This is a Certification of Business Enterprise (CBE) exhibit file related to the County of Los Angeles Department of Economic Opportunity's Community Forest Management Plan Tree Watering Project, involving multiple county departments including the Department of Public Works, Chief Sustainability Office, Department of Public Health, and Department of Parks and Recreation. The project involves planting 1,600 new trees across unincorporated Los Angeles County, with 500 trees designated for county parks and 1,100 trees along residential streets and corridors as part of Early Action Implementation. The initiative aims to enhance climate resilience, air and water quality, and public health outcomes through community forest development. The contract will require the selected organization to provide tree watering services and ongoing management support to ensure the survival and health of newly planted trees throughout the county.

The file serves as a certification document for small business enterprise participation, establishing eligibility and compliance requirements for contractors responding to this solicitation. The CBE certification exhibit would typically detail the contractor's business classification, ownership structure, and commitment to employing targeted work force populations or meeting local business participation goals as required by Los Angeles County. This documentation is essential for demonstrating contractor qualification and supporting the county's commitment to equitable procurement practices and community economic development objectives through the forestry management initiative.
