Abstract
This report reviews and synthesizes current practices and challenges that state departments of transportation (DOTs) face as they set and monitor the Federal Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program goals on design-build and other alternative delivery projects. This study focuses on key issues associated with DBE contract goals, including how requirements are established, how submissions are evaluated, how program compliance is monitored through the contract, and what mechanisms are available to state DOTs for enforcement. Information used in this study was acquired through a literature review, a compilation of documents relevant to state DOT practices, in-depth interviews with state DOT staff, and follow-up reviews.
