  2. Shared Roster System MRSC Rosters MRSC Rosters is an online, shared small public works and consultant roster system for Washington State counties, cities, and authorized special districts, which is currently used by 169 public agencies in 25 counties.

  3. Convenient and Affordable MRSC Rosters MRSC Rosters provides: Public Agency Annual Fee • Annual Legal Notice Posting • Website for Online Registration • Registration and Renewal Support • Initial Verification of Applicant Eligibility • Searchable Online Roster Database • Maintenance of Roster

  4. Public Agency Registration MRSC Rosters • Print contract at www.mrscrosters.org • Submit signed contract and payment to MRSC • Begin using MRSC Rosters If you currently maintain your own rosters then there is an additional transition step.

  5. Transitioning to MRSC Rosters MRSC Rosters Announce to your contractors and consultants that they will now need to apply on MRSC Rosters for free to be listed on your roster. Use both your current roster and MRSC Rosters when soliciting bids until you discontinue use of the current roster.

  6. Legal Notice Posting MRSC Rosters MRSC posts twice a year (January and June) in papers of general circulation within the jurisdiction of participating public agencies. Papers include The Daily Journal of Commerce, Seattle Times, Spokesman Review and other papers with wide circulation. • The legal notice satisfies your state posting requirements for small works contracting (RCW 39.04.155) and for contracting with architects and engineers (Ch 39.80 RCW) because it occurs within the year of roster usage. • Washington Department of Transportation and the Transportation Improvement Board accept the MRSC posting as sufficient advertising when you are using a roster process for federally funded projects.

  7. Business Registration MRSC Rosters Applicants go to www.mrscrosters.org and click “Join MRSC Rosters” They determine if they are a small works contractor or consultant.
