5-MBE_Utilization_Form.docx

This is an MBE Utilization Form required by the City of New Haven for the Environmental Remediation of 198 River Street and Associated Site Improvements project. The form mandates that all bidders submit a complete list of subcontractors including company name, address, type of work, dollar amounts, outreach methods used to secure the subcontractors, and appropriate company classifications. Contractors must certify that they have reviewed the City of New Haven's minority and women-owned business goals and achieved the required 25 percent participation rate by Minority Business Enterprises (MBEs) and Women Business Enterprises (WBEs). The form requires the contractor's signature, printed name and title, and date, along with approval by the City's Small Contractor Development (SCD) office. Submission of a completed MBE Utilization Form is mandatory, and failure to complete and submit the form will result in a non-responsive bid rejection.

The form emphasizes that contractors must demonstrate documented outreach efforts to secure MBE and WBE subcontractors as part of their bid submission. The classification of subcontractors as MBE, WBE, or both must be clearly identified on the form. This requirement aligns with the City of New Haven's Small Contractor Development Program mandates and is a critical component of bid evaluation and contract award criteria for this environmental remediation and site improvement project.
