1-GFE Docs.xlsx

This document contains Good Faith Effort (GFE) forms from Louisville Metro Government for a bus charter services contract procurement. The forms are specifically designed to track minority, female, and Hispanic business enterprise (MFHBE) participation goals, with established targets of 15% for Minority Business Enterprises (MBE), 5% for Female Business Enterprises (FBE), and 0.5% for Hispanic Business Enterprises (HBE). Louisville Parks and Recreation is seeking bids to establish a price contract for bus charter services that may include both in-town and out-of-town travel.

The GFE documentation requires bidders to comprehensively detail their subcontractor and self-perform work plans, including legal business names, contact information, division of work, and percentage of total bid allocation. Bidders must submit these forms with their bid documents through the Bonfire platform, allowing the Louisville Metro Human Relations Commission to review the documentation. The forms mandate that bidders demonstrate good faith efforts in soliciting and including minority, female, and Hispanic-owned businesses in their bid submissions, with specific sections for documenting outreach efforts, quote requests, and reasons for subcontractor selection or rejection.
