Administration (FAA) for financial assistance to extend and rehabilitate runway
and apron facilities at the Leesburg Municipal Airport; and
WHEREAS, the Town wishes to comply with Federal regulations regarding
increased participation by minority and women business enterprises in federally

THEREFORE, RESOLVED by the Council of the Town of Leesburg in Virginia as
follows:
SECTION I. The following is the Minority and Women Business Enterprise plan
for Leesburg Municipal Airport:
LEESBURG MUNICIPAL AIRPORT
MINORITY AND WOMEN BUSINESS ENTERPRISE PLAN
1. Policy Statement
It is the policy of this organization to utilize Minority and Women
Business Enterprises in all aspects of contracting. This commitment can be
demonstrated by the efforts taken in the development of this plan and in our
local contracting procedures which have been developed, as well as in our
existing working relationship with the Virginia State Office of Minority
Business Enterprises. The Town of Leesburg takes the MBE/WBE responsibility
seriously and will endeavor to comply with all aspects of this plan.
2. Liaison Officers
The following person has been assigned the responsibility to develop,
manage and implement the Minority and Women Business Enterprise program:
Linda DeFranco, Administrative Assistant for Personnel (703) 777-2420
3. Minority Business Enterprise Directory
An up-to-date MBE/WBE directory is available from the Virginia Office of
Minority Business Enterprises and the Omega Group. Ail bidders and proposers
will be referred to these organizations for MBE/WBE listings upon request.
Certification of these MBE/WBEs will be done on a case-by-case basis.

4. Determination of Eligibility
A written certification from the MBE/WBE itself will be required stating
that it is a legitimate minority or women business or joint venture.
5. Minorit~ and Women Enterprise Goals
A percentage of dollar goals on each airport improvement program project
will be established. These goals will apply for both prime and subcontrac-
tors at the airport. For the pending Federal project, that percentage
follows:
Minority Female
10% 2%
The percentage of dollar goals above are a result of an analysis of the
number of MBEs available and the contracting potential identified. Since
our proposed AIP project involves rather specialized pavement construction,
the goals for minority and female participation may be ambitious. However,
we will request the assistance of the following organizations in endeavoring
to meet our goals, in addition to our normal procedures detailed in Item 6:
State Office of Minority Business Enterprises
Virginia State University

Petersburg, VA 23803
Omega Group
Curtis M. McMeekin, Project Director
Suite 320
555 4th Street, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20001
The following goals have been established for lease opportunities on the
airport:
Minority Female
5% 5%
6. Procedures to Ensure an Opportunity to MBE/WBE
The following procedures will be utilized in our efforts to obtain
Minority and Women Business Enterprise participation:
o Invitations to MBE/WBEs to attend prebid meetings.
o Advertise 20-days before bids or proposals are requested.
o Provide written notice to MBE/WBEs that their interest is solicited.
o Maintain a list of MBE/WBEs to be contacted.
o Provide MBE/WBEs with information on plans and specifications.
