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 Community Development Department, the General Services Department, and Cooperative Extension for special recognition for 2005.
