POSTCONSUMER-CONTENT CERTIFICATION

State agencies are required to report purchases in many product categories. In order to comply with those requirements, bidders are required to complete and return the attached Postconsumer-Content Certification form (CIWMB 74) with their bid response.

BIDDER DECLARATION FORM

All bidders must complete the Bidder Declaration Form GSPD-05-105 and include it with the bid response. When completing the declaration, bidders must identify all subcontractors proposed for participation in the contract; this includes equipment manufacturers, equipment distributors and resellers. A subcontractor is any person, firm, corporation, or organization contracting to perform any part of the prime’s contract. Bidders awarded a contract are contractually obligated to use the subcontractors for the corresponding work identified unless the State agrees to a substitution and it is incorporated by amendment to the contract.

If claiming the non-small business subcontractor preference, the form must list all the California small businesses with which you commit to subcontract in an amount of at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the net bid price. All certified small businesses must perform a “commercially useful function” in the performance of the contract as defined in Government Code Section 14837 (d)(4).

DARFUR CONTRACTING ACT CERTIFICATION

Effective January 1, 2009, all Invitations for Bids (IFB) or Requests for Proposals (RFP) for goods or services must address the requirements of the Darfur Contracting Act of 2008 (Act). (Public Contract Code sections 10475, et seq.; Stats. 2008, Ch. 272). The Act was passed by the California Legislature and signed into law by the Governor to preclude State agencies generally from contracting with “scrutinized” companies that do business in the African nation of Sudan (of which the Darfur region is a part), for the reasons described in Public Contract Code section 10475.

A scrutinized company is a company doing business in Sudan as defined in Public Contract Code section 10476. Scrutinized companies are ineligible to, and cannot, bid on or submit a proposal for a contract with a State agency for goods or services. (Public Contract Code section 10477(a)).

Therefore, Public Contract Code section 10478 (a) requires a company that currently has (or within the previous three years has had) business activities or other operations outside of the United States to certify that it is not a “scrutinized” company when it submits a bid or proposal to a State agency. (See # 1 on the Attachment).

A scrutinized company may still, however, submit a bid or proposal for a contract with a State agency for goods or services if the company first obtains permission from the Department of General Services (DGS) according to the criteria set forth in Public Contract Code section 10477(b). (See # 2 on the Attachment).

FEDERAL DEBARMENT, SUSPENSION, INELIGIBILITY AND VOLUNTARY EXCLUSION

Expenditures from this contract may involve Federal funds. The Federal Department of Labor requires all State agencies which are expending Federal funds to have in the contract file a certification by the contractor that they have not been debarred nor suspended from doing business with the Federal government.

http://www.boe.ca.gov/ http://www.documents.dgs.ca.gov/dgs/fmc/pdf/std204.pdf

PROHIBITION ON TAX DELINQUENTS BIDDING (AB 1424)

Public Contract Code section 10295.4 provides that a state agency shall not enter into any contract for goods or services with a contractor whose name appears on either list of the 500 largest tax delinquencies pursuant to Section 7063 or 19195 of the Revenue and Taxation Code. This section applies to contracts executed on or after July 1, 2012. The Franchise Tax Board (FTB) and the California Board of Equalization (BOE) will post and periodically update lists of the 500 largest tax delinquencies on their websites as required by law. Starting on July 1, 2012 prior to executing contracts state agencies must check the FTB and BOE lists to ensure the proposed awardee/vendor is not on either list. If the proposed awardee is on either list the bid may be considered non-responsive.

CHANGE ORDERS

Any Purchase Order resulting from this bid may be amended, modified, or terminated at any time by mutual agreement of the parties in writing. Change orders amending, modifying or terminating the Purchase Order, including any modifications of the compensation payable, may be issued only by the Department of General Services State Procurement Officer. All such change orders shall be in writing and issued only upon written concurrence of the supplier. Termination, as that term is used in this section, does not include termination for default of the supplier.

NEGOTIATIONS

This solicitation is subject to the provisions of Public Contract Code Section 6611. At the State’s sole option, the Department of General Services (DGS) reserves the right to invoke negotiations pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 6611, in accordance with existing guidelines adopted by the Department of General Services. Bidders are cautioned that conditional bids or bids based upon assumptions will be deemed non-responsive. Current guidelines prohibit the State from opening negotiations with either non-responsive or non-responsible Bidders.
