Page | 3
Diverse Business Inclusion shall mean each Project Contractor’s Best and Good Faith Efforts to provide
meaningful and representative opportunities for Minority Business Enterprises (“MBEs”) and Woman
Business Enterprises (“WBEs”) (collectively, “M/WBEs”). As a benchmark for the Project Contractor’s
expression of its Best and Good Faith Efforts to provide meaningful and representative opportunities for
M/WBEs the Project, the following contract participation ranges have been developed. These contract
participation ranges represent, in the absence of discrimination in the solicitation and selection of
M/WBEs, the percentage of M/WBE participation that would be reasonably attainable on this Project
through the exercise of the Project Contractor’s Best and Good Faith Efforts:
Contract/Workforce Participation Goals
Contract Category
Certification Type
Goal
1.a.
Professional Services MBE
25-30%
1.b.
Professional Services WBE
15-20%
2.a.
Construction
MBE
30-35%
2.b.
Construction
WBE
15-20%
For purposes of calculating contract participation:
• In order to maximize opportunities for as many businesses as possible, a business that is
certified in two or more categories (e.g., MBE and WBE) will only be credited toward one
participation range as either an MBE or WBE. The business will not be credited toward more
than one category.
• In addition to certification, businesses must be registered with the City of Philadelphia’s Office
of Economic Opportunity (“OEO”) as MBE and/or WBE in order to count toward contract
participation goals for Diverse Business Inclusion. Visit phila.mwdsbe.com for more information.
• Only first and second-tier vendors will be included in the contract participation calculation. See
