4-GFE Docs.xlsx

This is a Good Faith Efforts (GFE) documentation file from Louisville Metro Government related to a contract opportunity for Owner's Representative Services for the Sun Valley Pool Replacement Project located at 6505 Bethany Lane, Louisville, Kentucky. The file contains two required forms—GFE-1 and GFE-2—that must be completed in their entirety and submitted with bid documents on Bonfire. The GFE-1 form requires bidders to provide comprehensive information including total bid amount, bidder contact details, bid number, and project name, along with a detailed breakdown of divisions of work to be self-performed versus those to be subcontracted. Bidders must indicate whether they will self-perform all work or utilize subcontractors, and must provide complete subcontractor information including legal business name, contact person, certified status, street address, and federal tax identification number. The GFE-2 form functions as a log documenting good faith efforts to contact Minority, Female, and Historically Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (MFHBE) subcontractors and suppliers, requiring bidders to detail all outreach activities, quote requests, responses received, and reasons for acceptance or rejection of quotes.

The file establishes specific contracting goals for MFHBE participation: 15 percent for Minority Business Enterprises (MBE), 5 percent for Female Business Enterprises (FBE), and 0.5 percent for Historically Disadvantaged Businesses (HBE). All submissions must be authorized for review by the Louisville Metro Human Relations Commission, which serves as the oversight body. Contact information for the Human Relations Commission is provided at 745 W. Main Street, Suite 251, Louisville, Kentucky 40202, with phone number 502-574-3631 and TDD 502-574-4332. The forms include sections for identifying local vendors and suppliers, documenting the percentage of total bid allocated to each subcontractor, and providing supporting documentation of good faith outreach efforts. Incomplete submissions will be rejected, with specific rejection reasons tracked including missing signatures, incomplete subcontractor information, missing bidder information, or incomplete division of work sections.
