4-GFE Docs.xlsx

This file contains Good Faith Efforts (GFE) forms required by Louisville Metro Government for bidding on a Price Contract for Repairs of Ditch Witch and Bandit brand equipment. The forms must be completed in their entirety and submitted with bid documents on the Bonfire platform, with copies made available to the Human Relations Commission (HRC). The contract encompasses repairs and general maintenance services for Ditch Witch and Bandit brand equipment and attachments, including mini skid steers, woodchippers, full-size skid steers, and related attachments. Bidders must be certified to perform warranty repairs and general repairs on the equipment they propose to work on. The GFE documentation is due concurrent with bid submission and serves as a mandatory component of the bidding process.

Louisville Metro Government has established specific subcontracting and supplier participation goals that bidders must address through the GFE forms: a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) goal of 15 percent, a Female Business Enterprise (FBE) goal of 5 percent, and a Historically Black Enterprise (HBE) goal of 0.5 percent of the total bid amount. Bidders must complete Form GFE-1, which details self-perform work, undetermined work divisions, and all subcontractor and supplier information including certification status and dollar amounts, or certify that no subcontracting work will be performed. Form GFE-2 requires bidders to document Good Faith Efforts through a log of contacted MFHBE subcontractors and suppliers, including request for quotes, bid activity results, quote amounts, and supporting documentation. Both forms require signature certification and must be submitted to the Louisville Metro Human Relations Commission at 745 W. Main Street, Suite 251, Louisville, KY 40202.
