Bid discounts may be applied as per San Francisco Administrative Code Chapter 14B and Section 2.01 of CMD Attachment 1. The Local Business Enterprise (LBE) subcontracting requirement is 15.00%. The LBE subcontracting requirement can only be met with CMD certified San Francisco Micro and Small-LBEs. The LBE subcontracting participation requirement is below 20% due to the involvement of complex Sodium Bisulfite system with specialized mechanical equipment including tanks, pumps, double-contained chemical piping, and chemical induction mixers.

The specialized mechanical equipment and torque down pile materials account for almost half of the engineer's cost estimate.
