3-Local Small Business Minority Business Form.pdf

This is a Local Small Business/Minority Business Form used by the City of Savannah in conjunction with the Savannah Airport Commission's gutter replacement and maintenance solicitation. The form collects information from businesses seeking to qualify for local small business enterprise (LSBE) and minority business enterprise (MBE) designations. Proposers must be located within the geographic boundaries of the City of Savannah and registered as an LSBE with the City to be considered under the Savannah First Initiative. The form requires submission of a City of Savannah Business Tax Certificate for LSBE validation and a Minority Business Certificate for MBE validation. Required information includes the business name, address, business owner's point of contact name, and email address. Proposals for the gutter replacement and maintenance services at airport canopy structures must be submitted through https://savannahairport.bonfirehub.com/ by 5:00 P.M. EST on September 11, 2026, at which time they will be opened by the Commission's Purchasing Manager.

The form does not address pricing terms, funding amounts, or contract duration directly, as it functions as a certification and qualification document rather than a pricing or award document. All proposal preparation costs are the sole responsibility of the proposer and will not be reimbursed by the Savannah Airport Commission. Completion of this form appears to be optional, as indicated by the "Not Applicable" checkboxes for both the LSBE and MBE designations, suggesting that businesses may participate in the RFP without claiming either designation status.
