DBE programme administration for awarding agencies

For agencies administering a DBE programme on USDOT-funded work: participation counted by the role each firm actually performs rather than by the face value of its subcontract, commercially useful function screened against the work instead of the paperwork, a bidders list maintained so the next goal rests on evidence, and participation reported against a single stated base that is never quietly merged with another.

What's included

DBE programme administration for awarding agencies, step by step.

Baseline, programme documents, funding sources confirmed as USDOT, and the current goal methodology

Countability, each participation entry counted by role, with the credit rule cited

Commercially useful function, screened against the work actually performed, not the paperwork

Bidders list, maintained so the next goal rests on evidence rather than assertion

Reporting, participation against a single stated base, with any incompatible merge refused rather than fudged

What we do, and what we never doWe administer and compute; the agency decides. Certification is the certifying agency's decision, not ours, and every good-faith-efforts, enforcement and decertification determination is yours on your counsel's advice. This programme applies to USDOT-funded work only, it is not the rule set for HUD CDBG-DR, FEMA, or a local agency's own small-business goal, and we will say so rather than apply the wrong one.

$2,200 flat to stand a programme up, then $1,450 per month. Triennial goal-setting analysis, $4,100 flat. Configure this service and see your estimate in the engagement builder.

Pricing & scope

Scope, plainly statedProgramme administration delivered to the awarding agency. We compute countability and screen commercially useful function against 49 CFR 26; certification decisions belong to the certifying agency (Caltrans via CUCP in California), and every enforcement, decertification or good-faith-efforts determination belongs to the agency and its counsel. We do not certify firms. Aeternus Dynamics uses AI-assisted tools in the work it prepares for clients and in the software it builds; anything this firm prepares and delivers to you is reviewed by a qualified human before it is submitted or used. Aeternus Dynamics is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice.
