INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS Page 4 of 14
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.
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.
Minority Business Enterprise (MBE)
Any business, which is at least 51%, owned by one or more
minorities 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
Women Business Enterprise (WBE):
Any business which is at least 51% owned by one or more women
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
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

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.
CONTRACT COMPLIANCE PROGRAM SUBCONTRACTING

Business Enterprise (WBE) as subcontractors in the performance

construction projects that are estimated at $50,000 or more and

workers owning businesses or living in the Waterloo area must be given
priority in supplying materials, bidding for subcontract work, or applying for
employment by the contractor on this project. Opportunities for training
and for employment arising in connection with this project, shall to the
greatest extent feasible be made available to lower income persons
residing in the project area. The contract area is the City of Waterloo.

persons residing in the project area.

contract documents), a statement of bidder's qualifications, his experience
record in constructing the type of improvements embraced, and his
organization and equipment available for the work contemplated; and,
when specifically requested, a detailed financial statement. The City of
- Waterloo, Iowa, shall have the right to take such steps as it deems
necessary to determine the ability of the bidder to perform his obligations
under the contract, and the bidder shall furnish the City of Waterloo, Iowa,
all such information and data for this purpose as it may request. The right
INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS Page 11 of 14
is reserved to reject any bid where an investigation of the available
evidence or information does not satisfy the City of Waterloo, Iowa, that
the bidder is qualified to carry out properly the terms of the contract.
13. AWARD OF CONTRACT
a. Award of contract will be made to that responsive and responsible
bidder whose bid, conforming to the Specifications, is most
advantageous to the City of Waterloo; price and other factors
considered. The intention is to award the contract at the time of

reasonable time, not exceeding thirty (30) days.

waive any informality in bids received.
c. The bidder shall submit bids on all the items listed in the proposal
and shall state the unit bid price in words in the blank spaces
provided beneath the item description. Should there be any
discrepancy between the unit bid price in words and listed numeral
unit bid price, the City of Waterloo shall consider the unit bid price
in words as being the valid unit bid price. A computer-generated
spreadsheet as herein provided shall also be acceptable.
Proposals requiring mathematical computations to determine unit
prices or totals will be rejected. A contract will be awarded to the
qualified bidder submitting the lowest total bid for the BASE BID
plus ALTERNATE(S) chosen by the City as indicated in the
NOTICE TO BIDDERS.
d. When a contract for a public improvement is to be awarded to the
lowest responsive and responsible bidder, a resident bidder shall
be allowed a preference as against a nonresident bidder from a
state or foreign country if that state or foreign country gives or
requires any preference to bidders from that state or foreign
country, including but not limited to any preference to bidders, the
imposition of any type of labor force preference, or any other form
of preferential treatment to bidders or laborers from that state or
foreign country. The preference allowed shall be equal to the
preference given or required by the state or foreign country in which
the nonresident bidder is a resident. In the instance of a resident
labor force preference, a nonresident bidder shall apply the same
resident labor force preference to a public improvement in this state
as would be required in the construction of a public improvement by
the state or foreign country in which the nonresident bidder is a
resident.

guarantee the prompt payment of all persons, firms, or corporations
to whom the contractor may become legally indebted for labor,
materials, tools, equipment, or services of any nature including
utility and transportation services, employed or used by him in

extended period as the City of Waterloo, Iowa, may grant, based
upon reasons determined sufficient by the City of Waterloo, Iowa,

advertise for bids, and may charge against the bidder the difference
between the amount of the bid an the amount for which a contract
for the work is subsequently executed, irrespective of whether the amount thus due exceeds the amount of the bid guaranty. If a
more favorable bid is received by re-advertising, the defaulting
bidder shall have no claim against the City of Waterloo, Iowa, for a
refund.
