About this file
This is a certification requirements and preference document issued by the County of Orange, California, establishing eligibility criteria for Orange County Local Small Business (OCLSB) and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) designations in connection with a Mobile Thermal Oxidizer Rental with Services solicitation. To qualify as an OCLSB, a business must be certified by the California Department of General Services as a Small Business, maintain its principal operations within Orange County, and provide proof of a physical business address or valid business license in Orange County. To qualify as a DVBE, a business must hold current DGS DVBE certification. Both certifications must remain valid through bid submission and contract award. Bidders seeking either preference must complete and submit a signed Affirmation form along with their respective certification documentation with their solicitation response. The underlying solicitation is an Invitation for Bid with a bid due date of September 26, 2023 at 1:00 p.m. via OpenGov, with questions due by September 19, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. Bidders must also submit a completed Company Profile, References, Bidder Certification form, and Signature Page to be deemed responsive.
The OCLSB and DVBE preferences operate as follows: for Invitations for Bid, the lowest certified OCLSB or DVBE bidder within five percent of the lowest bidder receives an opportunity to price match within three business days. For multiple tied OCLSB or DVBE bids within the five percent threshold, the County requests best and final offers. When both OCLSB and DVBE certifications apply to a single business, an eight percent preference is applied rather than separate five percent preferences. The contract is designated as high-risk, and bidders are required to review the Model Contract Attachment D and a separate Safety Packet included with the solicitation materials.
