On City Council's Agenda: Minority Contracting

The City Council agenda for Wednesday morning will include a discussion led by Commissioner Randy Leonard on the process for awarding city contracts.

A resolution (PDF) that Leonard will introduce calls for city bureaus to "include at least one minority evaluator provided by the Alliance of Minority Chambers on all contractor evaluation and selection panels awarding City contracts."

The resolution also specifies that this requirement only affects "contracts in excess of the formal solicitation thresholds for contracts that are not awarded on the basis of lowest responsible bidder."
