DBE TRIENNIAL GOAL SET FY (2011-2013)

The Municipality of Anchorage, Office of Equal Opportunity (MOA OEO) proposed the following Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Overall Goal of 4.5% for Fiscal Years (FY) 2011-2013.

The Triennial Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) goal setting is a two-step process:
Step 1 is the ratio of DBEs derived from the current Alaska Unified Certification Program (AUCP) Directory which shows 121 DBEs available in the Anchorage Municipal area compared to the 2010 United States Census Data for all businesses in the same area using the NAICS codes 23---(Construction = 1,381) and 54--- (Professional, scientific, and technical services = 1,316).

Step 2 is the potential adjustment of the Step 1 goal based on the effects of discrimination in the public contracting program and past participation. The MOA as a recipient of the Federal Department of Transportation (FTA –Transit, FHWAHighway, and FAA – Airport) is seeking consultation with minority, women’s and general contractor groups, community organizations, and other officials or organizations concerning what adjustments, if any, need to be made to the proposed 4.5% DBE goal, the availability of disadvantaged and non-disadvantaged businesses and the effects of discrimination on opportunities for DBEs. Individuals or groups who have information concerning the availability of disadvantaged and non-disadvantaged businesses, the effects of discrimination on opportunities for DBEs and ways to establish a level playing field and provide fair participation for DBEs are encouraged to provide information and comments to the address listed below or visit the Municipality of Anchorage (MOA) websitewww.muni.org.

Welcome to the Alaska Women's Network (AWN). Alaska is a big state, but with a population of just over 600,000 residents, it is really a small community. AWN connects Alaskan women with each other, the rest of the country, and the world. We are an apolitical organization providing information to women of all backgrounds.

Want to get involved? Talk to us! If you support the mission of the Alaska Women's Network, sign up now. Members are eligible for participation in the AWN ListServ -- a tool for hundreds of women connected by email all over the Land of The Midnight Sun.

AWN Needs Your Help!
Thank you for visiting the Alaska Women's Network. 2013 marks the seventeenth year anniversary of our organization and our website. Since 1996, AWN has served as the portal to Alaska, not just for the women of Alaska, but for tens of thousands of women from around the world. Our commitment has been to be the communications network for the women of Alaska and, after seventeen years, we remain the only statewide information source by, for and about women.
