businesses must be considered along with other business enterprises whenever possible as
sources of supplies, construction, and other services. The required affirmative steps for Good
Faith Effort documentation are outlined below.
It is the policy of Contra Costa County to provide all MBEs, WBEs, OBEs, SBEs, and LBEs
an equal opportunity to participate in the performance of all County contracts. Bidders must
assist the County in implementing this policy by taking all reasonable steps to ensure that all
qualified business enterprises, including MBEs, WBEs, OBEs, SBEs, and LBEs have an
equal opportunity to compete for and participate in County contracts. A bidder's good faith
1 efforts to reach out to MBEs, WBEs, OBEs, SBEs, and LBEs (subcontractors, suppliers,
manufacturers, truckers, etc.) will be determined by the Board of Supervisors from written
documentation of the level of effort put into achieving the indicators. Failure to meet
anticipated MBE/WBE participation levels will not by itself be the basis for disqualification
or determination of noncompliance with this policy. However, failure to include
supporting documentation of a good faith effort and failure to achieve a minimum of 75
' out of 100 Good Faith Effort evaluation points may render the bid non-responsive and
may result in its rejection. Adequacy of bidder's good faith effort will be determined after
consideration of the indicators of good faith as set forth below.
