Public Act 96-1064 - Business Enterprise Program mandates that each award by grant or loan of State funds of $250,000 or more for capital construction costs or professional services is conditioned upon the recipient's written certification that the recipient shall comply with the business enterprise program practices for minority-owned businesses, female-owned business, and businesses owned by persons with disabilities of the Business Enterprise for Minorities, Females and Persons with Disabilities Act (30 ILCS 575/0.01 et seq.) and the equal employment practices of Section 2-105 of the Illinois Human Rights Act (775 ILCS 5/2-105). Based on this information, an overall Business Enterprise Program (BEP) Goal of 14% has been determined with 7% of grant dollars going to minority-owned business enterprises (MBEs or WMBEs) and 7% of grant dollars going to women-owned business enterprises (WBEs or WMBEs). These utilization goals are based on the availability of State-certified vendors to perform the anticipated direct subcontracting opportunities of the Utilization Plan (UP). Illinois Works Jobs Program Act (30 ILCS 559/Art. 20) requires that for Awards with an estimated total project cost of $500,000 or more, the Grantee will be required to comply with the Illinois Works Apprenticeship Initiative (30 ILCS 559/20-20 to 20-25) and all applicable administrative rules (see 14 III. Admin. Code Part 680). The "estimated total project cost" is a good faith approximation of the costs of an entire project being paid for in whole or in part by appropriated capital funds to construct a public work. Grantee must submit a Budget Supplement Form (available on the DCEO website) to the Grantor within ninety (90) days of the execution of a Grant Award (Agreement). The goal of the Illinois Works Apprenticeship Initiative is that apprentices will perform either 10% of the total labor hours worked in each prevailing wage classification or 10% of the estimated labor hours in each prevailing wage classification, whichever is less. Grantee is permitted to seek from the Grantor a waiver or reduction of this goal in certain circumstances pursuant to 30 ILCS 559/20-20(b). The Grantee must ensure compliance for the life of the entire project, including during the term of the Award and after the Term ends, if applicable, and will be required to report on and certify its compliance. All bid proposals must be accompanied by a bid bond or bank cashier's check payable to the Village of Frankfort for ten percent (10%) of the amount of the bid as provided in the Instructions to Bidders. No proposals or bids will be considered unless accompanied by such bond or check. The Contractor selected will also be required to comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules, regulations and executive orders including but not limited to those pertaining to equal employment opportunity.
