The document is a Small Business Enterprise (SBE) Status Form for Pinellas County, Florida, specifically designed for a construction administration and inspection professional services contract funded by federal resources. The project involves construction, engineering, and inspection (CEI) services for wastewater system improvements in fourteen manufactured home communities (MHCs), with the primary focus on Lake Seminole Estates and potential additive work for four additional MHCs 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 scoring system that awards up to 100 points based on Small Business Enterprise certification: 100 points if the prime firm is a certified Pinellas County SBE, 75 points for utilizing more than one certified SBE sub-consultant, 50 points for utilizing one certified SBE sub-consultant, and 0 points if no SBE certification is present. Proof of certification is required for each firm claiming SBE status. The project is specifically funded through the RESTORE Act, focusing on ecosystems sustainability and economic revival of Gulf Coast states, with the CEI services aimed at upgrading outdated wastewater collection systems in manufactured home communities.
