About this file

This is a Subcontracting Plan form for the City of Austin, Texas, used in conjunction with an Invitations for Bid (IFB) for Citywide Service Awards. The solicitation was reviewed by the City of Austin's Small and Minority Business Resources Department (SMBR) to determine applicability of Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprises (M/WBE) subcontracting goals. Due to insufficient subcontracting opportunities and limited availability of certified M/WBE firms, no M/WBE subcontracting goals have been assigned for this solicitation. However, any offerors planning to use subcontractors must comply with the City's M/WBE Procurement Program requirements outlined in City Code Chapters 2-9A/B. Proposals were due June 30, 2026. Offerors must declare whether they intend to use subcontractors and, if so, must complete the corresponding subcontracting plan documentation prior to contract award.

Offerors planning to use subcontractors must choose between two compliance pathways: utilizing City of Austin certified M/WBE subcontractors, or using non-certified subcontractors after demonstrating Good Faith Efforts to solicit certified M/WBE firms. The Good Faith Efforts process requires offerors to contact SMBR for an availability list of certified M/WBE firms, contact all applicable firms using at least two communication methods with a minimum seven-day response period, follow up with responding firms, advertise the subcontracting opportunity in local publications, and solicit community organizations and minority business assistance offices. Any subcontractors not listed in the approved subcontracting plan cannot be hired or begin work without prior City authorization through a Request for Change form. The SMBR Reviewing Counselor and Director/Assistant Director must review and approve all subcontracting plans before contract execution.
