This file contains Good Faith Efforts (GFE) forms required by Louisville Metro Government for bidders on state and local contract opportunities in Kentucky. The forms must be completed in their entirety and submitted with bid documents on Bonfire, with access granted to the Human Relations Commission. Form GFE-1 requires bidders to provide company information, including bidder name, total bid amount, and certification status (MBE, FBE, HBE, or Local Vendor), along with a detailed breakdown of divisions of work that will be self-performed versus subcontracted. The form requires bidders to list all subcontractors and suppliers, including their legal business names, contact information, divisions of work assigned, subcontract amounts, and percentage of total bid. Form GFE-2 documents good faith efforts to solicit quotes from minority, female, and historically underutilized business enterprise (MFHBE) subcontractors and suppliers, requiring bidders to record the names of contacted businesses, divisions of work, whether quotes were requested and received, quote amounts, and reasons for rejection if applicable.

Both forms must be signed by a company official and submitted to the Louisville Metro Human Relations Commission at 745 W. Main Street, Suite 251, Louisville, Kentucky 40202 (phone: 502-574-3631; fax: 502-574-3577). The forms establish participation goals for MBE (15%), FBE (5%), and HBE (0.5%) subcontractors and suppliers. The related contract opportunity is for an Asset Forfeiture Specialist position to work with the Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD) Asset Forfeiture Unit, providing liaison services to federal law enforcement agencies, technical guidance, administrative assistance, and investigative research on cases involving seized assets. Incomplete forms will be rejected, with notification provided regarding missing signatures, incomplete subcontractor information, missing bidder information, or incomplete divisions of work sections.
