The committee approved an MWBE participation goal of 17.6% for a procurement to provide occupational‑health services for new-employee physicals. The EOC recommended the 17.6% goal after identifying 6 minority firms among 34 total qualified firms; the chair presented the EOC's calculation and introduced Shelby County Health Department chief of staff Courtney Tipper to present the item.
Courtney Tipper told the committee the current contractor (recorded in the transcript as "Concerta") has an expired contract and the health department plans to go back to an RFP process for specialty services that require X‑ray and vision testing. The motion by Dr. Hall, seconded by Administrator James Gloucester, passed with recorded ayes from Dr. Hall, James Gloucester and Victor Anderson.
