3-GFE Docs.xlsx

The document is a Good Faith Efforts (GFE) form from Louisville Metro Government, specifically GFE-1 and GFE-2 forms related to minority, female, and historically underrepresented business enterprise (MFHBE) participation in a procurement process. The forms are designed to document subcontractor information, division of work, and efforts to engage diverse suppliers, with specific goals including 15% Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), 5% Female Business Enterprise (FBE), and 0.5% Historically Black Enterprise (HBE) participation.

The forms require bidders to detail their subcontractor strategies, including listing potential subcontractors, their certified status, division of work, and percentage of total bid. The documentation is to be submitted through Bonfire, a procurement platform, and will be reviewed by the Louisville Metro Human Relations Commission. The forms are part of a broader initiative to broaden the pool of qualified local vendors for goods, services, small construction, and repair, as evidenced by the related state and local contract opportunity seeking a Local Supplier Development and Entrepreneurship Consultant for Kentucky's Equity in Procurement and Contracting Task Force.
