October 15, 2020 City of Austin P.O. Box 1088 Austin, TX 78767 Reference: City of Austin Disparity Study Council Member, I wanted to contact you directly regarding the current City of Austin Disparity Study. The stated purpose of this research was to compile evidence regarding challenges and needed remedies for the current W/MBE program. I’d like to share some information with you directly regarding the impact of the current system. ECM is a Project Delivery firm with offices in Austin and El Paso and successful projects across the state. We are Project and Construction Managers serving as owners’ representatives on construction projects for city leaders for 37 years. We are considered a Professional Services firm and are procured through and RFQ process. The ECM staff consists of architects, engineers, builders and other construction-related professionals and numbers in the low sixties. We are considered a small, minority business in nearly all of the markets where we operate. While the capital city is a key market for the firm, the City of Austin (COA) is the notable exception to our state-wide minority business designation. The “Personal Net Worth” component of Austin’s minority business definition excludes us from competition as a minority (prime) firm. This policy eliminates local business opportunities and forces us to compete against large, national, and international firms. These organizations often boast a workforce that is hundreds (or even thousands) of times larger than ours. While we know that we are a highly-capable firm, it is sometimes difficult to compete head-to-head on a “level playing field” with these global giants. Under the current City of Austin minority definition, once a minority business reaches the Personal Net Worth ceiling, they are no longer eligible for the minority designation. Once this happens, the small firm that has grown in experience, capabilities and value to the city is pushed out and replaced by a new crop of inexperienced companies filling the procurement vacuum. This in fact makes the owner (City of Austin) a revolving door that educates and graduates firms, never really taking advantage of the investment that they’ve made in nurturing each of these organizations. Raising or eliminating the PNW ceiling will allow these (still small) firms to continue providing experience and professional services to the city and satisfying the intended purpose providing opportunities to small minority businesses while receiving quality services for the taxpayers. In terms of consistency, it should be …
City of Austin – Minority Participation Comparison of MBE/WBE Programs vs. other Cities And resulting MBE/WBE spend since the 2015 Disparity Study Jan 31st 2021 Position on Minority Participation - Both the US Hispanic Contractor’s Association and the Greater Austin Hispanic Chamber of Commerce have identified “Increasing Minority Participation” for our members as a key initiative for 2019/2020 and will work diligently to advocate on our members behalf ensuring we put forth our best efforts to increase the percentage of contracts awarded to minority/women-owned businesses - Collectively, we support approximately 1,800 local business members in the Greater Austin area, the majority whom are small minority/women-owned businesses. Approximate membershipGreater Austin Hispanic Chamber of Commerce600 U.S. Hispanic Contractors Association1,200 Subtotal1,800 The City of Austin’s Aspirational Goals - The City of Austin has some of the most ambitious goals in the state when it comes to Minority participation….second only to San Antonio. - The Question is whether the structural elements of the program allow MBEs/WBEs to succeed vs. these aspirational goals. - Let’s see what the data says…..

Minorities and Women Chapter III demonstrates that current M/WBE availability levels in the City of Austin’s market area, as measured in Chapter II, are substantially lower in most instances than those that we would expect to observe if commercial markets operated in a race- and gender-neutral manner and that these levels are statistically significant. In other words, minorities and women are substantially and significantly less likely to own their own businesses as the result of discrimination than would be expected based upon their observable characteristics, including age, education, geographic location and industry. We find that these groups also suffer: - - whether they work as employees or entrepreneurs. substantial and significant earnings disadvantages relative to comparable nonminority males, The 2015 City of Austin’s Disparity Study identified that we have an issue that has existed for a significant period of time that required action and changes in policy. 2015 COA Disparity Study – Key Recommendations The 3rd party (i.e. Consultant) recommendations in the 2015 Disparity study were extensive….these are a few of the key recommendations that we thought as having the potential for …
MBE/WBE and Small Business Enterprise Procurement Program Advisory Committee Meeting Minutes Tuesday – March 2, 2021 The MBE/WBE and Small Business Enterprise Procurement Program Advisory Committee convened in a Regular meeting on Tuesday, February 2, 2021 via videoconference.

BOARD MEMBERS IN ATTENDANCE: Eliza May (Chair), Reginald World (Vice-Chair), Lena Banks, Daniel Berner, Usha Boddapu, Barbra Boeta, Tina Cannon, Schiller Liao, Ahmed Moledina CITIZEN COMMUNICATION: GENERAL There were no speakers. 1. APPROVAL OF MINUTES The minutes for the regular meeting of February 2, 2020 were considered for approval. The minutes were approved on a motion by Committee Member, Schiller Liao and seconded by Committee Member, Ahmed Moledina. Minutes approved on an 8-0 vote. 2. NEW BUSINESS For discussion and possible action on recommendations to City Council (City Code § 2-1-163(B)) regarding the following: a. Discussion and appropriate action regarding information on the City’s MBE/WBE participation and usage; and the use of a Personal Net Worth (PNW) and the Economic Disadvantage definition in the MBE/WBE Procurement Program. • Frank Fuentes and Salvador Chavarria of the US Hispanic Contractors Association (USHCA) and Greater Austin Hispanic Chamber of Commerce both presented on this item. o One of their key goals is to increase minority participation of their members. Have been working on this goal for about two years. They represent over 1800 businesses in Austin ranging from construction firms, IT firms, professional firms, and commodity firms. o Reviewed Austin’s certification process compared to the other four municipalities. Austin is the only city that does not accept certificates from other regional organizations. Many of our members have their regional MBEs and state HUBs but no COA MBE. Page 1 of 10 o Austin imposes a personal net worth (PNW) limit for any owners of any business that have MBE/WBE certification. o The payment process on contracts, lack of reciprocity with certification, and firm size limits have considerably decreased the pool of MBE/WBE firms. o Our recommendations are as follows: Eliminate Personal Net Worth cap and support immediate State HUB reciprocity for City projects while firms recertify. Expand pool of MBE/WBE firms prior to the new Disparity Study, then revise the program once the Disparity Study is completed. Request City Council to drive accountability to increase MBE/WBE/SBE participation as part of the COVID-19 economic recovery plan. Create quarterly reports and present …
