Things You Should Know
Contractor Prequalification: San Diego Unified requires general contractors and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) subcontractors to submit a prequalification package to bid on projects over $1 million (regardless of the value of the prime and/or subcontractor's work on the project). For more information and a list of prequalified contractors, click here.
Contractor Registration Law: San Diego Unified may use only Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) registered contractors and subcontractors on public works for new construction and maintenance projects. This means the law applies to all contractors and subcontractors who intend to bid or perform work on San Diego Unified projects and that the District may not accept a bid or enter into a contract for a public works project with an unregistered contractor, or accept bids that include unregistered subcontractors.
