Public Works Contracting Disparity Study
Overview of the Study
The City of Madison Public Works Contracting Disparity Study analyzed whether there is a level playing field for minority- and women-owned firms when competing for City public works contracts and subcontracts. The study assessed what the City might do to increase opportunities for minority- and women-owned firms in the Dane County construction industry. This research will help the City determine if its Small Business Enterprise Program is effective for including minority- and women-owned businesses or whether other measures are needed.
