In 2006, the State of New York commissioned a disparity study to evaluate whether minority and women-owned business enterprises had a full and fair opportunity to participate in state contracting. The findings of the study were published on April 29, 2010, under the title "The State of Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprises: Evidence from New York" (“the Disparity Study”). The report found evidence of statistically significant disparities between the level of participation of minority and women-owned business enterprises in state procurement contracting versus the number of minority and women-owned business enterprises that were ready, willing and able to participate in state procurements. As a result of these findings, the Disparity Study made recommendations concerning the implementation and operation of the statewide certified minority and women-owned business enterprises program. By submission of a bid or proposal in response to this solicitation, the Offerer agrees with all of the terms and conditions of Appendix A including Clause 12 - Equal Employment Opportunities for Minorities and Women. The contractor is required to ensure that it and any subcontractors awarded a subcontract over $25,000 for the construction, demolition, replacement, major repair, renovation, planning or design of real property and improvements thereon (the "Work") except where the Work is for the beneficial use of the Contractor, shall undertake or continue programs to ensure that minority group members and women are afforded equal employment opportunities without discrimination because of race, creed, color, national origin, sex, age, disability or marital status. For these purposes, equal opportunity shall apply in the areas of recruitment, employment, job assignment, promotion, upgrading, demotion, transfer, layoff, termination, and rates of pay or other forms of compensation. This requirement does not apply to: (i) work, goods, or services unrelated to this contract; or (ii) employment outside New York State. Contractor further agrees to submit with the bid a staffing plan (Form EEO 100) identifying the anticipated work force to be utilized on the Contract and if awarded a contract, will, upon request, submit to OGS a workforce utilization report (Form EEO 101) identifying the work force actually utilized on the Contract if known. For purposes of this procurement, OGS hereby establishes a goal of 11% for Minority-owned Business Enterprises (MBE) participation and 9% for Women-owned Business Enterprises (WBE) participation (collectively referred to as MWBE), for a total contract MWBE goal of 20%. A Contractor must document good faith efforts to provide meaningful participation by MWBEs as subcontractors or suppliers in the performance of this Contract and Contractor agrees that OGS may withhold payment pending receipt of the required MWBE documentation. The directory of New York State Certified MWBEs can be viewed at: ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇.▇▇▇/MWBE.html. For guidance on how OGS will determine a Contractor’s “good faith efforts,” refer to 5 NYCRR §142.8. In accordance with 5 NYCRR §142.13, Offeror/Contractor acknowledges that if it is found to have willfully and intentionally failed to comply with the MWBE participation goals set forth in the Contract, such finding constitutes a breach of Contract and OGS may withhold payment from the Contractor as liquidated damages. Such liquidated damages shall be calculated as an amount equaling the difference between: (1) all sums identified for payment to MWBEs had the Contractor achieved the contractual MWBE goals; and (2) all sums actually paid to MWBEs for work performed or materials supplied under the Contract. By submitting a bid or proposal, Offeror/Contractor agrees to submit the following documents and information as evidence of compliance with the foregoing: A. Offeror is required to submit a Utilization Plan on Form MWBE 100 with their bid or proposal. The Utilization Plan shall list the MWBEs the Contractor intends to use to perform the State contract and a description of the Contract scope of work that the Contractor intends to structure to meet the goals on the State contract, and the estimated or, if known, actual dollar amounts to be paid to and performance dates of each component of a State contract that the Contractor intends to be performed by a NYS Certified minority- or woman-owned business. Any modifications or changes to the agreed participation by NYS Certified M/WBEs after the Contract Award and during the term of the Contract must be reported on a revised M/WBE Utilization Plan and submitted to OGS. B. OGS will review the submitted MWBE Utilization Plan and advise the Offeror of OGS acceptance or issue a notice of deficiency within 20 days of receipt. C. If a notice of deficiency is issued, Offeror agrees that it shall respond to the notice of deficiency within seven (7) business days of receipt by submitting to the OGS Office of Minority and Women-Owned Enterprises, [35th Floor, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Phone: (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ Fax: (518) ▇▇▇- ▇▇▇▇], a written remedy in response to the notice of deficiency. If the written remedy that is submitted is not timely or is found by OGS to be inadequate, OGS shall notify the Offeror and direct the Offeror to submit, within five (5) business days, a request for a partial or total waiver of MWBE participation goals on Form MWBE101/BDC 333. Failure to file the waiver form in a timely manner may be grounds for disqualification of the bid or proposal. D. OGS may disqualify an Offeror as being non-responsive under the following circumstances: a) If an Offeror fails to submit a MWBE Utilization Plan; b) If an Offeror fails to submit a written remedy to a notice of deficiency; c) If an Offeror fails to submit a request for waiver; or d) If OGS determines that the Offeror has failed to document good faith efforts. An Offeror who documents good faith efforts to meet the goal requirements may submit a request for a partial or total waiver on form MWBE 101/BDC 333, at the same time it submits its MWBE Utilization Plan. If a request for waiver is submitted with the MWBE Utilization Plan and is not accepted by OGS at that time, the provisions of clauses B-D above, will apply. A Contractor shall attempt to utilize, in good faith, any MBE or WBE identified within its MWBE Utilization Plan, during the performance of the Contract. Requests for a partial or total waiver of established goal requirements made subsequent to Contract Award may be made at any time during the term of the Contract to OGS, but must be made no later than prior to the submission of a request for final payment on the Contract. A Contractor is required to submit a Contractor’s Monthly Compliance & Payment Report on Form MWBE 102 to the OGS Office of Minority and Women-Owned Enterprises, [35th Floor, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Phone: (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ Fax: (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇], by the 10th day of each month during the term of the Contract documenting the progress made toward achievement of the MWBE goals of the Contract.
