City of Bellevue publishes Equal Opportunity Requirements compliance guidance and affidavit package for BCC 4.28.170 contractors

The City of Bellevue provides an official Equal Opportunity Requirements guidance document and associated affidavit language tied to Bellevue City Code (BCC) 4.28.170. The document describes how contractors demonstrate compliance (including an affidavit of compliance), the applicability threshold (contracts totaling $35,000+ within a year), expected affirmative steps (e.g., recruitment/outreach and subcontract bid outreach to minority/women vendors), and the City’s audit rights and contractual consequences for noncompliance (potential breach/termination). The research did not identify evidence in the provided sources that this guidance was newly issued or revised within the last 30 days; however, it functions as an authoritative compliance interpretation/implementation artifact for BCC 4.28.170.
