Post-Award Relief From DBE Requirements. After Contract award, the City will not grant relief from the proposed ACDBE, DBE or Small Business utilization except in extraordinary circumstances. The Successful Respondent’s request to modify ACDBE, DBE or Small Business participation must be in writing to the Compliance Specialist, who has final discretion and authority to determine if the request should be granted. The Successful Respondent’s waiver request must contain the amount of relief being sought, evidence demonstrating why the relief is necessary, and any additional relevant information the Compliance Specialist should consider. The Successful Respondent shall include with the request all documentation of its attempts to subcontract with the ACDBE, DBE or Small Business and any other action taken to locate and solicit a replacement ACDBE, DBE or Small Business. If an approved ACDBE or DBE allows its ACDBE or DBE status to expire or its ACDBE or DBE certification is removed during the course of the subcontract, the City will consider all work performed by the ACDBE or DBE under the original contract to count as ACDBE or DBE participation. No increased scopes of work negotiated after expiration or revocation of the ACDBE’s or DBE’s certification may be counted. Likewise, any work performed under a contract extension granted by the City may not be counted as ACDBE or DBE participation.
