GENERAL REQUIREMENTS Section 1.1 Objectives [26.1] It is the policy of the Collier County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) to ensure that Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE)s are defined in part 26, have an equal opportunity to receive and participate in Department of Transportation (DOT)—assisted contracts. It is also our policy: 1. To ensure nondiscrimination in the award and administration of DOT — assisted contracts; 2. To create a level playing field on which DBEs can compete fairly for DOT-assisted contracts; 3. To ensure that the DBE Program is narrowly tailored in accordance with applicable law; 4. To ensure that only firms that fully meet 49 CFR Part 26 eligibility standards are permitted to participate as DBEs; 5. To help remove barriers to the participation of DBEs in DOT assisted contracts; 6. To assist the development of firms that can compete successfully in the market place outside the DBE Program. Section 1.2 Applicability [26.3] The BCC is the recipient of federal transit funds authorized by Titles I, III, V, and VI of ISTEA, Pub. L. 102-240 or by Federal transit laws in Title 49, U.S. Code, or Titles I, II, and V of the Teas-21, Pub. L. 105-178 and as a condition of receiving this financial assistance, the BCC has signed an assurance that it will comply with 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 26. In accordance with these regulations, the BCC has established a DBE Program. Section 1.3 Definitions [26.5] The BCC will adopt the definitions contained in Section 26.5 of 49 CFR Part 26 for this program. Section 1.4 Non-discrimination Requirements [26.1 & 26.7] The BCC will never 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. Page 4 of 36 16011 Section 1.5 Record Keeping Requirements [26.11] The BCC will report DBE participation on a quarterly basis, using DOT Form 4630. These reports will reflect payments actually made to DBEs on DOT-assisted contracts. Section 1.6 Bidders List [26.11] The BCC will create a bidders list, consisting of information about all DBE and non-DBE firms that bid or quote on DOT-assisted contracts. The purpose of this requirement is to allow use of the bidder's list approach to calculating overall goals. The bidder's list will include the name, address, DBE or non-DBE status, age, and annual gross receipts of firms. The BCC will create a listing of offerors by requiring offerors to report the required information, for their firm, and all firms who quote to them on subcontracts, by issuing a requirement that will be placed in all federally funded solicitations. Section 1.7 Federal Financial Assistance Agreement [26.13] The BCC has signed the following assurances, applicable to all DOT-assisted contracts and their administration: 1.7.1 Assurance The BCC shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the award and performance of any DOT assisted contract or in the administration of its DBE Program or the requirements of 49 CFR part 26. The recipient shall take all necessary and reasonable steps under 49 CFR part 26 to ensure nondiscrimination in the award and administration of DOT assisted contracts. The recipient's DBE Program, as required by 49 CFR part 26 and as approved by DOT, is incorporated by reference in this agreement. Implementation of this program is a legal obligation and failure to carry out its terms shall be treated as a violation of this agreement. Upon notification to the BCC of its failure to carry out its approved program, the Department may impose sanction as provided for under part 26 and may, in appropriate cases, refer the matter for enforcement under 18 U.S.C. 1001 and/or the Program Fraud Civil Remedies Act of 1986 (31 U.S.C. 3801 et seq.). This language will appear in financial assistance agreements with sub-recipients. Page 5 of 36 16D11 1.7.2 Contract Assurance In each DOT-assisted contract, the following language will be utilized: The contractor, sub-recipient, or subcontractor shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the performance of this contract. The contractor shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 CFR part 26 in the award and administration of DOT assisted contracts. Failure by the contractor to carry out these requirements is a material breach of this contract, which may result in the termination of this contract or such other remedy as the recipient deems appropriate. 2. ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS Section 2.1 DBE Program Updates [26.21] Since the BCC has received a grant $250,000 or more in FTA planning capital, and or operating assistance in a federal fiscal year, this program will be carried out until all funds from DOT financial assistance have been expended. Updates representing significant changes in the program will be provided to Federal Transit Administration (FTA). Section 2.2 Policy Statement [26.23] The BCC will issue a signed and dated policy statement that expresses its commitment to the DBE program, states its objectives, and outlines responsibilities for its implantation. The statement will be circulated throughout the organization and to the DBE and non-DBE business communities that work on BCC DOT-assisted contracts. The policy statement is found in Attachment 1 to this program document. Section 2.3 DBE Liaison Officer (DBELO) [26.25] We have designated the following individual as our DBE Liaison Officer: Trinity Scott, Public Transit Manager Collier County Alternative Transportation Modes 3299 East Tamiami Trail, Suite 103 Naples, Florida 34112 (239) 252-5832 Trini tvSco tt@colliergov.net In that capacity, the DBELO is responsible for implementing all aspects of the DBE program and ensuring that the BCC complies with all provision of 49 CFR Part 26. The DBELO has direct, independent access to the Collie County Board of County Commission Chair concerning DBE program matters. An organization chart displaying the DBELO's position in the organization is found in Attachment 2 to this program. Page 6 of 36 16011 The DBELO is responsible for developing, implementing and monitoring the DBE program, in coordination with other appropriate officials. The DBELO has a staff of two to assist in the administration of the program. The duties and responsibilities include the following: 1. Gathers and reports statistical data and other information as required by DOT. 2. Reviews third party contracts and purchase requisitions for compliance with this program. 3. Works with all departments to set overall annual goals. 4. Ensures that bid notices and requests for proposals are available to DBEs in a timely manner. 5. Identifies contracts and procurements so that DBE goals are included in solicitations (both race-neutral methods and contract specific goals attainment and identifies ways to improve progress. 6. Analyzes BCC's progress toward attainment and identifies ways to improve progress. 7. Participates in pre-bid meetings. 8. Advises the CEO\governing body on DBE matters and achievement. 9. Provides DBEs with information and assistance in preparing bids, obtaining bonding and insurance. 10. Plans and participates in DBE training seminars. 11. Acts as liaison to the Uniform Certification Process in Florida. 12. Provides outreach to DBEs and community organizations to advise them of opportunities. 13. Maintains the BCC's updated directory on certified DBEs. Section 2.4 DBE Financial Institutions [26.27] It is the policy of the BCC to investigate the full extent of services offered by financial institutions owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals in the community, to make reasonable efforts to use these institutions, and to encourage prime contractors on DOT-assisted contract to make use of these institutions. Notification of solicitations for financial services will be sent to the institutions identified in the United States Department of Treasury, Financial Management Services Division, Minority Bank Deposit Program (MBDP) listings of financial institutions in the State of Florida. The availability of such institutions can be obtained at the U.S. Department of Treasure website http://www.fms.treas.gov/mbdp/current list.html. This element will be re-evaluated at least every five years or when the Program is updated, whichever is earlier. Page 7 of 36 16D11 Section 2.5 Prompt Payment Mechanisms [26.29] The BCC will include the following clause in each DOT-assisted prime contract: The prime contractor agrees to pay each subcontractor under this prime contract for satisfactory performance of its contract no later than 10 days from the receipt of each payment the prime contract receives from BCC. If retainage from DBE subcontractors is allowed per the contract, the prime contractor agrees further to return retainage payments to each subcontractor within 10 days after the subcontractors work is satisfactorily completed. Any delay or postponement of payment from the above referenced time frame may occur only for good cause following written approval of the BCC. This clause applies to both DBE and non- DBE subcontracts. Section 2.6 Directory [26.31] The BCC is required to participate in the Uniform Certification Program (UCP). The combined statewide directory, identifying all firms eligible to participate as a certified DBE, may be located at the Florida Department of Transportation website http://www.dot.state.fl.us/equalopportunityoffice/. Section 2.7 Overconcentration [26.33] The BCC has not identified that overconcentration exists in the types of work that DBEs perform. Section 2.8 Business Development Programs [26.35] The BCC is not required to establish a formal business development program. The following activities are designed to ensure that DBEs and Small Business Enterprises (SBEs) have the equal opportunity to participate in contracts: • Participate in training seminars and community outreach activities for the purpose of informing potential contractors of available business opportunities. • Email procurement advertisements to business that have been identified as certified DBEs and SBEs, which are likely to participate on the contract. • Encourage DBE and SBE attendance at solicitation conferences. Page 8 of 36 16011 Section 2.9 Monitoring and Enforcement Mechanisms [26.37] The BCC will take the following monitoring and enforcement mechanisms to ensure compliance with 49 CFR Part 26. 1. We will bring to the attention of the Department of Transportation any false, fraudulent, or dishonest conduct in connection with the program, so that DOT can take the steps (e.g., referral to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution, referral to the DOT Inspector General, action under suspension and debarment or Program Fraud and Civil Penalties rules) provided in 26.109. 2. We will consider similar action under out own legal authorities, including responsibility determinations in future contracts. 3. We will also provide a monitoring and enforcement mechanism to verify that work committed to DBEs at contract award is actually performed by the DBEs. This will be accomplished by requiring the Contractor to provide a DBE Participation Report to the BCC with each invoice submitted to the BCC for payment. Failure of the Contractor to provide the DBE Participation Report may result in the invoice not being paid until the Contractor has provided the report. 4. We will keep a running tally of actual payments to DBE firms for work committed to them at the time of contract award. 5. The BCC will require prime contractors to maintain records and documents of payments to DBEs for three years following the performance of the contract. The records will be made available for inspection upon request by any authorized representative of the BCC or DOT. This reporting requirement also extends to any certified DBE subcontractor. 6. We will perform interim reviews of contract payments to DBEs. The review will examine payments to DBE subcontractors to ensure that the actual amount paid to DBE subcontractors equals or exceeds the dollar amounts states in the schedule of DBE participation. Section 2.10 Fostering Small Business Participation [26.39] The BCC has incorporated the following non-discriminatory elements into its DBE Program, in order to facilitate competition on DOT-assisted public works projects by small business concerns (both DBEs and non-DBE small businesses); • Removal of unnecessary and unjustified bundling of contract requirements that may preclude SBE participation in procurements as prime contractors or subcontractors; and • Letting prime contracts of a size that small business can reasonably compete for and perform. 3.0 GOALS, GOOD FAITH EFFORTS, AND COUNTING Section 3.1 Set-asides or Quotas [26.43] The BCC does not use quotas in any way in the administration of this DBE program. Page 9 of 36 16011 Section 3.2 Overall Goals [26.45] A description of the methodology to calculate the overall goal and the goal calculations can be found in Attachment 3 to this program. The goal will be to update every three years based on the January 28, 2011, Federal Register. In accordance with Section 26.45(f) the BCC will submit its overall goal to DOT on August 1, every three years. The BCC may adjust the three year overall goal during the three year period to which it applies, in order to reflect changed circumstances. The BCC will submit an adjustment to FTA for review and approval. The BCC will, at a minimum, consult with minority and general contractor's groups, community organizations, and other officials or organizations to obtain information concerning the availability of disadvantaged and non-disadvantaged business, the effects of discrimination on opportunities for DBES, and the BCC's efforts to establish a level playing field for the participation of DBE's. Following this consultation, the BCC will publish a notice of the proposed overall goals, informing the public that the proposed goal and its rational are available for inspection during normal business hours at your principal office for 30 days following the date of the notice, and informing the public that you and DOT will accept comments on the goals for 45 days from the date of the notice. The publishing of the notice of the proposed overall goal will be in a newspaper, or other media, of general circulation focused on minority readers. The notice will also be included on the BCC's Internet website. Normally this notice will be issued by June 1. The notice must include addresses to which comments may be sent and addresses (including offices and websites) where the proposal may be reviewed. The overall goal submission to DOT will include a summary of information and comments received during this public participation process and the BCC's responses. The BCC will begin using our overall goal on October 1, unless the BCC has received other instructions from DOT. If the BCC establishes a goal on a project basis, the BCC will begin using our goal by the time of the first solicitation for a DOT-assisted contract for the project. Section 3.3 Failure to meet Overall Goals [26.47] If the BCC does not have an approved DBE Program or overall goal, or if the BCC fails to implement the program in good faith, the BCC is in noncompliance with its program and corrective action(s) must be documented. The analysis does not have to be transmitted to DOT. If the BCC fails to meet its overall goals in a given year, a determination of the reason(s) or unless the BCC is notified by DOT of the required analysis, the analysis and corrective action(s) will be retained for three years and it will be made available to the FTA upon request for their review. Page 10 of 36 16011 Section 3.4 Transit Vehicle Manufacturers Goals [26.49] The BCC will require each transit vehicle manufacturer, as a condition of being authorized to bid or propose on FTA-assisted transit vehicle procurements, to certify that it has complied with the requirements of this section. Alternatively, the BCC may, at its discretion and with FTA approval, establish project-specific goals for DBE participation in the procurement of transit vehicles in lieu of the TVM complying with this element of the program. Section 3.5 Breakout of Estimated Race-Neutral & Race-Conscious Participation [26.51 (a-c)] The breakout of estimated race-neutral and race-conscious participation can be found in Attachment 4 to this program. This section of the program will be updated when the goal calculation is updated. Section 3.6 Contract Goals [26.51 (d-g)] The BCC will use contract goals to meet any portion of the overall goal the BCC does not project being able to meet using race-neutral means. Contract goals are established so that, over the period to which the overall goal applies, they will cumulatively result in meeting any portion of our overall goal that is not projected to be met through the use of race-neutral means. The BCC will establish contract goals only on those DOT-assisted contracts that have subcontracting possibilities. The BCC need not establish a contract goal on every such contract, and the size of contract goals will be adapted to the circumstances of each such contract (e.g., type and location of work, availability of DBEs to perform the particular type of work.) The BCC will express a contract goal as a percentage of total amounts of DOT-assisted contract. The BCC will arrange solicitations, times for the presentation of bids, quantities, specifications and delivery schedules in ways that facilitate participation by DBEs and other small business and by making contracts more accessible to small businesses, by means such as those provided in section 2.10 of this document. Section 3.7 Good Faith Efforts Procedures [26.53] The obligation of the bidder/offeror is to make good faith efforts. The bidder/offeror can demonstrate that it has done so either by meeting the contract goal or documenting good faith efforts. Examples of good faith efforts are found in Appendix A to Part 26. The DBELO is responsible for determining whether a bidder/offeror who has not met the contract goal has documented sufficient good faith efforts to be regarded as responsible. The BCC will ensure that all information is complete and accurate and adequately documents the bidder/offer's good faith efforts before the BCC commits to the performance of the contract by the bidder/offeror. Page 11 of 36 16011 Each solicitation for which a contract goal has been established will require the bidders/offerors to submit the following information: • The names and addresses of DBE firms that will participate in the contract; • A description of the work that each DBE will perform; • The dollar amount of the participation of each DBE firm participating; • Written and signed documentation of commitment to use a DBE subcontractor whose participation it submits to meet a contract goal; • Written and signed confirmation from the DBE that it is participating in the contract as provided in the prime contractors commitment and • If the contract goal is not met, evidence of good faith efforts. 3.7.1 Administrative reconsideration [26.53(d)] Within 5 days of being informed by BCC that it is not responsive because it has not documented sufficient good faith efforts, a bidder/offeror may request administrative reconsideration. Bidder/offerors should make this request in writing to the following reconsideration official: Purchasing Director, Purchasing Department, 3327 East Tamiami Trail, Naples, Florida 34112. The reconsideration official will not have played any role in the original determination that the bidder/offeror did not document sufficient good faith efforts. As part of this reconsideration, the bidder/offeror will have the opportunity to provide written documentation or argument concerning the issue of whether it met the goal or made adequate good faith efforts to do so. The bidder/offeror will have the opportunity to meet in person with our reconsideration official to discuss the issue of whether it met the goal or made adequate good faith efforts to do. We will send the bidder/offeror a written decision on reconsideration, explaining the basis for finding that the bidder did or did not meet the goal or make adequate good faith efforts to do so. The result of the reconsideration process is not administratively appealable to the Department of Transportation. 3.7.2 Good Faith Efforts when a DBE is terminated or substituted on a contract 126.53(0] The BCC will require a contractor to make good faith efforts to replace a DBE that is terminated or has otherwise failed to complete its work on a contract with another certified DBE, to the extent needed to meet the contract goal. The BCC will require the prime contractor to notify the DBE Liaison officer immediately of the DBE's inability or unwillingness to perform and provide reasonable documentation. In this situation, the BCC will require the prime contractor to obtain our prior approval of the substitute DBE and to provide copies of new or amended subcontracts, or documentation of good faith efforts. Page 12 of 36 16011 If the contractor fails or refuses to comply in the time specified, our contracting office will issue an order stopping all or part of payment/work until satisfactory action has been taken. If the contractor still fails to comply, the contracting officer may issue a termination for default proceeding. Section 3.8 Counting DBE Participation [26.55] The BCC will count DBE participation toward overall and contract goals as provided in 49 CFR 26.55. Only the value of the work actually performed by the DBE will count toward DBE goals. Such value will be counted as follows: • The entire amount that is performed by the DBE; • The entire amount of reasonable fees or commissions charged by a DBE firm for providing a bona fide service or for providing bonds or insurance required for the performance of the DOT-assisted contract; • The value of work subcontracted by a DBE to another DBE is counted toward DBE goals. • When a DBE performs as part of a joint venture, the portion of the total dollar value of the contract equal to the defined portion of the work of the contract that the DBE performs will be counted. • A DBE's participation will not be counted toward DBE goals of the prime contractor or the BCC's overall goal until the DBE is paid. 4.0 CERTIFICATION STANDARDS [26.61 —26.73] The BCC is a non-certifying member of the Unified Certification Program (UCP) in the State of Florida. All firms must apply through the UCP to be certified in the State of Florida. The local certifying agency in the southwest Florida area is the Lee County Port Authority located at the Southwest Florida International Airport. The BCC will use the DBE directory administered by the Florida Department of Transportation and listed on the UCP website to verify if a firm is DBE certified by the Florida UCP. The Florida UCP certifies DBEs in accordance to the Federal Regulations. An Annual Meeting of the Florida UCP is scheduled for all members to attend and discuss any issues or needed changes to the UCP Program 5.0 CERTIFICATION PROCEDURES [26.81] The BCC is a non-certifying member of a Unified Certification Program (UCP) administered by Florida Department of Transportation Equal Opportunity Office, 605 Suwannee Street, MS 65, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-0450. The EEO Office can be contacted by telephone: (850) 414- 4747, fax: (850) 414-4879, and website at www.dot.state.fl.us/equalopportunityoffice/DBEProgram. The Florida UPC will meet all of the requirements of certification procedures. Page 13 of 36 16011 6.0 DENIAL OF DBE STATUS AND APPEALS [26.83 —26.91] Any firm or complainant may appeal our decision in a certification matter to DOT. Such appeals may be sent to: Department of Transportation Office of Civil Rights Certification Appeals Branch 400 7th Street, SW Room 2104 Washington, D.C. 20590 7.0 INFORMATION, CONFIDENTIALITY, COOPERATION [26.109] Section 7.1 Availability of records In responding to requests for information concerning any aspect of the DBE program, the BCC complies with provisions of the Federal Freedom of Information and Privacy Acts (5 U.S.C. 552 and 552a). The BCC may make available to the public any information concerning the DBE program release of which is not prohibited by Federal law. Section 7.2 Confidentiality Notwithstanding any provision of Federal or state law, the BCC will not release any information that may reasonably be construed as confidential business information to any third party without the written consent of the firm that submitted the information. However, the BCC must transmit this information to DOT in any certification appeal proceeding or to any other state to which the individual's firm has applied for certification.

Complainants are advised that, in some circumstances, failure to waive the privilege may result in the closure of the investigation or dismissal of the proceeding or hearing. Section 7.3 Cooperation All participants in the Department's DBE program (including, but not limited to, recipients, DBE firms and applicants for DBE certification, complainants and appellants, and contractors using DBE firms to meet contract goals) are required to cooperate fully and promptly with DOT and recipient compliance reviews, certification reviews, investigations, and other requests for information. Failure to do so shall be a ground for appropriate action against the party involved.

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 2011; 2012 and 2013. 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. • Page 20 of 36 16011 Step 1 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 D.B.E. vendors through the Florida Unified Certification Program Agreement. Collier County / Collier Area Transit expects to have contracting or subcontracting possibilities in the following areas, paratransit services, motor vehicle parts, building contractors and electrical contractors. On March 19, 2010, Collier Area Transit staff utilized the Florida Department of Transportation Equal Opportunity Office Disadvantaged Business Online Directory for certified DBE vendors in Collier County and FDOT District One. Staff identified 5 ready,willing and able certified DBE's (certified by the FDOT, Equal Opportunity Office,in the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Directory) as published as transit certified for Collier County and FDOT District One as of March 19,2010. Staff identified 162 ready,willing and able TOTAL establishments transit certified DBE's • (certified by the FDOT, Equal Opportunity Office, in the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Directory)that currently provide service in our service area. The process used to obtain the percent of DBE's to TOTAL establishments by NAICS code and the potential contract percent is illustrated below. Regional Certified by FOOT UCP Program DBE 5 5.67%Weighted average Total FDOT UCP Program DBE Potential Bidders 162 The percent of DBE establishments by NAICS codes available in the Collier County and FDOT District One area is 5.84%. Collier Area Transit has 3 paratransit subcontractors that appear to qualify for FDOT UCP Transit Certification as a DBE Vendor. Each has been provided repeated information on becoming certified,and each continues to receive such information. • Page 21 of 36 16 011 Attachment 4 Breakout of Estimated Race Neutral & Race Conscious Participation Page 22 of 36 16011 cat_ ERAREATNST Collier Area Transit Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program Fiscal Year 2011/2012/2013 Review Wir April 9, 2010 ' '" Name of Grantee: Collier County/Collier Area Transit Approximate number of un-obligated funds available for contracting in Fiscal Year 2011-2012-2013: Based on the Program of Projects submitted the last three years and taking into consideration the future projects for the next three years as outlined in the financially feasible ie` Transportation Development Plan (TDP) Collier Area Transit is forecasting the submission of 5307 grant applications FY 2011, 2012 and 2013 as outlined below. , v 1307 Fro t rain ofAPlro , FY FY FY Item/ALI 201012011 2011/2012 2012/2013 �gt 1%Enhancement $25,628 $27,679 $29,894 1%Security $25,629 $27,679 $29,894 r 10%ADA $256,291 $276,794 $298,938 Rolling stock Replacement $1,088,000 $1,132,900 $1,132,900 Preventive Maintenance $689,883 $825,412 $1,020,275 Operations $477,477 $477,477 $477477 .1" Total Amount _ $2;! ,909 . p2,767,942 $2,389,377.,.

Step 2 of the Goal setting process is designed to adjust the Step One base figure to make it as precise as possible. All "relevant and reliable" data must be " gathered and considered during this step of the process. (Relevant and reliable data include past participation, evidence from "disparity" studies, statistical disparities in the ability of DBE's to obtain financing, etc., data on self employment, education and training, and any other data that would help to better measure the percentage of work that DBE's would be likely to obtain in the absence of discrimination.)

You are not required to submit regular updates to your DBE program as long as you remain in compliance;you are required to notify FTA of any significant changes to the program. In assessing the program,we examined the overall goal submitted for FY 2010. Your DBE goal information for the period of August 1,2010 through August 1,2013is as follows: 5.67% 5.67% 0% FTA's review considered the overall goal as well as the description of the data and methodology used in arriving at the overall goal,including the base figure calculation and evidence supporting the calculation;adjustments,if any,made to the base figure and the evidence supporting the adjustments;a summary of the relevant evidence in your jurisdiction; the projection of the proportion of your overall goal that you will meet through race neutral as opposed to race conscious means and the basis of your projections;and the evidence of public participation in setting your overall goal. Page 29 of 36 16011 'After reviewing this information,we have determined that the goal setting methodology you used is consistent with the requirements of 49 CFR§26.45 and that you have followed the requirements for public participation in setting your overall goal consistent with 49 CFR §26.45(g). Further,we have also reviewed your projection of the portion of your overall goal that you expect to meet through race neutral and race conscious means. That projection is subject to modification during the fiscal year as provided in 49 CFR§26.51. Since an annual review of your goal is required,if you haven't already done so,please submit an updated goal as soon as possible. As you are aware,you must submit a separate overall DBE goal for programs funded by the Federal Highway Administration and the Federal Aviation Administration.
