The Raleigh-Durham Airport Authority, as a recipient of federal funding, is obligated to develop contract participation goals for Airport Concessions Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (ACDBEs) on a triennial basis. It has just proposed its ACDBE participation goals for fiscal years 2021 through 2023, and is beginning a period of soliciting public comment on the goal.
The ACDBE goal for the aforementioned period, for non-car-rental ACDBEs, is 29.3 percent. The ACDBE goal for car rental businesses is 1.7 percent. The non-car-rental goal is projected to be met entirely by means of race-conscous measures; the car rental goal is projected to be met by means of receiving 1.5 percent through race-neutral measures and the remaining 0.2 percent through race-conscious measures.
The methodology used in developing the goal is available for inspection online and at the administrative offices of the Raleigh-Durham International Airport, 1000 Trade Drive, PO Box 80001, RDU Airport, NC 27623 during normal business hours until November 24, 2020. The Authority will receive and consider public comments on the proposed goals until December 9, 2020. Comments may be submitted to the Authority at the above address. For additional information and questions, please contact Thiané Carter, thiane.carter@rdu.com.
In addition to the normal comment period, RDU will be holding a Webex virtual meeting on November 9th between 10 AM and 11 AM EST. For instructions on joining the meeting, including the codes needed to join, contact Thiané Carter at thiane.carter@rdu.com.
