<strong>PUBLIC NOTICE OF CITY PROPOSED FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION TRIENNIAL ACDBE PARTICIPATION GOAL</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Phoenix Proposes an ACDBE goal of 27.1% in non-Rental Car Concessions and a 4.1% in Rental Car Concession Opportunities at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport </strong>
</p>
<p>The City of Phoenix is soliciting feedback from community stakeholders on the triennial <span id="ms-rterangepaste-start"></span>Airport Concession Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (ACDBE) goal that will be proposed to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on December 1, 2020. A goal of 27.1% in non-rental car concessions and a 4.1% in rental car concessions for ACDBE participation will be proposed for the time period of October 2020 to September 2023; the goals must be achieved on an annual basis. </p>
<p>The ACDBE goal, which will be achieved through race- and gender-neutral measures, is established pursuant to 49 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 23. and FAA guidance. Due to the absence of a disparity study, rather than setting ACDBE goals, the city imposes small business outreach requirements on its contracts to foster small business and ACDBE participation. </p>
<p>Details about the proposed ACDBE goal are available for public review and inspection at the city’s Equal Opportunity Department, 200 W. Washington St., 15th floor, during normal business hours for 30 days following the date of this notice. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic please contact one of the staff listed and we can make it available to interested parties. Public comments will be received for a period of 45 days from the date of this notice. Based upon a review of comments received, the city reserves the right to adjust the proposed goal. </p>
<p>A presentation for finalization of the proposed ACDBE goal will be held via a WebEx virtual meeting Wednesday, September 30, from 9:00-10:30 a.m. (<a target="_blank" href="/eodsite/Documents/Triennial%20ACDBE%20Goal%20Public%20Forum%20with%20Proposed%20Goal%20090420.pdf">ACDBE flyer</a>).</p><p>To RSVP online please register here <a target="_blank" href="https://phxacdbetriennial.eventbrite.com">https://phxacdbetriennial.eventbrite.com</a></p>
