| History:
1) California Assembly Bill 1565 (AB 1565) states that if the governing board of the district uses funds received pursuant to the Leroy F. Greene School Facilities Act of 1998 for contracts totaling $1,000,000, that the governing board of the district shall require perspective bidders to complete and submit, to the board of the district, a standardized pre-qualification questionnaire and financial statement. This pre-qualification questionnaire must meet the minimum requirements set forth by the Department of Industrial Relations for pre-qualification.
2) Administrative Regulation AR 3311 and Public Contract Code state that the district may establish a procedure for prequalifying bidders on a quarterly basis and may authorize that pre-qualification be considered valid for up to one calendar year following the date of the initial pre-qualification.
Through an online application process, interested bidders have submitted their pre-qualification applications for consideration. Applications have been reviewed by staff, and the attached pool of pre-qualified bidders is recommended for approval.
Once eligible bidders have been notified of their approval by NUSD, their approval can be renewed annually via the same online process. The pre-qualification process remains open throughout the year and eligible bidders seeking to be added to the pool will be presented to the Board for approval on a quarterly basis.

| The Revolving Fund account is used for the purpose of payments to employees and vendors which are legal charges against the General Fund. In February 2012, the Board authorized a decrease in the limit from $35,000 to $20,000. The increase returning the Revolving Cash Fund account limit to $35,000 will meet the current emergency payroll and operational needs of the District. Resolution No. 18-02 is attached. |
