A Bid or Proposal may be rejected as non-responsive if at the time of submitting the Bid or Proposal the Contractor and/or Subcontractors identified by the Contractor as part of the Bid or Proposal do not meet the Local Business, Local Small Business and/or Local-State Disabled Veterans Business requirements established for that Contract opportunity. A Contractor may not satisfy the Local Business requirement by virtue of its own status as a Local Business. A Contractor shall satisfy the Local Business requirement only through the use of Subcontractors. A Contractor may satisfy the Local Small Business requirement if the Contractor itself is a Local Small Business. If a Contractor is not a Local Small Business, it shall satisfy the Local Small Business requirement through the use of Subcontractors. A Contractor may satisfy the Local-State Disabled Veterans Business requirement if the Contractor itself is a Local-State Disabled Veterans Business. If a Contractor is not a Local- State Disabled Veterans Business, it shall satisfy the Local- State Disabled Veterans Business requirements through use of subcontractors. Before the award of a Contract, BOAC may determine that it is in LAWA’s best interest to award the Contract to a business that did not meet the requirements established for that Contract opportunity. BOAC shall include findings supporting its determination.
