Bill Summary
Relative to the participation of minority and women-owned businesses on public construction projects. State Administration and Regulatory Oversight.
AI Summary
This bill aims to promote the fair participation of minority and women-owned businesses (MBE/WBE) in public construction projects. It amends the Massachusetts General Laws to allow sub-bidders and trade contractors on certain state-funded construction projects to subcontract portions of their work to MBE/WBE firms in order to meet participation goals set by the awarding authority. These goals cannot exceed 10% of the total value of the sub-bid or trade contractor work. The bill also establishes a waiver process for sub-bidders and trade contractors to request a reduction or waiver of the participation goals.
