I meet or exceed the assigned DBE COA Goal. That being the case, no additional GFE documentation is required. Or; 2. By documentation that the Bidder made adequate GFE to meet the DBE I COA Goal The Bidder may demonstrate a GFE in whole or part through GFE documentation ONLY IN THE EVENT a Bidder's efforts to solicit sufficient DBE participation have been unsuccessful. In this case, the Bidder must supply GFE documentation in addition to the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Utilization Certification, and supporting Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Written Confirmation Document(s). Note: In the case where the Bidder was awarded the contract based on 111 demonstrating adequate GFE the advertised DBE COA Goal will not be reduced to the Bidder's partial commitment. Further, the Bidder shall demonstrate a GFE during the life of the Contract to attain the DBE COA Goal as assigned to the project. GFE documentation shall be received, as specified in the special provisions for 1 Section 1-02.9 Delivery of Proposal. Based upon all the relevant documentation submitted in Bid or as a supplement to , Bid, the Contracting Agency shall determine whether the Bidder has demonstrated sufficient GFE to achieve DBE participation. The Contracting Agency will make a fair and reasonable judgment of whether a Bidder that did not meet the DBE COA Goal through participation, made adequate good faith efforts as demonstrated by the GFE documentation. Good Faith Effort (GFE) Documentation 111 GFE is evaluated when determining award of a prime contract that has an assigned DBE goal; when a COA DBE is terminated and substitution is required; and post award when determining whether the Contractor has satisfied its DBE commitments. The following is a list of types of actions, which would be considered as part of the I Bidder's GFE to achieve DBE participation. It is not intended to be a mandatory checklist, nor is it intended to be exclusive or exhaustive. Other factors or types of efforts may be relevant in appropriate cases. Responding to all GFE listed in 49 CFR Part 26, Appendix A does not, in itself, demonstrate adequate good faith efforts. 1. Soliciting through all reasonable and available means (e.g. attendance at pre-bid meetings, advertising and/or written notices) the interest of all certified DBEs who have the capability to perform the Work of the Contract. The Bidder must solicit this interest within sufficient time to allow the DBEs to respond to the solicitation. The Bidder must determine with certainty if the DBEs are interested by taking appropriate steps to follow up initial solicitations.
