DBE Crediting Provisions. Credit for DBE participation is determined according to the following provisions: When a DBE is proposed to participate in the Contract, either as a prime Contractor or subcontractor, only the value of the work proposed to be performed by the DBE with its own forces may be counted toward DBE participation. If the Contractor is a DBE joint venture participant, only the DBE proportionate interest in the joint venture shall be counted. If a DBE intends to subcontract part of the work of its subcontract to a lower tier subcontractor, the value of the subcontracted work may be counted toward DBE participation only if the DBE subcontractor is a certified DBE and actually performs the work with its own forces. Services subcontracted to a non-DBE firm may not be credited toward the prime Contractor’s DBE attainment. Contractor is to calculate and credit participation by eligible DBE vendors of equipment, materials, and suppliers toward DBE attainment, as follows:
1. Sixty percent (60%) of expenditure(s) for equipment, materials, and supplies required under the Contract, obtained from a regular dealer; or
2. One hundred percent (100%) of expenditure(s) for equipment, materials, and supplies required under the Contract, obtained from a DBE manufacturer. The following types of fees or commissions paid to DBE subcontractors, brokers, and packagers may be credited toward DBE attainment, provided that the fee or commission is reasonable, and not excessive, as compared with fees or commissions customarily allowed for similar work, including:
1. Fees and commissions charged for providing bona fide professional or technical services, or procurement of essential personnel, facilities, equipment, materials, or supplies required in the performance of the Contract;
2. Fees charged for delivery of material and supplies (excluding the cost of materials or supplies themselves) when the licensed hauler, trucker, or delivery service is not also the manufacturer of, or a regular dealer in, the material and supplies;
3. Fees and commissions charged for providing any insurance specifically required in the performance of the Contract. Contractor may count the participation of DBE trucking companies toward DBE attainment, as follows:
1. The DBE must be responsible for the management and supervision of the entire trucking operation for which it is responsible on a particular Contract.

The DBE who leases trucks from a non-DBE is entitled to credit only for the fee or commission it receives as a result of the lease arrangement.
