5-MBE_Utilization_Form.docx

This is a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) Utilization Documentation form issued by the City of New Haven, Connecticut, for the Fort Wooster Park Improvements project. The form requires contractors to submit a complete listing of all subcontractors to be used on the project, including company name, address, type of work to be performed, dollar amount allocated, outreach method used to identify the subcontractor, and appropriate company classifications. The project involves site removals and preparation, new paths and picnic areas, new plantings, and site furnishings. Submission of the completed form is mandatory; failure to complete and submit the form will result in the bid being deemed non-responsive and rejected.

The City of New Haven has established a 25% participation goal for minority and women-owned small businesses on this project. Contractors must certify that they have read the city's MBE goals and have achieved the required 25% participation threshold in their subcontractor utilization. The form requires contractors to identify whether subcontractors are classified as MBE (Minority Business Enterprise) or WBE (Women Business Enterprise) and to document the outreach methods employed to secure each subcontractor. The form was last revised on September 25, 2024.
