establishes goals for minority/female, small and disadvantaged business participation in

construction, professional services, and general procurement.

a. The Chatham County Board of Commissioners under Georgia law may reject any

bid as non-responsive if they feel a bidder did not exercise "Good Faith Effort" in

obtaining the goal established for M/WBE participation.

The Chatham County Board of Commissioners adopted a policy establishing goals

oriented to increase participation of minority and female owned businesses, through

MBE/WBE certification and development. In order to accurately document

participation, businesses submitting bids, quotes or proposals are encouraged to

report ownership status. A bidder or vendor that is certified by any agency of the

Federal Government or State of Georgia may submit a copy of their certification

with their bid as proof of qualifications. Bidders that intend to engage in joint

ventures or utilize subcontractors must submit to the County Contracts

Administrator, a repoft on Minority/Female Business Enterprise participation.
