For Meeting of: October 18, 2016 ITEM TITLE: Resolution setting Yakima Transit's Disadvantaged Business Enterprise program goals SUBMITTED BY: Scott Schafer, Public Works Director - 576 -6411 Alvie Maxey, Transit Manager - 576 -6415 SUMMARY EXPLANATION: The United States Department of Transportation's objectives for the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program (49 CFR Part 26) is to ensure there is no discrimination in the award and administration of DOT - assisted contracts, create a level playing field, remove barriers to participation in DOT contracts, and promote the use of DBEs in federally- assisted contracts & procurement activities. The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) requires Yakima Transit to have a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program, because Yakima Transit spends more than $250,000 on planning, capital, or operating activities. Because Yakima Transit crosses the federal spending threshold, Yakima Transit is required to set a DBE goal every three years and provide outreach to women and minority owned businesses meeting the minimum qualifications (must be a small business owned by a woman or minority, owner must have a personal net worth of less than $1.32M). The program requires an in depth accounting of the individual's assets and income, to ensure that the individual is in fact economically disadvantaged. The DBE goal is based on Yakima Transit's anticipated federal contracting opportunities with available DBEs. Following public outreach efforts, Yakima Transit still does not have any anticipated contracting opportunities during the three -year period with registered DBEs; as a result, Yakima Transit's DBE goal is still zero. Furthermore, Yakima Transit cannot contract with DBE contractors, unless they are the most qualified bidder. Enclosed is a City memo from the City Purchasing Manager to the FTA Regional Civil Rights Officer for Region 10 outlining Yakima Transit's DBE Program Outreach and Goal Setting. There are six registered disadvantaged business enterprise (DBE) organizations in the Yakima Region. Yakima Transit's planning projects will not be able to utilize any of the DBEs over the next three years, because we do not have any projects specific to the services they offer. As a result, Yakima Transit's DBE goal remains at zero. ITEM BUDGETED: NA STRATEGIC PRIORITY: Public Trust and Accountability STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the resolution BOARD/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: ATTACHMENTS: Description Upload Date Type D DBE Resolution 2016 10/3/2016 Resolution D Memo DBE Program Outreach & Goal Setting 10/3/2016 Co■er Memo Resolution No. R -2016- A RESOLUTION setting Yakima Transit's Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program goal. WHEREAS, in 1983, Congress enacted the Department of Transportation's (DOT) requirement for a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program. The objectives of the program are to ensure nondiscrimination in the award and the administration of DOT - assisted contracts in the Department's financial assistance programs; create a level playing field on which DBEs can compete fairly for DOT - assisted contracts; ensure that the Department's DBE program is narrowly tailored in accordance with applicable law; ensure that only firms that fully meet this part's eligibility standards are permitted to participate as DBEs; help remove barriers to the participation of DBEs in DOT - assisted contracts; assist the development of firms that can compete successfully in the marketplace outside the DBE program; and, provide appropriate flexibility to recipients of Federal financial assistance in establishing and providing opportunities for DBEs; WHEREAS, the City of Yakima operates a public transit system for use by the general public regulated by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), an agency of the DOT, and is subject to FTA requirements including requirements to maintain an up -to -date DBE Program with goals that are adjusted every three years; WHEREAS, on January 28, 2011, the Federal Transit Administration amended their Disadvantaged Business Enterprise regulations, which specifically requires goal updates every three years; and, WHEREAS, Yakima Transit has reviewed available DBE vendors and has updated their goal as required under 49 CFR Part 26. Following a public notice, Yakima Transit's DBE goal is still zero. Of the anticipated Yakima Transit projects or services that would be funded with Federal Transit Administration funds, there are no registered DBE's in the Office of Minority & Women's Business Enterprises state directory for those classifications. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVE BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF YAKI MA: The City of Yakima DBE Program Goal for Yakima Transit, attached and incorporated hereto, is hereby approved and adopted for implementation by the City of Yakima Transit Division, as of the date of this resolution's enactment by the City of Yakima City Council. ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL at a regular meeting this 18th day of October, 2016. Kathy Coffey, Mayor ATTEST: Sonya Claar Tee, City Clerk " ` h City of Yakima, Transit Division 0 ' Yakima Transit 575 -6175 Dial -A -Ride 575 -6054 li Transit Administration.. 575 -6005 Yakima Transit Date: October 3, 2016 From: Sue Ownby, CPPO, DBELO & City Purchasing Manager To: Chris MacNeith, EEO Program Coordinator, FTA Region "" Subject: DBE Program Outreach & Goal Setting DBE Goal Setting The City of Yakima uses OMWBE.WA.GOV to search for certified DBEs. As of July 12, 2016, there were six vendors listed in Yakima County that are federally certified DBEs, none of which fall into a category in which we contract for services. Of the six, there are no viable contractors containing am NAICS code that Yakima Transit has used since 2015 or will use during the 2015 -2018 DBE Goal timeframe. There are eleven vendors that have a State OWMBE certification, but have not registered as a federal DBE vendor. Two of those eleven vendors provide security, communications, or camera related services; Yakima Transit doesn't usually do a contract for that service. The purchases are under the bidding threshold. One vendor provides janitorial services; Yakima Transit no longer contract for that service. Yakima Transit has never been found to have discriminated against a protected class in the past, as a result, quotas are not set to redress an egregious instance of discrimination. Yakima Transit's DBE goal is race neutral. Without DBE- certified contractors, there isn't a way for Yakima Transit to meet a goal above zero. Outreach Efforts The bulleted list below shows some of Yakima Transit's outreach efforts. I'm sure there are a few other pro- active things we've done, but this is what immediately comes to mind. • Every bid advertised for Transit contains the following language: The City of Yakima has established a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program in accordance with regulations of the Department of Transportation (DOT) 49 CFR Part 26. It is the policy of the City to ensure that DBE's, as defined in 49 CFR Part 26, have an equal opportunity to receive and participate in DOT - assisted contracts. The City's current goal proposes that 0% of all DOT funds expended in DOT - assisted contracts will be let to certified DBE firms that are available, willing, and able. The City of Yakima hereby notifies all proposers that it will affirmatively ensure that in any contract entered into pursuant to this advertisement, disadvantaged business enterprises will be afforded full opportunity to submit proposals in response to this invitation and will not be discriminated against on the grounds of race, color, sex, sexual orientation, or national origin in consideration for an award. • ALL "notice for bid" advertisements are sent to the Yakima Hispanic Chamber of Commerce at the same time they are sent to the Yakima Herald Republic. • Yakima Transit advertised their DBE goals in El Sol, as well as the local paper. (per the attachment, legal Ad — Transit DBE) • The DBELO maintains a relationship with the Yakima Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, specifically Luz Bazan - Guiterriez, offering to put on a workshop on how to do business with the city. I have bumped into her a couple of times since then and mentioned it, but nothing ever materializes. • Purchasing keeps a supply of OMWBE literature available in the kiosk at our front desk for vendors to pick up. This has information on how to register to become a DBE /WMBE. • We direct anyone who inquires to www.omwbe.wa.gov to get certified. • We had our "Selling to the City" pamphlet Transcribed into Spanish. (attached) • On February 19, 2014, Karen Allen (Transit Program Coordinator) and myself presented a session on "Meet the Buyer — Doing Business with Local Transit Systems" at the Tri- Cities Business & Visitor Center (see attached flyer). The City of Yakima has provided outreach to minority and women owned businesses and will continue to do so. Following those outreach efforts there has been little to no interest in vendors registering as a DBE. Some of the concerns that we believe vendors face is the federal net worth threshold and that the federal government will be asking for financial documentation to prove that they are under the threshold. According to the American Community Survey in Yakima County, the Hispanic population accounts for 45.8% of the total population, 13.24% of the total population are not US citizens. The survey doesn't breakdown if those individuals are legally here of whether or not they are of Hispanic dissent. Part of the concern that individuals might have, in reaching this large demographic, is their citizenship status. Public Participation Process Yakima Transit's public participation process in setting the DBE goals includes a preliminary search of the DBEs that are certified to provide service. We compare the types of services with the services that we've contracted for in the past, currently contract for, and anticipate contracting for. Once we are able to determine what the goal is, we provide a 45 -day notice to the public to solicit comments. If comments are received, we take the comments into careful consideration and if valid, revise our initial determination before finalizing our goal. If it is determined that the goal needs to change as a result of the comments, changes are made and a notice will be posted on the City of Yakima Purchasing website identifying those changes. If the changes are substantial, we will restart the goal setting process. A substantial change in the goal is when the goal is modified by more than 5 %. For example, if the goal was 8% and following comments the goal was changed to 2% or 16 %, a new notice and comment period would commence.

The Workshop was cancelled, because there was only 1 registrant (scan of similar event attached) • The State of Washington Department of Enterprise Services (DES) scheduled a Central Washington Business Partnership Forum (first time ever in central WA) on May 13, 2015 I was scheduled to be a speaker on the Governmental Purchasing Panel The Forum was cancelled on May 7, 2015 due to lack of registrants.

In November 2015, OMWBE increased Yakima's Subdivision fee from $300 to $6,013 — more than a 2,000% increase. I contacted Tammi Hazlitt at OMWBE about the increase and she explained WAC 326- 02 -034 allows for this increase I requested OMWBE do some outreach efforts to the vendors in Central Washington, as there were only a handful of certified vendors in all of Yakima County. The City of Yakima has provided outreach to minority and women owned businesses and will continue to do so Following those outreach efforts there has been little to no interest in vendors registering as a DBE.

Once we are able to determine what the goal is, we provided a 45 -day notice to the public to solicit comments (ad was placed in Yakima Herald Republic, El Sol and on Purchasing's webpage) Summary of Comments Received and Associated Changes The 45 day period ended September 7, 2016 and no comments were received Certified DBEs July 12, 2016 •earth Results C I Lovell In C I Lovell Inc '0iBE DBE /SBE Cathleen I Lovell 5098482850 CICRUSHING @GMAIL.COM Scout Lake Scout Lake Construction Inc' Construction Inc MBE DBE/SBE Rodney Chumley 5096974425 KristineC @ scout -lake.com KOLLMAR INCORPORATED KOLLMAR GIBE DBE /SBE SHARON KOLLMAR 5098823148 AKOLLMAR @BENTONREA.COM INCORPORATED Gilbert Patterson Concrete Inc.
