DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE (DBE) REQUIREMENTS. MaineDOT has established an annual Disadvantaged Business Enterprise goal to be achieved through race neutral means. This goal shall adjust periodically and shall be provided by Supplemental Provision. Unless otherwise specifically provided in the Contract, there are no specific percentage requirements for use of DBEs for individual construction contracts. The Consultant shall comply with all provisions of this section regarding DBE participation and MaineDOT’s latest version of the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program Manual, said Manual being incorporated herein by reference. In the case of conflict between this Contract and said Manual, this Contract shall control. MaineDOT reserves the right to adjust DBE goals on a project-by-project basis by addendum. DBE Program Requirements Policy: It is MaineDOT’s policy that DBEs as defined in 49 CFR Part 26 revised 2014, and referenced in the Transportation Equity Act for 21st Century of 1998, as amended from the Surface Transportation Uniform Relocation Assistance Act of 1987, and the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991. The intent hereto remains to provide the maximum opportunity for DBEs to participate in the performance of contracts financed in whole or in part with federal funds. MaineDOT and its Consultant shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, ancestry, sex, age, sexual orientation or disability in the award and performance of DOT assisted contracts. Disadvantaged Business Enterprises are those so certified by the Maine Department of Transportation’s Civil Rights Office prior to bid opening date. Substitutions of DBEs: The following may be acceptable reasons for Civil Rights Office approval of such a change order: The DBE defaults, voluntarily removes itself or is over-extended; MaineDOT deletes portions of the work to be performed by the DBE. It is not intended that the ability to negotiate a more advantageous contract with another certified DBE be considered a valid basis for such a change in DBE utilization once the DBE has signed a contract. Any requests to alter the DBE commitment must be in writing to MaineDOT's Civil Rights Office. Failure to carry out terms of this Standard Specification shall be treated as a violation of this contract and shall result in contract sanctions which may affect the ability of the Consultant to obtain Department contracts.

DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE (DBE) REQUIREMENTS. The Manager or subcontractor shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the performance of this agreement. The Manager shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 CFR Part 26 in the award and administration of DOT-assisted contracts. Failure by the Manager to carry out these requirements is a material breach of this Agreement, which may result in the termination of this Agreement or such other remedy as the TJPA deems appropriate. Pursuant to the monitoring requirements outlined in Section XIII of the TJPA’s DBE Program (49 CFR 26.37), the Manager will be required to update and submit the TJPA’s “Bidders/Proposers Information Request Form,” regardless of DBE participation. Upon award of the contract, the Manager shall submit the TJPA’s “Progress Payment Report” with every invoice, the “Subcontractor Payment Declaration” within five days of each payment by Manager to a subcontractor, and a “Final Expenditure Report” with the completion of the contract.
DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE (DBE) REQUIREMENTS. The contractor or subcontractor shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the performance of this contract. The contractor shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 CFR Part 26 in the award and administration of DOT assisted contracts. Failure by the contractor to carry out these requirements is a material breach of this contract, which may result in the termination of this contract or such other remedy as the recipient deems appropriate. The (prime) contractor shall not terminate a DBE subcontractor for convenience and then perform that work with its own forces or its affiliate. Prime contractors must make payment to subcontractors for satisfactory performance of their contracts no later than 30 days from the receipt of each payment made by the Commission to the prime contractor. If retainage is withheld by from the subcontractor, prompt and full payment must be made by the prime contractor to the subcontractor within 30 days after the subcontractor’s work is satisfactorily completed. A subcontractor’s work is satisfactorily completed when all the tasks called for in the subcontract have been accomplished and documented as required by the Commission. When the Commission has made an incremental acceptance of a portion of a prime contract or a progress payment, the work of a subcontractor covered by that acceptance is deemed to be satisfactorily completed. Any delay or postponement of payment to subcontractors may only take place for good cause. Any such delay or postponement requires the prior written approval of the Commission. If any of these conditions are not met, the Commission reserves the right to withhold payment until the Commission is satisfied that these conditions are met. The contractor agrees to place this clause in all subcontracts.
