If a bidder or contractor is unable to comply with the business equity goal requirements for a contract, such bidder or contractor may submit one of the two forms prepared by the DVIN listed below. If the DVIN denies a request to waive a goal; the bidder or city department may appeal that denial to the city manager whose decision on the request shall be final.
(a) A contractor waiver form may be submitted if a bidder will perform the entire contract without subcontractors or suppliers.
(b) A good faith effort form is submitted if the bidder or contractor has a subcontracting and/or supplier opportunity but was unable to meet or exceed the business equity goal. The bidder or contractor shall submit requested documentation that demonstrates a good faith effort to comply with the business equity goal.
