BACKGROUND
On December 13, 1999, the Board of Supervisors approved the Small Business Enterprise
Program for the purpose of providing small businesses a fair share of County business. The
program covers construction contracts of$25,000 or less, purchasing transactions of$50,000
or less, and professional/personal services contracts of$50,000 or less. For those contracts
and transactions that are not exempt from the program, 50% of the dollar amount will be
awarded to small businesses, as defined in the program. The Board directed the County
Administrator to work with County departments to implement the program and referred the
program to the Internal Operations Committee for continuing policy oversight and
development of recommendations for program changes, if warranted.
The Outreach Program was adopted by the Board of Supervisors in August 1998 to promote
broad outreach to all businesses, currently including minority-owned, women-owned, disabled
veteran-owned, small, local, and other businesses, and applies to service contracts in the
amount of$2,500 or more and purchasing contracts that exceed $10,000.
In 2003, the Board of Supervisors established a program to formally recognize departments
that are actively complying with the spirit of the SBE and Outreach programs. The Internal
Operations Committee has provided policy oversight on the programs since their inception,
and makes recommendations to the Board of Supervisors each January on those
departments whose program performance during the prior year merits special recognition.
We are pleased to nominate the Employment and Human Services Department, the
Department of Information Technology, and the Public Works Department for special
recognition for 2004.
