Abstract:

The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) issued an RFP to conduct a Disparity Study in response to the guidelines issued by US Department of Transportation (USDOT) following the Western States Paving Co. v. Washington Department of Transportation decision. The purpose of the study was to determine to what extent Disadvantaged Businesses (DBE) participate in the procurement of USDOT federally funded contracts within Montana. The study was conducted through the completion of 10 tasks: Analyze Relevant Case Law; Review Policies, Procedures and DBE Program; Determine the Relevant Market Area; Determine the Utilization of DBE firms; Determine the Availability of DBE firms; Conduct Disparity Analysis; Determine the Utilization of DBE firms in the Private Sector; Conduct a Multivariate Regression Analysis; Conduct Anecdotal Analysis; and Develop Finding and Recommendations. Based on the data analyzed for the study period, the MDT should continue operating in a race-neutral environment and implement a small business program. Additional recommendations include setting goals on professional services contracts and developing a stronger compliance section within the DBE programs office.

Record includes final report and appendices.
