FORM E - SOLICITATION FOLLOW-UP LOG.pdf

This is a Solicitation Follow-Up Log form (Form E) designed to document outreach efforts to Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) firms in connection with a state or local contract opportunity. The form serves as a tracking mechanism for communications with DBE firms throughout the solicitation process, requiring documentation of all oral communications through written follow-up such as email, fax, or letter correspondence. The template includes structured fields for recording the date and time of contact, the method of follow-up communication, the name of the DBE firm and contact person, contact information, the firm's response status, whether the firm is bidding or proposing, and the bid or proposal submittal date. Multiple entries can be logged on the form, with checkbox fields indicating affirmative responses to engagement attempts.

The form does not contain specific pricing terms, funding amounts, or project details, as it is intended solely as an administrative tracking document for DBE outreach compliance. The multiple identical entry rows with checkboxes marked "Yes" suggest this form is designed to accommodate numerous DBE firm contacts and demonstrate good faith efforts to include disadvantaged businesses in the solicitation process. No incumbent information, specific set-aside percentages, or contract award details are present in this particular document, which functions as a compliance and documentation tool rather than a substantive contract specifications document.
