Subcontractor_Utilization_Plan.docx

This is a Subcontractor Utilization Plan form related to a City of St. Petersburg, Florida contract opportunity for the supply of five (5) Panametrics AT600 Ultrasonic FlowMeters for the Southwest Water Reclamation site. The form requires proposers to document their intent to engage small business enterprises (SBEs), women business enterprises (WBEs), veteran-owned businesses, and minority business enterprises (MBEs) in the Tampa Bay Region. Proposers must describe their efforts in outreach, education, mentorship, and process improvements designed to increase participation by these business categories. The plan requires proposers to specify the anticipated percentage of contract amount and identify specific subcontractors for each business enterprise category.

The Subcontractor Utilization Plan emphasizes that small/veteran/minority/women business participation goals are voluntary and non-binding. Proposers will not be deemed non-responsive for submitting a plan with zero participation from these business categories, nor is any minimum level of diverse business enterprise participation required as a condition for contract award. However, the City of St. Petersburg actively encourages proactive engagement with small/veteran/minority/women business enterprises. No specific pricing terms, funding amounts, or contract award dates are addressed in this planning document.
