TRANSIT VEHICLE MANUFACTURER DBE - EXHIBIT G.pdf

This is a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation certification form for transit vehicle manufacturers in connection with MassDOT Rail and Transit Division's procurement of ADA-compliant vans. The form serves as a pre-award self-certification requiring the proposer's authorized representative to certify compliance with 49 CFR 26 regulations governing participation by disadvantaged business enterprises in USDOT-funded programs and to confirm that DBE goals have not been disapproved by the Federal Transit Administration. The procurement targets the manufacture and delivery of new ADA-compliant vans up to 29 feet in length that comply with 49 CFR Part 38 accessibility specifications and applicable federal requirements, with resulting contracts permitting MassDOT RTD and other eligible entities to issue purchase orders under the RFP framework.

The form requires the proposer's authorized representative to provide their name, title, and authorized signature with date to complete the certification. This DBE certification is mandatory for proposal submission and reflects the federal requirement that contractors participating in USDOT-funded programs demonstrate commitment to disadvantaged business enterprise participation goals established under federal transit funding guidelines.
