§ 2-1371. Procedures to require that participating SBEs are identified by name by competitors for contracts.

The city shall indicate, in solicitations for contracts that provide opportunities for SBE participation, goals for the use of SBE firms. Solicitations shall require all bidders to submit a written assurance of meeting the goals in their bids or proposals. Bids must also include a proposed schedule of SBE participation that lists the names of SBE subcontractors, a description of the work each is to perform, and the dollar value of each proposed SBE subcontract. If the SBE participation does not meet the SBE contract goals, the bidders must submit sufficient information and evidence demonstrating that the bidder made good faith efforts to meet the goals.

Bidders are required to submit this information with their bids and bidders are so informed at the time of solicitation. Agreements between a bidder and a SBE in which the SBE promises not to provide subcontracting quotations to other bidders shall be prohibited.
