Parts 23 and 26 as they now exist or as they may be amended or replaced in the future. City agrees that it shall notify Concessionaire in the event that regulations are issued by the United States Department of Transportation (“DOT”) implementing Section 511(h) of the Airport and Airway Improvement Act (AAIA) of 1982, as amended. Following such notification, Concessionaire shall be required to take all necessary and reasonable steps to achieve a DBE goal, which shall the greater of thirteen percent (13%) or such other applicable DBE goal as shall be established by the DOT during the term of this Agreement or any extension thereof, and to comply with other appropriate provisions of 49 C.F.R.

DBE Participation. When a DBE subcontracts part of the work of its contract to another firm, the value of the subcontracted work may be counted toward DBE goals only if the DBE’s subcontractor is itself a DBE. Work that a DBE subcontracts to a non-DBE firm does not count toward DBE goals. Xxxxxx-Xxxx and Associates, Inc. Consultant Agreement T-30466 / 1285013_4.doc To receive credit for its participation, a DBE contractor must perform a commercially useful function on that USDOT-assisted contract. A DBE performs a commercially useful function when it is responsible for execution of the work of the contract and is carrying out its responsibilities by actually performing, managing and supervising the work involved. A DBE does not perform a commercially useful function if its role is limited to that of an extra participant in a transaction, contract or project through which funds are passed in order to obtain the appearance of DBE participation. DBE Credit Credit for materials or supplies is as follows: Credit for materials or supplies obtained from a DBE manufacturer is 100 percent of the cost of the material or supplies. Credit for materials or supplies purchased from a DBE vendor is limited to 60 percent of the cost of the materials or supplies. Credit for trucking by DBEs is as follows: The DBE must be responsible for the management and supervision of the entire trucking operation for which it is responsible on a particular contract and there cannot be a contrived arrangement for the purpose of meeting DBE goals. The DBE must itself own and operated at least one fully licensed, insured and operational truck used on the contract. The DBE receives credit for the total value of the transportation services it provides on the contract using truck it owns, insure and operating using drivers it employs. The DBE may lease trucks from another DBE firm including an owner-operator who is certified as a DBE. The DBE who leases trucks from another DBE receives credit for the total value of the transportation services the lessee DBE provides on the contract. The DBE may also lease trucks from a non-DBE firm including from an owner-operator. The DBE that leases trucks equipped with drivers from a non-DBE is entitled to credit for the total value of transportation services provided by non-DBE leased trucks equipped with drivers not to exceed the value of transportation services on the contract provided by DBE-owned trucks or leased with DBE employee drivers. Additional participation by non...
DBE Participation. The LPA receiving Federal funds must comply with ODOT’s adopted Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program and annual goals. The LPA must take affirmative steps to assure that DBE consultants are utilized when possible. Such steps include soliciting DBE firms and, when feasible, organizing the project schedule and task requirements to encourage participation by DBE firms. The consultant has the responsibility for using DBEs as subconsultants when feasible. If a DBE subconsultant is unable to perform, the consultant must make a good faith effort to replace that subconsultant with another DBE subconsultant. DBE efforts must be documented and verified. DETERMINE THE PROJECT SCHEDULE Along with services to be rendered and price, time is one of the key elements of any contract. The schedule of submittal dates and delivery of reports or final plans constitutes the time element of a consultant’s contract. The time element is very important to the success of a project. A typical consulting contract with the LPA should call for several interim submissions throughout the course of the contract. In the case of a contract for final design plans, the technical review process (similar to ODOT’s Staged Review Process) defines those interim submissions. In the case of a preliminary development project, there are also several interim reports and studies required of the consultant before the final report is due. The scheduling process begins at the pre-scope of services stage and the overall completion time is included in the announcement. The end product is an agreed upon Project Schedule.
DBE Participation. No Goal. Although there is no DBE participation goal for this Agreement, CONSULTANT is encouraged to take all steps necessary to provide an equal opportunity for DBEs to participate.
DBE Participation. DBE participation includes contracts (other than employee contracts) between DBEs and the CONSULTANT for any goods or services specifically required for the completion of the work under the Agreement. Only the work actually performed by a DBE’s own forces will be counted toward DBE participation. The cost of supplies and materials obtained by the DBE or equipment leased (except from the CONSULTANT or its affiliate) may also be counted. A DBE may participate as a CONSULTANT, first-tier subconsultant, joint venture partner with a CONSULTANT or first-tier subconsultant, vendor of material or supplies incorporated or expended in the work, or a supplier of other services such as shipping, transportation, testing, equipment rental, insurance services and other support services necessary to fulfill the requirements of this Agreement provided that such vendor or supplier contracts directly with the CONSULTANT. A DBE may be a subconsultant on more than one Agreement. Work that a DBE subcontracts to a non- DBE firm does not count toward DBE participation. The CONSULTANT assumes responsibility for accurately identifying the first-tier status of the DBE firms proposed.
DBE Participation. MUNI strongly encourages the prime consultant to make every good faith effort to include DBEs to perform meaningful work in all aspects of the project. To accomplish these efforts, the following guidance is provided:
