NOTICE TO BIDDERS

PUBLIC NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that sealed bids will be received by the City of Bayonne for the Avenue F Sewer Replacement Project for the City of Bayonne, Hudson County, New Jersey.

ENGAGEMENT OF DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISES 
Project sponsors are required to make the following good faith efforts to engage disadvantaged business enterprises (DBEs) in New Jersey Water Bank projects whenever procuring construction, equipment, services, and supplies under an EPA financial assistance agreement 40 CFR Part 33 Subpart C.

The six good faith efforts required for DBE engagement are: 

1. Ensure DBEs are made aware of contracting opportunities to the fullest extent practicable through outreach and recruitment activities.
    
2. Make information on forthcoming opportunities available to DBEs, arrange time frames for contracts, and establish delivery schedules, where the requirements permit, in a way that encourages and facilitates participation by DBEs in the competitive process. This includes, whenever possible, posting solicitations for bids or proposals for a minimum of 30 calendar days before the bid or proposal closing date.
    
3. Consider in the contracting process whether firms competing for large contracts could subcontract with DBEs. This will include dividing total requirements when economically feasible into smaller tasks or quantities to permit maximum participation by DBEs in the competitive process. 
    
4. Encourage contracting with a consortium of DBEs when a contract is too large for one of these firms to handle individually. 
    
5. Use the services and assistance of organizations and agencies. 
    
6. If the contractor awards subcontracts, require the contractor to take the steps in items 1 through 5.
