GOODFAITH
SBE Participation & Good-Faith Effort Tracker · New Castle County
About this tool: GOODFAITH helps you capture SBE participation and good-faith-effort evidence as it happens — not the night before the bid is due. It produces a contractor-prepared supporting record that you transcribe onto, or attach to, the county's SBE form (distributed with each bid's specification package). This is not a county form and does not guarantee programme compliance — that determination is the county's.
Per the county's SBE Program Fact Sheet: "Is the Contract Goal a requirement? No, but good faith efforts are needed should a goal not be met." The goal is aspirational. A shortfall documented with thorough good-faith evidence is a legitimate outcome.

Participation Summary
The SBE participation goal is not a hard requirement — the county accepts either meeting the goal or a documented good-faith effort. This summary shows your current position; the Good-Faith Checklist documents the effort if the goal is not met.
Committed Subcontractors
Mark firms as committed and enter the contract dollar value. These are firms you have agreed to use on this bid.
Good-Faith Effort Checklist
From the New Castle County SBE Program Fact Sheet — the nine criteria the county considers when evaluating a good-faith effort. Check each criterion you addressed and describe specifically what you did. These notes become part of the evidence record. You do not need to address all nine — document the ones that apply to your bid.
Generate Evidence Record
Produces a contractor-prepared supporting record — not a county form. This document contains your bid information, participation math, full solicitation log, and good-faith criteria evidence. Attach it to or transcribe it onto the county's SBE form, which is distributed with each bid's specification package.
If this bid lands, you’ll owe weekly certified payroll
Delaware requires sworn payroll weekly on covered public-works contracts — 29 Del. C. §6960(c). Failing to file carries a civil penalty of $1,000–$5,000 per violation (§6960(e)). Coverage includes new construction over $500,000 and alteration, repair, renovation, or demolition over $45,000.
SWORN is the companion tool for the payroll side. It holds the Delaware prevailing-wage determination and checks each worker’s hours against the correct county rate — flagging underpayment, apprentice registration, and ratio problems before you sign the sworn statement. $29/month.
