O’Brian Splashpad & Restroom – Good Faith Waiver
Summary: The low bid that the city received did not meet M/WBE goals, but the bidder,
C&E excavation, showed evidence of good faith by reaching out to multiple M/WBE
companies and did include some M/WBE utilization on their bid. The next lowest bidder
was approx. $30k higher and did also not meet the goals.
Projected MBE spend - $8,924
Projected WBE spend - $5,566
