§ 3-427. City-wide goals.

(a)

The goals set forth in this section are city-wide annual goals to be used by city departments and incentive agencies. The city-wide goals are not goals for individual contracts. They are goals for total MBE and WBE participation in all contracts entered into each year. The city-wide goals are established as follows:

Classification	Annual Goal
MBE	14.7
WBE	14.4

 

(b)

The MBE and WBE program will expire on December 1, 2022, unless prior to that date, the director has issued a request for proposals to undertake a comprehensive disparity study, and upon completion of the disparity study, presented the study results to the city council to consider whether to maintain, modify, or terminate the minority and women business enterprise program described by this division.

(c)

Neither city-wide annual goals nor individual contract goals should be construed as a limitation on contracting opportunities for the above listed classifications. Such classifications shall be eligible to be awarded contracts consistent with bidding or other contract procedures over and above the percentages listed.
