BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The U.S. Departmentof Transportation (DOT) regulations under49CFR, Part 26, Participation by Disadvantaged Business Enterprises in Departmentof Transportation Financial Assistance Programs, ensures fair competition for all DOT contracts. The regulations are intended to insure a level playing field on which minority, women, and other disadvantaged small businesses can compete for federal ly-assisted highway, transit and airport contracts. These regulations require the City of Lodi to submit an Overall Annual Goal that meets the regulations as a condition of using Federal funds. The Overall Annual Goal must be submitted in June 2005 for the Federalfiscal year of October 1,2005 through September 30,2006. Padilla &Associates, Inc., was hired to develop the DBE Program and goals for the last four Federalfiscal years. The consultant will prepare the Overall Annual DBE Goal for Federal Fiscal Year 2005106 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. They will also develop the required public notice and compile public facilitation summaryfor submission to Caltrans. Staff is able to perform some of the required details in submitting the overall annual goal. However, there are tasks, such as the goal -setting methodology, that need to be done by the consultant. There are complex analysis and calculations involved that staff is unable to perform, and there is not local training offered so that staff may be able to handle it in-house. FISCAL IMPACT FUNDINGAVAI Use of Federal aid is at risk if no DBE goal is established. Transit Admi mes R.
