You are misinformed on how it works. The two companies bid on doing the program administration and management -- not the construction. All rebuilding and construction work will be done by licensed contractors no matter who wins. Plus, the two companies in question had obtained contractor's licenses when the question was raised. Thus, they would have had the licenses BEFORE any contract was signed.

State law says you have to have a license to bid work and when submitting for the license you receive a letter that clearly says on the bottom that you cannot bid work until the license is approved by the board therefore filing your paper work does not equal having a license, secondly my understanding of the RFP was that the bidder must have a residential contractors license. This has nothing to do with the subs they are going to hire

Again, incorrect. State law may say you must have a license to do construction, but not program or project management. The RFP said nothing about a licenae and there is precedent of other projects having program managers without a contractor's license.
