Disadvantaged Business and Local Business Enterprises

It is the Policy of the Authority that Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs) shall have the maximum feasible opportunity to participate in the performance of contracts financed in whole or in part with Authority funds. The Authority and its employees shall not discriminate on the basis of race, national origin, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age, or disability in the award and performance of Authority contracts.

The public interest is served by encouraging businesses to locate and remain in San Francisco . However, the cost of doing business in San Francisco is approximately 15% higher than in surrounding communities. Accordingly, the Authority shall offset the economic disadvantages faced by Local Business Enterprises (LBEs), which are not experienced by businesses outside the City, and allow a 5% bid discount or rating bonus to LBEs. Such preference shall not exclude any potential contractor from submitting a bid.
