Subcontractors
For all Agreements, with the exception of Interagency Agreements and other
governmental entities/auxiliaries that are exempt from bidding, nothing contained
in this Agreement, or otherwise, shall create any contractual relation between the
State and any subcontractors, and no subcontract shall relieve the Contractor of
Contractor’s responsibilities and obligations hereunder. The Contractor agrees
to be as fully responsible to the State for the acts and omissions of its
subcontractors and of persons either directly or indirectly employed by any of
them as it is for the acts and omissions of persons directly employed by the
Contractor.
The Contractor’s obligation to pay its subcontractors is an
independent obligation from the State’s obligation to make payments to the
Contractor. As a result, the State shall have no obligation to pay or to enforce
the payment of any moneys to any subcontractor.

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

b.

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

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

The business is a manufacturer with 25 or fewer employees

preference be given to bidders who qualify as a Small/Micro business enterprise. The rules and

BID PROPOSAL
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.dgs.ca.gov/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.

2. Provide written notification within seven days to the Director of the California Department of
