About this file
The document is an Equal Business Opportunity (EBO) evaluation form from the City of Tampa, specifically Form MBD-71, which outlines guidelines for awarding evaluation points to proposals and contract submissions, particularly for non-professional services. The form is associated with a Background Investigation Services contract opportunity where the City of Tampa seeks vendors to provide employment-related background checks for potential new hires in the Human Resources Department. The evaluation points system is designed to incentivize and recognize participation from Women/Minority-owned Business Enterprises (W/MBE) and Small Local Business Enterprises (SLBE), with a maximum of 20 points available for such participation.
The point allocation is structured to reward vendors based on their certification status and meaningful subcontractor involvement, with different point ranges for City of Tampa certified W/MBE firms (16-20 points), certified W/MBE/SLBE primes with meaningful subcontractor participation (5-15 points), and non-certified primes utilizing City-certified underutilized firms (1-15 points). Additional discretionary points (0-7) may be awarded for external agency certifications. To be eligible for points, firms must be certified prior to the proposal opening date, and the evaluation will consider factors such as diversity of subcontractors, percentage of scope committed to W/MBE and SLBE subcontracting, and the meaningfulness of subcontractor tasks relative to the core scope of work.

(Refer to MBD Form 70 and Form 50-GFE Outreach)

| 16-20 |
| B. |
| City of Tampa Certified W/MBE and/or SLBE Prime Contractor with meaningful sub-(contractor, consultant) participation by City Certified Underutilized W/MBE and/or SLBE firms |

0 – 7
NOTE: The maximum points available for W/MBE and/or SLBE participation will not exceed twenty (20).
In addition, evaluation points wil awarded for To-Be-Determined (TBD) participation.
Points are determined as follows (Requires Form 50-GFE):
A. A maximum of twenty (20) rating points may be awarded when the Proposer is a City of Tampa Certified W/MBE firm deemed underutilized within the Industry category established by the RFQ.
B. A maximum of fifteen (15) rating points may be awarded when the Proposer is a City of Tampa certified W/MBE and/or SLBE with meaningful participation by City-certified W/MBE and/or SLBE sub-contractors/consultants.
C. One to Fifteen (1-15) rating points may be awarded when the Proposer is not a City of Tampa certified W/MBE & SLBE prime contractor but utilizes either Underutilized W/MBE and/or SLBE certified firm(s) as sub-contractors/consultants and assigned to perform meaningful segments of the contractual services detailed herein and documented on the enclosed MBD Form 10-20.
D. A maximum of seven (7) “discretionary” rating points may be awarded when the Proposer provides W/MBE & SLBE participation from an external agency recognized by the City. Discretionary points may be awarded for ancillary participation (see definition). In addition, evaluation points will be awarded for To-Be-Determined (TBD) participation. The point values for ancillary participation may be subordinate to weighted values outlined in categories A, B, and C above.
NOTE: *W/MBE participation is narrowly tailored (per policy) to target the underutilization of affected groups in specific trade/industry categories. Any W/MBE & SLBE achievement that was not designated on MBD Form 70 is considered ancillary. Ancillary participation may be counted with overall participation and credited to your rating points when underutilization criteria are met.
The maximum number of points available for W/MBE and/or SLBE participation will not exceed a total of twenty (20) points.
Equal Business Opportunity Evaluation Weighted Points: CCNA Proposal Guidelines Under CCNA solicitations, proposers must submit to preconstruction Good Faith Efforts (GFE) requirements covering the inclusion of City of Tampa certified W/MBE & SLBE firms. Such inclusion shall be clearly addressed and documented utilizing Forms MBD 10, 20 & 50. Proof of certification shall include copies of current certification certificates. This applies to ALL Phase 1 preconstruction design services.
Points awarded during the shortlist selection process will be more heavily weighted predominantly on the design side (this does not preclude identification of phase 2 projections of construction participation that follow in the future, i.e., GMPs). In order to ensure the maximum points, a proposer must clearly identify and quantify its planned participation without ambiguity. Simply marking “To Be Determined” (TBD) will not satisfy this requirement and may receive significantly lower ratings. Finally, additional favorable consideration will be granted to the firm(s) that beyond all others, provide(s) the highest relevant and most binding participation.
The evaluation includes but is not limited to the following criteria:
· Diversity of W/MBE & SLBE subcontractors listed to be utilized (MBD Form 20)
· Percentage of proposal/scope committed to W/MBE & SLBE subcontracting
· The collective factors in determining the total points awarded will be based on the overall weight of evidence in the proposal that specified the participation.
· Subcontractors utilized for meaningful task. Meaningful task is viewed as being related to core scope of work.
In all cases, the Proposer and/or subcontractor(s) must be W/MBE and/or SLBE certified prior to the opening date and time of the RFP to be eligible to earn W/MBE & SLBE rating points. The evaluation process of W/MBE and SLBE participation will be evaluated by the City of Tampa’s Office of Equal Business Opportunity. The Successful Proposer will be required to execute MBD Form 40 (Letter of Intent-LOI) with their subcontractors/sub-consultants prior to award.
