The CCC will assist the contractor with scheduling services across multiple California locations. Evaluation criteria will primarily focus on the lowest direct cost rates, specifically examining "fee-for-service" and "materials" costs.

The solicitation includes provisions for small businesses and disabled veteran business enterprises (DVBE), potentially offering bidding preferences to these designated groups. Bidders must comply with various state regulations, including the Darfur Contracting Act, civil rights laws, and non-discrimination requirements. The contract includes specific documentation requirements, such as submitting a Bidder Declaration, Payee Data Record, insurance proof, and a detailed cost sheet.
