Caltrans has commissioned BBC Research & Consulting (BBC) to conduct a disparity study to aid in developing its next triennial Disadvantaged Business Enterprise utilization goal for Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) funded contracts and procurements.
BBC will be contacting Caltrans District Offices and several Local Agencies to gather information about contracts and procurements awarded using FHWA funds between January 1, 2020, and December 31, 2023. It is vital that each agency and district office support BBC in its data collection efforts in order for Caltrans to set an accurate data-driven triennial goal.
The information being requested for FHWA funded projects includes data found in Exhibits:
• 10-02 – Consultant Contract DBE Commitment
• 15-G – Construction Contract DBE Commitment
• 17-F – Final Report – Utilization of DBE and First Tier Subcontractors
Agencies in possession of these forms for the time period of 01/01/2020 thru 12/31/2023, and have not submitted them to their District Local Assistance Engineer (DLAE) or appropriate district staff, are encouraged to submit by March 5th, 2024.
