DBE OBJECTIVES AND POLICY STATEMENT B-10
THE
METROPOLITAN KNOXVILLE AIRPORT AUTHORITY
DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE PROGRAM
IN COMPLIANCE WITH
49 CFR PART 26
Objectives and Policy Statement (26.1, 26.23)
The Metropolitan Knoxville Airport Authority (the “Authority”) has established a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program in accordance with regulations of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), 49 CFR Part 26, Exhibit A. The Authority has received Federal financial assistance from the Department of Transportation, and anticipates continuing to receive at least $250,000 in assistance. As a condition of receiving this assistance, the Authority has signed an assurance statement that complies with 49 CFR Part 26.
It is the policy of the Authority to ensure that DBEs, as defined in CFR 49 Part 26, have an equal opportunity to receive and participate in DOT- assisted contracts. It is also our policy:
➢ To ensure nondiscrimination in the award and administration of DOT assisted contracts;
➢ To create a level playing field on which DBEs can compete fairly for DOT assisted contracts;
➢ To ensure that the DBE Program is narrowly tailored in accordance with applicable law;
➢ To ensure that only firms that fully meet 49 CFR Part 26 eligibility standards are permitted to participate as DBEs;
➢ To help remove barriers to the participation of DBEs in DOT assisted contracts; and
➢ To assist with the development of firms that can compete for DOT contracts with the aspiration that they can successfully compete in the market place outside the DBE Program.
Alan Jones, the Authority’s Manager of Administration, has been designated as the DBE Liaison Officer. In that capacity, Mr. Jones is responsible for implementing all aspects of the DBE program. Implementation of the DBE program is accorded the same priority as compliance with all other legal obligations agreed upon by the Authority in its financial assistance agreements with the Department of Transportation.
The Authority has disseminated this policy statement to the nine members of the Authority’s Board of Commissioners, and all the components of our organization. The Authority has distributed this statement to DBE and non-DBE business communities that perform work for us on DOT- assisted contracts. A copy of this policy statement is enclosed in all bid and contract documents for federally assisted projects.
