The current ordinance is insufficient for a city the size of Augusta Georgia. Background: Analysis: Financial Impact: Alternatives: Recommendation: Funds are Available in the Following Accounts: REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY: Cover Memo Item # 2 Local Small Business Opportunity Program Ordinance Revision (Ordinance 7271) Item # 2 Attachment number 1 \nPage 1 Three Reasons the Ordinance Needs to be Revised: 1. Geographic & size expansion needed. 2. Lacks appropriate protests, appeals, and remedies section. (Issue discussed 9/18/18 Commission Meeting with previous compliance director & Comm. Hasan, per that conversation issue had been identified 1.5 years ago= appx March 2017) 3. Lacks contract compliance process. Item # 2 Attachment number 1 \nPage 2 Geographic & size expansion needed § Current Geographic and Size Limits are too restrictive. § Current Geographic Limit: Augusta, Richmond County § Suggested Geographic Limit: Richmond County, Columbia County, Aiken County, and Burke County § Current Size Limit: 1.5 million in annual receipts, $750,000 personal net worth § Suggested Size Limit: adopt federal Small Business Administration size guidelines CFR 13 Part 121 (attached in your packets), personal net worth will remain $750,000 Item # 2 Attachment number 1 \nPage 3 Augusta’s LSBOP Top NAICS codes 1. 561730- Landscaping (14 certified businesses)- Size Standard per SBA: $8million- Augusta, appx. 8 times less=(pg.25) 2. 237310- Highway, Street, Bridge Construction (8 certified businesses) Size Standard per SBA: $39.5million- Augusta, appx. 39 times less=(pg.13) 3. 238990- Other Specialty Trades (8 certified businesses) Size Standard per SBA: $16.5million-Augusta, appx. 16 times less=(pg.14) Item # 2 Attachment number 1 \nPage 4 Other Jurisdictions Size Limits Atlanta Savannah Follows SBA Size Standards Limits Small Business program to 3 categories: Construction Memphis (2nd largest city Services ($5 million); Contract in Tennessee) Services ($1 million); and Professional Services Follows SBA Size Standards ($500,000). Can’t exceed 25 employees Item # 2 Attachment number 1 \nPage 5 Lacks appropriate protests, appeals, and remedies section Ordinance defines expected behavior, but only provides a process to follow when local small businesses are denied registration. A process is needed for the other (3) major areas where possible compliance violations may occur (1. Responsive or Non-responsive bidder pre- award; 2. Contract Compliance post-award; and 3. Prompt payment provision for subcontractors to protest untimely payments). Item # 2 Attachment number 1 \nPage 6 Lacks a Responsive/Non-Responsive Bidder Pre Award Compliance/Post Award Contract Compliance Process and Prompt Payment Provision process Not having a formal contract compliance monitoring section that clearly defines administrative remedies and procedures in the LSBOP Ordinance leaves only breach of contract as a remedy=no enforcement power! Item # 2 Attachment number 1 \nPage 7 Expansion will Hurt Small Businesses Not True! 1. Expanding the LSBOP will create opportunities to set goals on projects that we could not set goals on before. 2. Having larger and diverse companies in the program will allow for mentoring opportunities for smaller/less developed companies. 3. Capacity building/matching with unskilled labor and companies can take place to grow the workforce and small businesses. 4. Expanding the LSBOP will aid Augusta Georgia’s major user departments to have ready, willing, and able subcontractors for their projects (specifically Engineering, Central Services , and Utilities).
