As you can see, many of these companies didn’t have specific services that went through the council. I looked all these names up in Legistar and found very little. Looks like the departments dealing with this companies are doing business primarily with Fleet or Metro, Engineering/Facilities and IT. Also note, you don’t see agencies that have regular contracts through community services/community development on this list because you don’t get a contract if you don’t have all the t’s crossed and i’s dotted. Why are nonprofits held to one standard and for-profit businesses held to a different standard?
