DBE Compliance on Construction Contracts
Why It's Required
The DBE program exists primarily to ensure nondiscrimination of disadvantaged business owners on USDOT-assisted contracts. By setting subcontract participation goals, CDOT ensures that a reasonable percentage of work is completed by disadvantaged businesses.
