The document is a Small Business Enterprise (SBE) Status Form for Pinellas County, Florida, specifically related to a Construction Administration & Inspection Professional Services project for Mobile Home Community (MHC) wastewater system improvements. The project involves construction, engineering, and inspection (CEI) services for upgrading wastewater collection systems in fourteen manufactured home communities, with the primary focus on Boca Ciega Residents' Association, Inc. and potential additive work for three additional mobile home parks contingent on grant fund availability. The project is funded by the U.S. Department of the Treasury Award SLFRP4653 and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Resilient Florida Grant, with a substantial completion deadline of June 30, 2026.

The SBE Status Form outlines a point-based evaluation system for small business participation, with a maximum of 100 points awarded based on SBE certification. Points are allocated as follows: 100 points if the prime firm is a certified Pinellas County SBE, 50 points for utilizing one certified SBE sub-consultant, 75 points for using more than one certified SBE sub-consultant, and 0 points if no SBE certification is present. The project emphasizes local small business involvement and requires proof of certification for firms claiming Pinellas County SBE status. Funding sources include the RESTORE Act, with the project aimed at improving wastewater infrastructure in mobile home communities through federal and state grant mechanisms.
