Contracting Opportunities

NOTICE TO ALL CONTRACTORS, CONSULTANTS AND VENDORS!!!

ALL PARTIES THAT WISH TO CONTINUE TO BID ON WORK MUST BE ON MRSC's ROSTERS - this includes SMALL WORKS ROSTER, VENDOR LIST AND/OR PRE-QUALIFIED ENTITIES. ALL MUST REGISTER THEIR COMPANY WITH MRSC ROSTERS.

QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS TRANSITION CAN BE EMAILED TO CONTRACTS@POPUD.ORG.

The PUD has joined MRSC’s roster service to help aid in approving and maintaining our small works, consultant, and vendor rosters.

It is important that you sign-up on MRSC’s appropriate roster(s) as soon as possible! If you already have an existing MRSC Rosters account, you will need to add us to your selections (if you haven’t yet done so).

At this time, we are still utilizing ProcureWare (the PUD’s online contracting portal) to notify of bids, RFPs, RFQs and other opportunities so you’ll want to remain registered there.

Please read on below for the all the details and links on how to register with the MRSC Roster Service.

MRSC maintains three separate rosters for the PUD #1 of Pend Oreille County:

Small Works – Construction, building, renovation, remodeling, alteration, repair or improvement of real property as referenced in RCW 39.04.152
Consultant - Architecture, engineering, and surveying services as referenced in Ch. 39.80 RCW, as well as other professional services such as design, planning, management, real estate, financial, legal, communications, environmental, IT, and personnel, consulting.
Vendor – (including maintenance services) Product sales, equipment repair, vehicle maintenance, garbage collection, and other purchased services as referenced in RCW 39.04.190.

Before you start your application there are 2 things we suggest you do to prepare for the application questions.

1. Read the eligibility requirements: https://mrscrosters.org/businesses/eligibility-requirements/
2. Review the list of ALL MRSC categories to find the appropriate categories to describe what your business does.

You will want to make note of the following information:

- - Small Works Roster – Project Type, Category and Sub-Category
  - Consultant Roster – Category and Sub-Category
  - Vendor Roster – Category and Sub-Category

Tips on how to best find information on the Roster Categories excel spreadsheet:

- - - Column B – Roster Type (Small Works, Consultant, Vendor)
    - Column C – Project Type (Only used for Small Works Roster)
    - Column D – Category
    - Column E – Sub-Category

A quick way to search this spreadsheet is to:

- - - - Select "ctrl F" – which is a shortcut to “find” words.
      - Enter the keywords you are looking for in the "Find what:" box .
      - Select "Find Next" to see if there are any other places on the spreadsheet you see your keywords.
      - Utilizing the filters is another method to search for what you are looking for.

Once you know which roster(s) and categories it’s time to start the application.

Remember to select Public Utility District No. 1 of Pend Oreille County in the “Select Public Agencies” section of the application – this way we can see your profile. If you don’t select our agency we will not be able to see you and send out opportunities.

Here’s the application link: https://members.mrscrosters.org/register/form?type=business
