8 supplier of a product, equipment, or service required for the

12 OCOG awards any contracts, purchase orders, or other agreements
13 described in items (i) through (iii) to a minority-owned
14 business, business owned by a person with a disability, or a
15 female-owned business, those contracts shall be considered
16 towards the goals described in this subsection.
17     (b) For purposes of this Section, the terms "minority owned
18 business", "business owned by a person with a disability", and
19 "female owned business" have the meanings given to those terms
20 in the Business Enterprise for Minorities, Females, and Persons
21 with Disabilities Act. For purposes of meeting the goals of
22 this Section, the State shall recognize OCOG contracts
23 performed in the candidate city that are awarded to
24 minority-owned business enterprises, business enterprises
25 owned by persons with disabilities, or women-owned business
26 enterprises, as those terms are defined in the municipal code

14 Representatives, mayor of the candidate city, and city council
15 of the candidate city providing the number of respective

17 minority group, as persons with a disability, or as women. The
18 report shall also describe in detail the OCOG's compliance with
19 the requirements of subsections (a) and (c) of this Section.
20     (e) The Diversity Program Commission is created to monitor,
21 review, and report on minority, female, and persons with

22     (a) The Authority shall, within 90 days after the effective

 

 

09600SB2016ham002 - 21 - LRB096 11410 RCE 24096 a

1 date of this amendatory Act of 1984, establish and maintain an
2 affirmative action program designed to promote equal
3 employment opportunity and eliminate the effects of past
4 discrimination. Such program shall include a plan, including
5 timetables where appropriate, which shall specify goals and
6 methods for increasing participation by women and minorities in
7 employment, including employment related to the planning,
8 organization, and staging of the games, by the Authority and by
9 parties which contract with the Authority. The Authority shall
10 submit a detailed plan with the General Assembly prior to
11 September 1 of each year. Such program shall also establish
12 procedures and sanctions (including debarment), which the
13 Authority shall enforce to ensure compliance with the plan
14 established pursuant to this Section and with State and federal
15 laws and regulations relating to the employment of women and
16 minorities. A determination by the Authority as to whether a
17 party to a contract with the Authority has achieved the goals
18 or employed the methods for increasing participation by women
19 and minorities shall be determined in accordance with the terms
20 of such contracts or the applicable provisions of rules and
21 regulations of the Authority existing at the time such contract
22 was executed, including any provisions for consideration of
23 good faith efforts at compliance which the Authority may
24 reasonably adopt.
25     (b) The Authority shall adopt and maintain minority and
26 female owned business enterprise procurement programs under

 

 

09600SB2016ham002 - 22 - LRB096 11410 RCE 24096 a

1 the affirmative action program described in subsection (a) for
2 any and all work, including all contracting related to the
3 planning, organization, and staging of the games, undertaken by
4 the Authority. That work shall include, but is not limited to,
5 the purchase of professional services, construction services,
6 supplies, materials, and equipment. The programs shall
7 establish goals of awarding not less than 25% of the annual
8 dollar value of all contracts, purchase orders, or other
9 agreements (collectively referred to as "contracts") to
10 minority owned businesses and 5% of the annual dollar value of
11 all contracts to female owned businesses. Without limiting the
12 generality of the foregoing, the programs shall require in
13 connection with the prequalification or consideration of
14 vendors for professional service contracts, construction
15 contracts, and contracts for supplies, materials, equipment,
16 and services that each proposer or bidder submit as part of his
17 or her proposal or bid a commitment detailing how he or she
18 will expend 25% or more of the dollar value of his or her
19 contracts with one or more minority owned businesses and 5% or
20 more of the dollar value with one or more female owned
21 businesses. Bids or proposals that do not include such detailed
22 commitments are not responsive and shall be rejected unless the
23 Authority deems it appropriate to grant a waiver of these
24 requirements. In addition the Authority may, in connection with
25 the selection of providers of professional services, reserve
26 the right to select a minority or female owned business or

 

 

09600SB2016ham002 - 23 - LRB096 11410 RCE 24096 a

1 businesses to fulfill the commitment to minority and female
2 business participation. The commitment to minority and female
3 business participation may be met by the contractor or
4 professional service provider's status as a minority or female
5 owned business, by joint venture or by subcontracting a portion
6 of the work with or purchasing materials for the work from one
7 or more such businesses, or by any combination thereof. Each
8 contract shall require the contractor or provider to submit a
9 certified monthly report detailing the status of that
10 contractor or provider's compliance with the Authority's
11 minority and female owned business enterprise procurement
12 program. The Authority, after reviewing the monthly reports of
13 the contractors and providers, shall compile a comprehensive
14 report regarding compliance with this procurement program and
15 file it quarterly with the General Assembly. If, in connection
16 with a particular contract, the Authority determines that it is
17 impracticable or excessively costly to obtain minority or
18 female owned businesses to perform sufficient work to fulfill
19 the commitment required by this subsection, the Authority shall
20 reduce or waive the commitment in the contract, as may be
21 appropriate. The Authority shall establish rules and
22 regulations setting forth the standards to be used in
23 determining whether or not a reduction or waiver is
24 appropriate. The terms "minority owned business" and "female
25 owned business" have the meanings given to those terms in the
26 Business Enterprise for Minorities, Females, and Persons with

3 action program in connection with the hiring of minorities and
4 women on the Expansion Project and on any and all construction
5 projects, including all contracting related to the planning,
6 organization, and staging of the games, undertaken by the
7 Authority. The program shall be designed to promote equal
8 employment opportunity and shall specify the goals and methods
9 for increasing the participation of minorities and women in a
10 representative mix of job classifications required to perform
11 the respective contracts awarded by the Authority.
12     (d) In connection with the Expansion Project, the Authority
13 shall incorporate the following elements into its minority and
14 female owned business procurement programs to the extent
15 feasible: (1) a major contractors program that permits minority
16 owned businesses and female owned businesses to bear
17 significant responsibility and risk for a portion of the
18 project; (2) a mentor/protege program that provides financial,
19 technical, managerial, equipment, and personnel support to
20 minority owned businesses and female owned businesses; (3) an
21 emerging firms program that includes minority owned businesses
22 and female owned businesses that would not otherwise qualify
23 for the project due to inexperience or limited resources; (4) a
24 small projects program that includes participation by smaller
25 minority owned businesses and female owned businesses on jobs
26 where the total dollar value is $5,000,000 or less; and (5) a

 

 

09600SB2016ham002 - 25 - LRB096 11410 RCE 24096 a

4 businesses.
5     (e) The Authority is authorized to enter into agreements
6 with contractors' associations, labor unions, and the
