100 LACMTA POLICY STATEMENT: The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA) is the recipient of non-federal funds from state and local funding sources. It is LACMTA's policy to provide maximum opportunity for Small Business Enterprises(s) and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise(s) to compete and to foster increased SBE/DVBE participation in its procurement and contracting program.

B. Create a level playing field on which SBEs/DVBEs can compete fairly for LACMTA contracts.

C. Ensure that only firms that fully meet the eligibility requirements of LACMTA's or the Bay Area Rapid

Transit (BART) SBE Program and the California Department of General Services (DGS) DVBE certification criteria are permitted to participate as SBE/DVBEs.

D. Assist in removing barriers to allow the participation of SBEs/DVBEs in LACMTA contracts.

E. Assist the development of firms that can compete successfully in the marketplace outside the SBE/DVBE program.

101 INTERPRETATION: Any conflict, error, omission or ambiguity which may arise between these instructions, California law and LACMTA's SBE/DVBE Program shall be resolved first in favor of California law and second in favor of LACMTA's SBE/DVBE program. Failure of a Bidder/Proposer or its subcontractors, consultants, suppliers, or other entities to carry out these requirements may be grounds for LACMTA to implement administrative penalties or other remedies imposed by LACMTA.

102 SUSPENSION OR DEBARMENT: Suspension or debarment proceedings shall be initiated by LACMTA against any firm that:

A. The contractor attempts to participate in the LACMTA SBE/DVBE Program as an SBE/DVBE prime or subcontractor if the firm does not meet the eligibility criteria stated in the Certification Standards for SBE/DVBE programs and if it attempts to participate on the basis of false, fraudulent or deceitful statements or representations or under circumstances indicating a serious lack of business integrity or honesty.

B. Attempts to participate in the LACMTA MSZ Program as an MSZ-I or MSZ-II if the firm does not meet the eligibility criteria stated in LACMTA's MSZ Program policy, and if it attempts to participate on the basis of false, fraudulent or deceitful statements or representations or under circumstances indicating a serious lack of business integrity or honesty.

C.

103 SBE and DVBE CONTRACT GOALS:

Metro C/K Line Mainline Fastener Replacement IFB No. OP138405

SBE/DVBE goals are established based on the analysis of the scope of work, and the availability of SBE/DVBE firms that are ready, willing, and able to perform. If established, the contract goal is listed in the LOI. If a contract goal is not established, Bidders/Proposers are encouraged to utilize SBE/DVBE firms when opportunities are available during the performance of the contract. The successful Bidder/Proposer will be required to report SBE/DVBE participation throughout the period of performance

104 RESPONSIVENESS TO SBE and DVBE CONTRACT GOALs:If SBE and DVBE contract goals are established for this contract, obtaining the contract goals is a matter of responsiveness. For a Bidder/Proposer to be considered responsive, it must document that it obtained enough SBE and DVBE participation to meet or exceed the goal at the time of Bid/Proposal due date. LACMTA will not round up the commitment percentage when determining the Bidder/Proposer's responsiveness to the SBE and DVBE goal(s). Bidders/Proposers that do not meet or exceed each goal will not be eligible for award.

Bidders/Proposers shall provide the following:

A. Names and addresses of SBE and DVBE firms that will participate in this contract.

B. Description of the work each SBE and DVBE will perform. To count toward meeting the SBE and DVBE goal, each SBE and DVBE firm(s) must be certified in a NAICS code applicable to the kind of work the firm would perform on the contract.

C. Dollar commitments of each SBE or DVBE firm(s) participating to meet the SBE or DVBE goal. Splitting SBE and DVBE dollar commitments between one firm that is performing the same and/or similar scope of work is not allowable. If a firm is certified as both an SBE and a DVBE, Bidders/Proposers must list the firm separately, with different and distinct scopes of work and dollar commitments, to meet each individual goal.

D. Written documentation of the Bidder's/Proposer's commitment to use an SBE or DVBE subcontractor(s) whose participation it submits to meet the SBE and DVBE contract goal(s).

E. Written confirmation from each listed SBE and DVBE that it is participating in the contract and the kind and amount of work as provided in the prime contractor's commitment.

105 SBE and DVBE COMMITMENT(S): After contract award, all SBE and DVBE commitment percentages made by Bidders/Proposers at the time of contract award, are monitored and enforced from contract inception through completion. Failure to meet the SBE and DVBE commitment may result in penalties and/or administrative sanctions. SBE and DVBE administrative requirements for this contract are provided in the Diversity & Economic Opportunity Department Contract Compliance Manual (Non-Federal) incorporated as part of the conformed contract.

106 LACMTA OVERALL SBE and DVBE GOALS: LACMTA establishes an overall annual goal for SBE and DVBE participation. The overall SBE and DVBE goals apply to non-federally funded contracts that LACMTA expects to award for the fiscal year. LACMTA supports the use of race neutral measures to facilitate participation of SBE/DVBEs and other small businesses and encourages prime contractors to subcontract portions of their work that they might otherwise perform with their own workforce. To ascertain whether the overall SBE and DVBE goals are being achieved, LACMTA will track the dollar amount(s) paid to SBE and DVBE firms performing contract work that is eligible to be credited toward LACMTA's overall SBE and DVBE goals.

107 SBE/DVBE BID/PROPOSAL FORMS: Bidders/Proposers shall submit with their Bid/Proposal, completed SBE/DVBE Forms listed below and found in Exhibit 1. Failure to submit completed SBE and DVBE forms may deem the Bidder/Proposer non-responsive.
