• Has a ten-hour Occupational Safety and Health Administration course or the equivalent and a written safety program with emphasis on one's experience modification rating;
• Has documented ongoing upgrade training;
• Strictly enforces the prevailing wage requirements and complies with such requirements;
• Has a satisfactory record of prior project performance, including the absence of liens and debarment; and
• Satisfies all local licensing requirements if the locality requires any licensing.
