DBE Policy Statement

It is the policy of the Utah Department of Transportation to take all necessary and reasonable actions to ensure that Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) as defined herein shall have reasonable opportunity to participate in the performance of contracts financed in whole or in part with US Department of Transportation (DOT) funds.

Policy Objectives

– Ensure nondiscrimination in the award and administration of DOT assisted contracts;
– Create a level playing field on which DBEs can compete fairly for DOT assisted contracts;
– Ensure that the DBE program is narrowly tailored in accordance with applicable law;
– Ensure that only firms that fully meet eligibility standards are permitted to participate as DBEs;
– Remove barriers to the participation of DBEs in Federal aid contracts;
– Assist the development of firms that can compete successfully in the marketplace outside the DBE program; and
– Provide appropriate flexibility in establishing and providing opportunities for DBEs.

Responsibilities

Implementation of the DBE Program is accorded the same priority as compliance with all other legal obligations incurred by the Department in financial assistance agreements with DOT.

– The Civil Rights Manager shall be the DBE liaison officer, who shall have direct, independent access to the Executive Director concerning DBE program matters. The Civil Rights manager shall be responsible for implementing all aspects of the DBE program. Adequate staff will be assigned to administer the DBE program.
– Utah Department of Transportation is responsible for compliance of the DBE participation.

DBE/ACDBE 2025 Interim Final Rule



The UUCP has completed its re-evaluation process based on the DBE Interim Final Rule issued 10/03/2025 by the U.S. Department of Transportation. Firms with DBE certification before 10/03/2025 may still apply for re-evaluation using the 2025 Re-evaluation Application in B2GNow.

Key Changes

– All DBE and ACDBE firms were effectively suspended.
– Race and gender are no longer a qualifying factor of proof of disadvantage.
– The definitions of race-conscious and race-neutral measures were removed and replaced with DBE-conscious and DBE-neutral.
– Goal setting and other program elements were suspended and will continue to be until further notice.

Additionally:

As the UUCP, (UDOT, UTA, and SLC Airports), the Interim Final Rule (IFR) provides that we complete the re-evaluation process outlined above, each recipient may not:

1. Included Disadvantaged Business Enterpise (DBE) contract goals or concession-specific Airport Concession Disadvantaged Business Enterpise (ACDBE) goals; or

Title VI Program Plans


The Title VI Plans are the standard operating procedure for how Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act is implemented and overseen by a State Highway Administration. The plan should detail the who, what, how, when, and the why for each of the State Highway Administration’s programs and activities related to Title VI.
