Debarred Contractor List
Part of being a responsible public owner is to ensure that the contractors bidding on your project are in good standing with the Washington Department of Labor and Industries (“L&I”). Contractors found to be in non-compliance with prevailing wage law or contractor registration law by L&I are not allowed to bid on public projects, and are referred to as “debarred.” Consequently, owners should check the debarred contractor list prior to selecting a contractor for their project. The list was recently updated and can be found at
