City of Irving M/WBE Program
It is City of Irving policy to provide equal opportunities for minority- and women-owned businesses (M/WBEs) in the city procurement process for all basic goods, professional services, construction and other solicitations. The City of Irving encourages the growth and development of M/WBEs that can successfully compete for contracting opportunities.
The Good Faith Effort (GFE) Plan establishes minimum subcontracting participation for all prospective bidders, proposers, and submitters to ensure a reasonable degree of MWBE participation in the City contracts.
The overall average goal is 26%, with specific goals as follows:
Construction – 30%
Architectural & Engineering – 28%
Professional Services – 33%
Other Services – 20%
Goods – 10%
Prospective bidders/proposers must make a good-faith effort to meet the established participation goals and document their good-faith effort to include minority—and women-owned businesses in the contract. Purchasing department staff will assist vendors with registration.
