Agenda 07/12/2022 Item #16A17 (Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program and Goal for FY 2023, 2024 and 2025)07/12/2022 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to approve submission of the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE)Program and Goal for Fiscal Years 2023, 2024, and 2025 ensuring DBE's have an equal opportunity to receive notice and participate in Federal Transit Administration assisted contracts and by ensuring non-discrimination in the award and administration of such contracts. OBJECTIVE: To ensure that Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) have an equal opportunity to receive and participate in Federal Transit Administration (FTA) assisted contracts. CONSIDERATIONS: The Board receives Federal financial assistance from the FTA and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). As a condition of receiving this assistance, the Board must comply with Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R.), part 26, which requires the Board to have a DBE program in accordance with regulations of the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT). A DBE Program ensures that DBE's have an equal opportunity to receive and participate in FTA and FDOT assisted contracts by ensuring non-discrimination in award and administration of those State and Federal contracts. The goal of the DBE program is to remedy past and current discrimination against disadvantaged and small business enterprises, ensuring a "level playing field7 in which DBE's can compete fairly for FDOT and FTA contracts. Every three years it is necessary to establish a DBE program goal. The current program goal will expire at the end of FY 2022 requiring a new goal for the next three years (Fiscal years 2023, 2024, 2025). Staff has completed the process of evaluating the anticipated professional, consulting, construction, and procurement needs for the upcoming fiscal years beginning October 1, 2022 and ending September 30, 2025. The original overall goal for DBE participation proposed for this program was 2.87%. During the public participation process an error was identified within the formula and the new DBE Goal being proposed is 2.03% Originally the DBE Goal was posted and available for public comment through June 18, 2022, however, the date was extended to July 2 d to provide the public with additional time to review and comment on the modified goal. As part of the outreach process, staff hosted two (2) Workshops, the first on June 16, 2022 and the second on June 23, 2022, to discuss the DBE Program, the methodology for establishing the goal and information on the solicitation process, including how to register and bid on projects. The proposed DBE Goal will be considered the final DBE Goal unless substantive public comments are received during the public comment period. If necessary, any revision will be brought to the Board for approval prior to submission to FTA's Civil Rights Office for acceptance. FISCAL IMPACT: No fiscal impact is associated with this item. Grant fundng residing within CAT Grant and Grant Match Funds (424/425) benefit this action to maintain compliance with the Department of Transportation's Federal Transit Administration requirements. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney, is approved as to form and legality and requires majority vote for approval. -JAK GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact associated with this Executive Summary RECOMMENDATION: That the Board approve the proposed DBE Goal for Fiscal Years 2023, 2024, and 2025 and authorize staff to submit the updated goal to FTA's Civil Rights Office for acceptance.

The BCC has received Federal financial assistance from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), and as a condition of receiving this assistance, the BCC agrees to comply with 49 CFR Part 26. It is the policy of the BCC to ensure that DBE's as defined in part 26, have an equal opportunity to receive and participate in FTA-assisted contracts. The BCC will not exclude any person from participation in, deny any person the benefits of, or otherwise discriminate against anyone in connection with the award and performance of any contract covered by 49 CFR part 26 on the basis of race, color, sex, or national origin. In administering its DBE program, the BCC will not, directly or through contractual or other arrangements, use criteria or methods of administration that have the effect of defeating or substantially impairing accomplishment of the objectives of the DBE program with respect to individuals of a particular race, color, sex, or national origin. The Goal setting process contained in this Attachment to Collier County's Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program outlines the adopted process to determine the relative availability of DBE's to perform the types of contracts anticipated in FY 2023; 2024 and 2025. The purpose of this process is to determine the percentage of all ready, willing and able "Establishments" that are DBE'S and to establish a DBE Goal. U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), 49 CFR Part 26 establishes a Three Step Process. Each step used by Collier County is outlined below. V� C4 0 0 UJ I Packet Pg. 946 Step I Collier County / Collier Area Transit has executed the Florida Unified Certification Program Agreement. 49 CFR Part 26 Subpart E- Certification Procedures Section 26.81, requires that all United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) Recipients participate in a statewide Unified Certification Program. Collier County / Collier Area Transit is committed to operate in full compliance with 49 CFR Part 26, Subpart E. Collier County / Collier Area Transit will utilize certified DBE. vendors through the Florida Unified Certification Program Agreement. Collier County / Collier Area Transit expects to have contracting or subcontracting possibilities in the following areas, transit and paratransit services, motor vehicle parts, building contractors, and computer software services. Collier Area Transit staff has reviewed past bidders and contracts to establish a region that includes Collier, Lee, Hillsborough, Miami -Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Martin, Polk and Orange County' This region was used to identify DBE and Non -DBE firms willing and able to work in Collier County. Collier Area Transit staff utilized the Florida Department of Transportation Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Online Directory (https://fdotxwp02.dot.state.fl.us/EqualOpportunityOfflceBusinessDirectorv-/ for certified DBE vendors in the identified region willing to work in Collier County. Staff identified 1,358 ready, willing and able certified DBE's (certified by the FDOT, Equal Opportunity Office, in the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Directory) in the identified region as of May 11, 2022. Collier Area Transit staff utilized the 2019 US Census Bureau County Business Patterns (htips:Hdata.census.gov/cedsci/table?q=CBP2019.CB1900CBP) for ready, willing and able TOTAL establishments that currently provide service in our service area. Staff identified 62,191 ready, willing and able TOTAL establishments that currently provide service in our service area. The process used to obtain the percent of DBE's to TOTAL establishments for the potential contract percent is illustrated below. Certified by FDOT UCP Program DBE 1,336 3.12% Total Potential Bidders 42,816 The percent of DBE establishments by NAICS codes available in the Collier County area is 3.12%. To ensure that Step One Base Figure is as accurate as possible, weighting was used to make CAT's goal calculation more accurate. Weighting takes into consideration the type of work and what GI C4 N 0 0 Uj Packet Pg. 947 percent of the total anticipated expenses it will consume. Categories where established grouping like NAICS codes to potential federally and state funded projects.

After calculating a base figure of the relative availability of DBEs, evidence was examined to determine what adjustment was needed to the base figure in order to arrive at the overall goal. Historical Collier County DBE participation data for FY 19, 20 and 21 was shown to have a median of 2.52% DBE participation. An adjusted figure was established utilizing median past participation figure and the base figure of Step 1. The adjusted figure resulted in 2.03% In order to reflect as accurately as possible, the DBE participation that would be expected in the absence of discrimination, the adjusted figure of 2.03% will be used for Fiscal Years 2023, 2024, and 2025. I Packet Pg. 948 1 Step 3 Race/Gender-Neutral and Race/Gender-Conscious Split methodology. Staff reviewed the "U.S. Department of Transportation Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization" guidelines prior to preparing the DBE Goal. The guidelines for step 3 provide assistance in determining what factors to consider in projecting the overall portion of the goal that will be met through race/gender-neutral means. With one exception, the examples are based on past participation or experience. Based on historical participation and our ability to meet our goal, we find it appropriate to assume that you will be able to achieve similar results through the race/gender-neutral participation of DBE. 2019 Contract Award $1,252,565 DBE Participation (Race Neutral) $18,323 1.46% 2020 Contract Award $1,777,419 DBE Participation (Race Neutral) $44,744 2.52% 2021 Contract Award $2,661,753 DBE Participation (Race Neutral) $122,929 4.62% Percent Race/Gender-Neutral 2.03% Total DBE .03% This data will be continually monitored and updated if necessary, through FY 2023, 2024 and 2025. DBE Outreach and Public Participation Collier Area Transit went through the 30-day public comment period beginning May 19, 2022 through June 18, 2022. As a result of a minor error identified in the public comment period, the public comment period was extended to July 2 nd , 2022. During this process, service alerts were posted on our website in English and Spanish advertising the goal. Advertisement was also placed in the local newspaper requesting comment from the public. A public workshop was hosted on June 16th, 2022 and June 23rd, 2022 with a service alert posted on our website and press release sent out a week before the event. During the workshop, the goal, methodology, and future CAT projects were presented, including how to register to bid on projects.
