During construction phase of the project, review “MWBE Documentation for Contract Payment” – (Appendix E) for compliance with MWBE utilization commitments. Submit Appendix E form with monthly pay applications to the owner.

MWBE firms that have been awarded contracts will not be credited towards the Bidder’s MWBE Participation Plan unless they are certified with the State of North Carolina.

The grievance (internal complaint resolution) procedure is a resource available to all contractors, subcontractors, and vendors doing business with the Guilford County Schools under the MWBE Program. Grievances related to the administration of the MWBE Program will be processed as follows:

1. The grievance shall first be discussed with the responsible operating department. If the

grievance is not resolved, exercise item #2.

2. The grievance (complaint) must be reported in writing, including a brief description and supporting documentation and evidence to the Superintendent’s designee at 712 N. Eugene Street, Greensboro, North Carolina, 27401.

4. Any participant not satisfied with the decision of the Superintendent’s designee may

avail himself/herself or any remedies available under applicable Federal, State and Local law.
