determination of
responsibility for any contractor who has the appearance of being a broker,
rather than a conventional construction business. In determining whether a
contractor is a broker or a firm with inadequate resources, CDB may consider
one or more of the following:
1) Whether the contractor maintains and works from a separate
conventional office which is not a residence or offices for other businesses.
2) Whether the contractor maintains a full-time office and
construction staff consisting of clerical, managerial, and supervisory
personnel.
3) Whether key persons with the firm have an educational and work
experience background that makes the key persons sufficiently expert and
knowledgeable to carry out CDB construction projects.
4) Whether the contractor owns equipment, tools, machinery,
materials or supplies used on construction projects.
5) Whether the contractor has financial resources related to or
generated by the construction business.
6) Whether the contractor has historically subcontracted for a
percentage of the work in construction contracts exceeding the requirements of
CDB contracts.
7) Whether key persons with the firm are engaged in
non-construction businesses.
