3-GFE Docs.xlsx

This file contains Good Faith Efforts (GFE) documentation forms required by Louisville Metro Government for the Street Sweeping Services contract rebid. The forms must be completed in their entirety and submitted with bid documents through the Bonfire platform to allow review by the Human Relations Commission. The primary document is Form GFE-1, which requires bidders to provide complete information including bidder name, total bid amount, project name, bid number, and vendor classification status (MBE, FBE, HBE, or Local Vendor). Bidders must detail all divisions of work by indicating which work will be self-performed versus subcontracted, and must provide comprehensive subcontractor information including legal business names, contact persons, addresses, federal tax IDs, and email addresses. Form GFE-2 requires documentation of Good Faith Efforts through a MFHBE Subcontractor GFE Log that tracks all minority, female, and historically underutilized business subcontractors and suppliers contacted, including request for quotes, bid activity results, quote amounts, and supporting documentation for rejection reasons or alternative outreach efforts.

The forms establish specific subcontracting goals that bidders must meet or document good faith efforts toward achieving: 15% MBE goal, 5% FBE goal, and 0.5% HBE goal as percentages of the total bid amount. All subcontractor information must be completed with contract amounts and percentages of the total bid clearly identified. The forms include designated fields for company official signatures, printed names, dates, and office use sections for form status tracking and rejection documentation. Contact information for the Louisville Metro Human Relations Commission is provided for bidders requiring clarification, with phone, TDD, and fax options available at 745 W. Main Street, Suite 251, Louisville, KY 40202.
