Small Works Roster Frequently Asked Questions

The district is authorized by RCW 39.04.151 to use a Small Works Roster to award contracts (with an estimated cost of $350,000 or less) for construction, building, renovation, remodeling, alternation, repair, or improvement of real property.

Projects expected to cost under $35,000 are first offered to the district’s Maintenance Department. If Maintenance determines that it does not have the available resources to perform the work within the schedule, then the job can become a Small Works job. Contracts of less than $35,000 shall be competed among firms listed on the applicable sub-roster whenever feasible.

Refer to Board Policy 6222, Selection of Contractors for Small Construction Projects, for further guidance.

If a company is not on the Small Works Roster, they can apply to be added.

Contractors who submit completed, signed applications are placed on the district’s Small Works Roster by trade specialties.
