VDOT TITLE VI EVALUATION FORM
This Title VI Evaluation Form is used as a Pre-award Review and Post-award Review. VDOT is required to conduct routine assessments prior to releasing funds to ensure Title VI compliance. A pre-award review assists VDOT in determining whether applicants operate in a nondiscriminatory manner.
Pre-award reviews can also be used to require applicants to take preventive measures to ensure that discrimination will not occur in their services as a condition of receiving contracts. Pre-award reviews represent a frontline approach to eliminating and preventing discrimination before it occurs.
Post-Award Reviews are generally conducted after a contractor begins the scope of work. However to minimize the burden on VDOT’s contractors, VDOT has developed a form that serves as both a pre-award and post-award compliance tool.
VDOT must also conduct on-site reviews of prime contractors periodically to ensure that the contractor remains in compliance with Title VI and to verify that the contractor has preventive measures to ensure nondiscrimination by their sub-contractors.

Appendix A
VDOT is a recipient of federal financial assistance. As a recipient, VDOT is required to comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended and other nondiscrimination laws and authorities. Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and other directives prohibit agencies and sub-recipients receiving federal assistance from discriminating against anyone or any group in the United States on the grounds of race, color, national origin, sex, age, disability, or low-income. The United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Regulations
(49) Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 21, and 23 CFR, Part 200 respectively, and other applicable orders and authorities provide guidelines, actions, and responsibilities for VDOT’s implementation of the Title VI Program. These laws and regulations include but are not limited to the following:
The 1970 Uniform Act (42 USC 4601) – prohibits unfair treatment of displacees Section 504 of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act (29 USC 790) – prohibits discrimination based on disability The Federal-Aid Highway Act 1973 (23 USC 324) – prohibits discrimination based on gender The 1975 Age Discrimination Act (42 USC 6101) – prohibits age discrimination (any age) The Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987 – clarified the original intent of nondiscrimination organization-wide Executive Order 12898 on Environmental Justice (EJ) addresses disproportionately high and adverse human health and environmental effects on minority and low-income populations Executive Order 13166 on Limited English Proficiency (LEP) - ensures people who are limited English proficient (LEP) have meaningful access to services
In brief, these laws and regulations prohibit discrimination in federally assisted programs and activities. Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act states that:
“No person in the United States shall, on the grounds of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.”
By contracting with VDOT, a contractor is obligated to comply with the laws and regulations listed above and within the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) executed between the Department and the contractor. VDOT’s Civil Rights Division with the assistance from each applicable division’s Program Manager, monitors an organization’s compliance with the non-discrimination provisions.
To monitor compliance, each contractor and all sub-contractors are required to submit a Title VI Evaluation Form. This requirement is applicable for all contractors.
Revised 2-3-09 Page 6 of 6 Form #T6-2-3-09
The Title VI Evaluation Form provides documentation that a contractor has procedures in place to prevent discrimination in programs and services based on Title VI.
VDOT will request a Title VI Evaluation Form within ten (10) days of notification of selection for new contractors or contractors that do not have a current assessment on file with VDOT. The Assessment Form should be submitted to the Program Manager in the division that is negotiating the contract. These are the divisions we currently receive Title VI Evaluation Forms from:
Right of Way & Utilities Division Location & Design Division
Environmental Division Structure & Bridge Innovative Project Delivery Materials Division
Transportation & Mobility Planning Division
Once the Title VI Evaluation Form is provided to VDOT, the Title VI Coordinator in the Civil Rights Division reviews the information and issues a pre-award letter within fifteen
(15) days of receiving documentation or may schedule an on-site review within the same time frame to confirm information provided in the Assessment Form. VDOT Program Managers have access to a Title VI Log that is updated monthly on the Civil Rights Website. The Title VI Coordinator may request additional information and/or recommend corrective actions. The Title VI Coordinator may randomly schedule on site compliance reviews at the contractor’s office.
If the report is approved for award, a letter is sent out with an expiration date for one year from the date of the approval letter. Typically the letter remains current and on file with VDOT for a period of one year. An updated report is required annually for contractors who continue to perform under a contract with VDOT. It should be noted that if VDOT conducts an on site compliance review the contractor can still be found to be out of compliance during the one year period.
Failure to comply with the nondiscrimination provisions may result in cessation of negotiations, withholding of payments, cancellation, termination, or suspension of the contract in whole or in part.
Should you have any questions about VDOT’s Title VI Program or the Title VI Evaluation Form, you may directly contact the Title VI Coordinator in VDOT’s Civil Rights Division at 804-786-2085 or at robin.underwood@vdot.virginia.gov.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARATION OF
STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
This statement of compliance meets needs resulting from the amendment of the Davis-Bacon Act to include fringe benefits provisions. Under this amended law, the contractor is required to pay fringe benefits as predetermined by the Department of Labor, in addition to payment to the minimum rates. The contractor's obligation to pay fringe benefits may be met by payment of the fringes to the various plans, funds, or programs or by making these payments to the employees as cash in lieu of fringes.
The contractor should show on the face of his payroll all monies paid to the employees whether as basic rates or as cash in lieu of fringes. The contractor shall represent in the statement of compliance that he is paying to others fringes required by the contract and not paid as cash in lieu of fringes. Detailed instructions follow:
Contractors who pay all required fringe benefits:
A contractor who pays fringe benefits to approved plans, funds, or programs in amounts not less than were determined in the applicable wage decision of the Secretary of Labor shall continue to show on the face of his payroll the basic cash hourly rate and overtime rate paid to his employees, just as he has always done. Such a contractor shall check paragraph 4(a) of the statement to indicate that he is also paying to approved plans, funds, or programs not less than the amount pre-determined as fringe benefits for each craft. Any exception shall be noted in Section 4(c).
Contractors who pay no fringe benefits:
A contractor who pays no fringe benefits shall pay to the employee and insert in the straight time hourly rate column of his payroll an amount not less than the predetermined rate for each classification plus the amount of fringe benefits determined for each classification in the applicable wage decision. Inasmuch as it is not necessary to pay time and a half on cash paid in lieu of fringes, the overtime rate shall not be less than the sum of the basic predetermined rate, plus the half time premium on the basic or regular rate plus the required cash in lieu of fringes at the straighttime rate. To simplify computation of overtime, it is suggested that the straight time basic rate and cash in lieu of fringes be separately stated in the hourly rate column, thus $3.25/.40. In addition, the contractor shall check paragraph 4(b) of the statement to indicated that he is paying fringe benefits in cash directly to his employees. Any exceptions shall be noted in Section 4(c).
Use of Section 4(c), Exceptions
Any contractor who is making payment to approved plans, funds, or programs in amounts less than the wage determination requires is obliged to pay the deficiency directly to the employees as cash in lieu of fringes. Any exceptions to Section 4(a) or 4(b), whichever the contractor may check, shall be entered in Section 4(c). Enter in the Exception column the craft, and enter in the Explanation column the hourly amount paid the employees as cash in lieu of fringes, and the hourly amount paid to plans, funds or programs as fringes.
1. It is the policy of the Virginia Department of Transportation and Henrico County that Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) as defined in 49 CFR Part 26 shall have the maximum opportunity to participate in the performance of federally funded consultant contracts. A list of Virginia Department of Minority Business Enterprise certified DBE firms is maintained on their web site (http://www.dmbe.virginia.gov/) under the DBE Directory of Certified Vendors. Consultants are encouraged to take all necessary and reasonable steps to ensure that DBE firms have the maximum opportunity to compete for and perform services on the contract, including participation in any subsequent supplemental contracts. If the consultant intends to subcontract a portion of the services on the project, the consultant is encouraged to seek out and consider DBE firms as potential subconsultants. The consultant is encouraged to contact DBE firms to solicit their interest, capability and qualifications. Any agreement between a consultant and a DBE firm whereby the DBE firm promises not to provide services to other consultants is prohibited. [Include the following wording on federally funded projects without a stated DBE goal: The Department believes that these services support 0% DBE participation.]
FOR PROJECTS WITH DBE GOALS SET,
PARAGRAPHS 2 THROUGH 5 APPLY:
2. Include the following wording and two bullets on state or federally funded projects with a DBE or SWaM goal. In the following sentence and these two bullets, remove references to SWaM on federally funded projects and DBE on a state funded project.
If portions of the services are to be subcontracted to a DBE or SWaM, the following needs to be submitted with your EOI and both must reference the project number(s) for the services:
Written documentation of the prime’s commitment to the DBE or SWaM firm to subcontract a portion of the services, a description of the services to be performed and the percent of participation.
Written confirmation from the DBE or SWaM firm that it is participating, including a description of the services to be performed and the percent of participation.
3. 49 CFR Part 26 requires VDOT to collect certain data about firms attempting to participate in VDOT contracts. This data must be provided on the enclosed Firm Data Sheet.
4. VDOT is also required to capture DBE and SWaM payment information on all professional services contracts. The successful prime consultant will be required to complete C- 63 form for both state and federally funded projects on quarterly basis.
5. Any DBE or SWaM firm must become certified (with the Virginia Department of Minority Business Enterprise) prior to your response being submitted. If DBE or SWaM firm is the prime consultant, the firm will receive full credit for planned involvement of their own forces, as well as the work that they commit to be performed by DBE or SWaM subconsultants.
DBE or SWaM prime consultants are encouraged to make the same outreach efforts as other consultants. DBE or SWaM credit will be awarded only for work actually being performed by them. When a DBE or SWaM prime consultant subcontracts work to another firm, the work counts toward DBE or SWaM goals only if the other firm is itself a DBE or SWaM. A DBE or SWaM prime consultant must perform or exercise responsibility for at least 30% of the total cost of its contract with its own force.
FOR PROJECTS WITH NO DBE GOAL
PARAGRAPHS 6 – 13 APPLIES.
6. DBE or SWaM certification entitles consultants to participate in VDOT’s DBE and SWaM programs. However, this certification does not guarantee that the firm will obtain VDOT work

7. Prior to the time of submittal of the EOI, all business entities, except for sole proprietorships, are required to register with the Virginia State Corporation Commission Information about business registration can be found at https://www.scc.virginia.gov/default.aspx..
Foreign Professional corporations and Foreign Professional Limited Liability Companies (i.e., organized or existing under the laws of a state or jurisdiction other than Virginia) must possess a Commonwealth of Virginia Certificate of Authority from the State Corporation Commission to render professional services.
Any business entity other than a professional corporation, professional limited liability company or sole proprietorships that do not employ other individuals for which licensing is required must be registered in the Commonwealth of Virginia with the Department of Professional & Occupational Regulation http://www.dpor.virginia.gov/, Virginia Board for Architects, Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors and Landscape Architects (Board).
Board regulations require that all branch offices of professional corporations and business entities located in Virginia, which offer or render any professional services relating to the professions regulated by the Board shall be registered as separate branch office with the Board. All offices, including branches, which offer or render any professional service, must have at least one full-time resident professional in responsible charge who is licensed in the profession offered or rendered at that office. All firms involved that are to provide professional services must meet these criteria prior to submitting an Expression of Interest to the < Local Government >. Individual engineers shall meet the requirements of Chapter 4, Title 54.1 of the Code of Virginia.
