How it works

The workflow follows how you already bid public work — it just captures the evidence while you do it.

1. 1

   Set up the project — 2 minutes

   Enter the state funding amount and whether you're the Construction Manager. GoodFaith CT tells you whether the Short Form or Long Form GFE plan applies, records the project's Spending Allocation Goals from the bid notification, and seeds the CHRO closeout checklist.

   Short Form GFE Plan State funding between $150,000 and $1,000,000.
2. 2

   Log outreach as it happens

   Search 2,000+ CT-certified SBE/MBE firms by trade and town, add them to your rolodex, and log every solicitation — emails with attachments, phone calls with written notes, portal postings. Entries are timestamped and append-only: a 15-minute window for typos, voiding with a reason after that, no silent edits ever. That's what makes the log audit-grade.

   Tabulate bids and track your goals

   Record every quote, select winners with final subcontract amounts, and document the business reason for any certified firm you pass on. The SBE/MBE goal bars update live against your project's Spending Allocation Goals, so you know where you stand before you file — not after.
