October 1, 2018 Good Faith Effort Plan (GFEP) FAQs Page 6 Q: Is the 20% SMWVB goal mandatory? A: No, but we ask prime consultants to do their best with good faith outreach efforts. If the goal is not met, proof of outreach efforts is required with the submittal. Q: What if I am having trouble finding SMWVB subconsultants? A: Please email the SMWVB Program Manager with the scopes of work you are seeking. You will receive lists of local SMWVB-certified firms to contact. Q: What if my business is SMWVB-certified? Do I need to find SMWVB subs? A: If your firm is SMWVB-certified, you will most likely meet the goal. However, the GFEP is a required document, and a good faith outreach effort is still necessary. Q: What if I have questions about the GFEP? A: Please contact the SMWVB Program Manager at 210-233-3420, or at Marisol.Robles@saws.org. GFEP questions can be asked at any time before the submittal is due. Green Mountain Pump Station Facility
