Current as of January 01, 2025 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

(a) Notwithstanding the provisions of section 4b-91 and chapter 242,  1 the department shall, when it determines appropriate, provide for a process of prequalification for private entities seeking to enter into a public-private partnership. Any such process shall include public notice of the prequalification process and the requirements and the criteria the department will use in determining whether the private entity qualifies for prequalification. If the department has determined that such a prequalification process is appropriate for the project, the department shall allow only prequalified private entities to be a proposer. The department may charge a reasonable application fee for prequalification.

(b) In addition to any requirements set forth in the request for proposals, request for qualifications or bid solicitation for a project, in order to be prequalified, a private entity shall:

(1) Have available such lawful sources of funding, capital, securities or other financial resources that, in the judgment of the department in consultation with the Department of Economic and Community Development, are necessary to carry out the project if such private entity is selected as the contractor;

(2) Possess either through its staff, subcontractors, a consortium or joint venture agreement the managerial, organizational, technical capacity and experience in the type of project for which the proposer is submitting a bid proposal;

(3) Be qualified to lawfully conduct business in this state; and

(4) Certify that no director, officer, partner, owner or other individual with direct and significant control over the policy of the private entity has been convicted of corruption or fraud in any jurisdiction of the United States.
