Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Policy Statement

The City of Maricopa (Maricopa) has established a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program in accordance with regulations of the United States Department of Transportation (US DOT), 49 CFR Part 26. Maricopa has received Federal financial assistance from the U.S. Department of Transportation, and as a condition of receipt of funding, has signed an assurance that it will comply with 49 CFR Part 26.  

It is Maricopa's policy to ensure that DBEs as defined in 49 CFR Part 26 have an equal opportunity to receive and participate in US DOT-assisted contracts. Maricopa's objectives for its DBE program are to:  

  • Ensure nondiscrimination in the award and administration of US DOT-assisted contracts in Maricopa’s and its Subrecipients’ construction, procurement, professional service highway, and transit financial assistance programs;  

  • Create a level playing field on which DBEs can compete fairly for US DOT assisted contracts;  

  • Ensure that Maricopa’s DBE program is narrowly tailored in accordance with applicable law;  

  • Ensure that only firms that fully meet 49 CFR Part 26 eligibility standards are permitted to participate as DBEs;  

  • Help remove barriers to the participation of DBEs in US DOT-assisted contracts;  

  • Promote the use of DBEs in all types of federally assisted contracts and procurement activities conducted by Maricopa and its Subrecipients.  

  • Assist in the development of firms that can compete successfully in the marketplace outside of the DBE program; and  

  • Provide appropriate flexibility to Maricopa and its Subrecipients in establishing and providing opportunities for DBEs  

It is also Maricopa's policy to facilitate and encourage participation of Small Business Concerns (SBCs), in US DOT-assisted contracts, as a component of its DBE program. Maricopa encourages contractors to take reasonable steps to eliminate obstacles to SBCs' participation and to utilize SBCs in performing contracts.  

Maricopa will take all necessary and reasonable steps under 49 CFR Part 26 and the DBE Program Plan to implement the DBE Program within its applicable departments and with its subrecipients, consultants, contractors, subcontractors and DBEs in a manner that shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability in the award and performance of US DOT-assisted contracts or in the administration of its DBE program or the requirements 49 CFR part 26.
