Community Level Contracting
The practice of unbundling large contracts into small contracts which provides small businesses the opportunity to bid.
The City of LA has identified sheltered bid opportunities that can be accessible to the small business contracting community. These projects are divided into work packages of $100,000 or less which is conducive for small construction firms to work directly with the City of LA as Primes. This procurement establishes a pre-qualified on-call list of contractors which may also be utilized within the different departments in the City.
