BRIDGEPORT, Conn., Oct. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The City of Bridgeport has partnered with Griffin & Strong (G&S) to conduct a Disparity Study to examine, analyze, and determine if there are disparities that may exist in municipal procurement based on race and/or gender. The Study will assess City spending from FY2019 to FY2023.
On September 10-11, 2024, the City and G&S hosted in-person Informational Meetings for all firms offering Construction Services or Construction Related Professional Services, as well as other interested individuals in the community.
To gather anecdotal evidence, the City invites all Construction and Construction-Related Professional Service businesses to participate in the upcoming virtual public hearings.
These public hearings offer businesses and community members the opportunity to provide feedback on their experiences doing business or attempting to do business with the City of Bridgeport. If firms have not attempted to do business with the City of Bridgeport, G&S would like to understand why not. All comments will be part of the public record and included in the Study's analysis, with participant identities kept confidential in the final report.
