REDUCTION/WAIVER OF MBE/WBE GOALS. A. Granting or Denying a Reduction/Waiver Request. 1.

With respect to a Petition for Reduction/Waiver, the sufficiency or insufficiency of a Bidder or Proposer’s Good Faith Efforts shall be evaluated by the CCD as of the date upon which the corresponding Bid or Proposal was due. 3.
