The purpose of this training is to give the participant an understanding of how to comply with Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) require-ments.
In July, ODOT is sponsoring Certification, Contract Administration and Compliance training.
People who participate in the “DBE Certification” training will be able to: identify when documentation is sufficient for each presumptive group; explain how the applicant shows that they are maintaining control; calculate personal net worth; describe what to look for on job-site visits; explain how to communicate changes properly; relate how to handle differences in licensing and legal requirements between states.
Participants in the “DBE Contract Administration and Compliance” training will learn how to: recognize potential issues; verify eligibility criteria; set project goals; verify commitments and assure that good faith efforts are adequately documented in contract bids; review CUFs for sufficient documentation to assure commercially useful function; and assure prompt contract payment and retainage.
