This is what you're buying

Both deliverables, generated by the same engine that produces yours from one fictional project — watermarked as samples. Use whichever fits how you file: the official forms generated filled, or the evidence packet to accompany forms you complete yourself.

1 · The official forms, generated filled

The official CHRO Short Form GFE Plan (Effective 07/01/2026) filled from the sample project's outreach log — every section, the three §2 availability tables, and Attachment III — plus the Bid Tabulation Worksheet as a real spreadsheet. Your version arrives as an editable .docx/.xlsx to review, sign, and file.

2 · The evidence packet

Prefer to fill CHRO's forms yourself? The packet is the evidence side as one submission-ready PDF — chronological outreach log, bid tabulation with non-selection reasons, goal attainment, payments, and audit disclosures — formatted to accompany the official forms.

What the packet covers: the subcontractor-outreach, bid-tabulation, and goal-attainment sections of the GFE plan — the whole evidence side. On the 07/01/2026 templates the Short and Long Forms share the same seven sections; the Long Form ($1M+ state funding, or any Construction Manager over $150k) adds one narrative section — the Good Faith Efforts Attachment (work breakdown, equal access, pre-bid meeting, TA training) — which your company writes and your evidence log backs up.

What auditors look for — and where it is in the packet

1. A cover page that maps onto the official form

Company identity, head of company, project and state contract numbers, awarding-authority contact, and the SBE and MBE/WBE/DisBE goals stated as both percent and dollars — the same fields the CHRO Cover Page asks for.

2. A contemporaneous outreach log

Every solicitation of a certified firm, in chronological order, with method, timestamps, written notes (required for phone outreach), the response, and the firm's DAS certification number and expiration. Notice entry #1 in the sample: it's voided, not deleted — corrections stay visible, which is what makes the rest of the log credible.

3. Bid tabulation with certifications and non-selection reasons

Every quote received with the bidder's DAS certification type, number, and expiration, and a documented business reason wherever a certified firm wasn't selected — the sample shows a roofing bid passed over for budget with the reasoning on the record. Expired or unverified certifications are flagged before an auditor finds them.

4. Goal attainment in CHRO's Attachment III format

Awarded firms with certification details and contract values, totaled against the project's Spending Allocation Goals in both percent and dollars — the sample project hits its 25% SBE goal exactly, with MBE/WBE/DisBE participation shown separately.

5. Payments, closeout status, and audit disclosures

Subcontractor payments checked against CT's 15-day prompt-payment rule (due-date anchored, with bona fide disputes represented), the closeout checklist with the 45-day deadline countdown, and a "Project Record Amendments" section disclosing any identity changes made after purchase.

6. A signed attestation, ready to execute

The packet ends the way the official plan does: the Section 7 Concluding Statement pledge over date, signature, and printed-name-and-title lines, plus the Section 6 closeout acknowledgment — pre-filled with the head of company and the preparer.
