Small Business (SB) Notice 5% Small Business Preference

What is a California Certified Small Business (SB)?

For a business to be considered a Small Business (SB), they must be certified with the State of California - Department of General Services in accordance with California Code of Regulations, Title 2, Section 1896.94.

State of California - Natural Resources Agency

DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION

Your business may be eligible if it meets all of the following:

• Must be independently owned and operated.

• Cannot be dominant in its field of operation.

• Must have its principal office located in California.

• Must have its owners (or officers in the case of a corporation) domiciled in California.

• Together with its affiliates, be either:

° A business with 100 or fewer employees, and an average annual gross receipts of $14 million or less over the previous three tax years, or ° A manufacturer with 100 or fewer employees.

• Microbusiness: A small business will automatically be designated as a microbusiness if gross annual receipts, together with all affiliates, are less than $3,500,000 or, the small business is a manufacturer with 25 or fewer employees.

Please see the following website for more information about SB certification benefits and eligibility requirements: http://www.pd.dgs.ca.gov/smbus/sbcert.htm

What is the SB Preference?

State law allows certified small business (SB) and microbusiness (MB) firms to receive a 5% bidding preference on applicable state solicitations. The 5% preference is also available for non-certified businesses who subcontract 25% of contract amount with a certified SB/MB.

The effect of the preference is to help SBs/MBs be more competitive in the bid process, thereby enhancing state contract awards directly or indirectly to SB/MB. The preference is only used for computation purposes to determine the winning bidder, the contract is awarded at the actual bid amount.

http://www.pd.dgs.ca.gov/smbus/sbpref.htm

In no event shall the SB preference or non-SB subcontracting preference exceed $50,000 in any single bid.

Bid After 5% Preference

$30,750

$28,975

$29,520

$28,421

DPR 478 (Page 2 of 3)

2 $28,975 Does not claim to be a small business

3 $29,520 Claims small business status, but their CA certification has expired

4 $29,870 Claims small business and is CA Certified

Bidder Bid Amount Small Business Status

1 $30,750 Claims small business status, but is not CA certified

How does the 5% Small Business Preference Work?

The following example shows how the 5% preference computation works, and how it is used to determine a successful bidder.

Computation Method

Five percent is applied to the lowest (non-certified small business) responsible bid ([Bidder 2] $28,975 x .05 = $1448.75).

The preference amount ($1,448.75) is subtracted from the certified small business (Bidder 4’s) bid amount ($29,870 - $1,448.75 = $28,421.25).

Bidder 4’s computed total is $28,421.25, making them the lowest bidder.

The contract is awarded to Bidder 4 for $29,870.

NOTE: The 5% preference is used only for computation purposes to determine the successful bidder and does not alter the amounts of the actual bids.

Documentation

Please provide a printout from the eProcurement website showing your certification and expiration date. https://www.bidsync.com/DPXBisCASB

If a non-certified firm is claiming the SB Preference based on subcontracting at least 25% of the contract to a certified SB/MB, you must include a complete DPR 85 with your bid.

Information submitted by the bidders to claim the SB Preference 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 the PCC §10115, et seq., and MVC §999 et seq., and follow the investigatory procedures required by the 2 CCR §1896.80. Contractors found to be in violation of certain provisions may be subject to loss of certification, penalties and/or contract termination.

Only DVBEs who perform a commercially useful function relevant to this solicitation, may be used to satisfy the DVBE participation and/or incentive program requirements.

Commercially Useful Function Definition California Code of Regulations, Title 2, § 1896.61(l): The term "DVBE contractor, subcontractor or supplier" means any person or entity that satisfies the ownership (or management) and control requirements of §1896.61(f); is certified in accordance with §1896.70; and provides services or goods that contribute to the fulfillment of the contract requirements by performing a commercially useful function.

• the amount each DVBE received from the prime contractor

• that all payments under the contract have been made to the DVBE(s)

• the actual percentage of DVBE participation that was achieved

DPR 479IP (Page 3 of 6)

You will be required to report to DPR the actual dollars spent with each DVBE subcontractor on DPR 489. If awarded the contract you will receive this form at the completion of the contract. A person or entity that knowingly provides false information shall be subject to a civil penalty for each violation. (Military & Veterans Code (M&VC) § 999.5(d))

What is the DVBE Incentive Program?

The DVBE Incentive Program was established by statute and applies to contracts solely financed by State funds. This program is separate from the DVBE Participation Program. The incentive is designed to encourage bidders to partner with DVBE subcontractors.

The incentive may be combined with other incentives and preferences up to an established cap of $100,000.00. The incentive is used only for evaluation purposes and does not alter the amounts of the actual bids.

Who is eligible to receive the incentive?

Any responsive bidder who has attained more than the required amount (6%) of DVBE participation per the solicitation instructions.

Documentation

To be considered a reponsive bidder, bidders must document at least 6% DVBE participation commitment by completing and submitting the following forms:

• DPR 486, Bidder’s DVBE Participation

• STD. 843, DVBE Declarations

DPR 486, Bidder’s DVBE Participation: The DPR 486 is used to document the proposed prime contractor and subcontractors, including their roles and responsibilities. The form must be submitted with the bid package.

STD. 843, DVBE Declarations: All disabled veteran owners and disabled veteran managers of the DVBE must complete the form and submit it with the bid package. A STD. 843 needs to be submitted by every DVBE supplier who is part of a bid whether they are the prime or a sub.

Bids that fail to submit the completed required forms to confirm the level of DVBE participation will not be eligible to receive the DVBE incentive and may be declared unresponsive due to DVBE participation requirements. Clerical and typographical errors on these forms may be corrected at the State’s sole discretion.

Information submitted by the bidders to claim the DVBE incentive(s) 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 the PCC §10115, et seq., and MVC §999 et seq., and follow the investigatory procedures required by the 2 CCR §1896.80.

Contractors found to be in violation of certain provisions may be subject to loss of certification, penalties and/or contract termination.
