Non-SBE 5% Calculator Continue
Are you SBE certified?
If not, then select 25% Paving Net SBE participation to qualify for a Non-SBE 5% bid advantage.

Background: Contractors that are SBE certified by the state of California receive a 5% bid advantage.

Example: A $1M SBE bid wins over a $950,000 non-SBE bid.

If you are NOT SBE certified, then you may include in your bid package a "notification" that
your firm commits to subcontract at least 25% of its total cost proposal price with SBE
certified Paving Net. You will then qualify for a 5% bid advantage.

Cost/Advantage:
On a $1M bid, you are committed to utilizing Paving Net for $250,000 (construction supply).
This will give you a $50,000 bid advantage.
Enter your total project bid amount: $ A

(Optional) Enter other SBE subcontractor(s) total participation: $ B
Note: If you have other certified SBE subs adjust PN's participation amount downward.
Be sure to list them on the "notification" document we will provide.
