Compliance
The Contract
Compliance Unit of the Office of Human
Relations has the responsibility to monitor
the efforts of contractors to comply with the Affirmative
Action and Equal Employment Opportunity
contractual requirements and goals. The
intent of these requirements and goals is to
enhance the inclusion of minorities and women
contractors and/or tradesworkers on City of
Hartford projects.
The Contract
Compliance Unit monitors the following
requirements and/or goals.
- A.
Minority/Women Business Enterprise (M/WBE)
Participation Requirement

contractors are required to set-aside a
portion of work as specified in the

Hartford has established a minimum
requirement of 15% with an overall goal of
50% M/WBE utilization. Prime
contractors must submit on a monthly basis
the Monthly
Minority/Women Business Enterprise Payment
Status Report for review to determine
compliance.
-
- B.
Minority/Female Tradesworker Participation
Goal
- The City of
Hartford's contracts include a 15% minimum
and 50% overall minority/female
tradesworker participation goal, by trade,
of the total project hours.
Contractors must submit on a monthly basis
the Monthly
Utilization Report (1391-A Form) for
review to determine compliance.
-
- C.
