4-GFE Docs.xlsx

This file contains Good Faith Efforts (GFE) documentation forms required by the Louisville Metro Government (Human Relations Commission) for bidders responding to a Light, Medium, and Heavy-Duty Truck Parts and Service contract opportunity in Kentucky. The GFE forms must be submitted with bid documents on the Bonfire platform and completed in their entirety to avoid rejection. The documentation requires bidders to disclose all divisions of work they will self-perform versus subcontract, identify all subcontractors and suppliers being utilized, and demonstrate documented efforts to solicit quotes from Minority, Female, and Historically Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (MFHBE) vendors. The forms require bidders to provide their total bid amount, bid number, project name, and contact information.

The contract opportunity involves specific participation goals for certified subcontractors: 15% Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), 5% Female Business Enterprise (FBE), and 0.5% Historically Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (HBE) participation. Bidders must complete Form GFE-1 listing all subcontractors with their legal business names, addresses, federal tax IDs, division of work, sub-amounts, and certification status. Form GFE-2 requires documentation of good faith efforts to contact MFHBE subcontractors and suppliers, including detailed records of contact attempts, quotes received or rejected, quote amounts, and reasons for any rejections. All supporting documentation must be attached. Bidders who choose not to subcontract any work may indicate this by checking the "ALL" box on the forms. The Louisville Metro Human Relations Commission can be contacted at 745 W. Main Street, Suite 251, Louisville, KY 40202, with phone and TDD numbers provided for clarification.
