Good Faith Effort
For any project in which the partner is unable to meet the 18% MBE, 7% WBE or 12% MWI goals, the Compliance team may choose to invite a submission of a Good Faith Effort Waiver (“GFE Waiver”) request for consideration.
The Minority & Women Owned Business Enterprise Review Committee monitors and issues determinations on the Good Faith Effort Waiver requests submitted by project partners to the Urban Redevelopment Authority of Pittsburgh. The Committee will review GFE Waiver requests and make recommendations to the URA’s Board as to whether the project partner has made a good faith effort to reach the URA’s MWBE Goals. Questions about the GFE Waiver? Reach out to mwbe@ura.org.
