Subcontractor_Utilization_Plan.docx

This is a Subcontractor Utilization Plan form (Form C) for the City of St. Petersburg, Florida's Youth & Young Adult Employment Program contract opportunity. The form requires proposers to demonstrate their intent and efforts to engage minority, women, veteran, and small business enterprises (MBE, WBE, VBE, and SBE) located in the Tampa Bay Region. Proposers must describe their specific outreach, education, mentorship, and process improvement strategies designed to reduce barriers to participation and increase involvement of small, veteran, minority, and women-owned business enterprises as subcontractors on the project.

The subcontractor utilization goals outlined in the plan are voluntary, and proposers will not be deemed non-responsive for submitting a plan with zero participation from these business categories. However, the City encourages proactive engagement with small, veteran, minority, and women-owned business enterprises. No minimum participation threshold from these business categories is mandated as a prerequisite for contract award. The form requires proposers to identify the anticipated percentage of contract amount allocated to each category (SBE, WBE, VBE, and MBE) and list all anticipated subcontractors in the applicable boxes provided.
