LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


SB 1219, Hancock. Small Business Procurement and Contract Act: employment social enterprises.
Existing law, the Small Business Procurement and Contract Act, grants a specified preference for small businesses and microbusinesses in the award of a contract for goods, services, or information technology to the state and in the construction of state facilities. Existing law defines small business and microbusiness for these and other purposes. Existing law permits a state agency and the California State University to award specified types of contracts with a value of between $5,000 and $250,000 to a certified small business, including a microbusiness and a disabled veteran business enterprise, without complying with certain competitive bidding requirements, provided the agency obtains price quotations from 2 or more small businesses, including microbusinesses, or 2 or more disabled veteran business enterprises. Existing law establishes the Office of Small Business and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise Services and prescribes duties for the office, which include maintaining a bidders list of small businesses and disabled veteran businesses and noting which small businesses also qualify as microbusinesses. Existing law prescribes penalties for a small business or microbusiness that provides incorrect information or withholds information that leads to its incorrect classification as such an entity and is awarded a contract because of that classification. Existing law requires the Department of General Services to make available a report on contracting activity.
This bill would, on and after October 1, 2018, grant an employment social enterprise a preference and status similar to a small business or microbusiness as described above. The bill would define an employment social enterprise as a California-based social purpose corporation, a benefit corporation, or a nonprofit corporation that earns 51% or more of its enterprise revenue from the production or assembly of goods or the provision of services and that demonstrates evidence in its articles of incorporation or bylaws of its mission to provide employment with on-the-job and life skills training to a direct labor force that is comprised of 80% or more of enterprise participants who face multiple barriers to employment. The bill would define an “enterprise participant who faces multiple barriers to employment” as an individual that meets certain criteria, including that he or she has employment barriers, is or was homeless, or is an out-of-school youth, as specified. The bill would require the above-described report by the department to include information relating to the level of participation of employment social enterprises in state contracting. The bill would require specified documents and facts to be certified under penalty of perjury. By expanding the crime of perjury, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
This bill would incorporate additional changes to Sections 14837 and 14838 of the Government Code proposed by SB 1176 that would become operative if this bill and SB 1176 are enacted and this bill is enacted last. This bill also would incorporate additional changes to Section 10111 of the Public Contract Code proposed by SB 159 that would become operative if this bill and SB 159 are enacted and this bill is enacted last.
Vote: MAJORITY   Appropriation: NO   Fiscal Committee: YES   Local Program: YES  

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:


SECTION 1.

 The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(a) Unrelenting unemployment and deepening poverty are a reality for many Californians. According to the United States Census Bureau, California’s poverty rate is 16.4 percent as compared to a national rate of 15.6 percent. It is estimated that nearly a quarter of California’s children, 22.7 percent, are living in households with annual incomes below the federal poverty line. A significant contributing factor to these poverty rates are the education and basic skill deficit of many Californians from rural and inner-city areas, historically underserved population groups, and those who are more recently encountering employment challenges, including the formerly incarcerated and the homeless. Without comprehensive, thoughtful, and strategic intervention, the economic disparity within the state will only increase.
(b) Smaller-sized businesses and social enterprises can function as economic engines. The social enterprise model uses entrepreneurial activity to pursue a social purpose. Social enterprises advance the social mission through market-based strategies and may be structured as independent for-profit businesses, nonprofit ventures, or a business unit or division within a larger nonprofit organization. Small businesses and social enterprises are expected to become increasingly important due to their ability to be more flexible and better suited to meet niche market needs and respond to the necessities of vulnerable communities. However, their small to medium size and double bottom line mission also entail challenges when meeting regulatory requirements, accessing capital, competing for large-size contracts, and marketing their goods and services.
(c) California is home to a dynamic and growing sector of social enterprises. According to the national Social Enterprise Alliance, there are 98 social enterprises from California registered in its database. The San Francisco chapter was founded in 2009 and the Los Angeles chapter was founded in 2010. In 2015, 80 California-based employment social enterprises, from startups to mature businesses, competed in a national grant solicitation for the Social Innovation Fund/REDF. Eight were awarded funding and are projected to generate up to 14,000 job opportunities and over $375 million in revenues between 2016 and 2020. In the Four-Year County Small Business and Social Enterprise Utilization Plan of Los Angeles County, prepared in May 2016, 19 social enterprises meet the Transitional Jobs Opportunity Preference serving the county’s workforce. Although this is still a very young sector, a recent report by Mathematica Policy Research found that for every dollar spent by a social enterprise, there was a $2.23 return on investment to society. This includes benefits to taxpayers, including reductions in government transfers, incarceration, and health and housing costs paid for by the public sector. Furthermore, the study also showed that the percentage of total income from government transfers decreased from 71 percent to 24 percent and the total monthly income for workers increased by 91 percent. This study concludes that investing in the growth of social enterprises, as well as their additional support services for workers, can have a positive impact on people’s lives, while lessening the burden on government resources.
(d) (1) In major economies like those in the United Kingdom and Australia, social enterprise is a mature sector. United Kingdom government statistics identify around 70,000 social enterprises contributing £24 billion to the economy and employing nearly a million people. According to the Social Enterprise Survey for 2015, 50 percent of social enterprises reported a profit, 73 percent of social enterprises earn more than 75 percent of their income from trade, and 27 percent of social enterprises have the public sector as their main source of income. Furthermore, 59 percent of social enterprises employ at least one person who is disadvantaged in the labor market, and for 16 percent of social enterprises, this group forms at least half of all employees.
(2) Another recent study, by Social Ventures in Australia, found that social enterprises have demonstrated that they can create jobs for people excluded from the mainstream workforce, particularly the long-term unemployed, and showed that this equity outcome is also efficient, as government investment in the creation of businesses is returned via taxation revenue and savings in social security expenditure. In developing economies of Latin America, Asia, and sub-Saharan Africa, social entrepreneurs are creating enterprises that help solve social problems in their countries with a reduced reliance on government or international aid to finance it.
(e) (1) Under the social enterprise umbrella, there are mission-driven businesses known as employment social enterprises (ESE) which are dedicated to hiring and assisting people who face barriers to employment. They combine commercial activities–producing, manufacturing, and distributing products and services–with a transitional job that has supportive management and assistance to foster the success of people who want to work but are often not given the opportunity by mainstream employers. ESEs combine market wage-paying transitional jobs while providing essential job readiness services that help participants develop appropriate work habits and basic skills, build real work experience, and manage life issues. A 2015 California study, the Mathematica Jobs Study, showed that the percentage of people who had a job six to 12 months after their ESE position was 20 points higher than people who received only traditional workforce training support.
(2) Due to the ESE social mission, the cost of doing business includes on-the-job workforce and employment training for a labor force that is largely comprised of participants with significant barriers to employment. In the nonprofit sector, business profits are reinvested into the business to support training and grow more jobs. It is also common for businesses to leverage other public and private resources to support the additional cost of workforce training.
(f) ESEs consist of the following elements:
(1) Small and medium-size nonprofit or for-profit businesses that sell goods or services.
(2) A mission to employ low-income people with multiple barriers to employment.
(3) Short- or long-term wage-paying employment that combines real work, training and skill development, and supportive services for participants who are overcoming barriers to employment.
(g) Elements of participant training and supportive services may include one or more of the following:
(1) Experience with workplace norms and general behaviors that facilitate success in any work environment and on-the-job training.
(2) Worksite supervision which includes feedback on performance and coaching to help participants become work ready and transition to traditional, unsupported employment.
(3) Linking participants to services that can help them stabilize their lives, avoid relapse of behaviors such as drug abuse or criminal activity, and obtain life supports related to needs such as child care or housing.
(4) Job search and retention services which includes assistance with resumes and cover letters, interview preparation, and job searches.
(5) Job development and placement services to identify job openings, schedule interviews, and follow up with employers after a participant has an interview.
(6) Promote and support the completion of industry-recognized certificates.
(7) Connections and enrollment support to community colleges, educational institutions, vocational training and certificate programs, preapprenticeship and apprenticeship programs, or other opportunities to pursue career and education advancement.

14838.
 In order to facilitate the participation of small business, including microbusiness and employment social enterprise in the provision of goods, information technology, and services to the state, and in the construction (including alteration, demolition, repair, or improvement) of state facilities, the directors of the department and other state agencies that enter those contracts, each within their respective areas of responsibility, shall do all of the following:
(a) Establish goals, consistent with those established by the Office of Small Business Certification and Resources, for the extent of participation of small businesses, including microbusinesses, and employment social enterprises, in the provision of goods, information technology, and services to the state, and in the construction of state facilities.
(b) Provide for a small business or employment social enterprise preference, or nonsmall business preference for bidders that provide for small business, microbusiness, and employment social enterprise subcontractor participation, in the award of contracts for goods, information technology, services, and construction, as follows:
(1) In solicitations where an award is to be made to the lowest responsible bidder meeting specifications, the preference to small business, microbusiness, and employment social enterprise shall be 5 percent of the lowest responsible bidder meeting specifications. The preference to nonsmall business bidders that provide for small business, microbusiness, or employment social enterprise subcontractor participation shall be, up to a maximum of 5 percent of the lowest responsible bidder meeting specifications, determined according to rules and regulations established by the Department of General Services.
(2) In solicitations where an award is to be made to the highest scored bidder based on evaluation factors in addition to price, the preference to small business, microbusiness, or employment social enterprise shall be 5 percent of the highest responsible bidder’s total score. The preference to nonsmall business bidders that provide for small business, microbusiness, or employment social enterprise subcontractor participation shall be up to a maximum 5 percent of the highest responsible bidder’s total score, determined according to rules and regulations established by the Department of General Services.
(3) The preferences under paragraphs (1) and (2) shall not be awarded to a noncompliant bidder and shall not be used to achieve any applicable minimum requirements.
(4) The preference under paragraph (1) shall not exceed fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) for any bid, and the combined cost of preferences granted pursuant to paragraph (1) and any other provision of law shall not exceed one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000). In bids in which the state has reserved the right to make multiple awards, this fifty thousand dollar ($50,000) maximum preference cost shall be applied, to the extent possible, so as to maximize the dollar participation of small businesses, including microbusinesses, and employment social enterprises in the contract award.
(5) A bidder may be awarded a preference for both of the following in a single bid:
(A) A small business preference or a nonsmall business preference for bidders that provide for small business or microbusiness subcontractor participation.
(B) An employment social enterprise preference or a nonsmall business preference for bidders that provide for employment social enterprise subcontractor participation.
(c) Give special consideration to small businesses, microbusinesses, and employment social enterprises by both:
(1) Reducing the experience required.
(2) Reducing the level of inventory normally required.
(d) Give special assistance to small businesses, microbusinesses, and employment social enterprises in the preparation and submission of the information requested in Section 14310.
(e) Under the authorization granted in Section 10163 of the Public Contract Code, make awards, whenever feasible, to small business, microbusiness, and employment social enterprise bidders for each project bid upon within their prequalification rating. This may be accomplished by dividing major projects into subprojects so as to allow a small business, microbusiness, or employment social enterprise contractor to qualify to bid on these subprojects.
(f) Small business, microbusiness, and employment social enterprise bidders qualified in accordance with this chapter shall have precedence over nonsmall business bidders in that the application of a bidder preference for which nonsmall business bidders may be eligible under this section or any other provision of law shall not result in the denial of the award to a small business, microbusiness, or employment social enterprise bidder. In the event of a precise tie between the low responsible bid of a bidder meeting specifications of a small business, microbusiness, or employment social enterprise and the low responsible bid of a bidder meeting the specifications of a disabled veteran-owned small business, microbusiness, or employment social enterprise, the contract shall be awarded to the disabled veteran-owned small business, microbusiness, or employment social enterprise. This provision applies if the small business, microbusiness, or employment social enterprise bidder is the lowest responsible bidder, as well as if the small business, microbusiness, or employment social enterprise bidder is eligible for award as the result of application of the small business, microbusiness, and employment social enterprise bidder preference granted by subdivision (b).
(g) In order to qualify for the incentives under this section, an employment social enterprise shall demonstrate and certify under penalty of perjury the following:
(1) Not less than 70 percent of the total labor hours, excluding supervisors and administration, required to perform the information technology or construction contract shall be completed by an enterprise participant who faces multiple barriers to employment.
(2) Not less than 70 percent of the total labor hours, excluding supervisors and administration, required to manufacture the goods and perform the contract shall be completed by an enterprise participant who faces multiple barriers to employment. For an employment social enterprise with 25 or fewer total employees, 50 percent of the total labor hours, excluding supervisors and administration, required to manufacture the goods and perform the contract shall be completed by an enterprise participant who faces multiple barriers to employment.
(3) Not less than 80 percent of the total labor hours, excluding supervisors and administration, required to provide services and perform the contract shall be completed by an enterprise participant who faces multiple barriers to employment.
(h) The amendments made to this section by the act adding this subdivision shall become operative on October 1, 2018.

(B) An employment social enterprise preference or a nonsmall business preference for bidders that provide for employment social enterprise subcontractor participation.
(c) Give special consideration to small businesses, microbusinesses, and employment social enterprises by both:
(1) Reducing the experience required.
(2) Reducing the level of inventory normally required.

(e) Under the authorization granted in Section 10163 of the Public Contract Code, make awards, whenever feasible, to small business, microbusiness, and employment social enterprise bidders for each project bid upon within their prequalification rating.

(f) Small business, microbusiness, and employment social enterprise bidders qualified in accordance with this chapter shall have precedence over nonsmall business bidders in that the application of a bidder preference for which nonsmall business bidders may be eligible under this section or any other provision of law shall not result in the denial of the award to a small business, microbusiness, or employment social enterprise bidder. In the event of a precise tie between the low responsible bid of a bidder meeting specifications of a small business, microbusiness, or employment social enterprise and the low responsible bid of a bidder meeting the specifications of a disabled veteran-owned small business, microbusiness, or employment social enterprise, the contract shall be awarded to the disabled veteran-owned small business, microbusiness, or employment social enterprise. This provision applies if the small business, microbusiness, or employment social enterprise bidder is the lowest responsible bidder, as well as if the small business, microbusiness, or employment social enterprise bidder is eligible for award as the result of application of the small business, microbusiness, and employment social enterprise bidder preference granted by subdivision (b).
(g) In order to qualify for the incentives under this section, an employment social enterprise shall demonstrate and certify under penalty of perjury the following:
(1) Not less than 70 percent of the total labor hours, excluding supervisors and administration, required to perform the information technology or construction contract shall be completed by an enterprise participant who faces multiple barriers to employment.
(2) Not less than 70 percent of the total labor hours, excluding supervisors and administration, required to manufacture the goods and perform the contract shall be completed by an enterprise participant who faces multiple barriers to employment. For an employment social enterprise with 25 or fewer total employees, 50 percent of the total labor hours, excluding supervisors and administration, required to manufacture the goods and perform the contract shall be completed by an enterprise participant who faces multiple barriers to employment.
(3) Not less than 80 percent of the total labor hours, excluding supervisors and administration, required to provide services and perform the contract shall be completed by an enterprise participant who faces multiple barriers to employment.
(h) If the directors of the department and other state agencies that enter into those contracts are unable to reach the goals established under subdivision (a) in the year in which the act that added this subdivision takes effect, the directors of the department and other state agencies may count towards that goal, contracts with firms that would be considered a small business or microbusiness under the amendments made to Section 14837 by the act adding this subdivision.
