In order to establish a list of reliable persons qualified to bid on a department contract or to subcontract with such persons and to ensure that the contract may be awarded to the lowest reliable bidder, the department may adopt and publish in print or electronically uniform and reasonable rules and regulations which may include but not be limited to the following:
(1) A requirement that every contractor desiring to be qualified to bid or subcontract file with the department an application including, among other information: a financial statement; a complete questionnaire regarding the contractor's organization and the work performed by such contractor; and a statement of equipment owned or leased by such contractor;
(2) Conditions under which a contractor or subcontractor may become disqualified to bid or to subcontract;
(3) Procedures for assigning maximum capacity ratings to contractors and subcontractors; and
(4) Provisions for waiving prequalification of contractors for construction of specialty items. For the purpose of this paragraph, "specialty items" means work that requires highly specialized knowledge, craftsmanship, or equipment not ordinarily available in the type of contracting organizations qualified and expected to bid on the contract as a whole.
