ROCKFORD PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 205
MINORITY, WOMEN and DISABLED-OWNED BUSINESS CONCERN REPRESENTATION
Minority-Owned Business: a minority-owned business concern means a business concern that: (1) is at least 51 percent unconditionally owned by one or more individuals who are considered to be a member of a minority group, or a publicly owned business having at least 51 percent of its stock unconditionally owned by one or more members of a minority group; and (2) has its management and daily business controlled and operated by one or more such individuals. Individuals who certify that they are members of minority groups (African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans, Asian-Pacific Americans, Asian-Indian Americans, and other minorities) are to be considered minority-owned enterprises.
Women-Owned Business: a business that is at least 51 percent owned by a woman or women who also control and operate it.
Disabled Owned Business: a business that is at least 51 percent owned by a person or persons with severe physical or mental disabilities which substantially limits one or more of the person’s major life activities and which person or persons control and operate such business.
“Control” in this referenced context means exercising the power to make policy decisions. “Operate” means being actively involved in the day- to-day management of the business.
The District shall rely on written representations of concerns regarding their status as minority/women/disabled-owned businesses. Offeror agrees to submit information regarding the minority ownership of its subcontractors on request of District.
