TSB DEFINITION A TSB is a small business, as defined by Iowa Code Section 15.102(5), wh oh is 51% or more owned, operated and actively managed by one or more women, minority persons o persons with a disability. Generally this is a for-profit small business enterprise under single management, is located in Iowa and has an annual gross income of less than 3 million dollars computed as an average of the three preceding fiscal years. L. TSB REQUIREMENTS In all State-assisted projects made available through the Iowa Department of Transportation, local governments have certain affirmative action requirements to encourage and increase participation of disadvantaged individuals in business enterprises. These requirements are based on Iowa Code Section 19B.7 and 541 Iowa Administrative Code Chapter 4. These requirements supersede all existing TSB regulations, orders, circulars and administrative requirements. M. TSB DIRECTORY INFORMATION Available from: Iowa Department of Inspections and Appeals Targeted Small Business Lucas Building Des Moines, IA 50319 Phone: 515-281-7357 Website: www.iowai.net/iowa/dia/tsb N. THE CONTRACTOR'S TSB POLICY The contractor is expected to promote participation of disadvantaged business enterprises as suppliers, manufactures and subcontractors through a continuous, positive, result-oriented program. Therefore the contractor's TSB policy shall be: It is the policy of this firm that Targeted Small Business (TSB) concerns shall have the maximum practical opportunity to participate in contracts TSB PAGE VI-1 funded with State-assisted funds which are administered by this firm (e.g. suppliers, manufactures and subcontractors). The purpose of our policy is to encourage and increase the TSB participation in contracting opportunities made available by State-assisted programs. O. CONTRACTOR SHALL APPOINT AN EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY (EEO) OFFICER The contractor shall designate a responsible person to serve as TSB officer to fulfill the contractors affirmative action responsibilities. This person shall have the necessary statistics, funding, authority and responsibility to carry out and enforce the firm's EEO policy. The EEO officer shall be responsible for developing, managing and implementing the program on a day-to-day basis. The officer shall also: A. For current TSB information, contact the Iowa Department of Inspections and Appeals (515-281-7357) to identify potential material suppliers, manufactures and contractors. B. Make every reasonable effort to involve TSBs by soliciting quotations from them and incorporating them into the firm's bid. C. Make every reasonable effort to establish systematic written and verbal contact with those TSBs having the materials or expertise to perform the work to be subcontracted, at least two weeks prior to the time quotations are to be submitted. Maintain complete records of negotiation efforts. D. Provide or arrange for assistance to TSBs in seeking bonding, analyzing plans/specifications or other actions that can be viewed as technical assistance. E. Ensure the scheduled progress payments are made to TSBs as agreed in subcontract agreements. F. Require all subcontractors and material suppliers to comply with all contract equal opportunity and affirmative action provisions. P. COUNTING TSBs PARTICIPATION ON A PROJECT TSBs are to assume actual and contractual responsibilities for provision of materials/supplies, subcontracted work or other commercially useful function. A. The bidder may count: (1) Planned expenditures for materials/supplies to be obtained from TSB suppliers and manufacturers; or (2) Work to be subcontracted to a TSB; or (3) Any other commercially useful function. B. The contractor may count: TSB PAGE VI-2 (1) 100% of an expenditure to a TSB manufacturer tiat produces/supplies goods manufactured from raw materials. (2) 60% of an expenditure to TSB suppliers that are not manufacturers; provided the suppliers perform a commercially useful function in the supply process. (3) Only those expenditures to TSBs that perform a commercially useful function in the work of a contract, including those as a subcontractor. (4) Work the Contracting Authority has determined that it involves a commercially useful function. The TSB must have a necessary and useful role in the transaction of a kind for which there is a market outside the context of the TSB program. For example, leasing equipment or purchasing materials from the prime contractor would not count. Q. REQUIRED DATA, DOCUMENTS AND CONTRACT AWARD PROCEDURES FROM BIDDERS/CONTRACTORS FOR PROJECTS WITH ASSIGNED GOALS A. Bidders Bidders who fail to demonstrate reasonable positive efforts may be declared ineligible to be awarded the contract. Bidders shall complete the bidding documents plus a separate form called "TSB Pre-Bid Contact Information". This form includes: (1) Name(s) of the TSB(s) contacted regarding subcontractable items. (2) Date of the contract. (3) Whether or not a TSB bid/quotation was received. (4) Whether or not the TSB's bid/quotation was used. (5) The dollar amount proposed to be subcontracted. B. Contractors Using Quotes From TSBs Use those TSBs whose quotes are listed in the "Quotation Used in Bid" column along with a "yes" indicated on the Pre-bid Contact Information form. C. Contractors NOT Using Quotes From TSBs If there are no TSBs listed on the Pre-bid Contract Info-mation form, then the contractor shall document all efforts made to include TSB participation in this project by documenting the following: (1) What pre-solicitation or pre-bid meetings scheduled by the contracting authority were attended?
