SUBP[footnoteRef:1] COMMITMENT FORM [1: For more information about the Small and Underutilized Business Program (SUBP) goals, see the SUBP Special Provisions published with this RFP, and review Minneapolis Ordinances Chapter 423.]

INSTRUCTIONS:

· List all known consultants (including your company), sub-consultants, sub-contractors, suppliers, and service providers that will be used on the project.

· Make additional copies of this form as necessary.

· This completed form should show how the proposer intends to include minority-owned and women-owned business enterprises (MBEs and WBEs) to meet the SUBP goal(s). By completing this form you are committing to using the MBE and WBE firms listed for at least the dollar amounts that you listed in this form.

· A consultant shall not substitute, reduce participation of, or eliminate MBE/WBE sub-consultants listed in this form without prior written approval of the Minneapolis Department of Civil Rights. A consultant who substitutes or removes an MBE/WBE sub-consultant listed in this form without prior written approval shall be subject to a fine of up to $10,000 per violation, or other penalties listed in ordinance §423.120.

· Only MBEs and WBEs that are SUBP certified in the Central Certification Program (CERT)[footnoteRef:2] count toward the SUBP goal(s). Place a mark “x” in the appropriate column below if a firm is SUBP eligible as a CERT-certified MBE or WBE. [2: A firm’s CERT certification, and certification type, should be verified by checking the CERT directory at CERT Directory Access. A firm’s current profile in that directory is evidence of current CERT certification.]

· To count toward the SUBP goal(s), the MBE/WBE must be CERT certified in the scope of work it will perform, and the MBE/WBE must have its principal place of business located within the Minnesota counties of Anoka, Carver, Chisago, Dakota, Hennepin, Isanti, Le Sueur, Mille Lacs, Ramsey, Scott, Sherburne, Sibley, Washington, and Wright, and the Wisconsin counties of Pierce and St. Croix.

· If an MBE/WBE subcontracts work to a non-MBE/WBE, the value of that portion of the work will not count toward the SUBP goal(s).

· An MBE/WBE must perform a commercially useful function to count toward the SUBP goal(s). An MBE/WBE performs a commercially useful function when it executes a distinct element of work and carries out its responsibilities by performing, managing, and supervising the work with its own employees and resources.

· This form is due with your proposal. Failing to properly complete and submit this form, or indicating “not applicable,” may result in a non-responsive proposal.
