WHEREAS, the North Carolina General Assembly enacted Session Law 2001– 496, Senate Bill 914 to enhance and improve the good faith efforts to recruit and select minority businesses for participation in public building construction or repair contracts by adding N.C.G.S. 143-128.2; and

WHEREAS, N.C.G.S. 143-128.2 requires each city, county, or other local public entity to adopt, after notice and a public hearing, an appropriate verifiable percentage goal for participation by minority businesses in the total value of work for building projects costing $300,000 or more; and

WHEREAS, N.C.G.S. 143-128.2(b) requires a public entity awarding a building contract where the total cost equals or exceeds $300,000 to establish, prior to solicitation of bids, good faith efforts that it will take to make it feasible for minority businesses to submit successful bids or proposals for the contracts for building projects; and

WHEREAS, N.C.G.S. 143-128.2(e)(1) requires a public entity awarding a building construction or repair contract where the total cost exceeds $300,000, prior to awarding a contract, to develop and implement a minority business participation outreach plan; and
