RE: FINAL WRITTEN REPORT TO STATE OF ILLINOIS EXECUTIVE ETHICS COMMISSION I. Introduction
The State of Illinois Executive Ethics Commission (“the State”) entered into a contract with the law firm of Quintairos, Prieto, Wood & Boyer, P.A. (“QPWB”) to provide consulting services for procurement diversity. There are four primary goals to be achieved under the contract:
• Draft administrative rules to implement the Request for Proposal (RFP) Commitment to Diversity requirement as outlined in the Illinois Procurement Code (30 ILCS 500/20-15) and (30 ILCS 500/35-30(a);
• Draft a minimum of six (6) new objective elements that can be scored under RFP Commitment to Diversity and prepare a rubric that will guide evaluators on how best to score the recommended elements;
• Provide justification and supporting evidence, including caselaw where the element was challenged, that the selected Commitment to Diversity elements best represent a firm’s commitment to diversity; and

2 • Draft and format the RFP template instructions for Commitment to Diversity.

3 B. Contract Performance (Research)
Below is a summary of the resources that we have reviewed for information in this Report regarding:
two additional elements that the State should include in RFPs as a scorable evaluation of a firm’s commitment to diversity; justification and evidence explaining why the proposed elements are best at demonstrating a firm’s commitment to diversity; Scoring; and proposed administrative rules The resources that we have evaluated include, but are not limited to, the following:
• We reviewed publicly available supplier diversity information from more than 100 National Minority Supplier Development Council member corporations1. After several weeks of comprehensive research, we have learned that there is not a lot of publicly available information regarding their supplier diversity programs and/or their initiatives to advance diversity. As a result, we reached out to supplier diversity officials at each of these companies, on a weekly basis, to request and obtain: any primary source documents about their supplier diversity programs and initiatives; any website or other resources which might have information about their supplier diversity program and initiatives; and to obtain any related diversity information that they may be willing to provide us. • We reviewed secondary sources, including news media, journals and studies for information related to each proposed element and factor to help explain why the proposed elements are best at determining a firm’s commitment to diversity. We have included this information as part of the justification and evidence to support the elements and factors. • We researched and analyzed caselaw related to the proposed elements and factors. We specified the relevant caselaw, including the applicable citations. We also summarized certain court cases where the government’s use of commitment to diversity elements was challenged.
• We reviewed supplier diversity or minority/women business enterprise (MBE/WBE) programs in the public sector. We reviewed publicly available information from each state, the largest (by population) fifty cities, and the largest (by population) fifty counties in the United States.
• We reviewed the MBE/WBE Disparity Studies from the State of Illinois2, State of New York3, Cook County4 and the City of Chicago5(“disparity studies”). Based on established caselaw, these disparity studies include statistical evidence to determine whether there is a disparity between the availability of MBE/WBEs and the government’s utilization of these firms as prime contractors and/or subcontractors. A disparity between the utilization and availability of MBE/WBEs may raise an inference of discriminatory exclusion6. Where gross statistical disparities can be shown, they alone in a proper case may constitute prima facie proof of a pattern or practice of discrimination. Id.
• We prioritized the recommendations in the study for the State of Illinois, although the disparity studies have similar information. Our review of these disparity studies focused on two parts: the various caselaw challenging the constitutionality of MBE/WBE Programs

1 https://nmsdc.org/corporate-membership/corporate-members 2 The State of Illinois, Department of Central Management Services Disparity Study (2015) 3 The State of New York, MWBE Disparity Study (2017)
4 Cook County, Illinois, Disparity Study (2015)
5 The City of Chicago, Disparity Study for Construction Contracts (2021) 6 City of Richmond v. J.A. Croson Co., 488 U.S. 469, 109 S. Ct. 706, 102 L. Ed. 2d 854 (1989)

4 nationwide; and the caselaw promoting the use of race-neutral measures (i.e., initiatives or programs) that are, or can be, used to assist all small businesses, without making distinctions or classifications on the basis of race, ethnicity or gender. Many of the elements and factors that we recommend to the State are consistent with established caselaw, as cited and proposed in one or more of the disparity studies.
• Race-neutral measures are a necessary component of a defensible and effective race and gender conscious program7 and the failure to seriously consider such remedies has been fatal to several programs8. The requirement that an agency must meet the maximum feasible portion of the goal through race-neutral measures, as well as estimate that portion of the goal it predicts will be met through such measures has been central to the holdings that the DBE regulations meet narrow tailoring9. However, strict scrutiny does not require that every race-neutral approach must be implemented and then proven ineffective before race-conscious remedies may be utilized10.

C. Written Report
This memorandum is our final written report and it includes the following information:
i. Additional elements that the State should include in RFPs as a scorable evaluation of a firm’s commitment to diversity
ii. Justification and evidence explaining why the proposed elements are best at determining a firm’s commitment to diversity
iii. Scoring elements
iv. Administrative rules
v. Suggested next steps for the State of Illinois
This report begins by introducing the background information for this assignment. In the introduction we outline the written report, including the contract term schedule, research, written report, and the summary.

The extensive research conducted by our firm is the culmination of all our outreach efforts to public agencies and private companies, and review of journals, new articles, white papers, statistical data, disparity studies and several cases. With this information, we developed a list of elements and evaluation factors that the State can use to evaluate an offerors’ commitment to diversity.

We recommend a total of ten (10) elements to the State which include two additional elements that are justified in this report. Each element has evaluation factors that can be used by the State to evaluate and score the element.

5 The section of this written report that discusses the justification and evidence states the legal basis or reasoning for why we recommend each element and factor. The justification may include caselaw, data and/or other evidence that we found in our research, including applicable governmental (i.e., federal, State, City of Chicago and Cook County) regulations, laws, policies and disparity studies governing current DBE or MBE/WBE programs and initiatives, as well as current or recent supplier diversity initiatives of private companies.

This report includes a scoring matrix that the State can utilize to evaluate the commitment to diversity of each offeror that submits a proposal to the State which has diversity requirements. The scoring matrix provides specific guidance to State evaluators on how to score each of the commitment to diversity elements.

This report ends with suggested next steps by the State to implement our recommendations to significantly advance diversity statewide and a brief summary.

II. Additional Elements and Factors that the State should include in RFPs as a Scorable Evaluation of a Firm’s Commitment to Diversity

1. Whether the offeror has written policies to conduct business with veteranowned businesses and LGBTQ business enterprises. a. Whether the offeror has written policies to conduct business with veteranowned businesses. b. Whether the offeror has written policies to conduct business with LGBTQ businesses enterprises.

2. Whether the offeror has written policies to conduct business with local businesses and employ local persons from the communities where they conduct business or perform work.
a. Whether the offeror conducts business with local businesses where they conduct business or perform work.
b. Whether the offeror employs local persons from the communities where they conduct business or perform work.

III. Justification and Evidence Explaining Why the Proposed Additional Elements are Best at Determining a Firm’s Commitment to Diversity
A. Whether the offeror has written policies to conduct business with veteran-owned businesses and LGBTQ business enterprises.

The justification for this element is in: 1) the caselaw upholding veteran owned business programs, as reflected in the federal Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (“VOSB”) and ServiceDisabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (“SDVOSB”) certifications11; 2) the caselaw upholding veteran owned business programs, as reflected in the State’s Veterans Business Program (“VBP”) 12; 3) the caselaw upholding veteran owned business programs, as reflected in Cook County’s Veteran Owned Businesses (“VBEs”) and Service connected disabled

11 38 CFR Part 74
12 https://cei.illinois.gov/veterans-business-program.html

6 Veteran Owned Businesses (“SDVBEs”) certifications13; 4) the caselaw upholding veteran owned business programs, as reflected in the City of Chicago’s Veteran Owned Business Certification (“VBE”) 14; and 5) primary and secondary sources.

Offerors that have written policies to conduct business with veteran-owned business and LGBTQ business enterprises demonstrate a commitment to diversity.

1. Whether the offeror has written policies to conduct business with veteranowned businesses.

The justification for this element is in: 1) the caselaw upholding veteran owned business programs, as reflected in the federal Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (“VOSB”) and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (“SDVOSB”) programs15; 2) the caselaw upholding veteran owned business programs, as reflected in the State’s Veterans Business Program (“VBP”)16; 3) the caselaw upholding veteran owned business programs, as reflected in Cook County’s Veteran Owned Businesses (“VBEs”) and Service connected disabled Veteran Owned Businesses (“SDVBEs”) certifications17; 4) the caselaw upholding veteran owned business programs, as reflected in the City of Chicago’s Veteran Owned Business Certification (“VBE”) 18; and 5) primary and secondary sources.

The federal government awards a portion of contracting dollars specifically to businesses owned by veterans on an annual basis19. Small businesses owned by veterans may be eligible to purchase surplus property from the federal government.

Id. Small businesses owned by veterans can also compete for set-aside contracts at the Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”). Id. Through its Veterans First Contracting program, the VA awards a significant number of contracts to veterans every year by offering them set-aside contract opportunities. Id. The VA also sets aside contracting opportunities for businesses owned by veterans who are service-disabled. Id.

Businesses must be formally verified as a VBE to participate in the Veterans First Contracting program.

VBEs have long been recognized and included in government procurement, including the VBE program of the State of Illinois which assists certified service disabled and veteran-owned businesses to participate in the competitive procurement process and gain access to State contracting opportunities20. In order to qualify for the State’s VBE certification, a business must meet the following eligibility criteria:
• At least 51 percent owned by one or more qualified service-disabled veteran or veterans
• living in Illinois (Public Act 097-0260, Public Act 098-0307) • have valid DD214

7 • have annual gross sales of less than $75 million
• have its home office in Illinois
Cook County offers a 5% bid preference to Cook County certified Veteran Owned Businesses (“VBEs”) and Service Connected Disabled Veteran Owned Businesses (“SDVBEs”)21. The County also extends this bid preference to State certified VOSBs and SDVOSBs. Id.

The City of Chicago has a number of programs, incentives and certifications for VBEs to participate in City contracting including:
• Veteran/small business JV bid incentive – 5% for eligible joint ventures and small, local, veteran-owned businesses
• Veteran-owned subcontractor bid incentive – up to 2% for utilization of veteran-owned subcontractors
• Service-disabled veteran-owned businesses can also apply to be certified as a Business Enterprises Owned or Operated by People with Disabilities (BEPD)
• Listing in City of Chicago Certified Firms Directory
The City’s VBE certification can be obtained by small and local businesses that are owned and operated by veterans who have been generally or honorably discharged22. In order to participate in City veteran business programs or incentives, veteran-owned businesses must be VBE certified by the City. Id.

According to The U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”), veteran business owners account for 6.1% (351,237) of all U.S. employer businesses and employ approximately 4 million workers23. Census Bureau’s Non-Employer Statistics by Demographics (NES-D) data find that approximately 6% of receipts from all nonemployer firms are from veteran-owned firms. Veteran entrepreneurship is a major contributor to the nation’s economy, and for several years, the Office of Advocacy has produced research highlighting their contributions. Id.

In 2017, JPMorgan Chase announced a $4.2 Million Investment to Support Veteran Small Business Owners24. The investment benefits Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs), Main Street Launch (California), Carolina Small Business Development Fund (North Carolina, South Carolina and Florida), and PeopleFund (Texas), which provide loans to veterans who are seeking to start or grow their own businesses. Id. JPMorgan also renewed its partnership with Bunker Labs to support its mission to provide veteran entrepreneurs with the tools and resources they need to succeed. Id.

Offerors that have written policies to conduct business with veteran-owned business demonstrate a commitment to diversity.

8 2. Whether the offeror has written policies to conduct business with LGBTQ businesses enterprises.

The justification for this element is in primary and secondary sources which reflects increased support for LGBTQ Owned Business Procurement Programs throughout the nation.

The SBA’s Network for LGBTQ+ Businesses seeks to bring focus on economic empowerment in the LGBTQ+ business community by providing a number of programs and incentives access to SBA programs and services to LGBTQ+ individuals25. LGBTQ business owners can use local SBA offices and resources, as well as obtain information about the SBA 8(a) Business Development Program. Id.

Several SBA District Offices have a strategic alliance with the LGBTQ+ business community which include the:
• Greater Houston LGBT Chamber of Commerce
• Greater Seattle Business Association
• La Camera de Comercio LGBTTQ de Puerto Rico
• Nashville LGBT Chamber of Commerce
• Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce
• Wisconsin LGBT Chamber of Commerce
LGBTQ business enterprises are gaining greater recognition and support in government procurement. For example, the City of Chicago26 has joined a number of other cities, including Nashville, TN; Long Beach, CA; and Jersey City, N.J., that have recently changed their supplier diversity programs to include LGBTQ vendors27.

In 2020, The City of Chicago passed a Resolution acknowledging LGBT-Owned Business Enterprises (LGBTBEs) and their contributions to Chicago’s economy and residents28. The Resolution aims to identify business development opportunities for LGBTBEs and promote opportunities for them to participate in the City’s procurement process. Id.

The City Resolution identifies several actions that that will be undertaken by the City’s Department of Procurement Services (DPS) to encourage the participation of LGBTBEs in City procurement. Id. These actions include developing methods to conduct or facilitate technical assistance and training programs to increase the potential for successful bidding on City projects, as well as maintaining a clearinghouse of information on available programs and services. Id. In addition, DPS will partner with LGBT-focused Assistance Agencies to further the goal of increasing LGBT participation in City procurement. Id. The LGBT Chamber of Commerce (LGBTCC) is a registered City of Chicago Assist Agency which has collaborated with DPS on several initiatives to build awareness about LGBT businesses. The LGBTCC

9 shares information with its members about City contract opportunities and business resources. Id.

Recently, Major League Baseball (“MLB”) has announced a partnership with the National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC) to help certified LGBT businesses become official suppliers for the MLB for the first time ever29. The announcement was the focus of the MLB’s recent business diversity summit and was discussed during panel discussions and workshops during the event. Id.

Offerors that have written policies to conduct business LGBTQ business enterprises demonstrate a commitment to diversity.

B. Whether the offeror has written policies to conduct business with local businesses and employ local persons from the communities where they conduct business or perform work.

The justification for this element is supported by: 1) The federal “Buy American Act”30; 2) Illinois statues which give procurement preference to Illinois businesses over out of state businesses31; and 3) various local-based business incentives and preferences given in local governments within the State32.

Offerors that have written policies to conduct business with local businesses from the communities where they conduct business or perform work and/or employ local persons from those communities demonstrate a commitment to diversity.

1. Whether the offeror has written policies to conduct business with local businesses from the communities where they conduct business or perform work.

The justification for this element is supported by: 1) The federal “Buy American Act”33; 2) Illinois statues which give procurement preference to Illinois businesses over out of state businesses34; and 3) local-based business incentives and preferences given in local governments within the State35.

The Buy American Act requires Federal agencies to procure domestic materials and products. Two conditions must be present for the Buy American Act to apply: (1) the procurement must be intended for public use within the United States; and (2) the

10 items to be procured or the materials from which they are manufactured must be present in the United States in sufficient and reasonably available commercial quantities of a satisfactory quality36. The provisions of the act may be waived if the head of the procuring agency determines the act to be inconsistent with the public interest or the cost of acquiring the domestic product is unreasonable. Contracts awarded by State and local authorities under the Federal grant programs are not covered by the act unless authorizing statutes explicitly provide for application of the act.

On March 7, 2022, the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council promulgated a final rule aimed at increasing federal government preferences for goods and construction materials that are domestically manufactured and increasing the required domestic content threshold for purchases governed by the Buy American Act37. Government contractors that sell products to the federal government should review their supply chain, sourcing, and manufacturing processes to ensure continued domestic sourcing compliance under the final rule. Id. The Biden administration’s stated goal is to ensure “that when the federal government spends taxpayer dollars they are spent on American-made goods by American workers and with American-made component parts”. Id.

Local preferences and incentives include the State’s preference to local small businesses38. Whenever a contract is to be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder or offeror, a resident bidder or offeror shall be allowed a preference as against a non-resident bidder or offeror from any state that gives or requires a preference to bidders or offerors from that state39. The preference is equal to the preference given or required by the state of the non-resident bidder or offeror. Id.

In the case that only non-resident bidders or offerors are bidding, the purchasing agency is within its right to specify that Illinois labor and manufacturing locations be used as a part of the manufacturing process, if applicable. Id. In addition to local preferences and incentives on State contracts, municipalities throughout the state, have local preferences and incentives, including the City of Chicago, Rockford40, Aurora41, and Naperville42.

Offerors that have written policies to conduct business with local businesses from the communities where they conduct business or perform work demonstrate a commitment to diversity.

11 2. Whether the offeror has written policies to employ local persons from the communities where they conduct business or perform work.

The justification for this element is supported by: 1) The federal “Buy American Act”43; 2) Illinois statues which give procurement preference to Illinois businesses over out of state businesses44; and 3) local-based business incentives and preferences given in local governments within the State45.

As previously indicated, The Buy American Act requires Federal agencies to procure domestic materials and products46. Two conditions must be present for the Buy American Act to apply: (1) the procurement must be intended for public use within the United States; and (2) the items to be procured or the materials from which they are manufactured must be present in the United States in sufficient and reasonably available commercial quantities of a satisfactory quality. Id. The provisions of the act may be waived if the head of the procuring agency determines the act to be inconsistent with the public interest or the cost of acquiring the domestic product is unreasonable. Id. Contracts awarded by State and local authorities under the Federal grant programs are not covered by the act unless authorizing statutes explicitly provide for application of the act. Id.

The City of Chicago, specifically, has an ordinance called the McLaughlin Ordinance which establishes a minimum number of hours to be performed by City Residents as well as a minimum number of hours to be performed by Project Area residents47.

The Ordinance defines “City residents” as persons domiciled within the City of Chicago and "Project Area residents" as persons domiciled within that part of the city designated as the Project Area in the information for bidders issued by the Department of Procurement Services ("DPS"). Id.

The McLaughlin Ordinance provides that for any construction project advertised or awarded by the City that has an estimated contract value of $100,000 or more, and where not otherwise prohibited by federal, state or local law, the total hours worked by persons on the site of the construction project by employees of the contractor and subcontractors must be performed (i) at least 50% by City Residents; and (ii) at least 7.5 percent by Project Area residents. Id. Work hours performed by Project Area residents must be considered to be work hours performed by City Residents for purposes of calculating the minimum work hour percentage required to be performed by City Residents. Id.

The City’s McLaughlin Ordinance requires City bidders to employ local (ie, City residents and/or project area residents) persons from the communities where they conduct business or perform work. Id. The commitment to diversity of City bidders is determined, in part, by their employment of local persons on construction

12 projects that have an estimated contract value of $100,000. Id. City bidders that are required to hire local persons from the communities where they conduct business or perform work tend to hire more local persons and stimulate economic development in those communities. Id.

Offerors that have written policies to employ local persons from the communities where they conduct business or perform work demonstrate a commitment to diversity.

IV. Scoring Elements
We prepared a scoring matrix for the State to evaluate and score each proposed element48. The scoring matrix lists each element along the left column, and each factor moving right down a row from the element it evaluates. Id. Underneath each factor is the maximum score that can be given for compliance to that factor. Id. To the far right of each element is a total box, where the scores for each factor should be totaled to determine the score for the element in question. Id. After each factor has been evaluated and each element has been scored, all scores should be combined for a total score for the offeror’s overall commitment to diversity. Id.

It should be noted that each of the proposed elements and factors has been weighted based on its relative importance when compared to the other evaluation elements and factors. While each of the proposed elements and factors is important to determining an offeror’s commitment to diversity, some are deemed more important and may be given greater priority than others, as reflected by the proposed point allocations that we have specified.

V. Administrative Rules
a. Whether or how well the offeror on the solicitation being evaluated, met the goal of contracting or subcontracting with businesses owned by women, minorities, or persons with disabilities
b. The percentage of prior year spend of the offeror that involve businesses owned by women, minorities, or persons with disabilities
c. Whether the offeror has a written supplier diversity program, including, but not limited to, use of diverse vendors in the supply chain
d. Whether the offeror has a program to assist, develop, train and/or mentor businesses owned by women, minorities, or persons with disabilities e. Whether the offeror has an affirmative action program which describes their efforts to recruit, screen, select, pay equitably, and promote diverse individuals who are employed or affiliated with the offeror
f. Whether the offeror has a business development program to assist businesses owned by women, minorities, or persons with disabilities to develop and successfully compete

48 See Exhibit 1

13 g. Whether the offeror has relationships with Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), other diverse institutions and/or their diverse students to help them achieve their educational, future employment and/or business goals
h. Whether the offeror has engaged in activities during the past year that promote and/or support diverse communities and families
i. Whether the offeror has written policies to conduct business with veteran-owned businesses and LGBTQ business enterprises.
j. Whether the offeror has written policies to conduct business with local businesses and employ local persons from the communities where they conduct business or perform work.

VI. RFP Commitment to Diversity Section
We prepared a draft RFP Commitment to Diversity Section49. We modified the current RFP Commitment to Diversity language so that it is consistent with our recommendations. Id. Section B.3 has been updated to include our proposed elements, and Section II has been updated to include our proposed elements and evaluation factors. Id. Unlike the current Section, we recommend that a comprehensive, notarized RFP Commitment to Diversity Form be drafted by the State and included in RFPS with diversity requirements for offerors to complete, notarize and submit with their proposals. This form should have clear instructions to offerors and a checklist of required supporting documentation.

VII. Suggested Next Steps for the State of Illinois
We propose the following next steps that would be necessary for the State to implement the proposed elements and evaluation factors:
1) Providing additional definition and guidance for each of the factors. We recommend that the State provide additional information for each of the factors to provide more guidance to the persons who evaluate and score the commitment to diversity forms and required supporting documentation. This guidance will level the playing field by facilitating more objective, consistent, and equitable evaluations by the State. 2) Drafting a comprehensive RFP Commitment to Diversity form/questionnaire with a document checklist. As previously stated, we recommend that a comprehensive, notarized RFP Commitment to Diversity Form be drafted by the State and included in RFPs with diversity requirements for offerors to complete, notarize and submit with their proposals.

This form should have clear instructions to offerors and a checklist of required supporting documentation.
3) Preparing instructions/guidance for the Scoring Matrix document. We recommend that the State prepares a document that includes detailed instructions with specific examples for State agencies. The instructions will provide additional guidance to evaluators on how to use the Commitment to Diversity Scoring Matrix to evaluate and score commitments to diversity from offerors. The instructions would also enable all State agencies to use the Scoring Matrix in the same way, which would facilitate more objective, consistent and equitable evaluations by the State.

49 See Exhibit 2

14 4) Preparing a memorandum which summarized the applicable caselaw. We recommend that the State prepares a comprehensive and organized legal memorandum, which includes relevant caselaw in Illinois, that summarizes and analyzes relevant laws based on legal research to support each of our proposed elements and factors. 5) Preparing training materials and training key State administrators regarding the Commitment to Diversity RFP evaluation process and related forms/documents. We recommend that the State prepares training materials and train the evaluators from each agency who are expected to evaluate and score commitments to diversity from offerors. The training will help the evaluators to better understand each element and factor, help facilitate their consistent use of the Scoring Matrix within and across agencies, and will promote objective, consistent and equitable evaluations by the State.

VIII. Summary
This concludes our final written report to the State which includes the following information:
additional elements that the State should include in RFPs as a scorable evaluation of a firm’s commitment to diversity; justification and evidence explaining why the proposed elements are best at determining a firm’s commitment to diversity; a scoring matrix; proposed administrative rules; and suggested next steps.

We propose two (2) additional elements to be used by the State to evaluate an offeror’s commitment to diversity on State contracts. Those elements or administrative rules are as follows:
• Whether the offeror has written policies to conduct business with veteran-owned businesses and LGBTQ business enterprises
• Whether the offeror has written policies to conduct business with local businesses and employ local persons from the communities where they conduct business or perform work We have provided justification and/or evidence to support each element and factor. The justification and/or evidence includes: data that we have found in primary and secondary sources from public agencies and private companies; caselaw that promotes the use of race-neutral measures, as cited and proposed in select disparity studies; caselaw, as reflected in the federal regulations (governing the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise or DBE Program) or other applicable federal laws; State and/or local laws; and other publicly available information about diversity programs and initiatives.

We prepared a scoring matrix for the State to evaluate and score each proposed element. The scoring matrix lists each element along the left column, and each factor moving right down a row from the element it evaluates. Underneath each factor is the maximum score that can be given for compliance to that factor. To the far right of each element is a total box, where the scores for each factor should be totaled to determine the score for the element in question. After each factor has been evaluated and each element has been scored, all scores should be combined for a total score for the offeror’s overall commitment to diversity.

After the scoring matrix, we have included the Administrative Rules which include the complete list of proposed elements:
• Whether or how well the offeror on the solicitation being evaluated, met the goal of contracting or subcontracting with businesses owned by women, minorities, or persons with disabilities

15 • The percentage of prior year spend of the offeror that involve businesses owned by women, minorities, or persons with disabilities
• Whether the offeror has a written supplier diversity program, including, but not limited to, use of diverse vendors in the supply chain
• Whether the offeror has a program to assist, develop, train and/or mentor businesses owned by women, minorities, or persons with disabilities • Whether the offeror has an affirmative action program which describes their efforts to recruit, screen, select, pay equitably, and promote diverse individuals who are employed or affiliated with the offeror
• Whether the offeror has a business development program to assist businesses owned by women, minorities, or persons with disabilities to develop and successfully compete • Whether the offeror has relationships with Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), other diverse institutions and/or their diverse students to help them achieve their educational, future employment and/or business goals
• Whether the offeror has engaged in activities during the past year that promote and/or support diverse communities and families
• Whether the offeror has written policies to conduct business with veteran-owned businesses and LGBTQ business enterprises.
• Whether the offeror has written policies to conduct business with local businesses and employ local persons from the communities where they conduct business or perform work.

Finally, we end with a list of “next steps” that the State should take, in order to score and evaluate the commitment to diversity from its offerors in a way that promotes and facilitates objective, consistent and equitable evaluations by each State agency and its evaluators.

Thank you for the opportunity to work with the State on this matter. It is our hope that our extensive work will significantly advance diversity on State contracts and positively impact diversity nationwide. Please let us know if you have any questions or feedback regarding any of the issues that we have discussed in this report. Also, please let us know if you would like us to continue our work on this matter pursuant to the recommended next steps that we have outlined herein.

Project Approach
The SCI Team employs deadline driven project management. Tasks are assigned to an individual or teams along with deadlines and these deadlines must be met. We utilize MS Teams, and MS Outlook as our primary tools for communication. The SCI Team has long-standing internal quality control processes in place, including internal standards and peer review. For this project, Kyle Tankard, will provide peer review for all deliverables to maintain quality.

SCI Team will conduct a project kick-off meeting with City staff to establish project priorities and goals, communication protocols and timelines. Further, we will gather and review all applicable information needed to perform the required tasks. SCI will be available to meet via teleconference call on a regular basis.

Task 1: Application Process Development
Working with City staff, SCI will develop and design a merit-based application process for the evaluation, ranking, and selection of retail cannabis applicants. Our goal for this task is to provide the City with a fair model of selection that is consistent with requirements outlined in CMC Chapter 5.30 and favors equity, community safety, longevity, and sustainability.

SCI has thoroughly reviewed CMC Chapter 5.30 and understands that the City has established 4- phase, merit-based evaluation process that consists of the following phases:
 Phase 1: Application Submittal
 Phase 2: Determination of Eligibility
 Phase 3: Application Evaluation
 Phase 4: Permit Issuance
SCI will develop a comprehensive application package, which includes application forms, application procedures and guidelines, Live Scan/background check forms, and any other required documents. The application procedures and guidelines will detail the instructions for submitting a commercial cannabis application, outline the process in which applications will be reviewed and scored, and include the evaluation criteria. In addition, SCI will work with City to develop an internal evaluation rubric and scoring template that is consistent with CMC Chapter 5.30 and incorporates industry best practices, and will serve as the foundation for Task 3, below.

City of Cudahy
Proposal for Cannabis Consulting Services
By SCIConsultingGroup, January 2023

Furthermore, SCI understands that the voter approved Initiative established a ninety (90) day window to develop and publish the City's application process and related materials. In order to ensure the City meets the March 20, 2023 deadline, SCI will assist City staff with publishing the necessary materials. Additionally, SCI will provide recommendations for website development and advertising the application period to ensure that all eligible applicants are aware of the opportunity to apply.

Deliverables:
 Develop application and selection process
 Develop and design application package
 Develop internal evaluation rubric and scoring template  Assistance with publishing application material
 Recommendations for website development and advertisement Task 2: Compliance Monitoring
Building Plan Checks
SCI will perform Building Plan Check reviews as a part of applicant tenant improvement submittals to verify compliance with the approved cannabis application and local and State cannabis laws.

SCI will provide the City with a written letter detailing any recommendations and corrections for each applicant. SCI will provide follow up plan check reviews for corrected or amended building plans submitted to the City. SCI shall complete Building Plan Check reviews within seven business days of receiving building plans from the City.

Deliverables:
 Building Plan Check review for compliance with submitted application and local and State cannabis laws
 Written letter detailing any recommendations and corrections  Follow up review as needed
Onsite Facility Inspections
SCI provides comprehensive pre-operating compliance reviews of cannabis businesses and onsite compliance inspections of facilities and operations, including documentation and reporting of the various cannabis licensee entities for multiple municipalities throughout California. For this task, SCI will provide comprehensive onsite facility inspections for each commercial cannabis business and report to the City the results of inspections relative to the City’s local regulations and ordinances, conditions of approval, staff-directed priorities and preferences, and State law. SCI’s monitoring and compliance efforts will satisfy the most rigorous requirements and at the same time, provide a successful platform for the cannabis businesses.

City of Cudahy
Proposal for Cannabis Consulting Services
By SCIConsultingGroup, January 2023

In collaboration with the City, SCI will prepare an inspection checklist for each cannabis activity.

Prior to conducting each inspection, SCI will prepare notification to the businesses to schedule inspections. Following the inspection, SCI will provide the City with a written report detailing the results of the compliance inspection including photo documentation of any violations. SCI will provide follow-up support to the City and cannabis businesses to provide recommendations to address and correct any deficiencies.

Among the elements and activities SCI will monitor are as follows:
 Product: Inventory management, seed-to-sale tracking, packaging and labeling verification, product testing protocols, etc.

By SCIConsultingGroup, January 2023

Cannabis
Business Gross
Receipts
• Evaluate consistency between gross receipts and other information reported on financial statements to what was reported to the CDTFA for sales and use tax, cannabis excise tax, and/or cultivation tax.
• Evaluate consistency between gross receipts reported on financial statements to gross receipts reported to the City.

Collection and
Audit
of any Cannabis
Tax
• Ensure each cannabis facility is complying with applicable portions of the City’s Code and is submitting the true amount of gross receipts and tax. • Review business license tax returns submitted by the business and collected by the City and compare to each business’s records for the time period identified by the City to determine accuracy and timeliness of gross receipts returns filed with the City.
• Trace and verify the gross receipts reported on the quarterly gross receipts returns prepared by the business to gross receipts recorded in the business’s accounting records to verify that these were in accordance with the City’s regulations. • Verify reasonableness of reported revenues
• We will issue all reports to the City in accordance with applicable standards from generally accepted auditing standards (GAAS).
• The report for each cannabis business license tax audit will include the following information:
• The overall conclusion of whether or not the cannabis business paid all required business license taxes and fees for the time period specified. • Any exceptions, errors, or areas of noncompliance were identified as a result of the procedures performed. This includes any significant deficiency in the design or operation of the internal control structure, including but not limited to the following areas: cash handling, inventory control, point of sale systems, and any other areas that the auditor deems necessary for purposes of accurately reporting business license taxes due to the City.
• Express an opinion regarding the taxes remitted to the City by the cannabis business, or state that an opinion cannot be expressed in the auditor’s report. If the Firm concludes, it cannot express an overall opinion. The engagement team will state the reasons, therefore, in the auditor’s report.
• Examine records and documentation that demonstrates that all cannabis goods have been obtained from, and are provided to, other licensed cannabis businesses and that details all the revenues and expenses, and assets and liabilities of the business.
• Examine books of account, invoices, copies of orders and sales, shipping instructions, bills of lading, weigh bills, bank statements including canceled checks and deposit slips, and all other records necessary to show all transactions of the cannabis business.

State Rule
Making
Interpretation
and
Implementation
• Check for compliance with the latest officially approved state regulations for cannabis businesses across the supply chain. Licensees are required to comply with all rules and regulations pertaining to their license type, as well as follow all other applicable state laws.

Task 3: Application Evaluation
For this task, SCI will manage the processing of commercial cannabis retail applications, including completing a merit-based evaluation process for applicants. SCI has thoroughly reviewed the CMC Chapter 5.30 and understands that the City has established a four-phase, merit-based evaluation process for the selection of two (2) retail cannabis businesses.

Phase One: Application Submittal (30 days)
Once the application materials have been published and released to the public, the City should expect to receive questions from prospective applicants regarding preparing and submitting their applications to the City. During this phase of the application, it is very important that the City is prepared to provide timely and transparent responses that are consistent with the City’s application procedures and guidelines developed in Task 1. SCI will provide assistance to City Staff associated with fielding and responding to applicant questions and associated publishing of an active FAQ section to the City’s Website.

Deliverables:

5.30.070(3). SCI is available to provide support to City staff with determining the minimum eligibility requirements and conducting backgrounds checks if necessary. Applications that are determined complete will be transmitted to SCI for Phase Two: Application Evaluation. SCI will develop a protocol and process for transmitting application documents to SCI.

City of Cudahy
Proposal for Cannabis Consulting Services
By SCIConsultingGroup, January 2023

Deliverables:
 Assistance reviewing applications for completeness
 Assistance with determining eligibility of applicants  Assistance with background checks
Phase Three – Application Evaluation (90 days)
SCI will independently review, evaluate, and score each application based on the process and evaluation criteria established in Task 1, above.

SCI will ensure that the application review is completed and finalized deliverables are submitted to the City within 75 days.

Deliverables:

 Prepare report with final rankings
Phase Four – Permit Issuance
SCI will assist the City with issuing Commercial Cannabis Permits to the highest ranking applicants.

Deliverables:
 Assist with permit issuance.

Optional Services
Cost Recovery Analysis
The SCI Team will provide engineering services in developing the fees for commercial cannabis regulation in the City. The goal is to establish a reliable, robust cannabis fee structure that provides, full cost recovery to the City, is supported by the community and the local cannabis industry, is Proposition 26 justifiable, and adheres to all State and local regulations.

These fees can be used to fund the costs of administering and enforcing the regulations, including the cost of reviewing and approving applications, inspecting businesses, and enforcing compliance with the regulations. Cannabis fees can also be used to cover the costs of implementing and maintaining a regulatory system, such as the development of regulations, the training of staff, and the maintenance of records and databases.

The basic cannabis related regulatory fees are:

City of Cudahy
Proposal for Cannabis Consulting Services
By SCIConsultingGroup, January 2023

• Application Fees
• Application Renewal
• Annual Regulatory Fee (also commonly known as a “Cannabis Business Permit Fee”)
• Miscellaneous Tasks - Background Checks, Plan Checks, etc.

The costs incurred for both application steps and renewal, are dictated by the process developed in application process, as described above. The costs of the annual regulatory fee are dictated by the specifics of the City’s regulatory ordinance as well as the development of the monitoring and compliance strategy.

The first step for developing the specific fees is to work with the City to establish administrative process flow documentation for each fee, based upon specific requirements in the City’s cannabis ordinance, as well as standard City processes. Next, this process flow is divided into discrete tasks within a spreadsheet with the associated time increment required to conduct them for each staff position type and hourly rate. Finally, this data is analyzed to ensure that all costs are covered, and a final fee rate is established. All fees are for cost recovery of actual costs and do not generate new general fund revenue. They must be developed consistent with Proposition 26.

The final deliverable products for this project includes a comprehensive Fee Study Report based upon rigorous and detailed engineering analysis that will include equitable and defensible allocation of project costs among all fee types.

Deliverables:
• Cost recovery fee study
• Prepare resolution, staff report, and supporting documentation for Council adoption
Background Checks
SCI is qualified to conduct criminal background checks for every applicant (including owners and other representatives of the applicant). The background check is intended to supplement Staterequired Live Scan fingerprint check. On average, the results for background checks 1-3 business days.

Firm Qualifications
SCI Consulting Group
SCI is a public finance and urban economic consulting firm with over 35 years of expertise in assisting public agencies in California with developing policy, and planning, justifying, and successfully establishing new revenues(taxes, fees, assessments, regulations) for their service and capital improvement needs and objectives and managing special levies.

We were perhaps the very first consulting firm to provide a full suite of local cannabis policy implementation services to California municipalities and developed the “6 Key Elements of Cannabis Implementation” approach that is the standard today:

1. Community Research and Outreach (Meetings & Surveys)

2. Health and Safety & Land Use Regulations (Ordinance(s))

3. Full Cost Recovery (Regulatory Fees)

4. Revenue (Taxation Ballot Measures)

5. Local Industry Selections (Application and Selection Process)

6. Monitoring and Compliance
And more recently, we have added, and become a State leader in:

7. Social Equity (We are currently providing these services to Adelanto, Richmond, Palm Springs, Santa Rosa, and Stockton)

City of Cudahy

By SCIConsultingGroup, January 2023

Our core philosophy and approach towards the implementation of local cannabis policy is more broadly balanced than that of our competitors. Our philosophy comes from our genesis as a solution-based engineering firm that has evolved and developed in-house expertise in public policy, community outreach, and social equity. Although our quantitative and regulatory rigor, and attention to detail, are unsurpassed, we balance this with realistic approaches to a real-world challenge, fully understanding and supporting the City’s challenging transition into a regulated and legal cannabis business arena. Hence, SCI balances enforcement of local and State code along with the need to support viable cannabis businesses and to shepherd non-compliant businesses into a safe and regulated environment.

Over the last seven years, SCI has emerged as one of California’s premier local cannabis policy firms offering a full range of “one-stop-shop” services in support of the successful implementation of regulated cannabis business within a City or County. However, as we emphasized above, our approach is different that our competitors as we “balance enforcement of local and State code along with the need to support viable cannabis businesses and to shepherd non-compliant businesses into a safe and regulated environment.” We are currently under contract to provide cannabis-related consulting services to:

City of Adelanto City of Coalinga
City of Colfax City of Dunsmuir
City of Fairfield City of Fontana

City of Santa Rosa City of Shasta Lake

Please let us know if you would like contact information for any of these current clients, and/or a list of clients we have completed all project work.

Further, SCI has extensive experience with cannabis application process development and the merit-based review and evaluation of applications for local municipalities in California. Most notably in 2018, SCI served as one of the five panelists selected to independently review and score over 300 retail permit applications for the City of West Hollywood. In a three month period, SCI reviewed over 20,000 pages and individually scored each application. SCI’s services helped create an exciting future for commercial cannabis in West Hollywood, where permits were awarded to 36 exciting business concepts that industry experts agree will together form the world’s premier cannabis retail experience. In addition, SCI has provided application development and evaluation services to the Cities of Colfax, Dunsmuir, El Monte, Fontana, National City, Nevada City, Lompoc, San Bernardino, San Carlos, and the County of San Benito.

SCI worked with the City to develop and launch a multi-phased merit-based application process, which provided opportunities for local residents. In addition, SCI completed a cost-recovery analysis to ensure full cost recovery for expenses incurred by the City related to each step of the cannabis application, permitting, and regulatory process. The City’s application period successfully launched on February 7, 2022 and closed on April 7, 2022. In just a little over a month, SCI independently reviewed, evaluated, and scored 17 applications.

BACKGROUND AND ANLYSIS
Currently, the City does not have a uniform set of guidelines and policies or process to appropriately rename buildings and citywide buildings and facilities.

• Historic Names
• Names of historic events
• Groups Organizations
• Persons at the local, regional, or national level of major significance with special consideration given to Cudahy’s own history.

It would also add restrictions and a list of inappropriate names, allowing the City to avoid certain names under a uniform criteria.

If approved, the City would establish a uniform set of criteria and guidelines to follow when renaming public facilities and city owned land.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

CUDAHY, CALIFORNIA, ESTABLISHING POLICIES AND

PROCEDURES FOR THE NAMING OF CITY OWNED

LAND, BUILDING, AND FACILITIES
WHEREAS, the City of Cudahy (“City”) does not currently have an established policy or procedure in naming City owned land, building, or facilities; WHEREAS, the City Council for the City (“City”) wishes to establish a l policy (“proposed policy”)to serve as a guide to the City Council when considering when, and under what circumstances, land, buildings, and facilities shall be named, or renamed, in honor of individuals;
WHEREAS, the proposed policy will also address when it is appropriate to both name or rename City- owned land, buildings and facilities.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, DETERMINED, AND ORDERED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CUDAHY, CALIFORNIA, AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1: Recitals. The Recitals set forth above are true and correct and are incorporated into this Resolution by reference.

SECTION 2: Established Policy. The City Council hereby established a process for naming and renaming City facilities located within and outside City limits (“Facilities”).

In general, previously named Facilities should only be renamed in exceptional circumstances. When considering the name or rename of any City facility, the following names should be avoided:
• Cumbersome, corrupted, or modified names, profane, discriminatory, or derogatory names relating to age, race, religion, creed, national origin, sex, color, marital status, disability, sexual orientation, political affiliation, or other similar categories. Names that cause confusion due to duplication or that sound too similar to existing named locations within the city or surrounding areas. • Names of companies whose business is substantially derived from the sale of alcohol, tobacco, firearms, pornography, and/or other practices considered unsuitable or inappropriate.

• The re-use of former facility names other than for a reconstruction of the same facility in the same location.

Attachment A Page 863 of 909
Resolution No. 23-07

• Names that would result in the overt commercialization of City facilities. • Names should not be overly recognized, either within the City or region. • Only one facility, park, or street may be named in honor of an individual.

Those City Facilities considered as a subject for dedication, naming, or renaming under this Resolution are, any public structure, building, park, park feature, reservoir, overpass, street, wall, mural, plant, lawn, garden, plaque, statue or historical document (such as a collection of biographies). City Facilities ineligible for consideration under this Resolution include City Hall, veterans' memorials, facilities under the jurisdiction of another governing body and streets. The existing name of a facility should not be changed merely for the sake of change.

City Facilities shall be named at least thirty (30) days before the facility is open for use by the general public.

Section 3: Naming Priority. Priorities to be considered in naming all City Facilities, (in order of importance) shall be as follows:
i. Historic Names. Names of historic events, groups, organizations, or persons at the local, regional, or national level of major significance with special consideration given to Cudahy’s own history.
ii. Places and Feature Names.
a. Recognizable area or neighborhood, e.g. “Cudahy Park” b. Names that aid in locating a facility are acceptable. If the facility is located on a park or school site, the facility need not share the name of the park or school site.
c. Assumed names should be used only if the area has been known by that assumed name for an extended period of time, e.g. the “South East” area. d. If a facility is located in an area with a specific theme, due consideration should be given to that theme.
e. Natural phenomena, such as rivers, creeks, and terrain. f. Horticultural features characteristic of a particular area. g. A combination of horticultural features and a place. iii. Individuals, Groups, or Organizations. The following criteria will be used in evaluating the use of names of persons (whether living or deceased), groups, and organizations.
