(2) Hispanic Americans...... (3) Women...... (4) Asian Pacific Americans and Pacific Islanders; or (5) American Indians ......” The above definitions apply to the contract compliance requirements by virtue of Section 4-114a-1 (10) of the Contract Compliance Regulations.

The awarding agency will consider the following factors when reviewing the bidder’s qualifications under the contract compliance requirements:

(a) the bidder’s success in implementing an affirmative action plan; (b) the bidder’s success in developing an apprenticeship program complying with Sections 46a-681 to

46a-68-17 of the Connecticut General Statutes, inclusive; (c) the bidder’s promise to develop and implement a successful affirmative action plan; the bidder’s
