Memorandum – DBE Commitment CO – Revised

When a DBE subcontractor is not used, or not used within 10% of their committed amount due to change in project scope, then a
change order is required to reduce their individual DBE commitment amount. In doing this, if the overall DBE commitment is reduced
below the project goal, then the difference will need to be made up by changing race neutral commitments to race conscious within
the same change order. FHWA check two areas for DBE commitment compliance, first, the overall commitment must meet the goal
and, second, all individual line items must meet their individual commitment amounts. A contractor’s DBE commitment is part of their
contract, which is why change orders are used for this purpose, because change orders are the only way we currently have to amend
the contract.
