5-MBE_Utilization_Form.docx

This is an MBE Utilization Form for the City of New Haven, Connecticut, required as part of contractor submissions for the FY 26-27 New Haven Public Schools Snow Removal/Control and Ice Treatment/Control services. The form requires contractors to submit a complete list of all subcontractors to be used on the project, including subcontractor name, address, type of work, dollar amount, outreach method used to secure the subcontractor, and appropriate company classification. Contractors must certify that they have reviewed the City of New Haven's goals for minority and women-owned small business participation and have achieved the required 25% participation goal. The form specifies that submission of a completed MBE Utilization Form is mandatory; failure to complete and submit the form will result in a non-responsive designation and rejection of the contractor's response.

The form requires contractors to identify whether subcontractors are classified as Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) or Women Business Enterprises (WBE) and to document the outreach methods used to identify and secure each subcontractor. The contractor must sign and date the certification, along with approval by the City of New Haven's Small Contracting Division (SCD). This MBE utilization requirement of 25% participation reflects the City's commitment to promoting equitable business opportunities and ensuring that minority and women-owned enterprises have meaningful participation in public contracting opportunities.
