Overall Goals and Methodology Monroe Regional Airport (MLU) Update for FYs 2016 through 2018 OVERALL GOALS (§26.45) Amount of goal The overall goal for Monroe Regional Airport (MLU or the Airport) for Fiscal Years 2016 through 2018 (October 1, 2015 to September 30, 2018) is 6.45% of the Federal financial assistance that it will expend in DOT-assisted contracts with DBE contractors. Number of Projects to be covered by this contract goal: The Airport expects to fund seven (7) DOT-assisted contracts during FYs 2016-2018: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
ADB System Upgrade (Airfield Lighting Controls); Airport Drainage Rehabilitation; LED Airfield Lighting; Mill & Overlay Runway 4-22 Blast Pads; Cargo Facility & Ramp; Exterior Perimeter Roads Upgrade; and T-Hangar Road Upgrade.
The first project, ADB System Upgrade, involves engineering and electrical contractors. The estimated value for this project is $180,000 (Federal portion). The second project, Airport Drainage Rehabilitation, involves engineering, trucking and drainage construction. The estimated value for this project is $1,080,000 (Federal portion). The third project, LED Airfield Lighting, involves engineering, electrical contractors and electrical supply. The estimated value for this project is $2,340,000 (Federal portion). The fourth project, Mill and Overlay Runway 4-22 Blast Pads, involves engineering, trucking and construction of the blast pads. The estimated value for this project is $117,000 (Federal portion). The fifth project, Cargo Facility and Ramp, involves engineering, trucking and construction of the concrete ramp. The estimated value for this project is $675,000 (Federal portion). The sixth project, Exterior Perimeter Roads Upgrade, involves engineering, roadway construction, and local trucking. The estimated value of this project is $1,170,000 (Federal portion).

The seventh project, T-Hangar Road Upgrade, involves engineering, roadway construction, and local trucking. The estimated value of this project is $405,000 (Federal portion). The Airport has set a goal of expending $385,055 with certified DBE firms yielding a participation rate of 6.45%. Market Area: After careful research of the historical bidding practices and responses to requests for professional services, the Airport has determined that its market area is made up of the following Parishes/Counties: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.
East Carroll Parish, Louisiana Franklin Parish, Louisiana Madison Parish, Louisiana Morehouse Parish, Louisiana Ouchita Parish, Louisiana Richland Parish, Louisiana Tensas Parish, Louisiana Union Parish, Louisiana West Carroll Parish, Louisiana
The analysis prepared in determining this included a review of the responses to advertised opportunities for projects awarded by the Airport over the last several years. This period has included the following projects: • • • •
2015 Phase II Construction of Perimeter Road (prime contractor located in Ouachita Parish); 2014 RSA Drainage Improvements (prime contractor located in Ouachita Parish); 2014 Phase I Construction of Perimeter Road (prime contractor located in Ouachita Parish); 2013 Taxiway G Rehabilitation (prime contractor located in Ouachita Parish);
As can be seen by this analysis, all of the respondents were located in the identified market area and a substantial amount of contracting dollars has been expended in the same area. Consequently, the Airport has determined that the appropriate Market Area includes only the nine parishes described previously.

Method: In accordance with the current FAA and DOT guidance, the Airport is utilizing a two-step process in setting its goals for FYs 2016-2018. The first step examines the relative availability of DBE firms in the established Market Area and the second step allows for adjustments to the relative availability based on:
Information from available Disparity Studies; Information gained from research and outreach with: Organizations servicing or representing DBE’s; Federal, State and Local agencies that procure services; Agencies charged with enforcing Civil Rights Law; and State and Local Agencies responsible for minority/women’s affairs. Historical accomplishments of the Airport’s DBE program.
Relative Availability: The following documents the relative availability for the proposed project and will be used in the overall calculation of relative availability for FY 2016-2018 goals. The following is a summary of the method used to calculate this goal: Step 1: The method used to calculate the relative availability of DBEs for Step 1 in this process is 26.45(c) (1) DBE Directories and Census Bureau Data. The base figure was determined by dividing the total DBE firms in the local market area by the total of all firms (both compiled according to the relevant NAICS/SIC project codes). The following table identifies the components of the project broken down by trade with appropriate NAICS codes.

Following the procedures to add weight factors based on the individual project estimates, an additional weight factor is applied based on each project’s percentage of the total amount of anticipated award construction dollars.

Amount of Estimate $180,000 $1,080,000 $2,340,000 $117,000 $675,000 $1,170,000 $405,000 $5,967,000
% of Total / Weight Factor 3.0% 18.1% 39.2% 2.0% 11.3% 19.6% 6.79% 100.0%
The Overall Base Figure is calculated by multiplying each project's (contract) base figure by its weight factor, and adding them together. OVERALL BASE FIGURE = (1.36% x 0.03%) + (11.14% x 0.181%) + (1.10% x 0.392 %) + (11.14% x 0.02%) + (11.14% x 0.113%) + (11.14% x 0.196%) + (11.14% x 0.0679%) = 0.04% + 2.02% + 0.43% + 0.22% + 1.26% + 2.18% + 0.76% = 6.91%
OVERALL BASE FIGURE = 6.91% Step 2: This step is intended to adjust the “base figure” percentage from Step 1 so that it reflects as accurately as possible the DBE participation the recipient would expect in the absence of discrimination. First, the Airport searched out the availability of information from Disparity Studies. This was unable to document the preparation of any disparity studies for the area over the course of the last seven years. To document this fact, the Airport first performed an internet search which yielded two databases of disparity studies – both of which are maintained by the DOT Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization: Disparity Studies Performed Since 1998 and found at http://osdbuweb.dot.gov/disparity/
Disparity Studies Performed Since 1998 and found at http://osdbuweb.dot.gov/disparity/ Partial List of Disparity Studies conducted for State and Local Agencies and found at http://osdbuweb.dot.gov/business/Dbe/disparit3.xls
Finding no available data at either of these sites, the Airport contacted the following entities and was unable to document any other documentation of disparity studies performed for the region:
MLU DBE Program 2016-2018 Goals
Page 11
The North Louisiana Economic Partnership located in Monroe, LA The North Delta Regional Planning & Development District, located in Monroe, LA
Since none of these sources was able to provide the Airport with any available disparity study information and with the lack of any disparity study being performed in the region, the Airport must then look to historical performance and DBE goal accomplishment under previous FAA grants for similar types of construction. The Airport reviewed its historical DBE participation achievement in order to ensure the goal’s reasonableness. By averaging the median historical DBE participation rate with the relative availability calculated in Step 1, an adjusted DBE goal is calculated. The projects anticipated for FYs 2016-2018 include only planning and roadway paving projects. A review of the historic overall DBE goals accomplished at the Airport for similar work in recent years revealed that none of the projects were of the same nature. Three of the projects accomplished in recent years included taxiway, ramp and runway pavement work. Therefore, they have been included in the median accomplishment calculation, as summarized below. MLU Historical DBE Accomplishments for Similar DOT-Assisted Contracts Airfield Paving Projects Fiscal Year FY 2015 FY 2014 FY 2013 FY 2012 FY 2009

6.0%
Median Accomplishments for all Projects
The median percentage of accomplishment for all similar projects over recent years is therefore determined to be 6.0%. When we compare this with the proposed base figure for FY 2016-2018, we determine that our adjusted overall goal is: 6.45%. (Base figure) 6.91% + (Historical median) 6.0% divided by 2 = 6.45% (Adjusted Overall Goal)

Breakout of Estimated Race-Neutral and Race-Conscious Participation The Airport will strive to meet the maximum feasible portion of its overall goal by using race-neutral means of facilitating DBE participation. The Airport uses the following raceneutral means to increase DBE participation: By arranging solicitations, times for the presentations of bids, quantities, specifications, and delivery schedules in ways to facilitate DBE, and other small businesses, participation (e.g. requiring and/or encouraging prime contractors to subcontract portions of work that they might otherwise perform with their own forces). Additionally, the Airport and its engineer provide all potential bidders with information about the State of Louisiana’s Department of Transportation and Development web site for certified DBE contractors found at: http://www.dotd.state.la.us/cgi-bin/construction.asp As exhibited in the Historical Accomplishments Summary, the Airport’s actual DBE accomplishments on DOT-assisted projects have come very close to meeting the annual goals. As such, MLU feels that it is appropriate to continue to use raceconscious means to meet its goals. Public Participation The Airport encourages the participation of DBEs in its Development Program. In an effort to reach the available DBE community, seek out public input into the goal setting process, and to ensure wide distribution of the information contained in this document, the Airport makes copies of its DBE Program and Annual Goals Setting Document available to the local chapter of the Associated General Contractors, local architects and engineers, prospective bidders, and other interested parties. In order to encourage participation by Certified DBE firms, the Airport: 1. Provides prospective bidders with information on the State of Louisiana’s certified list of DBE contractors. 2. Contacts the State of Louisiana to ascertain the availability of DBE contractors in the Market Area and work on ways to encourage participation. To comply with Code of Federal Regulations Title 49, Part 26, Section 26.45(g)(1)(i), the Airport held a teleconference on January 11, 2016, to: •
Reach out to minority, women's and general contractor groups to discuss opportunities for DBEs; • Discuss the process to become a certified-DBE; • Address issues that contractors face with the DBE certification process; • Present the proposed DBE Goal for FYs 2016-2018, and • Discuss proposed construction projects that are planned at each airport during this period.

Contract Goals Historically, MLU has used race-conscious measures in obtaining its overall contract goals on federally assisted contracts. We estimate that, in meeting our overall adjusted goal of 6.45% we will obtain 0% from race-neutral participation and 6.45% from raceconscious measures (e.g. setting contract goals). The estimation of race-neutral participation and race-conscious measures percentages are based on past participation and established goals. The Airport will use contract goals to meet any portion of the overall goal the Airport does not project being able to meet using race-neutral means. Contract goals are established so that, over the period to which the overall goal applies, they will cumulatively result in meeting any portion of the Airport’s overall goal that is not projected to be met through the use of race-neutral means. The Airport will establish contract goals only for those DOT-assisted contracts that have subcontracting possibilities. It is not necessary to establish a contract goal on every contract, and the size of contract goals will be adapted to the circumstances of each contract (e.g., type and location of work, availability of DBEs to perform the particular type of work).

The certification process takes approximately 5-6 weeks. There is no "expiration" date. A firm is certified as long as they meet the eligibility requirements and submit a No Change Affidavit annually. Firms located in New Orleans and surrounding areas may apply to any of the 4 certifying agencies. If located anywhere else in the state they must apply to DOTD. DBE firms are certified in specific North American Industry Classification Codes (NAICS) and DOTD work types. You can narrow your search of the UCP DBE Directory by these specific codes at this link: http://www8.dotd.la.gov/UCP/UCPSearch.aspx. To assist in setting DBE goals, the UCP Directory may be "Exported to Excel".

Monroe Regional Airport (MLU) in Monroe, LA Questions from DBE Teleconference regarding the FY 2016-2018 DBE Goal January 11, 2016 1. It’s difficult to find opportunities to connect with General Contractors for upcoming work at the Airport. How can this be addressed? (question from Ron Calhoun with R.K. Construction) Ron Phillips (MLU Director) answered: Jackie Slack (City of Monroe Contract Administrator) is trying to put together a program to assist DBE contractors to find meaningful opportunities to participate. Brad Kutchins (K&G) added that advertisements put out by the Airport and pre-bid conferences are a good way to keep track of what projects are coming up. 2. What determines the DBE goal percentage breakdown per project? (question from Ron Calhoun with R.K. Construction) Mr. Kutchins explained the processes to determine relative availability and historical medians, and added that the DBE goal percentage is usually applied across the board to all projects, but can be put all on one single project, or multiple projects, at the airports discretion, as long as the overall goal is met. 3. Does LA DOTD require DBEs to supply both labor AND materials? In my experience, most General Contractors in northern Louisiana don’t seem to understand the DBE regulations and believe that DBE goals apply only to labor. (question from Ron Calhoun with R.K. Construction) Mr. Kutchins responded that the DBE requirements apply to both labor and supply of materials.
