(b)Agencies will develop agency utilization plans pursuant to 66 RCNY § 11-64. The citywide goals will not be summarily adopted as goals for all annual agency utilization plans; rather, goals for such plans may be set at levels higher, lower, or the same as the citywide goals, subject to the approval of the commissioner as described in paragraph three of 66 RCNY § 11-64. When setting its goals, each agency must consider the citywide goals, the size and nature of its own procurement portfolio, and the availability of MBEs, WBEs and EBEs with the capacity to perform the specific types and scale of work for which the agency anticipates it will solicit procurements during the year. Agencies will seek to ensure substantial progress toward the attainment of these goals in as short a time as practicable.
(3)The citywide goals will not be summarily adopted as goals for individual procurements; rather, as set forth in 66 RCNY § 11-66, goals for such procurements may be set at levels higher, lower, or the same as the citywide goals. In setting such goals, each agency must take into account the citywide goals and the agency's annual utilization plan, the size and nature of the procurement, and the availability of MBEs, WBEs and EBEs with the capacity to perform the specific types and scale of work involved in its procurements.
(4)(a) No later than 2015, the commissioner, in consultation with the city chief procurement officer, will, for each industry classification and each minority group, review and compare the availability rates of firms owned by minorities and women to the utilization rates of such firms in agency contracts and direct subcontracts, and will on the basis of such review and any other relevant information, where appropriate, revise by rule the citywide participation goals set forth in this section. In making such revision, the commissioner will consider the extent to which discrimination continues to have an impact on the ability of minorities and women to compete for city contracts and subcontracts. The commissioner will submit the results of such review and any proposed revisions to the participation goals to the speaker of the council at least sixty days prior to publishing a proposed rule that would revise participation goals. Such review will thereafter be conducted at least once every two years.
