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) for <br /> goods or services must address the requirements of the Darfur Contracting Act of 2008 (Act). <br /> (Public Contract Code sections 10475, et seq.; Stats. 2008, Ch. 272). The Act was passed by <br /> the California Legislature and signed into law by the Governor to preclude State agencies <br /> generally from contracting with "scrutinized" companies that do business in the African nation of <br /> Sudan (of which the Darfur region is a part), for the reasons described in Public Contract Code <br /> section 10475. <br /> A scrutinized company is a company doing business in Sudan as defined in Public Contract <br /> Code section 10476. Scrutinized companies are ineligible to, and cannot, bid on or submit a <br /> proposal for a contract with a State agency for goods or services. (Public Contract Code <br /> section 10477(a)). <br /> Therefore, Public Contract Code section 10478 (a) requires a company that currently has (or <br /> within the previous three years has had) business activities or other operations outside of the <br /> United States to certify that it is not a "scrutinized" company when it submits a bid or proposal to <br /> 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 State <br /> agency for goods or services if the company first obtains permission from the Department of <br /> General Services (DGS) according to the criteria set forth in Public Contract Code section <br /> 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 /> 20 <br />
