This document is an Equal Business Opportunity (EBO) Plan Application from the City of Jackson, Mississippi, specifically from the Department of Planning and Development's Office of Economic Development. The file contains detailed specifications for clay gravel and wash gravel procurement, with an estimated usage of 35,000 tons of Clay Gravel/Class A-Group C and 24,000 tons of Wash Gravel for the contract term. The procurement will be awarded to a Primary Supplier, 1st Alternate Supplier, and 2nd Alternate Supplier, with a cascading selection process if the primary supplier cannot provide the required materials.

The document emphasizes the City of Jackson's commitment to non-discrimination in public contracting, with a specific focus on promoting equal business opportunities for Minority Business Enterprises (MBEs) and Female Business Enterprises (FBEs). The gravel specifications include detailed requirements for material composition, sourcing, and intended uses, such as pipe bedding, driveway topping, concrete applications, and other infrastructure projects. The Equal Business Opportunity Ordinance requires all contractors, bidders, and offerors to submit a completed and signed EBO Plan Application with their bid submission, with failure to comply potentially resulting in disqualification from contract consideration.
