This is an Appendix B Required Forms document, specifically a Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) Form, for the County of Los Angeles Executive Office of the Board of Supervisors' Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for a Consulting and Professional Services Master Agreement (CAPSMA). The document serves as an Excel-based form that vendors must complete as part of their qualification submission process. Vendors seeking to be awarded a CAPSMA must submit completed required forms, including this CBE Form, concurrently with both an RFQ and a Request for Services (RFS) application. The form is mandatory for all applicants and must accompany the RFQ submission; applications lacking the required RFS will not be accepted. This master agreement will establish a pre-qualified vendor pool available to provide an array of consulting and professional services to the County on an as-needed basis.

The CBE Form specifically addresses certification and compliance documentation related to small or disadvantaged business enterprise status. Completion and submission of this form is a prerequisite for consideration in the qualification process. Vendors must ensure all required appendices and forms, including this CBE certification document, are properly completed and submitted to meet eligibility requirements for the CAPSMA award. The form functions as both a compliance verification tool and a data collection instrument for the County's diversity and inclusion tracking purposes related to its consulting services procurement.
