13.

b.The contractor or consultant shall notify and obtain authorization from the reporting agency before it substitutes a small or women or minority-owned business subcontractor, sub-consultant, or vendor named in a bid proposal or other contract-related submission; and
c.If the substitution is approved, the contractor or consultant shall make a good faith effort to utilize another small or women or minority-owned business subcontractor, sub-consultant, or vendor in place of the previous small or women or minority-owned business subcontractor, sub-consultant, or vendor.
