MWBE Participation:
The advertised M/WBE contract goals for this project were 28.0% MBE and 10.0% WBE. The M/WBE goals approved for this project were 28.0% MBE and 10.0% WBE. According to the Office of Business Opportunity, the actual participation achieved on this project was 32.04% MBE, 7.44% WBE, and 7.00% SBE. The M/WBE performance on this project was rated Satisfactory with Good Faith Efforts for the following reasons: the MBE goal was achieved; however, the project fell short of the 10% WBE goal. With the addition of 4.0% SBE goal credit, the WBE goal was achieved. J.E. Dunn was able to meet the M/WBE goals and utilize all goal credit contractors to the extent possible. For the reasons listed, the MWSBE performance meets the good faith efforts requirements mandated by the City's MWSBE Program.
