MWBE Participation:
OBO approves the waiver of an MWBE goal on this procurement because, as per Chapter 15 of the Code of Ordinances, a waiver is appropriate when a public or administrative emergency exists which requires the goods or services to be provided with unusual immediacy.
Hire Houston First:
The proposed contract requires compliance with the City's 'Hire Houston First' (HHF) ordinance that promotes economic opportunity for Houston businesses and supports job creation. In this case the procurement is exempt from the City's Hire Houston First Ordinance.
