Before awarding a Contract, the Board must have information that indicates the Proposer meets the applicable standards of responsibility. PEBB shall prepare a written determination of non responsibility for a Proposer if PEBB determines that the Proposer does not meet the standards of responsibility.(2)
In determining whether a Proposer has met the standards of responsibility, PEBB shall consider whether a Proposer:(a)
Has available the appropriate financial, material, equipment, facility and personnel resources and expertise, or has the ability to obtain the resources and expertise, necessary to meet all contractual responsibilities.(b)
Completed previous contracts of a similar nature with a satisfactory record of performance. For purposes of this paragraph, a satisfactory record of performance means that to the extent that the costs associated with and time available to perform a previous contract remained within the Proposer’s control, the Proposer stayed within the time and budget allotted for the procurement and otherwise performed the contract in a satisfactory manner. PEBB shall document the Proposer’s record of performance if PEBB finds under this paragraph that the Proposer is not responsible.(c)
Has a satisfactory record of integrity. PEBB in evaluating the Proposer’s record of integrity may consider, among other things, whether the Proposer has previous criminal convictions for offenses related to obtaining or attempting to obtain a contract or subcontract or in connection with the Proposer’s performance of a contract or subcontract. PEBB shall document the Proposer’s record of integrity if PEBB finds under this paragraph that the Proposer is not responsible.(d)
Is legally qualified to contract with PEBB.(e)
