Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE)

San Joaquin Regional Transit District (RTD) is committed to the promotion and participation of Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (“DBEs”) in its contracting opportunities in compliance with 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 26 requirements. It is RTD’s policy to require nondiscrimination based on color, race, sex or national origin in the competition for, award of, and administration of U.S. Department of Transportation-assisted contracts. It is the goal of RTD to promote a “level playing field” on which DBEs can compete fully and fairly for RTD contracting and subcontracting opportunities.

The General Manager/CEO of RTD is responsible for agency adherence to the DBE program and policy. The Procurement and Contract Services Department of RTD and the designated DBE Liaison Officer (DBELO) are responsible for the development and implementation of the RTD DBE program as a supporting tenet of the RTD’s civil rights and nondiscrimination programs.

RTD encourages qualified women and/or minority-owned small businesses to consider completing the application and review process required for certification as a DBE. Information on the certification process and its requirements may be obtained from the California Department of Transportation Civil Rights/DBE website located at www.dot.ca.gov/hq/bep/ucp.htm.

Bidders for RTD contracts are also encouraged to utilize the California Unified Certification Program (CUCP) database located at www.dot.ca.gov./hq/bep/dbe_query.htm  which can help identify ready, willing and able DBE firms who may be able to participate as subcontractors in RTD bidding process. The level of participation by qualified DBEs in RTD contracting will be expressed in bid documents as the DBE Availability Advisory Percentage, where applicable. This is intended not as a condition of award but as an estimate by RTD of the potential for participation by DBEs in the contract. The details of this advisory estimate are found in the bid documents publicizing new contracting opportunities.

Effective 5/1/06, per California Department of Transportation requirements, the RTD DBE Program will support DBE contract participation through “race-neutral” means without the assignment of specific DBE contract goals for DBE participation. RTD contributes planning data to the state department of transportation for the establishment of the new state-wide goal.
