In order to implement Executive Order 11625 which mandates increased utilization
of minority businesses. the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) has suggested the following formula to determine a realistic goal:
Percentage of
Minorities in the
general population
of the City.
(a)
Estimated Total Dollar
amount to be let for
contracts and/or
purchase of goods and
services
(b)
Estimated Minority
Agency and Business
Participation level
(in total dollars)
(c)
However, the City of Evanston desires to set separate goals for 1)
non-construction/purchased services projects run by subgrantees and 2)
construction/purchased services projects run by both subgrantees and City
departments.
THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City of Evanston
establishes the following affirmative action goals for minority participation in the
1990-91 CDBG program.
1) Non-Construction/Purchased Services (Subgrantees only)
--------- ----- ------ -----
Goal to be derived by totalling all minority based subgrantee contract amounts for
the last five years and taking this amount as a percentage of the total amount of
subgrantee contracts to award.
Percentage of subgrantee contract amounts to be awarded to 78%
minority based subgrantees:
Total Amount of available contracts: $566,321
Amount of contracts awarded to minority based subgrantees: $566,321
Percentage of subgrantee contract amounts actually awarded
to minority -based subgrantees: 100%
2) Construction/Purchased services (City Departments and Subgrantees)
Goal to be derived by standard (recommended) HUD formula as detailed previously:
• (a) X (b) _ (c)
28.8% X $497,205 = $143.195
