Staff proposes cap of three active CDBG jobs per contractor, with vetting before award
Summary
Staff told the council the draft policy would limit contractors to three concurrent CDBG jobs unless they demonstrate a track record; the department will vet insurance, licenses and prior performance before making award recommendations.
Staff member said the draft policy would limit contractors "to not more than 3 jobs at one time" unless the contractor can demonstrate an approved track record with the program. The staff member explained the department will screen applicants for insurance, license status and any red flags, check national registries and then bring recommended contractors to the board for approval.
The staff member described the bidding rule that proposals must fall within 15% of the county estimator to be considered and said the department will recommend award amounts and note any concerns to the board. Committee members agreed the restriction is a commonsense check on capacity while preserving staff discretion to allow more work for contractors with proven experience.
