5. BID EVALUATION PROCESS

5.1 Bid Evaluation

a. In determining the amount bid by each bidder, the City shall disregard mathematical errors in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division that appear obvious on the face of the bid. When such a mathematical error appears on the face of the bid, the City shall have the right to correct such error and to compute the total amount bid by the bidder based on the corrected figure or figures.

b. When an item price is required, and it is inconsistent with the extended price listed for the total quantity requested (item price times estimated quantity needed), the item price shall prevail over the extended price for the item unless, in the sole discretion of the City, such a procedure would be inconsistent with the intent of the bid process. The total paid for each such item of work shall be based upon the item price and not the total extended price.

c. Should the bid contain only a total extended price for the item and the item price is omitted, the City shall determine the item price by dividing the total extended price by the estimated quantity needed, as listed in this RFB.

d. If the bid contains neither the item price nor the price for the item, then it shall be deemed incomplete and the bid shall be disregarded.

e. If prospective bidders are bidding an item “or equal,” the bidders shall list the manufacturer’s name and product number of the item offered in the space provided. If such information is not provided, it will be assumed that the bidder is offering the exact item specified. The City’s decision as to whether an item is an equal to the item specified shall be final.

5.2 Determination of the Lowest Responsible Bidder

Sacramento City Code 3.56.020 provides that the lowest responsible bidder shall be determined as follows:

a. In determining whether a bidder is responsible, consideration shall be given to: (i) the quality and performance of the supplies to be provided by the bidder; (ii) the ability, capacity and skill of the bidder to perform the contract or effectuate the transaction; (iii) the ability of the bidder to perform the contract or effectuate the transaction within the time specified, without delay; (iv) the character, integrity, reputation, judgment, experience and efficiency of the bidder; (v) the quality of the bidder's performance on previous purchases by, or contracts with, the City; (vi) the ability of the bidder to provide future maintenance, repair parts and services for the supplies provided.

b. Based on the information provided in the bids, the City Council or the City Manager, as the case may be, shall identify those bids that are subject at the time of bid opening to the City's local sales or use tax under the provisions of Part 1.5 of Division 2 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code and Chapter 3.24 of the City Code. The lowest responsive, responsible bidder shall be determined after the amount of local sales or use tax that would be received by the City is deducted from such bids. This deduction shall be in addition to the application of any bid price preferences authorized.

c. The City Council may by resolution, from time to time, adopt programs or procedures for providing bid price preferences, including but not limited to, preferences to promote the participation and utilization of local business enterprises, energy conservation and sustainability in the City's contracting for supplies and nonprofessional services. The lowest responsible bidder shall be the responsible bidder whose bid price is

Form Revision Date 1/16/25 10 the lowest after all bid prices are calculated to include any such preferences. The calculation of such preferences shall be in addition to any deduction of sales or use tax required.

5.3 Local Business Sales or Use Tax

d. The lowest responsible bidder shall be determined after the amount of local sales or use tax that would be received by the City is deducted. The current rate at which such local sales or use tax is received by the City is one percent (1%). Therefore, in evaluating bids to determine the lowest responsible bidder, bids that are subject to this tax at the time of opening shall have an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the taxable total deducted from the bids. This deduction shall be in addition to the application of any price preferences or other deductions authorized by the City Code. Such deductions shall be made for bid evaluation purposes only. Contract awards shall reflect the actual prices submitted.

e. If this RFB is for Goods and Services, respondents must identify all taxable materials on a separate line item(s) from services to receive this price preference.

5% LBE Preference Program

Note: Bidders must provide responses to the following items in order to qualify for the 5% preference. This should only be completed by the prime bidder.

LBE FIVE PERCENT (5%) PREFERNCE

For contracts under $250,000, firms that qualify as an LBE will receive a 5% preference on all City procurement opportunities. For professional service contracts only, this preference also applies to procurement opportunities of $250,000 or more.

A bid or quotation submitted by a firm that qualifies as an LBE will receive a 5% bid evaluation preference for the purpose of determining the lowest responsible bidder.

However, this reduction only applies for bid evaluation purposes, and the resulting contract or purchase order will reflect the actual amount bid by the LBE.
