5-MBE_Utilization_Form.docx

This is a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) Utilization Documentation form issued by the City of New Haven for contractors bidding on the FY 26-27 New Haven Public Schools Snow Removal/Control and Ice Treatment/Control - Zone 2 contract in Connecticut. Contractors submitting proposals for this on-call snow removal and ice treatment service must complete this form as a mandatory component of their bid submission. The project requires qualified vendors to provide snow plowing equipment and operators for removal and ice treatment services at school grounds, driveways, parking lots, and walkways across designated facilities within Zone 2 during the 2026-2027 season. Contractors bidding on multiple zones must demonstrate sufficient equipment and staffing capacity to handle all proposed zones and must provide a complete equipment list in Appendix A. Failure to complete and submit the MBE Utilization form will result in rejection of the proposal as non-responsive.

The City of New Haven has established a 25% participation goal for minority and women-owned small businesses (MBE/WBE) on this project. Contractors must certify in their submission that they have achieved this 25% participation goal through documented subcontractor listings that include each subcontractor's name, address, type of work, dollar amount, outreach method used to secure the subcontractor, and appropriate company classification designating MBE or WBE status. All subcontractors to be used on the project must be listed by name with corresponding work scope and compensation amounts. The form requires contractor signature and authorization by the City of New Haven's Small and Disadvantaged Business (S&DB) office before approval.
