About this file

This is a Vendor Answer Form for the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office for General Services, designed to assess vendor commitment to diversity and equity initiatives in support of the Compliance & Auditing Services RFP issued by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT). The form requires vendors to demonstrate compliance with Business Enterprise Program (BEP) goals for contracting and subcontracting with women, minority-owned, and disability-owned businesses (WMDB), or to submit a completed Good Faith Effort Waiver if applicable. Vendors must provide documentation of prior calendar year subcontracting activities with WMDB vendors, including service or product descriptions, contract lengths, and associated costs. Additionally, vendors are required to disclose their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) spending as a percentage of gross revenue and document hours spent promoting DEI initiatives within the workplace, community, and educational institutions.

The form mandates submission of the vendor's current DEI policy documentation and requires detailed staffing diversity information across multiple organizational levels, including governing board, management, senior executives, supervisors, and general staff, with calculations showing the percentage of women, minority, and disability-represented individuals in each category. All supporting documentation—including vendor lists, contracts, receipts, DEI policies, and staffing rosters—must be uploaded with the bid as a single "Commitment to Diversity" attachment in either ZIP file or PDF portfolio format. An authorized company representative must sign and certify the accuracy of all submitted information, and the form includes a verification checklist to ensure all required supporting documents are attached and properly labeled.
