1-MWDBE Utilization Requirements Form for IFB and RFP.pdf

This is a Minority-Owned Women-Owned Business Enterprise (MWDBE) Utilization Requirements Form applicable to Invitations for Bid (IFB) and Requests for Proposal (RFP) issued by Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. The form establishes mandatory participation goals for minority and women-owned business enterprises in county procurement activities, including the Parks & Recreation Application System Evaluation project (RFP 9457).

The form outlines specific MWDBE utilization thresholds that vendors must meet or demonstrate good faith efforts to achieve. Contractors are required to document their planned use of certified MWDBE subcontractors and suppliers, identify the scope of work to be performed by these firms, and provide evidence of their outreach and commitment to diversity. The form serves as a compliance mechanism to ensure that a percentage of contract dollars flow to minority and women-owned businesses, with vendors obligated to report on their MWDBE participation throughout the contract performance period. Failure to meet utilization requirements or demonstrate adequate good faith efforts may result in bid rejection or contract non-award.
