From time to time, projects will undergo a scope change prior to completion. This scope change will inevitably impact the Contractor's usage of M1WBE's and the originally submitted Utilization Plan. It Is the request of the City that when a project scope change occurs, the applicable Contractor shall utilize its best efforts to contract with M and W Subcontractors in a proportional manner as required by the scope change. Ail bidders are actively encouraged to reach out to the MIWBEs in St Joseph County, Indiana, other Indiana oounties, and Berrien County, Michigan to utilize a good faith effort to forge constructive and lasting business partnerships. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the award and performance of all City contracts shall comply with applicable federal, state, and Total laws. The City reserves the right to request verification of goal implementation throughout the course of the project if a goal exists, the winning respondent Is contractually obligated to utilize the M/WBE's firms in a manner consistent with what was represented in its quote submission to the City. Deviations to the utilization plan must be requested in writing and approved by the City. The City reserves the right to Initiate a change order in the amount equal to the difference In any subcontractor utilzation If the utilization plan change Is not approved. Verson 1 WO25 Page - 12 Public Works Quote 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) Inclusions Program Plan (CCSB 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 MW9B 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 contract 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 most the goal. Failure to make a good faith effort may result In rejection of your bid as non -responsive to the contract. Good faith eff>ds 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 offorts may result In a finding that the contractor was non-respons[ve, causing Its bid to be rejected even if it Is the lowest, Good faith efforts require act]ve, 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 sutwntractom. If the MWBE's costs are reasonable and not excessIve, the MW13E'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-MW13E 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 Contracior must provide the City with good reasons for this. The MWBE's Industry standing or membership in a specific group, organization, polltical or social affiliation (example: union v. non -union) Is not a basis to reject the MWBE for lack of qualifications. Verson 1132025 Page- 113 Public Works Quote • The ability or des Ire of a prime contractor to perform the work of the contract with its own ofganization Ream does not relieve the prime contractor of the need to make good faith efforts to use MBE sub contractors to meet the contract goal. EXAMPLE: Total Project Es6rnate Is $500,000. An MWBE goal of 10% Es set for a specific part of the project, Le.. $50,000 Only one MWBE submits a quote to the prime con(ractor, and it is S50,000. A non MWBE submits a quote of 345,000. Rejecting the MWBE bld may not meet the requirement of making a good faith effort to meet the contact goal because: 1) the MWBE quota Is within the goal percentage and dollar amount set for MWBE participation on the project; 2) selection of the MVVBE 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 MWBI- quotes Is not slgnircant in terms of the overall corittact amount (I.e„ Z % of total contract). If the MVVBE's quote is S53,000 and the non-MWSE bid Is $50,001), it may yet not be demonstrative of a good falth effort to reject the MWBE safely because the MWBE's quote is not the lowest. The excess is not greatly slgn►ficaGt la the total contract cost. and It could reasonab?y 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 tak#ng Into account the Quafity, Quantity, and Intensity of the efforts made by a contractor to meet the contract goal. Vofsion 1f3l2025 Page - 14 PubUo Wants Ouola GOOD FAITH EFFORTS MATERIALS TO BE INCLUDED ViIITH BID If a contractors bid does not meet the goal set for the contract, the contractor roust submit evidence of good faith efforts with its bid so the City can determine whether the contractor Is a responsive bidder, If the contractoes 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 goal to show good faith efforts can be found In the South Bend Inclusion Program Plan at Sectfon 8.0.3,d. as follows: (b) Where the bidder cannot achleve the contract goal, the bldder 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 MWSEs 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 solicitation. 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 contract 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 MWB Es 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 flood 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 long as such costs are reasonable. The ability or desire of a bidder to perform the work of a Contract with its awn organization does not relieve it of the responsibility to make good faith efforts on all soopes of work within which subcontracting opportunities are available. (4) Make efforts to assist interested MWBEs In obtaining banding, 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. Materiais that should toe 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 MWBEs In response to oontractoes advertisements, notices, or solictations, • Proof of contractoes 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 specifically In above Subsection {b} t3); • Proof of bids or quotes from MW13E's and those from non MWHE's when non MW812's bid or quote Is used; • Proof of efforts made by contractor to assist MWBE to participate in contract, where appropriate; and Version 1WO25 Page - 15 Public Works Quote ■ Any other fnfonnaWn tending la show that Contractor made active, aggressive efforts to maei the MME PartrClpallon 1Doa1 but despite good Wth efforts was unable to do so.
