歡迎
聖塔克拉拉縣（以下簡稱「縣府」）已經開始了由 MGT 顧問集團領導的第一次全面的差異研究。差異研究將評估本縣的採購和承包，並將在法院裁決確立的加州法律架構下進行。縣府的意圖是收集基線數據，以界定縣府承包商或者分包商的不同企業之間，多元化企業的可取得性與利用的任何差異。縣府致力於確定導致任何已識別差異的因素，包括但不限於現有政策、流程、技術和計劃。此研究將進一步透過策略方法來加強本縣的推廣工作，以導正任何已確定的差異。
1989 年，最高法院在Richmond市起訴 JA Croson Co 案件中裁定，根據平等保護條款，該市的「少數族裔企業利用計劃」違憲。這個具有指標意義的案例表明，州和地方以種族為基準的計劃必須堅持「嚴格審查」，其中承認以下幾點：
- 政府實體必須證明：種族分類是為實現令人信服的政府利益，而量身定製的。
- 可以建立以種族為基準的補救計劃，以糾正其管轄範圍內已確定的、系統的、過去的種族歧視的影響。
此外，加州選民於1996年批准了第 209 號提案，該提案修訂了加州憲法，以禁止在公職招聘、公共教育與公共合約承包時，根據種族、性別、膚色、民族或國籍的歧視或偏袒。
本縣的研究將包括對合同和採購數據的分析，以確定不同商業企業之間的多元性，以及在縣府的供貨商、服務和建築承包商或分包商等企業之間，是否存在多元性的差異。該研究將包括從縣府支出中收集的定量數據，以及企業主和地區貿易協會和商業組織提供的定性數據。
我們鼓勵所有企業主提供有關他們在聖塔克拉拉縣進行業務往來，或嘗試開展業務經驗的相關資訊。
此外我們也強烈鼓勵少數族裔、女性、殘障退伍軍人和多元性向 (LGBT) 族群 擁有的企業，集體參與多元化的商業企業 (DIV-BE)。

社區參與會議
MGT Consulting Group hosted five virtual public engagement meetings that presented the Study’s objectives and gathered feedback from business owners on their experiences doing business or attempting to do business, with the County of Santa Clara or their prime vendors. These meetings were open to the public. Input gathered during the public engagement meetings and any written comments will be analyzed as the basis for recommendations to provide potential modifications to the procurement processes.
訪談、調查和直接提供意見
Businesses in all procurement categories and business owner classifications are invited to participate in in-depth interviews and business surveys. The interviews are opportunities for businesses to have one-on-one discussions with the MGT team regarding their experiences doing business or attempting to do business, with the County of Santa Clara or prime vendors contracted by the County. The business surveys gather information on business demographics, capacity, and experiences doing business with the County. Donaldson Enterprises and SkyBase 7 are currently contacting businesses to participate in the anecdotal research for the study.
Businesses are invited to contribute their experiences doing business or attempting to do business on County contracts/projects. Sign up for an in-depth interview to speak one-on-one with our team. Your feedback will assist MGT in potential recommendations for the County’s procurement process that could help your business.
