Exhibit B-1
CDC BID PROPOSAL
Contract No. ICM04469
Rates must be provided for all services listed in Exhibit B-2. Failure to
provide the required rates shall be cause
for rejection of your bid.
NOTE:
1. Any quantities listed on Exhibit B-2 are CDC's estimates only and are
offered
as a basis
for the comparison of bids. The State does not
expressly
or by implication agree that the actual amount of work will
correspond
therewith and reserves the right to omit
portions of the work
as may be
deemed necessary or advisable by the State.
2. In the case of a
discrepancy
between the Unit Price
(e.g., Hourly
Rate,
Cost Per
Service) and Item Total (e.g., Hourly Rate x Hours Worked =
Item
Total),
the Unit Price shall prevail. However, if the Unit Price figure
is
ambiguous,
illegible,
uncertain,
or is omitted, the
Item Total shall be
divided by
the estimated usage (e.g., Hours Worked) to determine the
Unit
Price. In
the case of a discrepancy between the Basis of Award and the
sum
of the
Item Totals, the sum of the item Totals shall prevail.
The amount
of the total bid will be rounded up to the nearest whole dollar
when the
Agreement documents resulting from this bid are prepared.
Bidder shall set forth rates in clear,
legible figures in the spaces provided in
Exhibit B-2
SMALL BUSINESS PREFERENCE
Current law encourages state departments to first consider a Small Business
Enterprise (Small)/ Microbusiness Enterprise (Micro) for contracting
opportunities. The California Department of Corrections
(CDC) is committed
to
supporting Small/Micro business participation
in state contracting and seeks to
use certified Small/Micro businesses
whenever possible.
A Small/Micro business enterprise is defined as a business
certified by the
Office of Small Business and Disabled
Veteran Business Enterprise Certification
(OSDC) in which:
1. The principal office
is located in California
2. The officers are
domiciled in California
3. The business is
independently owned and operated
4. The business, with any affiliates, is not dominant in its field of
operation;
and
5.
a.
For Small
Business, either:
(1) The
business, together
with any affiliates,
has 100 or
fewer employees and
averaged annual gross
receipts of
$10,000,000 or less over the previous three years, or
(2) The
business is a manufacturer with 100 or fewer
employees
b. For
Micro Business, either:
(1) The
business, together
with any affiliates,
has 100 or
fewer employees and
averaged annual gross
receipts of
$2,500,000 or less over the previous three years, or
(2) The
business is a manufacturer with 25 or fewer
employees

Exhibit B-1
CDC BID PROPOSAL
Contract No. 1CM04469
Section 14835, et seq., of the California
Government Code
requires that a five
percent (5%) preference be given to bidders who qualify as a Small/Micro
business enterprise. The rules and regulations of this law are contained in
Title 2, California Code of Regulations, Section 1896, et seq. A copy of
the
regulation is available upon request.
To claim the Small/Micro business
preference,
which may not exceed
$50,000 for
any bid, your firm must have a completed
application (including
proof of annual
receipts) on file with the Department of General Services (DGS), Procurement
Division, Office of Small Business and DVBE
Certification (OSDC),
by 5:00 p.m.
on the date bids are opened, and receipt
verified by such office. Therefore, if
you are a Small/Micro business,
but are not certified,
it is to your
advantage
to become certified. For certification and preference approval process
information, contact the OSDC by telephone at
(916) 375-4940 or access the OSDC
Internet website at
www.dqs.ca.qov/osbcr.
The CDC must identify all contractors,
subcontractors
and consultants who
will
provide labor or render services in the performance of this Agreement and
further identify whether any of the listed
subcontractors and
consultants are a
certified Small/Micro business, or a certified DVBE by completing a
Subcontractor/Consultant List. If any changes occur in the submitted
original
Subcontractor/Consultant List, the Contractor shall notify the Office of
Contract Services (OCS), in writing, within ten (10) working days of those
changes, including any changes to
Small/Micro business or DVBE status.
The CDC asks that you encourage any
subcontractor(s)
and/or consultant(s) not
currently certified as a Small/Micro
business or DVBE, that you believe may meet
the certification requirements specified
herein, to become certified through the
DGS, OSDC. Please provide those
subcontractor(s)/consultant(s) the OSDC contact
and certification information provided
above.
If you are a certified Small/Micro business enterprise
and fail to complete the
Prime Contractor information section below,
your business shall be classified as
a large business which will preclude your bid from
receiving the five
percent
(5%) Small/Micro business preference and cause incorrect reporting of
Small/Micro business and large business
participation by the CDC.
