This document is an Equal Business Opportunity (EBO) Plan Application from the City of Jackson, Mississippi, designed to promote participation of Minority and Female Business Enterprises (MBE/FBE) in city contracts. The application outlines detailed requirements for prime contractors to engage and utilize minority-owned and female-owned businesses as subcontractors, suppliers, or joint venture partners across various procurement categories including A/E & Professional Services, Construction, and Goods & Non-Professional Services.

The document specifies that MBE/FBE participation can be credited towards contract goals, with different percentage allocations for manufacturers, wholesalers, and suppliers. Prime contractors must make good faith efforts to divide work into economically feasible units, solicit participation from minority businesses, provide written documentation of outreach efforts, and seek waivers if unable to meet participation goals. The application requires detailed documentation including company information, proposed minority/female business enterprise firms, percentage of participation, dollar values, and a certification of intent to utilize listed MBE/FBE firms if awarded the contract. The Equal Business Opportunity Review Committee (EBORC) will review and approve all MBE/FBE replacements and participation.
