Social Responsibility in Contracting

The City is committed to socially-responsible procurement and promoting social equity through our contracts. We work to ensure open and fair procurements, competitive and fair pricing, environmentally-sustainable solutions, best labor practices, access to equal benefits and utilization of women- and minority-owned businesses, when applicable, in City bid decisions and contracts.
