Under the informal bidding procedures, Alameda County is authorized to develop and maintain a lists of contractors in accordance with Section 22034 of the Public Contract Code. Once contractors are on the qualified list, a notice inviting informal bids for projects under $200,000 will be emailed to all contractors on the qualified list for the category of work to be procured. Inclusion on the list assures contractors will be notified of informally bid projects where contractor has the appropriate license required for that work. If new licenses are secured through the course of the year, Contractors shall contact the County to update their information so they may be added to the additional applicable list. Contractors not on the qualified lists may bid on informally procured projects; however, they will not be sent a notice inviting informal bids from the County. UPCCAA designated Construction Trade Journals, such as the Construction Bidboard (Ebidboard), may be sent a notice inviting informal bids, and contractors may obtain information regarding informally procured projects from the designated Construction Trade Journals. Contractors must also, pursuant to Labor Code Section 1725.5, be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations in order to be listed and awarded a contract on a public works project and Contractor must provide its public works contractor registration number. Interested contractors are required to provide their name, address, an email to which a notice inviting informal bids should be sent, a telephone number at which the contractor may be reached, and the type of work which the contractor is interested in and currently licensed to do, together with the class of contractors license(s) held and contractors license number(s).
