Question:
can the department revisit the DBE of 20% for this project. It is difficult meeting the goal. |
|
|
Answer:
The goal will not be waived or reduced. A bidder must meet the requirements of the DBE Program to be deemed a responsive bidder [49 CFR 26.53 (a)] by either (A) meeting the DBE goal, or (B) submitting Appendix E Documentation of Good Faith Efforts Form showing that adequate efforts were made to meet the project’s DBE goal. Efforts are “adequate” if they demonstrate that the bidder showed that it took all necessary and reasonable steps to achieve DBE goal, by their scope, intensity, and appropriateness to the objective, could reasonably be expected to obtain sufficient participation, even if they were not fully successful. |
