Re: TVM DBE Goal Concurrence/Certification Letter – Fiscal Year 2018
Dear Mr. Calvo:
This letter is to inform you that the Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA) Office of Civil Rights has received ElDorado National’s Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) goal and methodology for FY 2018 for the period of October 1, 2017–September 30, 2018. This goal submission is required by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s DBE regulations at 49 CFR Part 26 and must be implemented in good faith.
We have reviewed your FY 2018 DBE goal and determined that it is compliant with DOT’s DBE regulations. You are eligible to bid on FTA-funded transit contracts. This letter or a copy of the TVM listing on FTA’s website may be used to demonstrate your compliance with DBE requirements when bidding on federally funded vehicle procurements.
FTA reserves the right to remove/suspend this concurrence if your DBE program or FY 2018 DBE goal is not implemented in good faith. In accordance with this good faith requirement, you must submit your DBE Uniform Report to FTA by December 1, 2017. This report should reflect all FTA- funded contracting activity for the second period of FY 2017 (i.e., from April 1 to September 30).
Please also be mindful that your FY 2019 DBE goal methodology must be submitted to FTA by August 1, 2018. Any updates to the program plan must be submitted to FTA as they occur. Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions regarding this approval, please contact the FTA DBE Team via e-mail at [email protected].
Sincerely,
