Rights and Responsibilities

The PBC is committed to client service and strong stewardship of public resources. We make every attempt to ensure transparency in our contracting process. Contractors are critical in ensuring that the project is delivered to our client agency in a timely and cost effective manner. Contractors and their subcontractors are encouraged to work collaboratively to establish expectations with regard to on-site performance and critical time sensitive milestones related to projects. To further assist vendors in recognizing their rights and responsibilities on important project related matters, this letter is sent to all new subcontractors and suppliers on every new project. Please, download the Compliance Brochure for additional information.

Certifications

Certified contractors eligible for MBE/WBE credit must be certified by the City of Chicago or Cook County at the time bids are awarded. The PBC encourages vendors to maintain their certification throughout the projects.
