Good Faith Efforts Documentation and Standards Sample Clauses

Good Faith Efforts Documentation and Standards. If the responder’s DBE commitment falls short of the DBE goal, the responder must demonstrate adequate good faith efforts (GFE) in order to be eligible for contract award (49 CFR § 26.53). To demonstrate that the responder made adequate GFE, the responder must show documentation that the responder took all necessary and reasonable steps to achieve the DBE goal which, by their scope, intensity, and appropriateness to the objective, could reasonably be expected to obtain sufficient DBE participation, even if the responder were not fully successful. The efforts employed by the responder should be those that one could reasonably expect the responder to take if the responder were actively and aggressively trying to obtain DBE participation sufficient to meet the DBE contract goal.

The listed actions are consistent with GFE, but the list is not a mandatory checklist, nor is it intended to be exclusive or exhaustive. MnDOT will also consider the performance of other bidders relative to the DBE goal. Other factors or types of efforts may be relevant in appropriate cases. MnDOT will make GFE determinations on a case-by-case basis.
