Assistance to Small (SBE) and/or Service-Disabled Veteran (SDV) Owned Businesses

The Metro Procurement Code (Section 4.44) and Regulations (SectionSection R4.44.020.04) provide options for the Purchasing Agent to maximize the participation and performance of Metro approved SBE/SDV businesses.

Assistance is provided to offerors who are SBE/SDV, or who need assistance in locating potential SBE/SDV subcontractors or suppliers. For assistance, offerors are encouraged to contact the BAO by email at BAO@Nashville.gov or call the BAO at (615) 880-2814. For more information and the forms go to the following website: http://www.nashville.gov/Finance/Procurement/Minority-and-Women-Business- Assistance/SMWBE-Lists-and-Forms.aspx.

If the Offeror is a SBE/SDV business, Metro considers the work the SBE/SDV firm commits to self-perform. If the work is subcontracted or otherwise procured, only the work performed by a Metro approved SBE/SDV subcontractor or supplier may be considered for the purposes of award incentive. All SBE/SDV businesses included in offers must be registered online with Metro and approved by the BAO prior to the solicitation closing date.

Several ways that SBE/SDV participation may be promoted in individual solicitations are described below.

Cost Incentive - The Metro Procurement Code (Section 4.44) and Regulations (SectionSection R4.44.020.04) provide options for the Purchasing Agent to provide a cost incentive to maximize SBE/SDV participation. If this solicitation includes a cost incentive for the participation of approved SBE/SDV business, the methodology for evaluating the SBE/SDV participation is described in the regulations found at https://www.nashville.gov/Portals/0/SiteContent/Finance/Purchasing/Procurement%20Standard/Covenant NonDiscrimination.pdf.

Set-Aside - Some solicitations are the result of an SBE/SDV set-aside. In those cases only approved SBE/SDV firms may submit an offer. The solicitation will state in the opening description if it is an SBE/SDV set-aside solicitation.

Threshold - If the solicitation has a SBE/SDV threshold, only offers that meet the established threshold will be eligible for SBE/SDV cost incentives. Incentive consideration, if included, is calculated on a pro rata basis for those offers in excess of the established threshold.

Requirement - If the solicitation states a required SBE/SDV participation level, then only those offerors committing to achieve or exceed the established amount will be considered responsive to the solicitation.

The solicitation will not contain an SBE/SDV cost incentive.

Type No Response Required SBE/SDV Participation and Misrepresentation

Offerors must acknowledge that they understand the SBE/SDV participation expectations described in the next paragraph.

* Cost Incentive is applicable to this solicitation mailto:BAO@Nashville.gov http://www.nashville.gov/Finance/Procurement/Minority-and-Women-Business-Assistance/SMWBE-Lists-and-Forms.aspx http://www.nashville.gov/Finance/Procurement/Minority-and-Women-Business-Assistance/SMWBE-Lists-and-Forms.aspx https://www.nashville.gov/Portals/0/SiteContent/Finance/Purchasing/Procurement%20Standard/CovenantNonDiscrimination.pdf https://www.nashville.gov/Portals/0/SiteContent/Finance/Purchasing/Procurement%20Standard/CovenantNonDiscrimination.pdf

Standard Solicitation Requirements Offeror also acknowledges that they understand the consequences of failing to comply with their SBE/SDV participation commitments. If Contractor fails to comply with their SBE/SDV businesses participation commitments, or it is determined that their SBE/SDV status or the SBE/SDV status of any subcontractor/subconsultant/supplier, is shown to be false; Metro may terminate the Contract and charge Contractor for any costs incurred by Metro as a result of the misrepresentation. Misrepresentation may result in debarment.

Contractor shall enter payments to SBE/SDV and MWBE subcontractors/subconsultants/suppliers as instructed by Metro. Failure to do so may impact payments to Contractor.
