bidder by furnishing any or all of the following data:

2. Permanent name and address of place of business.
3. The number of regular employees of the organization and length of time the organization has been in
business under present name.
4. The names of members of the firms who hold appropriate trade licenses, together with license numbers.

compliance with the requirements of G.S. 143-128.2(c), the past performance of the bidder on construction
contracts for the State with particular concern given to completion times, quality of work, cooperation with other
contractors, and cooperation with the designer and owner. Failure of the low bidder to furnish affidavit and/or
