As allowed by law, Contractors for City public works projects shall make a good faith <br /> effort to comply with the following minimum goals: (1) Ten(10)percent of the total dollar <br /> amount of the contract should be performed by Minority Business Enterprises if <br /> subcontracting opportunities are available and/or ten(10)percent of the total dollar amount <br /> of the contract should be for the purchase of goods, materials and equipment to be used for <br /> the public works project from Minority Business Enterprises with the ten(10) percent goal <br /> being met separately or in combination; and (2) Eighteen (18) percent of the total hours <br /> worked should be performed by minority workers. <br /> B.

"Good faith" means the contractor actively and aggressively <br /> sought participation by MBE sub-contractors or vendors or minority workers. The City <br /> shall consider the quality, quantity and intensity of efforts made by a contractor. The city <br /> may reject bids where, in the sole opinion of the city, the contractor failed to make a good <br /> faith effort. <br /> F.
