SUBMITTAL – Subcontracting Plan, No Goals

SUBCONTRACTING FORM

In accordance with the City of Austin’s Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprises (M/WBE) Procurement Program (Program), Chapters 2-9A/B of the City Code and M/WBE Program Rules, this Solicitation was reviewed by the Small and Minority Business Resources Department (SMBR) to determine if M/WBE Subcontractor Goals could be applied. Due to insufficient subcontracting opportunities and/or insufficient availability of M/WBE certified firms, SMBR has assigned no M/WBE subcontracting goals for this Solicitation. However, Offerors who choose to use Subcontractors must comply with the procedures of City’s M/WBE Procurement Program as described below. Additionally, if the Contractor seeks to add Subcontractors after the Contract is awarded, the Program requirements shall apply to any Contract(s) resulting from this Solicitation.

Instructions:

Is the Offeror City of Austin M/WBE certified?

☐ NO

☐ YES Indicate one: ☐ MBE ☐ WBE ☐ MBE/WBE Joint Venture

☐ YES, I DO intend to use Subcontractors.

If I am awarded a Contract and I am not using Subcontractor(s) but later intend to add Subcontractor(s), before the Subcontractor(s) is hired or begins work, I will comply with the City’s M/WBE Procurement Program and submit the Request For Change form to add any Subcontractor(s) to the Project Manager or the Contract Manager for prior authorization by the City and perform Good Faith Efforts (GFE), if applicable. I understand that, if a Subcontractor is not listed in my Subcontracting Plan, it is a violation of the City’s M/WBE Procurement Program for me to hire the Subcontractor or allow the Subcontractor to begin work, unless I first obtain City approval of my Request for Change form. I understand that, if a Subcontractor is not listed in my Subcontracting Plan, it is a violation of the City’s M/WBE Procurement Program for me to hire the Subcontractor or allow the Subcontractor to begin work, unless I first obtain City approval of my Request for Change form.
