- Serve the Disadvantaged Minority and Women Business Enterprise (D/M/WBE) community by certifying that contractors on City-funded projects comply with the D/M/WBE program.
- Protect low-income persons in the Kansas City, Missouri community by ensuring that contractors meet all federal, state, and local Section 3 requirements.
- Ensure that required postings are on all City funded construction projects. These include an EEO statement, OSHA 300 Log, OSHA Safety Poster #3165 or #2203, and a Health and Safety Plan (HASP).
