ATTACHMENT F - M/WBE Goal
BUSINESS DIVERSITY ENTERPRISE (BDE) ORDINANCE PROVISION:
The City of Fort Worth implemented the Business Diversity Enterprise (BDE)
Ordinance to reflect the City's availability and disparity study findings. All
proposers shall note that it is the policy of the City to ensure the full and equitable
participation of Minority/Women Business Enterprises (M/WBEs) in the
procurement of services $50,000 or more. This Request for Proposal consists of
an MAA/BE goal.
The Minority/Women Business Enterprise (M/WBE) diverse goal is 15%.
The information shall be submitted with the proposal and shall include:
■ The company name, address, point of contact, email address, office and fax
telephone numbers of the MAA/BE subcontractors and suppliers;
■ A detailed description of the work to be performed or supplied by each M/WBE;
■ The tier level, i.e., 1St 2nd 3rd etc. (if other than 1St tier, the plan must clearly
identify the firm name and tier from whom the MAA/BE firm will be receiving
payment)
■ The sub-contract value or percentage of work for each MAA/BE participant;
■ State the MAA/BE percentage level of commitment achieved; and
■ Provide the same identification information for all non-MAA/BE participants
It is important to note that only MAA/BE subcontractors and suppliers that perform
a commercially useful function may count towards the 15% MAA/BE diverse goal.
If the Proposer is certified as a DBE, MBE, SBE or WBE firm, it is not permissible
to count itself or its subsidiary-owned companies towards the established goal;
the goal represents subcontracting opportunities.
Proposers must obtain M/WBE listings from the City of Fort Worth's MAA/BE Office
at (817) 392-2674 or email mwbeoffice(aD-fortworthtexas.gov. This will ensure that
Proposers are acknowledging M/WBE firms currently certified by the North Central
Texas Regional Certification Agency (NCTRCA) or other certifying agencies that
the City may deem appropriate and accepted by the City of Fort Worth at the time
proposals are submitted, in order for the participation to be counted towards the
established diverse goal. The firms must be located in the City's six (6) county
geographic marketplace that includes the counties of: Tarrant, Dallas, Denton,
Johnson, Parker and Wise. Also note if a firm is DBE certified that reflects minority
ownership and meets the criteria's stated, it may count towards the goal.
If an Offeror (regardless of certification status or if a non-D/M/W/MBE), however,
forms a joint venture with one or more M/WBEs, the M/WBE joint venture
percentage participation will be counted towards the established goal. The
appropriate City of Fort Worth Joint Venture form must be submitted for review and
ITB 18-0142 Grounds Maintenance of Right of Ways
Page 27 of 86
approval in order for it to be counted. The City of Fort Worth strongly encourages
joint ventures.
If Offeror failed to meet the stated M/WBE goal, in part or in whole, then a detailed
explanation must be submitted to explain the Good and Honest Efforts your firm
made to secure M/WBE participation.
Failure to submit the M/WBE participation information or the detailed explanation
of the proposer's Good and Honest Efforts to meet or exceed the stated M/WBE
goal, may render the proposal non-responsive.
The M/WBE commitment will be part of the final weighted selection criteria.

Identify all subcontractors/suppliers you will use on this project
Failure to complete this form, in its entirety with requested documentation, and received by the Purchasing
Division no later than 2:00 p.m. on the second City business day after bid opening, exclusive of bid opening date,
will result in the bid being considered non-responsive to bid specifications.
The undersigned Offeror agrees to enter into a formal agreement with the M/WBE firm(s) listed in this utilization
schedule, conditioned upon execution of a contract with the City of Fort Worth. The intentional and/or knowing
misrepresentation of facts is grounds for consideration of disqualification and will result in the bid being
considered non-responsive to bid specifications.
MMBEs listed toward meeting the project goal must be located in the six (6) county marketplace at the time
of bid or the business has a Significant Business Presence in the Marketplace. Marketplace is the geographic
area of Tarrant, Dallas, Denton, Johnson, Parker, and Wise counties.
Prime contractors must identify by tier level of all subcontractors/suppliers. Tier: means the level of
subcontracting below the prime contractor/consultant i.e. a direct payment from the prime contractor to a
subcontractor is considered 1St tier, a payment by a subcontractor to its supplier is considered 2nd tier. The prime
contractor is responsible to provide proof of payment of all tiered subcontractors identified as a M/WBE and
counting those dollars towards meeting the contract committed goal.
ALL M/WBEs MUST BE CERTIFIED BEFORE CONTRACT AWARD.
Certification means those firms, located within the Marketplace, that have been determined to be a bondafide minority
business enterprise by the North Central Texas Regional Certification Agency(NCTRCA)or other certifying agencies that
the City may deem appropriate and accepted by the City of Fort Worth.
If hauling services are utilized, the Offeror will be given credit as long as the M/WBE listed owns and
operates at least one fully licensed and operational truck to be used on the contract. The M/WBE may lease
trucks from another M/WBE firm, including M/WBE owner-operated, and receive full M/WBE credit. The
M/WBE may lease trucks from non-M/WBEs, including owner-operated, but will only receive credit for the
fees and commissions earned by the M/WBE as outlined in the lease agreement.
