RFP_I_10216874--DVBESubcontractorContactsList.pdf

This is a Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) Subcontractor Contacts List issued by the California Department of Water Resources for Solicitation #10216874. The document, dated March 24, 2026, serves as a resource guide for prospective bidders responding to the RFP and provides contact information for certified DVBE subcontractors available for partnership opportunities. The list includes three pre-identified DVBE firms: Moore Twining Associates (ralphd@mooretwining.com, 550-268-7021), Franklin Young International, Inc (dave@franklinyoung.com, 909-931-5012), and Serving Again Inc (tinachavous@servingagain.com, 916-836-1344). However, the document notes that additional qualified DVBE vendors may be identified through the California e-Procurement system's public supplier search database.

This document establishes a mandatory DVBE Program participation requirement for all bidders responding to the solicitation. Rather than prescribing specific contract terms, pricing, or award timelines, the contacts list functions as a compliance support tool to facilitate bidder access to eligible subcontractors. The inclusion of a searchable online database link underscores the state's commitment to expanding participation opportunities beyond the provided list and ensuring bidders can identify additional qualified DVBE vendors to meet their subcontracting obligations.
