Small/Minority/Woman-Owned Business Outreach and Compliance Reporting

The contract seeks to support the prime contractor in achieving UBE participation goals by facilitating outreach, engagement, and compliance with small, minority, and woman-owned business subcontracting requirements. The work involves identifying, vetting, and connecting with eligible businesses to ensure meaningful subcontracting opportunities are created and sustained throughout the project lifecycle. Comprehensive reporting and meticulous documentation of all subcontracting activities are mandatory to demonstrate adherence to diversity and inclusion benchmarks set forth by the Water Department of the City of San Bernardino. This subcontract opportunity is tied to NAICS code 541611 and is part of a broader initiative to promote equitable economic participation within public infrastructure or services projects. All efforts must align with the agency’s compliance framework, requiring timely and accurate reporting on subcontractor engagement, spend totals, and progress toward established UBE targets. Responses are due by July 24, 2026, and applicants must be prepared to provide detailed plans for outreach, tracking mechanisms, and proof of past performance in similar compliance-driven subcontracting environments. Participation requires a strong understanding of local and state regulations governing minority business development and the ability to maintain transparent, auditable records.
