When is a DBE Program required?
• Defined in FAA Airports Division Order 5100.38C
• DBE Regulation Title 49 CFR Part 26
– requires airports anticipating awarding more than $250,000 in prime contracts using Federal funds during a fiscal year to implement a DBE program. Applicable prime contracts include:
– Construction (including noise mitigation);
– Professional services; and/or
– Equipment

New Program or goal update
• Whole new DBE Program required if never submitted one since 1999 (when new regulation issued) – Keep the program current - update when needed
based on changes at the Airport
• Annual goal updates required each year– due August 1st (if required based on dollar amount
of prime contracts awarded)

– Does not include land purchase, but does include related services (e.g., surveying, appraisals, etc.).
• Airport recipients using entire grant funds to do work with its own personnel (in-force accounts) are not required to implement a DBE program. (Order 5100.38C Para 1422.I.(1)

What is Race Neutral participation?
• Defined at 26.51 and 23.51
Race-neutral measure or program is one that is, or can be, used to assist all small businesses or increase opportunities for
for all small businesses
![Page 15: Federal Aviation Administration 49 CFR Part 26 Goal Setting 2009 National DBE Conference](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022110101/56649e925503460f94b985d2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Race Neutral examples include but not limited to:
– DBE/ACDBE prime or subcontracts when nothing but the low bid was considered
– History of exceeding goals-apply % – Arranging solicitations in ways to facilitate DBE and
other small business participation– Providing assistance to help DBEs and other small
businesses to obtain bonding and financing– Providing technical assistance to all small
businesses– Ensuring distribution of the DBE directory to all
small businesses and others

What is Race-conscious participation
Race-conscious measure or program is one that is focused specifically on assisting only DBEs, including women-owned DBEs.
• Conscious action to get DBEs– Like putting a goal on the invitation to bid
![Page 17: Federal Aviation Administration 49 CFR Part 26 Goal Setting 2009 National DBE Conference](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022110101/56649e925503460f94b985d2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Race-Conscious Participation can be
DBE Contract goals
Anything the sponsor does just for DBEs like a bid conference or training where other businesses are not invited (not even other small businesses that are white and male owned).
Price credits for DBE’s would also be considered race-conscious.

Define the Market Area
First, define the local market area:
Area in which the majority of the Airport’s contractors and subcontractors that seek to do business with the airport are located
And the area in which the Airport spends the majority of its contracting dollars.

DBE Goal Setting –Step 1
• To determine:
– The relative availability of DBEs– Total number of Ready, Willing and Able DBEs
divided by total number of all firms for the types of contracts you anticipate awarding.

How do Airports set annual DBE goals?
• Determine Step 1 – In the market area:– May use census bureau data to determine how many of all
businesses would be available to do the work
http://www.census.gov/epcd/cbp/view/cbpview.html
Use State DBE directory to determine how many “certified DBEs” could be available to do the work
– Divide DBE’s by total number of businesses for example:
7 certified DBEs found divided by 233 all businesses found = 3%
If using the State’s goal, must make adjustment in Step 2 for the local area considerations
![Page 28: Federal Aviation Administration 49 CFR Part 26 Goal Setting 2009 National DBE Conference](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022110101/56649e925503460f94b985d2/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Step 1
• Comparison must be between businesses performing similar work in the same geographic area
• Recipients can weight this figure based on the amount of money they spend in different fields

Calculating Step 1 – Part 26
• May use the goal of another recipient- If another airport or other DOT recipient (State) in the same, or substantially similar, market has set an overall goal,you may use that goal as a base figure step 1 for your goal. (make adjustments for your local area in Step 2)
• Disparity Study
• Phone Books

DBE Goal Setting –Step 2
• Step 2. Once you have calculated a base figure, you must examine all of the evidence available in your jurisdiction to determine what adjustment, if any, is needed to the base figure in order to arrive at your overall goal.

Calculating Step 2 adjustment • Examine:
– The current capacity of DBEs/ACDBEs to perform work as measured by the volume of work DBEs/ACDBEs have performed in recent years
– Evidence from disparity studies, if not already used in the Step 1 base figure

Example - Step Two Adjustment
Past Participation - Accomplishments-use median
Past three years of past participation is: 2005 15%

Overall goal determination – Example
This figure may be averaged with Step 1 to arrive at the overall goal.
Step 1 = 12.8% (base figure)Step 2 = 12%
Added = 24.8% divided by 2 = 12.4% overall goal
![Page 37: Federal Aviation Administration 49 CFR Part 26 Goal Setting 2009 National DBE Conference](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022110101/56649e925503460f94b985d2/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

Example - Overall DBE Goal
Step 1 = 12.8%
Step 2 = Median of past 3 years accomplishments = 12%
Step 1 and Step 2 added then averaged = 12.4%
Therefore, recipient’s overall DBE goal for FY-09 is 12.4%
The airport authority is awarding contracts in the amount of $7,210,000 of which $894,040 will be applied to DBE participation.
The airport authority is applying 4% of it’s 12.4% overall goal to race-neutral participation and 8.4% to race-conscious participation. The basis for this breakout is that the authority exceeded it’s goal in FY-08 by 4% and expects to exceeds its FY-09 goal by at least
4% which is evidence of race-neutral participation.

Commercial Useful Function
• A DBE performs a commercially useful function when it:
– is responsible by actually performing, managing, and supervising the work and;
– is responsible with respect to materials and supplies used on the contract, for negotiating price, determining quality and quantity, ordering the material, and installing and paying for the material itself.

26.55 – Counting DBE participation
• (a) ….count only the value of the work actually performed by the DBE toward DBE goals.
• (1) Include the cost of supplies and materials obtained by the DBE for the work of the contract, including supplies purchased or equipment leased by the DBE (except supplies and equipment the DBE subcontractor purchases or leases from the prime contractor or its affiliate).

• (2) Count the entire amount of fees or commissions charged by a DBE firm for providing a bona fide service, such as professional, technical, consultant, or managerial services, or for providing bonds or insurance specifically required for the performance of a DOT-assisted contract, toward DBE goals, provided you determine the fee to be reasonable and not excessive as compared with fees customarily allowed for similar services.

26.55 Counting DBE Participation (continued)
• (3) When a DBE subcontracts part of the work of its contract to another firm, the value of the subcontracted work may be counted toward DBE goals only if the DBE's subcontractor is itself a DBE. Work that a DBE subcontracts to a non-DBE firm does not count toward DBE goals.
• (b) When a DBE performs as a participant in a joint venture, count a portion of the total dollar value of the contract equal to the distinct, clearly defined portion of the work of the contract that the DBE performs with its own forces toward DBE goals.
