Exhibit 6: CBE Form Summary

This is a Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) certification form submitted as part of the State of California's Bare Rental Master Agreement procurement. The exhibit serves as documentation for bidders to establish their CBE status and eligibility for potential small business preferences or set-asides that may apply to the equipment rental solicitation. The form requires bidders to provide detailed information regarding their business classification, ownership structure, and certification status with California's certifying agencies. Submission of the completed CBE form is mandatory for all bidders participating in this statewide bare rental equipment procurement, with the proposal deadline established as June 30, 2026. The master agreement will establish pricing frameworks on daily, weekly, and monthly rental bases for multiple equipment categories, enabling authorized state and local agencies to procure rental services through negotiated contract rates.

The CBE form documentation functions as a compliance verification tool that allows the State of California to implement procurement preferences for certified small businesses and local vendors as determined by state policy. Bidders must accurately complete and submit the form to demonstrate their business certification status and eligibility for any applicable set-asides or scoring advantages in the competitive bidding process. This exhibit represents a critical submission requirement that may directly influence bid evaluation and award considerations, particularly if the state determines that small business preferences will be applied to this procurement opportunity.
