  1. LPA and the DBE Program Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Casper March 31, 2014

  2. What is the purpose of the DBE Program? The program is intended to ensure nondiscrimination in the award and administration of DOT-assisted contracts To create a “level playing field” for minority and women owned companies

  3. When to use a DBE company and what can they do? DBE companies must be solicited in every federal aid contract that is funded through FHWA funds DBE’s are certified in many categories of work

  4. DBE solicitation Documented solicitation of DBE contact should be completed on the E-91-LPA form DBE’s should be contacted for any subcontracting opportunities that are available on the project If there are no opportunities or the contractor is not subcontracting work the “do not intend to subcontract” box should be checked

  5. DBE Directories The DBE directories are located on our webpage They are listed both Alphabetically and by Work Code To get there from the WYDOT home page: Business with WYDOT Contractors Disadvantaged Business Enterprise http://www.dot.state.wy.us/wydot/business_with_wydot/contractors/Disadvantaged_Business_Enterprise

  6. When a DBE is selected A DBE 2 form must be completed for every DBE selected on the project This is showing an official commitment to the DBE for the work they will be doing These forms should be reported to the LPA/DBE office for tracking of DBE Participation

  7. Commercially Useful Function When the DBE is on the project the agency will need to verify they are doing the work they were contracted to do The DBE 1 form is provided for this documentation and should be housed in the project file for review

  8. Payment To DBE’s Payments to DBE’s should be made in a timely fashion Once final payment is made, total payment information should be forwarded to the LPA/DBE office The DBE3 form is provided for this documentation
