Bidder Inquiry / Response

Inquiry:
I was emailing to inquire about the license requirements for the 02A2397 job in Siskiyou County. We hold a C-12 license and have won and completed similar jobs with the DOT, as well as other public works agencies. We believe that because there isn't any specialized work being done, that a C-12 should be applicable for this job. Could you provide me with any information on why it wouldn't be allowed, or could this be updated to allow an applicable C license?

Response:

After reviewing the individual bid items and the Caltrans Division of Engineering Services Contractor License Determination guide, it has been determined that there is not enough C-12 work on this contract to constitute 50% of the contract items.  Excavation for drainage is not a separate bid item and is considered incidental to the corrugated steel pipe and drainage inlet items and therefore falls under a different C license.  No changes to the applicable licensing requirements on this contract will be made at this time.
