5-MBE_Utilization_Form.docx

This is an MBE Utilization Form issued by the City of New Haven for subcontractor documentation on the Kitchen Fire Suppression 26-27 project for New Haven Public Schools in Connecticut. The form requires contractors to submit a complete list of all subcontractors to be used on the project, including company name, address, type of work, dollar amount, outreach method used to secure the subcontractor, and appropriate company classification. The project involves providing full testing, inspection, preventive maintenance, on-call repairs, and emergency services for kitchen fire suppression systems at New Haven Public Schools locations, with preventative inspections required on a semi-annual basis. Contractors must submit bids for regular and overtime hourly wage rates and a percent markup over original material invoices.

The City of New Haven has established a 25% minority and women-owned business (MBE/WBE) participation goal for this project. Contractors must certify that they have achieved this goal as a mandatory requirement; failure to complete and submit the MBE Utilization Form will result in the bid being deemed non-responsive and rejected. Contractors are required to document their outreach methods used to identify and secure subcontractors and must classify each subcontractor as either an MBE or WBE. Submission of this completed form is a prerequisite for bid acceptance.
