If the does not anticipate awarding DOT/FAA funded prime contracts the cumulative total value of which exceeds $250,000 during any of the years within the three-year reporting period, we will not develop an overall goal; however this DBE Program will remain in effect and the . will seek to fulfill the objectives outlined in 49 CFR Part 26.1. Step t. The first step is to determine the relative availability of DBEs in the market area, "base figure". We will use DBE Directories and Census Bureau Data as a method to determine our base figure. The second step Is to adjust the "base figure" percentage from Step 1 so that it reflects as accurately as possible the DHE participation the recipient would expect in the absence of discrimination based on past participation, a disparity study and/or information about barriers to entry to past competitiveness of DBEs on Contracts. Any methodology we choose will be based on demonstrable evidence of local market conditions and be designed to ultimately attain a goal that is rationally related to the relative availability of DBEs in our market. We understand that the exclusive use of a list of prequalifled contractors or plan holders, or a bidders list that does not comply with the requirements of paragraph (c)(2) of this section (above), is not an acceptable altemative means of determining the availability of DBEs.] Step 2. Once we have calculated a base figure, we will examine all of the evidence available In our jurisdiction to determine what adjustment, if any, is needed to the base figure to arrive at our overall goal. If the evidence does not suggest an adjustment is necessary, then no adjustment shall be made. 26.45 In establishing the overall goal, the will provide for consultation and publication. This includes consultation with minority, women's and general contractor groups, community organizations, and other officials or organizations which could be expected to have Information concerning the availabiiity of disadvantaged and non -disadvantaged businesses, the effects of discrimination on opportunities for DBEs, and the 's efforts to establish a level playing field for the participation of DBEs. The consultation will include a scheduled, direct, interactive exchange (e.g., a face-to-face meeting, video conference, teleconference) with as many interested stakeholders as Page 10 of 44
