Step 2 – Adjustment to Step One Base Figure1. Consideration of Previous Years’ Performance49 CFR Section 26.45(d) and the Tips for Goal Setting set forth examples of data that must beanalyzed and taken into consideration in determining whether adjustments to the Step 1 Basefigure are necessary. The purpose of 49 CFR Section 26.45(d)is to ensure that the final overallgoal is both narrowly tailored and effective in helping to remedy discrimination. This adjustmentprocess begins by reviewing DDOT’s historical contracting data.In order to determine whether past performance should be used to make an adjustment to Step1 base figure in Step 2, DDOT has collected historical contracting data over a three-year period. .We then calculated DDOT’s “median” past participation. DBE participation for the past three (3)years is shown in Table 7 below. The median percentage is determined by the middle percentagefor the past three (3) years.Table 7Median for Three YearContract Period (FY 2018–2020)ContractPeriodContracting Volume% DBEFY 2018 90,909,92913.64%FY 2019 54,736,64123.76%FY 2020 35,300,53637.03%To determine the median percentage of the past three (3) years, we must arrange the goalattainment from lowest to highest (13.64%, 23.76%, and 37.08%). In this case, the middle valueis 23.76%.The median participation for the past three (3) years used in the calculation is 23.76%.2. Adjusting the Step 1 Base Figure with the Median Past PerformanceThe USDOT OSDBU “Tips for Goal Setting in the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program”states: “If your records suggest levels of past participation very similar to the number youcalculated in Step 1, then it is not necessary to make any adjustment for past participation.” DDOTdetermined that the goal with the Step 2 adjustment better reflects the capacity in DDOT’sgeographic market. The calculation for the adjustment is as follows: identify the median pastperformance, which according to Table 7 above is 23.76%. The median figure is then added to theweighted base figure and divided by two to determine the adjusted Step Two goal, as outlinedbelow:Median Past Participation23.76%Weighted Step One Base Figure 19.93%43.69/2 21.84%Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Goal Methodology11FHWA FY2022-2024JULY 2021

Based upon the calculations above, the overall adjusted three-year goal for FY 2022-2024 is21.84%.49 CFR Section 26.45.5(d)(1) states that “there are many types of evidence that must beconsidered when adjusting the base figure.” In addition, 49 CFR Section 26.45.5(d)(2) states that“If available, you must consider evidence from related fields that affect the opportunities for DBEsto form, grow and compete. In this instance, DDOT determined that our goals would be moreaccurate if DDOT did not make adjustments for the factors below. In most cases, the datareferenced in the rule was not available. DDOT found that the factors below did not have animpact on adjusting the base figure. DDOT reviewed the following factors:i.“Evidence from disparity studies conducted anywhere within your jurisdiction, to the extentit is not already accounted for in your base figure.”The OSDBU’s Tips for Goal Setting in the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program’swebsite suggests that data should be collected and analyzed to consider the currentmarket dynamics to determine whether an adjustment to the goal is necessary. Onesuggested method is to analyze the results of a disparity study. DDOT has not yetconducted a disparity study, but the District may consider conducting a disparity studywithin the near future.ii.“Statistical disparities in the ability of DBEs to get the financing, bonding, and insurancerequired to participate in your program”DDOT has not performed a disparity study to determine the extent of the difficulty of DBEfirms to obtain bonding and insurance to participate in the DBE program.iii.Data on employment, self-employment, education, training and union apprenticeshipprograms” as it relates to the opportunities for DBEs to perform in DDOT’s DOT-assistedcontracts.DDOT reviewed, the employment data and found the data does not provide the agencywith a reliable way to adjust the goals.iv.Adjustments to the Goal for the Continuing Effects of Past DiscriminationAt this time, DDOT does not have data that would permit a reliable adjustment to the goalbased on the continuing effects of past discrimination.3.0Race/Gender-Neutral and Race/Gender-Conscious MeasuresDDOT will continue its efforts to meet the maximum feasible portion of its overall goal usingRace/Gender-Neutral (R/G-N) means. Historical contracting data for the period FY 2018-2020supports DDOT’s ability to achieve 21.84% with a race/gender/conscious goal of 20.27% and arace neutral goal of 1.57% DBE participation.Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Goal Methodology12FHWA FY2022-2024JULY 2021

The calculation isas follows: identify the median past performance, (8.55%), 1.57%, 14.84%). The median number isdetermined by the middle number, which according to Table 8 above is 1.57%.The data collected is then used to perform the following calculations:Median Past Participation (MPP) in excess of the goal: 1.57%Overall DBE Goal: 21.84%Race Neutral Goal: 1.57%Race Conscious Goal: 20.27%DDOT’s recent increase in race neutral achievements were the result of DDOT developing strategies andopportunities to increase participation of DBE Prime firms in federally funded projects with the Office ofContracting and Procurement and leadership in the Project Delivery Administration. In addition, DDOTcollaborated with DLSBD to conduct DBE Certification training for locally certified firms. Table 9 illustratesthat recent increase in race neutral participation.Table 9DBE Prime Contractor Awards for FY 2018-2020(Race-Neutral)Fiscal YearFY 2018FY 2019FY 2020Total Awards 90,909,929 54,738,641 35,300,536DBE Prime Contract Awards(Race Neutral) 0 0 4,440,534% Of TotalAwards0%012.57%DDOT has increased opportunities for DBE firms to serve as Primes on its projects. In October 2019, DDOTheld an Industry Day for the upcoming H Street Bridge Project with leadership teams from the Office ofContracting and Procurement, IPMD, and Civil Rights. The event facilitated new relationships betweenDDOT and members of the Contracting and Design Community, which included new DBE firms.While DDOT is working to increase DBE participation, there are still key concerns with the District ofColumbia’s changes to its risk management requirements for all vendors. These changes include carryingDisadvantaged Business Enterprise Goal Methodology13FHWA FY2022-2024JULY 2021

costly insurance to cover data breaches and enhancing the firm’s accounting systems to mitigate the riskto the Agency. We believe these requirements may be barriers for DBE firms seeking Prime opportunitieswith DDOT. Unfortunately, the requirements are unable to be revised at this time, however, our DBEteam will engage in further discussions with the Office of Risk Management to share the impedimentspresented to the firms that fall under the DBE and SBE programs and explore ways to eliminate thesebarriers.To this end, DDOT will maintain its ability to use Race/Gender-Conscious (R/G-C) measures, because it isour belief that when properly applied through a “narrowly tailored” program, R/G-C measures arenecessary to ensure equitable DBE participation and provide meaningful opportunities to DBE firmsseeking to evolve into prime contractors. With the submission of this report, the Agency understands thatit is at a pivotal stage in its DBE Program and is unwavering in its commitment to exceed the goals. Theagency is striving to achieve the highest levels of DBE p
