The department and purchasing division will create an SBE, SLBE and ELBE directory
that lists SBEs, SLBEs and ELBEs, categorized by types of firms, to facilitate identifying
businesses with capabilities relevant to a particular specification. Each business
listing will contain the business name, contact person, address, phone number, legal
structure of the business, and details concerning the company's business specialty(ies).
The directory will be continuously updated and maintained electronically. In compiling
this directory, the city of Cincinnati will identify and certify as many SBEs, SLBEs
and ELBEs as possible that have the potential of doing business with the city of Cincinnati.
The city of Cincinnati will maintain and have available updated SBE, SLBE and ELBE
directories and source list(s) for each bid/proposal solicitation to facilitate identifying
SBEs, SLBEs and ELBEs with capabilities relevant to general contracting requirements
and to particular solicitations. The city of Cincinnati will make the directory and
source list(s) available to bidders and offerors in their efforts to meet the SBE,
SLBE and ELBE commitments.
