Report: Fort Worth's M/WBE participation mixed in 2013

The City of Fort Worth fell short of its goal for minority and women-business enterprise (M/WBE) participation on public construction contracts in 2013, according to a report presented to the City Council.

The city aimed to spend 25 percent of construction dollars with M/WBEs, but only 18 percent went to these firms. In fiscal year 2013, Fort Worth spent a total of $204.2 million on construction contracts.

Fort Worth exceeded its 15 percent goal for M/WBE participation on professional services contracts, however. Of the $45.8 million let, M/WBEs received 20.6 percent.
