How was the procedure for pre-qualification set up?
In 2001 a taskforce was set up to address what was determined to be deficiencies in construction for State of Kansas building construction projects. The taskforce consisted of representatives from the AGC, AIA, Kansas Consulting Engineers, Kansas Builders Association, the State Building Advisory Commission, a general contractor, a subcontractor, various state agencies and the Division of Facilities Management. The taskforce considered purchasing a packaged evaluation program. After reviewing programs on the market it was determined that they were too complicated and too expensive to justify their purchase and use.
