This bulletin rescinds Administrative Bulletin 75-14, dated December 2, 1975, and puts into effect a new Administrative Bulletin, which gives guidance on implementation of equal opportunity, non-discrimination, and affirmative action program participation goals for state construction contracts and state-assisted construction contracts.
It is the policy of the Commonwealth to include language in all state construction contracts and state assisted construction contracts setting forth the participation goals of minority and women workers to be employed on each such contract and provisions setting forth processes and procedures to ensure compliance with those workforce participation goals, including reporting and enforcement provisions.
Each agency administering such contracts should note that the participation goals are neither floors nor ceilings, but shall be used to measure progress in meeting the Commonwealth's equal opportunity, non-discrimination and affirmative action program on state and state-assisted construction contracts.
