The Surface Transportation and Assistance Act of 1982 (STAA 1982) mandated that 10% of all FHWA funds be expended with disadvantaged business enterprises (DBEs). STAA 1982 also required state highway authorities to establish an annual state DBE goal and to design and develop a fair, workable program to achieve this goal. In order to ensure executive review, STAA 1982 further stated that any request for a state goal less than 10% had to be forwarded under the governor's signature. In Indiana, the task of developing and implementing this new federal program was delegated to the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT). The first challenge for INDOT's DBE program was to figure out a method of achieving the 10% DBE goal in a state that is primarily rural with a minority population of less than 10%. The method conceived and developed was to establish a central office committee to individually review all federal-aid contracts for possible DBE participation. This Project Goal Setting Committee would set goals on individual contracts, thereby managing projected DBE participation and ensuring attainment of the state's annual 10% DBE goal.
