Bid discounts may be applied as per San Francisco Administrative Code Chapter 14B and Section 2.01 of CMD Attachment 6. The Local Business Enterprise (LBE) subcontracting requirement is 10.00%. The LBE subcontracting requirement can only be met with CMD certified San Francisco Micro and Small-LBEs and PUC-LBEs. The proposed work will be performed at two highly remote upcountry areas. One site is within the Yosemite National Park and the other one is right next to it but outside the park area, within the Stanislaus National Forest. There are limited LBE subcontractors available in the upcountry areas. Also, it is difficult to attract LBEs to come to work on the project due to difficult access, long commute time from the nearby towns, and relatively small contract work value. Prime and Joint Venture level LBE participation cannot be counted towards meeting any of the LBE subcontracting requirement(s). LBE subcontractors must be certified with CMD in the scope of work they are being listed to perform. All Bidders shall submit documented Good Faith efforts with their Bids as directed on CMD Form 2B, except those who exceed the above-stated subcontracting requirement(s) by at least 35%. Refer to CMD Attachment 6. Failure to comply with Chapter 14B requirements may result in a Bid being deemed non-responsive and ineligible for Contract award. Please contact Jovenith Cuntapay-Vitin at 415-554-3136 or Jovenith.cuntapay-vitin@sfgov.org for further information about the LBE requirements. Subcontracting opportunities may include, but are not limited to, the following major types of work: Concrete masonry work, traffic control services, earthwork and paving, environmental advisory, safety, materials procurement and surveying.
