2. In the case of a discrepancy between the Unit Price (e.g., Hourly Rate, Cost per Service) and Item Total (e.g., Hourly Rate x Hours Worked = Item Total), the Unit Price shall prevail. However, if the Unit Price figure is ambiguous, illegible, uncertain, or is omitted, the Item Total shall be divided by the estimated usage (e.g., Hours Worked) to determine the Unit Price.

Additionally, bids may be rejected if the bid proposal shows any alterations of form, additions not called for, a conditioned or incomplete bid, or erasures and/or irregularities of any kind.

EXECUTIVE ORDER N-6-22 – RUSSIAN SANCTIONS

On March 4, 2022, Governor Gavin Newsom issued Executive Order N-6-22 (the EO) regarding Economic Sanctions against Russia and Russian entities and individuals. “Economic Sanctions” refers to sanctions imposed by the U.S. government in response to Russia’s actions in Ukraine, as well as any sanctions imposed under state law. By submitting a bid or proposal, Contractor represents that it is not a target of Economic Sanctions. Should the State determine Contractor is a target of Economic Sanctions or is conducting prohibited transactions with sanctioned individuals or entities, that shall be grounds for rejection of the Contractor’s bid/proposal any time prior to contract execution, or, if determined after contract execution, shall be grounds for termination by the State.

GENERATIVE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (GenAI) DISCLOSURE

The State of California seeks to realize the potential benefits of GenAI, through the development and deployment of GenAI tools, while balancing the risks of these new technologies.

Bidder / Offeror / Contractor must notify the State in writing if their solution or service includes, or makes available, any GenAI technology, including GenAI from third parties or subcontractors.

The State has developed a GenAI Reporting and Factsheet (OBS 1000) to be completed by the Bidder / Offeror / Contractor.

Failure to submit the GenAI Reporting and Factsheet (OBS 1000) will result in disqualification of the Bidder / Offeror / Contractor.

Failure to report GenAI to the State may void any resulting contract. The State reserves its right to seek any and all relief it may be entitled to as a result of such non-disclosure.

Upon receipt of a Bidder / Offeror / Contractor GenAI Reporting and Factsheet (OBS 1000), the State reserves the right to incorporate GenAI Special Provisions into the final contract or reject bids/offers that present an unacceptable level of risk to the State.

BASIS FOR AWARD

The award of an Agreement, if it is to be awarded, will be made to the lowest responsible bidder whose bid complies with all requirements prescribed herein. In the event a bidder submits more than one (1) bid for the same institution/service under this bid process, the State shall select the lowest bid and reject all other bids from this bidder.

In the event of tie bids, except as provided in Government Code §14838(f), CDCR reserves the right to determine the bidder entitled to the contract award based on the percent of discount specified in Exhibit B-1, if applicable. If not applicable or if there is a discount tie, a coin toss or lot drawing will be used to

The coin toss or lot drawing will be officially witnessed and all affected bidders will be advised of the tiebreaker method and invited to attend.

The State is not required to award an Agreement and reserves the right to reject any and all bids and to waive any immaterial deviations in the bid. The State’s waiver of an immaterial deviation shall in no way modify the IFB document or excuse the bidder from full compliance with all requirements if awarded the Agreement.

The State intends to award as many Agreements as are necessary for backup purposes. Each Agreement will have a separate Agreement number and include all of the information contained in the bid document for the locations awarded to that Contractor.

GENERAL PREVAILING RATE OF WAGES

In accordance with the provisions of Section 1774 of the California Labor Code, the Contractor and any subcontractors shall conform to the general prevailing rate of wages as determined by the Director of the Department of Industrial Relations. Copies of the wage rate determinations or any amendments thereto issued by the Director of the Department of Industrial Relations are on file with CDCR.

PUBLIC WORKS CONTRACTOR REGISTRATION PROGRAM

The California Legislature has imposed a new registration requirement for contractors and subcontractors involved with public works projects. Senate Bill 854, passed in late June 2014, implemented a new registration program to fund the Department of Industrial Relations’ (DIR) monitoring and enforcement of prevailing wage laws.

Pursuant to Labor Code §1771.4, which imposes additional requirements when bidding and awarding public works contracts:

(1) This project is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the DIR.

(2) The Department shall post or require the prime contractor to post job site notices, as prescribed by regulation.

(5) No contractor or subcontractor may be listed on a bid proposal for a public works project (submitted on or after March 1, 2015) unless registered with the DIR pursuant to Labor Code section 1725.5 [with limited exceptions from this requirement for bid purposes only under Labor Code section 1771.1(a)].

(6) No contractor or subcontractor may be awarded a contract for public work on a public works project (awarded on or after April 1, 2015) unless registered with the DIR pursuant to Labor Code section 1725.5.

(7) The contractor shall submit proof of registration with DIR to CDCR with bid proposal. The contractor shall be responsible to ensure all subcontractors are registered with DIR.

AGREEMENT EXECUTION

The Agreement will be executed only upon the State's acceptance of the Contractor's certificates of insurance, bonds, licenses, and permits, when such items are required. Should the Contractor fail to

IFB Page 11 of 100 commence work at the agreed-upon date and time, the State, upon five (5) days written notice to the Contractor, reserves the right to terminate the Agreement.

The successful bidder shall enter into an Agreement with the State, which will be prepared on a State of California Standard Agreement (STD 213 form, sample attached) and shall include from this IFB Exhibits A, A-1, B, B-1, D, and E.

This Agreement will not include a copy of the Exhibit C, General Terms and Conditions for Private Contractors, which is incorporated into the Agreement by reference only on the STD 213. Exhibit C may be downloaded from the Internet at Standard Contract Language for Non - IT Services.

After award, the Standard Agreement will be forwarded to the Contractor for signature via DocuSign.

Upon receipt, the Contractor must sign the Agreement and return the Agreement with any required documentation in accordance with the time frame specified in the transmittal letter. In the event the State has not received the signed Agreement and the required documentation within the specified time frame, the award may be rescinded and awarded to the next lowest responsible bidder.

This Agreement is not valid unless and until approved by the Department of General Services, or, under its authority CDCR. The State has no legal obligation unless and until the Agreement is approved. Any work commenced by the Contractor prior to approval may be considered voluntary and the Contractor may have to pursue claim for payment by filing with the DGS Government Claims Program. When the Agreement is fully approved, a copy will be forwarded to you.

EXTENSION OF TERM

This Agreement may not be amended to extend the term except where necessary to complete performance of the original agreement and not to provide for additional services.

DISABLED VETERAN BUSINESS ENTERPRISE (DVBE) PROGRAM

This IFB is exempt from the DVBE requirement. However, the State is committed to achieving legislatively established goals for the participation of DVBEs in all state contracting and seeks to use certified DVBE business whenever possible. Therefore, the State requests your voluntary participation in reporting any certified DVBEs, including yourself, that will be used in the performance of this Agreement.

DISABLED VETERAN BUSINESS ENTERPRISE (DVBE) INCENTIVE

CDCR is committed to meeting and exceeding the three percent (3%) goal for Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) participation in State contracting activities, set forth in Military and Veterans Code

1) The incentive is subject to a minimum of one percent (1%) and a maximum of five percent (5%) and will not exceed $500,000. Bids with DVBE participation of more than five percent (5%) will be calculated with a five percent (5%) incentive.

2) Bidders with DVBE participation of less than the required percentage listed in the solicitation will be deemed non-responsive and eliminated from any further participation.

3) The Small Business Preference (five percent (5%) up to $50,000) may be combined with the DVBE incentive but will not exceed a combined total of $500,000.

4) The DVBE incentive is computed from the lowest responsive and responsible bid price.

6) The DVBE incentive is computed from the lowest responsive and responsible bid price.

SMALL BUSINESS PREFERENCE PROGRAM

Current law requires state departments to support the success of small businesses, including microbusinesses, in participation in contracting opportunities. CDCR is committed to supporting Small/Micro Business participation in state contracting and seeks to contract with certified Small/Micro Businesses whenever possible.

A Small/Micro Business enterprise is defined as a business certified by the Department of General Services (DGS), Office of Small Business and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise Certification Services (OSDS) in which:

1. The principal office is located in California;

2. The officers are domiciled in California;

3. The business is independently owned and operated;

4. The business, with any affiliates, is not dominant in its field of operation; and

a. For Small Business, either:

(1) The business, together with any affiliates, has one hundred (100) or fewer employees and averaged annual gross receipts of $16,000,000 or less over the previous three years, or

(2) The business is a manufacturer with one hundred (100) or fewer employees;

b. For Micro Business, either:

(1) The business, together with any affiliates, has twenty-five (25) or fewer employees and averaged annual gross receipts of $5,000,000 or less over the previous three years, or

(2) The business is a manufacturer with twenty-five (25) or fewer employees.

Section 14835, et seq., of the California Government Code requires that a five percent (5%) preference be given to bidders who certify as a Small/Micro Business enterprise. The rules and regulations of this law are contained in Title 2, California Code of Regulations, Section 1896, et seq. A copy of the regulation is available upon request.

IFB Page 13 of 100

To claim the Small/Micro Business preference, which may not exceed $50,000 for any bid, your firm must:

1. Have a completed application (including proof of annual receipts) on file with the DGS, OSDS, by

5:00 p.m. on the date bids are due, and

2. Receipt of documents verified by such office.

Therefore, if you are a Small/Micro Business, but are not certified, it is to your advantage to become certified. For certification and preference approval process information, contact the OSDS by telephone at (916) 375-4940 or access the OSDS Internet website at Apply for or Re-Apply for Certification as a Small Business and/or Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise.

NON-SMALL BUSINESS PREFERENCE REQUEST

Pursuant to Title 2, CCR Section § 1896, et seq., and GC Section § 14838, et seq., a bid preference of five percent (5%) is available to a responsive non-small business claiming no less than twenty-five percent (25%), Small Business/Micro Business (SB/MB) subcontractor participation with one or more SB/MB enterprises. This preference is considered only if the tentative low bidder is not a certified SB/MB.

In granting the Non-Small Business Preference, no bid price will be reduced by more than $50,000. This preference cost adjustment is for bid evaluation purposes only and does not alter the actual cost offered by the bidder.

A non-small business is defined as a responsive/responsible bidder that is not certified by the DGS OSDS as a SB/MB enterprise.

To be eligible for the non-small business preference, the business prime vendor must complete and submit the Non-Small Business Preference Request and Subcontractor Acknowledgement form (OBS

555) with their bid proposal.

NONPROFIT VETERAN SERVICE AGENCY (NVSA) SMALL BUSINESS

PREFERENCE

Pursuant to Military and Veteran Code Section 999.50 et seq., Nonprofit Veteran Service Agencies (NVSAs) claiming Small/Micro Business preference and verified as such in the relevant category or business type, will be granted a preference of five percent (5%) of the lowest responsive bid, if the lowest responsive bid is submitted by a bidder not certified as a Small/Micro Business.
