5-4663 - Letcher County - Affirmative Steps.pdf

This document is an Affirmative Steps form (Form 200.321) issued by Letcher County Fiscal Court in Kentucky, outlining federal compliance requirements under 2 CFR 200.321 for contracting with small and minority businesses, women's business enterprises, and labor surplus area firms. The form applies to the 404 Buyout Demolition RFB Round 5 procurement and relates to an invitation for bid for asbestos abatement services at residential and commercial properties acquired through a voluntary property buyout grant program. Contractors and subcontractors must take affirmative steps to maximize participation by qualified enterprises in the procurement process.

Letcher County Fiscal Court requires that all contractors and subcontractors implement specific measures to ensure equitable business participation, including placing qualified enterprises on solicitation lists, actively soliciting potential sources, dividing total requirements into smaller tasks or quantities when economically feasible, establishing delivery schedules that encourage participation, and utilizing support services from organizations such as the Small Business Administration and the Minority Business Development Agency. These requirements are mandatory conditions for contractors seeking to participate in this federally-funded project and must be documented and demonstrated throughout the procurement and contract performance process.
