§ 66-227. Subcontracting for construction projects.

(a)

The maximum small business goal for any construction project or construction management solicitation not subject to sheltering under this article will be 15 percent. The goal shall be applied as a percentage of the total contract value to be assigned to small businesses.

(b)

Any bid failing to meet the established small business goal shall be deemed non-responsive and shall be disqualified, except where the procurement official determines that such disqualification would not be in the best interests of the city under the particular circumstances.

(c)

At bid submittal, all bidders must submit, as part of their bid documentation, a subcontractor utilization plan which includes the following:

(1)

Form SB01-Statement of Small Business Participation which identifies all certified small businesses which will be utilized as subcontractors; and

(2)

Form SB03-Letter of Intent signed by the small business subcontractor(s). A small business prime contractor that intends to perform 100 percent of the work does not need to include this form.

The subcontractor utilization plan shall reflect the intent of the bidder and small business subcontractor(s) to establish a business relationship as well of the type of work and percentage of work that the small business subcontractor will perform.

(d)

Failure to submit a complete subcontractor utilization plan shall be grounds for disqualification from participation in that bid.
