DBE Prime Consultant Clause Samples
The "DBE Prime Consultant" clause designates a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) as the primary consultant responsible for leading a project or contract. This clause typically outlines the requirements for the DBE to meet eligibility standards, maintain majority control, and directly manage the work, rather than serving as a subcontractor. By specifying these conditions, the clause ensures that DBEs have meaningful participation and leadership opportunities, thereby promoting diversity and compliance with government or funding agency mandates for DBE involvement.
DBE Prime Consultant. When a certified DBE firm proposes on a contract that contains a DBE goal, the DBE firm is responsible for meeting the DBE goal on the contract or making good faith efforts to meet the goal, just like any other proposer. In most cases, a DBE proposer on a contract will meet the DBE goal by virtue of the work it performs on the contract with its own forces. However, all the work that is performed by the DBE consultant or any other DBE subconsultants and DBE suppliers will count toward the DBE goal. The DBE consultant shall list itself along with any DBE subconsultants and suppliers, on the DBE Intended Participation Affidavit and Summary in order to receive credit toward the DBE goal.
