  • TYPE OF DOCUMENT: RFP - Request for Proposals
This document outlines the requirements for a contractor to conduct a study on the utilization of minority and women-owned businesses (M/WBEs) in Baltimore County's procurement processes. The study is to be conducted in two phases. In Phase I, the contractor is required to analyze the utilization of M/WBEs in County contracts and compare it to the availability of such firms in the market area. The contractor should provide detailed information about the methodology used to determine the relevant market for M/WBEs in Tab 2.2 of their proposal. If a disparity is found between the utilization of M/WBEs and their availability in the market, the contractor is then required to proceed to Phase II. In Phase II, the contractor is expected to conduct an in-depth review of the County's purchasing policies and procedures. This includes identifying instances of discrimination, evaluating the extent of discrimination, performing regression analysis, and assessing the effectiveness of race/gender neutral initiatives. The contractor should provide a detailed plan in their proposal on how they will carry out these tasks. Additionally, the contractor is expected to make recommendations for activities to remedy discrimination and improve the County's procurement processes based on their findings. The document also includes reporting requirements and a schedule of values for payment. In summary, the contractor is required to conduct a comprehensive study on the utilization of M/WBEs in Baltimore County's procurement processes. This involves analyzing the utilization of M/WBEs, comparing it to their availability in the market, reviewing the County's purchasing policies, identifying discrimination, and providing recommendations for improvement. The contractor should provide a detailed methodology and plan in their proposal to address these requirements.
