5-MBE_Utilization_Form.docx

This is a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) Utilization Form submitted to the City of New Haven, Connecticut for the FY 26-27 New Haven Public Schools Snow Removal/Control and Ice Treatment/Control - Zone 5 contract opportunity. Contractors submitting proposals are required to complete and submit this documentation as part of their bid package, with failure to do so resulting in a non-responsive submission and automatic rejection. The form requires contractors to provide a complete list of all subcontractors to be utilized on the project, including company name, address, type of work, dollar amount, outreach method used to secure the subcontractor, and appropriate company classification. Contractors must certify that they have read the City of New Haven's minority and women-owned small business participation goals and have achieved the required 25% participation goal.

The form mandates that contractors document their subcontractor selections and certify compliance with the 25% MBE/WBE utilization requirement through signatures from both the contractor and City of New Haven officials. This documentation requirement is critical to the bid evaluation process and serves as a mechanism to ensure that minority and women-owned business enterprises receive meaningful participation opportunities on public school district projects in Connecticut. The form revision date is September 25, 2024.
