Appendix A <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 /> ' City staff can have no contact with bidders regarding their bid submittal <br /> after bids have been opened, so their only opportunity to demonstrate a <br /> good faith effort, is to provide all supportive evidence with the bid <br /> ' document. For the benefit of the review that must be conducted by City <br /> staff, it is helpful for the bidders to group their direct contacts according <br /> to the subcontracting opportunity. <br /> ' c. If a proposal or bid for a public works contract meets or exceeds <br /> twenty percent(20%) of the total dollar amount of the contract,the <br /> City will award a two percent(2%)bonus of up to a maximum of fifty <br /> thousand dollars($50,000). Payment of this extra amount or bonus <br /> will be made at the end of the contract and after the City has verified <br /> and documented that MBE expenditures met or exceeded twenty <br /> percent (20%)of total contract value. <br /> 2. Minority Workers Goal: 18%total hours worked should be performed by <br /> minority workers. <br /> a. The City tracks this goal through forms provided by the City, a copy is <br /> located within the special provisions.
