What is Subcontractor Qualification?

Subcontractor Qualification allows R-O to review the Subcontractor’s company and its capability to complete all Contractual obligations or qualify to bid future projects.

Why is it necessary to go through the Qualification process?

To insure that all subcontractors on our projects can be successful in completing their scope of work or fulfilling the projects they bid. This involves understanding a Subcontractor’s financial strength, manpower resources, experience level on size, complexity and project type and ability to work safely.

Do all Subcontractors have to go through the Qualification Processes?

Any Subcontractor that has not worked previously with R-O and who will be performing labor on a project must be qualified. Subcontracts will not be awarded until approved. Bid proposals will continue to be accepted however; could slow down the awarding process if the Subcontractor is not already qualified.

How long does the process take?

The qualification process can take anywhere from one to three weeks or, in some cases longer. All qualifications are processed in the order in which it is received unless the priority is changed due to project conditions.

What are the requirements for a Subcontractor to be considered?

Unless otherwise approved by Rogers-O’Brien, a Subcontractor must have been in business for a minimum of one year, (with the same Tax Identification Number) and carry the required insurance.

What documentation is required in addition to the Qualification Packet?

The Qualification Packet must be completely filled out and submitted along with all attachments as required within the Qualification Packet. Financial Statements are a requirement for Qualification.

Who will be reviewing the documentation?

All information is for R-O’s use only and will be kept strictly confidential. The Qualification packet is reviewed only by authorized Rogers-O’Brien personnel and our third party reviewer for which confidentiality is strictly required. Qualification files may be viewed by our insurance underwriters only in the process of reviewing adherence to policy requirements.
