In June 2015, the Task Force to Study Small and Minority Design Firm Participation in State Procurement was authorized (Chapter 12, Acts of 2015).
The Task Force considered whether regulations requiring all State contracts containing Minority Business Enterprise participation goals to include a liquidated damages provision make it more difficult for small architectural and engineering firms to bid on open-ended design contracts. Specific measures to ensure equitable participation in State-funded projects by small and minority design businesses were recommended by the Task Force.
Authorization for the Task Force ended May 31, 2016.
