EXHIBIT F <br /> Bid/Proposal Attachment regarding the Darfur Contracting Act of 2008 <br /> Effective January 1, 2009, all Invitations for Bids (IFB) or Requests for Proposals (RFP) <br /> for goods or services must address the requirements of the Darfur Contracting Act of <br /> 2008 (Act). (Public Contract Code sections 10475, et seq.; Stats. 2008, Ch. 272). The <br /> Act was passed by the California Legislature and signed into law by the Governor to <br /> preclude State agencies generally from contracting with "scrutinized" companies that do <br /> business in the African nation of Sudan (of which the Darfur region is a part), for the <br /> reasons described in Public Contract Code section 10475. <br /> A scrutinized company is a company doing business in Sudan as defined in Public <br /> Contract Code section 10476. Scrutinized companies are ineligible to, and cannot, bid <br /> on or submit a proposal for a contract with a State agency for goods or services. <br /> (Public Contract Code section 10477(a)). <br /> Therefore, Public Contract Code section 10478 (a) requires a company that currently <br /> has (or within the previous three years has had) business activities or other operations <br /> outside of the United States to certify that it is not a "scrutinized" company when it <br /> submits a bid or proposal to a State agency. (See # 1 on the sample Attachment). <br /> A scrutinized company may still, however, submit a bid or proposal for a contract with a <br /> State agency for goods or services if the company first obtains permission from the <br /> Department of General Services (DGS) according to the criteria set forth in Public <br /> Contract Code section 10477(b). (See # 2 on the sample Attachment). <br /> The following sample Attachment may be included in an IFB or RFP to satisfy the Act's <br /> certification requirements of bidders and proposers. <br /> 17 <br />
