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. Specific diversity goals for each project are identified within the Bid Documents. The diversity baseline goals established for each campus follow: Division of Work - BEP Combined Goal(s) - BEP Split Goal(s) - VBP Goal(s) MBE/WBE PBE % - MBE % - WBE % - PBE% - VOSB or SDVOSB % 01 - General Work - 30 - N/A - N/A - N/A - 3 Diversity Goal Cure Period If the Bidder fails to meet the diversity goal at the time of bid submittal and provide both a completed utilization plan (Attachment B - Minority/Women Business Enterprise Program and Veteran Business 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/VBP 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 BEP/VBP 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 Compliance with 30 ILCS 500/15/25(a) The Owner encourages bidders to hire qualified individuals in accordance with 30 ILCS 500/15-25(a), including but not limited to veterans (as defined by 30 ILCS 500/45-67), minorities, women, and persons with disabilities.
