PROCUREMENT (“API”s)

The API(s) approved for this project are selected below by ☒. Any bid that fails to comply with the API requirements after the period allowed for waiver requests has lapsed shall be deemed non-responsive. Fillable pdfs of all EBO forms can be found on the OEBO website at http://discover.pbcgov.org/oebo/Pages/Compliance-Programs.aspx. Also, see the EBO Ordinance and

Countywide PPM CW-O-043 for further information on APIs.

☐ Waiver

The Office of EBO has granted a waiver of the EBO Program API(s) for this Work Order.

☐ SBE Sheltered Market for Small Construction Contracts

Under this contract, Work Orders $100,000 and below are reserved for competition among only certified SBEs. Small prime construction contracts (single trade or multi-trade) valued at or below $100,000 may be reserved for sheltered market competition where only certified SBEs are eligible to submit bids or quotes.

☐ SBE Subcontracting Program

A minimum mandatory goal of 20% SBE participation is established for this contract. The EBO Office shall reduce or waive this goal when there is inadequate availability of SBE prime and / or subcontractor firms. Respondents/bidders may request such waivers at least seven (7) days prior to bid opening based on submission of adequate Good Faith Efforts documentation.

☒ SBE Price Preference For Single Trade Construction

The work orders under this contract shall be awarded to the lowest, responsive, responsible bidder unless a certified SBE’s bid is within ten percent (10%) of the lowest non-SBE bid, in which case the award shall be made to the certified SBE bidder. Construction contracts where there are no opportunities for subcontracting (i.e. single trade), may include a provision requiring awards of the contract to be made to the lowest responsive, responsible respondent or bidder unless a certified SBE’s bid is within ten (10) percent of the lowest non-small business bid, in which case the award shall be made to the certified small business bidder submitting the lowest responsive, responsible bid at the price that it bid.

☐ M/WBE Subcontracting Goal*

_______% (Up to 40%) of this Contract shall be subcontracted to certified M/WBEs owned by African

American, Hispanic American, Asian American, Native American, or non-minority women persons.

The EBO Office shall reduce or waive this goal when there is inadequate availability of M/WBE prime and

/ or subcontractor firms. Respondents/bidders may request such waivers at least seven (7) days prior to bid opening based on submission of adequate Good Faith Efforts documentation. In the absence of a waiver granted by the Office of EBO, a respondent/bidder who does not commit to satisfying the M/WBE subcontracting goal shall be considered non-Responsive.

☐ M/WBE Segmented Subcontracting Goals*

___________% of the M/WBE subcontracting goal shall be achieved through the utilization of certified M/WBEs owned by ☐ African American, ☐ Hispanic American, ☐ Asian American, ☐ http://discover.pbcgov.org/oebo/Pages/Compliance-Programs.aspx

Native American, and ☐ non-minority women persons (check applicable). M/WBE Segmented

Subcontracting Goals are established on an individual County contract wherein an overall combined

M/WBE goal is accompanied by subsets of one or more smaller goals that specifically target the participation of a particular segment of Minority Group Member segments or the WBE segment based upon that segment’s relative availability. Such segmented goals shall specifically target the participation of a particular segment of business enterprises owned and controlled by women or certain Minority Group

Members (e.g., African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, Asian-Americans, or Native Americans) based upon relative availability, as well as the existence of consistently and significantly greater patterns of underutilization and disparity within an industry as compared to other gender and Minority Group Member categories of M/WBEs. (For example, if an overall M/WBE subcontracting goal is set at 38% on a given contract, the segmented subcontracting goal may require that at least 23% of that 38% shall be satisfied through the utilization of African American and Hispanic subcontractors.) The EBO Office shall reduce or waive this goal when there is inadequate availability of M/WBE prime and / or subcontractor firms.

Respondents/bidders may request such waivers at least seven (7) days prior to bid opening based on submission of adequate Good Faith Efforts documentation. In the absence of a waiver granted by the

Office of EBO, a respondent/bidder who does not commit to satisfying the M/WBE segmented subcontracting goals shall be considered non-Responsive.

☒ M/WBE Joint Venture/Partnership/Teaming Incentive for Contracts greater than $2.5 million

_______ (Up to 20%) evaluation points out of 100 are reserved for qualifying M/WBE joint ventures.

See, Exhibit “Z” for joint venture/partnership teaming incentive program requirements. Incentives are established to promote joint ventures, partnerships, or teaming arrangements between larger established firms and M/WBE firms, or between and among SBE and M/WBE firms. For RFPs, the incentive may be for up to twenty percent (20%) of one hundred evaluation points to be reserved for qualifying M/WBE joint ventures where the certified M/WBE joint venture partner owns 50% or greater, and performs 50% or greater of the work, of the overall joint venture. Proportionately fewer evaluation preference points would be awarded to the joint venture based upon lesser percentages of ownership by the M/WBE partner.

☐ M/WBE Evaluation Preference for RFPs for Prime M/WBE firms

_________ (Up to 15%) of the evaluation points are reserved as a preference for proposals submitted by certified M/WBE firms. Evaluation panels shall assign point preferences equal to up to 15% of the total points assigned for the evaluation, scoring and ranking of construction-related proposals submitted by those certified M/WBE firms. An M/WBE awarded a prime contract may not subcontract more than 49% of the contract value to a non-M/WBE firm.
