This is a Scope of Work exhibit document for the Odessa Area Office Renovation project in Texas. The document outlines the designated Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBA) utilization requirements and participation goals for the contract. The project requires contractors to meet specific subcontracting participation targets with certified DBE firms, establishing clear expectations for minority and women-owned business involvement throughout the renovation work. The exhibit details the mechanisms for compliance verification, including documentation requirements and the process for requesting DBA participation waivers when certified firms cannot be located or engaged for specific work scopes.

The DBA requirements establish mandatory participation percentages that contractors must achieve or justify through good faith efforts. The exhibit provides guidance on acceptable DBA certification sources, including state and local certifying agencies, and outlines the consequences of non-compliance with established participation goals. Additionally, the document includes provisions for evaluating good faith efforts demonstrations when full participation targets cannot be met, allowing for alternative approaches such as requesting price quotations from multiple DBE firms or documenting market unavailability of qualified certified businesses for particular contract line items.
