PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Introduction

Beaufort County recognizes that the South Carolina General Assembly, in South Carolina Code of

Laws Section 11-35-5210*, has declared that businesses owned and operated by minority persons have been historically restricted from full participation in our free enterprise system to a degree disproportionate to other businesses; and that it is in the state’s best interest to assist minority-owned businesses to develop fully as a part of the state’s policies and programs which are designed to promote balanced economic and community growth throughout the state. Therefore, Beaufort

County wishes to ensure that those businesses owned and operated by minorities are afforded the opportunity to fully participate in its overall procurement process for goods and services. Further, Beaufort County seeks to ensure that small businesses are likewise afforded the same participation opportunity as minority businesses. Consequently, attention of all bidders and proposers is called to contract conditions contained herein pertaining to Beaufort County’s “Small and Minority

Business Participation Program”, as prescribed in the Beaufort County Code of Ordinances

Section 2-537.2.

Definitions

Small Business means a for-profit concern, including its affiliates, that is independently owned and operated, not dominant in the field of operation in which it is bidding on government contracts, and qualified as a small business under the criteria and size standards in the Code of Federal

Regulations, Title 13, Part 121, as amended. Beaufort County refers to these businesses as Small

Business Enterprises or “SBE”.

Minority Business means a concern at least fifty-one percent (51%) owned by a person determined to be socially and economically disadvantaged. Socially disadvantaged means those persons who have been subject to racial or ethnic prejudice or cultural bias because of their identification as members of a certain group without regard to their individual qualities. Such groups include, but are not limited to, Black Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans (including American

Indians, Eskimos, Aleuts and Native Hawaiians), Asian Pacific Americans, women and other minorities to be designated by the Beaufort County Council. Economically disadvantaged means those socially disadvantaged persons whose ability to compete in the free enterprise system has been impaired due to diminished capital and credit opportunities as compared to others in the same business area that are not socially disadvantaged. Beaufort County refers to minority businesses as Minority Business Enterprises or “MBE”.

Small and Minority Business Enterprises will be abbreviated as “S/MBE”.

Provisions

The successful bidder or proposer, hereafter referred to as “Contractor”, is required to (1) make specific Pre-Award “Good Faith Efforts” to recruit S/MBE and (2) Post-Award “Compliance

IFB #060426 DOCUMENTS Page 19

Efforts” of its labors to utilize S/MBE, unless self-performing one hundred percent (100%) of the contract work. Falsification of any pre-award or post-award documents will be considered a serious breach of public trust and funds.

CONSOLIDATED PROCUREMENT CODE, SUBARTICLE 1 “ASSISTANCE TO

MINORITY BUSINESSES”

COMPLIANCE EFFORTS (POST-AWARD)

The successful Contractor is required to fulfill any Small and Minority Business Enterprise

(S/MBE) commitments made in conjunction with the “Pre-Award Good Faith Efforts”, unless good cause is demonstrated for any failure to fulfill such commitment.

If the Contractor intends to make any substitutions for any reasons, the Beaufort County

Compliance Office must be notified in writing within ten (10) business days for discussion and approval. No Contractor shall enter into an agreement with any S/MBE that would in any manner limit the S/MBE from selling or acting as a subcontractor to any other party.

Beaufort County shall have the right to inspect the Contractor’s records related to activity and expenditures to S/MBE utilized on its projects, to include related contracts/purchase orders and payment records, such as cancelled check copies. Further, designated Beaufort County personnel are permitted access to all work sites. Contractors and their staff should take measures to cooperate fully with all Beaufort County staff, including, but not limited to the Procurement Services

Director and Compliance Officer.

“Post-Award Compliance Efforts” require the Contractor to not only provide monthly reports regarding activity and expenditures to S/MBE, but also to maintain related records throughout the life of the project regarding its efforts to comply with the Small and Minority Business

Participation Program. The “Monthly Compliance Status Report” must be submitted to the

Compliance Office until the project ends, by the fifth (5th) day, reflecting the activity of the previous month.

After the County receives a monthly status report marked as “final”, the Contractor will be issued an affidavit to certify totals regarding S/MBE usage throughout the life of the project.

All questions regarding “Post-Award Compliance Efforts” should be directed to the Compliance

Office vie e-mail at dthomas@bcgov.net or (843) 255-2304.
