anticipated project. In this section, the prime contractor will show their
proposal to meet the established M/WBE subcontracting goals.
Asa prerequisite for City Council Award, the contractor must demonstrate
and document its good faith effort to meet the established goal. Any
apparent low bidder/most advantageous proposer who fails to adequately
document good faith efforts to subcontract or purchase significant material
supplies from Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprises

contractor’s failure to be a “responsive” or “responsible” bidder.
This section should include all subcontractors, both M/WBEs and non-
MIWBEs, and should also include the prime contractor's percentage.
Contact the Office of Business Diversity if you require additional lists of
certified M/WBE companies to perform additional scopes of work.
