SERVICES FUNDS ALLOCATION |

N 5180.28 |
March 7, 1989 |
|
- PURPOSE. To allocate supportive services funds to each State for
implementation of 23 U.S.C. 140(c), pertaining to the Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA) sponsored minority business enterprise (MBE) training program.
- CANCELLATION. FHWA Notice N 5180.27, Minority Business Enterprise
Training Program, FY 1988 Supportive Services Funds Allocation, dated April
7, 1988, is cancelled.
- ALLOCATION
- The allocation of supportive services funds to the individual States
for the MBE program is based on a formula involving each State's obligation
limitation. Each State will receive the formula allocation with a minimum
of $90,000 and a maximum of $500,000 unless a lesser amount was requested.
- By this Notice, Regional Administrators are advised of the availability
of MBE supportive services funds for obligation. These funds may be obligated
as soon as the allocation appears in the Fiscal Management Information System.
A Form FHWA-370, Advice of Funds Available for Obligation, will not be issued to the regions.
- The distribution of FY 1989 MBE supportive services funds is shown on the Attachment.
- Regional Administrators have been delegated the authority to transfer
MBE supportive services funds between the States in their respective regions
in accordance with the FHWA Organization Manual, Part I, Chapter 5, paragraph
50b. The Washington Headquarters (HHO-32, HCR-30, and HFS-1) shall be promptly
notified by memorandum of any transfer of funds.
- Obligation of reallocated funds will not be accepted into the Fiscal
Management Information System until the reallocation is entered by the Program
Analysis Division. Obligations for projects established under this program
must be recorded on Form FHWA-37, Project Status Record, and entered into
the Fiscal Management Information System. Appropriation Code 12c has been
established for the MBA program. Instructions for preparing the FHWA-37 for
this appropriation were distributed with Mr. Roy S. Marcey's September 28, 1987, memorandum.
- The FY 1989 supportive services funds not obligated by close of business
August 31, 1989, will be returned to the Washington Headquarters for redistribution.
Determinations that States will not use their entire allocation should be
made as early as possible so that their funds may be obligated elsewhere in
FY 1989.g.The point of obligation is defined as that time when the Regional
Administrator has approved a detailed work statement for the use of MBE supportive
services funds. The State highway agencies should, therefore, submit the detailed
work statements as soon as practicable after receipt of the allocation. The
Regional Administrator's approval authority may be redelegated to the Division Administrator.
- MBE PROGRAM
- Funds are made available under 23 U.S.C. 140(c) to develop, conduct,
and administer training programs and assistance programs in order that minority
and women businesses may achieve proficiency to compete, on an equal basis,
for contracts and subcontracts. The ultimate goal of the MBE supportive services
program is to increase the level of minority and women business participation
in Federal-aid program contract work. The goal of increased participation
may be achieved by providing assistance that accomplishes two objectives:
(1) to increase the total program and (2) to contribute to the growth and
eventual self-sufficiency of individual minority and women firms. Supportive
services activities should, therefore, be developed with an emphasis on assistance
that will enable and encourage individual minority and women firms to become self-sufficient.
- The MBE supportive services program should be developed and implemented
in accordance with 23 CFR , Subpart 230 and Federal-Aid Highway Program Manual
(FHPM) 6-4-1-8, Supportive Services for Minority, Disadvantaged, and Women
Business Enterprises.
- Each State should be encouraged to be actively involved in the supportive
services effort. Such involvement can take the form of staffing, funding,
and/or directassistance to augment the services procured by Federal-aid funds.
By becoming actively involved in the supportive services program, States may
increase their control over program directions and enhance continuity between
successive supportive service contracts.
- Supportive services program performance shall be continually monitored
and evaluated by FHWA and State highway agencies to assure that the available
funds are used effectively.
- EQUAL OPPORTUNITY. Funds are made available to State highway agencies
to provide supportive services either in-house or by contract. In accordance
with FHPM 6-4-1-8, the State highway agency, when contracting, shall solicit
proposals from such qualified sources as will assure the competitive nature
of the procurement.
