Purpose
Promotes economic development and employment opportunities in designated military base areas by offering bidding preferences of 1 - 9% in specified state contracts.
Description
The LAMBRA Act provides for two bidding preferences: Worksite and Workforce
Worksite Preference: LAMBRA provides a 5 percent bidding preference on state solicitations for goods and services valued at more than $100,000 if the worksite is located in a LAMBRA as designated by the State Trade and Commerce Agency.
LAMBRA allows state contracting officials to award the bid worksite preference when 50% of the labor hours required to perform a contract for goods, or 90% of the labor hours required to perform a contract for services is performed at the approved worksites.
Workforce Preference: Companies qualifying for the 5% worksite preference may request an additional 1% - 4% workforce preference by certifying to hire a specified percent of the contract workforce employees from those designated as LAMBRA qualified individuals (See Assembly Bill 3: Chapter 1012, 9/30/1998).
To request workforce preference, the bidder must first identify an eligible worksite.
LAMBRA bid preferences do not apply to contracts in which the worksite is fixed.
The awarding State agency is responsible for including bid and contract language to ensure compliance with LAMBRA and for monitoring the LAMBRA contract compliance.
The DGS, Procurement Division, Dispute Resolution and Preference Programs administers the LAMBRA program, which was implemented in State procurement in 1999.
Authority California Government Code, Section 7118 et seq., and California Code of Regulations, Title 2, Section 1896 et seq.
