The contractor or suppliers who provide materials, supplies, equipment, and/or services for this project shall attempt to achieve a minimum 15 percent of the total dollar value, from maryland department of transportation certified minority business enterprises and the balance from all certified minority business enterprises. All general contractors and subcontractors including certified mbe firms, when bidding as general or prime contractors, are required to attempt to achieve the mbe subcontracting goals from certified mbe firms approved by the maryland department of transportation (mdot)." mbe prime contractors may count their participation on contracts with mbe goals for up to 50% of the established mbe contract goal and 100% of any one contract sub-goal. Mbe primes are still required to follow the good faith effort requirements forthe portion of the contract goal they are no self-performing and are subject to all other mbe contract compliance requirements. This contract requires the contractor to make good faith efforts to comply with the minority business enterprise ("Mbe") and contract provisions. Aacps and the contractor acknowledge and agree that aacps will incur damages, including but not limited to loss of goodwill, detrimental impact on economic development, and diversion of internal staff resources, if the contractor does not make good faith efforts to comply with the requirements of the mbe contract provisions. The parties further acknowledge and agree that the damages that aacps might reasonably be anticipated to accrue as a result of such lack of compliance are difficult to ascertain with precision. Therefore, upon a determination by aacps that the contractor failed to make good faith efforts to comply with one or more of the specified mbe program requirements or contract provisions, the contractor agrees to pay liquidated damages to aacps at the rates set forth below. The contractor expressly agrees that aacps may withhold payment on any invoices as a set-off against liquidated damages owed. The contractor further agrees that for each specified violation, the agreed upon liquidated damages are reasonably proximate to the loss aacps is anticipated to incur as a result of such violation. A) failure to submit each monthly payment report in full compliance with comar 21.11.03.13b (3): $100.00 per day until the monthly report is submitted as required. A. This may be exacerbated by contractor's failure to include in its agreements with mbe subcontractors a provision requiring submission of payment reports in full compliance with comar 21.11.03.13b (4). B) failure to comply with comar 21.11.03.12 in terminating, canceling, or changing the scope of work/value of a contract with an mbe subcontractor and/or amendment of the mbe participation schedule: $100.00 per day until the approved consent from the aacps mbe liaison is approved as required. C) in the absence of the approved consent of the aacps mbe liaison in "B" above, failure to meet the contractor's total mbe participation goal and sub-goal commitments: the difference between the dollar. Value of the total mbe participation commitment on the mbe participation schedule and the mbe participation achieved. D) failure to promptly pay all undisputed amounts to an mbe subcontractor in full compliance with the prompt payment provisions of this contract $100.00 per day until the undisputed amount due to the mbe subcontractor is paid.
