2-GFE Docs.xlsx

This is a Good Faith Efforts (GFE) documentation form issued by Louisville Metro Government's Human Relations Commission for competitive bidding on state and local contracts in Kentucky. The file contains two standardized forms—GFE-1 and GFE-2—that bidders must complete and submit with their bid documents on the Bonfire platform to qualify for consideration on the Glacier Run Exhibit LSS Media Carbon Filter Replacements project at the Louisville Zoo. The project involves the removal and replacement of granulated activated carbon for three Neptune Benson Filter vessels model 60SRF-4. Bidders are required to provide complete information including total bid amounts, identification of work to be self-performed versus subcontracted, and detailed subcontractor information with corresponding bid amounts and percentages of the total bid.

The GFE forms establish specific diversity goals for the procurement: 15 percent Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), 5 percent Female Business Enterprise (FBE), and 0.5 percent Historically Black Enterprise (HBE) participation. Bidders must document all good faith efforts to solicit quotes from certified MFHBE subcontractors and suppliers, including documentation of contact attempts, quotes received or reasons for rejection, and quote amounts as percentages of the total bid. Forms must be completed in their entirety and submitted with bid documents; incomplete submissions will be rejected. The Louisville Metro Human Relations Commission, located at 745 W. Main Street, Suite 251, Louisville, Kentucky 40202, administers the GFE requirements and must be granted access to view submitted documents.
