14-22.006. Current Capacity Rating

(1) The Certificate of Qualification shall establish an applicant’s Maximum Capacity Rating, which will be reduced by the total value of their current uncompleted work, regardless of its location and with whom it may be contracted, to determine the bidding capacity at any particular time. Current Capacity is the applicant’s bidding capacity. Current Capacity shall be amended immediately upon issuance of a new Certificate of Qualification, regardless of whether the existing Certificate of Qualification has expired.

(2) In determining the Current Capacity of a prospective bidder, the deduction for uncompleted work shall include work subcontracted from others. The bidder will be given credit for work sublet to others; provided, for contracts with the Department, the request for authorization to sublet the work has been approved in writing.

(3) All prequalified contractors must certify their total dollar amount of work underway monthly and submit Form 375-020-39, Rev. 11/07, Update Work Underway, hereby incorporated by reference http://www.flrules.org/Gateway/reference.asp?No=Ref-03120, with the Status of Contracts On Hand Template, or a spreadsheet in a similar and accepted format. This information must reflect an “as of date” no older than 30 days prior to the certification date. The certification must be submitted via the “Work Underway” link in the Contractor Pre-Qualification System. This certification is independent of the Status of Contracts On Hand submitted with the annual application for qualification. Failure to submit the Certification of Work Underway shall result in the contractor being prohibited from receiving bidding documents, submitting bids, or receiving contract awards until the certification is submitted. If a Form 375-020-39 is submitted, and the contractor is awarded a contract during that month that exceeds 25% of the total dollar amount of work underway, a revised Form 375-020-39 must be submitted prior to submitting another bid during that month.

(4) In determining a bidder’s Current Capacity, any projects in a prior letting pending award by the Department to such bidder shall also be debited against the bidder’s Current Capacity, unless the award is to be delayed for an indefinite period of time. Further, no credit shall be given for proposed subcontracting of any work included in such proposal pending award.
