All contractors and awardees must submit and abide by a Minority/Women-Owned Business Enterprise (M/WBE) Utilization Plan acceptable to HCR. If the general contractor is not certified as a Minority- or Women-Owned Business Enterprise, the bid must include a Utilization Plan that lists the subcontractors, with 20% of the total project budget for Minority-Owned Business Enterprise(s) and 10% for WomenOwned Business Enterprise(s). In order to be considered certified as an M/WBE, the business enterprise must be listed on the NYS M/WBE directory.
