The attention of all bidders is called to Code of Alabama §§ 34-8-1 and 34-8-2 (1975) and 34-8-1, 34-8-2, 34-8-4, 34-8-6, 34-8-7, 34-8-8 and 34-8-9 (amended 1996) setting forth the definition of general contractor and the licensing procedures and requirements for state licensing. A copy of the above Codes may be obtained from the OWNER (City of Huntsville). No one is entitled to bid and no contract may be awarded to anyone who does not possess a valid general contractor’s license and the required classification for the municipal type work to be performed. The general contractor’s license and classification must appear on the outside of the bid envelope along with the general contractor’s name and address, project name and number and date and time of bid opening. Section 39-3-5 Code of Alabama has been amended as follows:
“In awarding the Contract, preference will be given to Alabama resident contractors and a nonresident bidder domiciled in a state having laws granting preference to local contractors shall be awarded the Contract only on the same basis as the nonresident bidder’s state awards contracts to Alabama contractors bidding under similar circumstances.”
This project Old Monrovia Road Improvements, more particularly known as Project No. 71-21-RD07 requires the contractor to possess a State of Alabama Classification of (HS) Highways & Streets or (MU) Municipal & Utility.
