:TC ► _ 0 /I LOCAL AND MINORITY PARTICIPATION CTC fully complies with guidelines regarding Local and Minority Participation. We have an established corporate policy regarding minority participation, which can be referenced in our Affirmative Action and M/WBE Policy at our offices unless otherwise requested. One of the major strengths of CTC is our ability to recognize the importance of utilizing local, qualified contractors. Depending on the time frame, and whether this is a standby, pre -disaster contract or an emergency situation, CTC uses procedures necessary to ensure the use of local contractors and personnel. In a non -emergency situation, we can place ads in the local newspapers, check with temporary services or state employment services. We also rely heavily on recommendations from the County commissioners or City officials in all situations. Emergency situations have prompted us to pull together with contracting agencies to recognize the strengths in their own communities. We appreciate the input provided by local officials in screening potential subcontractors and personnel. The ability of the commissioners or other local community officials to suggest or recommend those that meet all requirements for experience, equipment and insurance qualifications is a benefit in the successful operation and completion of projects of any size or scope. Based upon the availability of qualified minority personnel in the area we strive to meet or exceed the normal requirements for this event. As an integral part of the contract, we establish contacts with several local, 8A and minority companies. We intend to use the services of qualified, local personnel to fill positions as needed and upon recommendation of the contracting agency. All local and minority personnel will be screened to meet the requirements, including licensing and insurance requirements of CTC, Inc. We also include listings of Certified M/WBE Contractors as are available and which provides updated information for this project. CTC has committed minority contractors who have performed on CTC contracts over the past several years. We use the recommended channels to further investigate the availability, the experience, and the reputation of each local and/or minority contractor to serve the best interest of the contracting agency. Due to the nature of the business, CTC relies heavily on the utilization of state personnel agencies, local private placement agencies and temporary services. We also use the services of the local Small Business Administration (SBA) office when available and local trade organizations. Our goals as stated in our Affirmative Action Policy are traditionally greater than those of most contract requirements. Additionally, the types of personnel required and their interest in the project varies from location to location. Page 55 of 87
