Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. R. 672-5-.10 - Certification of Capacity

(1) In order that the Department may have the necessary information to pass upon the ability of a Prospective Bidder to satisfactorily complete a project, each low bidder must submit on each proposal within one (1) business day after the letting a Certification of Capacity to perform the work. Such forms may be obtained from the office of the Prequalification Committee. In making this certification, the Prospective Bidder certifies that its Current Capacity is sufficient to cover the amount of its proposal.

(2) If the Prospective Bidder certifies that it has obligations of uncompleted work under contract, the initiation of work on which for good and sufficient contractual reasons, must be deferred beyond a period of twelve (12) months after the date of the opening of bids for the work for which the Prospective Bidder is submitting its bid, the Prequalification Committee may give consideration to temporarily reducing the debits against the Prospective Bidder's Current Capacity by the amounts of the dollar values of such items. If the Prospective Bidder desires such consideration where the award of a contract is contingent upon the deferral of such charges against its Current Capacity, Prospective Bidder must list the projects on which such deferrals are requested in its Certification of Capacity and it must attach a detailed explanation of the circumstances.

(3) The penalty for making a false Certification of Capacity may be disqualification from bidding on future work for a ninety (90) day period. The appeal procedure will be the same as that set out in 672-5-.14(2).
