A breakdown of percentage of total M/WBE contracts awarded to Minorities (Black, Hispanic, Asian, etc.) and women from 2015 - 2020.
The M/WBE participation goals for each year from 2015 - 2020 and were they met.
How many M/WBE vendors are currently certified by the State.
Which minority or women owned business currently has the largest contract in Illinois.
I'm a reporter at the Chicago Crusader newspaper and this request is made as part of news gathering and not for a commercial use.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter.
