DBE CONTRACT GOALS Sample Clauses

DBE CONTRACT GOALS. In connection with this solicitation and any resulting contract, SEPTA has established the following goal for Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation. The DBE goal shall apply to all change orders and amendments.

DBE CONTRACT GOALS. A. KDOT strongly encourages all contractors to utilize DBE firms as subcontractors, suppliers, manufacturers, truckers, and brokers whenever possible and feasible. Greater voluntary participation will result in lower and fewer DBE contract goals. KDOT will set DBE contract goals only to meet the portion of its annual goal that is not met by race and gender neutral means and voluntary participation. B. An eligible DBE is one who KDOT has certified and who is listed in the KDOT DBE directory located on the internet at: ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/doingbusiness.asp. KDOT also prints a paper directory quarterly, and Contractors may ask the KDOT Office of Civil Rights for a copy of the printed directory. However, as it is only published quarterly, Contractors should be aware that the printed directory may list DBE’s who were decertified after the directory was printed, and these DBE’s would not be considered eligible DBE’s in a letting that followed decertification or when examining good faith efforts. Also, the printed directory will not list DBE’s who have been certified after the directory was printed, but KDOT will consider these DBE’s in a letting and when examining good faith efforts. Thus, the electronic directory controls as it is the most current information KDOT has available. Any bid proposal listing a firm that is not a KDOT certified DBE at the time of bidding will be considered nonresponsive. C. Contractors shall, as a minimum, seek DBE firms working in the same geographic area in which they seek subcontractors for a given solicitation. D. Contractors are required to make good faith efforts to replace a DBE subcontractor that is unable to perform successfully with another DBE firm. In order to ensure compliance with this requirement, any substitution of DBE subcontractors after the Contractor has submitted a bid to KDOT, must be approved by KDOT Office of Civil Rights. Substitutions will only be allowed for good and sufficient reasons. KDOT must receive a letter from the original DBE stating the reason for the DBE’s inability to perform. E. Contractors are also encouraged to use the services of banks owned and controlled by disadvantaged individuals. F. When projects are State or Contractor tied, KDOT will construe DBE participation as if the tied projects are one project. To check DBE participation on tied projects the following method will be used:

DBE CONTRACT GOALS. If the project governed by the Agreement includes a DBE contract goal, SUB-RECIPIENT understands and agrees that it is required to strictly adhere to the requirements of 49 CFR Part 26 in its efforts to achieve the DBE contract goal.

DBE CONTRACT GOALS. It is the policy of the City of Rapid City that equal opportunity to participate in its procedures will be provided to DBE's. To accomplish this objective, the City of Rapid City requires the contractor to assert a good-faith effort to attain the specified goals for DBE participation. The amount of DBE participation will be determined by the dollar value of the work subcontracted to DBE's (as compared to the total value of all work performed under this contract) and/or by the percentage of the net profit which the parties agree will be shared by DBE's where a joint venture is entered into for the completion of the project. A contractor may satisfy the requirements by having DBE status, by subcontracting portions of the work to DBE's, and/or by entering into a joint venture with DBE's. The City of Rapid City has specified a DBE goal of 0 percent for the work to be performed under this contract. During the performance of this contract, the contractor, for itself, its assignees and successors in interest (hereinafter referred to as the "contractor") agrees as follows:

DBE CONTRACT GOALS. In connection with this solicitation and any resulting contract, SEPTA has not established a goal for Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation.
