DBE Reminders

Prime Contractors must submit Quarterly Reports for all DBE/WBE participation, even if there is no goal. DBE Supplemental Spec states “This requirement applies regardless of whether there is a contract goal assigned to the contract.”

If not part of the committal, just submit Quarterly Report. Subcontracts not needed by SCDOT.

DBE Reminders

Must perform ”Commercially useful function”. “…DBE must be also responsible, with respect to

materials and supplies used on the contract, for negotiating price, determining quality and quantity, ordering the material, and installing (where applicable) and paying for the material itself.”
