Affirmative Action planning

Learn what’s required and how to submit your plan or certification.

Overview

An Affirmative Action Plan (AAP) is a combination of policies and procedures. Its goal is to prevent discrimination and to promote equal employment opportunities for women, minorities, and disabled persons. 

This plan helps a company analyze its workforce, identify problems, and develop solutions. It also establishes a system to measure a company's progress toward workforce diversity. It is required on contracts over $100,000.

How to submit a plan

Vendors can submit one of the three AAP options on our Contract Compliance Information Management System (CCIMS). This site refers to AAPs as a Questionnaire.

Construction workforce goals

The construction industry is stronger when everyone participates. The Minnesota Department of Human Rights sets Workforce Participation Goals for people of color and Indigenous people and/or women on state construction projects. The City of Minneapolis adopted these goals for City construction contracts.

The construction workforce goals are:

  • People of color and Indigenous people: 32%
  • Women: 20%

You can access a copy of the City’s Non-Discrimination Notice. Please contact the office for the notice in a poster format and one will be mailed to you. Posters should be posted in a highly visible location available to employees and applicants for employment.
 
 
Title VI bans discrimination on the basis of race, color, and national origin.
