MRSC Small Works Roster
Per RCW 39.04.151-152 and RCW 36.77.075, Benton County and its officials and officers need not comply with the formal sealed bidding requirements set forth in RCW 36.32.250 and RCW 36.77.020 through RCW 36.77.040 for public works contracts for the construction, building, renovation, remodeling, alteration, repair, maintenance or improvement of county owned assets with an estimated cost of $350,000 or less excluding Washington State sales tax. For such projects, the small public works roster procedures as set forth herein may be used. The County may choose to follow this process for contracts with an estimated value less than $150,000. The breaking of any project into units or accomplishing any projects by phases is prohibited if it is done for the purpose of avoiding the maximum dollar amount of a contract that may be let using the small public works roster process.
