§ 102-447.11. Procedures to require that participating SBEs are identified by name, by bidders for contracts.

The county may indicate, in specific solicitations for contracts that are determined to provide opportunities for SBE participation, goals for the use of SBE firms. Solicitations may require all bidders to submit a written assurance of meeting the goals in their bids or proposals. Bids may also include a proposed schedule of SBE participation that lists the names of SBE subcontractors, a description of the work each is to perform and the dollar value of each proposed SBE subcontract. If the SBE participation does not meet the SBE contract goals, the bidders must submit sufficient information and evidence demonstrating that the bidder made good faith efforts to meet the goals on designated contracts.

Bidders may be required to submit this information at a time to be determined by DPCC. Agreements between a bidder and an SBE in which the SBE promises not to provide subcontracting quotations to other bidders shall be prohibited.
