Abstract:This study was undertaken at the request of the Texas Department of Transportation in response to its obligations under Senate Bill 352, 72nd Texas State Legislature (Texas Revised Statutes, Article 6669C) to conduct a fact-finding study in support of a state-funds contracting and procurement program for businesses owned by minorities and women. This report examines more than five years of Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation in TxDOT highway construction contracting and presents DBE participation data calculated from the Department's Subcontractor Monitoring System (SMS) for prime contracts and associated contracts. The period covered runs from the beginning of January 1987 through early June 1992. It describes participation by minority-owned and women-owned businesses in the contracting and subcontracting processes associated with the construction of highways by TxDOT. While a comparative analysis of this information shows important differences between DBE and non-DBE firms, it reveals important similarities as well.
