11-4. DBE Program Form.docx

This is a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program Form List of Subcontractors submitted to the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) in connection with a Financial Auditing Services contract opportunity for a North Carolina city. The form requires bidders to document their commitment to DBE and non-DBE subcontractor and supplier utilization in compliance with the Federal Disadvantaged Business Opportunity Program. Bidders must complete the form by identifying each subcontractor or supplier, providing their name and address, contact person, firm age, description of work, NAICS code, NCDOT reporting number, total projected cost, and percentage of bid amount. The form includes rows for multiple subcontractors and requires bidders to indicate the annual gross receipts category for each firm, with options ranging from less than $500,000 to over $5 million.

If a bidder fails to meet the DBE utilization goal established for the project, documentation of the company's good faith efforts must be attached to the proposal. This form is mandatory and must be submitted with all bids. The form serves as the mechanism through which prime contractors demonstrate their subcontracting strategy and commitment to involving disadvantaged business enterprises in the performance of the contract work, as required by federal transportation funding regulations.
