If you need to add or replace an SBE, you must comply with Part D, Section 3.
If the scope of work on the Contract increases, or if you elect to subconsult any portion of work not

Subconsultant/Supplier Utilization Commitment
Pursuant to Part C, Section 3.6, when the City sets an SBE Goal prior to Proposal opening, the City Solicitation
Documents will include a form labeled “Subconsultant/Supplier Utilization Commitment” (“Form 3”), which captures
information regarding the SBEs and other subconsultants and suppliers that the Proposer intends to use on the
Contract. Failure to properly complete and submit Form 3 with the Proposal may result in the City excluding a
Proposal/Qualification Package from further consideration.
Pursuant to Part C, Section 3.7, within (3) Business Days after receiving a request from the City (or within such
longer time as may be communicated by the City in writing), Proposers must submit a separate Letter of Intent for
each SBE listed on Form 3. Proposers may use the Letter of Intent that the City provides with the City Solicitation
Documents or may use an alternative form if it contains the same information as Form 4. Regardless of the form,
each Letter of Intent must be executed by both the SBE and the Proposer. The City shall not count proposed SBE
utilization for which it has not received a Letter of Intent within such time period, unless the SBE certifies to the
City that it originally agreed to participate in the Contract at the level reported by the Proposer, but subsequently
declined to do so.
