STRATEGY 1.2 Energy focused Requests for Proposals should contain language indicating a preference to work with a HUB or an MWBE. STRATEGY 2.2 The Minority and Women Business

STATUS: Initiated

The OSR staff have gained access to an array of datasets and mapping tools which will be used to identify impacted and vulnerable communities within Greensboro in order to target education, outreach, and assistance efforts. The OSR will aim to apply principles of the Justice40 Initiative in implementing the SEP.

Enterprise (MWBE) Office will offer workshops on how to obtain HUB/ MWBE Certification.

STATUS: Initiated

The OSR developed a Request for Proposals (RFP) for contractors to provide energy audits and recommendations for energy conservation measures in selected City buildings that are its largest energy consumers. The work will be done in compliance with ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers) standards and state and federal requirements. This process will include a team of City representatives including a member from the MWBE office to ensure an equitable process is performed.
