29 Attachment 7 Committee Work Program updates Business Member Board of Governors Summary Report Business Member Procurement Committee Note: Because so many procurement issues are also legislative issues, the two committees have met jointly for the last year. This means APTA staff don t have to report on the same things twice and that members of both committees stay updated on progress (or lack thereof).

Retainage clauses are for construction contracts that use the retainage as leverage to obtain the final quality specified of the intended product. Slow Payment: Slow payment (more than 30 days) of invoices by owners cost A-E s many $ in interest payments which are not allowable under overhead audits, and result in reduced profitability. Most federal contracts require interest to be paid to the A-E for slow payments.

33 Business Member Board of Governors Summary Report Attachment 9 Business Member Small Business Committee Committee Work Program updates 1. First Work Program - Objective: Create opportunities for APTA small and disadvantaged business members to establish meaningful business relationships with clients and other potential partners. Initiatives: SB2SB: We hosted a Small Business to Small Business reception with COMTO in Denver at Maggiano s Little Italy Restaurant on Monday night June 11 during the Rail Conference. The reception was designed to facilitate networking and conversations between APTA small businesses and COMTO s small businesses, as well as to introduce COMTO members to APTA. We had about 60 people. The COMTO Denver Chapter co-hosted the event It was sponsored by the business member activity fund, Denver RTD, COMTO- Denver, and Triunity Engineering Speakers included Doug Tisdale, Denver Board Member, Dave Genova, Denver CEO, and Stephanie Nellons-Paige, Managing Director of Economic Opportunity for the Texas High Speed Rail consortium TCP. We gave away two gift cards to the person who collected the most business cards. The winner was a small business APTA member. The cost to APTA was below the allocated budget. The full report is included as an attachment to this report (Attachment A) We will be hosting an SB2SB event in Louisville, KY, at the upcoming Bus and Paratransit Conference in May. NETWORKING BREAKFAST: We hosted our annual networking breakfasts in Denver at the Rail Conference from 6:45AM to 8:00AM, Mineral Hall A-C at the Hyatt hotel in downtown Denver. This event is always well attended and remains as one of the most popular events at the Rail Conference. Over 100 people, 105 to be exact, attended the event in Denver. This is consistent with the number of attendees at the Bus conference in Tampa, 101 people in total for that event. The next breakfasts will be held in Louisville, KY for Bus and Toronto for the Rail conference.

34 Our initiatives play well with one of the goals of the Diversity council. Which is stated as follows: Provide networking opportunities for minority, women, LGBT, and veteran owned businesses, including Small Businesses and DBE firms, and firms owned by people with disabilities, through activities such as, BMBG networking breakfasts and other potential activities in collaboration with COMTO and WTS. Proposed Initiatives: PHONE-A-THON: We re looking to reallocate some funds from the Database Development initiative, noted below, to a Phone-A-Thon dedicated to recruiting Small Businesses and DBEs into APTA during the Bus and Paratransit Conference scheduled for May 2019 in Louisville, KY. The goal would be to develop an attractive and focused value proposition to recruit as many SBE and DBE new members as possible over the course of 3 hours. As part of this effort, we will develop: A tailored SBE/DBE membership package, including an APTA Benefits Fact Sheet A target list of SBEs and DBEs for recruiting purposes. Business Member volunteers would come together in a conference room, calling center, to call targeted SBEs and DBEs A script for recruiting new members CONNECT WITH THE CEOS AND HEAR THEIR PERSPECTIVE: During APTA s 2019 Bus and Rail conferences facilitate a panel of transit CEOs to provide their perspective on SBE/DBE programs Target date May and June of 2019, at the Bus and/or Rail Conference. Currently working through the details with APTA and BMBG s Programs Committee. 2. Second Work Program Objective: Develop programs for small and disadvantaged business members to maximize the value of their APTA membership. SMALL BUSINESS DATABASE: As discussed at the Rail Conference in Denver and approved by the BMBG, we allocated $18,000 for the development of an SBE/DBE database. To that end, close coordination with APTA was noted as one of the key elements for the successful development of this database. Through that coordination, we learned in July that APTA had already started implementing a major overhaul and upgrade of the existing database. Therefore, we concluded the following:

35 o o o The development of a new and/or tailored database is not needed, given APTA s overhaul and upgrades of the existing database; Having said that, however, enhancements to the upgraded APTA database may be needed to meet the needs of SBEs and DBEs. Therefore, this committee will continue coordinating closely with APTA and review the new features of the upgraded database to confirm the need for any enhancements deemed as critical to the success of SBE and DBE members. Upgrades to the APTA database are ongoing and expect an update from APTA s IT Department in the next couple of months. Meanwhile, coordination between APTA and this committee is continuing to ensure the newly designed and upgraded database offers the functionality required to enhance networking and partnering between SBE/DBE members and other APTA members. We re looking to reallocate some funds from this initiative to other proposed initiatives, including the Phone-A-Thon and SB2SB at the upcoming Bus Conference scheduled for May in Kentucky. WEBINARS: Learning Zone Know the Facts about Alternative Delivery Options and the implications on SBEs and DBEs: o Provide the appropriate framework for the different alternative delivery options that exist today, including DB, DBFOM, DBOM, CMAR, etc., and discuss how each delivery method affects SBEs and DBEs. Discussion would concentrate around sensitive issues such as insurance requirements, bonding, liability, sweat-equity, among others. o Intend to gather a technical panel, including subject-matter experts, for the discussion (i.e., contractors, engineers, owners and small business representatives). o Target date May-June o Intend to reallocate funds from the Database Development initiative, as deemed appropriate and approved by the Board, for the successful implementation of this event Using APTA s tools for Connecting with Prime contractors: o Provide a comprehensive discussion about using APTA s tools to connect SBEs/DBEs with prime contractors, including major A/E firms as well as Contractors. o Intend to work with Adam to engage APTA staff to present all the tools as the newly upgraded database goes live by the end of the calendar year or beginning of o Target date May-June 2019

36 o Intend to reallocate funds from the Database Development initiative, as deemed appropriate and approved by the Board, for printing and other related items. 3. Third Work Program Objective: Assist APTA SBE/DBE members in the understanding of federal, state, and local policy changes that affect small and disadvantaged business members, such as certification, prompt payment, and sustainability issues. Continue to review all policy changes that may affect small business. We will strive to collaborate with the committee on DBE procurement. Small Business Legislative Agenda: The goal of this initiative is to develop a Legislative Agenda/Outline based on those issues directly affecting small businesses across the nation. APTA has a clear and defined set of legislative priorities based on the needs of the transportation industry including both public and private sectors. This effort is intended to complement and reinforce that agenda by bringing specific attention to those critical issues affecting APTA Business Members across the country and provide the appropriate framework to facilitate much needed dialogue with state, local and federal representatives as well as other APTA member agencies. We have identified Entrepreneurship as the core message for this initiative. To that end, we intend to develop an agenda highlighting ways in which elected officials can support entrepreneurship in the small business community by enacting the right policies at the federal, state and local levels, including the streamlining of existing regulations, creation and reinforcement of incentive programs to encourage small business participation in key market segments of the transit industry (i.e., technology) and expansion of set aside minority programs. Agenda will be completed in time for the upcoming Legislative Conference in Washington, DC.
