22.OMinority,Women's or Veteran's Business Enterprise Participation Plan for Goods and Services
It is the policy of the City of Indianapolis that Minority Business Enterprises(MBEs),Women Business
Enterprises(WBEs), and Veteran Business Enterprises (VBEs)shall have the maximum feasible opportunity
to participate in the performance of contracts. Consequently, the City, through Article IV, sections 201-401 of
the revised municipal code and Executive Order 5, 2008, has established MBE participation goals of 15%,
WBE participation goals of 8%, and VBE participation goals of 3%for its dollars spent on public works,
goods, and services.
The Contractor shall include information concerning its MBE, WBE, and VBE utilization for this contract on the
attached MBE/WBENBE Participation Plan. To receive credit toward the MBE/WBENBE goals, all MBE, WBE,
and VBE suppliers offered for"direct participation" in a contract(e.g. subcontracting) must be certified by the
City's Department of Minority&Women Business Development(DMWBD). Contractors able to offer direct
participation in the form of subcontractors must indicate the name of the MBE/WBENBE firm(s)with which it will
work;the contact name and phone number for the firm(s); the service(s)supplied by the firm(s); and the specific
dollar amount from this contract that will be directed toward each firm. The evaluation and review of a
Contractor's MBE/WBENBE participation, including a review of documentation and information submitted, shall
be undertaken by DMWBD. If you should need assistance in obtaining MBE/WBENBE certification for possible
participation in a contract, please contact the DMWBD at http://www.indv.gov/eGov/Citv/DMWBD/MBE-WBE-
VBE/Pages/Certification.asox or(317)327-5262. Respondents can view a list of City DMWBD approved
MBE/WBENBE contractors by going to this web page: http://www.indv.aov/eGov/City/DMWBD/MBE-WBE-
VBE/Pages/ContractorList.aspx and clicking on the appropriate"contractor list".
The Contractor shall maintain adequate records of all relevant data with respect to the utilization and attempted
utilization of MBEs, WBEs, and VBEs and shall provide full access to these records to the DMWBD upon its
request to inspect them. The City may require the Contractor to submit information in addition to the
MBE/WBENBE Participation Plan and/or Application for MBE/WBENBE Program Waiver regarding
MBE/WBENBE certification and utilization. Such information may include, but is not limited to the following: (1)
Copies of all executed agreements for each MBE/WBENBE engaged to satisfy the participation policies, (2)the
name and address of the MBE/WBENBE, (3)the scope of work to be performed, (4)the dollar value of work to
be performed or furnished by each proposed MBE/WBENBE subcontractor or MBE/WBENBE joint venture
partner, (5)acknowledgement and acceptance of the agreement by the MBE/WBENBE, and (6)monthly
utilization payment reports with each monthly application for payment.
While direct participation of MBE/WBENBE subcontractors is preferred, if it cannot be accomplished for this
contract,"indirect participation"may be acceptable. Examples of indirect participation might include the use of
common MBE/WBENBE suppliers (i.e., office suppliers, courier services, shipping services, etc.)contributing to
overhead costs or the overall operation of the business. Indirect participation may occur at the local, regional or
national level. (Note: For common suppliers located outside of Indiana that are participating in an indirect
fashion, please return proof of home state or municipal certification to the DMWBD.) If the trade is an overhead
item for the entire business, please calculate, to the best of your ability, the proportion or amount of the business
from this contract that will impact MBE/WBENBEs.
Any contractor that does not have MBE/WBENBE direct participation shall submit the attached Application for
MBE/WBENBE Program Waiver with the reasons for the lack of participation. The Waiver requires submission of
documents showing the good faith efforts that were made by the Contractor for the purpose of attaining
MBEWBENBE firms as subcontractors or sources of supplies,equipment,and services. The Waiver must be
submitted if a contractor does not have any direct or indirect MBE/WBENBE participation. If a contractor has only
indirect participation,then the Waiver must be submitted for the direct participation and the MBEWBENBE
Participation Plan must be submitted for the indirect participation.
Failure to provide the MBE/WBENBE Participation Plan or Application for Waiver at the time of
submission will result in the disqualification and rejection of the bid/proposal. The Purchasing
Division and the DMWBD reserve the right to verify all information included in the
MBE/WBENBE Participation Plan before making final determination of the contractor's
responsiveness and responsibility.
