Small Works & Consultant Roster
The Port of Longview is pleased to announce that MRSC Rosters will now be maintaining the Small Works and Consultant Rosters. Municipal Research and Services Center (MRSC) Rosters is an online shared Small Public Works Contractor Roster and Consultant Services Roster for local governments in Washington State, including the Port of Longview, to search for eligible Contractor services.
Effective January 1, 2010, the Port of Longview will no longer maintain our own Small Works or Consultant rosters.
MRSC Rosters is a convenient and cost-effective way for marketing services to Agencies statewide through only one registration process. Contractors and Consultants who are interested in doing business with the Port and are not currently enrolled on the MRSC website can enroll at www.mrscrosters.org.

Additional Information
What is MRSC Rosters?
MRSC Rosters is an online database for Washington State local government agencies (cities, counties, school districts, ports, and special districts) to solicit work from contractors eligible to bid on small public works projects (projects under $300,000) and to solicit work from consultants. As a shared roster system, MRSC Rosters provides agencies with access to a current contractor and consultant list, while at the same time allowing contractors and consultants the marketing advantage of reaching multiple agencies through just one roster application process.
