In Washington State local governments can utilize a small works roster to connect with businesses to contract for public works projects if the work will not exceed $350,000. The state prescribes various rules about keeping a small works roster, ensuring it is up to date and that there is an annual opportunity for businesses to be listed on the roster. Using a small works roster is an alternative to advertising per contract for cities, subject to state regulations.

Cities can also create consultant lists for businesses that provide architectural, environmental, engineering and other technical services to municipalities.

The City of Ferndale maintains our Small Public Works Roster and Consultant Roster and Vendor Roster in the Municipal Research and Services Center Rosters online database.

Businesses interested in working with our City on projects using a roster contracting process must register at www.mrscrosters.org and select the City of Ferndale in your application.

If you have roster registration questions, please contact MRSC Rosters at mrscrosters@mrsc.org. For questions regarding specific projects, please contact City of Ferndale at public-works@cityofferndale.org.

For questions, please contact the Public Works Department at public-works@cityofferndale.org or call (360) 685-2379.
