What is the Small Works Roster?

A Small Works Roster follows the statute RCW 39.04.155 as a listing of Washington State licensed contractors (not vendors or suppliers) who have applied to be placed on the roster and have met certain basic requirements (i.e., hold a Washington State Business and Contractor license, hold specified insurance coverage, responsible claims history, etc.). The Small Works Roster helps reduce the cost of bidding small projects and makes it easier for contractors to compete for public works projects.

What is "Public Works" ?

Public Works is all work, construction, alteration or repair or improvement, other than ordinary maintenance, executed at the cost of the state or of any municipality, or which is by law a lien or charge on any property therein.

Basic Public Works Requirements for School Districts:

Prevailing Wages~ RCW 39.12.010 requires contractors to pay Prevailing Wages on public works projects. For more information on Prevailing Wages visit the Department of Labor and Industries website.

Insurance Coverage ~ Contractors are required to provide the District with a Certificate of Insurance, minimum $1,000,000, naming Orting School District as additional insured (with the additional insured endorsement).

Industrial Insurance ~ All contractors are required to pay Industrial Insurance Premiums. The District will not award a contract to a contractor who have unpaid Industrial Insurance Premiums.

How to Apply

Municipal Research and Services Center (MRSC) Rosters is an online shared Small Public Works Contractor Roster and Consultant Services Roster for local governments in Washington State, including the Orting School District, to search for eligible Contractor and Consultant service providers by service category.

The rosters are for contractors and consultants only, not vendors or suppliers. The Orting School District no longer maintains Small Works and Consultant rosters separate from those provided by MRSC (as of February, 2012).  To verify if your company is listed on the roster, please contact MRSC directly.
