Due to legally restrictive nature of public work, contracts are often awarded solely based on the price of the bid. This has often resulted in contracts being awarded to less qualified contractors. Between the practices developed to deal with this issue, prequalification has proven to be one of the most effective practices in dealing with this problem. As it was investigated in this research, practice of prequalification is widespread amongst the public owners in the region. However, an in-depth look at the practices has revealed that these owners are not currently using this process to its fullest potential and integration of some of the best practices suggested in this paper has the potential to make this process more effective. This research also contains a specially fabricated model which encumbers all of the suggested practices and aims at creating a simple, practical and transparent model for the public owners in the Southern Ontario region.
