(page 2 of 2)
Pursuant to Part C, Section 4.4 of the SBO Program (Failure to Negotiate In Good Faith), the City may
find that a Proposer did not meet its Good Faith Negotiation obligation, if in the City’s judgment, the
Proposer rejects an Interested SBE’s bid for reasons other than: (a) the SBE’s bid was higher than what
was proposed by the subcontractor or supplier the Proposer decided to use or higher than the Proposer’s
cost of performing such work on its own; (b) the SBE was not a “Qualified SBE” as defined in Part A; or (c)
the Business Enterprise that will be performing in place of the Interested SBE is more qualified than the
Interested SBE, to the extent that such difference in qualification would materially impact the Proposer’s
Bid, or (d) there was a material deficiency with the Interested SBE’s bid (such as it being submitted late,
containing inaccurate information, etc.).
The undersigned certifies that the information submitted on this Form 2 is true and accurate as of the date
indicated below. The undersign further certifies that contacts by U.S. Postal Service, telephone conversations
and in person contacts documented on this Form 2 were made in accordance with the requirements of Part B,
Section 5.3.2 of the SBO Program and that this shall satisfy as the affidavit confirming such contacts.
