This bill mandates that prime contractors notify subcontractors listed on their bids for State contracts once they are awarded the contract. The notification must be sent via certified mail within 30 days of the prime contractor receiving notice of the awarded contract. It must include essential details such as the name of the State agency that awarded the contract, a description of the work to be performed by the prime contractor, and the specific work expected from the subcontractor along with the timeframe for that work.

Importantly, the bill clarifies that prime contractors are not responsible for informing subcontractors about necessary applications, certifications, permits, or associated deadlines required for eligibility to perform under State contracts. If a prime contractor fails to provide the required notification within the specified timeframe, they may face penalties as outlined in the contract for non-compliance. This legislation aims to ensure better communication and clarity between prime contractors and subcontractors involved in State contracts.
