3-GFE Docs.xlsx

This file contains Good Faith Efforts (GFE) documentation forms required by the Louisville Metro Government for the Uniforms for Louisville Fire Department contract opportunity in Kentucky. The GFE forms must be completed in their entirety and submitted with bid documents on the Bonfire platform. The documentation includes two primary forms: GFE-1, which requires bidders to provide a complete Subcontractor and Self-Perform Work List detailing all divisions of work, subcontractor information, and certification status; and GFE-2, which documents the bidder's good faith efforts in contacting Minority, Female, and Historically Black Enterprise (MFHBE) subcontractors and suppliers for quotes. Both forms require bidder identification information, bid amounts, project name, bid number, and contact details for the Louisville Metro Human Relations Commission located at 745 W. Main Street, Suite 251, Louisville, KY 40202.

The GFE forms establish specific participation goals for MFHBE vendors: 15% for Minority Business Enterprises (MBE), 5% for Female Business Enterprises (FBE), and 0.5% for Historically Black Enterprises (HBE). Bidders must either self-perform all work, designate specific divisions of work for subcontractors, or indicate undetermined work assignments. The GFE-2 form requires detailed documentation of all solicitation efforts, including the names of MFHBE subcontractors and suppliers contacted, divisions of work requested, quote amounts received or reasons for no response, and explanations for rejected quotes. All forms must be signed by a company official, completed without omissions, and submitted with supporting documentation attached to the Louisville Metro Human Relations Commission by the bid deadline to avoid rejection.
