• Ten Good Faith Outreach Efforts from the State of California's Public Contract Code 2000 (see pages 2-3 of the Contract Equity Program and Equal Employment Opportunity Guidelines),
• A Small Business Enterprise (SBE)* component for all contracts of $60,000 or less which includes:
  • A goal of awarding fifty percent (50%) of eligible contract awards to SBEs
  • Twenty-five percent (25%) of eligible contract awards to be set-aside for SBEs
  • Provide responsive/responsible SBEs with a 5% bid discount (not to exceed $50,000 applied to estimated annual contract value for each and every year contract exists, for Materials & Supplies and some General Services contracts. Discount is applied to lump sum bid amount for Construction contracts).

• Encouragement of Local Businesses' participation on all contracts
