About this file

The document is a set of instructions for the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) Good Faith Effort Report (Form 1416), which provides detailed guidance for contractors on documenting efforts to include Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs) in transportation projects. The form is designed to be completed at different stages of a contract, including bid time and after project award, with sections covering project information, bid details, contract summaries, and specific efforts to achieve DBE participation.

The instructions outline comprehensive requirements for contractors to demonstrate good faith efforts in engaging DBEs, including detailing outreach methods, subcontracting opportunities, direct and indirect communication strategies, and obstacles encountered. Contractors must provide narratives and supporting documentation about their approach to meeting DBE contract goals, which typically involve a percentage of the total contract amount dedicated to DBE participation. The form requires contractors to list specific outreach activities, types of work intended for self-performance and subcontracting, and any additional efforts made to assist DBEs in competing for or obtaining contracts. CDOT project representatives will ultimately review and make a determination based on the submitted documentation.
