3-Local Small Business Minority Business Form.pdf

This is a Local Small Business/Minority Business certification form for the Savannah Airport Commission (SAC), a government entity in Savannah, Georgia. The form serves as documentation for businesses seeking to qualify for local and minority business enterprise (MBE) designations in connection with the procurement of one (1) mini-sweeper with vacuum equipment. To qualify as a Local Small Business Enterprise (LSBE), vendors must be physically located within the geographic boundaries of the City of Savannah and must provide a copy of their City of Savannah Business Tax Certificate. The form requires submission of business name, address, business owner point of contact information, and email address. This certification supports the City of Savannah's Savannah First Initiative, which maintains a registry of eligible Savannah-based small businesses for local procurement opportunities.

Vendors seeking minority business designation must similarly provide their business name, address, owner point of contact, and email address, along with a copy of their Minority Business Certificate for validation. The form indicates that both LSBE and MBE designations are optional, marked as "Not Applicable," suggesting that participation in these programs is not mandatory for bid submission but may provide advantages or set-asides for qualifying businesses. Companies must maintain active LSBE registration with the City of Savannah to be considered for this designation on applicable procurement opportunities.
