Updated DBE Supplier Information
In accordance with the revised USDOT regulations, 49 CFR Part 26, USDOT created a new type of DBE credit called “Distributor” and clarified the other types of DBE credit available on federal-aid projects. DBE Suppliers shall complete the DBE Supplier Regular Dealer/Distributor Affirmation Form and submit it with their quote to the Contractor. The completed DBE Supplier Regular Dealer/Distributor Affirmation Form shall accompany the firm’s quote when the low bidder on a contract submits the quote to the Department in accordance with RSP 103-C-269. This affirmation form is required to be submitted with the DBE quote for a bid to be considered responsive. One complete form per contract shall be submitted no later than 24 hours after the time specified in the Notice to Contractors for receipt of bids.
