Upon notification by a Bidder/Offeror of GenAI as required, the State reserves the right to incorporate GenAI Special Provisions into the final contract or reject bids/offers that present an unacceptable level of risk to the State.

DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION

What is the Small Business Preference?

5% Small Business 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. In no event shall the SB preference or non-SB subcontracting preference exceed $50,000 in any single bid.

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.

1. 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.

https://www.dgs.ca.gov/PD/Services/Page-Content/Procurement-Division-Services-List-Folder/Certify-or-Re-apply-as-Small-Business-Disabled-Veteran-Business-Enterprise https://www.dgs.ca.gov/PD/Services/Page-Content/Procurement-Division-Services-List-Folder/Certify-or-Re-apply-as-Small-Business-Disabled-Veteran-Business-Enterprise

DPR 478 (Rev. 7/2026)(Page 2 of 3)

b) Computation Method for example 4-a:

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

2. 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).

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

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

c) NOTE: The 5% SB preference is applied to currently certified and registered small businesses and is used for bid evaluation purposes and does not alter the bid's actual amount.

2. Documentation

a) Bidders must provide a printout from the State's SB/DVBE vendor system showing your certification and expiration date from the following web site. www.Caleprocure.ca.gov

b) 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 GSPD 05-105 with your bid. An evaluated bid under the 25% SB subcontracting qualification cannot displace a certiffied and registered SB.

c) At completion of peformance and when SB participation was included toward SB goals under this contract, then the contractor must complete and submit form DPR 489 to the State's designated representative under this contract and within the time specified within the contracting documents or within 60 days of receipt of final payment, which ever is sooner.

3. Verification 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.

4. To locate SB/MB contractors:

a) Contact the department’s contracting official named in this solicitation for any SB/MB contractors who may have identified themselves as potential subcontractors, and to obtain suggestions for search criteria to possibly identify SB/MB contractors for the solicitation. You may also contact the department’s SB/DVBE Advocate for assistance: www.parks.ca.gov/advocate.

b) Access the list of all certified SB/MBs by using the Department of General Services, Procurement Division (DGS-PD) online certified firm database at: www.Caleprocure.ca.gov

c) Search by “Keywords” or United Nations Standard Products and Services Codes (UNSPSC) that apply to the elements of work you want to subcontract to a SB/MB.

West Sacramento, CA 95605 TACPA@dgs.ca.gov

DPR 478 (Rev. 7/2026)(Page 3 of 3)

Any vendor whose bid is over $100,000 may apply for Target Area Contract Preference Act (TACPA) preference. TACPA provides 5 to 9 percent preferences for a California business that is located in the qualified zone.

How does the TACPA Preference Work?

TACPA will be granted to California-based firms in accordance with Government Code §4530 whenever contracts for goods or services are in excess of $100,000 and the bidder meets certain requirements as defined in the California Administrative Code (Title 2, §1896.30 et seq.) regarding labor needed to produce the goods or provide the services being procured. The TACPA is optional on the part of the bidder (not mandatory), is for bidder evaluation purposes only, and does not alter the amount of the awarded Contract.

Bidders seeking to take advantage of this preference will need to review the DGS Procurement website and submit the appropriate response forms with their bid. The bidder may omit these forms if there is no intention to claim this preference.

Please carefully review the forms and requirements. Bidders are not required to apply for these preferences.

Denial of the TACPA preference request is not a basis for rejection of a bid.

The required applications/forms are as follows:

• STD. 830, TACPA Preference Request for Goods and Services Solicitations

• DGS/PD 525, Manufacturer’s Summary of Contract Activities and Labor Hours

• DGS/PD 526, Bidder’s Summary of Contract Activities and Labor Hours

These forms can be found on the California Statewide Forms Directory at:

https://forms.dgs.ca.gov/content/DGSFormsPortal/california-state-forms-directory.html

Contracts awarded with applied preferences will be monitored throughout the life of the contract for compliance with statutory, regulatory, and contractual requirements. The State will take appropriate corrective action and apply sanctions as necessary to enforce preference programs.

Note: You do not need to be a certified Small Business to apply for the TACPA Preference.
