370-040-24-MBE_PLANNED_UTILIZATION.pdf

This is a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) Planned Utilization form from the State of Florida Department of Transportation for Procurement 375-040-24. The form serves as a commitment document wherein a named contractor or consultant declares their intent to subcontract a specified percentage of project costs to minority-owned businesses. The document requires identification of proposed MBE subconsultants or subcontractors along with descriptions of the services or commodities to be subcontracted. The form is designed to ensure transparency and accountability in MBE participation on state transportation projects, with contractors required to complete the percentage commitment, list participating MBE firms, and sign the document acknowledging their understanding that MBE payment certification forms must subsequently be submitted to the Department for reporting purposes.

The Planned Utilization form does not establish pricing terms, contract values, or funding amounts, as it functions solely as a commitment and tracking document. There are no set-asides, incumbents, or renewal options specified within this particular form. Rather, this document serves as a prerequisite compliance mechanism for contractors bidding on Florida Department of Transportation projects to demonstrate their commitment to minority business participation and to establish a baseline for future MBE payment reporting and verification during project execution.
