This Indicator measures the percent by race/ethnicity of Prime contractors for construction and professional services contracts who received under $100,000. Additional data is provided on the average amount received by these contractors. Data is from fiscal year 2015-16 and the date used to assign contracts to a fiscal year is the date that the compliance analysis was completed, or the review date. The dollar amounts represent the initial award; any negotiated bid amounts or change orders are not taken into account. The initial award is adjusted to how much of the total contract went to the Prime as opposed to Subprime contractors.

This Indicator measures the residential parcels that required a Level 1 or Level 2 evaluation of the group floor for a soft-story retrofit. Potential soft story buildings were identified through a 2008 screening of buildings permitted for construction before January 1, 1991, with parking or commercial on the ground floor, with five or more residential units, without previous soft story retrofits, and at least two stories. Some of these buildings were marked exempt or had incomplete evaluations, so this Indicator only measures those that were officially identified as soft story in 2014. In future years, we hope to measure the percent of identified soft story buildings that have been retrofitted.
