C. Project Goals and Good Faith Efforts <br /> 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 /> 1 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 /> 1 a.

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 /> 1 Page 2 of 3 <br />
