About this file

This is a Request for Substitution/Exemption form issued by the City of Phoenix Public Transit Department for managing Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation on public transit contracts. The form provides a standardized process for prime contractors to request approval for changes to their proposed DBE utilization, including releasing proposed DBE subcontractors, substituting DBE subcontractors, modifying the scope of work assigned to DBE firms, or reducing the dollar amount allocated to DBE subcontractors. All requests must be submitted to the City's Compliance Section prior to implementation, and contractors must document good faith efforts in sourcing additional DBE participation. The form requires authorization from a duly authorized representative of the prime contractor and includes fields for project identification, affected DBE subcontractor information, scope of work details, and the specific exemption being requested. Upon submission, the Contract Compliance Section reviews the request and indicates approval status, revised DBE goals, and revised DBE utilization percentages.

The form serves as a critical compliance tool within the City of Phoenix's DBE program framework, which is integral to the broader procurement requirements for the Parks and Recreation Event-Related Services contract opportunity. This five-year contract, commencing February 1, 2026, mandates that all vendors establish a Small Business Participation Plan with documented DBE involvement and submit monthly reports of DBE expenditures through the City's Certification and Compliance System. The substitution/exemption process ensures oversight of DBE commitments and prevents unilateral contractor actions that would undermine small business participation goals. Contractors must maintain compliance documentation throughout the contract term, with any modifications subject to the Contract Compliance Specialist's written approval.
