The document is a Statement of Procurement Policy for the KCDC (Knoxville's Community Development Corporation). The document outlines the policies and procedures for procurement, appeals and remedies, assistance to small and other businesses, and definitions of various terms related to procurement. In terms of procurement, the document states that KCDC aims to resolve contractual issues informally without litigation and that disputes should be resolved before referring to HUD (Department of Housing and Urban Development). It also mentions the process for bid protests, including the required information for written protests and the possibility of suspension of procurement pending resolution of the protest. The document also emphasizes KCDC's efforts to support small and minority-owned businesses, women's business enterprises, and businesses located in or owned by persons residing within the Section 3 covered project. These efforts include including such firms on solicitation mailing lists, encouraging their participation through direct solicitation, dividing requirements into smaller tasks to allow maximum participation, and requiring prime contractors to provide opportunities for training and employment for lower-income residents and award subcontracts to local businesses. Additionally, the document sets a goal for KCDC to contract with small businesses for 20% of its annual expenditures and requires selected developers in redevelopment projects to contract with small businesses for a similar percentage of the work. It also mentions training seminars for small businesses and the possibility of pre-bid conferences for interested bidders. The document concludes with definitions of terms such as small business, minority-owned business, women's business enterprise, labor surplus area business, and business concern located in the area of the project, including those owned by persons considered by the U.S. Small Business Administration to be residing within the Section 3 covered project.
