Introduction
King County utilizes contractors for construction, small works and for some service contracts. You must have a current contractors license with the State of Washington.
Most contracts are advertised Invitations to Bid (ITB's) placed in the Seattle Times and other local papers, and posted on our Web Site. Access ITB's, RFP's and RFQ's >> New for the latest advertisements. To view pending and awarded ITB's over the last three months, go to ITB's, RFP's and RFQ's >> Awarded. Some contracts (under $200K) are awarded to contractors signed up on the Small Works Roster. Access Contractors >> Small Works for more information.
Contract values vary from several thousand dollars for small works to multi-million dollar capital construction projects. Contract duration varies from a few weeks to several years. There are some which are titled Work Order contracts. These have a maximum dollar value and are awarded for up to three years, one year at a time.
