Overall Goals. In accordance with Section 26.45(0 TxDOT will submit its overall goal to DOT on August 1 of each year. Before establishing the overall goal each year, TxDOT will consult with women’s and general contractor groups, community organizations, and other officials or organizations which could be expected to have information concerning the availability of disadvantaged and non- disadvantaged businesses to obtain information concerning the availability of disadvantaged and non-disadvantaged businesses, the effects of discrimination on opportunities for DBEs, and TxDOT’s efforts to establish a level playing field for the participation of DBEs. Following this consultation, we will publish a notice of the proposed overall goals, informing the public that the proposed goal and its rationale are available for inspection during normal business hours at our principal office for 30 days following the date of the notice, and informing the public that TxDOT will accept comments on the goals for 45 days from the date of the notice. The notice is published on TxDOT’s website, newsletter, newspapers, available minority- focus media, and trade publications. Normally, we will issue this notice by June 25th of each year. The notice must include addresses to which comments may be sent and addresses (including offices and websites) where the proposal may be reviewed. Our overall goal submission to DOT will include a summary of information and comments received during this public participation process and our responses. We will begin using our overall goal on October 1 of each year, unless we have received other instructions from DOT. If we establish a goal on a project basis, we will begin using our goal by the time of the first solicitation for a DOT-assisted contract.
