Each year the City spends millions of dollars contracting for the delivery of products and services from private sector contractors. The prudent expenditure of public dollars requires that the City’s procurement process result in the selection of qualified and responsible contractors who have the capability to perform the contract. This includes, but is not limited to, contractors who demonstrate responsibility with respect to Employees by following all federal, state and City wage and labor laws, including but not limited to the Los Angeles Minimum Wage Ordinance, Los Angeles Municipal Code, Article 7, of Chapter XVIII or the Los Angeles Municipal Code, Article 8 of Chapter XVIII. Further, many lessees or licensees of City property perform services that affect the proprietary interests of City government in that their performance impacts the success of City operations. The City also provides financial assistance and funding to others for a variety of purposes. The City expends grant funds under programs created by federal and state government. The City intends that the procurement procedures set forth in this article guide the expenditure of federal and state grant funds to the extent permitted by federal or state procurement regulations.
