2-Attachment 3 Small Business Unavailability Certificate.pdf

This document is a Small Business Unavailability Certificate (Attachment No. 3), which is a form designed to document a bidder's attempts to engage small businesses for a specific project. The form provides a structured template for recording details of outreach efforts to small businesses, including the date contacted, business name, telephone number, contact person, materials or services sought, and the results of those contact attempts. The form requires the bidder to certify that they made a good faith effort to involve small businesses but were unable to secure their participation.

The certificate serves as a formal documentation mechanism for proposers to demonstrate compliance with small business participation requirements. By completing this form, the bidder attests that the listed small businesses were either unavailable, unable to prepare a proposal, or had their proposal rejected. The form is intended to be submitted with proposal documents as part of a waiver process for small business participation, indicating that the proposer made reasonable efforts to include small businesses in the project but could not successfully do so. The document includes space for six potential small business contacts and requires a signature to validate the information provided.
