Department of Design and Construction, FY 2016
September 1, 2016
M/WBE Letter Grade
Letter Grade Overview
DDC has one of the largest procurement budgets in the entire City. While DDC spent $20 million more with M/WBEs in FY16 than FY15, the agency also increased its overall spending by $335 million and only achieved LL 1 goals with Asian American-owned firms in the standard services category. As a result, the agency grade decreased from a C to a D.
