It has an estimated value of $584,100 (Federal portion).
HSA DBE Program 2020-2022 Goal Page 2
The fifth project (2022 Environmental Assessment for Runway 18-36
Extension) involves the services of planning and environmental
consultants. It has an estimated value of $225,000 (Federal
portion). The sixth project (2022 Airfield Lighting Design &
Construction) involves engineering services and electrical
contractors. It has an estimated value of $1,861,200 (Federal
portion). The seventh project (2022 Taxiway Extension Design &
Construction) involves engineering services, pavement construction,
pavement marking, and local trucking. It has an estimated value of
$2,781,000 (Federal portion). The Airport has set a goal of
expending $1,332,261 on these seven (7) projects with certified DBE
firms yielding a participation rate of 8.21%. Market Area: After
careful research of the historical bidding practices and responses
to requests for services, the Airport has determined that its
market area is of the entire State of Mississippi. Similar projects
examined were:
• An FY 2016 project to expand the apron, in which the prime for
engineering (Neel- Schaffer) was located in Ridgeland, MS, and the
prime for construction (Barnard & Sons) was located in
Mendenhall, MS.
• An FY 2017 project to rehabilitate Runway 18-36, in which the
prime for engineering
(Neel-Schaffer) was located in Ridgeland, MS, and the prime for
construction (Huey P Stockstill) was located in Picayune, MS.
• An FY 2018 project to install airfield guidance signs, in which
the prime for engineering
(Michael Baker) was headquartered in Pennsylvania, and the prime
for construction (Webster Electric) was located in Collinsville,
MS.
• An FY 2019 project to rehabilitate Taxiway A, in which the prime
for engineering (Michael Baker) was headquartered in Pennsylvania,
and the prime for construction (Sunbelt Sealing) was located in
Jackson, MS.
Seventy-five percent of the contractors/consultants for these
recent projects were located in Mississippi. Therefore, HSA has
determined that the appropriate Market Area is the entire state of
Mississippi.
HSA DBE Program 2020-2022 Goal Page 3
Method: In accordance with the current FAA and DOT guidance, the
Airport is utilizing a two-step process in setting its FYs
2020-2022 goals. The first step examines the relative availability
of DBE firms in the established Market Area and the second step
allows for adjustments to the relative availability based on:
• Information from available Disparity Studies
• Information gained from research and outreach with:
• Organizations servicing or representing DBE’s • Federal, State
and Local agencies that procure services • Agencies charged with
enforcing Civil Rights Law • State and Local Agencies responsible
for minority/women’s affairs
• Historical accomplishments of the Airport’s DBE program
Relative Availability: The following documents the relative
availability for the proposed project and will be used in the
overall calculation of relative availability for FYs 2020-2022
goals. The following is a summary of the method used to calculate
this goal: Step 1: The method used to calculate the relative
availability of DBEs for Step 1 in this process is 26.45(c) (1) DBE
Directories and Census Bureau Data. The base figure was determined
by dividing the total DBE firms in the local market area by the
total of all firms (both compiled according to the relevant
NAICS/SIC project codes). The following tables identify the
components of the projects broken down by trade with appropriate
NAICS codes.

Overall Base Figure Calculations: Following the procedures to add
weight factors based on the individual project estimates, an
additional weight factor is applied based on each project’s
percentage of the total amount of anticipated award construction
dollars.
Project Amount of Estimate % of Total / Weight Factor 1-North Apron
Expansion $5,083,418 31.33% 2-ALP and PMP $256,050 1.58% 3-Taxiway

$2,781,000 17.14% Total $16,226,768 100.00% The Overall Base Figure
is calculated by multiplying each project's (contract) base figure
by its weight factor and adding them together. The calculation for
the Overall Base Figure is: 1 - North Apron Expansion (11.70 x
0.3133) = 3.66% 2 - ALP and PMP (9.79 x 0.0158) = 0.15% 3 - Taxiway
Sierra Expansion (11.70 x 0.335) = 3.92% 4 - Security & Fencing
Project (9.24 x 0.036) = 0.33% 5 - EA for Runway 18-36 Extension
(23.40 x 0.0139) = 0.32% 6 - Airfield Lighting Project (6.89 x
0.1147) = 0.79% 7 - Taxiway Extension (11.70 x 0.1714) = 2.00%
Overall Base Figure = (11.70 x 0.3133) + (9.79 x 0.0158) + (11.70 x
0.335) + (9.24 x 0.036) + (23.40 x 0.0139) + (6.89 x 0.1147) +
(11.70 x 0.1714) = 11.19% Overall Base Figure = 3.66% + 0.15% +

Step 2: This step is intended to adjust the “overall base figure”
percentage from Step 1 so that it reflects as accurately as
possible the DBE participation the recipient would expect in the
absence of discrimination. Disparity Studies: The Airport was
unable to document the existence of any disparity studies for the
area over the last several years. The Jackson Municipal Airport
Authority has hired a firm to prepare a Disparity Study, but the
results are not yet available. Finding no available data, the
Airport contacted the following organizations via phone in
September of 2020:
• South Mississippi Planning & Development District – Mr.
Leonard Bentz, Executive Director
• Mississippi Economic Development Council – Mr. Chandler Russ,
Executive Director Neither was able to provide any other
documentation of disparity studies performed for the region. Since
this source was unable to provide the Airport with any available
disparity study information and with the lack of any disparity
study being performed in the region, the Airport must then look to
historical performance and DBE goal accomplishment under previous
FAA grants for similar types of construction. The Airport reviewed
its historical DBE participation achievement in order to ensure the
goal’s reasonableness. By averaging the median historical DBE
participation rate with the relative availability calculated in
Step 1, an adjusted DBE goal is calculated. The historic overall
DBE goals accomplished at the Airport for similar work in recent
years that were examined relative to the above consideration are
summarized below.
HSA Historical DBE Accomplishments for Similar DOT-Assisted
Contracts
Fiscal Year Goal Accomplishment Type of Work FY 2016 10.45% 0.00%
Expand Apron FY 2017 10.45% 10.46% Rehabilitate Runway 18-36 FY
2018 10.45% 0.00% Install Airfield Guidance Signs FY 2019 10.45%
19.55% Rehabilitate Taxiway A
5.23% Median Accomplishments for all Projects
Since ‘median’ is defined as the middle value in a list of numbers,
the table above indicates that the median accomplishment is
5.23%.
HSA DBE Program 2020-2022 Goal Page 13
By averaging the median historical DBE participation rate with the
relative availability calculated in Step 1, an adjusted DBE goal
for the FYs 2020-2022 can be calculated. When we compare median
accomplishment with the proposed base figure for FYs 2020-2020, we
determine that the adjusted overall goal is: 8.21%.
(Base figure) 11.19% + (Historical Median) 5.23% divided by 2 =
8.21% (Adjusted Overall Goal)
Breakout of Estimated Race-Neutral and Race-Conscious Participation
The Commission will strive to meet the maximum feasible portion of
its overall goal by using race-neutral means of facilitating DBE
participation. The Commission uses the following race- neutral
means to increase DBE participation: By arranging solicitations,
times for the presentations of bids, quantities, specifications,
and delivery schedules in ways to facilitate DBE, and other small
businesses, participation (e.g. requiring and/or encouraging prime
contractors to subcontract portions of work that they might
otherwise perform with their own forces). Additionally, the Airport
and its consultant provide all potential bidders with information
about the State of Mississippi’s Department of Transportation web
site for certified DBE contractors found at:
https://mdot.ms.gov/bidsystem_data/bidderspdf/DBE%20Listing.pdfgi-bin/construction.asp
Contract Goals
Historically, the Hancock County Port and Harbor Commission has
used race-conscious measures in obtaining its overall contract
goals on federally assisted contracts. With minimal success, the
Commission has tried to use race-neutral means in recent years.
However, recent accomplishments indicate that the race-neutral goal
was not met. Coupled with the fact that the current median
accomplishment is 5.23% and the adjusted goal is 8.21%, we believe
that it is appropriate to employ a race-conscious goal going
forward. We estimate that, in meeting our overall adjusted goal of
8.21%, we will obtain 0% from race-neutral participation and 8.21%
from race-conscious measures (e.g. setting contract goals). The
Commission will use contract goals to meet any portion of the
overall goal it does not project being able to meet using
race-neutral means. Contract goals are established so that, over
the period to which the overall goal applies, they will
cumulatively result in meeting any portion of the Airport’s overall
goal that is not projected to be met through the use of race-
neutral means. The Commission will establish contract goals only
for those DOT-assisted contracts that have subcontracting
possibilities. It is not necessary to establish a contract goal on
every contract, and the size of contract goals will be adapted to
the circumstances of each contract (e.g., type and location of
work, availability of DBEs to perform the particular type of
work).

Questions During 10-1-20 DBE Goal Teleconference
1. Carolyn Bell (Mississippi DOT DBE Program): The presentation
shows only the federal portion of the overall project cost. What
are the total project costs?
Brad Kutchins (Kutchins & Groh) responded that for each of the
projects, there is a 90/10 split, meaning that AIP funds cover 90%
while other entities, usually the state, cover the remaining
10%.
End of Questions.
