C. Project Goals and Good Faith Efforts <br />' 1. Subcontracting is not required but if a subcontractor is used a Good Faith <br /> Effort must be made to fill the stated goal. <br /> 2. The Contractor shall put forward good faith efforts to "actively and <br /> aggressively" seek the participation of MBE or minority workers. Discuss <br /> options to assist in "actively and aggressively" seeking this participation. <br />' It is expected that a demonstration of"active" and "aggressive" will include actual <br /> direct contact with or working with a minority subcontractor in a manner that leads them <br /> to provide actual quotes for the work to be subcontracted. This is benefited by the <br /> development of an ongoing relationship with minority subcontractors. <br /> 3. The City's expectation of what will be required to demonstrate a Good <br /> Subcontracting/Supplier Goal: 10% of total dollar amount should be <br /> performed by MBE if subcontracting opportunities are available and/or <br /> 10% of the total dollar amount of the contract should be for the purchase <br /> of goods, material and equipment to Minority Business Enterprises. <br /> ' a. Subcontracting is not required but if a subcontractor is used a Good <br /> Faith Effort must be made to fill the stated goal. <br /> ' The Contractor shall put forward good faith efforts to "actively and <br /> aggressively" seek the participation of MBE or minority workers. It is <br /> expected that a demonstration of"active" and "aggressive" will include <br /> actual direct contact with or working with a minority subcontractor in a <br /> manner that leads them to provide actual quotes for the work to be <br /> subcontracted. This is benefited by the development of an ongoing <br /> ' relationship with minority subcontractors. <br /> ' b. What is the City's expectation of what will be required to demonstrate <br /> a Good Faith Effort? <br /> ' The City regards a good faith effort, at a minimum, to include direct <br /> contacts with 2-3 MBE subcontractors for each subcontracting <br /> opportunity until the goal is met. The contacts must be with <br /> subcontractors that provide the type of work that is being subcontracted. <br /> Mass e-mail contacts alone are not considered a good faith effort. <br /> Documented follow up requests are required if no response is received. <br /> The bidder is to provide all work, all contacts, the method of contact <br /> (email,phone,personal, etc.), and the results of each contact. Email <br /> requests with no reply or other evidence of direct contact are not <br /> ' considered to be acceptable direct contacts. <br /> ' Page 2 of 3 <br />
