  • Abstract:
    U.S. Department of Transportation (US DOT) Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program ; regulations require recipients of US DOT financial assistance, namely, state and local transportation ; agencies, to establish goals for the participation of disadvantaged entrepreneurs and certify the ; eligibility of DBE firms to participate in their US DOT-assisted contracts. ; The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) has established a DBE program in accordance with ; regulations of the U.S. Department of Transportation at 49 CFR Part 26. MDOT has received federal ; financial assistance from US DOT, and, as a condition of receiving this assistance, MDOT has signed an ; assurance that it will comply with 49 CFR Part 26. ; A recent audit by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) with MDOT field engineers and other ; staff identified a need for improved communications with respect to the MDOT DBE program. ; Specifically, after interviewing four Resident and Project Engineers, it was evident that their level of ; engagement in the DBE program did not meet the minimum expectations, and the MDOT Construction ; Manual contained little or no references to the DBE requirements.
