Bid Acceptance or Rejection The Owner reserves the right to reject any or all bids or any part thereof, to waive any informalities in the bidding, and to accept the bids deemed to be in the best interests of the Owner after all bids have been examined and evaluated. Alternates, if considered, will be accepted in any order as determined by the Owner. Form approved by Legal Counsel - UOCP&RES 11/20 BEP Business Enterprise Goals The University of Illinois has established diversity goals for participation by BEP certified vendors as prime contractors, subcontractors, or suppliers in accordance with the Business Enterprise for Minorities, Women, and Persons with Disability Act. Please refer to Bid Form Document 00 40 00 for additional information and instruction. Illinois Department of Central Management Services Business Enterprise Program certification is the basis for determination of diversity status. Only those vendors who are certified by the Illinois Department of Central Management Services as of the final day of the bid opening Cure Period will be considered in determining whether the vendor meets the participation goal. Diversity goals are for each division of work and may vary by project. If the Bidder fails to meet the diversity goal at the time of bid submittal and provide both a completed utilization plan (Attachment B - Business Enterprise Program Utilization Plan of bid form 00 40 00) and satisfactory good faith efforts documentation to date, they are granted a cure period of ten (10) calendar days, after Owner notifies Bidder of the deficiency, to meet the goal. Whenever BEP utilization on Attachment B is less than the specified goal and no good faith documentation is included, the bidder will be deemed non-responsive and the bid will be rejected as a material condition. By the end of the cure period, Bidder shall submit an updated utilization plan and updated documentation of their good faith efforts to achieve the diversity goals, if the goals are not met. Failure to submit such documentation or to use good faith efforts, shall result in rejection of the bid. Good faith effort documentation is not required when diversity goals have been met. Bidders are required to use any and all good faith efforts to meet the diversity goal prior to the time of bid submittal. Bid submittals that do not meet the goal in its entirety must include submission of good faith efforts documentation, including bidders pricing for each diverse subcontractor identified, at the time of bid submittal. These efforts should demonstrate that every attempt to negotiate and secure diverse business participation was made prior to the bid. Bids with zero or low levels of participation at the time of bid may be determined to have not demonstrated good faith efforts and may be found non-responsive. Bidders that fall short of meeting the goal and demonstrate acceptable good faith efforts at the time of bid submittal will be considered with the additional efforts achieved within the 10 day cure period.
