Each district may maintain a certification process that allows it to assess the status of each of its contractors and the actual dollar amount attributable to MBE/WBE/DVBE participation and to non-MBE/WBE/DVBE enterprises in contracts described in this subchapter. Should the monitoring program indicate that disparities exist in the amount of dollars awarded through district contracts than would be expected in a contracting program that provides equal opportunity for participation, the district should assess the circumstances that may contribute to the disparity and implement methods that foster equal opportunity.
