The City of Ocala, as a recipient of Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) funds, has established a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program in accordance with the regulations of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), 49 C.F.R. Part 26.
This means the City's goal is to spend at least 2.55% of expenditure of FTA funds and 15.31% of FAA-funds with certified DBE's as prime firms, or as subcontractors/sub-consultants. Race-neutrality means the City hopes the overall goal can be achieved through the normal competitive procurement process without using DBE required goals. Although not a requirement, the City believes this DBE percentage can realistically be achieved on projects through use of DBE prime and DBE subcontractors performing services anticipated on projects. Prime contractors or consultants may be requested to submit a DBE Utilization form indicating their firm's proposed use of DBE subcontractors.
Prime construction contractors for FDOT-funded projects are required to visit https://www.fdot.gov/equalopportunity/eoc.shtm to register and submit their DBE commitments online.
