IX. Disadvantaged Banks The City of Colton will encourage all contractors to use the service of banks owned and controlled by disadvantaged busi- nesses. This encouragement will be disseminated during pre- bid and pre -construction conferences (if schedules) and the contract specifications. X. Selection Criteria for Contracts with DS Goals Every contract containing DB goals shall be evaluated by the DB Liaison Officer of his/her designees to ascertain bidding contractor's efforts to attain the DB goals. The award of any project with DS goals must be concurred with by the DB Liaison Officer of his/her designees before said contract may be awarded. Should there be disagreement between City of Colton functional units concerning contractor's efforts to attain contract goals for DB participation, the matter shall be referred to the City Manager or his/her designee, for final determination. Competitors that fail to meet the DB goal and fail to demon- strate sufficient reasonable efforts shall not be eligible to be awarded the contract. Any contracts that contain DB goals, pursuant to this policy will be monitored on an ongoing basis by project personnel during the course of construction. The OB Liaison Officer is to be immediately advised of any circumstances wherein con- tractor compliance with the DB provision is questionable. The contractor shall submit a final report for each project with DB goals which includes total payments to the prime contractor as well as payments the prime contractor has made to DB subcontractors, vendors and suppliers. If the report indicates the prime contractor has not achieved the project goals, project personnel shall attach an evaluation, in narrative form, of the reasons for failure to attain the goals and any corrective action that was taken. Prime contractors will be required to notify City of Colton personnel of any situation in which regularly scheduled pro- gress payments are not made in DB subcontractors, vendors or supplies. XI. Set -Asides If determined necessary by the DB Liaison Officer, the City of Colton will consider the use of DB set -asides as a tool to achieve the overall City goal. XII. Counting DB Participants The City of Colton, its contractors, and subcontractors shall count DB participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 23.47, Title 499 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
