MBE/WBE CONTRACT COMPLIANCE PROGRAM � PURPOSE r The purpose of the Contract Compliance Program (hereinafter called Program) is to act as an impetus for increasing the participation of minority and women disadvantaged business _ enterprise (MBE/WBE) in City awarded construction contracts. The Program does not propose to eliminate any bonafide contractor _ or subcontractor from bidding on City contracts, but it will hopefully serve as a needed stimulus to help local MBE/WBE's grow and eventually become mainstream contractors and subcontractors. This Contract Compliance Program does not propose to include any set-aside or quotas, but only flexible goals where "good-faith — efforts" are required by the contractor to use MBEM/BE subcontractors. — This Program shall not eliminate the need for contractors to continue their "good-faith efforts" in using MBE/WBE subcontractors on City contracts estimated at less than $50,000. The City of Waterloo will make every effort to reduce in-house construction and maintenance work that would be more cost — effectively performed by the private sector and, thus, would allow additional bidding opportunities for MBE/WBE firms. — The City Contract Compliance Officer shall be advised of all City of Waterloo awarded construction contracts. �` DEFINITIONS Goals: ` A flexible numerically expressed objective which contractors are required to make "good-faith efforts." The key to the requirement is to make documented efforts. Goals are neither set-a-sides nor a —' device to achieve proportional representation or equal results. Numerical goals do not create set-a-sides for specific groups, nor are they designed to achieve proportional representation or equal " results. Rather, the goal-setting process in affirmative action planning is used to target and measure the effectiveness of _ affirmative action efforts to eradicate and prevent discrimination. _ INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS Page 5 of 14 Quota: A flat numerical requirement that the contractor is required to meet — in order to obtain the benefit or be in compliance. The numerical goal component of affirmative action programs is not designed to be, nor may it properly or lawfully be interpreted as, permitting — unlawful preferential treatment and quotas with respect to persons of any race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. The regulations at 41 CFR 60-2.12(a), 60-2.15 and 60-2.30, specifically prohibit — discrimination and the use of goals as quotas. (U.S. Department of Labor) Set-Aside: An arrangement in which a particular contract is reserved for competition solely among minority and women business " enterprises. Contractor. — As used in this document means contractor, subcontractor, supplier, vendor, and professional service provider.
