AURORA, Colo., Aug. 20, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The City of Aurora, CO ("City") has engaged Griffin & Strong, P.C. ("GSPC") to conduct a Disparity Study to determine whether there is a significant statistical disparity between the availability of qualified, willing, and able minorities, women, and disadvantaged firms and the utilization of such businesses by the City.
The Disparity Study will gather information necessary to determine whether all qualified firms have the maximum practicable opportunity to compete for and participate in the City's procurement of prime contracts and associated subcontracts and, if indicated by the evidence, will support the use of strategies to ensure such opportunities.
In the interest of preserving public health amidst COVID-19 concerns, Griffin & Strong, P.C., a law and public policy consulting firm, will conduct two virtual public hearings on behalf of the City. Community members are invited to share their experiences, both positive and negative, doing business with, or pursuing business with the City of Aurora, CO.
We encourage your participation and look forward to your feedback on how the City can improve diverse representation in public contracting. As a part of the public record, all comments will be recorded and may be used as anecdotal evidence for the Disparity Study.
