For this reason, the Directory lists the most recent certification for all firms. Certification status notwithstanding, all prime contractors, subcontractors or jointventure partners are subject to final approval by the City if proposed on a contract. Also listed within this Directory are Chicagoland businesses that responded to a City of Chicago questionnaire by indicating that they qualified as Section 3 business concerns. This is not intended to be an all inclusive directory, only a supplemental resource. The City of Chicago takes no responsibility for the accuracy of the information provided to the City by these Section 3 business concerns.
