A             A Joint Venture Bidder consisting of one or more MBE/WBE/VBE/DOBE                                                     parties will be credited with MBE/WBE/VBE/DOBE  participation on the basis                                                        of percentage of the dollar amount of the work to be performed by the                                                              MBE/WBE/VBE/DOBE.  For example, if such Joint Venture proposes to                                                       perform fifty percent (50%) of the dollar amount of the work quoted at                                                                  $1,000,000 and fifty percent 950%) of the work is to be                                                                                                              performed by the MBE/WBE/VBE/DOBE Joint Venture partner,                                                                        MBE/WBE/VBE/DOBE participation will be credited as twenty-five percent                                                     (25%) of the work or $250,000.

B             A Bidder will receive sixty percent (60%) toward goal attainment for the use                                                            of minority suppliers who are not manufacturers, i.e. where a Bidder proposes                                         to purchase $10,000 worth of construction materials from a minority Supplier                                                   who did not manufacture the materials, $60,000 will be credited toward the                                                      Bidder’s minority participation goal.  However, where the minority Supplier is                                      the manufacturer of the product supplied, the Bidder will receive                                                                 MBE/WBE/VBE/DOBE credit of one hundred percent (100%) of the dollar                                                                amount of the supply contract.

1. The Owner may, at any time before or after award, require the Bidder/Contractor to submit   additional information to the owner regarding MBE, WBE, VBE, OR DOBE certification              and         utilization.  Such information may include but not be limited to: (i) Copies of all executed            agreements for each MBE/WBE/VBE/DOBE enterprise engaged to satisfy the participation           goals, showing (ii) the name and address of the MBE/WBE/VBE/DOBE, (iii) the scope of work     to be performed, (iv) the dollar value of work to be performed or furnished by each proposed                 MBE/WBE/VBE/DOBE   subcontractor or MBE/WBE/VBE/DOBE joint venture partner, (v) acknowledgment and acceptance of the agreement by the MBE/WBE/VBE/DOBE and    (vi)         monthly utilization payment reports with each monthly application for payment using the on-       line submittal process (MyLCM).
2. Failure to comply with the MBE/WBE/VBE/DOBE provisions of the contract may result in one or more of the following sanctions:  cancellation, terminator or suspension of any                contracts, or any portion(s) thereof, including but not limited to withholding any               progress payment or any other monies payable or due under the contract, and/or   inclusion on the Owner’s list of     contractors or vendors who are non-responsible due to                 MBE/WBE/VBE/DOBE violations, meaning Bidder would not be eligible to do work for the                Owner for a specified period

SECTION 3

The employment of individuals residing in the communities or neighborhoods in which the project is located is considered as integral part of the Section 3 requirement. Admissions(s) to apprenticeship programs may also be considered as a fulfillment of the Section 3 requirement.  The form and further information on Section 3 are available on IHA’s website.  Failure to complete and include this form will disqualify a Contractor’s response.

If Contractor violates this section, Owner shall require Contractor to remedy the violation not later than thirty (30) days after Owner notifies Contractor.  If Contractor fails to remedy the violation within the thirty (30) day period, Owner shall terminate the contract for breach of contract.  If Owner terminates the contract, Contractor shall, in addition to any other contractual remedies, be liable to Owner for actual damages.  There is a rebuttable presumption that Contractor did not knowingly employ an unauthorized alien if Contractor verified the work eligibility status of the employee through the Program.
• If Contractor employs or contracts with an unauthorized alien but Owner determines that terminating the contract would be detrimental to the public interest or public property, Owner may allow the contract to remain in effect until Owner procures a new contractor.
• Contractor shall, prior to performing any work, require each Subcontractor to certify to Contractor that the Subcontractor does not knowingly employ or contract with an unauthorized alien and has enrolled in the Program. Contractor shall maintain on file a certification from each Subcontractor throughout the duration of the Project.  If Contractor determines that a Subcontractor is in violation of this section, Contractor may terminate its contract with the Subcontractor for such violation.  Such termination may not be considered a breach of contract by Contractor or the Subcontractor.
