substituted MBE, provided however, that compliance with this paragraph shall not limit the terms of
M.G.L. Chapter 149, Section 44F.
17.4.6 Any changes or substitutions of the officers or stockholders in an MBE that
reduces the minority or woman ownership or control to less than the requisite percentage will result in the

but was not performed by an MBE pursuant to the Participation
Schedule; or w
(b) require specific performance of the Contractor's obligation
under this Article 17 by requiring the Contractor to contract with ,.
an MBE selected by the Contractor and agreed to by the City
for any Work remaining, at no additional cost to the owner.
17.5.2 To the extent that the Contractor has not complied with the terms of these
conditions, the City may withhold from any periodic payment monies equivalent to the product of the
percentage of completion times the MBE dollar amount, minus the amount already paid to MBE's for
Work performed under the contract, minus any payments already withheld.
17.5.3 In addition to the remedies provided under 17.5.1 and 17.5.2 the City may
suspend or terminate this contract in whole or in part, or may call upon the Contractors' surety to perform
all terms and conditions in the contract. *�

management and receipt of profits of the project bid upon.
(b) In the case of a joint venture between an MBE and a non-
certified business in which the MBE does not exercise more
than 51% control over management and profits, the joint
!"! venture shall be entitled to a credit as an MBE for that
proportion of the joint venture's contract equal to the MBE
participation in the joint venture, except in the case of(c) below.
(c) Whenever a bid is filed by a joint venture with an MBE
participant in the joint venture that does not exercise more than
51% control over management and profits, that joint venture
± ! shall be entitled to credit as an MBE for the lesser of the
following amounts: (1)that proportion of the joint venture's item
1 price equal to the MBE participation in the joint venture, or(2)
25% of the Amount of Participation.
(d) Whenever a joint venture with an MBE participant files a bid
or sub-bid, and requests a credit as an MBE, that bid must be
10 accompanied by the joint venture agreement for that joint
venture.
17.4 Com liance
17.4.1 If the Participation Schedule is materially incomplete, the City may consider the
bid informal as to substance and reject the bid. If the schedule is incomplete in other respects, the City
may consider the bid informal as to form and may waive the informalities upon the satisfactory completion
of the required information by the bidder and the minority Contractor as applicable.
17.4.2 If the Awarding Authority finds that the amount of MBE participation submitted by
the bidder on his/her schedule does not meet the 5%goal, it will reject the bidder's proposal and find such
bidder ineligible for award of this contract.
17.4.3 A General bidder shall not change the MBE's listed in his/her Schedule or make
any other such MBE substitutions without the written approval of the City as to certification and
notification to SOMBA.

the purpose of taking advantage of set-aside programs.
17.1.5 "Amount of Participation" means the actual dollar amount to be paid to MBE's for
Work performed on this Contract in accordance with this program.
17.2 Conditions : All Contractors, Subcontractors, Sub-subcontractors, and the like agree to be
bound by the commitments and obligations outlined in the sections below, as applicable.
17.2.1 The apparent low general bidder must submit a Letter of Intent within five days of .�

MBE status. Applications must be made on the application form prepared by SOMBA and available from
SOMBA. Applicants can be certified only by SOMBA, and certification as a"Minority Business" by other
agencies does not fulfill the requirements of this Article 17.
17.3.2 SOMBA will be responsible for preparing, publishing, and updating a list of
certified minority-owned contracting and Subcontracting businesses. The list that is most current at the
time the Work is advertised shall govern, and bidders are expected to use it as a reference source in
meeting the requirements of this Article 17.
17.3.3 Submission of an application to SOMBA does not constitute certification by ..

that the Work or designated portion therefor is substantially complete, he will then prepare a Certificate of
Substantial Completion which shall establish the Date of Substantial Completion, shall state the
