10-10 MBE-WBE Contractor Unavailability Certificate if applicable.pdf

This is an MBE-WBE Contractor Unavailability Certificate document associated with the Slippery Rock Borough Storm Sewer Project bid opportunity in Butler County, Pennsylvania. The certificate serves as a compliance document for bidders to declare their minority business enterprise (MBE) and women business enterprise (WBE) participation status in response to the project's goals for minority and female participation. Sealed bids for the storm sewer project are due electronically via PennBid by 9:00 a.m. on May 11, 2026, with bid opening occurring the same day at the Butler County Government Center located at 124 West Diamond Street, Butler, PA. Questions regarding the project must be submitted through PennBid's "Ask A Question" feature no later than May 6, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Each proposal requires a bidder's bond or certified check in the amount of not less than ten percent of the bid amount, and bids cannot be withdrawn for sixty days following submission.

The contract documents explicitly address prevailing labor wage rates established under the Davis-Bacon Act, labor standards, nondiscrimination in hiring practices, and mandatory participation goals for MBE and WBE contractors. The MBE-WBE Contractor Unavailability Certificate allows bidders to document circumstances where they are unable to meet minority or female participation requirements. The County of Butler reserves the right to waive any informality in bids and to accept or reject any and all bids or portions thereof. Additional contract requirements include BABA compliance, participation by Section 3 residents and businesses, and related matters as specified in the bid package documents available at no cost on PennBid.
