Micro-LBE prime contractors must self-perform at least 25 percent of contract work, though standard LBE subcontracting participation requirements do not apply; however, any subcontracted work should preferentially utilize Micro-LBE subcontractors. Bidders with pending certification applications, denied certifications, revoked certifications, or those appealing CMD decisions are ineligible to bid.

The contract requires 100 percent Performance and Payment Bonds for contracts exceeding $25,000, with liquidated damages assessed at $200 per calendar day for failure to achieve Substantial Completion and $100 per calendar day for failure to achieve Final Completion. All contractors and subcontractors must comply with prevailing wage requirements under California Labor Code and San Francisco Administrative Code, register with the California Department of Industrial Relations, submit electronic certified payroll records, and comply with San Francisco labor standards including minimum compensation, health care accountability, and fair chance ordinances.
