Construction Contractor Responsibility Certification

Construction contractors MUST submit the following form as outlined below.

The New Castle County Code, Section 2.05.303, Part D.3, specifies the requirement for a Contractor Responsibility Certification for contractors and subcontractors that wish to bid on construction contracts with the New Castle County Department of Special Services, where the probable cost of the contract is expected to exceed $100,000.  Contractors that wish to bid on construction projects with the County are required to complete and submit the Contractor/Subcontractor Responsibility Certification form, no later than the advertised deadline for bid submittals.

The form should be submitted as soon as possible for review, but may be submitted at time of bid opening.  Subcontractors for work totaling $50,000 and above will complete this same form upon notification by the contractor to whom they submitted their bid.  An original signed version of the form is required, as facsimile versions are not acceptable.  The form may be downloaded from this website or is available by contacting the Department of Special Services at 302-395-5733 or 302-395-5749.  Thank you.
