Section 650.70  Waiver of Prequalification and Additional Responsibility Considerations

Prequalification may be waived or additional responsibility or eligibility factors may be established for selected contracts advertised in the Transportation Procurement Bulletin.  In such contracts, the manner of determining bidder responsibility will be stated in the advertised contract and Transportation Procurement Bulletin.  Contracts in which such waiver may be made include, but are not limited to, contracts that require specialized skills not covered by available work categories, contracts for furnished manufactured products, small business set-asides, or contracts in which a waiver is necessary to achieve sufficient competition.  However, contractors must still obtain an Illinois Department of Human Rights identification number and comply with the procedures of Subpart B.
