Referrals Committee asks MWDEBE committee to review procurement practices in parallel with procurement rewrite
Summary
A late referral asked the Minority-, Women-, Disabled-, and Veteran-owned Enterprise Business Enterprise (MWDEBE) committee to examine procurement and bidding practices to increase opportunities for MWDEBE businesses; the committee asked that the MWDEBE review align with Administration and Public Works timelines.
The Referrals Committee referred a request that the MWDEBE committee review procurement and bidding practices to identify ways to increase opportunities for MWDEBE businesses. Committee members said the MWDEBE committee could proceed in parallel with an ongoing procurement rewrite and advised that the MWDEBE discussion be timed to align with consideration by the Administration and Public Works Committee when ready.
A committee member described this as a long-term effort and recommended tracking the timeline of the procurement rewrite so the MWDEBE committee can discuss the matter when it is ready for A&PW consideration. The committee voted 2–0 to refer the item and preserve coordination between committees.
The referral does not itself change procurement rules; it requests that the MWDEBE committee undertake a review and coordinate timing with other committees.
