Commission Committee Meeting · 2026-04-21 · agenda_item

This agenda item concerns requirements for contractors, including those for minority and women's business enterprises, when working on projects funded by federal grants. It outlines affirmative steps to ensure these businesses are used when possible and that sub-contractors also comply. The county may be awarded state or federal grants that could fund services provided under an agreement. Contractors will receive copies of grant agreements and must comply with their requirements, including access to records. This item is currently under review by the Commission Committee Meeting. The work would involve ensuring compliance with grant and federal regulations, potentially impacting various construction and professional services. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to reach out early to understand these requirements as they may apply to future projects.
