Sec. 126.623. - Counting subcontracting participation of JSEBs.

(a) The entire amount of that portion of a construction subcontract that is performed by the JSEB's own forces shall be counted, including the cost of supplies and materials obtained by the JSEB for the work of the subcontract, and supplies purchased or equipment leased by the JSEB. Supplies and equipment purchased or leased by a JSEB from the prime contractor or its affiliate shall not count as JSEB participation. (b) The entire amount of fees or commissions charged by a JSEB for providing a bona fide service, such as professional, technical, consultant or managerial services, or for providing bonds or insurance specifically required for the performance of a contract shall be counted, provided the fee is reasonable and not excessive as compared with fees customarily charged for similar services. (c) If a business ceases to be a certified JSEB during a contract, the dollar value of work performed under a contract with that business after it has ceased to be certified shall be counted in the City's internal accounting. No contractor shall be penalized in any way as a result of the failure of a project to achieve its Project Specific Goals because of the operation of this Section. (d) In determining achievement of a Subcontracting Participation Goal, the participation of a JSEB shall not be counted until the amount being counted has been paid to that entity. (e) Achievement of Project Specific Goal(s) shall be evaluated following the completion of the project. (Ord. 2021-117-E , § 5; Ord. 2025-148-E , § 4)
