Joint VenturesThe formation of joint ventures to provide MBEs and WBEs with capacity and experience at the primecontracting level, and thereby meet Contract Specific Goals (in whole or in part) is encouraged. A jointventure may consist of any combination of MBEs, WBEs, and non-certified firms as long as one member is anMBE or WBE.

a. The joint venture may be eligible for credit towards the Contract Specific Goals only if:

i. The MBE or WBE joint venture partner’s share in the capital contribution, control,management, risks and profits of the joint venture is equal to its ownership interest;

ii. The MBE or WBE joint venture partner is responsible for a distinct, clearly definedportion of the requirements of the contract for which it is at risk;



iii. Each joint venture partner executes the bid to the City; and

iv. The joint venture partners have entered into a written agreement specifying the termsand conditions of the relationship between the partners and their relationship andresponsibilities to the contract, and all such terms and conditions are in accordance withthe conditions set forth in Items i, ii, and iii above in this Paragraph a.

b. The Chief Procurement Officer shall evaluate the proposed joint venture agreement, theSchedule B submitted on behalf of the proposed joint venture, and all related documents todetermine whether these requirements have been satisfied. The Chief Procurement Officer shallalso consider the record of the joint venture partners on other City of Chicago contracts. Thedecision of the Chief Procurement Officer regarding the eligibility of the joint venture for credittowards meeting the Contract Specific Goals, and the portion of those goals met by the jointventure, shall be final.

The joint venture may receive MBE or WBE credit for work performed by the MBE or WBE jointventure partner(s) equal to the value of work performed by the MBE or WBE with its own forcesfor a distinct, clearly defined portion of the work.

Additionally, if employees of the joint venture entity itself (as opposed to employees of the MBEor WBE partner) perform the work, then the value of the work may be counted toward theContract Specific Goals at a rate equal to the MBE or WBE firm’s percentage of participation inthe joint venture as described in Schedule B.

The Chief Procurement Officer may also count the dollar value of work subcontracted to otherMBEs and WBEs. Work performed by the forces of a non-certified joint venture partner shall notbe counted toward the Contract Specific Goals.

c. Schedule B: MBE/WBE Affidavit of Joint Venture

Where the bidder’s Compliance Plan includes the participation of any MBE or WBE as a jointventure partner, the bidder must submit with its bid a Schedule B and the proposed joint ventureagreement. These documents must both clearly evidence that the MBE or WBE joint venturepartner(s) will be responsible for a clearly defined portion of the work to be performed, and thatthe MBE’s or WBE’s responsibilities and risks are proportionate to its ownership percentage. Theproposed joint venture agreement must include specific details related to:

i. The parties’ contributions of capital, personnel, and equipment and share of the costs ofinsurance and bonding;

ii. Work items to be performed by the MBE’s or WBE’s own forces and/or work to beperformed by employees of the newly formed joint venture entity;

iii. Work items to be performed under the supervision of the MBE or WBE joint venturepartner; and

iv. The MBE’s or WBE’s commitment of management, supervisory, and operativepersonnel to the performance of the contract.

NOTE: Vague, general descriptions of the responsibilities of the MBE or WBE joint venture partner do notprovide any basis for awarding credit. For example, descriptions such as "participate in the budgetingprocess," "assist with hiring," or "work with managers to improve customer service" do not identify distinct,clearly defined portions of the work. Roles assigned should require activities that are performed on a regular,recurring basis rather than as needed. The roles must also be pertinent to the nature of the business forwhich credit is being sought. For instance, if the scope of work required by the City entails the delivery ofgoods or services to various sites in the City, stating that the MBE or WBE joint venture partner will beresponsible for the performance of all routine maintenance and all repairs required to the vehicles used todeliver such goods or services is pertinent to the nature of the business for which credit is being sought.



6.4. Counting MBE/WBE Participation Toward the Contract Specific GoalsRefer to this section when preparing the MBE/WBE compliance plan and completing Schedule D-1 forguidance on what value of the participation by MBEs and WBEs will be counted toward the stated ContractSpecific Goals. The "Percent Amount of Participation" depends on whether and with whom a MBE or WBEsubcontracts out any portion of its work and other factors.

Firms that are certified as both MBE and WBE may only be listed on a bidder’s compliance plan as either aMBE or a WBE to demonstrate compliance with the Contract Specific Goals. For example, a firm that iscertified as both a MBE and a WBE may only be listed on the bidder’s compliance plan under one of thecategories, but not both. Only Payments made to MBE and WBE firms that meet BOTH the CommerciallyUseful Function and Area of Specialty requirements above will be counted toward the Contract Specific Goals.

a. Only expenditures to firms that perform a Commercially Useful Function as defined above maycount toward the Contract Specific Goals.

i. The CPO will determine whether a firm is performing a commercially useful function byevaluating the amount of work subcontracted, whether the amount the firm is to bepaid under the contract is commensurate with the work it is actually performing and thecredit claimed for its performance of the work, industry practices, and other relevantfactors.

ii. A MBE or WBE does not perform a commercially useful function if its participation isonly required to receive payments in order to obtain the appearance of MBE or WBEparticipation. The CPO may examine similar commercial transactions, particularly thosein which MBEs or WBEs do not participate, to determine whether non MBE and nonWBE firms perform the same function in the marketplace to make a determination.

iii. Indications that a subcontractor is not performing a commercially useful functioninclude, but are not limited to, labor shifting and equipment sharing or leasingarrangements with the prime contractor or a first tier subcontractor.

b. Only the value of the dollars paid to the MBE or WBE firm for work that it performs in its Area ofSpecialty in which it is certified counts toward the Contract Specific Goals.

c. For maintenance, installation, repairs or inspection, or professional services, if the MBE or WBEperforms the work itself: 100% of the value of work actually performed by the MBE’s or WBE’sown forces shall be counted toward the Contract Specific Goals, including the cost of suppliesand materials purchased or equipment leased by the MBE or WBE from third parties or secondtier subcontractors in order to perform its (sub)contract with its own forces (except supplies andequipment the MBE or WBE subcontractor purchases or leases from the prime contractor or itsaffiliate). 0% of the value of work at the project site that a MBE or WBE subcontracts to a non-certified firm counts toward the Contract Specific Goals.

d. If the MBE or WBE is a manufacturer: 100% of expenditures to a MBE or WBE manufacturer foritems needed for the Contract shall be counted toward the Contract Specific Goals. Amanufacturer is a firm that operates or maintains a factory or establishment that produces onthe premises the materials or supplies obtained by the bidder or contractor.

e. If the MBE or WBE is a distributor or supplier: 60% of expenditures for materials and suppliespurchased from a MBE or WBE that is certified as a regular dealer or supplier shall be countedtoward the Contract Specific Goals.

f. If the MBE or WBE is a broker:

i. Zero percent (0%) of expenditures paid to brokers will be counted toward the ContractSpecific Goals.

ii. As defined above, Brokers provide no commercially useful function.



g. If the MBE or WBE is a member of the joint venture contractor/bidder:

i. A joint venture may count the portion of the total dollar value of the contract equal tothe distinct, clearly defined portion of the work of the contract that the MBE or WBEperforms with its own forces toward the Contract Specific Goals; or

ii. If employees of this distinct joint venture entity perform the work then the value of thework may be counted toward the Contract Specific Goals at a rate equal to the MBE orWBE firm’s percentage of participation in the joint venture as described in the ScheduleB.

iii. A joint venture may also count the dollar value of work subcontracted to other MBEsand WBEs.

h. If the MBE or WBE subcontracts out any of its work:

i. 100% of the value of the work subcontracted to other MBEs or WBEs performing workin its Area of Specialty may be counted toward the Contract Specific Goals.

ii. 0% of the value of work that a MBE or WBE subcontracts to a non-certified firm countstoward the Contract Specific Goals (except as allowed by (c) above).

iii. The fees or commissions charged for providing a bona fide service, such as professional,technical, consulting or managerial services or for providing bonds or insurance andassistance in the procurement of essential personnel, facilities, equipment, materials orsupplies required for performance of the Contract, provided that the fee or commissionis determined by the Chief Procurement Officer to be reasonable and not excessive ascompared with fees customarily allowed for similar services.

iv. The fees charged for delivery of materials and supplies required on a job site (but notthe cost of the materials and supplies themselves) when the hauler, trucker, or deliveryservice is not also the manufacturer of or a regular dealer in the materials and supplies,provided that the fee is determined by the Chief Procurement Officer to be reasonableand not excessive as compared with fees customarily allowed for similar services.

v. The fees or commissions charged for providing any bonds or insurance, but not the costof the premium itself, specifically required for the performance of the Contract,provided that the fee or commission is determined by the Chief Procurement Officer tobe reasonable and not excessive as compared with fees customarily allowed for similarservices.

6.5. Regulations Governing Reductions to or Waiver of MBE/WBE GoalsThe following Regulations set forth the standards to be used in determining whether or not a reduction orwaiver of the MBE/WBE commitment goals of a particular contract is appropriate. If a bidder determines thatit is unable to meet the MBE and/or WBE Contract-Specific Goals on a City of Chicago contract, a writtenrequest for the reduction or waiver of the commitment must be included in the bid or proposal.

The written request for reduction or waiver from the commitment must be in the form of a signed petition forgrant of relief from the MBE/WBE percentages submitted on the bidder's letterhead, and must demonstratethat all required efforts as set forth in this document were taken to secure eligible Minority and WomenBusiness Enterprises to meet the commitments. The Chief Procurement Officer or designee shall determinewhether the request for the reduction or waiver will be granted.

A bidder will be considered responsive to the terms and conditions of these Regulations if, at the time of bid, itsubmits a waiver request and all supporting documentation that adequately addresses the conditions forwaiver of MBE/WBE goals, including proof of notification to assist agencies except:

Bidders responding to Request for Proposals (RFPs) who have been identified as a short listedcandidate and/or a prospective awardee will be given a designated time allowance, but no more than



fourteen (14) calendar days to submit to the Department of Procurement Services completedocumentation that adequately addresses the conditions for waiver described herein; and

Bidders responding to Request for Information and or Qualifications (RFI/RFQs) deemed by the ChiefProcurement Officer or authorized designee to be the most responsive and responsible shall submitdocumentation that adequately addresses the conditions for waiver described herein duringnegotiations.

Failure to submit documentation sufficient to support the waiver request will cause the bid/proposal to befound non-responsive by the Chief Procurement Officer, and the bid/proposal will be rejected. In such casesthe remedies to be taken by the Chief Procurement Officer, in his or her discretion, may include, but are notlimited to, forfeiture of bid deposit; negotiating with the next lowest bidder; or re-advertising thebid/proposal. All bidders must submit all required documents at the time of bid opening to expedite thecontract award.

6.5.1. Direct / Indirect ParticipationEach of the following elements must be present in order to determine whether or not such a reduction orwaiver is appropriate.

a. The bidder has documented the unsuccessful solicitation for either subcontractors or jointventure partners of at least 50% (or at least five when there are more than eleven certified firmsin the commodity area) of the appropriate certified MBE/WBE firms to perform any direct orindirect work identified or related to the advertised bid/proposal. Documentation must includebut is not necessarily limited to:

1. A detailed statement of efforts to identify and select portions of workidentified in the bid solicitation for subcontracting to certified MBE/WBE firms;

2. A listing of all MBE/WBE firms contacted that includes:

o Name, address, telephone number and email of MBE/WBE firmssolicited;

o Date and time of contact;

o Method of contact (written, telephone, transmittal of facsimiledocuments, email, etc.)

3. Copies of letters or any other evidence of mailing that substantiates outreachto MBE/WBE vendors that includes:

o Project identification and location;

o Classification/commodity of work items for which quotations weresought;

o Date, item and location for acceptance of subcontractor bid proposals;

o Detailed statement which summarizes direct negotiations withappropriate MBE/WBE firms for specific portions of the work andindicates why negotiations were unsuccessful;

o Affirmation that Good Faith Efforts have been demonstrated by:

choosing subcontracting opportunities likely to achieveMBE/WBE goals;

not imposing any limiting conditions which were notmandatory for all subcontractors;



providing notice of subcontracting opportunities to M/WBEfirms and assist agencies at least five (5) business days inadvance of the initial bid due date.

OR

b. Subcontractor participation will be deemed excessively costly when the MBE/WBE subcontractorproposal exceeds the average price quoted by more than twenty percent (20%). In order toestablish that a subcontractor’s quote is excessively costly, the bidder must provide the followinginformation:

1. A detailed statement of the work identified for MBE/WBE participation for which thebidder asserts the MBE/WBE quote(s) were excessively costly (in excess of 20% higher).

o A listing of all potential subcontractors contacted for a quotation on that work item;

o Prices quoted for the subcontract in question by all such potential subcontractorsfor that work item.

2. Other documentation which demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Chief ProcurementOfficer that the MBE/WBE proposals are excessively costly, even though not in excess of20% higher than the average price quoted. This determination will be based on factorsthat include, but are not limited to the following:

o The City's estimate for the work under a specific subcontract;

o The bidder’s own estimate for the work under the subcontract;

o An average of the bona fide prices quoted for the subcontract;

o Demonstrated increase in other contract costs as a result of subcontracting to theM/WBE or other firm.

6.5.2. Assist Agency Participation in wavier/reduction requestsEvery waiver and/or reduction request must include evidence that the bidder has provided timely noticeof the need for subcontractors to an appropriate association/assist agency representative of theMBE/WBE business community. This notice must be given at least five (5) business days in advance of theinitial bid due date.

The notice requirement of this Section will be satisfied if a bidder contacts at least one of the associationson Attachment A to these Regulations when the prime contractor seeks a waiver or reduction in theutilization goals. Attachment B to these Regulations provides the letter format that a prime contractormay use. Proof of notification prior to bid submittal (e.g. certified mail receipt or facsimile transmittalreceipt) will be required to be submitted with the bid for any bid/proposal to be deemed responsive. Ifdeemed appropriate, the Contract Compliance Officer may contact the assist agency for verification ofnotification.

6.5.3. ImpracticabilityIf the Chief Procurement Officer determines that a lesser MBE and/or WBE percentage standard isappropriate with respect to a particular contract subject to competitive bidding prior to the bidsolicitations for such contract, bid specifications shall include a statement of such revised standard.

The requirements set forth in these Regulations (this subsection 6.5 "Regulations Governing Reductionsto or Waiver of MBE/WBE Goals") shall not apply where the Chief Procurement Officer determines priorto the bid solicitations that MBE/WBE subcontractor participation is impracticable.



This may occur whenever the Chief Procurement Officer determines that for reasons of time, need,industry practices or standards not previously known by the Chief Procurement Officer, or such otherextreme circumstances as may be deemed appropriate, such a Waiver is in the best interests of the City.This determination may be made in connection with a particular contract, whether before the contract islet for bid, during the bid or award process, before or during negotiation of the contract, or during theperformance of the contract.

For all notifications required to be made by bidders, in situations where the Chief Procurement Officer hasdetermined that time is of the essence, documented telephone contact may be substituted for lettercontact.

6.6. Procedure to Determine Bid ComplianceA bid may be rejected as non-responsive if it fails to submit one or more of the following with its biddemonstrating its Good Faith Efforts to meet the Contract Specific Goals by reaching out to MBEs and WBEs toperform work on the contract:

8.7. EDS Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Where do I file?

A: The web link for the Online EDS is https://webapps.cityofchicago.org/EDSWeb

Q: How do I get help?

A: If there is a question mark on a page or next to a field, click on the question mark for help filling out the page or field. Youmay also consult the User Manual and the Training Videos available on the left menu.

Q: Why do I have to submit an EDS?

A: The Economic Disclosure Statement (EDS) is required of applicants making an application to the City for action requiringCity Council, City department or other City agency approval. For example, all bidders seeking a City contract are required tosubmit an EDS. Through the EDS, applicants make disclosures required by State law and City ordinances and certify compliancewith various laws and ordinances. An EDS is also required of certain parties related to the applicant, such as owners andcontrolling parties.

Q: Who is the Applicant?

A: “Applicant” means any entity or person making an application to the City for action requiring City Council or other Cityagency approval. The applicant does not include owners and parent companies.

Q: Who is the Disclosing Party?

A: “Disclosing Party” means any entity or person submitting an EDS. This includes owners and parent companies.

Q: What is an entity or legal entity?

A: “Entity’ or ‘Legal Entity” means a legal entity (for example, a corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liabilitycompany or trust).

Q: What is a person for purposes of the EDS?

A: “Person” means a human being.

Q: Who must submit an EDS?

A. An EDS must be submitted in any of the following three circumstances:

Applicants: An Applicant must always file this EDS. If the Applicant is a legal entity, state the full name of that legalentity. If the Applicant is a person acting on his/her own behalf, state his/her name.

Entities holding an interest: Whenever a legal entity has a beneficial interest (E. G. direct or indirect ownership) ofmore than 7.5% in the Applicant, each such legal entity must file an EDS on its own behalf.

Controlling entities: Whenever a Disclosing Party is a general partnership, limited partnership, limited liabilitycompany, limited liability partnership or joint venture that has a general partner, managing member, manager or other



entity that can control the day-to-day management of the Disclosing Party, that entity must also file an EDS on its ownbehalf. Each entity with a beneficial interest of more than 7.5% in the controlling entity must also file an EDS on its ownbehalf.

Q: What information is needed to submit an EDS?

A: The information contained in the Preparation Checklist for EDS submission.

Q: I don’t have a user ID & password. Can I still submit an Online EDS?

A: No. You must register and create a user ID and password before submitting an Online EDS.

Q: What information is needed to request a user ID & password for Online EDS?

A: The information contained in the Preparation Checklist for Registration is needed to request a login for the Online EDS.

Q: I already have a username and password from another City web site (City Web Portal, Department of Construction andPermits, Department of Consumer Services, etc.). Can I log-in the Online EDS with that account?

A: Usually not. The Online EDS uses a user ID and password system that is shared by the Public Vehicle Advertising and WaterPayment web sites. You may use a username and password from those sites by answering “Yes” to “Is this an existing City ofChicago user ID?” when registering. Other usernames and passwords will not be automatically recognized. However, you maychoose to create an identical username for the Online EDS if it is not already taken.

Q: I don’t have an email address. How do I submit an Online EDS?

A: You cannot get an account to submit an online EDS without an email address. If you need an e-mail address, we suggestthat you use a free internet email provider such as www.hotmail.com, www.yahoo.com or rnail.google.com to open an account.The City does not endorse any particular free internet email provider. Public computers are available at all Chicago PublicLibrary branches.

Q: I forgot my user ID. Can I register again?

A: No. If you are the EDS Captain of your organization, please contact the Department of Procurement Services at 312-744-4900. If you are an EDS team member, contact your EDS Captain, who can look up your user ID.

Q: Who is the EDS Captain?

A: The EDS Captain is a person who performs certain administrative functions for an organization which files an EDS. Eachorganization registered with the Online EDS has at least one EDS Captain. There may be co-captains, who are all equal. EDSCaptains approve new users, change contact information for an organization and de-active accounts of employees who have leftthe organization. Please see the User Manual for more information.

Q: Why do we need EDS Captains?

A: The Online EDS is designed to be a self-service web application which allows those doing or seeking to do business with theCity to perform as many routine functions as possible without City intervention. Because many organizations have multiple stafffiling an EDS, the EDS Captain role allows those organizations to self-manage the contact information and users.



Q: Who is the EDS team?

A: The EDS team for an organization is everyone who is registered to file an EDS on behalf of the organization.

Q: I forgot my password. What should I do?

A: To retrieve a temporary password, click the “Forgot your password?” link on the login page. Enter your user ID that youprovided when you registered your account. The system will automatically generate a temporary password and send it to you.When you log-in with your temporary password, you will be asked to create a new password.

Q: How do I complete an Online EDS?

A: Click on “Create New” after logging in. The Online EDS system will walk you through the EDS questions. Please see the UserManual for details.

Q: How do I fill out a Disclosure of Retained Parties?

A: There is no longer a separate Disclosure of Retained Parties filing. After logging in, click on “Create New”. Answer (click)“Contract” to “Is this EDS for a contract or an EDS information update?” Click “Fill out EDS” and click on the “Retained Parties”tab. When finished, click on “Ready to Submit”.

Q: How do I attach documents?

A: Attachments are discouraged. If at all possible, please provide a concise explanation in the space provided in the onlineform. Attachments with pages of officers are not acceptable. Names of officers must be typed into the system. If you mustprovide an attachment for another reason, please send it to your City of Chicago contact (contract administrator or negotiatorfor procurements) and they will attach it for you. Documents can be sent in PDF (preferred), Word or paper format.

Q: Who can complete an Economic Disclosure Statement online?

A: Any authorized representative of your business with a user ID and password can complete your EDS online. One person,such as an assistant, can fill in the information and save it and another person can review and electronically sign the Online EDS.

Q: What are the benefits of filing my Economic Disclosure statement electronically?

A: Filing electronically reduces the chance of filing an incomplete EDS and speeds up the processing of contract awards. Acertificate of filing can be printed at the completion of the process and inserted into your bid package. The biggest benefit forthose who frequently do business with the City is that after the first EDS, each EDS is much easier to fill out because non-contract specific information is pre-filled from the last submitted EDS.

Q: Will my information be secure?

A: Yes. When making your internet connection to our Web Server, you will connect through a Secure Socket Layer (SSL forshort) to the “Online EDS” login page. All information you type will be protected using strong encryption. Within the login page,you will provide us with a user ID, password and secret question for user authentication, only you will have knowledge of thisunique identification information.

Q: I am filing electronically. How do I sign my EDS?



A: Once you have completed the EDS, you will be prompted to enter your password and answer to your secret question.Together, these will serve as your electronic signature. Although you will also print and physically sign an EDS certification offiling as a notice that your EDS was filed, your EDS is complete as a legal document with only the electronic filing.

Q: My address has changed. How can I update my information?

A: You must be an EDS Captain for your organization to update this. Log-in and click on “Vendor Admin, Site Administration”.Select the appropriate site and click edit.

Q: I have more questions. How can I contact the Department of Procurement Services?

A: Please contact the contract administrator or negotiator assigned to your solicitation or contract. You may call DPS at 312-744-4900 between 8:30 AM and 5:00 PM Central Time.

Q: Can I save a partially complete EDS?

A: Yes. Click “Save”. To avoid data loss, we recommend you save your work periodically while filling out your EDS.

Q: Do I have to re-type my information each time I submit an EDS?

A: No. The system will remember non-contract specific information from your last submitted EDS for one year. Thisinformation will be filled-in for you in your new EDS. You will have an opportunity to correct it if it has changed since your lastfiling. When you submit your new EDS, the information is saved and the one-year clock begins running anew.

Q: What are the system requirements to use the Online EDS?

A: The following are minimum requirements to use the Online EDS:

• A PDF viewer such as Adobe Reader is installed and your web browser is configured to display PDFs automatically.You may download and install Adobe Reader free at www.adobe.comlproducts/reader/

• Your web browser is set to permit running of JavaScript.

• Your monitor resolution is set to a minimum of 1024 x 768.

• While not required to submit an EDS, if you wish to view the training videos, you must have Adobe Flash Pluginversion 9 or higher, speakers and sound. Please note that very old computers may not be able to run Adobe Flash and willnot be able to play the training videos. In that case, we encourage you to seek help using the Online EDS Manuals. You maydownload and install Adobe Flash Plugin free at htty://get.adobe.comiflashplayer

The Online EDS has been tested on Internet Explorer 6.0, 7.0, Firefox 2.0 and 3.0 on Windows XP and Mac OS X. Although itshould work on other browsers and operating systems, the City of Chicago cannot guarantee compatibility.
