Bidders 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 (STD 1000) to be completed by the Bidder. Failure to disclose GenAI to the State and submit the GenAI Reporting and Factsheet (STD 1000) will disqualify the Bidder and may void any resulting contract. The State reserves its right to seek all relief it may be entitled to because of such non-disclosure. Upon receipt of a Bidder GenAI Reporting and Factsheet (STD 1000), the State reserves the right to incorporate GenAI Special Provisions into the final contract or reject bids that present an unacceptable level of risk to the State.

Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) Disclosure & Factsheet (STD 1000) can be viewed and downloaded at the following internet site: https://www.documents.dgs.ca.gov/dgs/fmc/pdf/std1000.pdf

The completed GenAI Reporting and Factsheet (STD 1000) must be included in the bid submission as part of Project Manual Document 00 41 00 “Bid Form”. If the bidder does not submit the GenAI Disclosure & Factsheet, the bid shall be deemed nonresponsive.

For bidders without a DOJ-Confirmed Custodian of Record at the time of Contract award but who provide evidence of a submitted application at the time of Contract award, an allowance of 30 calendar days from NTP shall be included in the baseline schedule for processing of the Contractor’s Custodian of Record and completion of onsite construction staff background checks (FBI and/or DOJ). The state shall not be responsible for any Contractor costs caused by delays in establishing a Custodian of Record.

Information regarding the Custodian of Records program is available at https://oag.ca.gov/fingerprints/custodian
