2027-WCSU-ITB-002 Goal Calculator CT CHRO Contract Compliance.pdf

This is a Computed Goals document prepared by Western Connecticut State University (WCSU) for the 2027-WCSU-ITB-002 Westside Classroom Building Boiler Replacement Project. The project involves the replacement of one existing boiler at the Westside Classroom Building located on WCSU's Westside Campus in Danbury, Connecticut. All labor and materials required for the complete replacement are to be provided by the selected contractor. The project is subject to Connecticut Department of Labor's Prevailing Wage Rates requirements, and state contract compliance requirements including nondiscrimination statutes apply.

The project has $350,000 in state funding allocated. Connecticut state law mandates project-specific spending allocation goals based on available Small Business Enterprises (SBEs) and Minority Business Enterprises (MBEs). The computed goals for this project are as follows: an overall SBE goal of 10.45% ($36,567.00), an MBE sub-goal of 3.26% ($11,398.00), and an SBE-Only (Non-MBE) goal of 7.19% ($25,170.00). These goals were calculated using NAICS code 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors) with a statewide market area comprising 737 firms. The selected contractor must demonstrate good faith effort to meet these spending allocation goals as a condition of contract award.
