Bidder / Offeror must notify the State in writing if it: (1) intends to provide GenAI as a deliverable to the State; or (2), intends to utilize GenAI, including GenAI from third parties, to complete all or a portion of any deliverable that materially impacts: (i) functionality of a State system, (ii) risk to the State, or (iii) Contract performance. For avoidance of doubt, the term “materially impacts” shall have the meaning set forth in State Administrative Manual (SAM) § 4986.2 Definitions for GenAI.

Failure to report GenAI to the State may result in disqualification. The State reserves its right to seek any and all relief to which it may be entitled to as a result of such non-disclosure.

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.

Government Code 11549.64 defines “Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI)” as an artificial intelligence system that can generate derived synthetic content, including text, images, video, and audio that emulates the structure and characteristics of the system’s training data.

BASIS FOR AWARD

The award of an Agreement, if it is to be awarded, will be made to the lowest responsible bidder whose bid complies with all requirements prescribed herein.

IFB Page 10 of 79

The coin toss or lot drawing will be officially witnessed, and all affected bidders will be advised of the tiebreaker method and invited to attend.

The State is not required to award an Agreement and reserves the right to reject any and all bids and to waive any immaterial deviations in the bid.

SMALL BUSINESS PREFERENCE PROGRAM

Current law requires state departments to support the success of small businesses, including microbusinesses, in participation in contracting opportunities.

b. For Micro Business, either:

(1) The business, together with any affiliates, has twenty-five (25) or fewer employees and averaged annual gross receipts of $5,000,000 or less over the previous three years, or

(2) The business is a manufacturer with twenty-five (25) or fewer employees.

This preference is considered only if the tentative low bidder is not a certified SB/MB.

In granting the Non-Small Business Preference, no bid price will be reduced by more than $50,000. This preference cost adjustment is for bid evaluation purposes only and does not alter the actual cost offered by the bidder.

A non-small business is defined as a responsive/responsible bidder that is not certified by the DGS OSDS as a SB/MB enterprise.

To be eligible for the non-small business preference, the business prime vendor must complete and submit the Non-Small Business Preference Request and Subcontractor Acknowledgement form (OBS

555) with their bid proposal.

Pursuant to Military and Veteran Code Section 999.50 et seq., Nonprofit Veteran Service Agencies (NVSAs) claiming Small/Micro Business preference and verified as such in the relevant category or business type, will be granted a preference of five percent (5%) of the lowest responsive bid, if the lowest responsive bid is submitted by a bidder not certified as a Small/Micro Business.

In granting Small/Micro Business preference to NVSAs, no bid will be reduced by more than $50,000.

The preference cost adjustment is for computation purposes only and does not alter the actual cost offered by the bidder.

To be eligible for the NVSA Small/Micro Business Preference, the business concern must:

1. request preference at the time of bid submission, and

2. must possess a valid certification prior to bid submission.

An SB/NVSA is not subject to the same standards as other certified Small/Micro businesses. SB/NVSA standards are identified in Military and Veterans Code Section 999.51(a) (3).

IDENTIFICATION OF CONTRACTORS, SUBCONTRACTORS, CONSULTANTS:

SMALL/MICRO BUSINESS AND DVBES

CDCR must identify all contractors, subcontractors, and consultants who will provide labor or render services in the performance of this Agreement and further identify whether any of the listed subcontractors and consultants are a certified Small/Micro business, or a certified DVBE. Therefore, the bidder must complete a Bidder Declaration (GSPD-05-105). If any changes occur in the submitted original GSPD-05-105, the Contractor shall notify the Office of Business Services (OBS), in writing within ten (10) working days of those changes, including any changes to Small/Micro business or DVBE status.

CDCR asks that you encourage any subcontractor(s) and/or consultant(s) not currently certified as a Small/Micro business or DVBE that may meet the certification requirements specified herein to become certified through the DGS, OSDS. Please provide those subcontractor(s)/consultant(s) the OSDS contact and certification information provided above.

If you are a certified Small/Micro business enterprise and fail to complete the Prime Contractor information of the CDCR Bidder Acknowledgement/Certification form (OBS 300), your business shall be classified as a large business, which will preclude your bid from receiving the five percent (5%) Small/Micro business preference and can cause incorrect reporting of Small/Micro business and large business participation by CDCR.

If you are a certified DVBE and fail to specify that information on the CDCR Bidder Acknowledgement/Certification form, (OBS 300) your business shall be classified as a large business, which will preclude your bid from receiving any range of the DVBE incentive and cause incorrect reporting of DVBE participation by CDCR.

BIDDER PROVIDING FACILITY(IES)

Bidders providing facility(ies) for their services must specify the complete address(es) of the facility(ies) where the services will be performed in the appropriate section on the Bidder Acknowledgement/Certification form (OBS 300) in the spaces provided.

The bidder hereby authorizes the State to insert the bidder’s facility(ies) as listed in the CDCR Bidder Acknowledgement/Certification form (OBS 300) into the contract Exhibit A Scope of Work.

If Contractor has any questions on the status of any person rendering services or involved with the Agreement, the awarding agency must be contacted immediately for clarification.

Current State Employees (Pub. Contract Code §10410):

1). No officer or employee shall engage in any employment, activity or enterprise from which the officer or employee receives compensation or has a financial interest and which is sponsored or funded by any state agency, unless the employment, activity or enterprise is required as a condition of regular state employment.

2). No officer or employee shall contract on his or her own behalf as an independent contractor with any state agency to provide goods or services.

Former State Employees (Pub. Contract Code §10411):

For the two-year period from the date he or she left state employment, no former state officer or employee may enter into a contract in which he or she engaged in any of the negotiations, transactions, planning, arrangements or any part of the decision-making process relevant to the contract while employed in any capacity by any state agency.

2). For the twelve-month period from the date he or she left state employment, no former state officer or employee may enter into a contract with any state agency if he or she was employed by that state agency in a policy-making position in the same general subject area as the proposed contract within the 12-month period prior to his or her leaving state service.

If Contractor violates any provisions of above paragraphs, such action by Contractor shall render this Agreement void. (Pub. Contract Code §10420)

5. CORPORATE QUALIFICATIONS TO DO BUSINESS IN CALIFORNIA:

a. When agreements are to be performed in the state by corporations, the contracting agencies will be verifying that the contractor is currently qualified to do business in California in order to ensure that all obligations due to the state are fulfilled.

b. "Doing business" is defined in R&TC Section 23101 as actively engaging in any transaction for the purpose of financial or pecuniary gain or profit.
