Pre-Qualification General Conditions

The Applicant must provide current, accurate, and complete information. Incomplete or inaccurate documentation may result in denial of Pre-Qualification.
The District reserves the right to verify the information submitted by the Applicant, in any related documents, or by supplemental information or data as necessary. If it is determined that false information or data was submitted in conjunction with the Application, the District may deny Pre-Qualification, revoke previously granted approval, or, if an award has been made, may terminate the contract.
All costs associated with completion of the Application shall be borne by the Applicant. The District shall not, in any event, be liable for any expense incurred by the Applicant in connection with the preparation, completion or submission of the Application.
The District reserves the right to extend the Application submission deadline if such action is determined to be in the best interest of the District.
The District’s Contracts Management Office has access to all information provided on the Application, related documents, and supplemental data. Should information or data provided in the Application indicate possible fraud, collusion, or intentional submission of false information, the matter may be referred to the District’s Legal Counsel for further review and possible investigation independent of the Pre-Qualification process.
If the Applicant displays a significant lack of cooperation in facilitating verification of its information or providing data, the District, at its sole discretion, may deny the firm Pre-Qualification approval and declare the Applicant’s bid or proposal to be non-responsive for the specific procurement.
The financial information submitted in conjunction with the Applicant’s Application is considered confidential business information and will be afforded protection by the District to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Any dispute arising out of this Application or relating to Pre-Qualification in general shall be heard and determined in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, or in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. If an action is commenced against the District in jurisdictions other than the above courts, and the District is forced to compel compliance with this provision through court action, Applicant and its owners shall be liable for all expenses, including attorney’s fees, incurred by the District in its effort to compel compliance.
The District reserves the right to revise the Application and instructions in whole or in part at any time.
The Pre-Qualification of a prospective Applicant shall neither limit nor preclude the District’s subsequent consideration of a Pre-Qualified Applicant’s responsibility on factors other than the prospective Applicant’s financial qualifications. (See Public Contracts Code § 20651.5.)
