BIDDER RESPONSIBILITIES & THE BID PACKAGE

Bidders are solely responsible for understanding the scope of work and all requirements, terms, conditions, evaluation criteria, etc., before submitting a bid. If the language is unclear or ambiguous, it is the bidder’s responsibility to request clarification or assistance before submitting a bid. Please note that no verbal information will be binding upon the State unless the State issues such information in writing as an official addendum. If the IFB is modified prior to the final bid submission date, the State will issue an addendum to all bidders that received a bid package.

NOTE:

1. Any quantities listed on Exhibit B-1 are CDCR’s estimates only and are offered as a basis for the comparison of bids. The State does not expressly or by implication agree that the actual amount of work will correspond therewith and reserves the right to omit portions of the work as may be deemed necessary or advisable by the State.

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. In the case of a discrepancy between the Basis of Award and the sum of the Item Totals, the sum of the Item Totals shall prevail.

All required documents listed in the Bid Submittal Checklist must be included within the bid package. No bid will be considered unless it is submitted with the CDCR Bidder Acknowledgement/Certification form (OBS 300) and Exhibit B-1 Rate Sheet and is in conformance with the submission requirements of this IFB. Additionally, a signed copy of all pages of the Contractor Certification Clause (CCC) must be submitted to CDCR with the completed bid package. The State reserves the right to request clarification of any documents included with this bid.

The bid must be for the entire activity described herein. The State does not accept alternate contract language from a prospective Contractor. A bid with such language will be considered a counter proposal and will be rejected. 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. Any bid amounts changed after the amounts are originally inserted MUST be initialed through DocuSign by the bidder.

Failure to submit required documentation may result in the rejection of your bid.

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 must notify the State in writing if it: (1) intends to provide GenAI as a deliverable to the State; or (2), intends to utilize GenAI, including GenAI from third parties, to complete all or a portion of any deliverable that materially impacts: (i) functionality of a State system, (ii) risk to the State, or (iii) Contract performance. For avoidance of doubt, the term “materially impacts” shall have the meaning set forth in State Administrative Manual (SAM) § 4986.2 Definitions for GenAI.

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

Upon notification by a Bidder / Offeror of GenAI as required, 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.

Government Code 11549.64 defines “Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI)” as an artificial intelligence system that can generate derived synthetic content, including text, images, video, and audio that emulates the structure and characteristics of the system’s training data.

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 determine the bidder entitled to the contract award. 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.

4. 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.

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.

In granting Small/Micro Business preference to NVSAs, no bid will be reduced by more than $50,000.

The preference cost adjustment is for computation purposes only and does not alter the actual cost offered by the bidder.

To be eligible for the NVSA Small/Micro Business Preference, the business concern must:

1. request preference at the time of bid submission, and

2. must possess a valid certification prior to bid submission.

An SB/NVSA is not subject to the same standards as other certified Small/Micro businesses. SB/NVSA standards are identified in Military and Veterans Code Section 999.51(a) (3).

IDENTIFICATION OF CONTRACTORS, SUBCONTRACTORS, CONSULTANTS:

SMALL/MICRO BUSINESS AND DVBES

CDCR must identify all contractors, subcontractors, and consultants who will provide labor or render services in the performance of this Agreement and further identify whether any of the listed subcontractors and consultants are a certified Small/Micro business, or a certified DVBE. Therefore, the bidder must complete a Bidder Declaration (GSPD-05-105). If any changes occur in the submitted original GSPD-05-105, the Contractor shall notify the Office of Business Services (OBS), in writing within ten (10) working days of those changes, including any changes to Small/Micro business or DVBE status.

https://www.dgs.ca.gov/PD/Services/Page-Content/Procurement-Division-Services-List-Folder/Certify-or-Re-apply-as-Small-Business-Disabled-Veteran-Business-Enterprise https://www.dgs.ca.gov/PD/Services/Page-Content/Procurement-Division-Services-List-Folder/Certify-or-Re-apply-as-Small-Business-Disabled-Veteran-Business-Enterprise

CDCR asks that you encourage any subcontractor(s) and/or consultant(s) not currently certified as a Small/Micro business or DVBE that may meet the certification requirements specified herein to become certified through the DGS, OSDS. Please provide those subcontractor(s)/consultant(s) the OSDS contact and certification information provided above.

If you are a certified Small/Micro business enterprise and fail to complete the Prime Contractor information of the CDCR Bidder Acknowledgement/Certification form (OBS 300), your business shall be classified as a large business, which will preclude your bid from receiving the five percent (5%) Small/Micro business preference and can cause incorrect reporting of Small/Micro business and large business participation by CDCR.

If you are a certified DVBE and fail to specify that information on the CDCR Bidder Acknowledgement/Certification form, (OBS 300) your business shall be classified as a large business, which will preclude your bid from receiving any range of the DVBE incentive and cause incorrect reporting of DVBE participation by CDCR.

BIDDER PROVIDING FACILITY(IES)

Bidders providing facility(ies) for their services must specify the complete address(es) of the facility(ies) where the services will be performed in the appropriate section on the Bidder Acknowledgement/Certification form (OBS 300) in the spaces provided.
