The Contractor and all subcontractors are encouraged to fulfill the program requirements even if their contracts are less than these amounts. Contractors shall make reasonable efforts to ensure that their workforce reflects the diversity of the City of Portland and Multnomah County. One way contractors can make reasonable effortsto ensure that their workforce is diverse isto recruit, train, and employ minorities and women whenever possible. This portion of the Contract establishes requirements regarding that recruitment, training, and employment.
