SUBJECT: DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISES (DBE) ANNUAL GOAL
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
BACKGROUND
Some of the Capital Improvement Projects constructed in the City are partially
financed by Federal -aid funds. Under the guidelines of the Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA), the City is required to utilize Disadvantaged Business
Enterprises (DBE) in all.aspects of contracting to the maximum feasible.
The City, its contractors, and subcontractors, must ensure that the DBE firms
have the maximum opportunity to participate in the performance of contracts and
subcontracts.
The DBE goal is determined by comparing all the City's roadway type projects
with a list of the percentage of DBE contractors in the Southern California area
who are available to bid this work. A weighted average is then figured to
predict what percentage of DBE contractors/subcontractors would be available to
bid a specific project. The goal/weighted average°for this year has been
determined at 11%.
California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) who administers the DBE
Program for the FHWA has approved our proposed annual DBE goal of 11% for Fiscal
Year 1990-91. The proposed annual DBE goals must be re -submitted to Caltrans
for their approval, each fiscal year.
RECOMMENDATION
1. The City Council adopt the DBE Annual Plan Coal of 11% approved by
Caltrans.
2. The Director of Public Works be directed to implement the use of the DBE
Program on Capital Improvement Projects that are partially financed by
Federal -aid funds.
