Resolution 2004-024
Policy Establishing Responsible Bidder Evaluation
Be it resolved that the Plymouth City Council hereby establishes a Responsible Bidder
Evaluation Policy.
The City will review the qualifications and experience of bidders for constriction, alteration,
repair, or maintenance of real or personal property after bids are opened and before a contract is
awarded, to determine if the bidder is "responsible." A "responsible" bidder is a bidder qualified
to do the work. This will be determined by assessing the bidder's skill, resources, experience,
successful performance of similar contracts (on time and on budget), and all other matters
bearing upon the likelihood that the contract will be successfully completed. In all cases where a
bidder is unknown or where there are any questions about the qualifications of the bidder, the
following information will be required of the apparent low bidder:
You are required to complete and return this questionnaire before the City Council
considers awarding you the contract.

had more than five such contracts, list only the last five contracts, and as to each
contract identified provide the following information:
