FORM 1 - PROPOSED SUBCONTRACTORS & SUPPLIERS.pdf

This is a Small Business Enterprise (SBE) and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) subcontractor and supplier disclosure form required by Metro for all prime contractors submitting bids or proposals. The form mandates that prime contractors identify all first-tier subcontractors and suppliers to be utilized on a project, including both SBE/DVBE and non-SBE/DVBE businesses. Completion of this form, along with Form 3 (Business Data Sheet), satisfies the requirements of the California Subletting and Subcontracting Fair Practices Act. The form accommodates up to ten subcontractors or suppliers and requires the prime contractor to provide the total proposal or bid price, IFB/RFP/RFIQ number, project name, proposal or bid due date, and authorized signature with date.

The form establishes specific credit calculations for SBE and DVBE participation based on the type of services or materials provided. For SBE/DVBE suppliers providing materials or supplies, only sixty percent of the cost is credited toward SBE/DVBE goals, while for brokers, only the broker's fee is credited. The form also recognizes Local Small Business Enterprise (LSBE) participation, with non-LSBE proposers that identify at least thirty percent LSBE participation eligible for a preference. A corresponding form for lower-tier subcontractors and suppliers (Form 4) is required, and all subcontractors and suppliers must complete affidavit and affirmation forms (Forms 2, 5A, and 5B) to verify their certifications as SBE, DVBE, or LSBE businesses.
