ELB Terms and Conditions

Emergency Limited Bid (ELB) contracts are a modified type of force account contract that include a competitive bidding element. ELB method of contracting generally is used for permanent restoration emergency work and occasionally for emergency opening work. These contracts are used for emergency work that is urgent, but stable. ELB contracts require bids from at least three contractors. Contractors compete based on markup rates of the prime contractor's labor, equipment rental and materials. An example of an ELB contract would be the repair of a state building's roof leak.
