11. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no impact on the General Fund. Adoption of annual DBE goals is a pre-requisite to
maintain eligibility for Federal funding in FFY 2002/2003.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
The federal government issued revised regulations for federal aid recipients to follow in
establishing their DBE goal. Prior to FFY 2000-2001, the practice of reaffirming annually our
existing DBE goals without review or public participation is no longer allowed.
Federal regulations require notification of the proposed DBE goals to minority and women groups,
trade organizations, and the general public. Notices of the proposed Annual DBE Goal and
Methodology Reports' availability for comment were placed in the San Francisco Chronicle,
Contra Costa Times and MECCA Construction and Business Weekly(minority-focus publication).
Notices were also sent directly to minority and women groups, trade organizations, and special
interest group representatives. The Annual DBE Goal and Methodology Reports were available
for review on the Internet, as well as in hard copy.
No comments were received during the requisite 45-day public comment period.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Board does not take the recommended actions, FHWA(through Caltrans)and FAA will stop
authorizing Federal funds earmarked for County road, bridge, and airport rehabilitation and
improvement projects.
