Bidder's attention is directed to the Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) Participation Requirement for bidders, as outlined in the accompanying bid package.

Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) Notice

What is a Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE)?

For a business to be considered a Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE), 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.

Please see the following website for more information about DVBE certification benefits and eligibility requirements:

http://www.pd.dgs.ca.gov/smbus/dvbecert.com.

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.

As defined in MVC §999, 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 not further subcontracting a portion of the work that is greater than is expected by normal industry practices.

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.

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 DVBE Participation Requirement for this solicitation has been waived – however the DVBE Incentive still applies.

There is no minimum DVBE participation requirement for this solicitation.

DVBE Incentive for Invitation For Bid (IFB) (Participation Requirement Waived)

State of California - Natural Resources Agency

DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION

DPR 479IW (Page 2 of 5)

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.

PLEASE NOTE: If, for this agreement, a contractor made a commitment to achieve disabled veteran business enterprise (DVBE) participation, within 60 days of receiving final payment under this agreement (or within such other time period as may be specified elsewhere in this agreement) the contractor must certify in a report to the awarding department:

• the total amount the prime contractor received under the contract

• the name and address of the DVBE(s) that participated in the performance of the contract

• 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

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))

Who is eligible to receive the incentive?

Any responsive and responsible bidder who has attained .01% DVBE participation or higher.

Documentation

Bidders must document 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. 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.

How does the DVBE Incentive Program Work?

The DVBE incentive is used only for evaluation purposes to determine the successful bidder and does not alter the amounts of the actual bids. A dollar cap of $100,000.00 is set for all combined incentives and preferences.

For contracts to be awarded based on the Low Price Method, the incentive amount is equal to a percentage of the lowest responsive and responsible bid based on the amount of DVBE participation in the bid being evaluated per Table A below. The Computation Method does not include the small business preference; however, the small business preference may be applied and may affect the application of the incentive and the outcome of the ranking.

Such acts shall include but shall not be limited to acts of God, fire, flood, earthquake, other natural disaster, nuclear accident, strike, lockout, riot, freight embargo, public regulated utility, or governmental statutes or regulations superimposed after the fact. If a delay or failure in performance by Contractor arises out of a default of its subcontractor, and if such default of its subcontractor, arises out of causes beyond the control of both Contractor and subcontractor, and without the fault or negligence of either of them, Contractor shall not be liable for damages of such delay or failure, unless the supplies or services to be furnished by subcontractor were obtainable from other sources in sufficient time to permit Contractor to meet the required performance schedule.

Unless otherwise provided in this agreement, any dispute concerning a question of fact arising under this agreement which cannot be resolved informally shall be decided by the following two-step procedures.

Contractor must provide written notice of the particulars of such disputes to the Project Manager or his/her duly appointed representative. The Project Manager must respond in writing within ten (10) working days of receipt of the written notice of dispute. Should Contractor disagree with the Project Manager’s decision, Contractor may appeal to the second level. Pending the decision on appeal, Contractor shall proceed diligently with the performance of this agreement in accordance with the Project Manager’s decision. The second level appeal must indicate why the Project Manager’s decision is unacceptable, attaching to it Contractor’s original statement of the dispute with supporting documents, along with a copy of the Project Manager’s response. The second level appeal shall be sent to the Deputy Director of Administrative Services or his/her duly appointed representative.

By submitting a bid to State or accepting a purchase order, Contractor agrees to comply with this provision of this agreement.

Nothing contained in this agreement or otherwise, shall create any contractual relation between State and any subcontractors, and no subcontract shall relieve Contractor of its responsibilities and obligations hereunder.

- 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

1. Must be independently owned and operated.

2. Cannot be dominant in its field of operation.

3. Must have its principal office located in California.

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

5. 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.

6. 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.

* For additional details visit the Department of General Services (DGS) web site at:

www.dgs.ca.gov/pd/Programs/OSDS.aspx.

2. What is the SB Preference?

a) 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.

b) 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

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

4. How does the 5% Small Business (SB) Preference Work?

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