Contractor Compliance

Due to changes in federal policies impacting federal funding to municipalities which operate diversity, equity, and inclusion related programming, compliance monitoring and enforcement related to Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprise utilization, and Minority and Women labor participation goals have been paused until further notice while the City works to accommodate the changed federal landscape.

Compliance monitoring and enforcement of Prevailing Wage, City Resident utilization, and Apprentice utilization requirements remains in effect, and St. Louis Development Corporation will continue to  monitor such requirements through the GPTS and HeadCount platforms. Developers and General Contractors are encouraged to engage with St. Louis Development Corporation’s Compliance Office for further information about how this announcement may impact ongoing projects.
