Subcontractor_Utilization_Plan.docx

This is a Subcontractor Utilization Plan form for the City of St. Petersburg, Florida, related to a property appraisal services contract opportunity. The form requires proposers to demonstrate their intent to engage minority, women, veteran, and small business enterprises located in the Tampa Bay Region. Proposers must describe their efforts in outreach, education, mentorship, and process improvements designed to increase participation by small, veteran, minority, and women-owned business enterprises. The form provides designated categories for proposers to indicate anticipated percentages of contract amounts and identify specific subcontractors by business classification type.

The Subcontractor Utilization Plan establishes voluntary participation goals for Small Business Enterprises (SBE), Women Business Enterprises (WBE), Veteran Owned Businesses, and Minority Business Enterprises (MBE). Notably, no minimum participation level is required for any category, and proposers will not be deemed non-responsive if they submit a zero participation amount in any category. However, the City encourages proactive engagement with small, veteran, minority, and women-owned business enterprises and does not require minimum participation as a condition for contract award.
