Failure on the part of the Bidder or persons/sub-contractors acting on behalf of the Bidder to fully comply with the Federal Lobbyist Requirements may be subject to civil penalties.
A responsible Bidder is a Bidder who has demonstrated the attribute of trustworthiness, as well as quality, fitness, capacity and experience to satisfactorily perform the contract. It is the LACDA policy to conduct business only with responsible Bidders.
It is improper for any officer, employee or agent of the LACDA to solicit consideration, in any form, from a Bidder with the implication, suggestion or statement that the Bidder’s provision of the consideration may secure more favorable treatment for the Bidder in the award of the Contract or that the Bidder’s failure to provide such consideration may negatively affect the LACDA consideration of the Bidder’s submission. A Bidder shall not offer or give either directly or through an intermediary, consideration, in any form, to an officer, employee or agent for the purpose of securing favorable treatment with respect to the award of the Contract.

On October 4, 2016, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved a motion taking significant steps to protect victims of human trafficking by establishing a zero-tolerance human trafficking policy. The policy prohibits contractors engaged in human trafficking from receiving contract awards or performing services under a County Contract.
The Bidder is hereby notified that the LACDA may recommend to the Board of Commissioners that the Bidder be debarred from bidding or proposing on, or being awarded, and/or performing work on other LACDA and County contracts for a specified period of time, which generally will not exceed five years but may exceed five years or be permanent if warranted by the circumstances, and the LACDA may terminate any or all of the Bidder’s existing contracts with the LACDA or County, if the Board of Commissioners finds, in its discretion, that the Bidder has done any of the following: (1) violated a term of a contract with the LACDA, the County or a nonprofit corporation created by the County; (2) committed an act or omission which negatively reflects on the Bidder’s quality, fitness or capacity to perform a contract with the LACDS, the County, any other public entity, or a nonprofit corporation created by the County, or engaged in a pattern or practice which negatively reflects on same; (3) committed an act or offense which indicates a lack of business integrity or business honesty; or (4) made or submitted a false claim against the LACDA, the County or any other public entity.
The prospective contract is subject to the requirements of the LACDA Contractor Employee Jury Service Program (“Jury Service Program”). Prospective Bidders should carefully read what is written below, and the pertinent jury service provisions contained in Attachment A - Sample Contract, both of which are incorporated by reference into and made a part of this IFB. The Jury Service Program applies to both Bidders and their Subcontractors. Bids that fail to comply with the requirements of the Jury Service Program will be considered non-responsive and excluded from further consideration.
The Bidders are required to complete Zero Tolerance Human Trafficking Policy Certification, certifying that they are in full compliance with the County’s Zero Tolerance Human Trafficking provision as defined in Section 8.8 (Compliance with County’s Zero Tolerance Human Trafficking Policy) in Attachment A – Sample Contract. Further, Bidders are required to comply with the requirements under the said provision for the term of any contract awarded pursuant to this solicitation.
If there is evidence that the lowest Bidder may be subject to debarment, the LACDA shall notify the Bidder in writing of the evidence, which is the basis for the proposed debarment, and shall advise the Bidder of the scheduled date for a debarment hearing before the Contractor Hearing Board.
A Bidder must immediately report any attempt by a LACDA officer, employee or agent to solicit such improper consideration. The report must be made to the LACDA’s Procurement-Contract Fraud E-mail at procurement-contract.fraud@lacda.org. Failure to report such a solicitation may result in the Bidder’s submission being eliminated from consideration.
Bidders are hereby notified that the LACDA may determine whether the Bidder is responsible based on a review of the Bidder’s performance on any contracts, including but not limited to LACDA and County contracts. Particular attention will be given to violations of labor laws related to employee compensation and benefits, and evidence of false claims made by the Bidder against public entities. Labor law violations which are the fault of subcontractors and of which the Bidder had no knowledge shall not be the basis of a determination that the Bidder is not responsible.
The Jury Service Program requires Bidders and their Subcontractors to have and adhere to a written policy that provides that its employees shall receive from the Bidder, on an annual basis, no less than five days of regular pay for actual jury service. The policy may provide that employees deposit any fees received for such jury service with the Bidder or that the Bidder deduct from the employee’s regular pay the fees received for jury service. For purposes of the Jury Service Program, “employee” means any California resident who is a full-time employee of a Bidder and “full-time” means 40 hours or more worked per week, or a lesser number of hours if: 1) the lesser number is a recognized industry standard as determined by LACDA, or 2) the Bidder has a long-standing practice that defines the lesser number of hours as full-time. Therefore, the Jury Service Program applies to all of a Bidder’s full-time California employees, even those not working specifically on the LACDA project. Full-time employees providing short-term, temporary services of 90 days or less within a 12-month period are not considered full-time for purposes of the Jury Service Program.
The County has enacted an ordinance regulating the activities of persons who lobby County officials. This ordinance, referred to as the "Lobbyist Ordinance", defines a County Lobbyist and imposes certain registration requirements upon individuals meeting the definition. The complete text of the ordinance can be found in County Code Chapter 2.160. In effect, each person, corporation or other entity that seeks a County permit, license, franchise or contract must certify compliance with the ordinance. As part of this solicitation process, it will be the responsibility of each Bidder to review the ordinance independently as the text of said ordinance is not contained within this IFB. Thereafter, each person, corporation or other entity submitting a response to this solicitation, must certify that each County Lobbyist, as defined by Los Angeles County Code Section 2.160.010, retained by the Bidder is in full compliance with Chapter 2.160 of the Los Angeles County Code and each such County Lobbyist is not on the Executive Office’s List of Terminated Registered Lobbyists.

The LACDA may declare a Bidder to be non-responsible for purposes of this contract if the LACDA, in its discretion, finds that the Bidder has done any of the following: (1) violated a term of a contract with the LACDA, the County or a nonprofit corporation created by the County; (2) committed an act or omission which negatively reflects on the Bidder’s quality, fitness or capacity to perform a contract with the LACDA, the County, any other public entity, or a nonprofit corporation created by the County, or engaged in a pattern or practice which negatively reflects on same; (3) committed an act or omission which indicates a lack of business integrity or business honesty; or (4) made or submitted a false claim against the LACDA, the County or any other public entity.
The Contractor Hearing Board shall conduct a hearing where evidence on the proposed debarment is presented. The Bidder and/or the Bidder’s representative shall be given an opportunity to submit evidence at that hearing. After the hearing, the Contractor Hearing Board shall prepare a tentative proposed decision, which shall contain a recommendation regarding whether the Bidder should be debarred, and, if so, the appropriate length of time of the debarment. The Bidder and the LACDA shall be provided an opportunity to object to the tentative proposed decision prior to its presentation to the Board of Commissioners.
Among other items, such improper consideration may take the form of cash, discounts, services, the provision of travel or entertainment, or tangible gifts.
There are two ways in which a Bidder might not be subject to the Jury Service Program. The first is if the Bidder does not fall within the Jury Service Program’s definition of “Contractor”. The Jury Service Program defines “Contractor” to mean a person, partnership, corporation of other entity which has a contract with the LACDA or a Subcontract with a LACDA Contractor and has received or will receive an aggregate sum of $50,000 or more in any 12-month period under one or more County contracts or subcontracts. The second is if the Contractor meets one of the two exceptions to the Jury Service Program. The first exception concerns small businesses and applies to Contractors that have 1) ten or fewer employees; and, 2) annual gross revenues in the preceding twelve months which, if added to the annual amount of this Contract is less than $500,000, and, 3) is not an “affiliate or subsidiary of a business dominant in its field of operation”. The second exception applies to Contractors that possess a collective bargaining agreement that expressly supersedes the provisions of the Jury Service Program. The Contractor is subject to any provision of the Jury Service Program not expressly superseded by the collective bargaining agreement.
If a Bidder does not fall within the Jury Service Program’s definition of “Contractor” or if it meets any of the exceptions to the Jury Service Program, then the Bidder must so indicate in the Certification Form and Application for Exception, and include with its submission all necessary documentation to support the claim such as tax returns or a collective bargaining agreement, if applicable. Upon reviewing the Bidder’s application, the LACDA will determine, in its sole discretion, whether the Bidder falls within the definition of Contractor or meets any of the exceptions to the Jury Service Program. The LACDA decision will be final.
If there is evidence that the lowest Bidder may not be responsible, the LACDA shall notify the Bidder in writing of the evidence relating to the Bidder’s responsibility. The LACDA shall provide the Bidder and/or the Bidder’s representative with an opportunity to present evidence as to why the Bidder should be found to be responsible and to rebut evidence, which is the basis for the LACDA determination of non-responsibility.
It is the intent of the LACDA that Certified LSBEs receive prompt payment for services they provide to LACDA Divisions. Prompt payment is defined as fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt of an undisputed invoice.
After consideration of any objections, or if no objections are received, a record of the hearing, the proposed decision and any other recommendations of the Contractor Hearing Board shall be presented to the Board of Commissioners. The Board of Commissioners shall have the right to modify, deny or adopt the proposed decision and recommendation of the Contractor Hearing Board.

If a Bidder has been debarred for a period longer than five years, that Bidder may, after the debarment has been in effect for at least five years, submit a written request for review of the debarment determination to reduce the period of debarment or terminate the debarment. The LACDA may, in its discretion, make a recommendation to the Contractor Hearing Board to reduce the period of debarment or terminate the debarment if it finds that the Bidder has adequately demonstrated one or more of the following: (1) elimination of the grounds for which the debarment was imposed; (2) a bona fide change in ownership or management; (3) material evidence discovered after debarment was imposed; or (4) any other reason that is in the best interests of the LACDA.
The Contractor Hearing Board will consider requests for review of a debarment determination only where (1) the Bidder has been debarred for a period longer than five years; (2) the debarment has been in effect for at least five years; and (3) the request is in writing, states one or more of the grounds for reduction of the debarment period or termination of the debarment, and includes supporting documentation. Upon receiving an appropriate request, the Contractor Hearing Board will provide notice of the hearing on the request. At the hearing, the Contractor Hearing Board shall conduct a hearing where evidence on the proposed reduction of debarment period or termination of debarment is presented. This hearing shall be conducted and the request for review decided by the Contractor Hearing Board pursuant to the same procedures as for a debarment hearing.
If the Bidder presents evidence in rebuttal to the LACDA, the LACDA shall evaluate the merits of such evidence, make a final determination concerning the responsibility of the Bidder for this contract and, if appropriate, outline the necessary measures that the Bidder would be required to take to be determined a responsible bidder in the future.
These terms shall also apply to proposed subcontractors of the Bidder on LACDA contracts.
The LACDA will give preference during the solicitation process to businesses that meet the definition of a DVBE, consistent with Chapter 2.211 of the Los Angeles County Code. A DVBE vendor is defined as:
A business which is certified by the State of California as a DVBE; or
A business which is verified as a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) by the Veterans Administration.
A business certified as DVBE with other certifying agencies pursuant to the Department of Consumer and Business Affairs’ (DCBA) inclusion policy that meets the criteria set forth by the two open bullets above.
The DCBA shall certify that a DVBE is currently certified by the State of California, by the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs, or is determined by the DCBA inclusion policy that meets the criteria set forth by the agencies in the two open bullets above.
Certified DVBEs may only request the preference if the certification process has been completed and certification is affirmed. Businesses must complete and submit in Bid Response section in this solicitation, Request for Preference Program Consideration and submit a letter of certification from the DCBA with their Bid.
Information about the State's DVBE certification regulations is found in the California Code of Regulations, Title 2, Subchapter 8, Section 1896 et seq., and is also available on the California Department of General Services Office of Disabled Veteran Business Certification and Resources Website at http://www.dgs.ca.gov/pd/Home.aspx
Information on the Department of Veteran Affairs SDVOSB certification regulations is found in the Code of Federal Regulations, 38CFR 74 and is also available on the Department of Veterans Affairs Website at: http://www.vetbiz.gov/.
The Contractor Hearing Board’s proposed decision shall contain a recommendation on the request to reduce the period of debarment or terminate the debarment. The Contractor Hearing Board shall present its proposed decision and recommendation to the Board of Commissioners. The Board of Commissioners shall have the right to modify, deny, or adopt the proposed decision and recommendation of the Contractor Hearing Board.
These terms shall also apply to subcontractors of Bidders on LACDA contracts.
