Miss Johnson, you asked for Res to review this. Oh comment on it. Thank you. So this is um regarding a a contract. I wanted to ask about the the CBI goals. So according to this, the contract goals were not established on this contract because there were no certified MWSBEs available to provide the products for the contract.
Vi Lyles 2:18
So I have a question about the process and the the uh outreach. I wanted to know if fire Contact d do the departments contact CBI when these RFPs are going to be
Maria (Unknown) 2:36
Yes, ma'am. And there's a formal requirement. I believe y'all instituted it several years ago, but anything um even ten thousand above we reach out specifically. So before there's always been a requirement for the larger, but I believe y'all instituted even ten thousand, which is informal. We get multiple quotes and we reach out to um certified vendors even for that.
Vi Lyles 3:00
So the actual departments that are requesting the the RFPs reach out to C B I or who reaches out to C B I
Maria (Unknown) 3:06
