When the amount bid for a contract exceeds the amount established by the State Licensing Board for General Contractors, the bidder must be licensed by that board and must show the Designer evidence of license before bidding or the bid will not be received by the Designer or considered by the Awarding Authority. A bid exceeding the bid limit stipulated in the bidder’s license, or which is for work outside of the type or types or work stipulated in the bidder’s license, will not be considered.
