City of Oakland Race and Gender Disparity Study Business Survey
In 2017, the City commissioned a Race and Gender Disparity Study to determine how successful the City has been in achieving its goals of equity and inclusion in awarding contracts to local businesses owned by people of color and women. The City of Oakland has a commitment to provide economic opportunity for City residents and businesses. If you have an interest in working on City contracts, please complete this short survey. All responses will be kept confidential; your company will not be identified in any report. Thank you in advance for your participation.
