FORM C - SELECTED WORK CATEGORIES.pdf

This is a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) form used to document selected work categories for a state or local contract opportunity. Form C requires bidders and proposers to identify work categories they plan to perform either directly or through subcontractors, along with the estimated budget allocation and percentage of the total contract value for each category. The form includes 16 line items for work categories, each requiring the bidder to specify whether the work will be performed by the bidder or a subcontractor, the estimated budget dollar amount, and the percentage of the overall estimate that category represents. Bidders must also provide a total budget figure and corresponding percentage across all selected categories.

The form includes a critical notation requiring bidders to provide additional comments and justification for any work categories that do not provide opportunities for DBE participation, particularly when the percentage of contracting allocated to DBE firms is insufficient to meet the established DBE goal. Supporting documentation must accompany any such justifications. This form serves as a mechanism to ensure compliance with DBE contracting requirements and to demonstrate that bidders have made a good faith effort to include disadvantaged business enterprises in the performance of contract work.
