1. MODIFY Contra Costa County's MBE/WBE Program, as it applies to federally-financed
highway projects, to comply with the "Surface Transportation and Uniform Relocation
Assistance Act of 1987" (aka "Federal Aid Highway Act of 1987") , which presumes that
women are socially and economically disadvantaged individuals whose participation may
be counted in attaining disadvantaged business enterprise (DBE) goals. As such,
separate WBE goals will no longer be used and the terms "MBE and WBE" in the current
adopted program shall be understood to mean DBE.

of the aforementioned Act.
3. kBLISH 10% of the contract costs as the minimum annual goal for DBE participation.

Act of 1987" requires the combination of these categories as a single "DBE" (Disadvantaged
Business Enterprise) . Section A.3 of. the Board's policy provides for compliance with
federal/state requirements.

By not complying with the requirements of the "Federal-Aid Highway Act of 198711, the
County could lose federal-aid road project funds.
