Bidder A, (Low Bid), non-small business: $125,000 Bidder B, non-small business (subcontracting 25% to a certified small business)

$131,000

Calculation Preference: $125,000 x .05 = $6,250

Bidder B $131,000 Subtract calculated preference - $6,250

Adjusted Bid for Bidder B $124,750

Award is made to Bidder B as the low bidder at the bid price of $131,000.

5. TIES BETWEEN CERTIFIED SMALL BUSINESSES AND DVBE BUSINESSES

In the event of a precise tie between the bid of an SB and the bid of a Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) that is also an SB, the award shall go to the DVBE that is also an

SB.

The five percent (5%) calculation preference is used for computation purposes only and does not alter or affect the actual bid price or the amount of the executed contract.

(on each form DWR 9526) of the total contract amount (including contract amendments) to the DVBE subcontractor declared on this form.
