PREFACE
The following collection of tables provides supplemental data to the Minority Business
Development Offices Semi-Annual Report presentation to City Council. A brief
narrative of Ordinance 2008-89 is provided.
Ordinance 2008-89 requires developing Diversity Management Information System
(DMI) reports which delineate utilization of Small Local Business Enterprises (SLBE)
and Women/Minority Business Enterprises (WMBE) on the basis of total procurement,
total dollars awarded and payments. The Ordinance has two main components, the SLBE
Program and the WMBE Program.
The SLBE Program is the primary initiative and open to all independently owned small
businesses including WMBEs that have operated for a minimum of one year and met the
business size standards and gross receipt limits. The program is race and gender-neutral,
with an emphasis on small businesses in the Tampa Bay area. Also, the business owner
must have permanent residence in Florida and the company must be domiciled in the
SLBE Market area (Hillsborough, Pinellas, Polk, Pasco, and Manatee). The second
component is the WMBE Program which is ethnic and gender based, and requires a legal
basis that is predicated on multi-year statistical evidence of disparity. Should it be
determined that disparity exists for a given group, the Ordinance includes provisions that
may allow use of mandatory WMBE participation goals. However, the remedies must be
specific to the disparity found (i.e. narrowly tailored).
The SLBE and WMBE Program initiatives currently implemented are based on findings
in the Disparity Study completed in 2007. The Study revealed there was no disparity in
subcontracting to WMBEs; however, disparity was documented in the area of prime
contracting. The Study concluded there was no legal justification for a mandatory ethnic
and gender based subcontract-goal program. In order to implement mandatory ethnic and
gender-based initiatives, it will require meeting the legal standard of disparity. If audit
findings show disparity, any remedies must be narrowly tailored.
The key provisions of Ordinance 2008-89 are:
Administration of SLBE and WMBE certifications
SLBE Subcontracting
SLBE Sheltered Market Procurement
WMBE narrowly-tailored remedies when authorized by law
DMI Statistical Reporting Requirements
Designation of Small Local Business Market area
The City of Tampa is in compliance with the strict judicial guidelines and standards that
now apply to local government SLBE and WMBE contracting programs. In this regard,
the MBD Office has enacted several new business processes that ensure comprehensive
data collection, enhanced automation, and improved report methodology.

Supplemental Report
April 2010
Some of the expanded data elements included SLBE prime and subcontract data, and
WMBE prime and subcontract data. At the prime and subcontract levels, data was sorted
into five (5) industry categories:

Construction
Construction-Related Services
Professional Services
Non-Professional Services
Goods

MBD completed its second fiscal year report (FY 2009) analyzing procurement within
the five industry categories using DMI methodologies consistent with best practices and
judicial guidelines. The semi-annual report analyzed a two-year period (FY 2008-2009)
of contract activity. MBD analyzes availability and utilization based on fiscal years,
contracts awarded, and actual payments received by prime and subcontractors.
Key utilization results by industry category for the cumulative period were as follows:
For contracts under $500,000, Hispanic Americans met target threshold in NonProfessional Services and Asian Americans met target in Construction
For contracts under $25,000, African Americans met target threshold in Construction,
Hispanic Americans, Native Americans, Caucasian Females met target threshold in
Construction-Related Services; Hispanic Americans met target in Goods
For subcontracts, Asian Americans and Caucasian Females met target threshold in
Construction; African Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Caucasian Females met
target in Non-Professional Services; Hispanic Americans met target in Goods
Total contracts awarded in FY 2009 were 2,148; FY 2008-2009 was 5,423.
The following steps detail the processes required for WMBE Program policy changes:
Record and evaluate the availability and utilization of all vendors using ten (10)
ethnic and gender classifications
DMI compilation of contract and subcontract awards and payment information
Pursuant to legal standards collecting three (3) to five (5) years of data
Compose DMI reports to determine disparity by ethnic and gender classifications in
the five (5) industry categories
If the DMI report analysis concludes that disparity does not exist, the City will
continue SLBE Program as primary initiative
When DMI statistical analysis concludes disparity exist, a legal review is required
When a legal basis provides for corrective action to the disparity, narrowly-tailored
race and gender-based remedies (mandatory WMBE program) may be enacted

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------NOTE:
The $200,000 threshold is based on the exemptions per Florida Statutes.
According to Chapter 255.05(1) (a) of the Florida State Statutes, any entity entering into
a local government contract worth $200,000 or less may be exempt from a performance
bond. Secondly, this threshold affords SLBEs to perform City work as a prime. This
initiative increases the pool of SLBEs and their capacity to bid.
