Title Date Any public water system receiving an award from the Safe Drinking Water Revolving Loan Fund and the Drinking Water Source Protection Fund must ensure good-faith implementation of the six good-faith efforts comprising the federal “Fair Share Program,” for the solicitation of all contractors providing construction, equipment, supplies, engineering or other services that constitute the project financed by the award. Documentation demonstrating that these six good faith efforts have been taken must be included and maintained in the water system’s project files. Likewise, once a contractor has been selected by the water system, that contractor must adhere to the following six good-faith efforts in soliciting its subcontractors: 1. Ensure Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs) are made aware of contracting opportunities to the fullest extent practicable through outreach and recruitment activities. For Indian Tribal, state and local government recipients, this will include placing DBEs on solicitation lists and soliciting them whenever they are potential sources. (Note: The acronym DBE used throughout this document is a global term for Minority Business Enterprises (MBEs) and Women’s Business Enterprises (WBEs). 2. Make information on forthcoming opportunities available to DBEs and arrange time frames for contracts and establish delivery schedules, where the requirements permit, in a way that encourages and facilitates participation by DBEs in the competitive process. This includes, whenever possible, posting solicitations for bids or proposals for a minimum of 30 calendar days before the bid or proposal closing date. 3. Consider in the contracting process whether firms competing for large contracts could subcontract with DBEs. For Indian Tribal, state and local government recipients, this will include dividing total requirements, when economically feasible, into smaller tasks or quantities to permit maximum participation by DBEs in the competitive process. 4. Encourage contracting with a consortium of DBEs when a contract is too large for one of these firms to handle individually. 5. Utilize the services of the Small Business Administration (SBA) and the Minority Business Development Agency of the Department of Commerce. 6. If the prime contractor awards subcontracts, require the prime contractor to take these six good-faith efforts in subcontracting with Disadvantaged Business Enterprises for any subcontract that they let.
