2. Equity and Inclusion
<br />The City strongly values equity and inclusion. All proposals should reflect this in how services are
<br />proposed to be performed. All Respondents must state how their organization's values, policies,
<br />programs, and practices reflect the City's community aspirations. The inclusion and respect statement
<br />states:
<br />The City of Roseville strives to be a welcoming and inclusive place for all. We are committed
<br />to promoting respectful conduct equitable service, and diversity in our community. We
<br />condemn discrimination by or against residents, visitors, workers, City employees or City
<br />businesses. In all that we do as a City government we pledge to treat everyone fairly,
<br />respectfully, and without bias, regardless of their color, creed, religion, national origin, gender,
<br />marital status, familial status, immigration status, sexual orientation, age, income, or disability.
<br />The City is committed to taking tangible steps to normalize, organize, and operationalize equity principles
<br />and tools, with an eye toward impactful and sustainable outcomes that create a more equitable
<br />community.
<br />2.1 Equity
<br />Equity is when race, color, creed, religion, national origin, gender, marital status, familial status, sexual
<br />orientation, age, income, and disability can no longer be used to predict success and outcomes for all
<br />groups are improved.
<br />2.1.1 Goals
<br />The City is dedicated to creating an inclusive community where the predictability of success is not based
<br />on color, creed, religion, national origin, gender, marital status, familial status, immigration status, sexual
<br />orientation, age, income, or disability. To accomplish this goal, all City departments will prioritize equity in
<br />their planning, delivery, and evaluation of programs, policies, and services. The City is committed to taking
<br />tangible steps to normalize, organize, and implement equity principles and tools, with an eye toward
<br />impactful and sustainable outcomes that create a more equitable community.
<br />2.2 Working Conditions and Employment Structure
<br />The City believes that all employees of its contractors should be treated with respect and provided with a
<br />safe, healthy working environment. Working conditions must be as safe as possible meeting all local,
<br />state, and federal policies, guidelines, rules, and laws. Labor policies should fully respect the rights of all
<br />employees. The City prefers to work with a Contractor that provides equitable hiring and fair
<br />compensation policies and practices.
