CITY OF SOUTH BEND’S GUIDELINES FOR GOOD FAITH EFFORTS
BY CONTRACTORS IN MEETING MWBE CONTRACT GOALS
Under the City of South Bend’s Minority and Women’s Business Enterprise (MWBE) Inclusion Program Plan (COSB
Inclusion Plan), the City of South Bend (the City) is authorized to set “contract specific” goals to increase MWBE
participation in City contracts and procurements.
MWBE participation goals are set based on availability of MWBE contractors within the City’s geographic market
area identified in the City’s Disparity Study.
For contractors bidding on a construction, services, supplies or equipment contract where goals have been set for
all or parts of the project, below is information relevant to “good faith efforts” to meet the con tract goal.
When the City sets a contract goal, that means MWBE’s are in fact available to perform work on the contract .
Project bidders must try diligently to meet the goal. Failure to make a good faith effort may result in
rejection of your bid as non-responsive to the contract.
______________________________________________________________________________
Good faith efforts means actions undertaken by a contractor to achieve a contract goal which, by their scope,
intensity, and appropriateness to the objective, can be reasonably expected to fulfill the Program’s goals (City’s
Inclusion Plan, Section 4.B., No. 21).
___________________________________________________________________
A good faith effort is fully reviewable by the City . Where a contract goal is not met, contractors must provide
as much information as possible to help the City assess the contractor’s good faith efforts to achieve the
goal. Inadequate proof of good faith efforts may result in a finding that the contractor was non -responsive,
causing its bid to be rejected even if it is the lowest.
Good faith efforts require active, aggressive efforts by the prime contractor to obtain the contract MWBE
participation goal. Mere pro forma efforts are not good faith efforts. To satisfy the good faith efforts test:
•A prime contractor may not reject a MWBE’s bid solely because it is not the lowest bid received from
subcontractors. If the MWBE’s costs are reasonable and not excessive, the MWBE’s quote or bid
presumptively should be accepted on a contract requiring goals even if the MWBE’s bid is not the
lowest one received. However, if an MWBE’s bid or quote is unreasonable or excessive, the prime
contractor may reject the bid on that basis. The contractor has the burden of demonstrating the
excessiveness or unreasonableness of the MWBE’s bid or quote. Because the City must determine
whether a MWBE quote was unreasonable or excessive, Contractors must provide the City with
copies of each MWBE and non MWBE quote submitted to the bidder when a non -MWBE was
selected over an MWBE.
•A contractor may not reject a MWBE as being unqualified without sound reasons based on a thorough
investigation of the MWBE’s capabilities. If a prime contractor rejects a MWBE as unqualified, the
Contractor must provide the City with good reasons for this. The MWBE’s industry standing or
membership in a specific group, organization, political or social affiliation (example: union v. non-union)
is not a basis to reject the MWBE for lack of qualification.
•The ability or desire of a prime contractor to perform the work of the contract with its own organization
team does not relieve the prime contractor of the need to make good faith efforts to use MWBE sub
contractors to meet the contract goal.
Version 06/01/2022 Page - 13 Public Works Quote
EXAMPLE: Total Project Estimate is $500,000. An MWBE goal of 10% is set for a specific part of the project, i.e.,
$50,000. Only one MWBE submits a quote to the prime contractor, and it is $50,000. A non MWBE submits a
quote of $45,000. Rejecting the MWBE bid may not meet the requirement of making a good faith effort to meet the
contract goal because: 1) the MWBE quote is within the goal percentage and dollar amount set for MWBE
participation on the project; 2) selection of the MWBE quote guarantees that the contractor meets the set goal and
that its bid will be deemed responsive; and 3) the difference between the MWBE and non MWBE quotes is not
significant in terms of the overall contract amount (i.e., 1% of total contract).
If the MWBE’s quote is $53,000 and the non-MWBE bid is $50,000, it may yet not be demonstrative of a good faith
effort to reject the MWBE solely because the MWBE’s quote is not the lowest. The excess is not greatly significant
to the total contract cost, and it could reasonably be expected to be made up elsewhere in the contract while
guaranteeing full goal compliance.
The above examples are illustrative only. The City will make a fair and reasonable judgment as to good faith efforts
based on all information and documentation provided by bidders and taking into account the
Quality
Quantity, and
Intensity
of the efforts made by a contractor to meet the contract goal.
Version 06/01/2022 Page - 14 Public Works Quote
GOOD FAITH EFFORTS MATERIALS TO BE INCLUDED WITH BID
If a contractor’s bid does not meet the goal set for the contract, the contractor must submit evidence of good
faith efforts with its bid so the City can determine whether the contractor is a responsive bidder. If the contractor’s
bid meets the MWBE goal, evidence of good faith effort is not required, but it would be prudent to include some
evidence in case an error was made.
The information required of a contractor who has not achieved the contract g oal to show good faith efforts can be
found in the South Bend Inclusion Program Plan at Section 8.B.3.d. as follows:
(b) Where the bidder cannot achieve the contract goal, the bidder must provide proof of having made
good faith efforts to meet the goal. In making this determination of whether to issue a goal waiver, the City will
consider, at a minimum, the bidder’s efforts to:
(1) Solicit through all reasonable and available means (e.g., attendance at pre-bid meetings,
advertising and written notices) the interest of all MWBEs in the scopes of work of the contract.
The contractor shall provide interested MWBEs with timely, adequate information about the plans,
specifications, and requirements of the contract to allow such firms to respond to the solicitatio n.
The bidder must follow up initial solicitations with interested MWBEs.
(2) Select portions of the work to be performed by MWBEs in order to increase the likelihood that
the contract goal will be achieved. This includes, where appropriate, breaking out c ontract work
items into economically feasible units to facilitate participation, even when the bidder would
otherwise prefer to perform these work items with its own forces. It is the bidder’s responsibility to
make a portion of the work available to MWBEs and to select those portions of the work or
material needs consistent with the availability of such firms to facilitate their participation.
(3) Negotiate in good faith with interested MWBEs. Evidence of such negotiation includes the
names, addresses, and telephone numbers of firms that were contacted; a description of the
information provided regarding the plans and specifications for the work selected for
subcontracting; and why agreements could not be reached. The bidder may not reject MWBEs as
being unqualified without sound reasons based on a thorough investigation of their capabilities.
That there may be some additional costs involved in finding and using MWBEs is not in itself
sufficient reason for a bidder’s failure to meet the contract goal, as lon g as such costs are
reasonable. The ability or desire of a bidder to perform the work of a Contract with its own
organization does not relieve it of the responsibility to make good faith efforts on all scopes of
work within which subcontracting opportunities are available.
(4) Make efforts to assist interested MWBEs in obtaining bonding, lines of credit, or insurance as
required by the City or the bidder, where appropriate.
(5) Make efforts to assist interested MWBEs in obtaining necessary equipment, supplies,
materials, or related assistance or services, where appropriate.
Materials that should be submitted to support a contractor’s good faith efforts include:
•Copies of advertisements, notices, or solicitations from contractor to MWBE’s-- to include date and
time of issuance;
•A list of all locations where advertisements or notices to MWBE’s were placed or solicitations sent;
•Copies of communication between contractor and MWBE’s in response to contractor’s
advertisements, notices, or solicitations;
•Proof of contractor’s break-out of contract items into units feasible for performance by WMBE’s;
•Proof of communications between the contractor and MWBE regarding negotiations for
agreements, and why agreement could not be reached, as stated more s pecifically in above
Subsection (b) (3);
•Proof of bids or quotes from MWBE’s and those from non MWBE’s when non MWBE’s bid or quote
is used;
•Proof of efforts made by contractor to assist MWBE to participate in contract, where appropriate;
and
Version 06/01/2022 Page - 15 Public Works Quote
•Any other information tending to show that Contractor made active, aggressive efforts to meet the
MWBE participation goal but despite good faith efforts was unable to do so.

1.Contractor has not, nor has any other member, representative, or agent of the firm,
company, corporation or partnership represented by him, entered into any combination, collusion
or agreement with any person relative to the price to be bid by anyone at such letting nor to prevent

without reference to any other bid and without any agreement, understanding or combination with
any other person in reference to such bidding. Contractor further says that no person or persons,
firms, or corporation has, have or will receive directly or indirectly, any rebate, fee, gift,
commission or thing of value on account of such sale; and
2.Contractor certifies by submission of this proposal that neither contractor nor any of its
principals are presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, declared ineligible, or
voluntarily excluded from participation in this transaction by any Federal department or agency;
and
3.Contractor has not, nor has any successor to, nor an affiliate of, Contractor, engaged in investment

time-to-time.
b.As provided by Ind. Code § 5-22-16.5-8, as amended from time-to-time, a Contractor is
engaged in investment activities in Iran if either:
i.Contractor, its successor or its affiliate, provides goods or services of twenty million
dollars ($20,000,000) or more in value in the energy sector of Iran; or
ii.Contractor, its successor or its affiliate, is a financial institution that extends twenty

Contractor’s newly hired employees through the E-Verify Program as defined by I.C. 22-5-1.7-3.
Contractor’s documentation of enrollment and participation in the E-Verify Program is included
and attached as part of this bid/quote; and
5.Contractor shall require his/her/its subcontractors performing work under this public
contract to certify that the subcontractors do not knowingly employ or contract with an
unauthorized alien, nor retain any employee or contract with a person that the subcontractor
subsequently learns is an unauthorized alien, and that the subcontractor has enrolled in and is
participating in the E-Verify Program. The Contractor agrees to maintain this certification

6.Persons, firms, partnerships, corporations, associations, or joint venturers awarded a
contract by the City of South Bend through its agencies, boards, or commissions shall not
discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment in the performance of a City
contract with respect to hire, tenure, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment, or any matter
directly or indirectly related to employment because of race, sex, religion, color, national origin,
ancestry, age, gender expression, gender identity, sexual orientation or disability that does not
affect that person's ability to perform the work.
In awarding contracts for the purchase of work, labor, services, supplies, equipment, materials, or
any combination of the foregoing including, but not limited to, public works contracts awarded
under public bidding laws or other contracts in which public bids are not required by law, the City,
its agencies, boards, or commissions will consider the Contractor’s good faith efforts to obtain
participation by those subcontractors certified by the State of Indiana as a Minority Business

responsible, responsive bidder.
Contractors seeking the award of a City contract cannot be required to award a subcontract to an
MWBE; however, they may not unlawfully discriminate against said MBE/WBE. A finding of
noncompliance or a discriminatory practice shall prohibit that Contractor from being awarded a
City contract for a period of one (1) year from the date of such determination, and such
determination may also be grounds for terminating the contact to which the discriminatory practice
or noncompliance pertains.
7.The undersigned Contractor agrees that the following nondiscrimination commitment shall
be made a part of any contract which it may henceforth enter into with the City of South Bend,
Indiana or any of its agencies, boards or commissions.
Contractor agrees not to discriminate against or intimidate any employee or applicant for

directly or indirectly related to employment, because of race, religion, color, sex, gender
expression, gender identity, sexual orientation, handicap, national origin or ancestry. Breach of
this provision may be regarded as material breach of contract.
I, the undersigned bidder or agent as contractor on a public works project, understand my statutory
obligations to the use of steel products or foundry products made in the United States (I.C. 5-16-
8-1). I hereby certify that I and all subcontractors employed by me for this project will use steel
Version 9/29/2021 Page - 18 Public Works Quote
products or foundry products made in the United States on this project if awarded. I understand I
have an affirmative duty to notify the City in my bid that my proposal does not include the use of
steel products or foundry products made in the United States. I understand it is my sole obligation
and responsibility to provide a justification to the City, subject to review and approval, why the
cost of United States made steel or foundry products is unreasonable. Prior to award and upon
submission of bid which does not use steel products or foundry products made in the United States,
the City, through its director of public works, shall make a determination if the price of United
States made steel or foundry is unreasonable. I understand that violations hereunder may result in
forfeiture of contractual payments.
