Key components of this policy are: 1. To ensure nondiscrimination in the award and administration of DOT-assisted contracts; 2. To create a level playing field on which DBEs can compete fairly for DOT-assisted contracts; 3. To ensure that the DBE program is narrowly tailored in accordance with applicable law; 4. To ensure that only firms that fully meet 49 CFR Part 26 eligibility standards are permitted to participate as DBEs; 5. To help remove barriers to the participation of DBEs in DOT-assisted contracts; 6. To promote the use of DBEs in all types of federally-assisted contracts and procurement activities conducted by recipients; 7. To assist in the development of firms that can compete successfully in the marketplace outside the DBE program; 8. To provide appropriate flexibility to recipients of Federal financial assistance in establishing and providing opportunities for DBEs. The airport manager, Jay Scherer, is named as DBE Liaison Officer for the McCall Municipal Airport. This policy also sets the DBE contract goal at 2.40% which, if met, will provide $29,900.00 to DBEs based on estimated contract value of $1,673,182.00. The DBE Policy is attached.  RECOMMENDED ACTION: Council approve the McCall Municipal Airport Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
