Section 16C.285, sub-

division 3. Any prime

contractor, subcontrac-

tor, or motor carrier

that does not meet the

minimum criteria or

fails to comply with the

verification require-

ments is not a respon-

sible contractor and is

not eligible to be

awarded a construction

contract for the project

or to perform work on

the project. A prime

contractor, subcon-

tractor, or motor carrier

that makes a false

statement under oath

verifying compliance

with the minimum cri-

teria will be ineligible to

be awarded a con-

struction contract on

the project and the

submission of a false

statement may result in

termination of a con-

tract awarded to a

prime contractor, sub-

contractor, or motor

carrier that submits the

false statement. A

prime contractor shall

include in its verifica-

tion of compliance a

list of all its first-tier

subcontractors that it

intends to retain for

work on the project.

Before execution of a

construction contract, a

prime contractor shall

submit a supplemental

verification under oath

confirming that all sub-

contractors and motor

carriers that the prime

contractor intends to

use to perform project

work have verified to

the prime contractor,

through a signed state-

ment under oath by an

owner or officer, that

they meet the

minimum criteria for a

responsible contractor.

The schedule for the

project is to commence

work July 2020 with

cuments.
