EQUAL BENEFITS ORDINANCE 

Any contract awarded pursuant to this procurement process shall be subject to the applicable provisions of the Los Angeles Administrative Code Section 10.8.2.1, Equal Benefits Ordinance (EBO).  The EBO requires City contractors who provide benefits to employees with spouses provide the same benefits to employees with domestic partners.  Domestic partners are defined as two adults living together, jointly responsible for living expenses, committed to an intimate and caring relationship and registered as domestic partners with a governmental entity. 

The selected Bidder/Proposer must complete and upload the Equal Benefits Ordinance Compliance Affidavit (2 pages) available on the City of Los Angeles’ Business Assistance Virtual Network (BAVN) residing at www.labavn.org prior to executing a contract with LAWA.  

The Equal Benefits Ordinance Compliance Affidavit shall be valid for a period of twelve months from the date it is first uploaded onto the City’s BAVN. Bidders/Proposers do not need to submit supporting documentation with their bids or proposals. However, the City may request supporting documentation to verify that the benefits are provided equally as specified on the Equal Benefits Ordinance Compliance Affidavit.
