SF 1750 Readiness Review

Minnesota's competitive-bid rule takes effect January 1, 2027. This review shows your board where it stands today and what to put in place before the deadline, in writing, in priority order.

What it is

A structured review of how your association buys construction and maintenance work today, measured against the practices the new rule describes. We inventory your contracts and vendor relationships, look at how bids have actually been solicited and recorded, check what documentation survives a board turnover, and hand you a written readiness picture with a prioritized action list.

The deliverable is a document your board can work from and hand to its attorney, not a verdict. Questions about how the statute applies to your association go to your association's counsel, and we make sure counsel gets clean facts to work with.

Who it's for

  • Boards with a project crossing the threshold in 2027 or later that want the process settled before the money is on the table.
  • Self-managed associations that have never run a formal bid and want to build the habit while there is still runway.
  • Boards inheriting thin records, where nobody can find the last contract, the last bid file, or the disclosures that went with them.
  • Management companies preparing a book of associations at once. See how we plug in.

How it works

  • Contract and vendor inventory. One list of every active agreement with dollar values and renewal dates, so the board can see which ones land near or above the threshold.
  • Bid practice review. How recent work was solicited, how bids were collected and opened, and what was recorded in the minutes.
  • Documentation check. What exists, what is missing, and what a future board would be able to find on its own.
  • Disclosure practice. How relationships between the board, the management company, and bidders are surfaced and recorded today.
  • Written readiness picture. Findings and a prioritized action list with owners and dates, plus the questions worth taking to your attorney.
  • Board walkthrough. We present it, answer questions, and help your board sequence the work across the months you have left.

What you get

One written review, a contract inventory your board can maintain, an action list in priority order, and a short list of items for counsel. Boards that would rather start with the free version can work from the Three-Bid Documentation Template or read the SF 1750 Three-Bid Guide first.

TruPoint is a construction and project advisor. This review is about process and documentation readiness, and it works alongside your association's attorney, who owns the legal questions.
