California Assembly Bill (AB) 1565 went into effect on January 1, 2014. AB 1565 requires ALL General Contractors and M/E/P Subcontractors be prequalified, if the project is valued at $1 million or more and funded whole or in part with State Facility Bond funds. This applies to the following license numbers ONLY.

In accordance with Public Contract Code 20111.6, the Governing Board (“Board”) establishes a prequalification program for construction contracts awarded on or after January 1, 2014, that receive funding pursuant to the Leroy F. Greene School Facilities Act of 1998 (Education Code Section 17070.10 et seq.) or any funds from any future state school bond and involves a projected expenditure of one million dollars ($1,000,000) or more, (“Prequalification Program”).
In accordance with Public Contract Code section 20111.5, the Governing Board establishes that construction contracts awarded for public works projects with a projected expenditure of one million dollars ($1,000,000) or more, regardless of the source of funding, shall meet the prequalification requirements under Public Contract Code section 20111.6 and be subject to the Prequalification Program that is established and approved by the District in accordance with this Resolution.
Contractors may submit an application to be pre-qualified at any time and if approved, prequalification is valid for one (1) year. If contractor has an active pre-qualification approval and is interested in submitting a bid for a new project that requires pre-qualification, contractor does not need to submit a new application.
If submitting an application for the first time for a specific project, the District must receive a complete application at least ten (10) business days prior to the scheduled bid opening on any advertised project in order for the candidate to qualify for a project in excess of $1,000,000. Pre-qualification approval will remain valid for one (1) year from the date of notice of qualification except as noted in the pre-qualification documents.
