This synthesis report will be of interest to state transportation agencies (STAs) and their contractors as they implement Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) regulations as set forth in the U.S. Department of Transportation Final Rule, revised February 2, 1999. The revised Final Rule caused STAs to change the way they do business by prescribing new regulations, but also providing additional flexibility. The resulting different approaches to requirements among STAs are discussed, including bidder's lists; prompt payment provisions; return of retainage provisions; actual achievements, including accounting and reporting procedures; good faith efforts; and compliance, including substitutions, fraud, and commercially useful functions. The synthesis also includes information on construction and construction management contracts, design-build projects, master contracts (indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity, services on demand, and task ordering), pass-through to local agencies, and STA performance measures. The scope of the study applies generally to all DBE programs, but specifically to those in the highway transportation sector.
