4-GFE Docs.xlsx

This document consists of Good Faith Efforts (GFE) forms required by Louisville Metro Government for bidders on the Career Services for Disconnected Young Adults contract opportunity, which is being administered by the Greater Louisville Workforce Development Board (KentuckianaWorks) to serve young adults ages 16-24 in Bullitt, Henry, Oldham, Shelby, Spencer, and Trimble Counties in Kentucky. The forms must be completed in their entirety and submitted with bid documents on the Bonfire platform, allowing the Human Relations Commission (HRC) to review the documentation. The GFE package includes two primary forms: GFE-1, which requires bidders to identify all divisions of work they will self-perform versus subcontract, along with complete subcontractor information and certification details; and GFE-2, which documents good faith efforts made to contact Minority, Female, and Historically Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (MFHBE) subcontractors and suppliers, including evidence of solicitation attempts, quotes received, and reasons for acceptance or rejection.

The forms establish specific goals for subcontracting with certified minority, female, and disadvantaged businesses at 15 percent (MBE), 5 percent (FBE), and 0.5 percent (HBE) of the total bid amount, respectively. Bidders must provide detailed subcontractor information including legal business names, contact persons, street addresses, federal tax identification numbers, email addresses, division of work assignments, and subcontract amounts with corresponding percentages of the total bid. Alternatively, bidders may indicate they are not subcontracting any work by checking the "ALL" box. Form rejections may occur for incomplete bidder information, missing subcontractor details, unsigned documentation, or incomplete division of work sections. All inquiries regarding these forms should be directed to the Louisville Metro Human Relations Commission at 745 W. Main Street, Suite 251, Louisville, Kentucky 40202, telephone 502-574-3631, or TDD 502-574-4332.
