CALIFORNIA DISABLED VETERAN BUSINESS ENTERPRISE (DVBE)

PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS

(Revision Date 10-2021)

PLEASE READ THE REQUIREMENTS AND INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU

BEGIN.

AUTHORITY

The Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) Participation Goal Program for State contracts is established in Public Contract Code (PCC), §10115 et seq., Military and Veterans Code (MVC), §999 et seq., and California Code of Regulations (CCR), Title 2, §1896.61 et seq.

DVBE PARTICIPATION

The minimum percentage of DVBE participation is 3% for this solicitation unless another percentage is specified in the solicitation, or the solicitation is exempt from DVBE participation.

DVBE INCENTIVE

An incentive will be given to bidders who provide DVBE participation, unless stated elsewhere in the solicitation the DVBE Incentive has been exempted.

INTRODUCTION

The bidder must complete the identified form(s) and fully document that the mandatory minimum percent of DVBE participation will be met in order to comply with this solicitation’s DVBE program requirement or the bid may be considered non-responsive.

Information submitted by the Bidder to comply with this solicitation’s DVBE requirements will be verified by the State. If evidence of an alleged violation is found during the verification process, the State shall initiate an investigation, in accordance with the requirements of PCC §10115, et seq., and MVC §999 et seq., and follow the investigatory procedures required by 2 CCR §1896.91. Contractors found to be in violation of these provisions may be subject to suspension from doing business with the State of California, contract termination, civil penalties, and loss of State certifications.

Only State of California, Office of Small Business and DVBE Services (OSDS), certified Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises (hereafter called “DVBE”) who will perform a commercially useful function (CUF) shall be used to satisfy the DVBE requirements. The term “DVBE contractor, subcontractor or supplier” means any person or entity that satisfies the ownership (or management) and control requirements of §1896.81, is certified in accordance with §1896.84, and provides services or goods that contribute to the fulfillment of the contract requirements by performing a commercially useful function as required in MVC §999(B). Bidders must verify each DVBE subcontractor’s certification status with OSDS to ensure DVBE participation eligibility prior to submitting bids. A DVBE that is not certified at the time of award or does not meet and maintain certification cannot count towards an awarding department’s 3-percent goal. {MVC §999.5(c)}

COMMERCIALLY USEFUL FUNCTION DEFINITION

As defined in MVC §999(B), a person or an entity is deemed to perform a "commercially useful function" if a person or entity does all of the following:

• Is responsible for the execution of a distinct element of the work of the contract.

• Carries out the obligation by actually performing, managing, or supervising the work involved.

• Performs work that is normal for its business services and functions.

• Is responsible, with respect to products, inventories, materials, and supplies required for the contract, for negotiating price, determining quality and quantity, ordering, installing, if applicable, and making payment.

• Is not further subcontracting a portion of the work that is greater than that expected tobe subcontracted by normal industry practices.

(Revision Date 10-2021) A contractor, subcontractor, or supplier will not be considered to perform a “commercially useful function” if the contractor's, subcontractor's, or supplier's role is limited to that of an extra participant in a transaction, contract, or project through which funds are passed in order to obtain the appearance of disabled veteran business enterprise participation.

DVBE SUBSTITUTION

Bidders must use the DVBE subcontractors or suppliers proposed in the bid. Any substitutions must be requested in writing to the awarding department and approved by both the awarding department and OSDS in writing prior to the commencement of any work by the proposed DVBE. The substitution must be to perform the same work and shall maintain the minimum level of DVBE participation stated in original bid. {MVC §999.5(g)}

DVBE SUBCONTRACTOR REPORTING

Bidders awarded a contract with a commitment to use DVBE subcontractors must certify, upon completion of contract, that all payments have been made to the DVBE subcontractors by submitting the Prime Contractor’s - DVBE Subcontracting Report (STD 817). For such contracts awarded on or after January 1, 2021, the department will withhold $10,000 from the final payment, or the full payment if the final payment is less than $10,000 from prime contractors, until the complete and accurate STD 817 is received. Failure to submit this certification after given the opportunity to cure, will result in the department permanently deducting $10,000 from the final payment or the full payment if less than

$10,000. {MVC §999.7}

Prime contractor shall provide proof of payments made to DVBE subcontractors at the request of the department. The department shall keep all information provided by the prime contractor regarding the DVBE program requirements in the procurement file for six years. {MVC §999.55}

PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY

To meet the DVBE program requirements, bidders must complete and fully document compliance with the following:

DVBE BID INCENTIVE

Unless stated elsewhere in the solicitation that the DVBE incentive has been waived, in accordance with Section 999.5(a) of the Military and Veterans Code an incentive will be given to bidders who provide DVBE participation. For evaluation purposes only, the State shall apply an incentive to bids that propose California certified DVBE participation as identified on the Bidder Declaration DGS PD- 05-105, (located elsewhere within the solicitation document) and confirmed by the State. The incentive amount for awards based on low price will vary in conjunction with the percentage of DVBE participation. Unless a table that replaces the one below has been expressly established elsewhere within the solicitation, the following percentages will apply for awards based on low price.

As applicable: (1) Awards based on low price - the net bid price of responsive bids 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 California certified small businesses. The incentive adjustment for awards based on low price cannot exceed 5% or $100,000, whichever is less, of the #1 ranked net bid price. When used in combination with a preference adjustment, the cumulative adjustment amount cannot exceed $100,000.
