This Addendum 2 document modifies the Formal Invitation for Bid issued by the City of San Antonio's Finance Department, Procurement Division for the Maverick Park 2022 Bond Project (Contract 23-03995). The primary modification updates the Small Business Enterprise (SBE) contracting goal from a previously higher percentage to twenty percent (20%) of the prime contract value, effective per the City Manager's September 10, 2025 directive regarding SBEDA ordinance application. The addendum also reschedules key project dates: the pre-bid meeting is now October 2, 2025 at 10:00 AM CT via WebEx, the deadline for questions has been extended to October 9, 2025 at 4:00 PM CT, and the bid submittal deadline has been extended to October 24, 2025 at 2:00 PM CT.

The addendum also updates the applicable wage decision from Heavy and Highway General Decision Number TX20250007 (01/03/2025) to Highway General Decision Number TX20250291 (09/19/2025), which establishes prevailing wage rates for various highway construction classifications in twenty Texas counties including Bexar County where San Antonio is located. Under the SBE Contracting Program requirement, contractors must subcontract or self-perform at least twenty percent (20%) of the prime contract value with SBEDA-eligible SBE-certified firms, or if the prime contractor itself is a certified SBE firm, may self-perform up to the entire goal amount with its own forces. Contractors failing to submit either a completed Subcontractor/Supplier Utilization Plan or a Contracting Goal Waiver Request at the time of bid submission will have their proposals deemed non-responsive. The document includes comprehensive definitions of SBEDA program terms, compliance provisions, record retention requirements, commercial nondiscrimination policy requirements, and prompt payment obligations within ten days of receipt of payment from the City.

SMALL BUSINESS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

ADVOCACY (SBEDA) PROGRAM

Maverick Park Improvements

Exhibit 1

A. SBEDA Program

The City of San Antonio (the “City”) has adopted a Small Business Economic Development

Advocacy Ordinance (Ordinance No. 2024-12-05-0997 and as amended, also referred to as

“SBEDA” or “the SBEDA Program”), which is posted on the City’s Economic Development

Department (“EDD”) website page and is also available in hard copy format upon request to the

City. The SBEDA Ordinance Compliance Provisions contained in this section of the Agreement are governed by the terms of the SBEDA Ordinance, as well as by the terms of the SBEDA

Ordinance Policy & Procedure Manual established by the City pursuant to this Ordinance, and any subsequent amendments to this referenced SBEDA Ordinance and SBEDA Policy & Procedure

Manual that are effective as of the date of the execution of this Agreement. Unless defined in a contrary manner herein, terms used in this section of the Agreement shall be subject to the same expanded definitions and meanings as given those terms in the SBEDA Ordinance and as further interpreted in the SBEDA Policy & Procedure Manual.

B. Affirmative Procurement Initiatives

The City has applied the following contract specific SBEDA Tools, referred to as Affirmative

Procurement Initiatives (APIs), to this contract. By submitting its bid, CONTRACTOR certifies that understands and agrees that failure to submit EITHER a Utilization Plan/Commitment

Form (as applicable) showing a commitment to the contracting APIs (when applicable) or a

Waiver Request for such contracting APIs may deem Contractor’s response

UNRESPONSIVE. Contractor further understands the selected API requirement shall also be extended to any change order or subsequent contract modification and, absent EDD’s granting of a waiver, the contractor shall hereby acknowledge that its full compliance with the following API terms and conditions are necessary to attain satisfactory performance under this Agreement:

SBE Contracting Program: In accordance with SBEDA Ordinance Section III D. (2), this contract is being awarded pursuant to the SBE Contracting Program. CONTRACTOR agrees to subcontract or self-perform at least twenty percent (20%) of its prime contract value to SBEDA eligible, SBE certified firm.

If the Prime CONTRACTOR is a SBEDA eligible, SBE certified firm, then the CONTRACTOR is allowed to self-perform up to the entire contracting goal amount with its own forces. To the extent that the certified Prime CONTRACTOR does not self-perform a portion of the contracting goal, it shall be responsible for complying with all other requirements of this API for that portion of work that is contracted.

The Subcontractor/Supplier Utilization Plan (the “UP form”) required to be submitted by

CONTRACTOR with its response for this contract is attached hereto and incorporated by reference into the material terms of this Agreement. The CONTRACTOR must indicate on the UP form the name(s) of the certified ESBE and SBE Subcontractors it intends to use on this contract, the respective percentages of the total prime contract dollar value to be performed by each, and supporting documentation including a description of each of the listed Subcontractor’s scope of work and confirmation of each’s commitment to perform such scope of work for an agreed upon dollar amount. Failure to include a completed, signed copy of the UP Form acknowledging and attaining the contracting goal(s) as required in the solicitation will render a response

NON-RESPONSIVE, unless Respondent has submitted a Contracting Goal Waiver as provided herein.

C. Solicitation Response and Contract Requirements and Commitment

Respondent understands and agrees that a Utilization Plan and Commitment Form are requirements of this solicitation and the resulting contract, if awarded, and that by submitting its

Response, Respondent commits to comply with these requirements, unless Respondent has submitted at the time of solicitation one of the following:

A Respondent may request a full or partial waiver of subcontracting goal(s) by submitting a

Contracting Goal Waiver Request form (available at http://www.sanantonio.gov/EDD/Forms.aspx) with its solicitation response. NOTE: Failure by a Respondent to submit EITHER a Utilization Plan or a Contracting Goal Waiver Request with its proposal at the time of bid will cause the proposal to be deemed Nonresponsive.

The Respondent’s Waiver request must fully document Subcontractor unavailability despite the

Respondent's good faith efforts to comply with the goal. Such documentation shall include all good faith efforts made by the Respondent including, but not limited to, which Subcontractors were contacted (with phone numbers, e-mail addresses and mailing addresses, as applicable) and the method of contact. Late waiver requests will not be considered. More information on the good faith effort criteria is available within the contracting Goal Waiver Request Evaluation

Criteria at http://www.sanantonio.gov/EDD/Forms.aspx.

Exception Request - A Respondent may request, for good cause, an exception to City’s application of the SBEDA Program to the solicitation if the Respondent submits the Exception to

SBEDA Program Requirements Request form (available at http://www.sanantonio.gov/EDD/Forms.aspx) with its solicitation response. The Respondent’s exception request must fully document which of the following exceptions exists: (1) the value of the contract is below the $50,000 threshold for application of the SBEDA Program; or (2) no commercially useful subcontracting opportunities exist within the contract scope of work; or (3) the type of contract is outside of the scope of the SBEDA Ordinance. Late Exception Requests will not be considered. Note: This form may not be used for requesting a waiver of a solicitation’s subcontracting goals. A Contracting Goal Waiver Request form must be used for that purpose.

D. SBEDA Program Compliance – General Provisions

H. Definitions

Affirmative Procurement Initiatives (API) – refers to various race- and gender-neutral and race-and gender-conscious program tools that are used to encourage greater prime and subcontractor participation by Small Business Enterprises (SBEs), Emerging Small Business Enterprises (ESBEs), M/WBEs, and Emerging Minority and Woman-Owned Business Enterprises (E/M/WBEs) including evaluation preferences and contracting goals.

Annual Aspirational Goal – annual aspirational percentage goals for overall M/WBE Prime and

Subcontractor participation in City contracts for Construction, Architectural & Engineering, Professional Services, Other Services, and Goods & Supplies Industry Categories. This Annual

Aspirational Goal is to be set annually by the EDD based upon the M/WBE availability by Industry

Category in accordance with the City's 2023 Disparity Study findings, along with relative M/WBE availability data to be collected by the City through its Central Vendor Registry (CVR) system.

Annual Aspirational Goals are intended to serve as a benchmark against which to measure the overall effectiveness of the E/S/MWBE Program on an annual basis.

Aspirational Contracting Program - an API in which Respondents/Prime Contractors strive to contract a specified aspirational percentage of the value of total contract dollars to eligible SBEs, ESBEs, M/WBEs, and/or E/M/WBEs (E/S/MWBEs). Such Aspirational Contracting Program goals may be set and applied by the EDD on a contract-by-contract basis to those types of contracts that provide actual or perceived scope of work opportunities for performing Commercially Useful

Functions by E/S/MWBEs. Further, a race- and gender-conscious application of the Aspirational

Contracting Program shall consider whether the following is true before application:

(1) There have been ongoing disparities in the utilization of available M/WBEs; and

(2) Race- and gender-neutral efforts have failed to eliminate persistent and significant disparities in the utilization of M/WBEs in a particular Industry Category or industry segment.

When specified by the EDD, the Aspirational Contracting Program API may require a

Respondent/Prime Contractor to demonstrate a Good Faith Effort (or commits to taking in the case of solicitations that do not include a detailed scope of work or those in which price cannot be considered a factor in evaluation) toward attainment of the non-mandatory Aspirational Contracting Program goals for E/S/MWBE s. Note that if the Respondent/Prime Contractor is an eligible E/S/MWBE s, then the

Respondent/Prime Contractor may self-perform up to the entire E/S/MWBE contracting goal amount with its own forces so long as it possesses the E/S/MWBE certification(s) as the Aspirational

Contracting Program goal set on the contract. To the extent that the eligible E/S/MWBE

Respondent/Prime Contractor does not self-perform a portion of the E/S/MWBE contracting goal, it shall be responsible for complying with all other requirements of this API, as necessary. Joint venture

Respondents/Prime Contractors are permitted to count payments to E/S/MWBE joint venture partner(s) toward self-performance of the Aspirational Contracting Program goal provided such partner(s) has the certification(s) set on the contract.

Award – the final selection of a Respondent for a specified Prime Contract or Subcontractor dollar amount. Contract awards are made by the City to Prime Contractors and by Prime Contractors to

Subcontractors, usually pursuant to a solicitation process. (Contract awards are to be distinguished from contract payments in that they only reflect the anticipated dollar amounts instead of actual dollar amounts that are paid to a contractor under an awarded contract).

Best Value Contracting – a purchasing solicitation process through which the Originating

Department may evaluate factors other than price. Evaluation criteria for selection may include a

Respondent’s previous experience and quality of product or services procured, and other factors identified in the applicable statute.

Central Vendor Registration System (CVR) – a electronic system through which the City recommends all prospective Prime Contractors and Subcontractors register if they are ready, willing and able to sell goods or services to the City. All businesses awarded a City contract shall be required to register in the CVR. The CVR system assigns a unique identifier to each registrant that is then required for the purpose of submitting solicitation responses and invoices, and for receiving payments from the City. The CVR assigned identifiers are also used by the EDD for measuring relative availability of SBE, ESBE, M/WBE, and E/M/WBEs by Industry or commodity codes, and for establishing Annual Aspirational Goals and contract-by-contract Contracting Goals. The CVR is also known as the San Antonio electronic Procurement System (SAePS).

Certification – the process by which the SBD staff determines a firm to be a bona-fide small, minority, woman-owned, or emerging small business enterprise (E/S/MWB ). ESBEs are automatically eligible for Certification as SBEs. Any firm may apply for multiple Certifications that cover each status category (e.g., SBE, ESBE, Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), or Woman Business Enterprise

(WBE)) for which it is able to satisfy eligibility standards. The SBD staff may contract these services to a Certification agency or other entity. For purposes of Certification, the City may in its discretion accept any firm that is certified by local government entities and other organizations identified herein that have adopted Certification standards and procedures similar to those followed by the EDD, provided the prospective firm satisfies the eligibility requirements set forth in this Ordinance in Section

111.E.3.

Certification Application - this form shall be completed by vendors when applying for Certification and/or re-Certification status for participation in the City of San Antonio's E/S/MWBE Program.

City – refers to the City of San Antonio, Texas.

Commercially Useful Function – an SBE, ESBE, M/WBE, and/or E/M/WBE (E/S/MWBE) performs a Commercially Useful Function when it is responsible for execution of the work of the contract and is carrying out its responsibilities by actually performing, staffing, managing and supervising the work involved. To perform a Commercially Useful Function, the E/S/MWBE must also be responsible, with respect to materials and supplies used on the contract, for negotiating price, determining quantity and quality, ordering the material, and installing (where applicable) and paying for the material itself. To determine whether an E/S/MWBE is performing a Commercially Useful

Function, an evaluation must be performed of the amount of work subcontracted, normal industry practices, whether the amount the E/S/MWBE is to be paid under the contract is commensurate with the work it is actually performing and the E/S/MWBE credit claimed for its performance of the work, and other relevant factors. Specifically, an E/S/MWBE does not perform a Commercially Useful

Function if its role is limited to that of an extra participant in a transaction, contract or project through which funds are passed in order to obtain the appearance of meaningful and useful E/S/MWBE participation, when in similar transactions in which E/S/MWBEs do not participate, there is no such role performed.

Contracting Program - an API in which Respondents/Prime Contractors are required to make Good

Faith Efforts to contract a specified percentage of the value of total contract dollars to eligible SBE, ESBE, M/WBE, and/or E/M/WBEs (E/S/MWBE s). Such Contracting Program goals may be set and applied by the EDD on a contract-by-contract basis to those types of contracts that provide scope of work opportunities for performing Commercially Useful Functions for E/S/MWBE s. Further, a race-and gender-conscious application of the Contracting Program shall consider whether the following is true before application:

(1) There have been ongoing disparities in the utilization of available M/WBEs; and

(2) Race- and gender-neutral efforts have failed to eliminate persistent and significant disparities in the utilization of M/WBEs in a particular Industry Category or industry segment.

When specified by the EDD, the Contracting Program API may require a Respondent/Prime Contractor to demonstrate a Good Faith Effort ( or commits to taking in the case of solicitations that do not include a detailed scope of work or those in which price cannot be considered a factor in evaluation), toward attainment of Contracting Program goals for E/S/MWBE s. Note that if the Respondent/Prime

Contractor is an eligible E/S/MWBE , then the Respondent/Prime Contractor may self-perform up to the entire E/S/MWBE Contracting Program goal amount with its own forces so long as it possesses the E/S/MWBE certifications as the Contracting Program goal set on the contract. To the extent that the eligible E/S/MWBE Respondent/Prime Contractor does not self-perform a portion of the

E/S/MWBE Contracting Program goal, it shall be responsible for complying with all other requirements of this APL Joint venture Respondents/Prime Contractors are permitted to count payments to E/S/MWBE joint venture partner(s) toward self-performance of the Contracting Program goal provided such partner(s) has the certification(s) set on the contract.

Control – the authority of a person or business owner to sign responses to solicitations and contracts, make price negotiation decisions, sell or liquidate the business and have the primary authority to direct the day-to-day management and operation of a business enterprise without interference from others.

Economic Inclusion – efforts to promote and maximize commercial transactions within, between and among all segments of the business population, regardless of race or gender, within the

Relevant Marketplace.

Emerging SBE (ESBE) – a certified SBE whose annual revenues and number of employees are no greater than 25% of the small business size standards for its industry as established by the U.S. Small

Business Administration and meets the Headquarter requirements as defined herein.

Emerging M/WBE (E/M/WBE) – a certified M/WBE firm whose annual revenues and number of employees are no greater than 25% of the small business size standards for its industry as established by the U.S. Small Business Administration and meets the Headquarter requirements as defined herein.

Evaluation Preference – an API that may be applied by the EDD to Construction, Architectural &

Engineering, Professional Services, Other Services, and Goods and Supplies contracts that are to be awarded on a basis that includes factors other than lowest price, and wherein responses that are submitted to the City by SBEs and/or ESBEs may be awarded additional Points in the evaluation process in the scoring and ranking of their proposals against those submitted by other prime

Respondents.

Formal Solicitation – an invitation for bids, request for proposals, request for qualifications or other solicitation document issued by a City department for a contract that requires City Council approval, in accordance with the procurement rules adopted by the City Manager or designee through a memorandum issued by the City Manager or designee, an Administrative Directive or a procurement manual issued under the authority of the City Manager or designee, and/or pursuant to statutory requirements.

Good Faith Efforts – documentation of the Respondent's intent to comply with SBE, ESBE, M/WBE, and/or E/M/WBE (E/S/MWBE ) Contracting Program goals and procedures including, but not limited to, the following: (1) documentation as stated in the solicitation reflecting the Respondent's commitment to comply with E/S/MWBE Program goals as established by the EDD for a particular contract; or (2) documentation of efforts made toward achieving the E/S/MWBE contract goals ( e.g., solicitations of bids/proposals/qualification statements from all certified E/S/MWBEs listed in the

EDD's directory of eligible E/S/MWBE s; correspondence from certified E/S/MWBEs documenting their unavailability to perform on the contract; documentation of efforts to subdivide work into smaller quantities for subcontracting purposes to enhance opportunities for E/S/MWBE s; documentation of a

Prime Contractor's posting of a bond covering the work of certified E/S/MWBE Subcontractors;

documentation of efforts to assist E/S/MWBEs with obtaining financing, bonding or insurance required by the Respondent; and documentation of consultations with trade associations and consultants that represent the interests of E/S/MWBEs in order to identify certified and available E/S/MWBE

Subcontractors.)

Graduation - a SBE, ESBE, M/WBE, and E/M/WBE (E/S/MWBE) is longer eligible for the City's
