Goods and ServicesConstructionProfessional Services

GoalsMBE WBE25% 10%24% 10%35% Overall

The County shall set contract-specific goals, based on the availability of MBEs andWBEs that are certified to provide commodities or services specified in thissolicitation document.

To the extent that a Bid, Quotation, or Proposal includes a Petition for Reduction/Waiverthat is approved by the Office of Contract Compliance, the Contract specific MBE andWBE participation goals may be achieved by the proposed Bidder or Proposer's status asan MBE or WBE; by the Bidder or Proposer's enforceable joint-venture agreement withone or more MBEs and/or WBEs; by the Bidder or Proposer entering into one or moreenforceable subcontracting agreements with one or more MBE and WBE; by the Bidderor Proposer establishing and carrying out an enforceable mentor/protdg6 agreement withone or more MBE and WBE; by the Bidder or Proposer actively engaging the IndirectParticipation of one or more MBE and WBE in other aspects of its business; or by anycombination of the foregoing, so long as the Utilization Plan evidences a commitment tomeet the MBE and WBE Contract goals set forth in (B) above, as approved by the Officeof Contract Compliance.
