DBE Special Provision update

By: Elisa Bottos, State Aid Project Delivery Engineer

MnDOT's Office of Civil Rights has updated the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Special Provisions required for local agency federal aid construction projects. These special provisions should be used on your next federal aid project and will be included in the Delegated Contract Process (DCP) packet send from State Aid. A few of the updates in the special provisions include:

  • DBE documentation due on fifth day after letting (no time specified, can be submitted anytime on fifth day)
  • Submissions due electronically, via email only
  • The updated credit category for distributor at 40 percent DBE credit
  • Updated Exhibit A
  • Regular Dealer/Distributor Affirmation Form

Contractors should continue to follow the special provisions in existing contracts.
