SB5220 modifies small works roster requirements for cities in Washington.

SB5220 modifies the small works roster requirements for cities in Washington. It allows second-class cities and towns to perform public works without calling for bids if the estimated cost is under $150,000. It also allows first-class cities to perform public works by city employees if the value does not exceed $300,000. The bill mandates that contracts must be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder and requires cities to invite proposals from certified minority or woman contractors. It also includes provisions for unit priced contracts and prevailing wages.
