a) In making its recommendations, the selection committee may consider, among others:
b) For each project with an estimated basic services fee of $75,000 or more, the CDB Fair Employment Practices department will set goals for minority and female owned business enterprises. The goals for each project will be described in the CDB Professional Services Bulletin. The goals will be based on the availability of minority and female owned business enterprises in the area capable of doing the work. CDB may waive goals for a particular project if it determines that no minority and female owned business enterprises would be available to perform the type of work involved in the area of the project or if the work involved does not lend itself to the use of consultants. No A/E that fails to meet the goal shall be considered unless it provides sufficient evidence to CDB within 7 days after submitting its proposal that, after making a good faith effort, it was unable to find sufficient minority or female owned business enterprises willing and able to perform the work.
c) An A/E attempting to demonstrate that it made a good faith effort to meet minority and female business enterprise goals shall submit:
d) In determining if a firm has submitted sufficient evidence that it made a good faith effort to find sufficient minority or female owned business enterprises willing and able to perform the work, CDB shall consider:
e) In no case shall the committee, prior to selecting an A/E for negotiation, seek formal or informal submission of verbal or written estimates of costs or proposals in terms of dollars, hours required, percentage of construction cost, or any other measure of compensation.
