CONTRA
COSTA COUNTY
SMALL
BUSINESS ENTERPRISE PROGRAM
The Board of Supervisors has adopted a Small Business Enterprise (SBE)
Program to assist in the solicitation and award of contracts to small
businesses (particularly local firms whose main office is located in Contra
Costa County).
The County Administrator is responsible for the development, implementation,
monitoring, and evaluation of the SBE Program and may delegate responsibility
to the Affirmative Action Officer or designee.
The SBE Program areas are Purchasing Transactions of $50,000 or less;
Professional/Personal Services Contracts of $50,000 or less; and Construction
Contracts of $25,000 or less. The objective is to have at least fifty
