To ensure that the City’s Business Enterprise Program benefits only those firms thatare owned and controlled by a minority person(s), a woman (women),a person(s)with a disability, or a small business enterprise, the Office of Business Opportunitywill certify the eligibility of MWSBE and PDBE Contractors, Subcontractors, andSuppliers. Contact the Office of Business Opportunity Certification Section at 832-393-0600 for information regarding certification.2. The Office of Business Opportunity maintains a Certified Minority, Women and SmallBusiness Enterprises and Disabilities Business Enterprises Directory on the City’swebsite. This Directory also lists federally-designated Disadvantaged BusinessEnterprises (DBEs).NOTE: MWSBE firms, even if certified by another agency, may not qualify forContract Goals unless certified by the Office of Business Opportunity prior toacceptance of the Participation Plan.G. DETERMINATION OF MWSBE PARTICIPATIONMWSBE participation shall be counted toward meeting the Contract Goals in response tothe following:1. Once a firm is certified as a MWSBE firm, the total dollar value of the subcontractawarded to the MWSBE firm is counted toward the Contract Goals (See SectionsIII.G.4 and III.G.5 below). Safety and Participation goals do not count as a singlegoal concerning MWSBE/DBE requirements.2. When the Contractor or Subcontractor is in a joint venture with one or more MWSBEfirms, the OBO Director shall determine the percent of participation resulting fromsuch joint venture to be counted toward the Contract Goals.3. Contractor may count toward its Contract Goals only those MWSBE Subcontractors/Suppliers performing a Commercially Usefully Function.a. COMMERCIALLY USEFUL FUNCTION means a discrete task or group oftasks, the responsibility for performance of which shall be discharged by theMWSBE firm by using its own forces or by actively supervising on-site theexecution of the tasks by another entity for whose work the MWSBE firm isresponsible. In determining whether a certified firm is performing acommercially useful function, factors including but not limited to the followingshall be considered: (1) whether the firm has the skill and expertise toperform the work for which it is being utilized and possesses all necessarylicenses; (2) whether the firm is in the business of performing, managing, or00808-508-01-2013

Without limiting thegenerality of the foregoing, a MWSBE will not be considered to be performinga commercially useful function, if it subcontracts to non-MWSBE firms or toother MWSBE firms, more than 50 percent of a contract being countedtoward the applicable Contract Goals, unless such subcontracting in excessof 50 percent has been expressly approved by the OBO Director in a Goal orPlan Deviation Request (Document 00472 or Document 00572) (either prebidor post award).b. The OBO Director shall approve a Plan Deviation Request if the Contractordemonstrates that the industry standard for the type of work involved is tosubcontract over 50 percent of the work.4. A MWSBE firm cannot subcontract more than 50 percent of the work for which it isresponsible to perform unless the OBO Director grants a Deviation Approval.5. The Contractor may count 100 percent of MWSBE Manufacturer Supplier’sparticipation and 60 percent of MWSBE Non-Manufacturer Supplier’s participationtoward its Contract Goals. Such MWSBE Supplier contracts shall not exceed 50percent of contract’s goals.6.
