I. When, as a recipient, you establish a contract goal on a DOT- assisted contract, a bidder must, in order to be responsible and/or responsive, make good faith efforts to meet the goal. The bidder can meet this requirement in either of two ways. First, the bidder can meet the goal, documenting commitments for participation by DBE firms sufficient for this purpose. Second, even if it doesn't meet the goal, the bidder can document adequate good faith efforts. This means that the bidder must show that it took all necessary and reasonable steps to achieve a DBE goal or other requirement of this part which, by their scope, intensity, and appropriateness to the objective, could reasonably be expected to obtain sufficient DBE participation, even if they were not fully successful.
II. In any situation in which you have established a contract goal, part 26 requires you to use the good faith efforts mechanism of this part. As a recipient, it is up to you to make a fair and reasonable judgment whether a bidder that did not meet the goal made adequate good faith efforts. It is important for you to consider the quality, quantity, and intensity of the different kinds of efforts that the bidder has made. The efforts employed by the bidder should be those that one could reasonably expect a bidder to take if the bidder were actively and aggressively trying to obtain DBE participation sufficient to meet the DBE contract goal. Mere pro forma efforts are not good faith efforts to meet the DBE contract requirements. We emphasize, however, that your determination concerning the sufficiency of the firm's good faith efforts is a judgment call: meeting quantitative formulas is not required.

III. The Department also strongly cautions you against requiring that a bidder meet a contract goal (i.e., obtain a specified amount of DBE participation) in order to be awarded a contract, even though the bidder makes an adequate good faith efforts showing. This rule specifically prohibits you from ignoring bona fide good faith efforts.
IV. The following is a list of types of actions which you should consider as part of the bidder's good faith efforts to obtain DBE participation. It is not intended to be a mandatory checklist, nor is it intended to be exclusive or exhaustive. Other factors or types of efforts may be relevant in appropriate cases.
A. Soliciting through all reasonable and available means (e.g. attendance at pre-bid meetings, advertising and/or written notices) the interest of all certified DBEs who have the capability to perform the work of the contract. The bidder must solicit this interest within sufficient time to allow the DBEs to respond to the solicitation. The bidder must determine with certainty if the DBEs are interested by taking appropriate steps to follow up initial solicitations.
D. (1) Negotiating in good faith with interested DBEs. It is the bidder's responsibility to make a portion of the work available to DBE subcontractors and suppliers and to select those portions of the work or material needs consistent with the available DBE subcontractors and suppliers, so as to facilitate DBE participation. Evidence of such negotiation includes the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of DBEs that were considered; a description of the information provided regarding the plans and specifications for the work selected for subcontracting; and evidence as to why additional agreements could not be reached for DBEs to perform the work.
(2) A bidder using good business judgment would consider a number of factors in negotiating with subcontractors, including DBE subcontractors, and would take a firm's price and capabilities as well as contract goals into consideration. However, the fact that there may be some additional costs involved in finding and using DBEs is not in itself sufficient reason for a bidder's failure to meet the contract DBE goal, as long as such costs are reasonable. Also, the ability or desire of a prime contractor to perform the work of a contract with its own organization does not relieve the bidder of the responsibility to make good faith efforts. Prime contractors are not, however, required to accept higher quotes from DBEs if the price difference is excessive or unreasonable.
H. Effectively using the services of available minority/women community organizations; minority/women contractors' groups; local, state, and Federal minority/women business assistance offices; and other organizations as allowed on a case-by-case basis to provide assistance in the recruitment and placement of DBEs.
V. In determining whether a bidder has made good faith efforts, you may take into account the performance of other bidders in meeting the contract. For example, when the apparent successful bidder fails to meet the contract goal, but others meet it, you may reasonably raise the question of whether, with additional reasonable efforts, the apparent successful bidder could have met the goal. If the apparent successful bidder fails to meet the goal, but meets or exceeds the average DBE participation obtained by other bidders, you may view this, in conjunction with other factors, as evidence of the apparent successful bidder having made good faith efforts.

In the context of digital advertising, Google identifies users with cookiesthat belong to the doubleclick.net domain, and biddersparticipating in Real-Time Bidding may have their own domain where theyidentify some set of users they would like to show ads. Cookie Matchingenables the bidder to match their cookies with Google's, such that they candetermine whether an impression sent in a bid request is associated with one ofusers being targeted, they will receive either their own cookie data or abidder-specific Google User ID that is an encrypted form of thedoubleclick.net cookie in the bid request.
The cookie matching service described in this guide facilitates the creationand maintenance of the association between a bidder's cookie and the GoogleUser ID, and also allows one to populate user lists.
A match table can be used to map an ID or other data from one domain toanother. Bidders can use the Cookie Matching Service to populate their ownmatch tables by mapping their cookie for a given user to the user's GoogleUser ID, or to populate a match table hosted by Google. Match tables arenecessary for a bidder's bidder application to access cookie data for the userbeing shown the impression.
In any of the supported Cookie Matching workflows,a bidder's Cookie Matching URL typically has parameters appended in anon-guaranteed ordering. Bidders with integrations requiring consistentordering of parameters can place macros in their Cookie Matching URL toguarantee their placement.
A bidder has a cookie matching integration with an endpoint hosted at , and their implementation requirespreset bidder-defined parameters in addition to Pixel Matchingparameters in the following order: google_push,google_gid, google_cver, andgoogle_error. The bidder can accomplish this by setting theirCookie Matching URL to:
Bidirectional Cookie Matching refers to a bidder-initiated workflow, wherethey place a match tag in the user's browser that directs it to Google. Thisworkflow allows both Google and the bidder to populate match tables. Below is asimple example of this workflow.
In order to initiate this flow, the bidder must place their match tag suchthat it renders in the user's browser. A simple match tag that only returnsthe Google User ID to the bidder may be structured as follows:
The match tag will cause Google's Cookie Matching Service to receive arequest from the user's browser, which will issue an HTTP 302redirect to the bidder's Cookie Matching URL. The redirect will include queryparameters specifying the Google User ID and its version number in the URL, andthe bidder will also receive their cookie included in the request headers. Inpractice, for a cookie matching URL specified as ,the redirect URL for the simple match tag as seen above could look like thefollowing:
The Google User ID passed through the google_gid parameter isan unpadded web-safe base64-encodedstring. For bidders choosing to host a match table, it is recommended that theystore the exact string returned by the Cookie Matching Service. In subsequentbid requests, this will correspond to values specified through BidRequest.google_user_idin Google's RTB protocol, or BidRequest.user.id in Google'sOpenRTB implementation. 2351a5e196
