Replace section 2-1.23 with:

2-1.23 SMALL BUSINESS ENTERPRISE PARTICIPATION GOAL REQUIREMENT

2-1.23A General

Section 2-1.23 applies if an SBE participation goal requirement is shown on the Notice to Bidders.

The SBE participation goal requirement is in addition to any DVBE goal shown on the Notice to Bidders and the DVBE requirements in section 2-1.22.

Make work available to SBEs and select work parts consistent with the available SBEs, including subcontractors, suppliers, service providers, and truckers.

Meet the SBE participation goal requirement shown on the Notice to Bidders. A bid that demonstrates an SBE participation commitment less than the SBE participation goal requirement is nonresponsive.

Each listed SBE must be certified as a small business or small business for the purpose of public works by 5:00 p.m. on the bid opening date. The complete application and any required substantiating documentation must be received by the Department of General Services by 5:00 p.m. on the bid opening date.

The Department of General Services determines whether an SBE was certified on the bid opening date.

The Department of Transportation confirms an SBE’s certification status.

2-1.23B SBE Submittals

Submit SBE information under section 2-1.33.

For the SBE participation goal requirement, submit the following:

1. Completed Small Business Enterprise – Commitment form. Failure to submit the completed form by 4 p.m. on the 4th business day after bid opening may result in a nonresponsive bid.

2. Copy of the quote for each SBE shown on the Small Business Enterprise – Commitment form that describes the type and dollar amount of work shown on the form. Quotes are not required for work that will be completed by SBE prime bidders. Failure to submit a copy of the quote for each SBE listed on the Commitment form by 4 p.m. on the 4th business day after bid opening may result in disallowance of the SBE’s participation.

3. Completed Small Business Enterprise – Confirmation form from each SBE listed on the Commitment form. The form for each SBE is required to establish that the SBE will be participating in the Contract for the type and dollar amount of work shown on the form. Failure to submit completed Confirmation forms for each SBE listed on the Commitment form by 4 p.m. on the 4th business day after bid opening may result in disallowance of the SBE’s participation.

4. If an SBE is participating as a joint venture partner, submit a copy of the joint venture agreement.

The Department may contact you and SBEs to clarify quotes and supporting documentation.

If you elect, at time of bid, to pursue the optional small business or non-small business preference, see section 2-1.24 for the requirements arising from your request for the preference. SBE participation listed to meet the SBE participation goal requirement should not be listed for the preference.

Replace section 2-1.24 with:

2-1.24 SMALL BUSINESS AND NON–SMALL BUSINESS SUBCONTRACTOR PREFERENCES

2-1.24A General

Section 2-1.24 applies to a non-federal-aid contract.

The Department applies small business preferences and non–small business preferences under Govt Code § 14835 et seq. and 2 CA Code of Regs § 1896 et seq.

Any contractor, subcontractor, supplier, or service provider who qualifies as a small business or small business for the purpose of public works is encouraged to apply for certification as an SBE by submitting its application to the Department of General Services, Office of Small Business and DVBE Services.

The Department of General Services determines whether an SBE was certified on the bid opening date.

The Department of Transportation confirms an SBE’s certification status before applying the small business or non-small business preference.

Contract award is based on the total bid, not the reduced bid.

Pursuant to Govt Code § 14838, SBE participation listed on the Small Business Enterprise – Commitment form used to meet the SBE participation goal requirement should not be listed on the Certified Small Business Listing for the Non-Small Business Preference form. Listing the same SBE participation on both the Small Business Enterprise – Commitment form and on the Certified Small Business Listing for the Non-Small Business Preference form may result in disallowance of the SBE’s participation toward the small business or non-small business preference.

2-1.24B Small Business Preference

The Department allows a bidder certified as an SBE by the Department of General Services, Office of Small Business and DVBE Services, a preference if:

1. Bidder submitted a completed Request for Small Business Preference or Non–Small Business Preference form with its bid

2. Low bidder did not request the preference or is not certified as a small business

The Bidder's signature on the Request for Small Business Preference or Non–Small Business Preference form certifies that the Bidder is certified as an SBE at the date and time of bid or has submitted a complete application to the Department of General Services. The complete application and any required substantiating documentation must be received by the Department of General Services by 5:00 p.m. on the bid opening date.

The small business preference is a reduction for bid comparison in the total bid submitted by the small business contractor by the lesser of the following amounts:

1. 5 percent of the verified total bid of the low bidder

2. $50,000

If the Department determines that a certified small business bidder is the low bidder after the application of the small business preference, the Department does not consider a request for non–small business preference.

2-1.24C Non–Small Business Subcontractor Preference

At time of bid, the Department allows a bidder not certified as an SBE by the Department of General Services, Office of Small Business and DVBE Services, the option of requesting the non-small business subcontractor preference. If a bidder elects to pursue that option at the time of bid, the bidder is required to meet the corresponding commitment.

For the non-small business subcontractor preference, submit the following:

1. Completed Request for Small Business Preference or Non–Small Business Preference form with your bid

2. Completed Certified Small Business Listing for the Non–Small Business Preference form which shows you are subcontracting at least 25 percent to certified SBEs

Each listed SBE must be certified as a small business or small business for the purpose of public works by 5:00 p.m. on the bid opening date. The complete application and any required substantiating documentation must be received by the Department of General Services by 5:00 p.m. on the bid opening date.

Failure to submit a completed Certified Small Business Listing for the Non–Small Business Preference form by 4 p.m. on the 4th business day after bid opening will result in a nonresponsive bid.

The non–small business subcontractor preference is a reduction for bid comparison in the total bid submitted by the non–small business contractor requesting the preference by the lesser of the following amounts:

1. 5 percent of the verified total bid of the low bidder

2. $50,000
