2. A responsive bidder is one who submits a bid that meets all of the submission requirements and minimum qualification requirements stated in the IFB. A responsible bidder is one that is trustworthy and possesses the necessary quality, fitness and capacity to satisfactorily perform the proposed work. Bidders who are determined to not be responsible or who submit non-responsive bids shall have their bids rejected.

3. Responsive bids shall be considered evidence of the proposer’s responsibility. DSH reserves the right to reevaluate a bidder’s responsibility prior to award and is in no way limited to submitted bid packages in making a determination as to a bidder’s responsibility. In determining whether a bidder is responsible, DSH may require bidders to submit further evidence of their qualifications at such times, and under such conditions, as it may require.

1. Bids that contain false or misleading statements, or which provide references which do not support an attribute or condition claimed by the bidder, may be rejected.

D. Intention to Award:

1. DSH intends, if an award is made, to award to the lowest responsive responsible bidder in accordance with Section V, Preference and Incentive Programs.

E. Tie Breaker:

1. Should two or more bidders submit bids that, after the calculation of preferences as described in Section V, Preference and Incentive Programs, result in a tie, DSH shall resolve the tie as follows:

i. In accordance with Government Code section 14838, subdivision (f), in the event of a precise tie between a small business or microbusiness, and a disabled veteran-owned small business or microbusiness, the agreement shall be awarded to the disabled veteran-owned small business or microbusiness.

ii. In accordance with the California Code of Regulations, title 2, section 1896.6, if, after the application of the small business preference, the bid of the small business is equal to the lowest priced bid from a responsible non-small business, the agreement shall be awarded to the small business.

iii. In all other circumstances a coin toss witnessed by two DSH admin staff shall determine the proposed awardee.

F. Award and Protest:

1. Whenever an agreement is awarded under a procedure which provides for competitive bidding, but the agreement is not to be awarded to the low bidder, the low bidder shall be notified by telegram, electronic facsimile transmission, overnight courier, electronic mail, or personal delivery five (5) working days prior to the award of the agreement.

2. Upon written request by any bidder, notice of the proposed award shall be posted in a public place in the office of the awarding agency at least five (5) working days prior to awarding the agreement.

3. If any bidder, prior to the award of agreement, files a written protest with the DGS and DSH, including the grounds that the (protesting) bidder is the lowest responsive responsible bidder, the agreement shall not be awarded until either the protest has been withdrawn or the DGS has decided the matter.

4. Within five (5) days after filing the initial protest, the protesting bidder shall file with the DGS and DSH a detailed written statement specifying the grounds for the protest. It is suggested that any protest be submitted by certified or registered mail.

G. Disposition of Bids:

1. Upon bid opening, all documents submitted in response to this IFB will become the property of the State of California and will be regarded as public records under the California Public Records Act (Government Code section 6250, et seq.) and subject to review by the public.

Should a bidder desire to keep any or all components of their response to this IFB confidential, the bidder would need to obtain a protective order from a court of competent jurisdiction.

H. Tax Delinquency Disclaimer:

1. Pursuant to the Public Contract Code section 10295.4, persons or companies identified as the largest tax delinquents by the Franchise Tax Board (FTB) or the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) are ineligible to enter into any agreement with the state for non-IT goods or services. Any agreement entered into in violation of section 10295.4 is void and unenforceable.

Prior to executing any state agreement or renewal for non-IT goods or services, DSH shall verify that the proposed awardee(s) is not on a prohibited list by checking both the FTB and CDTFA websites. The established lists can be found at:

i. FTB: https://www.ftb.ca.gov/about-ftb/newsroom/top-500-past-due-balances/corporate-income-tax-list.html

ii. CDTFA: https://www.cdtfa.ca.gov/taxes-and-fees/top500.htm

V. PREFERENCE AND INCENTIVE PROGRAMS

A. Small Business Preference:

1. In accordance with Government Code section 14838.5, et seq. and California Code of

Regulations, title 2, section 1896, et seq., a five (5) percent preference will be granted to bidders properly certified as a California Small Business (SB), Microbusiness (MB), or Non- Small Business (NSB) with a Small Business subcontracting for a minimum of 25% of the bid amount. A five (5) percent preference will be granted to bidders certified as a Non-Profit Veteran Service Agency in accordance with the Military and Veterans Code section 999.50.

Applications must be on file at the Office of Small Business and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise Certification by 5:00 p.m. on bid opening day. The preference adjustment for awards based on low price cannot exceed $50,000.00.

2. For solicitations where bidders are asked to submit hourly rates, the preference shall be calculated solely on the basis of that rate.

3. For solicitations where bidders are asked to submit bids based upon a percentage of Medicare, preferences shall be calculated solely on the basis of that percentage.

4. Small Business Preference Example (Single Award):

Bidder A Bidder B Bidder C

Bidder Status NSB NSB w/ 25% SB Preference Applicable? X X

Original Bid Amount $100,000 $105,000 $102,500 Apparent Low Bid X

Pref. Amount (5% of Low Bidder) $0 $5,000 $5,000 Revised Bid $100,000 $100,000 $97,500

Revised Lowest Bidder X

5. Explanation of Example:

The lowest bidder at the time of bid opening is Bidder A, which is a NSB not claiming a SB subcontracting preference. Since both Bidder B and Bidder C claim a SB Preference, five (5) percent of Bidder A’s bid is subtracted from those of Bidder B and C. In the example above, five (5) percent of $100,000 is $5,000. After applying these preferences, Bidder C’s revised bid ($97,500) is less than the other bids, making them the revised apparent low bidder.

Note: since the preferences are used only for computation purposes to determine the successful bidder, if an agreement was awarded to Bidder C, it would be at the original $102,500 amount.

B. Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise Program and Incentive:

1. DSH hereby waives the mandatory Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) participation requirement for this IFB.

2. An incentive for bidders who include DVBE participation is available and encouraged for this IFB. For evaluation purposes only, DSH shall apply an incentive to bids that include California certified DVBE participation and confirmed by DSH. The incentive amount will vary in conjunction with the percentage of DVBE participation in accordance with the following formula:

DVBE Incentive Participation DVBE Incentive 5% or Over 5%

4% to 4.99% Inclusive 4% 3% to 3.99% Inclusive 3% 2% to 2.99% Inclusive 2% 1% to 1.99% Inclusive 1%

3. For solicitations where bidders are asked to submit hourly rates, the incentive shall be calculated solely on the basis of that rate.

4. For solicitations where bidders are asked to submit bids based upon a percentage of Medicare, the incentive shall be calculated solely on the basis of that percentage.

5. The net bid price of responsive bids with DVBE participation will be reduced (for evaluation purposes only) by the amount of DVBE incentive as applied to the lowest responsive net bid price. If the #1 ranked, responsive, responsible bid is a California certified small business, the only bidders eligible for the incentive will be other California certified small businesses. The incentive adjustment for awards based on low price cannot exceed 5% or $50,000.00, whichever is less, of the #1 ranked net bid price. When used in combination with a Small Business preference adjustment, the cumulative adjustment amount cannot exceed $100,000.00.

6. Information submitted by the bidder to claim the DVBE incentive will be verified by DSH. Only the DVBEs who shall perform a commercially useful function relevant to the Scope of Work included in this IFB may be used to qualify the bidder for a DVBE incentive. All DVBE bidders and their proposed subcontractors must submit a copy of the DVBE Declarations Form (Std. 843). See Attachment 13.

7. Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise Inventive Example (Single Award):

Bidder A Bidder B Bidder C

Bidder Status NSB NSB w/ 3% DVBE Incentive Applicable? X X Original Bid Amount $100,000 $105,000 $102,500

Apparent Low Bid X

Incentive Qualified 3% 5% Incent. Amount (% of Low Bidder) $0 $3,000 $5,000

Revised Bid $100,000 $102,000 $97,500

8. Explanation of Example:

The lowest bidder at the time of bid opening is Bidder A, which is a NSB not claiming a DVBE subcontracting incentive. Bidder B claims (and qualifies for) a DVBE incentive of three (3) percent. Bidder C is a DVBE, which qualifies them for a five (5) percent incentive. To apply the incentive, three (3) percent of Bidder A’s bid is subtracted from Bidder B’s bid, resulting in a revised bid of $102,000. Five (5) percent of Bidder A’s bid is subtracted from Bidder C’s bid, resulting in a revised bid of $97,500. After applying the incentives, Bidder C’s revised bid ($97,500) is less than the other bids, making them the revised apparent low bidder.

Note: since the preferences are used only for computation purposes to determine the successful bidder, if an agreement was awarded to Bidder C, it would be at the original $102,500 amount.

C. Calculation of Multiple Preferences:

1. In the event that bidders qualify for the SB preference and/or the DVBE incentive, the SB preference shall be calculated first. In circumstances where DSH will award a single agreement as a result of this solicitation, in accordance with Government Code section 14838, subdivision (f), the DVBE incentive will not be calculated if, after the application of the SB preference, an SB bidder is the apparent low bidder unless another SB bidder is also a DVBE or has subcontracted with DVBE firms.

Note: in accordance with Government Code section 14838, subdivision (f), in the event of a precise tie between a small business or microbusiness, and a disabled veteran-owned small business or microbusiness, the agreement shall be awarded to the disabled veteran-owned small business or microbusiness.

2. Example of the Calculation of Multiple Preferences:

Bidder A Bidder B Bidder C Bidder D

Bidder Status NSB NSB w/ 25% DVBE SB SB Pref. Applicable? X X Original Bid Amount $100,000 $105,500 $103,000 $106,000

Apparent Low Bid X SB Pref. Amt. (5% of Low Bid) $0 $5,000 $0 $5,000

Revised Bid $100,000 $100,500 $103,000 $101,000 Revised Lowest Bidder X

DVBE Incentive Applicable? X Incentive Qualified 5%

Incent. Amt. (% of Low Bid) $0 $0 $5,000 $0 Revised Bid $100,000 $100,500 $98,000 $101,000

D. Other Preference Programs:

1. Additional preference programs exist and may be applicable. Specifically, the Target Area Contract Preference Act (TACPA). For information regarding these programs please see the following website: https://www.dgs.ca.gov/PD/Services/Page-Content/Procurement-Division- Services-List-Folder/Request-a-Target-Area-Contract-Preference.

E. Additional Small Business and Disabled Veteran Enterprise Information:

1. Adherence to the DVBE Requirements:

i. Failure of Contractor to seek substitution and adhere to the DVBE participation level identified in the bid or offer may be cause for agreement termination, recovery of damages under rights and remedies due to the State, and penalties as outlined in Military & Veterans Code section 999.9; Public Contract Code section 10115.10 or Public Contract Code section 4110 (applies to public works only). Contractor must immediately notify DSH’s SB/DVBE Advocate that the substitution of a DVBE subcontractor is requested.

ii. Failure of Contractor to adhere to the certification requirements of Military and Veterans Code section 999.5, subdivision (d) may be used as evidence of the bidder’s non-responsibility in future solicitations.

2. Commercially Useful Function (CUF) Disclaimer

Each certified SB/MB or DVBE must perform a commercially useful function. Bidders who are found to not be performing a CUF will have their bids deemed non-responsive. A SB/MB or DVBE is deemed to perform a commercially useful function when the business does all of the following:
