Equal Opportunity Contracting Clause Samples

The Equal Opportunity Contracting clause requires parties to ensure that employment and contracting practices are free from discrimination based on protected characteristics such as race, gender, or disability. In practice, this means contractors must actively recruit, hire, and treat employees and subcontractors fairly, and may be required to submit reports or comply with affirmative action plans. The core function of this clause is to promote diversity and inclusion in the workplace and to ensure compliance with anti-discrimination laws, thereby reducing the risk of legal disputes and fostering equitable business practices.
Equal Opportunity Contracting. Prime consultants are encouraged to take positive steps to diversify and expand their subconsultant solicitation base and to offer contracting opportunities to all eligible subconsultants. To support its Equal Opportunity Contracting commitment, the City has established a voluntary subconsultant participation level. A. Subconsultant Participation Level 1. Projects valued at $25,000 or more have a voluntary Subconsultant Participation Level goal of 15%. Goals are achieved by contracting with any combination of Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), Women Business Enterprise (WBE), Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE), Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) or Other Business Enterprise (OBE) level. 2. While attainment of the 15% Subconsultant Participation Level goal is strictly voluntary, the City encourages diversity in your outreach and selection efforts. Historical data indicates that of the overall 15% goal, 25% to 30% Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) and 1% to 3% Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) participation is attainable. The remaining percentages may be allocated to Other Business Enterprises (OBE). Participation levels may be used as a tiebreaker in cases of an overall tie between two or more firms.
