This Project is funded in part with Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds.

The successful bidder will be required to submit evidence that these goals have been met either through his/her own employment practices or through the use of MBE/WBE subcontractors and vendors. Failure to comply may result in the bidder being determined not responsible.

In preparation of your bid, you shall contact MBE/WBE firms made available by the NJSAVI N.J.

You may also contact other MBE/WBE firms of which you are aware.

As part of your bid, you are expected to complete and submit the MBE/WBE Contract Solicitation and Commitment Statement form. This form will be used during bid review to ascertain your level of MBE/WBE utilization. Your efforts and success in utilizing these firms will be one of the tests of bidder responsibility. Failure to meet this Project's MBE/WBE goal does not automatically disqualify your bid; however, the MBE/WBE Bidder Certification must be submitted with the bid. At the Atlantic County Improvement Authority’s discretion, elements of the MBE/WBE may be waived, provided the bidder can submit adequate evidence of an effort to enlist MBE/WBE subcontractors and suppliers for the Project.

If you are the successful bidder you will be expected to document, at the pre-construction conference, your efforts to solicit MBE/WBE business enterprises, and to confirm the percentage of participation you will achieve.

Finally, at the completion of the Project and before final payment, you will be required to furnish to the municipality a completed Minority/Women Business Enterprise Utilization Report for yourself and your subcontractors along with a Minority/Women Business Certification form, if applicable.
