About this file
This is a compliance certification form from the City of New Smyrna Beach, Florida, related to a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) project for the elevation of six flood-prone single-family homes. The project addresses homes located within Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHA) classified as Zone "AE" per FEMA's Flood Insurance Rate Maps, with finished floor elevations currently below the Base Flood Elevation (BFE). The homes will be elevated to 10 feet from existing ground level to protect them from the 100-year storm event and eliminate recurring flood-related damages. The project is funded through FEMA's HMGP program under Contract No. 4337-373-R-b, which was established following a Presidential major disaster declaration to implement long-term hazard mitigation measures.
The compliance form requires the bidder to certify affirmative steps taken to ensure maximum participation of minority business enterprises (MBEs), women's business enterprises (WBEs), veteran-owned businesses (VOBs), and labor surplus area firms (LSAFs) in accordance with 2 C.F.R. 200.321. Required actions include placing qualified MBEs/WBEs/VOBs/LSAFs on solicitation lists, soliciting them when they are potential sources, dividing requirements into smaller tasks when economically feasible, establishing delivery schedules encouraging participation, and utilizing services of organizations such as the Small Business Administration. The certification requires the proposer's signature and does not mandate set-asides but rather requires documentation of good faith efforts to encourage participation by disadvantaged business enterprises.

City of New Smyrna Beach
COMPLIANCE WITH 2 C.F.R. §200.321:
"Contracting with small and minority business enterprises (MBEs), women's business enterprises (WBEs), veteran-owned businesses (VOBs), and labor surplus area firms (LSAFs)"
The undersigned bidder hereby certifies that __________________________________ has taken (Name of Business) the next affirmative steps, if subcontractors are to be used, to ensure that MBEs/WBEs/VOBs/LSAFs are used, whenever possible:
i. Placing qualified MBEs/WBEs/VOBs/LSAFs enterprises on solicitation lists;
ii. Assuring that MBEs/WBEs/VOBs/LSAFs are solicited whenever they are potential sources;
iii. Dividing total requirements, when economically feasible, into smaller tasks or quantities to permit maximum participation by MBEs/WBEs/VOBs/LSAFs (however, this requirement does not authorize the City to break a single project down into smaller components in order to circumvent the micro-purchase or small purchase thresholds so as to utilize streamlined acquisition procedures (e.g. "project splitting");
iv. Establishing delivery schedules, where the requirement permits, which encourage participation by MBEs/WBEs/VOBs/LSAFs; and
v. Using the services and assistance, as appropriate, of such organizations as the Small
Business Administration and the Minority Business Development Agency of the Department of Commerce.
The requirement outlined above does not impose an obligation to set aside either the award of a subcontract to MBEs/WBEs/VOBs/LSAFs. Rather, the requirement only encourages carrying out and documenting the affirmative steps identified above.
As the person authorized to sign this statement, I certify that this firm has complied fully with the above requirements.
