MBE/WBE/DBE Program includes construction contracts, purchasing
contracts and professional/personal service contracts let by
departments and special districts Countywide.
The goals established are 13% MBE and 2% WBE for construction
contracts and 15% MBE and 5% WBE for purchasing contracts. Goals
of 20% MBE and 7% WBE for professional/personal service contracts
have not been formally adopted.
On March 13 , 1990 the Board approved a Joint Powers Agreement
between Contra Costa County and Alameda County for a joint study
to provide the Counties with additional evidence relating to the
use of minority-owned and women-owned businesses to allow each
jurisdiction to determine ' whether changes in its MBE/WBE/DBE
program are desirable or required.
Proposal responses were received on May 4, 1990 from eight
prospective consultants. Each Proposal was reviewed and rated by
an evaluation committee composed of staff from both counties.
Based on totals of individual staff ratings, four firms were
selected for oral interviews with the evaluation committee. The
result of the interviews was the selection of National Economic
Research Associates of San Francisco, California. The study, which
would be performed under contract with the County Counsel' s Office,.
would cover three program areas -- construction, purchasing, and
professional/personal service contracts. The study would be
completed within six months at a total cost of $328, 680. Under the
Joint Powers Agreement previously approved by the Board, Contra
Costa County' s share of the study costs is 50%. Subsequent
negotiations between the Administrators of Alameda and Contra Costa
Counties yielded an agreement of a 40%/60% split with Contra Costa
County' s share being 400 or $131, 472 .
