Mnt Attachment B CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH MINORITY BUSINESS ENTERPRISE PROGRAM OVERALL M.B.E. GOAL The City of Huntington Beach, as a recipient of U.S. Dept. of Transportation funding, has established an overall M.B.E. goal of 5%. METHODOLOGY This goal is based on the planned costs of three federally funded projects scheduled for the current goal year. Two of the projects, Signal Improvements at Adams and Brookhurst (planned cost $92, 000) and Warner at Goldenwest (planned cost $85, 000) , were each less than $100, 000 in cost; therefore, our overall M.B.E. goal was based largely on an analysis of the third project. This project is a $970, 500 signal interconnect endeavor on Edinger Avenue. The contract for this project will include supplying traffic controllers, modifying traffic signals and some roadway construction. Typically, a prime contractor for this project would be an electrical signal specialist and would complete 75% of the contract work himself. It is unlikely that this individual will be a qualified minority con- tractor; therefore, only 25% of the project could potentially be let to a minority business enterprise. An analysis of the bid items comprising this percentage revealed that $56 ,000, or 5. 7% of the total project cost, would probably be let to a minority business enterprise. SUMMATION. Taking the figure of $56, 0OO then, and dividing it by the sum total of all three project ($1,147,500) yields an overal M.B.E. goal of 4. 88% or 5% when rounded off. Res.
