It is the policy of the city to take affirmative action to assure that a fair share of city purchases of goods and services, including construction work, is made from enterprises owned and controlled by minorities and women. As part of this policy the city undertakes to assure there are no undue or unnecessary requirements imposed by the city that inhibit or prevent purchases of goods and services from business that are otherwise qualified to provide such goods and services. It is further city policy to impose similar affirmative action upon prime contractors providing goods and services to the city with regard to subcontractors involved in such work to assure a fair share of business for minority and women's business enterprises. The Mayor shall implement the policies and procedures set out in this article.
