The City of San Luis Obispo is projecting an average of approximately $20,000,000 per year in capital improvement projects over the next several years. Recently we have had some bad luck with a few contractors that have provided consistently poor workmanship and service on multiple public construction contracts. We recognize that the Public Contract Code is pretty specific on this stuff. However, we are interested in hearing how other communities have dealt with this, and how successful you may have been in developing a process for disqualifying bidders who have been problematic or pre-qualifying more reputable contractors for public construction contracts. Note: If being a charter city is any help, we are one. If you have some insight into this issue, please respond by April 14, 2000. A summary of the responses will be prepared and distributed by April 28. On behalf of our Public Works and Utilities Departments, thanks for your help! - Bill Bill Statler, Director of Finance City of San Luis Obispo 990 Palm Street San Luis Obispo, CA 93401 Phone: (805) 781-7125 Fax: (805) 781-7401 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
