Program administered by the Small & Minority Business Resource Department Edward Campos Director/ ACDBE/DBE Liaison Officer Tamela Saldana Compliance Officer/ ACDBE/DBE Program Designee Jolene Cochran Program Compliance Coordinator/ ACDBE/DBE Program Designee PURPOSE • Overview of the U.S. DOT Disadvantaged Business Programs •Overview of the City of Austin’s ACDBE Program • Highlight ACDBE Program Requirements • Provide an ACDBE Goals and Methodology update • ACDBE Outreach Efforts U.S. Department of Transportation Disadvantaged Business Programs THE HISTORY In 1983, Congress enacted the first Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) statutory provision to ensure funds authorized for the highway and transit Federal financial assistance programs be expended with DBEs. In 1987, Congress re-authorized and amended the statutory DBE/ACDBE programs and added women to the groups presumed to be disadvantaged. Since 1987 DOT has established a single DBE/ACDBE goal, encompassing both firms owned by women and minority group members. The three major DOT Operating Administrations (OAs) in the DBE program are the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). The DOT DBE program is administered by state and local transportation agencies under the rules and guidelines in the Code of Federal Regulations. (Title 49, Part 26). The FAA maintains a separate program for concessions in airports under (Title 49, Part 23) known as the Airport Concession Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (ACDBE) Program. HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS Regulations require recipients of DOT Federal financial assistance establish goals for the participation of disadvantaged entrepreneurs and certify the eligibility of DBE firms to participate in their DOT-assisted contracts. Recipients are state and local transportation agencies; FAA, FHWA & FTA. Each DOT-assisted State and local transportation agency are required to • Establish narrowly-tailored goals. • Evaluate DOT-assisted contracts throughout the year • Establish contract specific DBE/ACDBE subcontracting goals to ensure nondiscrimination in federally-assisted procurements. ABOUT THE ACDBE PROGRAM The U.S. DOT’s ACDBE program through the Department of Aviation provides a vehicle for increasing the participation of women and minorities in state and local procurement for airports. Federal Regulations require Departments of Aviation that receive USDOT financial assistance to establish a ACDBE Program and goals for the participation of ACDBE’s. Departments of Aviation are required to establish annual ACDBE goals and review contracts throughout the year to establish project-specific ACDBE subcontracting goals. ACDBE Program Participants All Large Hub, Medium Hub or General Aviation Airports with commercial service • Dallas/Fort Worth Airport (DFW) • George …
