DESCRIPTION OF ISSUE : The DBE Plan presented to you today
(copies of the Plan are available in County Clerk's Office) is an amendment to the plan
presented and approved by the Board in November 1999. This revised DBE Plan is
established in accordance with the requirements of the United States Department of

Administration, Civil Rights Office and has received their review and approval. As a
recipient of funding from DOT, the County has signed an assurance that it will comply
with the provisions of 49 CFR Part 26, "Participation by Disadvantaged Business
Enterprise in DOT Financial Assistance Programs". This plan is a requirement of the
DOT to receive federal funding from the FAA.
This revised DBE Plan has been prepared by Carter & Burgess, Inc. on behalf of the
Aspen/Pitkin County Airport. Now that the plan has received all of the necessary
reviews and approvals it is being submitted to the BOCC for final signature. The
following paragraph provides a summary of the DBE program.
The Department of Transportation (DOT) has had in effect for more than 20 years a
policy of helping small businesses owned and controlled by socially and economically
disadvantaged individuals, including minorities and women, in participating in
contracting opportunities created by DOT financial assistance programs. The
Department, through its Operating Administrations, distributes in excess of $20 billion
annually to help finance thousands of projects across the country. Approximately 85% of
the assistance dollars is for construction. The major portion of the construction funds is
allocated to State highway and transportation agencies for highway construction. The
balance is provided to local public transit and airport authorities for mass transit and
airport facilities.
RECOMMENDED BOCC ACTION: Approve and sign the revised Plan and the
Resolution as presented.
Please Note: A copy of the Plan is on file with the Clerk's Office.
