1-GFE Docs.xlsx

This is a Good Faith Efforts (GFE) documentation form from Louisville Metro Government that bidders must complete when submitting proposals for state and local contract opportunities. The form consists of two main components: GFE-1, which requires bidders to list all subcontractor and self-performed work divisions along with detailed subcontractor information including business names, contact persons, addresses, division of work, subcontract amounts, and certification status; and GFE-2, which serves as a GFE log documenting outreach efforts to Minority, Female, and Hispanic Business Enterprises (MFHBE) including contact attempts, quote requests, bid activity, and reasons for rejection or acceptance. Both forms must be submitted with bid documents through the Bonfire platform and made viewable to the Human Relations Commission, with incomplete forms subject to rejection.

The forms establish specific diversity goals including 15% for Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), 5% for Female Business Enterprise (FBE), and 0.5% for Hispanic Business Enterprise (HBE) participation. Bidders must provide comprehensive documentation of their good faith efforts to include certified diverse subcontractors and suppliers, including supporting documentation for quote requests and rejection reasons. The Louisville Metro Human Relations Commission oversees compliance and can be contacted at 745 W. Main Street, Suite 251, Louisville, KY 40202, with phone number 502-574-3631 for assistance with form completion requirements.
