Contractor agrees to indemnify MCC for any costs and/or expenses, in whole or in part, that are due any subcontractors or suppliers for services provided under the Agreement.

18. Minority and Women Business Enterprise Participation. It is the practice of Metropolitan Community College (MCC) to ensure full and equitable economic opportunities to persons and businesses that compete for business with the College, including Minority and Women Business Enterprises (M/WBEs). MCC encourages M/WBE participation in contracts for goods and services by firms that are certified. MCC accepts certifications provided by those entities identified on the page in this document titled “Certifying M/WBE Agencies”. This may either be by the primary supplier/contractor being a certified M/WBE or by the utilization of qualified subcontractors, suppliers, joint ventures or other arrangements that afford meaningful opportunities for M/WBE participation. Work performed by M/WBEs must provide a commercially useful function related to the delivery of the service/product required herein. Second tier participation where suppliers generally provide supplies to a corporation but that are not directly related to this contract does not qualify as meaningful participation. MCC will consider certifications from agencies not located in Missouri for M/WBEs not located in Missouri with the approval of the Purchasing Manager. M/WBE means a business that is a sole proprietorship, partnership, joint venture or corporation in which at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the ownership interest is held by minorities or women and the management and daily business operations of which are controlled by one or more minorities or women who own it. Minority is defined as belonging to one of the following racial minority groups: African Americans, Native Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, American Indians, Eskimos, Aleuts and other groups that may be recognized by the Office of Advocacy, United States Small Business Administration. Bidders must indicate their MBE and WBE participation levels committed to this project on the “M/WBE Participation Form” included in this document. The names and percent participation of each MBE and WBE should also be provided on this form. The contractor/supplier shall provide annual reports (or more frequently if requested) of the financial participation of M/WBEs. The report shall include the name(s) and address(es) of the certified M/WBEs,


products or services provided and the total dollar amount or percentage of utilization. The annual report shall also include, separately, all second tier participation the contractor/supplier may have. MCC will monitor the contractor/supplier’s compliance in meeting the M/WBE participation levels committed to in the awarded bid. If the contractor/supplier's payments to participating M/WBEs are less than the amount committed to in the contract, MCC may cancel the contract or suspend or debar the contractor/supplier from participating in future contracts. If a participating M/WBE fails to retain their certification or is unable to satisfactorily perform, the contractor/supplier must obtain other certified M/WBEs to fulfill the M/WBE participation requirements committed to in the awarded bid. The contractor/supplier must obtain the written approval of the Purchasing Manager for any new M/WBE participants. This approval shall not be arbitrarily withheld. If the contractor/supplier cannot obtain an M/WBE replacement, the contractor/supplier must submit documentation to the Purchasing Manager detailing all efforts made to secure an M/WBE replacement. The Purchasing Manager shall have sole discretion in determining if the actions taken by the contractor/supplier constitute a good faith effort to secure the participation of M/WBEs and whether the contract will be amended to change the M/WBE participation commitment.
