Changes to the scope of work that impact the DVBE subcontractor(s) identified in the bid or offer and approved DVBE substitutions will be documented by contract amendment. Failure of Contractor to seek substitution and adhere to the DVBE participation level identified in the bid or offer may be cause for contract termination, recovery of damages under rights and remedies due to the State, and penalties as outlined in MVC Section 999.9; Public Contract Code (PCC) Section 10115.10.

If for this Contract, the Contractor made a commitment to achieve the DVBE participation goal by subcontracting to a DVBE, the Department will withhold $10,000 from the final payment, or the full final payment if less than $10,000, until the Contractor complies with the certification requirements above.

(MVC Section 999.7) A person or entity that knowingly provides false information shall be subject to a civil penalty for each violation. (MVC Section 999.5(d); Govt. Code Section 14841).

RESPONSIBLE BIDDER: Bidders may be required to submit evidence of their qualifications at such times and under conditions as the State may deem necessary. The question of whether a particular bidder is a responsible bidder may involve an evaluation of the bidder’s experience, type of facility, expertise, or financial resources regarding the items requested by the pertinent solicitation.

BID EVALUATION – TIE BETWEEN BIDDERS: In the event of a precise tie between bidders, the CDCR procurement official will conduct a coin toss.

CONFIDENTIALITY: During the evaluation of bids received in response to a competitive solicitation and prior to contract award, information relating to bid evaluation is confidential. Any disclosure of confidential information by the bidder during the procurement process is a basis for rejecting the bidder’s proposal and finding the bidder ineligible. Total confidentiality during the procurement process is vital to preserve the integrity of the process.
