3-Local Small Business Minority Business Form.pdf

This is a Local Small Business/Minority Business Form applicable to the Savannah Airport Commission's procurement of one (1) Pull Behind Chipper in Savannah, Georgia. The form requires vendors to document their eligibility status as either a Local Small Business Enterprise (LSBE) or Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), or both. To qualify as an LSBE, the business must be physically located within the geographic boundaries of the City of Savannah and must be registered with the City of Savannah. Vendors seeking LSBE designation must provide a copy of their City of Savannah Business Tax Certificate for validation. Similarly, vendors applying for MBE designation must submit a copy of their Minority Business Certificate. The form requests standard business identification information including business name, address, business owner's point of contact name, and email address for both designations.

The LSBE registration requirement supports the City of Savannah's Savannah First Initiative, which creates a registry of Savannah-based small businesses eligible to respond to designated procurement opportunities. Completion of this form is mandatory for vendors to be considered for any LSBE or MBE set-asides or preferences associated with this contract opportunity. Vendors may indicate "Not Applicable" if they do not qualify for either designation. The procurement involves a brand new, unused Pull Behind Chipper that must be free of defects, include all standard equipment and accessories from the original equipment manufacturer, and comply with applicable State and Federal safety and emissions regulations.
