The form requires prime contractors to document their actual and anticipated use of certified DBE subcontractors and provide estimated dollar amounts for each subcontract.

The form requires detailed information for all participating subcontractors, including name, address, DBE certification status, description of work to be performed, and agreed contract price. Proposals are due March 17, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. EST via the City's e-procurement portal, with the contract term set at two years with a maximum nine-month study duration.

All DBEs must be certified through the Unified Certification Program to qualify for DBE counting purposes and are defined as for-profit small businesses at least 51% owned and controlled by individuals from designated socially and economically disadvantaged groups including Black Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans, Asian-Pacific Americans, Subcontinent Asian Americans, women, and other groups designated by the U.S. Small Business Administration. The RFP is federally funded through the Federal Transit Administration, requiring compliance with FTA Circular 4220.1F and all associated federal requirements. Bidders who fail to provide accurate information or exercise positive good faith efforts as defined by the City of Ocala's DBE Program may be deemed non-responsive, and the City reserves the right to recommend audits to verify submitted information. Authorized representatives must certify that all information provided is true and complete under penalty of potential contract termination.
