There will be no LBE bid discounts for this contract.  The Local Business Enterprise (LBE) subcontracting requirement is 10.00%. The LBE subcontracting requirement can only be met with CMD certified San Francisco Micro LBEs, Small LBEs, and/or PUC LBEs.  Approximately 40% of the total contract value will be used for purchasing large diameter valves, pipe and appurtenances. In addition, constraints such as the location of the work sites (spread across San Joaquin Valley from Tracy to Oakdale) and the construction timeframe (limited to 60-100 days during a yearly water system shut down) reduces the number of subcontractors available to perform work on the contract.
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 Jason Chow at (415) 581-2310 or Jason.Chow@sfgov.org for further information about the LBE requirements.  Subcontracting opportunities may include, but not limited, to the following major types of work: demolition, excavation, concrete work, pipeline coating, rebar installation, welding, trucking, and electrical and instrumentation installation.
