Small Business Enterprise Outreach Program
The Valley Water Small Business Enterprise Outreach Program Policy provides bid and proposal evaluation preference points to bidders and proposers certified by the California Department of General Services (DGS) as a Small Business. Non-small business bidders and proposers may also receive preference if they fulfill the 30% DGS-certified Small Business subcontractor/subconsultant participation goal. If the goal is not met, good faith efforts to subcontract with Small Businesses are required to be considered responsive.
