The Authority, in accordance with the provisions of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (78 Stat. 252,
42 U.S.C. 2000d to 2000d-4), 28 CFR 50.3, and 49 CFR Part 21, hereby notifies all bidders that it will

MBE/WBE/VBE/SDVOBE Participation:
The Authority is committed to helping address the disparity in the participation of minorities and women
in design. Along with the MBE/WBE/VBE/SDVOBE commitments which reflect ownership status set
forth below, the Authority's Designer Selection Panel are interested in learning about the applicant firm's
approach and commitment to diversity in its HR policy, its overall business practices and in assembling
this Project team. Firms are encouraged to be creative in assembling their teams by considering dividing
the work of a particular discipline, when appropriate, including work it would typically provide in house,
partnering, offering opportunities to qualified firms with which it or its consultants have not previously
worked or firms that may have less experience working on public projects, and other means that provide
additional opportunities for MBE/WBE/VBE/SDVOBE firms in new ways.
Applicants, as prime firm and team lead, in their application, should directly address their approach to
enhancing diversity in assembling the team for this Project, including a clear description of each working
relationship, and in their overall HR and business practices. The Authority strongly encourages teams
composed of firms that expand the overall breadth of different firms working on Authority Projects.
Applications from MBE/WBE/VBE/SDVOBE firms as prime consultant are encouraged. Applicants that
are themselves MBE/WBE/VBE/SDVOBE certified may use their participation toward meeting the
determined work order goal for the certification they hold and will be required to bring participation by
additional firm(s) that holds the necessary certifications to meet or exceed the goals assigned. Applicants
are strongly encouraged to utilize multiple disciplines and firms to meet the MBE/WBE/VBE/SDVOBE
goals. Consultants to the prime can team within their disciplines in order to meet the
MBE/WBE/VBE/SDVOBE goals, but must state this relationship.
Please note that only firms that are currently certified as MBE/WBE/VBE/SDVOBE and DBE in the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts be credited toward meeting Project MBE/WBE/VBE/SDVOBE or
DBE goals.
