The District requires an Inclusion Plan demonstrating aspirational goals of 10% minority-owned business, 6% women-owned business, and 5% small business participation and reserves the right to award Project A independently, Project B independently, both projects to the same bidder, or the projects to separate bidders based on lowest total cost.
