About this file

This is a Request for Substitution/Exemption form issued by the City of Phoenix Public Transit Department for use in managing Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) subcontractor changes on transit contracts. The form enables prime contractors to request approval for releasing, substituting, or modifying the scope of work or proposed amounts for DBE subcontractors. Contractors must submit requests to the Public Transit Department Compliance Section (ptdcompliance@phoenix.gov) prior to implementing any changes to their DBE utilization statement. The form requires the authorized representative of the prime contractor to document the request type, provide a summary of good faith efforts made to secure additional DBE participation, and obtain written approval from the Contract Compliance Specialist before proceeding. Upon approval, the compliance section revises the DBE goal and utilization percentages and documents the decision with supporting exhibits including the initial Small Business Procurement Plan (SBPP), annual SBPP plan, and certification of final payment.

The form serves as a control mechanism to ensure compliance with DBE participation mandates and prevent unauthorized substitutions or scope reductions that would undermine diversity goals. Prime contractors are required to demonstrate adequate good faith efforts in seeking replacement DBE participation when requesting exemptions or substitutions. The form explicitly prohibits any changes to DBE utilization without prior written approval from the Compliance Section, establishing clear documentation requirements and an approval workflow that protects the integrity of DBE participation commitments on City of Phoenix contracts.
