Contract Equity Guidelines and Forms

The Contract Equity Program and Equal Employment Opportunity Guidelines describe the program and contracting objectives which also include the forms bidders must complete.  The forms can be printed, legibly filled out by hand and submitted to the project manager as part of your bid package. The forms cannot be filled out and sent electronically.

Contract Equity Annual Report

The Contract Equity Program Annual Report describes recommendations for program improvements, internal and external activities, outreach efforts, policies, and statistical results.

Business Forums

Contract Equity Program Business Forums are an opportunity for business owners to learn how to do business with the East Bay Municipal Utility District, meet EBMUD staff, and network with other business owners.

Business Vendor Directories

The Contract Equity Business Vendor Directories are firms that have self-certified the ethnicity and gender of their ownership and are in the EBMUD database.
