DBE program: Guiding principles for success

The primary objective of the DBE program is to level the playing field by:

• Engaging small businesses owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals in the bid letting process

• Providing fair and continuousopportunities to DBEs so they may compete for federally funded transportation contracts

Page 3: WisDOT Opportunity & Equity Compliance

TOOL KIT PURPOSE

The purpose of this tool kit is to give prime contractors practical examples of how to streamline the Good Faith Effort (GFE) process within your company. The suggestions presented are ideas meant to give your company a starting point and hopefully help your company develop an efficient GFE process which translates into increased DBE participation.

Page 4: WisDOT Opportunity & Equity Compliance

DBE goal attainment:It is a collective effort by all prime contractors

Many hands make light work

Every year, WisDOT strives to meet and when possible exceed its DBE goal.

How does this happen?

Answer: A dedicated commitment by WisDOT prime contractors and subcontractors who make DBE participation a specific focus and goal during the bid letting process. While DBE participation helps your company reach DBE goals per project, including DBE participation as part of your everyday business practice helps the Office of Business Opportunity & Equity Compliance (OBOEC) transition from mandatory DBE goals to discretionary DBE goals. Thank you for everyone’s continued partnership and efforts!

With your help, OBOEC can focus more intently on helping DBEs scale up and provide even higher levels of service for the future.

Page 5: WisDOT Opportunity & Equity Compliance

The optimal way to satisfy GFE is through meeting the assigned DBE goal.

Prime contractors should refer to ASP-3 for strategies and best practices on how to engage DBEs for increased DBE participation on projects:

• Use WisDOT approved DBE outreach tools such as UCP DBE Directory and the Bid Express® Small Business Network

• As needed, request assistance with DBE Support Services office by phone (414) 438-4584 and/or (608) 267-3849; email: [email protected]

• Participate and document a substantive conversation with at least (1) DBE firm per let as described in GFE Tool Kit Appendix 1.

• Request quotes by identifying potential items to subcontract and solicit. In their initial contacts, contractors are strongly encouraged to include a single page,detailed list of items for which they are accepting quotes, by project, within a letting. See GFE Tool Kit Appendix 2 for an example.

Page 6: WisDOT Opportunity & Equity Compliance

When it is not possible to meet the DBE goal, prime contractors must document the comprehensive efforts they took to meet the goal detailed on Form DT1202 .

• Solicitation documentation

• Selected work Items documentation

• Documentation of project Information provided to interested DBEs

• Documentation of negotiation with interested DBEs

• Documentation of sound reason for rejecting DBEs

• Documentation of assistance to interested DBEs –bonding, credit, insurance, equipment, supplies and materials

• Documentation of outreach of minority, women, community organizations and other DBE business development support

Page 7: WisDOT Opportunity & Equity Compliance

Solicitation log

Creating a well-organized solicitation log for each bid letting that tracks multiple data points helps prime contractors pull together solicitation information quickly if a GFE request is needed.

GFE Tool Kit Appendix 3 is an example of a solicitation log that is created from the UCP DBE Directory with modified columns that track:

• Date solicitation was sent

• Type of solicitation (letter / invitation to quote / email)

• Communication method (email / USPS / phone / other 3rd party platforms such as Pipeline Suite)

• DBE response (yes / no / maybe)

Page 8: WisDOT Opportunity & Equity Compliance

Solicitation timelines

• The sooner notice can be provided to DBEs about upcoming

projects your company is bidding on, the better

• At minimum, a solicitation letter/invitation to quote should be sent

10 working days prior to the bid letting

• Consider advertising in The Daily Reporter and Small Business

Network (SBN) 10 working days prior to the bid letting. SBN is

part of Bid Express®

• Any follow-up communication should occur at least 5 working

days prior to the bid letting

Page 9: WisDOT Opportunity & Equity Compliance

Selected work items documentation

• See GFE Tool Kit Appendix 2 – Page 2 of the sample contractor solicitation letter gives an example of how to identify all the subcontract-able DBE work opportunities for a bid.

• Break up larger work items into smaller tasks. For example:

• Concrete work can be broken out into the following sub-contractable opportunities: Supplying concrete, sealing concrete and sawing concrete.

• Keep in mind the sample contractor solicitation letter is a guide. We encourage prime contractors to personalize it with additional language that encourages DBE participation with your company.

Page 10: WisDOT Opportunity & Equity Compliance

Documentation of project information provided to interested DBEs

Providing project information to DBEs can be done in a couple of different ways:

• The sample solicitation letter provides language prime contractors can include so DBEs can download plans, specifications and addenda on the WisDOT website: http://roadwaystandards.dot.wi.gov/hcci/

• Prime contractors can also provide a link to plans on their website (if prime contractor maintains a website) or provide a link to a separate plan room where DBEs can download the plans and specifications.

• Prime contractors may also want to indicate in the solicitation letter that they will meet with DBEs at their office by appointment to discuss the plans & specifications – especially if requested by a new DBE or a DBE the prime contractor has not worked with yet.

Page 11: WisDOT Opportunity & Equity Compliance

Documentation of negotiationwith interested DBEs

• As with the solicitation log, maintain a log of negotiations with all DBEs that documents the following: date, conversation details and who participated

• Document any conversations that occur between lettings and in the last 6 months of your GFE request

• Examples can include: Conversations with non-DBEs or DBEs to untie quotes so a partial award can be awarded to a DBE, conversations with non-DBE subcontractors to use DBE suppliers, conversations with trucking DBEs and initial conversations with new DBEs to see if they would be the right fit for future projects

Page 12: WisDOT Opportunity & Equity Compliance

Award by work type and sound reasoning documentation

• See GFE Tool Kit Appendix 4 that combines the award by work type and sound reasoning documentation into one document.

• All quotes should be reflected on the award by work type document (DBE, non-DBE and self-performed work by prime contractor).

• Price alone is not sufficient reason to reject a DBE. Consider higher DBE quotes if the DBE has the requisite skill & experience for the work type, especially when the difference between quotes is reasonable.

• See GFE Tool Kit Appendix 5 which is a blank template provided for prime contractor use.

Page 13: WisDOT Opportunity & Equity Compliance

Documentation of assistance to interested DBEs –bonding, credit, insurance, equipment, supplies and materials opportunities

• As of December 2020, prime contractors are no longer able to withhold retainage See ASP-4. This new policy creates an opportunity to discuss bonding issues with DBEs.

• If you participate in the Mentor-Protégé program, dedicate some time to discuss bonding/credit/insurance matters on a yearly basis. Share knowledge and best practices so the DBE firm can incorporate into their business model.

• Stockpiling. In some cases, WisDOT will pay prime contractors upfront for supply and material purchases. The prime contractor can in turn pay a DBE in advance of using the supplies on the project. See 109.6.3.2.1 in the Standard Specifications.

• Document “in the field” assistance with DBEs on how to perform a certain task more efficiently or how to troubleshoot new project obstacles.

• Purchase approved supplies and commodities in bulk from a DBE and request application of credit as the materials are used. See Section 8 (b) in ASP-3.

• Add an agenda item to weekly Project Manager meetings/minutes so DBE conversations are consistently discussed, documented and easily accessible for future GFE requests. Maintain a log for future GFE requests as well.

Page 14: WisDOT Opportunity & Equity Compliance

DBE outreach opportunities Some typical outreach activities include:

• Attend the annual WisDOT DBE Workshop and Networking Summit (formerly known as the Golden Shovel Event)

• Participate in the Mentor-Protégé program

• Reach out to local DBE organizations and chapters to establish DBE partnerships in the project area/region

• Work with local school districts to promote employment in the trades

• Lend equipment in the off season to operator unions

• Include a dedicated DBE page on your company website with links to current and upcoming projects, WisDOT DBE information and other DBE resources

• Offer a CDL licensing program to new employees

Page 15: WisDOT Opportunity & Equity Compliance

DBE Outreach Opportunities Other examples to consider:

• Include non-certified DBE firms when soliciting

work for a project. This give non-certified firms an

opportunity to experience a WisDOT work site and

gain valuable experience. Prime contractor can

then provide assistance and resource information

so the firm can become WisDOT DBE certified for

future work.

• Host an informational session on typical

subcontract-able opportunities where DBEs can

ask questions in an informal atmosphere.

Page 16: WisDOT Opportunity & Equity Compliance

Tips for documentation

• Consider a shared site such as Google Sheets or One Note where multiple, authorized users can enter, review and edit information simultaneously

• Create a different tab or sheet, organized by month and year, for DBE negotiations, DBE assistance and DBE outreach

• Think bullet points not paragraphs. Document all DBE activities in bullet point format when submitting your DT1202

• Create simple and consistent processes that are routinely followed at bid letting and between bid lettings

Page 17: WisDOT Opportunity & Equity Compliance

The roadmap to DBE success is a collective effort – some final thoughts

• Remember…The best way to satisfy GFE is through meeting the DBE goal.

• Comprehensive good faith efforts translate into increased DBE participation.

• Please continue to submit new and increased DBE commitments throughout the life of a project with Attachment A submitted to the [email protected] box – this participation is applied to the overall annual goal. This allows OBOEC to lower assigned goals at the project level when we are meeting the overall goal.

Appendix A Substantive Conversation Guidelines

The substantive conversation is critical to all bidders’ demonstration of good faith effort to meet the DBE goal prior to

bid opening. Relationship building between primes and subcontractors is crucial to DBE goal attainment. Responsible bidders seek to build rapport with potential DBE subcontractors to understand capacity, areas of expertise, and assess contracting feasibility. Bidders who compete for WisDOT contracts are specialty contractors responding to a growing and changing contract environment. Just as these specialists are responsible for care of the roads, they are likewise responsible for contributing to the health of the industry. The substantive conversation drives collaboration that will build industry health and capacity. The following is intended to provide guidance for such discussions but is not an exhaustive list. Contractors are encouraged to incorporate their existing strategies for cultivating business relationships as well.

Prior to Bid Opening- this discussion should happen as early as possible (WisDOT advertisements are released 5

weeks prior to each Let) · Determine DBE subcontractor’s interest in quoting · If response indicates inexperience with quoting- offer support/assistance to the DBE in understanding the industry

including fundamentals a subcontractor needs to know, required reading and/or resources. · Assess their interest and experience in the road construction industry by asking questions such as:

1. Have you competed for other WisDOT contracts? Ratio of competed/to wins 2. Have you performed on any transportation industry contracts (locally or with other states)? 3. What the largest contract you’ve completed? 4. Have you worked in the industry: apprentice, journeyman, safety, inspection etc.? 5. Does this project fit into your schedule? Are you working on any contracts now? 6. Have you reviewed a copy of the plans? Are you comfortable performing within the scope and quantity

considerations of this contract? 7. What region do you work in? Home base? 8. Which line items are you considering? 9. Have you read/are you familiar with WisDOT Standard Specifications? Construction Material Manual? 10. Do you understand where your work fits in the project schedule, project phases?

Following Bid Opening- this discussion can happen at any time 1. After reviewing their quote, note the following in your discussion: · Does the quote look complete? Irregular? · Are there errors in the quote? Are items very high or very low? · In general, does the quote look competitive? 2. Questions and Advice for the bidder to share with the potential DBE subcontractor: · What line items would typically be in a competitive quote for a subcontractor of their specialty? · How many employees and what is their role/experience/expertise in your firm? · Do you have resources for labor (union member, family-based, community-resourced) and capital (banking

relationship, bond agent, CPA)? · Where have you worked: cities, states, government, commercial, residential/private sector, etc. Explain similarities

or differences. · Refer them to reliable, trusted, industry resources that can educate or connect them to relevant resources,

education/certification resources, more appropriate contract opportunities. · Discussion about prime contract and subcontract liability, critical path items, contract quantities, schedule risks,

and potential profit/loss (for upcoming known projects or in general). · Discussion of bonding, insurance, and overall business risk considerations.
