Report
Summary
As a large hub primary airport, Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) is required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to have an Airport Concession Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (ACDBE) program to ensure PHX concessionaires meet federal compliance requirements and abide by the City's employee retention requirements. The City is required to submit its ACDBE program and overall goals to the FAA every three years as a condition of eligibility for FAA financial assistance. To develop triennial ACDBE goals, the City requires contractors to evaluate and develop goals based on the analysis of available opportunities and qualified ACDBE companies available to participate. Development of the triennial goal includes gathering comparative data from similar projects, cooperation with FAA civil rights officers, and organizing stakeholder participation meetings.
