Small businesses that wish to receive these notifications shall subscribe to the Department's mailing list on the Department's website at https://ccc.ca.gov/who-we-are/architectural-engineering-contracting/. A failure of the Director to send a copy of an RFQ to any firm shall not operate to invalidate any contract.
