About this file
This document is Attachment No. 2, titled "Determination of Good Faith Effort," used by HCC (Houston Community College) to evaluate bidders' efforts to include certified small businesses in their contract proposals. The form requires bidders to indicate whether they will subcontract any portion of the work and, if so, demonstrate good faith efforts to engage small businesses through four specific criteria: providing written notices or advertising to at least five certified small businesses, dividing work into reasonable portions according to industry standards, documenting reasons for rejection or meeting with rejected small businesses, and negotiating in good faith without rejecting qualified low-bidding subcontractors.
The document establishes requirements for HCC's Small Business Development Program, requiring bidders who plan to subcontract to complete supporting documentation (Attachments No. 3 and No. 4) and submit justification letters if they cannot meet solicitation goals or answer "no" to any of the four good faith effort criteria. Bidders choosing to self-perform the entire contract must provide justification explaining how they will fulfill all work with their own resources. The form includes a section for listing all proposed vendors (prime contractors and subcontractors) with their small business certification types, numbers, and expiration dates, and requires the bidder's signature, title, and date for completion.
