The Small Business preference will be a reduction in the bid submitted by the Small Business contractor, for bid comparison purposes, by an amount equal to 5 percent of the amount bid by the apparent low bidder, the amount not to exceed$50,000. If this reduction results in the Small Business contractor becoming the low bidder,or in a precise tie with a Non-Small Business apparent low bidder,then the contract will be awarded to the Small Business contractor on the basis of the actual bid of the Small Business contractor notwithstanding the reduced bid price used for bid comparison purposes. The Non-Small Business Subcontractor preference will be a reduction in the bid submitted by the Non-Small Business contractor requesting the preference, for bid comparison purposes,by an amount equal to 5 percent of the amount bid by the apparent low bidder, the amount not to exceed $50,000. If this reduction results in the Non-Small Business contractor requesting the preference becoming the low bidder, or in a precise tie with a Non-Small Business apparent low bidder not requesting the preference,then the contract will be awarded to the Non-Small Business contractor requesting the preference on the basis of its actual bid notwithstanding the reduced bid price used for bid comparison purposes. Application of the Non-Small Business Subcontractor preference shall not result in the displacement of a Small Business in winning the award. Attention is also directed to"California Company Preference"of these special provisions. The amount of the California company reciprocal preference shall be equal to the amount of the preference applied by the state of the nonresident contractor with the lowest responsive bid,except where the"California company"is eligible for a California Small Business Preference or a California Non-Small Business Subcontractor Preference, in which case the preference applied shall be the greater of the two,but not both. If the bidder submitting the lowest responsive bid is not a "California company" and with the benefit of the reciprocal preference,a"California company's"responsive bid is equal to or less than the original lowest responsive bid,the "California company"will be awarded the contract at its submitted bid price except as provided below. Small Business bidders shall have precedence over Non-Small Business bidders in that the application of the"California company" preference for which Non-Small Business bidders may be eligible shall not result in the denial of the award to a Small Business bidder. DVBE bidders shall have precedence over Non-DVBE bidders in that in the event the application of the Small Business preference to more than one bidder results in a precise tie in the bid amounts used for comparison purposes, the award shall go to the DVBE that is also a small business.
