8-26-204JH - Good Faith Effort Documentation.pdf

The document is an Equal Business Opportunity (EBO) Office Good Faith Effort Documentation form, designed to track outreach efforts for a contracting opportunity. The form provides a structured template for businesses to document their attempts to engage with potential subcontractors or suppliers, with sections for recording basic business information, methods of contact, and outcomes of those efforts. The form is divided into three sections with point allocations: Section A (25 points), Section B (20 points), and Section C (35 points), suggesting a comprehensive evaluation of good faith efforts in business opportunity outreach.

The template requires detailed information including business name, telephone number, type of work, dates of first and second contact attempts, methods of contact, and reasons for acceptance or rejection of potential subcontractors or suppliers. While no specific project details are filled in on this blank form, it appears to be a standardized document used to demonstrate a company's proactive approach to inclusive procurement practices, likely as part of a bid or proposal submission process. The point system implies that documented outreach efforts are considered a critical component of the evaluation, incentivizing businesses to make genuine attempts to engage diverse suppliers and contractors.
