H_DBE_Participation_Statement.pdf

This document is a DBE (Disadvantaged Business Enterprise) Participation Statement form from a procurement department, specifically related to the O.C. Phillips Road Over Brushy Creek Bridge Replacement project in Escambia County, Florida. The form requires consultants to provide details about their DBE status, including whether they are a certified DBE, the percentage of fees allocated to DBE consultants, and the expected percentage of contract fees to be subcontracted to DBE firms. The form is designed to be submitted with the technical proposal and allows consultants to list proposed DBE sub-consultants and their respective work types or commodities.

The document is part of a broader procurement effort that encourages participation from small businesses, minority/women-owned businesses, and disadvantaged business enterprises. The project involves Construction Engineering Inspection (CEI) services for a bridge replacement, with specific FDOT (Florida Department of Transportation) prequalification requirements for prime and subconsultants. Prequalification is mandatory in major work categories such as Roadway Construction Engineering and Minor Bridge Construction Engineering Inspection, with additional minor work categories including highway materials testing and construction materials inspection. Proposals must include documentation of FDOT prequalification, and failure to do so will result in the proposal being considered non-responsive.
