MBE Program Page 8 MBE CERTIFICATION PROCEDURES The San Marcos Airport shall establish and maintain an up-to-date MBE directory of firms capable of performing various aspects of airport projects. The directory shall include only those firms which it can certify as owned and controlled by minorities and women. The Airport accepts as certified those firms which are identified by the Small Business Administration (SEA) as 8 (a) firms. Firms which have been previously certified by other governmental agencies are also acceptable, provided the certification has been made within one (1) year. Firms that desire certification which do not meet the above-mentioned certifi- cation criteria will be required to submit the DOT-schedule A in its entirety to the City before they can be certified and listed. In the case of joint ventures, if all firms participating in the joint venture are minority owned and have been previously certified, the joint venture will be listed as such. If they do not meet that criteria, the MBE member must complete Schedule A and the joint venture must complete Schedule B prior to certification. The act of simply filling out the schedules A and/or B does not mean automatic certification at the San Marcos Municipal Airport. A review shall be conducted on all items on the application with particular emphasis placed on the following items: Item 4: The legal structure of the firm sets the tone and depth of the analysis of the remainder of the information on the schedule. (For example, a sole proprietorship will be sub- jected to a less strenuous review than a joint venture or corporation) Item 6: The period of time the firm has been established Item 7: Ownership Item 8: Control of firm Item 9: Individual's qualifications and years with the firm Item 10: Ownership options Item 11: Business relationships Item 12: Dollar volume of firm Item 14: Authorized to do business Item 15: Previous MBE certification The rules and procedures of Section 23.53 of 49 CFR Part 23 govern the Airport's certification process. In the event that nothing in the infor- mation given in the Schedule leads to a question of the possibility of contrivance, the firm shall be certified and listed in the Directory.
