Objective/Policy Statement (49 CFR 26.1 and 26.23) SUB-RECIPIENT intends to receive federal financial assistance from the U. S. Department of Transportation (DOT)through the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), and as a condition of receiving this assistance, SUB-RECIPIENT will sign the California Department of Transportation Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Implementation Agreement (hereinafter referred to as Agreement). SUB-RECIPIENT agrees to implement the State of California, Department of Transportation Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program Plan (hereinafter referred to as the DBE Program Plan) as it pertains to Local Agencies. The DBE Program Plan is based on U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), 49 CFR 26 requirements. It is the policy of SUB-RECIPIENT to ensure that DBEs, as defined in 49 CFR 26, have an equal opportunity to receive and participate in DOT-assisted contracts. It is also SUB- RECIPIENT's policy: • To ensure nondiscrimination in the award and administration of DOT-assisted contracts. • To create a level playing field on which DBE's can compete fairly for DOT-assisted contracts. • To ensure that the DBE participation percentage is narrowly tailored, in accordance with applicable law. • To ensure that only firms that fully meet 49 CFR 26 eligibility standards are permitted to participate as DBEs. • To help remove barriers to the participation of DBEs in Federal-aid contracts. • To assist the development of firms that can compete successfully in the market place outside the DBE Program. III. Nondiscrimination (49 CFR 26.7) SUB-RECIPIENT will never exclude any person from participation in, deny any person the benefits of, or otherwise discriminate against anyone in connection with the award and performance of any contract covered by 49 CFR 26 on the basis of race, color, sex, or national origin. In administering the Local Agency components of the DBE Program Plan, SUB- RECIPIENT will not, directly, or through contractual or other arrangements, use criteria or methods of administration that have the effect of defeating or substantially impairing accomplishment of the objectives of the DBE Program Plan with respect to individuals of a particular race, color, sex, or national origin.
