1-GFE Docs 2.pdf

This is a Good Faith Efforts (GFE) documentation form for the Louisville Metro Government, specifically designed for use in the LMG Affordable Housing Database procurement. The form is intended to be completed by bidders and submitted with bid documents on the Bonfire platform to demonstrate compliance with minority and female-headed business enterprise (MFHBE) subcontracting requirements. Bidders are required to document their outreach efforts to MFHBE subcontractors and suppliers, including the names of businesses contacted, the division of work for which quotes were requested, quote amounts received, and explanations for any rejections. The completed GFE log must be submitted to the Louisville Metro Human Relations Commission at 745 W. Main Street, Suite 251, Louisville, Kentucky 40202, either by fax at 502-574-3577 or phone at 502-574-3631, allowing HRC staff to review the documentation.

The form requires bidders to provide detailed bid activity information, including the bidder name, bid number, bid total, and project identification. Bidders must attach supporting documentation for all quote requests sent to MFHBE firms and provide detailed explanations for any quotes that were rejected, along with documentation of other good faith efforts undertaken to secure MFHBE participation. This procurement is related to Louisville Metro's Cabinet for Economic Development's initiative to develop a searchable, free affordable housing database that would enable low- and moderate-income residents to locate affordable housing units throughout Louisville Metro while incorporating code enforcement data regarding property violations and maintenance issues.
