chose to submit bids electronically, the requirement for including a certificate of responsibility, or a statement that

In the letting of public contracts, preference shall be given to resident contractors, and a nonresident bidder

individuals, or partnerships, are to be granted preference over nonresidents in awarding of contracts in the same

manner and to the same extent as provided by the laws of the state of domicile of the nonresident. When a

nonresident contractor submits a bid for a public project, he shall attach thereto a copy of his resident state’s

current law pertaining to such state’s treatment of nonresident contractors.
