BWSC, acting through its Board of Commissioners, has adopted a Policy on the Utilization of Minority Business Enterprises (MBE's) and Women's Business Enterprises (WBE's) requiring that affirmative action be taken to ensure that MBE's and WBE's are used by BWSC in a more equitable manner.

The goals for the award of eligible contract dollars are established by BWSC and are based upon the findings of a disparity study conducted by National Economic Research Associates, 公司. These goals will be measured in the aggregate during each fiscal year for contracts awarded by BWSC for commodities and services, and on a contract by contract basis for contracts awarded by BWSC for construction services.

• The goals set for Professional Services are: MBE 15% and WBE 6%
• The goals set for Construction Services are: MBE 9% and WBE 6%

BWSC recognizes the importance of successful Affirmative Action 项目 to the continued growth and vitality of the City of Boston and will use its best efforts in meeting these goals. The Boston Water and Sewer Commission is an equal opportunity employer.   Women- and Minority-Owned Businesses are encouraged to participate.

IFB’s are divided into two categories: goods and non-professional services, and construction projects. The IFB process is initiated by advertisement in local newspapers or journals, followed by submission of bids, public bid opening and award of contract.

• Overall responsiveness of the proposal
• Quality and experience of the firm and key personnel

• Financial stability and ability to meet BWSC’s affirmative action standards

建议 must be submitted within the time and date specified. Any proposals received after the time and date will not be accepted. 建议 sent via facsimile will not be accepted. 建议 shall not be opened publicly but shall be opened in the presence of one or more witnesses. The proposal contents shall be kept confidential and not disclosed to competing offerors until the evaluation process is completed and BWSC executes the contract.
