3-GFE Docs.xlsx

This file contains Good Faith Efforts (GFE) forms required by Louisville Metro Government for bidders on the Vector Control Pesticides contract for Louisville Metro Public Health and Wellness's mosquito control program. The forms consist of two main documents: GFE-1, which requires bidders to list all subcontractors and self-performed work divisions along with contact information and certification details, and GFE-2, a subcontractor outreach log documenting efforts to engage Minority Business Enterprises (MBE), Female Business Enterprises (FBE), and Hispanic Business Enterprises (HBE). Both forms must be completed in their entirety and submitted with bid documents through the Bonfire platform, allowing the Human Relations Commission to review the documentation.

The forms establish specific diversity goals including 15% MBE participation, 5% FBE participation, and 0.5% HBE participation. Bidders must document their outreach efforts to certified minority, female, and Hispanic-owned businesses, including requests for quotes, responses received, quote amounts, reasons for rejection, and other good faith efforts with supporting documentation. The Louisville Metro Human Relations Commission, located at 745 W. Main Street, Suite 251, Louisville, KY 40202, oversees the compliance process and can be contacted at 502-574-3631 for assistance. Incomplete forms will be rejected, and bidders must provide detailed information about all proposed subcontractors including legal business names, addresses, federal tax IDs, and the specific divisions of work to be performed.
