August 19, 2015 In addition, the County of Kittitas, WA will publish a notice announcing our proposed overall goal before submission to the operating administration on August 1st. The notice will be posted on our official internet web site and may be posted in any other sources (e .g., minority-focused media, trade association publications). If the proposed goal changes following review by the operating administration, the revised goal will be posted on our official internet web site. We will inform the public that the proposed overall goal and its rationale are available for inspection during normal business hours at our principal office and that the County of Kittitas, WA and DOT/FAA will accept comments on the goals for 30 days from the date of the notice . Notice of the comment period will include the addresses to which comments may be sent (including offices and websites) where the proposal may be reviewed. The public comment period will not extend the August 1st deadline. Our Overall Three-Year DBE Goal submission to DOT/FAA will include a summary of information and comments received, if any, during this public participation process and our responses. We will begin using our overall goal on October 1 of the reporting period, unless we have received other instructions from DOT. Section 26.45 (c) -Project Goals If permitted or required by the FAA Administrator we will express our overall goals as a percentage of funds for a particular grant or project or group of grants and/or projects, including entire projects. Like other overall goals, a project goal may be adjusted to reflect changed circumstances, with the concurrence of the appropriate operating administration. A project goal is an overall goal, and must meet all the substantive and procedural requirements of this section pertaining to overall goals. A project goal covers the entire length of the project to which it applies. The project goal should include a projection of the DBE participation anticipated to be obtained during each fiscal year covered by the project goa/. The funds for the project to which the project goal pertains are separated from the base from which your regular overall goal, applicable to contracts not part of the project covered by a project goal, is calculated. If we establish a goal on a project basis, we will begin using our goal by the time of the first solicitation for a DOT-assisted contract for the project. Section 26.45(d) -Prior Operating Administration Concurrent The County of Kittitas, WA understands that we are not required to obtain prior operating administration concurrence with our overall goal. However, if the operating administration's review suggests that our overall goal has not been correctly calculated or that our method for calculating goals is inadequate, the operating administration may, after consulting with us, adjust our overall goal or require that we do so. The adjusted overall goal is binding. In evaluating the adequacy or soundness of the methodology used to derive the overall goal, the U.S. DOT operating administration will be guided by Page 11 of 43
