which DBEs can compete fairly for contracts and subcontracts relating
to the District’s construction, procurement and professional service activities.

ensure adherence to this Policy. The DBE/Program Compliance Administrator,
in coordination with all District Officers, Deputy/Assistant General Managers,
Department Managers, and Purchasing and Buying Staff, is responsible for

with the District’s nondiscrimination policy. It is the expectation of
the Board of Directors and the General Manager that all District personnel
shall adhere to the spirit, as well as the provisions and procedures,
of the DBE Program.
This Policy Statement will be circulated to all District personnel and
to members of the community that perform or are interested in performing
work on District contracts. The complete DBE Program and overall annual
