(Submit with Bid/Proposal) This document MUST BE included with the Bid/Proposal. If the Bidder/Offeror fails to complete and submit this form with the Bid/Proposal, the procurement officer may determine that the Bid/Proposal is not responsive/not reasonably susceptible of being selected for award.

In conjunction with the Bid/Proposal submitted in response to Solicitation No.___________________, I affirm the following:

1. VSBE Participation (PLEASE CHECK ONLY ONE)

I acknowledge and intend to meet IN FULL the overall verified VSBE participation goal of %. Therefore, I will not be seeking a waiver.

OR

After making good faith outreach efforts prior to making this submission, I conclude that I am unable to achieve the VSBE participation goal. I hereby request a waiver, in whole or in part, of the overall goal. Within 10 Business Days of receiving notice that our firm is the apparent awardee, I will submit all required waiver documentation in accordance with COMAR 21.11.14.09. If this request is for a partial waiver, I acknowledge that I must complete Attachment E-1A (VSBE Subcontractor Participation Schedule) and Attachment E-1B (Signature Page) for the portion of the VSBE goal that I intend to meet. I acknowledge that by checking this box and requesting a full waiver of the stated goal, I must complete Attachment E-1B (Signature Page) in order to be considered for award.

Additional VSBE Documentation
