Background:
|
The Contract Compliance Services’ Annual Report was commissioned to examine the impacts and outcomes of Administrative Policies 3.09, Purchasing and Bidding Requirements; 3.10, Historically Underutilized Business Program; and 3.13, Communities in Need Initiative, where contract requirements are assigned to district bids, exceptions to bid, and requests for proposals.
The report provides the Milwaukee Board of School Directors, the Milwaukee Public Schools Administration, and their constituents with performance summaries related to the Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUB), Communities in Need (COIN), and student-engagement programs. Moreover, these figures represent benchmarks for the future as we assess and align goals and objectives aimed at the District’s efforts toward economic development, workforce development, and diversity inclusion.
Contracts monitored by CCS have resulted in increased outcomes for historically underutilized businesses, bringing the District closer to its annual goal of 25%. Additionally, constituents benefitted from increased workforce hours on Facility and Maintenance Service projects through the COIN initiative, and MPS students have experienced exponential growth rates of employment opportunities, with a record high of 30,780 employment hours assigned in FY16, thus providing real-world paid workforce experiences to our young people.
Process improvements continue to incorporate the District’s strategic goals to anticipate market demands and fluctuations while upholding fiduciary responsibility to the community it serves, providing a three-year, over-year comparison involving the aforementioned administrative policies.
