·  DISABLED VETERAN BUSINESS ENTERPRISE PARTICIPATION GOALS

The Court’s DVBE participation goal is a minimum of 3% of the value of all Court contracts in any given fiscal year (July 1 thru June 30). To implement the DVBE program the Court may grant bidders that provide DVBE participation a DVBE incentive. The Court DVBE incentive for procurements awarded to the lowest responsible bidder may be initially 3%. The Court DVBE incentive for procurements awarded to the highest scoring bidder/proposer may also initially be 3%. Any bidder claiming the DVBE incentive for any procurement must submit the appropriate certifications as part of a complete bid package. The Court will not apply the DVBE incentive without the proper certifications on file.

·  SMALL business preference

Small business participation is not mandatory. Failure to qualify for the small business preference will not render a proposal non-responsive.

Eligibility for and application of the small business preference is governed by the COURT’s Small Business Preference Procedures for the Procurement of Information Technology Goods and Services. The Proposer will receive a small business preference if, in the COURT’s sole determination, the Proposer has met all applicable requirements. If the Proposer receives the small business preference, the score assigned to its proposal will be increased by an amount equal to 5% of the points assigned to the highest scored proposal. If a DVBE incentive is also offered in connection with this solicitation, additional rules regarding the interaction between the small business preference and the DVBE incentive apply.

To receive the small business preference, the Proposer must be either (i) a Department of General Services (“DGS”) certified small business or microbusiness performing a commercially useful function, or (ii) a DGS-certified small business nonprofit veteran service agency.

If the Proposer wishes to seek the small business preference, the Proposer must complete and submit with its proposal the Small Business Declaration (Attachment 5). The Proposer must submit with the Small Business Declaration all materials required in the Small Business Declaration.

Failure to complete and submit the Small Business Declaration as required will result in the Proposer not receiving the small business preference. In addition, the COURT may request additional written clarifying information. Failure to provide this information as requested will result in the Proposer not receiving the small business preference.

If the Proposer receives the small business preference, (i) the Proposer will be required to complete a post-contract report; and (ii) failure to meet the small business commitment set forth in its proposal will constitute a breach of contract.

FRAUDULENT MISREPREPRETATION IN CONNECTION WITH THE SMALL BUSINESS PREFERNCE IS UNLAWFUL AND IS PUNISHABLE BY CIVIL PENALTIES. SEE GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 14842.5.

·  Acceptance of Terms and Conditions:

i. On Attachment 2, the Bidder must either indicate acceptance of the Terms and Conditions or clearly identify exceptions to the Terms and Conditions. An “exception” includes any addition, deletion, or other modification.

ii. If exceptions are identified, the Bidder must also submit a red-lined version of the Terms and Conditions that clearly tracks proposed changes, and a written explanation or rationale for each exception and/or proposed change.

iii. Note: A material exception to the Terms and Conditions (addition, deletion, or other modification) will render a bid non-responsive. The Court, in its sole discretion, will determine what constitutes a material exception.
