FORM C - SELECTED WORK CATEGORIES.pdf

This is a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) form used by state and local contracting agencies to track work category allocation and budgeting for contract bids and proposals. The document, titled "Form C - Selected Work Categories," requires bidders and proposers to identify and categorize the work they plan to perform either directly or through subcontractors. The form provides space for bidders to list multiple work categories, specify the estimated budget amount for each category, and calculate the percentage of total contract value allocated to each work category. The form accommodates up to thirteen separate work categories with corresponding budget entries and percentage calculations that must total 100 percent.

The form requires bidders to provide additional comments and justification for any work categories that do not provide opportunities for DBE participation or when the percentage of contracting allocated to DBEs is insufficient to meet established goals. Bidders must also provide supporting documentation to substantiate their DBE participation claims or explain barriers to meeting DBE participation thresholds. This form serves as a mechanism for agencies to monitor compliance with DBE contracting goals and to ensure transparency in how contract work is distributed between prime contractors and subcontractors, particularly regarding minority and women-owned business enterprise participation.
