Small Works & Facilities 

Small Works Roster 

RCW 39.04.155, commonly known as the Common Small Works Procedure, and RCW 28A.335.190, commonly known as the Public School Bid Law, provide that school districts establish as small works roster of qualified contractors who wish to receive bidding information and be considered for performing work on public works. 

Effective October 9, 2024

The Cape Flattery School District is now using MRSC for our small works roster management. If you have previously been approved for the Cape Flattery School District small works roster you will need to re-apply to be put on the MRSC roster ,they are now the official statewide small works roster. 

Small Works Roster Contracts - Construction

• Bidder Responsibility Criteria. Small works contracts are small public works projects. Public agencies may not award a “small works project” to a contractor unless the contractor meets the public works bidder responsibility criteria in RCW 39.04.350. See the Department of Labor & Industries (L&I) Verify a Contractor, Tradesperson or Business to check your L&I account for accuracy.

• Evidence of Ability to Provide Contractor’s Bond. We recommend small works contractors be prepared to present a performance and payment bond (also known as a “contractor’s bond”) for each project being solicited/bid. See chapter 39.08 RCW. Small works legislation does provide the option for public agencies to reduce performance and payment bond amounts at their discretion. Many public agencies also require a bid bond (bid security) to protect the bid and provide evidence of the company’s ability to provide a performance and payment bond. For more information about small contractor support in bonding please, see Integrity Surety.

• Evidence of Insurance. Most public agencies require contractors to provide evidence of insurance coverage for commercial general liability (CGL) and automobile liability. The amount of coverage varies by public agency, but most require a minimum of $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate coverage. To look up insurance agents and brokers registered with the state you can use the Washington State Office of the Insurance Commissioner: Find an agent, agency or company.

• Experience and Past Performance. Although less common, some public agencies will use “supplemental” bidder responsibility criteria under RCW 39.04.350(3), which may include required documentation of specific experience or past performance on similarly scoped projects. Contractors are encouraged to keep public agency contact information and project documentation for all completed public works projects so they may be easily referenced if requested by a public agency. Please note, RCW 39.04.350(3) allows public agencies to consider the experience and past performance of the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.
