SMALL BUSINESS ENTERPRISE PROGRAM. The Alameda Corridor Transportation Authority ("ACTA") is committed to creating an environment that provides all individuals and businesses open access to the business opportunities available at ACTA. ACTA's Small Business Enterprise (SBE) Program was created to provide opportunities for small businesses to participate in professional service and construction contracts. It is the policy of ACTA to solicit participation in the performance of all service contracts by all individuals and businesses, including, but not limited to, SBEs, women owned business enterprises (WBEs), minority-owned business enterprises (MBEs), and disabled veteran business enterprises (DVBEs). The SBE Program allows ACTA to target small business participation, including MBEs, WBEs, and DVBEs, more effectively. An overall ACTA goal of 25% SBE participation by total contract value and/or by total number of contracts awarded to SBE prime consultants or contractors has been established for the Program. The specific goal or requirement for each contract opportunity may be higher or lower based on the scope of work, and will be stated in the specific request for proposals or bids. Based on the work to be performed under this Federal Advocacy Services Agreement, it has been determined that the percentage of small business participation will be 0% participation. Consultant shall be responsible for determining the SBE status of its subconsultants for purposes of meeting the small business requirement, where required, and for reporting to ACTA. Subconsultants must qualify as an SBE based on the type of services that they will be performing under the Agreement. All business participation will be determined by the percentage of the total amount of compensation under the agreement paid to SBEs.

SMALL BUSINESS ENTERPRISE PROGRAM. The Agency’s Small Business Enterprise (“SBE”) Program was adopted by Agency Resolution No. 133-2004 on November 16, 2004, as part of the Agency’s Interim Purchasing Policy and Procedures, and may be amended from time to time. The SBE Program provides for first consideration in awarding subcontracts and sub-consulting opportunities to Agency certified local small business enterprises. The SBE Program is designed to help ensure that SBEs have a fair opportunity to compete for and participate in contracts related to Agency- Action Projects and other projects that are subject to the SBE Program. SBEs are divided into three groups: (1) Project Area SBEs, (2) Local SBEs (outside an Agency project or survey area, but within San Francisco), and (3) all other SBEs (outside of San Francisco). If subject to the SBE Program, the Project Sponsor and its Contractors and Employers must make good faith efforts to achieve the goal of 50% SBE participation for professional / personal services, and construction contracts. The SBE Program sets a contracting goal and thus is different from the Employment and Contracting Policy which sets hiring goals. The Project Sponsor’s obligations under the SBE Program will be incorporated into a SBE Agreement (“SBE Agreement”). The Agency Executive Director will review and approve the SBE Agreement on behalf of the Agency. The Agency’s Compliance Officer will ensure compliance with the requirements and will report periodically to the BVHP PAC and the Agency Commission on compliance matters.

SMALL BUSINESS ENTERPRISE PROGRAM. The City of Los Angeles Harbor Department is committed to creating an environment that provides all individuals and businesses open access to the business opportunities available at the Harbor Department in a manner that reflects the diversity of the City of Los Angeles. The Harbor Department's Small Business Enterprise (SBE) Program was created to provide additional opportunities for small businesses to participate in professional service and construction contracts. An overall Department goal of 25% SBE participation, including 5% Very Small Business Enterprise (VSBE) participation, has been established for the Program. The specific goal or requirement for each contract opportunity may be higher or lower based on the scope of work. It is the policy of the Harbor Department to solicit participation in the performance of all service contracts by all individuals and businesses, including, but not limited to, SBEs, VSBEs, women-owned business enterprises (WBEs), minority-owned business enterprises (MBEs), and disabled veteran business enterprises (DVBEs). The SBE Program allows the Harbor Department to target small business participation, including MBEs, WBEs, and DVBEs, more effectively. It is the intent of the Harbor Department to make it easier for small businesses to participate in contracts by providing education and assistance on how to do business with the City, and ensuring that payments to small businesses are processed in a timely manner. In order to ensure the highest participation of SBE/VSBE/MBE/WBE/DVBEs, all proposers shall utilize the City’s contracts management and opportunities database, the Los Angeles Business Assistance Virtual Network (LABAVN), at xxxx://xxx.xxxxxx.xxx, to outreach to potential subcontractors. The Harbor Department defines a SBE as an independently owned and operated business that is not dominant in its field and meets criteria set forth by the Small Business Administration in Title 13, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 121. Go to xxx.xxx.xxx for more information. The Harbor Department defines a VSBE based on the State of California's Micro-business definition which is 1) a small business that has average annual gross receipts of $3,500,000 or less within the previous three years, or (2) a small business manufacturer with 25 or fewer employees. The SBE Program is a results-oriented program, requiring consultants who receive contracts from the Harbor Department to perform outreach and utilize certified small businesses. B...
SMALL BUSINESS ENTERPRISE PROGRAM. The Successor Agency has adopted a Small Business Enterprise (“SBE”) Program, which provides for the Successor Agency’s certification of a small business enterprise as an SBE and first consideration of SBEs in the award of contracts in the following order: (1) SBEs located in a redevelopment project area located within San Francisco (“Project Area SBEs”), (2) Local SBEs (outside an Successor Agency Project or Survey Area, but within San Francisco), and (3) Non-local SBEs (outside of San Francisco). Non-local SBEs should be used to satisfy participation goals only if Project Area SBEs or Local SBEs are not available, qualified, or if their bids or fees are significantly higher than those of non-local SBEs. The Developer agrees to make good faith efforts to achieve the goals of the SBE Program, which are 50% SBE participation for professional, personal services, and construction contracts for consultants and contractors. SBEs must be certified with the Successor Agency in order to satisfy participation goals. The Developer has agreed that if the Developer intends to utilize consultants in the provision of services during the predevelopment phase, then from and after the effective date of this Agreement, it must make good faith efforts to comply with the provisions of the Small Business Enterprise Program Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit F..
SMALL BUSINESS ENTERPRISE PROGRAM. OCII implements a Small Business Enterprises (“SBE”) Program that was adopted by Agency Resolution No. 82-2009 and requires consideration in awarding contracts in the following order: 1) Project Area SBEs, 2) San Francisco-based SBEs (outside an Agency Project Area), and 3) All other SBEs. Non San Francisco-based SBEs should be used to satisfy participation goals only if Project Area SBEs or San Francisco-based SBEs are not available, qualified, or if their bids or fees are significantly higher than those of non San Francisco-based SBEs (see Exhibit E, “SBE Agreement”). Under the SBE Program, the Developer, in awarding subcontracts, must make good faith efforts to achieve SBE participation of 50 percent for professional, personal services, and construction contracts; provided, however, that this goal may vary depending on the extent of subcontracting opportunities under OCII contract and the availability of SBE subcontractors capable of providing goods or services required by the contract; and provided further, that OCII has the sole discretion to modify the 50 percent SBE participation goal consistent with the SBE Program, as specified in the SBE Agreement. OCII relies on the information that a business may have provided to qualify under another public entities’ business certification program in determining whether that business qualifies as an SBE under OCII’s SBE Program. Those other programs include: City and County of San Francisco Local Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (LBE) certification (http:// xxxxx.xxx/xxxxx.xxxx?xxxx=0000) and State of California Small Business Enterprise certification (xxxx://xxx.xxx.xx.xxx/pd/Programs/OSDS/GetCertified.aspx). OCII retains the discretion, however, to determine if the information provided for those other programs meets SBE eligibility under OCII’s SBE Program. The Developer has agreed that if the Developer intends to utilize consultants in the provision of services during the predevelopment phase, then from and after the effective date of this Agreement, it must make good faith efforts to comply with the provisions of the Small Business Enterprise Program Agreement.
