The Department encourages DBE firms to compete for Department contractual services projects, and also https://flvendor.myfloridacfo.com/ mailto:FLW9@myfloridacfo.com https://vendor.myfloridamarketplace.com/ mailto:Christine.sims@dot.state.fl.us encourages non-DBE and other minority contractors to use DBE firms as sub-contractors.

The Department shall require its contractors, suppliers, and consultants to not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, gender, age, or disability in the award and performance of its contracts.

Federal law requires states to maintain a database of all firms that are participating or attempting to participate in DOT-assisted contracts. To assist the Department in this endeavor, proposers are requested to submit the Bidder’s Opportunity List with their Price Proposal Sheet. The list should include yourself as well as any prospective sub-contractor that you contacted or who has contacted you regarding the project.

During the contract period, the Vendor will be required to report actual payments to DBE and MBE subcontractors through the web-based EOC system. All DBE payments must be reported whether or not you initially planned to utilize the company. In order for our race neutral DBE Program to be successful, your cooperation is imperative. If you have any questions, please contact EOOHelp@dot.state.fl.us .

Additional information about the EOC system can be found on the Equal Opportunity Office (EOO) website at https://www.fdot.gov/equalopportunity/default.shtml.
