Disadvantaged Business Enterprise

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has just received conditional approval from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to immediately implement its Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2009 Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Goal and Methodology.

The 2009 Goal and Methodology provides for a 6.75 percent race-conscious goal and a 6.75 percent race-neutral goal for an overall 13.5 percent program goal. With the recent enactment of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 and the increase in transportation contracting opportunities it will bring, the urgency for Caltrans to implement contract goals has heightened. The conditional approval requires Caltrans to submit to FHWA the additional requested information to support its decision to make no upward adjustment to the FFY 2009 goal.
