About this file
This is Attachment No. 2, a "Determination of Good Faith Effort" form from HCC (Harris County Commissioners Court or Houston Community College) that bidders must complete to demonstrate compliance with small business participation requirements. The form requires bidders to indicate whether they plan to subcontract portions of the work and, if so, to provide detailed documentation of their good faith efforts to engage certified small businesses, including evidence of written notices to at least five certified small businesses, proper division of work into reasonable portions, documentation of rejection reasons with meetings to discuss rejections, and good faith negotiations without rejecting qualified lowest bidders.
The form includes sections for self-performance justification if no subcontracting is planned, and requires certification details for all proposed vendors including prime contractors and subcontractors with their certification types, numbers, and expiration dates. Bidders who are subcontracting but cannot meet solicitation goals or answer "no" to any of the four good faith effort criteria must submit a letter of justification. The document references Section 5.14 Small Business Development Program and requires the bidder's signature, title, and date for completion, serving as a compliance mechanism to ensure adherence to small business participation goals in government contracting.
