HomeMy WebLinkAboutAgenda Report - December 6, 2000 E-09AGENDA TITLE: Adopt a Resolution Approving the Final Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program and
Established Overall Annual Goal of 8% for Federal Fiscal Year 2001
MEETING DATE: December 6, 2000
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt a resolution approving the Final Disadvantaged Business
Enterprise (DBE) Program and Established Overall Annual DBE Goal of 8% for Federal Fiscal
Year 2001, to facilitate timely submission to the California Department of Transportation
(Caltrans) for funding authority approval, by January 1, 2001, on behalf of the City of Lodi.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City of Lodi is required to develop and submit a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise
Program and Overall Annual Goal for DBE participation on U.S. Department of
Transportation (DOT) assisted contracts, as a condition of federal financial assistance,
pursuant to recently revised regulations set forth under Title 49 CFR Part 26,
Participation by Disadvantaged Business Enterprises in Department of Transportation Programs. In accordance with these
DBE regulations, the City of Lodi has developed a Final DBE Program and Established Overall Annual DBE Goal for Federal
Fiscal Year (FFY) 2001, to ensure full compliance with relevant regulatory requirements.
The Final Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program and Established Overall Annual DBE Goal of 8% for
FFY 2001 DOT -assisted contracts addresses critical components and fulfills specific requirements for narrow tailoring in
accordance with Title 49 CFR Part 26. The City of Lodi's Established Overall Annual DBE Goal was developed utilizing the
federal prescribed two-step goal -setting methodology. The first step included establishing a Base Figure utilizing quantifiable
evidence to determine the relative availability of DBEs within specified industries identified as a part of the City's DOT -
assisted contracting projects anticipated to be awarded by the City of Lodi within FFY 2001. The City utilized the Caltrans
Directory of Certified DBE firms and the Census Bureau County Business Patterns database to complete this step. Upon
establishing the Base Figure, the second step was for the City to survey and assess other known relevant evidence to
determine what additional adjustments, if any, were needed to narrowly tailor the Base Figure to the City of Lodi's market
area. Factors considered in the adjustment of the Base Figure included the historical and current capacity of DBEs
measured by actual attainments on similar projects. Caltrans has approved the City's DBE Program and is waiting for
Council approval and the City Manager's signature before they sign off on the program.
The Established Overall Annual Goal for Federal Fiscal Year 2001 will be updated annually to maintain relevancy to local
market conditions and factors impacting DBE availability.
City Council approval and adoption of the Final Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program and Established Overall
Annual DBE Goal for Federal Fiscal Year 2001 is required to ensure compliance with Department of Transportation's federal
funding requirements, provisions and financial responsibilities. Failure to do so by the January 1, 2001 timeline will directly
jeopardize the City of Lodi's federal financial assistance. A copy of the document is on file at Public Works Department.
FUNDING: None needed at this time. However, preparation of this program required a significant administrative effort. In
order to reduce necessary staff time, the City pooled our resources with the cities of Tracy, Manteca, Ripon and
Escalon to retain Padilla and Associates to do much of the work. Council previously approved up to $6,500 for
this participation. We wish to acknowledge and thank the Cit Ripon for taking the lead on this; we intend to
continue using Padilla for ongoing assista ce i ist i <Jr.s
program on a project -by -project basis.
