XI. SOLICITATION PROCESS FOR FORMAL PROPOSALS:

A. To be considered a responsive respondent, contractors are required, when specified in

proposal documents, to subcontract with MBEs for the stated percentage of the total

dollar value of the contract price. (The percentage of MBE participation is based on the

anticipated value of the contract.) Should MBE participation be required, MBE form 1

shall be completed and submitted as part of the proposal or proposal and MBE forms 2

through 5 must be completed and submitted within ten (10) working days after

notification of being the lowest respondent.

B. Bonus Points: (for locally-funded projects)

Minority Business Enterprise (10%)

Prince George’s County Based Minority Business Enterprise (15%)

1. During the evaluation process the Buyer shall determine the eligibility of any

participating certified MBE to match the proposal, dollar for dollar, of the lowest

responsible respondent by application of bonus points.

2. In determining if a certified MBE is entitled to match the competitively proposal

price of the lowest responsible respondent, the Buyer shall adjust the proposal

price submitted by an MBE, 10% for MBEs, 15% for Prince George’s County-

based MBEs) (for the purpose of evaluation and offer to match only) by reducing

Q.:91768

the proposal price of such firm by the product of: (1) the proposal price of the

apparent lowest responsible respondent; and: (2) the bonus factor applicable to the

MBE (as stated above).

3. Once it has been determined through the application of the bonus points as

aforementioned that the proposal price submitted by an MBE, after adjustment,

was lower than or equal to the proposal price of the lowest responsible

respondent, such MBE shall be given the opportunity to accept the proposal at the

lowest proposal price.

4. If said lowest responsible respondent is a minority firm not located in Prince

George's County or Maryland, a Prince George's County-based or Maryland-

based firm will be awarded bonus points. Once the bonus points are applied,

the Prince George's County-based or Maryland-based minority firm will be

afforded the opportunity to match the proposal of the lowest responsible

respondent, if so justified.

5. The Buyer shall notify the MBEs, that by virtue of the application of the bonus

points, the minority business enterprise is entitled to match the proposal of the

lowest responsible respondent. Qualifying MBEs will be given a period of five

(5) business days from the issuance of such notifications by the Buyer the

opportunity to match the proposal originally submitted by the lowest responsible

respondent.

6. As a result of such notifications, if more than one MBE proposes to reduce its

previous proposal to that of matching the proposal of the original lowest

responsible respondent, the contract shall be awarded with preferences given in

the following order: first, Prince George's County-based MBE; and second,

Maryland-based MBE.

7. If two or more MBEs qualify for the same preference contract award and are

prepared to match the proposal of the original lowest responsible respondent, the

Buyer shall, by toss of a coin, select the party to whom the contract will be

awarded.

8. If the MBE entitled to match a proposal indicates to the MBE Coordinator that it

can only match the proposal of the otherwise lowest responsible respondent if

relieved from the necessity of furnishing a bond from a recognized surety

guaranteeing the total performance under any contract to be awarded, the Chief

Financial Officer may, upon a finding that the MBE has demonstrated adequate

performance on prior contracts with the state, county, any of its agencies,

municipal corporations, or any local boards of education, waive such requirement.

9. If the MBE determines that it cannot match the lowest responsible respondent

after being offered an opportunity to do so, the MBE will not be penalized.

contractor to maintain its status as a certified MBE or to maintain the required

subcontracting percentage with certified MBE firms, whichever may be

applicable, throughout the term of the contract or any extension thereof. In the

event that any of the representations or circumstances of the contractor change

with respect to the MBE status, the contractor shall notify the Board of Education

immediately. The contractor shall also report any change in minority business

usage if different than information submitted at the time contract is signed.

D. Pre-Proposal Conference:

to Schedule of Participation of MBEs (Attachment #5)

d. Outreach Efforts Compliance Statement (MBE Form #6)

Each document will show the agreed prices to be paid to each certified MBE for

the work and identify in detail the contract items to be performed by the certified

minority business and the proposed timetable for such performance. An

authorized representative from both the prime and subcontracting firms must sign

all documents.

The respondent will certify in writing that there is an existing subcontract for all

Q.:91768

work that has been sublet.

2. The Prince George's County Public Schools’ MBE Program Coordinator will

conduct a preliminary evaluation of the apparent low respondent’s submission to

determine whether the proposed MBE participation is in compliance with the

outlined requirements.

3. Based on the evaluation of contract documents submitted, the Prince George's

County Public Schools’ representative will determine if the low respondent is in

compliance with the MBE participation requirements and may recommend to

make the final award or require additional information.

F. Request For Waiver/Exception of Minority Business Enterprise Goal:

1. A waiver/exception of the MBE contract requirement may be granted by the

Board of Education only upon receipt of a written request with supporting

documentation which presents a reasonable demonstration by the respondent that

MBE participation was impossible to obtain or was not obtainable at a reasonable

price, and that the public interest is served by a waiver. Any request for a

waiver/exception should be submitted on a Request for Waiver/Exception Form

(MBE Form #3) and contain the following:

a. A detailed statement of the efforts made to contact and negotiates with

certified minority businesses including: names, addresses, date, and

telephone numbers of certified minority businesses contacted;

b. A description of the information provided to MBEs regarding plans,

specifications, and anticipated time schedule for portions of the work to be

performed;

c. A detailed statement of efforts made to select portions of work proposed to

be performed by certified minority businesses in order to increase the

likelihood of achieving the stated requirement;

d. A detailed statement of reasons for a contractor's conclusion that a

certified minority business is not qualified to perform the work needed;

and

e. A list of minority subcontractors found to be unavailable. (This list should

be accompanied by the Minority Subcontractor Unavailability Certificate

(MBE Form #2) signed by the MBE or a statement from the apparent low

respondent that the certified business did not provide the Minority

Subcontractor Unavailability Certificate.)

2. A waiver/exception to the MBE requirement will be granted upon determination

by the Prince George's County Public Schools’ representative that qualified

MBEs are not available to participate in a contract or at a reasonable price

consistent with the stated MBE contract requirement and the total contract award.

Upon consideration of all the waiver/exception documents submitted in

accordance with this provision, the Prince George's County Public Schools’ MBE

Coordinator may approve or deny any request for a waiver/exception.

Q.:91768

3. The low respondent’s failure to participate in any of these proceedings or failure

to furnish information after written request may result in rejection of the proposal

on the basis of non-responsiveness.

G. Contractor Responsibility and Compliance: The contractor shall perform the contract in

accordance with the representations made in the Minority Business Enterprise Utilization

Affidavit (MBE Form #1) submitted as part of the proposal and on the Schedule for

Participation of Certified Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) submitted after the

proposal (MBE Form #5). All compliance monitoring of certified MBE participation will

be in accordance with the following:

1. The contractor shall structure operations for the performance of the contract to

attempt to achieve the purpose of this procedure.

2. The contractor agrees to apply the firm's best efforts to carry out these

requirements consistent with the efficient performance of the project.

3. The contractor must assure that MBEs shall have the maximum practical

opportunity to compete for subcontract work under the contract, even after award

of contract.

4. The contractor shall cooperate in any reviews of the contractor's procedures and

practices with respect to MBEs that the Board of Education may, from time to

time, conduct.

5. The contractor shall maintain such records as may be necessary to confirm

compliance with its MBE utilization obligations. These records shall indicate the

identity of minority subcontractors employed on the contract, type of work

performed by each, dollar amount proposed, actual monies paid during the

reporting period to date, and any services and procurements achieved.

6. All records concerning MBE participation must be retained by the contractor for a

period of three (3) years after final completion of the contract and will be

available for inspection by the Board of Education.

7. It shall be the obligation of the contractor to maintain its status as a certified MBE

or to maintain the required subcontracting percentage with certified MBE firms,

whichever may be applicable, throughout the term of the contract or any

extension.

8. Any desired changes in the Schedule for Minority Business Enterprise

Participation must be approved in advance by the Board of Education and shall

indicate the contractor's efforts to substitute another MBE subcontractor to

perform the work. Additionally, if changes to the contract require additional work

resulting in a cost increase, the MBE participation should be adjusted to reflect

this change.

9. Failure to notify the Board of Education of any changes of representations or

circumstances of the contractor with respect to the MBE status of the contractor

or the percentage of MBE participation, may cause the contractor to be subject to

disqualification from the award of any PGCPS system contracts for a period of

Q.:91768

three (3) years. In addition, the contractor shall be subject to such other actions as

may be provided under applicable county ordinances and/or state law.

10. The agreed MBE goal identified in the IFP and RFP is a deliverable. Failure to

comply shall be subject to such other actions applicable to county ordinances and

/or State law.

H. Amendment For Unforeseen Circumstances: If, at any time before award, an apparent

low respondent believes or has reason to believe that a certified minority business listed

in the Prince George's County Public Schools' Schedule of Minority Business Enterprise

Participation has become unqualified or unavailable, the respondent will immediately

notify the Prince George's County Public Schools’ MBE Coordinator. Within ten (10)

working days, the apparent low respondent must make every reasonable effort to

achieve the stated requirement for the minority participation. Failure to make such

efforts may result in a determination that the apparent low respondent is not eligible for

award of the contract.

I. Emergency: If the Prince George’s County Public Schools’ Chief Financial Officer

determines that a project is an emergency (e.g., hazard to the health and welfare of

students), the Chief Financial Officer may waive requirements for MBE documentation.

J. Filing of Reports:

1. The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) shall report to the members of the Board of

Education of Prince George's County, at least semi-annually, regarding progress

being made in attainment of requirements established by the Resolution of the

Board of Education revised, concerning the awarding of contracts to MBEs.

2. The Minority Business Office is required to submit to the CEO on a semi-annual

basis a report of MBE participation. Each year two reports will be issued: an

interim report covering the period July 1 through December 31, and an annual

report detailing activity from July 1 through June 30. Each report will include:

a. Total dollar value of contracts and purchases, by category; and

b. Total dollar value of contracts and purchases, by category, awarded to

MBEs.

subcontractors within five (5) working days of receipt of payment from Prince George's

County Public Schools. If payments are not made, the Board reserves the right to

withhold the amount owed to subcontractor(s) from the prime contractor's next payment

requisition.

L. Monitoring:

1. The Board of Education will carry out reviews as deemed necessary to monitor

compliance with MBE participation requirements. Such reviews may include site

visitations to ensure compliance with MBE requirements.

Q.:91768

2. The Board of Education and contractors will maintain appropriate records and,

upon request, assist in on-site or post-audit reviews.

XII. BONDING:

A. The Director of Purchasing and Supply may, upon finding that an MBE has demonstrated

adequate performance on prior contracts with the state, county, or any of its agencies,

municipal corporations, or any local boards of education, waive bonding requirement on

certain projects.

B. At the discretion of the Buyer, unless otherwise required by state or federal law or

regulations as a condition to state, federal or county assistance, no proposal bond,

performance or payment bonds shall be required if the contract price is less than

$50,000.

C. Bonds on construction projects over $50,000 must be provided by prime. However,

at the discretion of the Prince George's County Public Schools’ representative,

bonds may be waived. Additional documents may be required.

XIII. NON-DISCRIMINATION:

A. No contract may be awarded to any contractor or subcontractor unless the contract,

subcontract or agreement contains the following non-discrimination clause:

"The contractor is to conduct business in a non-discriminatory manner prohibiting

discrimination in any manner against any employee or applicant for employment

because of sex, race, creed, color, age, mental or physical disability, sexual

orientation or national origin.”

B. If the non-discrimination clause is omitted from a contract or subcontract subject to this

Section, the Board of Education may declare the contract void. In that event, the

contractor is entitled to the reasonable value of work that has been performed and

materials that have been provided.

C. If the contractor willfully fails to comply with the requirements of the non-discrimination

clause and the contract is partially completed, the Board of Education may compel the

contractor to continue to perform under the contract; however, the Board:

1. Is liable for no more than the reasonable value of work performed and materials

provided after the date on which the breach of contract was or should have been

discovered; and

2. Shall deduct any money that has been paid under the contract from the money that

became due.

D. If a subcontractor willfully fails to comply with the requirements of a non-discrimination

clause, the contractor may void the subcontract. In that event, the contractor is liable for

no more than the reasonable value of work performed or materials provided.

The undersigned as contractor does hereby make the following Affidavit. I acknowledge the Minority Business Enterprise participation of thirty percent (30%) or as it applies and as stated in the proposal documents for the contract with the Prince George's County Board of Education and commit to make a good faith effort to achieve this requirement. In the solicitation of subcontract quotations or offers, all Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) subcontractors were provided not less than the same information and amount of time to respond to the solicitations as non-minority business enterprise subcontractors.

The solicitation process was conducted in such a manner so as to otherwise not place MBE subcontractors at a competitive disadvantage to non-MBE subcontractors. I understand and agree, that if awarded the contract, we will implement the provisions of the above paragraph with respect to subcontracts to be let after the award of the contract, but that such subcontracts will not be let until the Board of Education has reviewed and approved the Minority Business Enterprises submittals. I understand that the failure to submit the affidavit to the Board of Education shall result in a determination that this proposal is non-responsive. I understand and agree that, if awarded the contract, I will and do hereby authorize representatives of the Board of Education and the Interagency Committee for Public School Construction to examine, from time to time, the books, records and files of this organization to the extent that such data relates and pertains to the affirmative action pursuant to this contract. I do solemnly declare and affirm under the penalty of perjury that the contents of the foregoing document are true and correct to the best of my knowledge, information, and belief. _________________________ ___________________________ Company Name Signature Date _________________________ ___________________________ Address Print Name Sworn and subscribed before me this _____________ day of __________, 20___. ____________________________ Notary Public
