PREFACE

What is the Statewide Minority and Female Resource Directory?

This directory was prepared to assist contractors (prime and sub) serving
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Transportation. It is to
be used as a tool by firms holding Federal/State contracts in locating and
recruiting minority, female, and disadvantaged applicants for employment
on highway and bridge construction and nonconstruction contracts.
Contractual provisions state that “the contractor will, unless precluded by a
valid bargaining agreement, conduct systematic and direct recruitment
through public and private employee referral sources likely to yield qualified
minority group applicants. To meet this requirement, the contractor will
identify sources of potential minority group employees, and establish with
such identified sources procedures whereby minority group applicants may
be referred to the contractor for employment consideration.”

This directory does not attempt to replace any existing directory published
by any government agency. The Statewide Minority and Female Resource
Directory grew out of a response for requests to better help contractors
integrate their work force with minority and female employees.

The Bureau of Equal Opportunity, DBE/Title VI Division, is happy to assist
you whenever and wherever possible. We hope you find this directory of
assistance in your recruitment efforts of minority, female and
disadvantaged applicants.

We welcome your comments as well as your suggestions to improve the
directory and its usefulness. Please contact Mr. Khan Mitchell, Chief,
DBE/Title VI Division, at [phone] or 1-800-468-4201.

Sincerely,

Jocelyn I. Harper, Director
Bureau of Equal Opportunity
DISCLAIMER

This Directory is designed as a tool to assist contractors in
their recruiting efforts to attract minorities, women and
disadvantaged individuals into the construction industry. The
Department neither promotes, approves, nor endorses the
information/positions presented in this document.
