Points are determined by the Equal Business Opportunity Program as follows (Requires Form 50-GFECP):
A. A maximum of twenty (20) rating points may be awarded when the Proposer is a City of Tampa
Certified WMBE firm deemed underutilized within the Industry category established by the RFQ.
B. A maximum of fifteen (15) rating points may be awarded when the Proposer is a City of Tampa
certified SLBE with meaningful participation by City certified WMBE/SLBE sub-
contractors/consultants.
C. One to Fifteen (1-15) rating points may be awarded when the Proposer is not a City of Tampa
certified WMBE/SLBE prime contractor but utilizes either Underutilized WMBE and/or SLBE
certified firm(s) as sub-contractors/consultants and assigned to perform meaningful segments of
the contractual services detailed herein and documented on the enclosed MBD Form 10-20.
D. A maximum of seven (7) “discretionary” rating points may be awarded when the Proposer
provides WMBE/SLBE participation from an external agency recognized by the City. Discretionary
points may be awarded for ancillary participation (see definition). The point values for ancillary
participation may be subordinate to weighted values outlined in categories A, B and C above.
NOTE: *WMBE participation is narrowly-tailored (per policy) to target underutilization of affected groups in
specific trade/industry categories. Any WMBE/SLBE achievement that was not designated on MBD Form
70 is considered ancillary. Ancillary participation may be counted with overall participation and credited
to your rating points when underutilization criteria are met.
The maximum number of points available for WMBE and/or SLBE participation will not exceed a total
of twenty (20) points.

MBD Form 71
Equal Business Opportunity Evaluation Weighted Points: CCNA Proposal Guidelines
Under CCNA solicitations, proposers must submit to preconstruction Good Faith Efforts (GFE)
requirements covering the inclusion of City of Tampa certified WMBE & SLBE firms. Such inclusion shall
be clearly addressed and documented utilizing Forms MBD 10, 20 & 50. Proof of certification shall
include copies of current certification certificates. This applies to ALL Phase 1 preconstruction design
services.
Points awarded during the shortlist selection process will be more heavily weighted predominantly on
the design side (this does not preclude identification of phase 2 projections of construction
participation which follow in the future, i.e., GMPs). In order to ensure the maximum points, a proposer
must clearly identify and quantify its planned participation without ambiguity. Simply marking “To Be
Determined” (TBD) will not satisfy this requirement and may receive significantly lower ratings. Finally,
additional favorable consideration will be granted to the firm(s) that beyond all others and provide(s)
the highest relevant and most binding participation.

GMP Exhibit
Tampa’s Equal Business Opportunity Program Procedures for GMP Contracts
The City of Tampa’s Equal Business Opportunity Program (EBO) requires setting a
construction subcontract goal on each GMP under the CM /or D-Build delivery system.
Prior to the time construction subcontract goals are set, the Construction Manager (CM)
or the Design-Builder (D-B) provides information on subcontract packages planned for
the construction phase(s) and their sequencing.
(Ref: use Detailed GMP Estimate and MBD Form-80 PTW)
The CM (or D-B) participates in a meeting wherein the City will establish narrowly-
tailored project goals for SLBE and/or W/MBE subcontractor participation on the project.
(Ref: use MBD Form-70)
For each subcontracting package to be bid, the CM (or D-B) confirms with the MBD
Office, the City’s minimum contact list of available SLBE and/or W/MBE firms to be
solicited. Note: strategic, extensive outreach is the CM/DB’s responsibility (i.e. GFECP)
(Ref: use Minimum Contact List provided w/final Project EBO Determination Goal)
The CM (or D-B) documents the notification of all potential subcontractors, including the
SLBE or W/MBE firms identified above, i.e. minimum contact list of certified firms.
(Ref: use DMI 10-20 for construction phase Solicitation/Utilization outcomes)
The CM (or D-B) receives, opens, and tabulates subcontract bid results. The City,
including representatives of the managing department and the MBD Office, may be
present for the bid openings or to review the bids submitted.
(Ref: use MBD Form-50 GFECP outreach w/documentation)
The CM (or D-B) provides to the City, a tabulation of all bids received and its
determination of the lowest responsive/responsible bidder. If bids received exceed
contracted Guaranteed Maximum Price, CM (or D-B) advises City as to how they will
proceed. If re-bidding is selected, notification at least equal to the original solicitation
will occur. (Ref: Reaffirm EBO Outreach)
As all subcontracts are executed, final copies are provided to the City. Where
participation is achieved via sub-subcontractors and/or suppliers, the CM (or D-B)
provides the City and MBD with copy of executed agreement or purchase order as
documentation. (Ref: use MBD Form-40 LOIs execute “Letters-of-Intent)
During construction, monitoring activities may including but may not be limited to,
subcontractor payment reports to be submitted with pay requests, prior approval by the
MBD Office and the managing departments, of any replacement of SLBE or W/MBE
subcontractors, and a report of final amounts paid to all subcontractors.
(Ref: use #1-DMI 30 Form w/Pay Applications; #2-Prime & Subs must log into
Diversity Mgt. Compliance System to report payment activity)

The Compliance Plan with attachments is a true account of Good Faith Efforts (GFE) made to achieve the participation goals as
specified for Women/Minority Business Enterprises/Small Local Business Enterprises (WMBE/SLBE) on the referenced contract:
The WMBE/SLBE participation Goal is Met or Exceeded. See DMI Forms 10 and 20 which accurately report all
subcontractors solicited and all subcontractors to-be-utilized.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The WMBE/SLBE participation Goal is Not Achieved. The following list is an overview of the baseline GFE action
steps already performed. Furthermore, it is understood that these GFE requirements are weighted in the compliance
evaluation based on the veracity and demonstrable degree of documentation provided with the bid/proposal:
(Check applicable boxes below. Must enclose supporting documents accordingly with remarks)
(1) Solicited through reasonable and available means the interest of WMBE/SLBEs that have the capability to perform the work of the contract. The Bidder or Proposer must
solicit this interest within sufficient time to allow the WMBE/SLBEs to respond. The Bidder or Proposer must take appropriate steps to follow up initial solicitations with
interested WMBE/SLBEs. See DMI report forms for subcontractors solicited. See enclosed supplemental data on solicitation
efforts. Qualifying Remarks:
(2) Provided interested WMBE/SLBEs with adequate, specific scope information about the plans, specifications, and requirements of the contract, including addenda, in a
timely manner to assist them in responding to the requested-scope identified by bidder/proposer for the solicitation. See enclosed actual solicitations
used. Qualifying Remarks:
(3) Negotiated in good faith with interested WMBE/SLBEs that have submitted bids (e.g. adjusted quantities or scale). Documentation of negotiation must include the names,
addresses, and telephone numbers of WMBE/SLBEs that were solicited; the date of each such solicitation; a description of the information provided regarding the plans
and specifications for the work selected for subcontracting; and evidence as to why agreements could not be reached with WMBE/SLBEs to perform the work. Additional
costs involved in soliciting and using subcontractors is not a sufficient reason for a bidder/proposer’s failure to meet goals or achieve participation, as long as such costs
are reasonable. Bidders are not required to accept excessive quotes in order to meet the goal.
DMI Utilized Forms for sub-(contractor/consultant) reflect genuine negotiations This project is an RFQ/RFP in nature
and negotiations are limited to clarifications of scope/specifications and qualifications. See enclosed documentation.
Qualifying Remarks:
(4) Not rejecting WMBE/SLBEs as being unqualified without justification based on a thorough investigation of their capabilities. The WMBE/SLBEs standing within its industry,
membership in specific groups, organizations / associations and political or social affiliations are not legitimate causes for rejecting or not soliciting bids to meet the goals.
Not applicable. See attached justification for rejection of a subcontractor’s bid or proposal. Qualifying Remarks:
(5) Made scope(s) of work available to WMBE/SLBE subcontractors and suppliers; and, segmented portions of the work or material consistent with the available
WMBE/SLBE subcontractors and suppliers, so as to facilitate meeting the goal. Sub-Contractors were allowed to bid on their own choice of
work or trade without restriction to a pre-determined portion. See enclosed comments. Qualifying Remarks:
(6) Made good faith efforts, despite the ability or desire of Bidder/Proposer to perform the work of a contract with its own forces/organization. A Bidder/Proposer who desires
to self-perform the work of a contract must demonstrate good faith efforts if the goal has not been met. Sub-Contractors were not prohibited from
submitting bids/proposals and were solicited on work typically self-performed by the prime. Qualifying Remarks:
(7) Segmented portions of the work to be performed by WMBE/SLBEs in order to increase the likelihood that the goals will be met. This includes, where appropriate,
breaking out contract work items into economically feasible units (quantities/scale) to facilitate WMBE/SLBE participation, even when the Bidder/Proposer might otherwise
prefer to perform these work items with its own forces. Sub-Contractors were allowed to bid on their own choice of work or trade without
restriction to a pre-determined portion. Sub-Contractors were not prohibited from submitting bids/proposals and were
solicited on work typically self-performed by the prime. See enclosed comments. Qualifying Remarks:
(8) Made efforts to assist interested WMBE/SLBEs in obtaining bonding, lines of credit, or insurance as required by the city or contractor.
See enclosed documentation on initiatives undertaken and methods to accomplish. Qualifying Remarks:
(9) Made efforts to assist interested WMBE/SLBEs in obtaining necessary equipment, supplies, materials, or related assistance or services, including participation in an
acceptable mentor-protégé program. See enclosed documentation of initiatives and/or agreements. Qualifying Remarks:
(10) Effectively used the services of the City and other organizations that provide assistance in the recruitment and placement of WMBE/SLBEs.
See enclosed documentation. The following services were used:

8. In its solicitations, the Bidder should offer assistance to WMBE/SLBEs in obtaining bonding, insurance, et
cetera, if required of subcontractors by the City or Prime Contractor.
9. In its solicitation, the Bidder should offer assistance in obtaining equipment for a specific job to
