Short Summary
The first document governs the conduct of members of the commission, directors, and other lottery employees regarding their interactions with lottery contractors successful in a major procurement. It prohibits these individuals from accepting any consideration or employment with such contractors for a specified period after their term or employment with the lottery ends. Violation of this provision may result in termination of the lottery contractor’s contract. The Attorney General is responsible for investigating violations and recommending civil remedies. The second document governs the evaluation process for potential Lottery Contractors for the California State Lottery. It applies to individuals or entities that submit bids, proposals, or offers for contracts related to goods or services for the California State Lottery, excluding materials, supplies, services, and equipment common to state agencies. The document requires bidders to disclose their name, address, and relevant information about their ownership structure, officers, directors, stockholders, trustees, members, and partners. Additionally, if a bidder plans to subcontract a substantial portion of the work, the same disclosure requirements apply to the subcontractor. The document also allows the California State Lottery Commission to request additional information from potential contractors, such as their business operations in other states, gaming licenses, criminal history, bankruptcy or litigation involvement, and political contributions. Non-compliance with the disclosure requirements may result in the inability to enter into or enforce a contract. The third document requires Lottery Contractors to perform their contracts consistent with the laws of the state, federal law, and laws of the state or states in which they are performing or producing the contracted goods or services. The fourth document governs the procurement and contracting procedures for the California State Lottery. The director is authorized to purchase or lease goods and services necessary for the lottery’s operation, subject to the approval of the commission. However, the director is prohibited from contracting with private parties for the operation and administration of the lottery, except for procurements that integrate certain functions. In all procurement decisions, the director must award contracts to the responsible supplier submitting the lowest and best proposal that maximizes the benefits to the state. The director must consider the sensitive nature of the lottery and act to promote integrity, security, honesty, and fairness. The commission is required to adopt competitive bidding procedures for procurements or contracts exceeding $100,000. The document also establishes subcontracting guidelines, applies contracting standards and rules, and requires the commission to report on the participation of small and disadvantaged businesses in lottery contracts.
