MINORITY PARTICIPATION GOALS REVIEW OF CITY CODE CHAPTER 28, <br /> ARTICLE 10 (Handout and Discussion) <br /> A. Policy <br /> The City of Decatur encourages a diverse workforce for all municipal procurement and <br /> public works projects. Toward that end, the City establishes goals for participation by <br /> Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and minority workers for public works contracts, <br /> and incentives for procuring equipment, supplies and services for the city government <br /> from MBEs. <br /> ' The City requires that general contractors show good faith efforts to meet the City's <br /> goals of 10% of the project amount be used to hire MBE subcontractors when <br /> subcontracting opportunities exist and/or 10%of the total dollar amount of the <br /> contract should be for the purchase of goods, material and equipment to Minority <br /> Business Enterprise, and 18%total hours are to be worked by minority employees. <br /> ' Note that there are two goals that need to be addressed <br /> B. Definitions <br /> ' The Prospective bidders are directed to the attached handout that provides an excerpt <br /> of the State's definition of a minority. <br /> ' C. Project Goals and Good Faith Efforts <br /> 1,.Subcontracting/Supplier Goal: 10% of total dollar amount should be performed by <br /> ' MBE if subcontracting opportunities are available and/or 10% of the total dollar <br /> amount of the contract should be for the purchase of goods,material and equipment <br /> to Minority Business Enterprises. <br /> a. Subcontracting is not required but if a subcontractor is used a Good Faith <br /> Effort must be made to fill the stated goal. <br /> t The Contractor shall put forward good faith efforts to "actively and <br /> aggressively"seek the participation of MBE or minority workers. It is <br /> expected that a demonstration of"active"and "aggressive"will include <br /> actual direct contact with or working with a minority subcontractor in a <br /> manner that leads them to provide actual quotes for the work to be <br /> subcontracted. This is benefited by the development of an ongoing <br /> relationship with minority subcontractors. <br /> 1 <br />
