Title
Amending Sec. 39.02(9)(a)2.f. of the Madison General Ordinances to exempt relocation type contracts from the Affirmative Action requirements.
Body
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS: This ordinance clarifies that certain contracts, where the City pays another party to relocate or modify their facilities due to a City project, are not subject to the Affirmative Action requirements. In these instances, the other party does not receive a benefit from the City, but is required by law to move or modify the facilities and the City is required by law to pay for such changes. The other party - usually a public utility or railroad -- could simply move or modify the facilities and bill the City, but both the City and the other party often want to enter into an agreement to describe the work to be done and the amount of the payment. Because of the unique nature of these contracts, this ordinance would exclude them from the AA requirements.
