HR Division
What we do:

Wayne County Human Relations Division is a business-certification agency, a tool for doing business with Wayne County. Earned business certifications may be applied as equalization credits in bid evaluations, based on a company's certification category, leveling the playing field for all businesses/vendors. The Division also serves as an investigation/enforcement unit in fair employment and discrimination complaints/violations pertaining to county contractors.

Explanation:

  • An offeror shall receive the equalization credit for each applicable category. The firm making the lowest evaluated offer, shall be deemed the lowest offeror.
  • In applying equalization credits, a Joint Venture shall not be considered a Mentoring Venture (vice versa), nor shall a Small Business Enterprise be considered an Expanding Business Enterprise (vice versa).
  • No business shall receive credits unless it has been certified by the Wayne County Human Relations Division before the bid-submission deadline.
  • Any offeror claiming entitlement/establishing eligibility to equalization credits shall agree to make available (to Wayne County) necessary records.
  • Upon applying any equalization credit, contracts shall be awarded to the lowest responsible offerorthus evaluated.
