The department will create an MBE and WBE directory that lists MBEs and WBEs 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 will
identify and attempt to certify as many MBEs and WBEs as possible that have the potential
of doing business with the city. The city will maintain and have available an updated
MBE and WBE Directory and source list(s) for each bid/proposal solicitation to facilitate
identifying MBEs and WBEs with capabilities relevant to general contracting requirements
and to particular solicitations. The city will make the directory and source list(s)
available to bidders and respondents in their efforts to meet the MBE and WBE commitments
under this chapter.
