Title VI FHWA Assurance Package Summary

This document is a Title VI compliance assurance package from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) applicable to state and local transportation projects in Maine. The package establishes non-discrimination and civil rights compliance requirements for projects receiving federal highway funding. The assurance package does not specify particular products or services, quantities, response dates, or contract terms; rather, it serves as a foundational compliance framework that must be incorporated into Maine transportation contracts and projects. The document outlines the obligations of recipients and subrecipients to ensure compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination based on race, color, or national origin in programs receiving federal financial assistance.

The assurance package requires participating entities to implement non-discrimination policies, establish complaint procedures, maintain records of compliance efforts, and certify adherence to federal civil rights requirements. There are no specific pricing terms, set-asides, or incumbent contractor information contained in this compliance document. The funding source is federal highway assistance through the FHWA, and all recipients of such funds must execute these assurances as a condition of receiving federal transportation dollars. The package applies broadly to all transportation projects and contracts in Maine that utilize federal highway funding, establishing the civil rights compliance environment within which all related procurement activities must operate.
