The records shall show the date of payment and the total dollar figure paid to all firms. DBE prime Contractors shall also show the date of work performed by their own forces along with the corresponding dollar value of the work. B. Upon completion of the Agreement, a summary of these records shall be prepared and submitted on the form entitled, “Final Report-Utilization of Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE),” CEM-2402F (Exhibit 17-F in Chapter 17 of the LAP), certified correct by the Contractor or the Contractor’s authorized representative and shall be furnished to the Contract Manager with the final invoice. Failure to provide the summary of DBE payments with the final invoice will result in twenty-five percent (25%) of the dollar value of the invoice being withheld from payment until the form is submitted. The amount will be returned to the Contractor when a satisfactory “Final Report Utilization of Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE)” is submitted to the Contract Manager. 1) Prior to the fifteenth of each month, the Contractor shall submit documentation to the Agency’s Contract Manager showing the amount paid to DBE trucking companies. The Contractor shall also obtain and submit documentation to the Agency’s Contract Manager showing the amount paid by DBE trucking companies to all firms, including owner-operators, for the leasing of trucks. If the DBE leases trucks from a non-DBE, the Contractor may count only the fee or commission the DBE receives as a result of the lease arrangement.
