RE: FY 2022 Annual Report Supplier Diversity – Affirmative Marketing Program for Design &
Construction, Workforce Reporting and VBE Reporting
Dear Secretary Gorzkowicz:
Attached please find the FY 2022 report for the Division of Capital Asset Management and
Maintenance’s (DCAMM) construction and design MBE/WBE business participation, VBE business
participation and minority and women workforce participation.
MBE/WBE Business Participation in Design and Construction Contracts
Program Goals
The Commonwealth’s enhanced AMP Program (“AMP 2020”) took effect for construction and design
projects advertised after July 1, 2020. Under this new program DCAMM set new, higher overall annual
MBE and WBE participation target goals. AMP 2020 made other important changes to the AMP
Program. It created separate goals for minority and women owned firms, rather than combined goals
from the previous plan. It also established a methodology for setting project specific goals based on
data from DCAMM’s most recent statewide disparity study issued in 2017, factoring in project-specific
considerations, including scope, size, and availability of subcontracting opportunities.
DCAMM’s overall annual program target goals under AMP 2020 are 4.2% MBE and 8.8% WBE for
construction spending and 6.6% MBE and 15% WBE for design spending. These apply to projects
advertised on or after July 1, 2020 and these projects are designated as “AMP 2020” in this report.
Projects advertised before this date continued with the combined goals from the previous AMP of
10.4% for construction contracts and 17.9% for design contracts and are referred to as “Legacy”
projects in this report.
Project Results
DCAMM reports on both design and construction payments and design and construction awards.
In FY 2022, a large majority (about 80%) of construction payments and two-thirds (about 67%) of
designer payments were made on Legacy projects. Overall, $41.4 million was paid to MBE and WBE
firms, and all the annual program goals were met. For AMP 2020 projects, which comprise only 20% of
construction and about one‐third of design payments, MBE and WBE payments totaled nearly $12.8
million. DCAMM’s overall annual program targets for MBE construction payments and WBE design
payments were significantly exceeded, while WBE construction payments and MBE design payments
were less than 1% below targets.
All contract awards in FY 2022 were for projects advertised on or after July 1, 2020 and are therefore
under the AMP 2020 program. The overall program targets were exceeded for both MBE and WBE firms
in both design and construction contracts.
Veteran Business Enterprise and Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Business Enterprise Participation
Program Goals
The Commonwealth’s established goal is 3% for design and 3% for construction.
Project Results
In FY 2022, DCAMM significantly exceeded the established benchmark for VBEs in construction, with
4.9% of construction spending attributed to these firms. There were no payments made to SDO certified
VBE design firms.
Minority and Women Workforce Participation in Construction and Design
Program Goals
The Commonwealth’s established goals for construction workforce participation are 15.3% for
minorities and 6.9% for women. DCAMM reports on annual worker hours and “cumulative to date”
hours on projects underway, which is a more complete reflection of performance under the goals.
Project Results: Construction and Design Workforce
In FY 2022, contractor‐reported construction worker hours totaled over 874,000 hours. “Cumulative to
date” reported hours for all workers on these same projects total nearly 1.7 million. Both the current
year (FY 2022) and cumulative project to date minority workforce hours exceeded 24% ‐ far above the
overall 15.3% program benchmark. FY 2022 reported hours for women in construction totaled nearly
29,000, with the cumulative project to date total of approximately 52,000 hours, resulting in reported
hours for women above 3% in both cases, but short of the benchmark of 6.9%. DCAMM will continue to
work with industry groups, individual contractors, and the construction trades to expand participation of
women on DCAMM projects as more women move into the construction trades.
There are no established benchmarks for designer workforce participation on DCAMM projects;
however, the participation of minorities and women as a portion of the total workforce providing design
services is tracked. Reporting requirements on design contracts extend only to the Prime Consultant on
the project. Women continue to comprise a much larger portion of the designer workforce than their
female counterparts in the construction trades. The FY 2022 designer workforce data shows over 40%
of reported hours worked by women on both an annual and cumulative to date basis, while minority
hours totaled just over 30% of reported design hours.
DCAMM continues its ongoing efforts to make working with the agency easier while expanding
opportunities for minorities and women to participate in DCAMM projects, both as workforce
participants and as business owners. These initiatives include extensive strategic outreach,
communication, and training initiatives to expand the pool of MBE, WBE, and VBE firms and to raise
awareness of upcoming opportunities to participate in DCAMM projects as either prime or
subcontractor. DCAMM is also working to launch a new disparity study during calendar year 2023.
The attached report provides additional details about these initiatives and DCAMM’s Affirmative
Marketing Program, including detailed backup reports for payments, awards, and workforce tracking for
FY 2022.

Carol W. Gladstone

Introduction and Overview of Report Methodology

 I. INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW OF METHODOLOGY
This report summarizes performance against program goals under the Division of Capital Asset Management
and Maintenance’s (DCAMM) FY 2022 Affirmative Marketing Program (AMP) for Design and Construction, as
well as workforce utilization data compiled for FY 2022 from firms working on DCAMM construction and
design projects. It also includes Veteran Business Enterprise (VBE) and Service-Disabled Veteran Owned
Business Enterprise (SDVOBE) participation, which for purposes of this report are collectively referenced as
VBEs, on DCAMM construction and design projects.
DCAMM’s program to expand access and opportunity for Minority and Women-owned (MBE/WBE)
construction and design firms spans over three decades. Massachusetts General Law Chapter 7C, §6 and its
predecessor legislation originally established programs first for MBE firms, then later adding WBE firms. The
early program focused exclusively on construction projects and later expanded to design services and
workforce reporting.
In addition to Chapter 7C, §6, Chapter 149, §44A(2)(G), along with A&F Administrative Bulletins 14 and 17A as
well as related laws, executive orders and ANF bulletins establish current MBE/WBE business participation and
workforce data collection and reporting requirements and set workforce participation benchmarks on
DCAMM and other state agency and state-funded construction contracts. Executive Order 565 establishes
tracking and reporting of Veteran Business Enterprises (VBE) and Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Business
Enterprise (SDVOBE) contract expenditures.
II. METHODOLOGY: DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION ANNUAL PROGRAM GOALS
DCAMM established its overall annual program goals/targets across all spending and on individual DCAMM
projects. DCAMM establishes the project specific MBE/WBE participation goals for each design and
construction project based on the statewide disparity study. Among other things, the disparity study
determined the availability of MBE/WBE firms and the extent to which the design and construction
marketplace has limited opportunities for these firms.
The following are the overall annual program goals in place during FY 2022 applicable across DCAMM’s overall
annual spending for projects advertised prior to July 1, 2020. For purposes of this report, projects tracked
under the predecessor (combined goal) program are referred to as “Legacy” Projects.
The program performance for Legacy projects is calculated as follows:
Total Contractor Payments to MBE/WBEs = 10.4% combined MBE/WBE DCAMM Participation
Total Contractor Payments All Firms
Total Design Payments to MBE/WBEs = 17.9% combined MBE/WBE DCAMM Participation
Total Design Payments to All Firms
The following are the overall annual program target goals, applicable across DCAMM’s overall annual spending
for projects advertised on or after July 1, 2020 (“AMP 2020” Projects).
2
The program performance under AMP 2020 projects is calculated as follows:
Total Contractor Payments to MBE = 4.2% MBE DCAMM Participation
Total Contractor Payments All Firms
Total Design Payments to MBE = 6.6% MBE DCAMM Participation
Total Design Payments to All Firms
Total Contractor Payments to WBEs = 8.8% WBE DCAMM Participation
Total Contractor Payments All Firms
Total Design Payments to WBEs = 15.0% WBE DCAMM Participation
Total Design Payments to All Firms
Performance reported here is based on these calculated ratios across DCAMM’s project portfolio. FY 2022
spending and awards data were drawn from a combination of MMARS (the state’s accounting system) and
dedicated in-house data sources used to track compliance with project MBE/WBE goals and the Veterans
benchmarks (currently at 3% for design and 3% for construction).
This report provides two payment summary tables – one with payment data for Legacy projects (Table 1.1),
and one for AMP 2020 projects (Table 1.2). Corresponding detailed backup reports are also provided in the
appendix. All project awards in FY 2022 were made under the AMP 2020 program. These are reported under
a single summary table (Table 2) and associated backup reports.
Both the Legacy and AMP 2020 programs feature individual participation goals established for each project.
Across both programs, goals may be reduced or waived by DCAMM on an individual project prior to bidding
based on scope of work, project size, limited subcontracting opportunities, and other relevant factors.
III. OVERVIEW OF RESULTS: DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM GOALS
The construction and design projects reported here contain a mix of both DCAMM Legacy and AMP 2020 projects.
Payment results are split out accordingly in this report – showing separate results for Legacy and AMP 2020
projects. All awards in FY 2022 were made under the AMP 2020 program.
Tables 1.1, 1.2 (payments) and Table 2 (awards) summarize overall annual results for FY 2022.
Payment Results Overview
Tables 1.1 and 1.2, which appear in the next section of the report, summarize DCAMM’s overall annual program
results for FY 2022. Project by project details are provided in the Appendix.
Legacy projects
Still account for approximately 80% of construction payments and 67% of design payments to all firms in FY
2022.
Under Legacy projects, FY 2022 payments to MBE and WBE firms totaled $41.4 million for construction and
design services.
FY 2022 payment results for Legacy projects all significantly exceeded program goals for both design and
construction.
3
 AMP 2020 projects
AMP 2020 projects account for only 20% of total construction payments and 33% of total design payments
in FY2022.
Under AMP 2020 projects, FY 2022 payments to MBE and WBE firms totaled $12.8 million for construction
and design services.
The AMP 2020 payment target goals were significantly exceeded for MBEs in construction and WBEs in
design. WBE construction and MBE design payments were just below overall program target goals.
In addition, veteran-owned businesses received over $13.9 million in construction payments, representing nearly
5% of total construction payments to all firms (exceeding the program construction benchmark of 3%).
Awards Results Overview
Table 2 in the next section of this report summarizes awards. All awards in FY 2022 were made under the AMP 2020
program. MBE and WBE firms were awarded nearly $30 million in design and construction contracts during FY 2022.
This award amount includes projections based on signed contract obligations for CM at Risk and a subset of c. 25A
energy projects. The projects are awarded in phases and have not been fully awarded at the time of this report.
For FY 2022, all award program target goals were exceeded for MBE/WBEs in both design and construction.
IV. METHODOLOGY: CONSTRUCTION AND DESIGN WORKFORCE BENCHMARKS
TRACKING CONSTRUCTION WORKFORCE PARTICIPATION
ANF Administrative Bulletin #14 establishes the following workforce participation benchmarks on state
construction contracts:
Number of Hours Worked by Minority Employees 15.3%
Total Number of Hours Worked by All Employees
Number of Hours Worked by Female Employees 6.9%
Total Number of Hours Worked by All Employees
The construction workforce benchmark calculations are provided in two ways in this report. We first calculate
the share of minority and women workforce hours based on just those hours reported during FY 2022.
Second, we calculate the total cumulative hours reported from the inception of those same projects.
TRACKING DESIGNER WORKFORCE PARTICIPATION
It’s important to note that there are no established benchmarks for designer workforce participation on
DCAMM projects; however, the participation of minorities and women as a portion of the total workforce
providing design services are tracked. Reporting requirements on design contracts extend only to the Prime
Consultant on the project, whereas construction workforce reporting extends from the general
contractor/prime through the lowest tiered subcontractor with labor onsite.
