On Wednesday, September 12, 2012, The United States General Services Administration

(GSA) will conduct a Small Business Subcontracting Outreach for prospective Small

Business Subcontractors, for the design/building (D/B) construction of the new United

States Courthouse, Los Angeles, CA. The Small Business Subcontracting Outreach will be held from 1:00pm to 5:00pm at the University of Southern California Campus, Ronald Tutor Campus Center- Grand Ballroom, 3607 Trousdale Parkway - Los Angeles, CA 90089-3103.

The GSA Public Buildings Service (PBS) has a requirement to procure services for design and construction of a new United States Courthouse in Los Angeles, California.

The Project involves the design and construction of an approximately 550,000 gross square foot courthouse, including 110 controlled-access indoor parking spaces, in Los

Angeles, California. The site is a 3.7 acre vacant site occupying the entire block bounded by 1st Street, 2nd Street, Hill Street and Broadway, in the northwestern portion of

Downtown Los Angeles.

The Small Business Subcontracting Outreach is intended to affirm GSA’s recognition of the talent that exists in the small business community and its commitment to opening a dialog between that community and the D/B teams that have been shortlisted for this project. The D/B team that is selected for this project will be required to submit a subcontracting plan prior to contract award, demonstrating a commitment to awarding

(39%) of the total subcontracted dollars mutually agreed upon by the prospective awardee and the government within the following categories: Small Disadvantaged Businesses

(including 8(a) – (5%) Woman-Owned Small Businesses – (5%) HubZone Businesses

(3%), Veteran-Owned Businesses (3%), Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses

(3%). This event is designed to help identify A|E and construction resources in the local community for all the shortlisted DB teams.

Prospective small business subcontractors will be given an opportunity to network with the shortlisted DB teams and to showcase their special talents and abilities as qualified subcontractors. It is anticipated that this Small Business Subcontracting Outreach will assist the shortlisted DB teams in indentifying qualified subcontractors to meet the subcontracting goals listed above for this project. However, GSA is not permitted by law to be a party to contractual relationships between potential prime and subcontractors.

Any contracts that may be entered into as a result of this Small Business Subcontracting

Outreach will be strictly private arrangements between the interested parties based on perceived ability and need.

Registration is mandatory. Interested small businesses may review the agenda and register for this event at: http://www.gsa.gov/portal/content/141271
