DVBE Incentive Information for RESD Construction Contracts

The Department of General Services (DGS) established a Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) Incentive pursuant to a revision of the Military and Veterans Code § Sections 999.5(a) & (d), California Code of Regulations §1896.98 et seq. and Government Codes §14600, §14615 & §14838(F).

DVBE has two inter-related aspects to the program:

1. The DVBE Participation Program – where bidders must meet or exceed the required participation goal percentage set for the solicitation.

2. The DVBE Incentive Program which gives bidders an opportunity to improve their bid status based on the participation percentage attained from the DVBE Participation Program.

The DVBE incentive is only used during the bid evaluation process and is applied by reducing the bid price by the amount of incentive as computed from the lowest responsive and responsible bid price.

The percentage of incentive given is equal to the percentage of DVBE participation achieved from a minimum of 1.00 % to a maximum of 5.00 % not to exceed a total of $500,000. The SB Preference (5% up to $50,000) may be combined with the DVBE Incentive but will not exceed a combined total of $500,000.

Application of the incentive shall not displace an award to a certified Small Business by a non-small business.

Under the incentive program, a bidder claiming the “Non-Small Business preference” is considered a “non-small” business.

When a contractor achieves participation with a DVBE company, the contractor fulfills two needs: 1) it fulfills the required DVBE participation and 2) it gets an incentive to lower their competitive bid price for evaluation purposes only.

Application Check the appropriate box in the Bid Form requesting the DVBE Incentive and also list the participating DVBE company(s) in the DVBE Summary giving the subcontractor’s monetary bid amount and the percentage of the Prime’s bid.

Examples of the DVBE Incentive program being applied as recommended above:

Example (1) #1 Bidder A – (with 2.5% DVBEparticipation)

Less the Incentive (2.5% of $1,270,000) Adjusted Bid Price of #1 Low Bid

$1,270,000

- 31,750

$1,238,250

#2 Bidder B – (with 5% DVBE participation) Less the Incentive (5% of $1,270,000)

Adjusted Bid Price of #2 Bid

$1,300,000

- 63,500

$1,236,500

Bidder A’s Adjusted Bid Price of $1,238,250 is higher than Bidder B’s Adjusted Bid Price of $1,236,500.

Award will be made to Bidder B for $1,300,000. Bidder B holds the Low Bid position with the additional DVBE Incentive.

Example (2)

#1 Bidder A – (with Small BusinessPreference) $1,250,000

#2 Bidder B – (with 5% DVBE participation) Less the Incentive (5% of 1,250,000)

Adjusted bid for comparison

$1,300,000

- 62,500

$1,237,500

Bidder A with a SB preference cannot be displaced by Bidder B utilizing only the incentive. Bidder B would have had to have been a SB in order to displace Bidder A.

Example (3) #1 Bidder A – (with 1.15 % DVBEparticipation)

Less the incentive (1.15% of $1,200,000) Adjusted bid for comparison

$1,200,000 -13,800

$1,186,200

#2 Bidder B – (with Non-Small Business Preferenceand 3.25% DVBE participation)

Less the preference (5% or $50,000 max) Less the incentive (3.25% of$1,200,000)

Adjusted bid for comparison

$1,250,000 -50,000 -39,000

$1,161,000

#3 Bidder C – (with Small Business Preference and 15.89%DVBE participation) (5% max. incentive)

Less the preference (5% or $50,000 max) Less the incentive (5% max of$1,200,000)

Adjusted bid for comparison

$1,275,000 -50,000 -60,000

$1,165,000

Applying only the preference, Bidder A and Bidder B would have the same bid price of $1,200,000, but Bidder B would have the lower bid because of the Non-Small Business Preference. Bidder B would thus be in the #1 position. But when adding in the incentive, calculations are based off the original low bid price of Bidder A. Thus, Bidder B has the lowest adjusted bid price at $1,161,000. Even though Bidder B claims a 3.25% incentive, Bidder B cannot displace Bidder C for the #1 position because Bidder C isa certified Small Business and cannot be replaced by a non-small business. The award would be made to Bidder C for $1,275,000. The order would be as follows:

#1 - Bidder C, #2 - Bidder B, #3 - BidderA.

Example (4) #1 Bidder A – (with 2.15% DVBEparticipation)

Less the incentive (2.15% of $93,000) Adjusted bid for comparison

$93,000.00

- 1,999.50

$91,000.50

#2 Bidder B – (with 8.97% DVBE participation) Less the incentive (5% of $93,000)

Adjusted bid for comparison

$94,600.00

- 4,650.00

$89,950.00

#3 Bidder C – (with Small Business Preference) Less the preference (5% of $93,000)

Adjusted bid for comparison

$99,500.00

- 4,650.00

$94,850.00

Adjusting bids for evaluation gives Bidder B, with a higher incentive than Bidder A, a lower adjusted bid.

Even though SB preference can take precedence over the incentive program, Bidder C’s adjusted bid is still higher than Bidder B’s original bid before the incentive was applied.

The award order would be as follows: #1 - Bidder B, #2 - Bidder C, #3 - BidderA.

Preferences for Certified Small Business (SB) &

Non-Certified Small Business Contractors

This is an overview showing the benefits of being a State certified Small Business or utilizing Small Businesses in the construction, service, manufacturing and non-manufacturing fields.

Small Business Benefits:

State agencies should award at least 25% of their annual contracting dollars tocertified Small Business.

The State gives a 5% preference to certified Small Businesses through the bidding process.

Government Code Section 14838.7 allows State agencies to solicit public works SBfirms directly for projects up to $281,000 (effective 1/30/2014).

Agencies use the Department of General Service’s certified Small Business firmdatabase to find suppliers, services, manufacturers and contractors.

Prompt payment.

Small Business Preferences:

The Small Business Procurement and Contract Act (Government Code, Section 14835) was enacted to afford small businesses which includes Microbusinesses (MB) the same opportunities as their non-SB competitors. A 5 % preference is offered during the bidding process. Under the Prompt Payment Act, the State must pay a certified SB higher interest penalties for late payment of an undisputed invoice.

Non-Small Business Subcontractor Preference Departments offer a 5 % preference to businesses that commit 25 % of their bid to CAcertified Small Businesses.

What is the 5% Preference? State law allows certified SB’s, certified MB’s, and businesses who subcontract with certified SB/MB firm(s) to receive a 5% bidding preference on Public Works projects. The preference is used only for computation purposes up to a maximum amount of $50,000, to determine the winning bidder. The contract is awarded at the actual bid amount.

Applying and Calculating the 5% Preference:

Take 5% of the lowest bid (Business A) and subtract that dollar amount from the bidder requesting the SB or non-SB preference (Business B). Compare the original bid of Business A with Business B using the Preference. If the bid with the preference is less, Business B will be lower. But, if the bid with the preference is greater, Business A remains the lower.

Example:

Business A Business B with 5% preference Low Bid $250,000 x 5 % Preference Factor $12,500

Bid $260,000 Preference Factor - 12,500

$247,500

Conclusion: After applying the 5% preference, Business B now falls into low bidder positionwith an adjusted bid below that of Business A. Therefore, the contract is awarded to Business B, but at the original bid amount of $260,000.
