Subcontractor_Utilization_Plan.docx

This is a Subcontractor Utilization Plan form issued by the City of St. Petersburg, Florida, for the Police Department Ballistic Door Installation project. The document requires proposers to demonstrate their intent to engage minority, women, veteran, and small businesses located in the Tampa Bay Region. Proposers must detail their efforts to engage these business categories and address any barriers to their participation through outreach, education, mentorship, and process improvements designed to increase small, veteran, minority, and women business enterprise involvement in the contract.

The subcontractor participation goals outlined in the plan are voluntary, and proposers will not be deemed non-responsive if they submit a plan with zero small, veteran, minority, or women business participation. No minimum level of participation from these business categories is required as a condition for contract award. However, the City encourages proposers to actively pursue participation from small, veteran, minority, and women business enterprises. Proposers must complete a form identifying the subcontractor category, anticipated percentage of contract amount, and the names of all anticipated subcontractors in the applicable categories of Small Business Enterprise (SBE), Women Business Enterprise (WBE), Veteran Owned Business, and Minority Business Enterprise (MBE).
