1-GFE Docs.xlsx

This document consists of Good Faith Efforts (GFE) forms required by Louisville Metro Government for the Aiken & Arnold Palmer Roundabout Construction project in Kentucky. The project involves an intersection upgrade to a single lane roundabout at Aiken Road and Arnold Palmer Boulevard. Bidders must submit completed GFE documentation with their bid documents on Bonfire, allowing the Human Relations Commission (HRC) to review the materials. The forms require bidders to identify all divisions of work they will self-perform, subcontract, or leave undetermined, along with comprehensive subcontractor and supplier information. Bidders must also document their good faith efforts to solicit quotes from certified minority, female, and historically excluded business enterprise (MFHBE) subcontractors and suppliers.

The GFE requirements establish specific participation goals: 15% for Minority Business Enterprises (MBE), 5% for Female Business Enterprises (FBE), and 0.5% for Historically Excluded Businesses (HBE). Bidders must complete Form GFE-1 listing all subcontractors and self-perform work with their legal business names, contact information, divisions of work assigned, contract amounts, and certification status. Form GFE-2 requires documentation of good faith efforts, including a log of all MFHBE subcontractors and suppliers contacted, requested quotes, bid activity results, and reasons for rejection if applicable. All supporting documentation must be attached, including request for quotes and evidence of outreach efforts. Incomplete submissions or those missing required signatures and subcontractor information will be rejected. For additional information, bidders should contact the Louisville Metro Human Relations Commission at 502-574-3631.
