Small and Local Business (SLB) Program – Project Specific, the RFB will specify whether SLB applies.
Details:
The Small and Local Business (SLB) Program will apply for procurement of Goods, Equipment, and Non-Professional Services valued at $100,000 or less.
Companies certified as a SLB with the City of Los Angeles are given a 10% preference (discount) applied to bids of SLB certified companies. The preference is determined by taking 10% of the lowest bid that is proposed by a non-certified SLB company, and subtracting that amount from the bid of the SLB certified company. If after the preference, the SLB’s bid is less than or equal to the lowest non-certified company’s bid, the SLB will be awarded the contract.
In order to be given the bid preference as a certified SLB, your SLB Application must be received at the Department of Public Works, Bureau of Contract Administration, Office of Contract Compliance, Centralized Certification Section no later than five (5) calendar days prior to the last day for submission of the bid and approved prior to the award date as stated on the RFB.
