SUBMITTED JULY 8, 2003
BY RIVERVIEW CONSULTANTS, INC.
1010 EAST ADAMS STREET
JACKSONVILLE, FL 32202
I. INTRODUCTION
Riverview Consultants, Inc. (RCI), a Minority owned and operated management consulting
firm, located in Jacksonville, Florida, is interested in continuing its provision of
Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program support services to Key West
International Airport and Florida Keys Marathon Airport (the Airports) via a sub consultant
agreement with URS Corporation (URS).
The Phase I, Development, portion of RCI's DBE Programs support services subcontract
via URS will expire on August 31, 2003.
We anticipate a smooth and uninterrupted transition into the Phase II, Implementation
Assistance, portion of RCI's DBE services subcontract via URS beginning on October 1,
2003. We propose to serve as the DBELO's support services staff (Phase II) per this
agreement.
Riverview Consultants, Inc., one of the few firms in the country that recently served as an
official SBA Private Certifier of small disadvantaged businesses, provides these Minority
Business Enterprise Program services:
• Conducting M/DBE Staff Training; seminars and workshops.
• Preparing M/DBE Program Plans & Procedures Manuals.
• Assisting with pre -bid and pre -construction conferences.
• Identifying, recruiting and certifying M/DBE firms.
• Providing post -award project monitoring to ensure compliance.
• Conducting "Good Faith Efforts" Audits of Prime Contractors.
• Conducting internal program assessments including Desk Audits, and making
compliance recommendations to governmental agencies.
• Providing AIP Contracts' Financial Administration Assistance
II. OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE NEED
The Airports are preparing to spend approximately $8,000,000 in construction
projects via FAA's Airport Improvement Program (AIP). Those dollars may be spent
to expand/repair Terminals and/or Parking Garages; Runways; Aprons; Access
Roads; etc., infrastructure and other construction projects geared to meet the needs
of the growing . Monroe County Airports area. These projects will provide an
opportunity for local entrepreneurs, large and small, to participate in the business
activities at the Airports.
The federal government has determined that, historically, disadvantaged businesses
have not received a proportionate share of construction and professional service
opportunities on previous DOT/FAA funded projects. This fact prompted the Board
and the Airport Manager to research, develop and enact specific overall goals for
DBE participation on all FAA funded airport projects. These goals, however,
address only one side of the limited DBE participation equation, i.e., the access to
opportunity. The other equally important sides to this equation are (1) limitations
about the awareness of these opportunities; (2) management and financial
deficiencies which impede timely and successful performance on
contracts/subcontracts available from the Airports' DBE Program; (3) an effective
1
Monitoring process to ensure that DBEs are being utilized as proposed; (4) the
Prompt Payment Process to DBEs; (5) the presentation of timely and accurate DBE
Programs reports to FAA; and other U.S. DOT compliance issues.
Filling the information void would not, in and of itself, increase the participation of
DBEs on the Airports' FAA funded projects unless technical, management, and
financial deficiencies are addressed. These deficiencies include:
• Limited management know-how and the absence of management services
and technical assistance when the business was initially organized.
• Low education levels and low managerial skills in key areas of the business.
• The absence of adequate capital.
• The absence of effective communication skills in the presentation of specific
capital needs.
• The absence of proper business accounting and inventory control systems to
maintain a viable business.
• The inability to locate financial resources compatible with individual business
needs. '
• Inexperience with the Airports' procurement policies; and bidding procedures
and requirements in general; and specific DBE Program requirements.
We do understand that the Airports' Disadvantaged Business Enterprise
Department, similar to most Minority Program staffs, is insufficiently staffed to devote
the man-hours which are necessary to provide management and technical
assistance to DBE firms while maintaining control of the Department's other daily
DBE compliance issues. Hence, the need for a consultant Supportive Services
Team exists to provide assistance to the Airports' DBELO.
Our keen awareness of this situation is due to our extensive participation as
DBE/MBE supportive service consultants on several similar tasks with the Federal
Aviation Administration, the Federal Transportation Administration and with private
corporations.
Riverview Consultants, Inc.'s (RCI) primary focus for this assignment is to provide
staff extension and support to Monroe County Airports' DBELOs with the
implementation of its Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program. However,
specific staff support responsibilities would involve the development and
implementation of a Bonding & Technical Assistance component that will enhance
DBE participation during the design, construction management, and contract
construction portions of the Airport AIP tasks, particularly its anticipated $8,000,000
new Airport Improvement Projects (AIPs).
The problems encountered with developing techniques for any DBE Supportive
Services Program geared toward the Airports' FAA funded construction projects, and
professional service tasks are astronomical. Given the fact that the level of
construction experience required by the Airports' AIP tasks is not a common
occurrence, only a few local DBE contractors have had actual experience in
construction projects of this magnitude, and/or the rigors of the Airports'
requirements for standards of work. An intensive recruitment of DBE contractors in
all areas of construction and engineering/ professional services shall be conducted.
2
Certification determinations and capability reviews shall be conducted for these firms
also. RCI's supportive services team will augment the DBELO's effort to serve as a
link between the majority and minority contractors who bid on the Airports' AIPs and
other DBE projects in the area.
Supportive services for these DBE contractors are vital because DBEs, generally, do
not utilize typical business skills that are essential to the effective operations of a
business. Financial data necessary to secure bonding and_ loans is virtually
nonexistent or has been postponed due to poor bookkeeping and other business
management practices.
Applicable Laws and Regulations
We have a working knowledge of each Airport's DBE Program requirements; and we
are aware of the normal DBE identification and certification problems as well as
other legal and administrative problems unique to the Airports' DBE Programs. We
are, therefore, committing the same key personnel used on previous successful
projects to man this task in order that we may decrease the frequency of problems,
and quickly resolve those problems as they arise. Our entire team is familiar with
federal, state and local laws regarding Minority Programs' implementation, but we
are willing to familiarize ourselves with applicable Monroe County Airports
regulations and any new and innovative strategies which will enable us to become
more valuable "team" players.
RCI's approaches for addressing these issues, as well as other standard needs, are
discussed in detail in item IV... METHODOLOGY.
III. PURPOSES, SCOPE & OBJECTIVES

IV. METHODOLOGY
A. Identifying Capable Firms:
Riverview Consultants will assist each Airport's staff with the identification of firms to
participate in the Bonding & Technical Assistance Program and on each Airports'
AIP tasks. These "select" DBE firms will be surveyed to obtain information such as
the number of years in business, largest contract performed, number of employees,
subcontracting experience, bonding capacity, etc. Interviews will be also conducted
to determine their interim needs for supportive services. The survey information
obtained about each firm will be organized into sections based on trade and/or
provision of goods and services and placed in each firm's file. We will also
implement procedures to be used in the monthly update of this information as the
DBEs progress through the Program.
B. Outreach:
Riverview Consultants, Inc. proposes outreach activities to DBE firms through the
implementation of the following activities:
• Contacting these DBE firms via letter & phone calls to arrange meetings at
the firm's office.
• Developing and maintaining a working relationship with DBEs.
• Arranging meetings with Purchasing and DBE Program officials from the
Airports and local majority corporations to discuss the procurement
opportunities available to the "select" DBEs at the Airports and at the
respective corporations.
C. Management & Technical Assistance:
Riverview Consultants will approach this contract as an individually unique and
challenging opportunity to assist the Airports' staffs in addressing local
Disadvantaged Business Enterprise needs via this Program. We have found that
there is no substitute for an aggressive field operation that outreaches to the DBE
firms as' opposed to waiting for them to "come into the office." We, therefore,
encourage you to implement the Bonding and Technical Assistance component in
order to successfully assist DBEs in the manner that will be most beneficial to them.
The effective provision of management and technical assistance by Riverview
Consultants, Inc.'s staff will assure a successful DBE Program for each Airport
D. Reporting and Performance Requirements:
Riverview Consultants, Inc. will report all problems or problem areas encountered,
recommending, where possible, solutions that could alleviate the problem(s). Time
given and/or intensity of effort devoted to this task will depend on the
circumstances/needs of the DBE firms as directed/coordinated via each Airports'
staff. These services, to the greatest practical extent, will be rendered on a one-to-
one contact basis between Riverview Consultants, Inc.'s staff and the individual DBE
firms. Previous governmental Minority/Women (MWBE) Program legislation has
given rise to the formation of 51 per centum, 49 per centum owners with a minority
6
V.
or female figurehead "acting" as the party who manages and controls the business
on a day-to-day basis. RCI's staff has the experience and expertise to identify and
eliminate those "fronts", thereby ensuring that the Airports' DBE Program benefits
only those firms for which the Program is intended. The fact that many DBE firms
are under -publicized, under -capitalized, and have limited bonding capacity is felt
enormously when DBEs are forced to compete against well -established non -minority
companies and well -financed and organized 51 %/49% companies with vast
resources. Riverview Consultants, Inc.'s supportive services efforts are not
shortsighted on this socioeconomic, highly political problem, and the need for the
Airports' Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program to:
• Identify legitimate DBE firms who are capable of providing goods and
services.
• Conduct reviews of ongoing purchases of goods and services and/or
contracts to assure that each Airport and participating majority firms achieve
DBE goals.
• Prepare and circulate viable directories of DBEs
• Work with other officials to coordinate the Airports' DBE Program goals
requirements for certain goods and services to be matched with and
performed by capable DBEs to meet those specified requirements.
• Provide meaningful management and technical assistance to DBE firms
competing for and securing contracts or providing goods and services to each
Airport and to local majority firms.

VI. MANAGEMENT/CONSULTANT INTERFACE
The Consultant's level of effort for this task is, of course, commensurate with the
Airports' perceived need(s) and willingness to provide sufficient staff and financial
resources for the task.
We request the Airports' appointment of a "Management Team" for the Consultants to
report to/work with, and provide direction to the Consultant throughout this level of
effort. Our experience on previous and similar* projects spurs our requirement of a five
(5) day turn around on matters of policy from the Management Team in order to avoid
unnecessary delays that could disrupt the Consultant's schedule.
The Consultant shall keep the Team abreast of all scope of service items on a regular
basis via ten (10) schedule meetings, e-mail, fax, and telephone calls as necessary.
