CREDIT TOWARDS GOALS. (a) Only work performed by DBE firms certified to work in the state of Texas by the six (6) Texas Unified Certifica- tion Program (TUCP) recognized agencies listed in Section 6 herein, will count towards the overall contract goal. Out- of-state entities must register for certification through the Texas Department of Transportation to be deemed eligible to participate in Authority contracts in such capacities and receive credit for work performed.
CREDIT TOWARDS GOALS. (a) No credit toward meeting DBE goals will be allowed unless the DBE is determined to be eligible by the Author- xxx’s Office of Diversity. The contractor is strongly encouraged to contact the Authority's Office of Diversity well in advance of the date set for submission of offers in order to enable review of the proposed DBEs eligibility to participate in the Authority's DBE Program. The dollar value of work performed under a contract with a firm after it has ceased to be certified cannot count toward a contract goal. Participation of a DBE subcontractor cannot count toward the contractor's DBE achievements until the amount being counted has been paid to the DBE.
