On March 1 of each year, the utility shall file a report with the Commission addressing compliance with this rule. The report shall include relevant and material information from the prior year, including proofs of publication, a copy of the utility's most recent "Hire Mississippi" list, a listing of all student outreach event opportunities afforded by the utility, and the number of bid feedback requests received pursuant to Section 107.
Additionally, the utility shall report the total number of contracts awarded by the utility in the previous year pursuant to Miss. Code Ann. § 77-3-16, a breakdown of how many of those contracts were awarded to resident contractors and how many to nonresident contractors, and a brief description of each contract's scope of work or supply.
The report shall specify the percentage of that contractor's employees that are Mississippi residents to the extent reported to the utility by the contractor. If within the reporting period seventy five percent (75%) of those employed pursuant to resident contractor contracts are Mississippi residents, the Commission shall award a certificate to the utility naming it a "Mississippi Champion."
The utilities shall also summarize any outreach efforts undertaken pursuant to Section 102 above, including the response to and perceived impact of such efforts.
