contracts for fulfillment by EDGE certified companies must complete all sections of the Demonstration of Good Faith

form. The apparent low bidder shall thoroughly document its efforts to identify work for EDGE certified companies. The

shall submit a Request for Waiver on company letterhead.

The Apparent Low Bidder shall address the following in its Request for Waiver:

• Describe in overall terms the conditions that prevented the Apparent Low Bidder from providing 5% of the work on

the prime contract to EDGE certified companies,

• Identify what percentage of the work on the prime contract is suitable for performance by EDGE certified firms,

• Request the Contracting Authority to waive the 5% participation goal in part or in total.
