Public Higher Education Bulletin

In an effort to simplify and eliminate the requirement that contractors prequalify repetitively during the calendar year, contractors who wish to prequalify for the period January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016 can accomplish this by executing, in its entirety, the prequalification statement and all enclosures. The document may be downloaded on the Illinois Higher Education Procurement Bulletin or on the SIUE Purchasing website.

The Contract Certifications and Conflicts form, Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest form, Disclosure of Business with Iran form, Board of Elections Certification, Vendors Legal Authorization, references, and your company?s substance abuse policy are also part of the prequalification process. This should eliminate the requirement of completing some of these forms with each project that is bid throughout the calendar year unless the form or the requirements are changed. The Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest form does need to be completed on a project-per-project basis, but is still part of the prequalification process. SIUE does, however, reserve the right to request updated forms at any time and on a per project basis.

Prequalification with SIUE does not prequalify your company with CDB or any other University in the State of Illinois, nor will CDB?s prequalification statement be accepted on SIUE bid projects. This document is only used by SIUE.

Your company will be notified if the document is approved or if additional information is required, your company will be notified once requesting the additional information. As in the past, no bids will be accepted if a complete and approved SIUE prequalification statement is not on file with me during the current calendar year. E-mailing the completed prequalification is the preferred method of submission and the original document does not need to follow in the mail.

The University reserves the right to accept or reject any and all responses or parts thereof. Illinois Department of Human Rights (IDHR) eligibility number is required on all proposals, if applicable.
