Policy Statement

It is the policy of the City of Atlanta to actively promote full and equal business opportunities for minority and female business enterprises through the City of Atlanta's Equal Business Opportunity (EBO) Program. It is also the policy of the City of Atlanta to actively promote equal employment opportunities for minority and female workers through the City's Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Program. The purpose of the Equal Business Opportunity and Equal Employment Opportunity programs is to mitigate the present and ongoing effects of the past and present discrimination against women and minority-owned businesses and women and minority workers so that opportunity, regardless of race or gender, will become institutionalized in the Atlanta marketplace.

It is important to note that all bidders, without exception, including minority and female-owned business enterprises, must comply with the City of Atlanta's EBO and EEO Program requirements.
