About this file

This file is an instruction form and template for the Transbay Joint Powers Authority (TJPA) Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) and Small Business Enterprise (SBE) Proposer's Information Request, designed to capture workforce diversity metrics from respondents to RFQs and Statements of Qualifications. The document provides comprehensive instructions for completing Form O (standard proposer format) and Form O (JV) (joint venture format), requiring respondents to identify all DBE/SBE firms claimed for credit, list subconsultant names and work items, provide proof of current DBE/SBE certification, and submit signed Intent to Perform letters from all subconsultants. The TJPA accepts DBE participation only from firms certified through the California Unified Certification Program (CUCP), while SBE certifications are accepted from CUCP, the San Francisco Contract Monitoring Division, and the State of California Department of General Services. All sections must be completed regardless of DBE/SBE participation status, with respondents required to provide detailed firm information including business name and address, contact details, firm age, nature of work, NAICS codes, annual gross receipts, certification status and type, and percentage of contract participation totaling 100 percent.

The form serves as a federally-required bidders list maintenance tool and DBE/SBE program monitoring mechanism, capturing critical small business participation data from all respondents. Firms must identify the specific type of DBE classification if applicable (African-American, Hispanic, Native American, Asian-Pacific, Asian-Indian, Female-Woman, or Other as designated by the Small Business Administration), with certification verification required through documentation attached to the proposal. No pricing information, contract award amounts, or financial terms are addressed within this instruction and form document; rather, it functions as a standardized data collection instrument to ensure transparency and compliance with federal and local small business contracting goals and monitoring requirements.

The information in this section is required for TJPA DBE/SBE Program monitoring purposes and for maintaining a federally required bidders list. Do not write “not applicable” or “n/a”.

All subconsultants, whether DBE/SBE or non-DBE/SBE, must be listed in Section B. Use additional sheets if necessary. If there are no subconsultants proposed, Section B will remain blank.
