About this file

This document is a Business Inclusion and Diversity (B.I.D.) Program requirements attachment issued by the Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA) for the 42-Inch Downriver Transmission Main Loop project, a water transmission infrastructure project in Michigan. The B.I.D. Program establishes mandatory and scored requirements for vendors to demonstrate how they will maximize economic opportunities for small, minority-owned, and economically disadvantaged business enterprises within GLWA's service territory across eight counties in Michigan. Vendors must submit a diversity plan as a pass/fail requirement, including documentation of good faith outreach efforts to certified subcontractors, certifications held by the prime vendor and any subcontractors, targeted outreach communications logs, and descriptions of diversity and inclusion strategies specific to the solicitation. The program became effective on July 1, 2024, with revision date of July 21, 2025.

Vendors can earn a maximum of 3 percent scoring points through the economic equity component based on business presence criteria: 1 percent for Michigan state business presence, 1 percent for presence in an economically disadvantaged GLWA service territory area as defined by median household income, and 1 percent for presence in any GLWA service territory area. The economically disadvantaged communities include Detroit, Flint, Hamtramck, Pontiac, and other low-income municipalities identified by U.S. Census Bureau data. Vendors must submit required forms through Euna Procurement and provide supporting documentation including diversity certifications from federal agencies, the state of Michigan, or Michigan local units of government such as DBE, MBE, WBE, and SBE designations. All B.I.D. compliance will be monitored throughout contract execution and completion.
