The apparent low bidder must submit required compliance documentation within five business days of bid opening, including Form 3 (CMD Compliance Affidavit) demonstrating that the Micro-LBE prime contractor will self-perform at least 25 percent of the contract work. Bidders may receive a one percent discount if they are a Neighborhood LBE or a 1.5 percent discount if they are a Project Zip Code LBE, provided the project location meets applicable criteria.
