MWBE Participation:
This procurement was advertised with a zero percent MWBE goal, as the expenditure was anticipated to be less than the City’s $100,000.00 threshold. However, the ultimate sole bid received is in excess of $100,000.00. Because this procurement was advertised with a zero percent MWBE goal, this purchase will proceed with a zero percent MWBE goal.
