FORM 4 - PROPOSED LOWER TIER SUBs & SUPs.pdf

This is a subcontractor and supplier disclosure form issued by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA) for use in conjunction with their Small Business Enterprise (SBE) set-aside programs on non-federally funded projects. The form must be completed by all subcontractors listed on Form 1 that are performing subcontracting work and requires disclosure of all lower-tier businesses, including both SBE and non-SBE entities, that will be utilized on the project. The form requests project identification information, the prime contractor name, total proposal or bid price, and authorized signature with date. No specific response deadlines, site visits, bidders' meetings, award dates, or contract terms are identified in this document.

The pricing structure incorporates SBE credit calculations based on the type of business involvement. For SBE suppliers providing materials or supplies, only 60 percent of the cost is credited toward the SBE goal, and contractors must list 60 percent of the proposal price in the SBE credit column. For SBE brokers, only brokering services fees and commissions are credited toward the SBE goal rather than the full contract amount. The form includes rows for listing up to ten subcontractors and suppliers with columns designating SBE status, business type (manufacturer, supplier, or broker), and corresponding cost breakdowns. Metro will review appropriate SBE credit according to 49 CFR Part 26.55, and completion of this form along with Form 3 (Business Data Sheet) fulfills requirements under the California Subletting and Subcontracting Fair Practices Act.
