The City is requesting proposals from responsible individuals, teams, or firms to assist the City in increasing the amount of business it conducts with minority owned businesses. The successful proposer will be required to determine why the City does not receive more bids, proposals, and qualifications from the minority owned business community; to develop an action plan to increase the amount of competitive bids, proposals, and qualifications the City receives from minority owned firms, and to assist in implementing the “action plan” developed.
