CITY OF BEAUMONT
MINORITY BUSINESS ENTERPRISE POLICY
CONTRACTUAL SERVICES
The City of Beaumont has adopted a plan to assure minority
professionals' involvement in City contracts. It is the target of
the City of Beaumont to award at least twenty percent of all
contractual services (over $ 5,000 per contract) to qualified
minority business enterprises each year. It is the ultimate goal
of the City to have its letting of contractual services contracts
reflect the demographic make-up of the City . The term "minority
business" means a business in which ( a) at least fifty-one percent
is owned by minority members or, in the case of a corporation, at
least fifty-one percent of the stock is owned by minority members;
and (b) the management and daily business operations are
controlled by one or more such individuals. For the purposes of
the preceding sentence, minority group members include "Blacks,
Hispanics, Asian Americans, American Indians, Alaskan Native,
women and handicapped individuals" .
In order to obtain our goal, the City of Beaumont will take the
following steps:
1 . The City of Beaumont will take every step to use a
qualified minority business as a prime contractor
when available.
2 . If a minority business cannot be utilized as a
prime contractor, then a majority business who
sub-contracts with a minority contractor for
a percentage of the contract will be given
priority.

3 . If a minority business contractor cannot be utilized and
the majority contractor cannot subcontract with a
minority contractor, a majority contractor having an
Affirmative Action Plan and furnishing such plan to the
City will be given next priority.
4 . If the steps above do not result in any minority
participation or use of a contractor with an Affirmative
Action Plan, the City Manager may approve the use of a
majority contractor who will provide an Affirmative
Action Plan within six months after contract award or
provide a development plan to meet the City' s goals.
5 . The City will institute a program to certify minority
businesses who meet the criteria of this Policy. The
program will verify the minority status of the
contractors and subcontractors selected under the policy
and will assist new minority businesses in obtaining
certification.
The City Manager of the City of Beaumont will be responsible for
administering these policies. A list of local minority business
enterprises will be maintained in the office of the City Manager
and the City Clerk and shall be available to all pesons desiring
such information. This list shall not be considered the sole
source for identification of potential minority business
enterprises.
