Prequalification Under M.G.L. c. 149 - OIG Academy Elective

This 3-hour class will provide step-by-step guidance and recommendations on conducting a M.G.L. c. 149 prequalification process.

M.G.L. c. 149 requires most public awarding authorities to undertake a contractor and subcontractor prequalification process before soliciting bids on building projects estimated to cost $10 million or more. This 3-hour class will explain how prequalification differs from contractor and subcontractor certification, provide step-by-step guidance and recommendations on conducting a M.G.L. c. 149 prequalification process, and highlight key findings from recent Massachusetts Attorney General opinions concerning prequalification-related bid protests.
