Government Code Section 7118, et. seq., provides that whenever a state agency prepares a solicitation for a goods or services contract in excess of $100,000 and the worksite(s) is not fixed by the terms of the contract, a 5 percent bid preference will be granted to California-based bidders if they certify under penalty of perjury that no less than 50 percent of the labor required to perform a contract for goods, or 100 percent of the labor hours required to perform a contract for services are performed at an approved worksite(s) located in a local agency military base recovery area.
Bidders seeking to obtain a LAMBRA 5 percent preference must submit a completed STD Form 832 with or prior to their bid that includes the following:
- All appropriate certifications.
- The bidding firm's name and the name of all suppliers and subcontractors that will work with the bidder to fulfill the terms of the contract along with the address(es) of each of the worksite(s) and estimated labor hours.
- Military Base Recovery Area name(s).
- Bidder's original signature.
- The bidder must indicate if seeking the additional 1 to 4 percent preference available for hiring persons with a high risk of unemployment, by checking the appropriate box.
A bidder who has claimed a LAMBRA preference(s) and is awarded the contract will be obligated to perform in accordance with preference(s) requested, provided that the LAMBRA preference(s) was granted in obtaining the contract.
Bidders should contact the State Trade and Commerce Agency at (916) 324-8211 to identify LAMBRA zone locations. Firms receiving LAMBRA preferences must report their labor hours. Reference the state contract on which the award is based for specific reporting requirements.
