§ 57.18. Minority Employment and Subcontracting Levels to be Achieved by Contractors with the City for Construction Services.

Contractors submitting bids to provide construction services to the City shall comply with the minority group employment levels and minority business enterprise subcontracting percentages as established pursuant to Section 57.16 of this Chapter, or shall in the event such levels and percentages are not achieved, provide evidence of a good faith effort to achieve such levels and percentages. If such levels and percentages are not achieved and if it is deemed that a good faith effort for compliance has not been shown, then the contractor's bid shall be rejected as non-responsive.

Compliance with "minority group employment levels" shall mean hiring and maintaining a minimum of 18% minority workforce on the City construction job for which the contractor has bid.

Compliance with "minority business enterprise sub-contracting percentages" shall mean subcontracting to minority business enterprises a minimum of 18% of the total dollar value of a construction contract for which the contractor has bid. For the purpose of this requirement "minority business enterprises" need not be located in Orange, Seminole or Osceola Counties.
