Fiscal Year 2008 Goal Report
SUBPART C - GOALS, GOOD FAITH EFFORTS AND
COUNTING
Section 26.43
Set-asides or Quotas
St. Lucie County International Airport does not use quotas in any way in the
administration of the DBE program.
I. Amount of Goal
The Airport herewith proposes a DBE-participation goal of 1.72% for FY 2008. It is the
intent of the Airport to attain this goal through a Race-Neutral Program.
. Race and Gender-Neutral measures or programs which are used to assist all small
businesses.
. Race and Gender-Conscious programs or measures are specifically focused on
assisting only DBE firms, including women-owned DBE firms.
Given the amount of DOT -assisted contracts, approximately $4,292,896.00 that the
Airport anticipates to let during this fiscal year based upon the approved Airport Capital
Improvement Program (ACIP), the Airport has set a goal of expending a minimum of
$73,730.29 ( 1.72% x $4,292,896.00) based upon FY 2008 projects that are to be fully or
partially funded with federal funds.
The Airport further estimates that, in meeting the overall goal of 1.72%, the Airport will
obtain 0% from race and gender-neutral participation and 1.72% through race and
gender-conscious participation based upon past participation on similar projects (see
Section IV, Race Conscious and Race Neutral Breakout Participation). Thus, based upon
the goal of $73,730.29, the Airport expects to expend approximately $0.00 in race-neutral
participation and $73,730.29 in race-conscious participation.
II. Methodology
1. Current Fiscal Year Projects:
Federally funded projects anticipated to occur in Fiscal Year 2008, as shown in Table 1,
is based upon the FAA and FDOT approved Airport Capital Improvement Projects
(ACIP) for St. Lucie County International Airport.

2. Normal Market Area:
. Definition: A Normal Market Area is defined as an area or combination of areas
where at least 70/75 percent of all historic contract dollars for similar projects as
well as DBE and non-DBE contractors/subcontractors are located.
. Professional Services: Based upon historic data as well as the specialty
requirements for aviation related design services, the entire state was designated
as the market area for Professional Services. Professional services are typically
composed of:
· Architectural (NAICS 54131)
· Civil Engineering (NAICS 54133)
· Electrical Engineering (NAICS 54199)
· Geotechnical Engineering (NArCS 54136)
· CADD Services (NAICS 5415)
· Land SurveylMapping (NArCS 54137), and
· Testing Laboratories (NArCS 54138)
. Construction Services: The Airport's market area for construction services was
based upon historic activity related to similar projects. The market area for
construction services at St. Lucie County Intemational Airport was determined
from airport projects' bid tab information. Thus, based upon similar historic
projects, 70/75% of contracting dollars went to Martin and St. Lucie Counties as
shown in Table 2, Determination of Market Area. Palm Beach County was added
due to the limited number ofDBE contractors within the immediate market area.

St. Lucie County International Airport
Disadvantaged Business Enterprise
Fiscal Year 2008 Goal Report
3. Percentage Breakout by NAICS Codes:
The percentage breakout of NAICS codes are used to provide an evaluation of available
contractors and subcontractors in the respective work areas to assist in development of
the anticipated FY 2008 DBE goal for St. Lucie County International Airport.
Information on ready, willing and available DBE and Non-DBE contractors related to the
type of services required was obtained from the u.s. Census Bureau, State of Florida
Department of Transportation Office of Equal Opportunity Directory, and historic
contractor information provided in the Airport's bidders' list documentation. Only
disadvantaged business enterprises certified by member agencies in the Florida Unified
Certification Program designated as UCP-DBE are considered as ready, willing and
available to perfonn work at the Airport according to FDOT and USDOT.
The data for total firms available (denominator) and the DBE firms available (numerator)
were extracted based upon the Airport's "market" area based upon the type of NAICS
activity expected for FY 2008 projects as shown in Table 3.

St. Lucie County International Airport
Disadvantaged Business Enterprise
Fiscal Year 2008 Goal Report
Step 1: Determine Base Figure for Relative Availability of DBEs (26.45(c))
a. Weiahted Based Fiaure Calculation
In order to provide a more accurate measurement of anticipated DBE participation, the
base goal was established using a weighted project methodology. This methodology
breaks down the anticipated contractor participation based upon a percentage of the total
fee as shown in Table 5. This percentage is then applied to the willing and available
contractors identified in Table 4 to provide a logical estimate of contractor participation
on anticipated DOT funded projects.
The base figure is calculated as follows:
Base Figure = ((% of contract dollar amount x (#DBEs in 1st NAICs)/#AlI Firms in
1st NAICS» + ((% of contract dollar amount * (#DBEs in 2nd NAICs)/#AlI Firms in
2nd NAICS» + etc.) x 100%
Thus, based upon the projects outlined in Table 1, the following weighted base goal was
detennined.
(62.74% * Highway, Street & Bridge Construction) + (30.28% * Utilities) + (1.65% *
Specialized Freight) + (1.65% * Civil Engineering) + (3.68% * Fencing Contractors)
DBE Goal = (62.74%*(0/57» + (30.28%* (0/83» + (1.65%*(3/92)) + (1.65% *
(23/3937» + (3.68%*(2/342)
DBE Goal = (0%) + (0%) + (.054%) + (0.0096%) + (0.0215%)
DBE Goal =0.0850%
Step 2: Adjust Base Figure (26.45(d))
After calculating a base figure for the relative availability of DBEs within the established
market area, evidence was examined to determine what adjustment, if any, was needed to
adjust the base figure to arrive an the overall goal. In order to reflect as accurately as
possible DBE participation in the absence of discrimination, the weighted based figure
was adjusted using St. Lucie County past DBE participation on similar projects.
a. The base fiaure was adiusted because of the followina:
Adjustment to the base figure is required as a result of the limited number of certified
minority owned businesses within the established market area. Therefore, a combination
of historical and base figure results was used to determine probable DBE requirements in
the absence of discrimination for St. Lucie County International Airport.

Information concerning barriers to entry or the competitiveness of DBEs in our program
is from the following sources:
· FDOT DBE Directory and U.S. Census Bureau - County Business Pattern Data
· DBE and non-DBE contractor information from local bidders lists, and
· Historic DBE and non-DBE participation on similar federally funded projects.
1. Determination of Median Historic Goal:
The Airport's history ofDBE participation was 3.35%, based upon the median
DBE goal participation for the years 2006 and 2007 as shown in Table 5.

2. Final Adjustment of Base DBE Goal for FY 2008:
According to current information obtained from the FDOT DBE Directory, dated
June 2007, and U.S. Census Data, the total number of available DBE and total
contractors within the established market area is 28 and 4,511, respectively. This
resulted in a weighted DBE goal of 0.0850%.
Thus, based upon the historic adjustment for like projects as shown in Table 6,
the final DBE goal for fiscal year 2008 consists of the average of the weighted
DBE Goal for FY 2008 federally funded projects and the historic median DBE
participation. As a result, the adjusted FY 2008 DBE Goal is 1.72%
Historically, DBE participation, based upon median years 2006 and 2007, was
approximately 3.35%. Thus, applying the median historic DBE participation to
51. Lucie County

Draft
St. Lucie County International Airport
Disadvantaged Business Enterprise
Fiscal Year 2008 Goal Report
the calculated weighted average participation of 0.0850% for FY 2008 resulted in
an adjusted DBE Goal of 1.72%.
Adjusted DBE Goal = (Weighted DBE Base + Median Actual Participation)/2
Adjusted DBE Goal = (0.0850% + 3.35%)/2
Adjusted DBE Goal = 1.72%
This typically applies a more realistic value of DBE participation as it relates to
the type of project and local market area.
We chose not to use disparity studies or other area information because of
the following:
The last disparity study completed for the State of Florida was dated 1997.
Therefore, use of the disparity study to adjust the St. Lucie International Airport
DBE Goal would not provide an accurate forecast ofDBE participation.
However, contractors on past and current contracts at the Airport strive to use
DBE contractors on available subcontracting opportunities. As a result, since
prime contractors have historically used DBE subcontractors on similar projects,
it is anticipated that adjusting the DBE weighted base goal by historic DBE
participation provides an accurate goal assessment for anticipated FY 2008
projects.
3. DBE Participation expressed as percentage offunding:
Based upon the Airport's approved capital improvement program, Federal AlP
funding for each project is as follows:

St. Lucie County International Airport
Disadvantaged Business Enterprise
Fiscal Year 2008 Goal Report
III. Process
In accordance with Section 26.45(1), St. Lucie Intemational Airport will submit its
overall goal to FAA on August 1 of each year. However, before establishing the overall
goal, the Airport will consult with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), Bid
Listing publications, contractors' organizations and other agencies to obtain information
concerning the availability of disadvantaged and non-disadvantaged businesses, the
effects of discrimination on opportunities to DBEs, and the Airport's efforts to establish a
level playing field for the participation ofDBEs.
St. Lucie County International Airport has also constructed an outreach program designed
to improve DBE participation on future projects to the extent feasible. To ensure that the
Airport will achieve or exceed its anticipated DBE/MBE/WBE participation goals, it has
taken the following initiatives:
1. Refer Bidders to the State Unified Certification ProgramlDirectory to obtain
DBE/MBE and WBE firm listings.
2. Conduct pre-project conferences that can be attended by representatives of
various State and community organizations associated with minority business
enterprises, along with representatives from minority business development
centers, minority contractors, non-minority contractors and labor organizations.
The purpose of these conferences will be to familiarize all interested parties with
the project, its DBE/MBE and WBE objectives, schedule, wage requirements and
types of work to be performed. These conferences will also afford DBE and non-
DBE contractors to identify teaming opportunities.
3. Direct minority/women contractors who may not be able to qualify or do not
desire to bid a particular package in its entirety to provide their names to all other
prospective bidders for that package as a minority contractor who has expressed
an interest in bidding a portion of the work.
4. Encourage alliances between prime contractors and small minority/female
contractors who do not yet have the capacity for a large prime contract.
5. Provide resources for minority firms to review plans and specifications and obtain
additional information about bid packages.
6. Encourage brokers/surety firms to assist development of DBE/MBE and WBE
contractors of all levels to obtain bonding status.
7. Assist local banks that have made commitments to work with DBE/MBE and
WBE firms and their financing needs.
8. Regularly monitor contractors to see that they are meeting contractual obligations
to minority and female finns.
Part of the success of our minority and women business participation will depend upon
participation with contractors surrounding the airport and the County's involvement withtthe State Unified Certification Program.

Fiscal Year 2008 Goal Report
As part of the outreach program, an e-mail was sent in June 2007 to obtain information
concerning the availability of disadvantaged and non-disadvantaged businesses, the
effects of discrimination on opportunities for DBEs and both the County's and Airport's
efforts to establish a level playing field for the participation ofDBEs. Below is a copy of the e-
mail.
E-Mail Messa!!e:
St. Lucie County International Airport is in the process of establishing
a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Goalfor Fiscal Year 2008. The
administrative portion of the program in addition to the goal and its
methodology were developed per the provisions set forth in 49 CFR
Part 26. The proposed DBE Goal for FY 2008 based upon anticipated
projects is I.72%. This year, the Commission is planning to provide
bid opportunities to DBE and Non-DBE contractors related to civil
engineering, paving, utilities, hauling/trucking, and fencing. In
researching the Florida Department of Transportation Disadvantaged
Business Enterprise Directory, June 2007, ready, willing and able
DBEs located within the Airport's contracting area that are qualified
to bid on the proposed contracts as either a prime or sub contractor
were identified. The contracting area represents approximately 70
percent of where historic bid applications and contracts were
awarded. In addition, the Florida Department of Transportation has
determined that approximately 3.4% for transit projects under the
Transportation Efficiency Act - 21 for Fiscal Year 2007-2008.
As the anticipated goal for St. Lucie County International Airport is
slightly lower than that set by the FDOT for statewide transit projects,
do you or members of your organization have documentation of any
existing social or economic barriers which may be currently
preventing minorities and/or women from offering construction related
services at the airport? In addition, do you know of any other
impediments which have or may impact minorities and/or women from
effectively competing on transportation related projects?
We would appreciate your replying with any information you could
offer. Please if you have any comments or questions, do not hesitate to
contact Tricia Fantinato at (813) 889-3892 or
TFantinato@LPAGroup.com within two weeks of receipt of this e-
mail. If any viable information becomes available, it is to be included
in the Airport's DBE program and FY 08 Goal Determination and
submitted to the Federal Aviation Administration as required by
federal regulations (49 CFR Part 26).
Additional consultation shall also be made during any pre-bid/pre-proposal meetings the
Airport conducts throughout the year which are opened to interested parties.

Following this consultation, the Airport will publish a notice of proposed overall goal,
information the public that the proposed goal and its rationale are available for inspection
during normal business hours at the Airport, and DOT will accept comments on the goal
for 45 days from the date of notice. The Airport will notify the public of the comment
period through newspapers and other publications. The Airport also uses the internet for
public notification. Normally, the Airport will issue this notice by June I of each year
through the Fort Pierce Tribune, Port St. Lucie News and Florida Courier (Minority
Publication). The notice will include addresses where comments may be sent and
addresses, including offices and websites, where the proposal may be reviewed.
A 1.72 percent disadvantaged business enterprise (DBE) overall utilization goal for
federally funded airport improvement projects at St. Lucie County Intemational Airport
has been established for the 2008 Fiscal Year based upon the requirements of 49 CFR
Part 26. The methodology used to derive the goal may be reviewed for thirty (30) days
following the date of this notice at the Airport offices located at:
3000 Curtis King Boulevard
Fort Pierce, FL 34946.
Comments concerning the overall goal will be accepted for an additional fifteen (15) days
following the completion of the 30 day notice period at the address provided.
All firms, both DBE and non-DBE, are invited to contact St. Lucie County for
infonnation regarding bidding opportunities on federally funded airport improvement
projects. St. Lucie County Intemational Airport's overall goal submission to FAA and
DOT will include a summary of information and comments received during this public

IV. Race Neutral and Race Conscious Breakouts
(Section 26.51)
The St. Lucie County International Airport will attempt to meet the maximum feasible
portion of its overall goal by using race-neutral means of facilitating DBE participation.
As a result, the Airport uses the following race-neutral means to facilitate DBE
participation:
Race-neutral means include, but are not limited to the following (Section 26.5l(b»:
· Arranging solicitations, times for the presentation of bids, quantities,
specifications and delivery schedules in ways that facilitate DBE and other small
business participation;
· Provide assistance in overcoming limitations such as inability to obtain bonding
or financing;
· Providing technical assistance and other services;
· Carrying out information and communication programs on contracting procedures
and specific contract opportunities;
· Implementing a supportive services program to develop and improve immediate
and long-term business management, record keeping and financial and accounting
responsibility;
· Providing services to help DBEs and other small businesses improve long-term
development, increase opportunities to participation in a variety of work, handle
increasingly significant projects and achieve self-sufficiency;
· Ensure distribution of the Airport's DBE directory through print and electronic
means to the widest feasible audience of potential prime contractors.
The estimated breakout of race neutral and race conscious participation will be adjusted
as needed to reflect actual DBE participation (Section 26.5 1 (f)) and race neutral and race
conscious participations will be tracked separately.
For reporting purposes, race-neutral DBE participation includes, but is not limited to, the
following:
· DBE participation through a prime contract a DBE obtains through customary
competitive procurement procedures;
· DBE participation through a subcontract on a prime contract that does not carry a
DBE goal; DBE participation on a prime contract exceeding a contract goal; and
· DBE participation through a subcontract from a prime contractor that did not
consider a firm's DBE status in making the award.
The amount by which St. Lucie County Intemational Airport exceeded its goals on
historically similar projects is useful in determining the likely race/gender neutral
participation in the future. However, since there is insufficient actual historic data to
accurately support race neutral participation, the Airport estimates that in meeting the
Sf. Lucie County
Ft. Pierce, Florida
21
Draft
51. Lucie County International Airport
Disadvantaged Business Enterprise
Fiscal Year 2008 Goal Report
overall goal of 1.72% that 0% will be fìom race-neutral participation and 1.72% through
race-conscIOus measures.
The Airport will, however, adjust the estimated breakout of race-neutral and race-
conscious participation as needed to reflect actual DBE participation as outlined in
Section 26.5 I (f), and will continue to track and report race-neutral and race-conscious
participation separately.
v. Contract Goals (Section 26.51)
The Airport will use contract goal to meet any portion of the overall goal that the Airport
does not project being able to meet using race-neutral means. Race-neutral means
utilized by the Airport to meet the maximum feasible portion of the overall goal include,
but are not limited to the following:
. Advertising potential contracts in local newspapers including the Florida Courier,
a local periodical geared to DBE and other small businesses to provide
information on work opportunities at the Airport, and
· Providing pre-bid meetings to facilitate the dispersement of information to both
DBE and non-DBE participants.
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 race-neutral means. Subsequent contracts will be
monitored and adjusted accordingly should the goal be met or exceeded.
The Airport will establish contract goals only on those DOT -assisted contracts that have
subcontracting opportunities. The Airport does not need to establish a contract goal on
every such contract, and the size of the contract goals will be adapted to the
circumstances of each such contract (e.g. type and location of work, availability of DBEs
to perform the type of work, etc.)
The Airport will express their contract goals as a percentage of the Federal Share of U.S.
DOT-assisted contract, 1.72%, or as the Federal Share of a DOT-assisted contract,
$73,730.29.
