Summary: The objective of the disparity study is to have statistically reliable data relevant to each agency to validate its M/WBE program and ensure the programs are defensible in court, if challenged. The Consultant conducted three separate disparity studies (the County, Cook County Health and Hospitals System, and the Forest Preserve District) whereby the consultant collected, researched and analyzed the data gathered. The additional time requested is for the consultant to finalize these reports.
This is a Comparable Government Procurement pursuant to Section 34-140 of the Procurement Code. Colette Holt was previously awarded a contract by the State of Illinois through a competitive Request for Proposals process.
