About this file

This is an Amendment 1 to Request for Proposal No. 240000001592 for Transportation for Foster Youth issued by the State of Michigan through Michigan.gov/MiProcurement, dated March 22, 2024. The amendment modifies the original RFP 240000001081 by revising Section 4.8 on the Disclosure of Subcontractors requirements contained in Schedule A - Statement of Work on page 34.

The amendment removes the original subcontractor disclosure requirements that mandated contractors utilizing subcontractors for more than 20% of deliverables must award at least 20% of subcontracted work to Michigan-based Geographically Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (GDBEs). The original language required contractors to submit detailed subcontractor plans identifying GDBE participants, work percentages, payment amounts, and qualifications, with provisions for exemption requests if GDBEs meeting contract requirements could not be located. The revised language completely omits these GDBE subcontracting requirements from the contract, eliminating the obligation for contractors to pursue or justify the use of Michigan-based GDBEs, which are defined as entities certified as HUBZone Small Business Concerns, located in Michigan Qualified Opportunity Zones, or with employees primarily residing in such zones.

D. A complete description of the Contract Activities that will be performed or provided by the subcontractor.

E. Geographically Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Sub-Contractors If contractors plan to utilize subcontractors to perform more than 20% of the deliverables under this contract, at least 20% of that subcontracted work must be awarded to Michigan-based Geographically Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (GDBE). Contractor will submit a plan detailing all subcontractors to be used, including the percentage of the work to be done by each. Contractor must inform the State to the name and address of the GDBE, the percentage of the work they will complete, the total amount estimated to be paid to the GDBE, and provide evidence for their qualifications as a GDBE. If contractor cannot find GDBE subcontractors to meet this requirement they must provide reasoning and justification to receive an exemption from this requirement from the State. (Existing business relationships will not be an approved reason for this.)

(ii) Has a principal place of business located within a Qualified Opportunity Zone within Michigan.
