(2) By women’s business enterprises, eight percent (8%).

(3) By veteran or disabled business enterprises, three percent (3%).

The commission or the capital improvement board may adjust these participation percentages for each goal to reflect the results of a disparity study conducted by the City of Indianapolis. These goals must be consistent with the goals of delivering the project on time and within the budgeted amount and, insofar as possible, using Indiana businesses for employees, goods, and services. In fulfilling the goals, historical precedents in the same market must be taken into account.
