Pre-Bid Contact Information Form shall be submitted with the Form
of Bid or Proposal. Failure to do so shall be grounds for the bid

10. MBE/WBE CONTRACT COMPLIANCE PROGRAM
PURPOSE
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 MBE/WBE
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.
INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS Page 4 of 13
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.
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.

Women Business Enterprise (WBE):

and whose management and daily business operations are
controlled by one or more such individuals and is on the current
State Unified Certification List, or were listed on the City of
Waterloo Certified MBE/WBE Contractors list as of July 1, 2002
INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS Page 5 of 13
Minority:
Any person or persons who are considered as socially and
economically disadvantaged because of their identity as a group
member without regard to their individual qualities. The groups
include: Black American, Hispanic American, Native Americans,
Eskimos, Aleuts, and Asian-Pacific Americans. 13 C.F.R. 124-
1.1(c)(3)(ii)(1983).
Lowest Responsible Bidder:
Bidder who has offered the lowest bid and who has exhibited skill
relative to the type of work bid on, judgment, financial responsibility,
and evidence of working with the Affirmative Action Employment
Program and the Contract Compliance Program.
Broker:
One buying or selling for others on commission or other fee basis
without maintaining a warehouse or other similar inventory storage
facility.
Mayor's Advisory Committee:
Mayor's Advisory Committee for Minority, Female, and
Disadvantaged Business Enterprise.
Good Faith Efforts:
The successful bidder shall be selected on the basis of having
submitted the lowest responsible bid. The obligation of the bidder is
to make good faith efforts. The bidder can demonstrate that it has
done so by the following:
1 The Prime Contractor met the project goal - No Action necessary
2. If the Prime Contractor failed to meet the goal, they must submit
documentation of good faith efforts.

subcontract award, documentation must accompany the

consistent with the requirements of the Contract Compliance

1. Place membrane without stretching over the acceptable substrate. Allow
membrane to relax a minimum of 30 minutes before bonding.
2. Fold membrane back after making sure the sheet is placed in its final
position, fold it back evenly onto itself so as to expose the underside. The
sheet should lay smooth so as to minimize the formation of wrinkles during
and after installation.
- 3. Provide special emphasis to remove all stones,pebbles, and other material
before gluing sheets to substrate.
4. Remove dust and dirt by sweeping the mating surface of the membrane with
- a stiff broom to remove excess dusting agent(if any)or other contaminants
from the mating surface.
5. Apply bonding adhesive at about the same time to both the exposed
underside of the sheet and the substrate to which it will be adhered so as to
allow approximately the same drying time. Apply bonding adhesive evenly
so as to avoid globs.
