Section Eighteen. Whenever the aggregate costs of any
improvement will be Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00) or more,
for the purpose of enabling the Executive Director to prequalify as
responsible bidders the bidders submitting bids for the
construction of such improvements and so that the Executive
Director can exercise intelligently the discretion hereby conferred
2
on him to determine whether prospective bidders are responsible,
each prospective bidder shall be required to submit under oath in
advance of the submission of his bid a statement of his experience
in such work and of the equipment which he has available for the
performance of such work, and a financial statement certified
by a certified public accountant. The statements hereby
required shall be submitted on forms which shall be prescribed by
the Executive Director. The forms so prescribed shall be
designated, respectively, as the experience questionnaire, the plan
and equipment questionnaire, and the contractor's financial
statement, and shall be based, so far as applicable on the standard
questionnaires and financial statement for bidders as approved for
use in investigating the qualifications of bidders on public
construction work of the State of Missouri, and the forms so
approved are hereby prescribed as the forms which shall hereafter
be used in obtaining the information which is required in the
administration of this ordinance. If the information submitted by
any bidder on the forms herein prescribed is found, on
examination, to be unsatisfactory, the bid submitted by such
bidder shall not be considered."
"Section Nineteen. The Executive Director is hereby
authorized to establish rules and regulations not inconsistent
herewith for the submission of the forms herein-above prescribed
as a condition for consideration of bids for the improvements
3
comprehended by this ordinance."
Section Two. An emergency is hereby declared to exist
within the meaning of the Plan by reason of the necessity to invite
bids from responsible bidders for the construction of a major trunk
sewer for the protection of the public health. Accordingly, this
ordinance shall take effect immediately upon its enactment.
The foregoing Ordinance was adopted June 3, 1961.
