Small Construction Projects Roster (SCPR)

Overview: The City of Seattle utilizes a Small Works Roster to solicit bids for construction projects estimated to cost less than $300,000. SCPR can streamline the bid and contract process compared to a traditional public works. Contractors who are registered onto the Roster will receive requests for quotes via e-mail. Unlike larger construction projects, SCPR projects are not publicly advertised in the Daily Journal of Commerce.

Business Registration & Roster Enrollment: Please register in the City’s central registration system, which is a resource or “yellow pages” for City staff.  After registering, you should then consider applying to the City’s Small Construction Projects Roster.  The Roster is used by many departments to select contractors for construction projects estimated to cost less than $300,000.  The Registration and Construction Roster Application is at:  http://www2.ci.seattle.wa.us/VendorRegistration/

Applying to SCPR: To apply to the Construction Roster, complete the Online application and have a valid Washington State Contractors License. Contractors designate the categories of work that best describe their trade. For each category, the contractor must provide three completed projects that demonstrate their ability to perform work in that category.

Minority and Woman Owned Business: The City encourages all companies that self-identify as at least 51% minority or woman owned, to register into the central system and apply to the Consultant Roster.

Project Quotes: City Project Managers determine if SCPR is the best contracting tool for their project.  If so, the City Project Manager will select the category most appropriate to the project.

Bid Bond:  Bid bonds are not required on SCPR projects. 

Payment and Performance Bond:  A Payment and Performance Bond for the full contract amount is required unless otherwise specified in the project manual.

Insurance:  For general information on the City’s requirements, including standard limits, see Section 1-07.18 of the Standard Plans and Specifications.

Prevailing Wages:  The City requires that the prevailing wage rate be paid to all employees working on public works projects.

Standard Specifications:  The City encourages all contractors to access the current edition of the City’s Standard Plans & Specifications. Division One of the specifications contain the standards for administering construction contracts.
