SFPUC-LBEs cannot be counted towards meeting the LBE subcontracting requirement(s). Prime and Joint Venture level LBE participation cannot be counted towards meeting any of the LBE subcontracting requirement(s). LBE subcontractors must be certified with C MD in the scope of work they are being listed to perform. All Bidders shall submit documented Good Faith efforts with their Bids as directed on C MD Form 2B, except those who exceed the above-stated subcontracting requirement(s) by at least 35%.
