Exhibit B
SPORTS & EXHIBITION AUTHORITY OF PITTSBURGH
AND ALLEGHENY COUNTY
Minority and Women Business Enterprise Participation
The Authority requires that all contractors and subcontractors1 shall demonstrate a good
faith effort to obtain the participation of Minority and Women Business Enterprises in
work to be performed for the Authority. It is the goal of the Authority that twenty-five
percent (25%) of the contract amount be expended for participation by Minority Business
Enterprises and ten percent (10%) of the contract amount be expended for participation
by Women Business Enterprises. The Minority and Women Business Enterprise
participation of the contract shall be subject to the review of the Equal Opportunity
Review Commission of Pittsburgh.
"Minority Business Enterprise" (MBE) and "Women Business Enterprise" (WBE) means
businesses certified with a PAUCP (Pennsylvania Unified Certification Program)
certification, SBA certification, and the Department of General Services PA Small
Diverse Business Program. Sports & Exhibition Authority (SEA) does not accept self-
certification. Any out of state or other type of certification can be submitted with your
paperwork. It will be reviewed to see if we can accept the certification. The MBE/WBE
must be certified for the specific scope of work it will be responsible for in connection
with the contract. The certification must be current throughout the time the MBE/WBE
will be doing work under the contract.
The bidder/proposer must demonstrate to the Authority that it has made a diligent good
faith effort to meet the Authority's goals for MBE and WBE participation in the contract
work.
MBE and WBE participation may be achieved by any combination of the following:
a. Direct (prime) contract with MBE or WBE. If the direct (prime) contractor is an
MBE or WBE, participation shall be the full amount of the contract.
b. Subcontract for work on the project. If work is subcontracted to Minority and/or
Women Business Enterprises, participation for this element shall be the total
amount of subcontracts with MBE/WBEs for work on the project.
c. It is the intent of the SEA, for all qualified MBE/WBE companies to have an
opportunity on this project in some capacity. Subcontractors who "sub out" more
than 50% of the work assigned will only receive credit for the amount of work
self-performed.
1 "Contractor" refers to the contractor under a construction contract or service contract.
Rev 8.24.2015

d. Supply contracts for the project. If materials are purchased from Minority and/or
Women Business Enterprises, participation for this element shall be 2% of the
amount of the purchase order unless evidence acceptable to the Authority is
submitted that the broker or supplier is acting as a "full service supplier" on this
job and in such case the credit shall be 60% of the dollar value of the purchase
order. Evidence to be submitted to qualify as a "full service supplier" should
include warehouse or storage capacity, inventory records, agreements with
manufacturers, ownership of material handling or delivery equipment and
demonstration of fiscal responsibility on previous sales.
Whether the contractor undertook the following actions, among others, will be considered
in determining if a good faith effort to obtain participation has been made:
i) attended pre-bid/pre-proposal meetings to inform MBE/WBE's of
subcontracting opportunities,
ii) advertised in general, trade, and minority focused media,
iii) provided timely written notice to a reasonable number of MBE/WBE's,
iv) followed up the initial solicitations by contracting MBE/WBE's to
determine interest,
v) selected or reduced the size of specific contract parts to facilitate
MBE/WBE participation,
vi) provided interested MBE/WBE's with plans, specifications, and contract
requirements,
vii) negotiated in good faith with interested MBE/WBE's,
viii) made efforts to provide bonding, line of credit, or insurance assistance to
interested MBE/WBE's,
ix) utilized the services of available minority community organizations and
other organizations that provide assistance in the recruitment and
placement of MBE/WBE's,
x) utilized the services of the office of the Equal Opportunity Review
xi) Commission of Pittsburgh to provide assistance in the recruitment and
placement of MBE/WBE's.
Documentation in the form of letters, meeting notes, copies of advertisements, etc. will
be required to confirm these efforts.
Attention is directed to the following:
a. The bidder/proposer must submit with the bid/proposal the "Certificate of
Minority and Women's Business Enterprise Participation" form attached hereto as
Attachment A (including Schedule A), properly filled out and signed in ink.
Failure to submit this signed certification as part of the bid/proposal is grounds for
rejection of the bid/proposal.
Rev 8.24.2015

b. Prior to award of the contract but within 24 hours of being notified that it is the
apparent successful bidder/proposer, the chosen contractor shall submit to the
Authority its participation plan (the Minority and Women's Participation Plan), in
the form of Attachment B hereto. The chosen contractor shall meet with the
Authority to discuss the implementation of the plan. The chosen contractor's
Minority and Women's Participation Plan must be approved by the Authority
before the contract is awarded. Implementation of the approved plan shall be a
contract obligation.
c. During the course of construction (or performance of services under a service
contractor), the contractor shall submit monthly reports on the form attached
hereto as Attachment C detailing MBE/WBE participation in the contract
compared with the approved plan. Prior approval by the Authority will be
required for any change in the Minority and Women's Participation Plan. The
contractor's compliance with the approved Minority and Women's Participation
Plan shall be monitored by the Authority. The Authority may consider failure of
the contractor to make a good faith effort to fulfill its obligations with respect to
its Minority and Women's Participation Plan during the term of the contract as a
material breach of the contract.
