Bill Summary
Relative to the fair 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 in Massachusetts. It amends the state's laws to allow sub-bidders and trade contractors to subcontract portions of their work to MBE/WBE firms in order to meet participation goals set by the awarding authority, which cannot exceed 10% of the total value of the work. The bill establishes a waiver process for sub-bidders and trade contractors who request a reduction or waiver of the participation goals. This applies to certain public construction projects managed by state authorities, including those with an overall estimated cost of $5 million or more.
