The Office of General Services Design & Construction (D&C) Group awards approximately 500 emergency contracts annually. Emergency contracts may be awarded for as much as $300,000. Bids for emergency contracts may be taken over the phone, require an immediate response and performance of the work. Emergency contracts are of short duration and are usually awarded on a cost plus basis.

The Public Buildings Law requires D&C to establish a list of contractors who are interested in bidding on emergency work by trade interest and geographical area. Bids will be solicited from this list on a rotational basis. It is anticipated that qualified contractors expressing an interest in emergency work will be solicited.

It is the policy of the state and the Office of General Services to encourage minority business enterprise participation in the Emergency Program.

Placement on the various trade lists are subject to meeting the requirements outlined in the Emergency Contract Bidders List Requirements and are subject to the state's review, verification and approval of the firms work experience.
