This is a Business Enterprise Good Faith Efforts Explanation Form (Form B) issued by the City of St. Petersburg, Florida for use by prime contractors on municipal contracts. The form requires prime contractors to demonstrate good faith efforts in achieving Business Enterprise participation goals when they have not used any Business Enterprise subcontractors or have failed to meet required participation percentages. Prime contractors must document their outreach activities, including conducting at least one monthly outreach event, soliciting and documenting Business Enterprise quotes and proposals, maintaining a list of contacted but unavailable Business Enterprise firms with supporting documentation, attending Office of Supplier Development networking events, and effectively utilizing available SBE recruitment resources. The form applies to the City's procurement for PURE Storage Evergreen Forever Support Subscriptions covering six 384TB Pure Storage Flash Arrays currently deployed across multiple city environments with varying support expiration dates.
Contractors submitting this form must provide detailed explanations and supporting documentation of all good faith efforts undertaken to secure Business Enterprise participation. Failure to meet Business Enterprise goals requires comprehensive justification demonstrating exhaustive recruitment attempts. The form includes an affirmation statement warning that material misrepresentation constitutes grounds for action under federal or state false statements laws. Contractors are directed to contact the Office of Supplier Development at 727-892-5351 or OSD@stpete.org for assistance with Business Enterprise recruitment and placement services.
