The new regulations are intended to ensure a level playing field on which minority, women and other disadvantaged small businesses can compete for federally -assisted highway, transit and airport contracts. These regulations require the City of Lodi to submit a DBE program and Overall Annual Goal that meets the new regulations as a condition of using FHWA and FTA. The new year's program must be submitted in June, 2001, for the year October 1, 2001 through September 30, 2002. Padilla & Associates were hired to develop the DBE Program and goals for last Federal fiscal year. The new Program requires that an overall goal be re-established and each project which uses federal funds must have its own specific goal. The consultant will prepare the overall annual DBE Goal for FFY 2001102 utilizing 49CFR Part 26 goal setting methodology, including calculation of the base figure and required analysis; determine the City's race -neutral and race -conscious participation projections and corresponding rationale towards meeting the overall annual goal; and prepare required submissions to Caltrans.
