that have submitted a goal methodology to FTA that has been approved or has not been disapproved at the time of
solicitation, are eligible to bid.
FTA recipients must meet the maximum feasible portion of their overall goal using race -neutral methods. Where
appropriate, however, recipients are responsible for establishing DBE contract goals on individual DOT -assisted contracts.
FTA recipients may use contract goals only on those DOT -assisted contracts that have subcontracting responsibilities. See
49 C.F.R. § 26.51(e). Furthermore, while FTA recipients are not required to set a contract goal on every DOT -assisted
contract, they are responsible for achieving their overall program goals by administering their DBE program in good faith.

Flow Down
The DBE contracting requirements flow down to all third party contractors and their contracts at every tier. It is the
recipient's and prime contractor's responsibility to ensure the DBE requirements are applied across the board to all
subrecipients/contractors/subcontractors. Should a subcontractor fail to comply with the DBE regulations, FTA would look
to the recipient to make sure it intervenes to monitor compliance. The onus for compliance is on the recipient.
Clause Language
For all DOT -assisted contracts, each FTA recipient must include assurances that third party contractors will comply with the
DBE program requirements of 49 C.F.R. part 26, when applicable. The following contract clause is required in all DOT -
assisted prime and subcontracts:
The contractor, subrecipient or subcontractor shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the
performance of this contract. The contractor shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 C.F.R. part 26 in the award and
administration of DOT -assisted contracts. Failure by the contractor to carry out these requirements is a material breach of
this contract, which may result in the termination of this contract or such other remedy as the recipient deems appropriate,
which may include, but is not limited to:
1. Withholding monthly progress payments;
2. Assessing sanctions;
3. Liquidated damages; and/or
4. Disqualifying the contractor from future bidding as non -responsible. 49 C.F.R. § 26.13(b).
Further, recipients must establish a contract clause to require prime contractors to pay subcontractors for satisfactory
performance of their contracts no later than 30 days from receipt of each payment the recipient makes to the prime
contractor. 49 C.F.R. § 26.29(a). Finally, for contracts with defined DBE contract goals, each FTA recipient must include in
each prime contract a provision stating that the contractor shall utilize the specific DBEs listed unless the contractor obtains
the recipient's written consent; and that, unless the recipient's consent is provided, the contractor shall not be entitled to
any payment for work or material unless it is performed or supplied by the listed DBE. 49 C.F.R. § 26.53(f) (1).
As an additional resource, recipients can draw on the following language for inclusion in their federally funded
procurements.
Overview
It is the policy of the AGENCY and the United States Department of Transportation ("DOT") that Disadvantaged Business
Enterprises ("DBE's"), as defined herein and in the Federal regulations published at 49 C.F.R. part 26, shall have an equal
opportunity to participate in DOT -assisted contracts. It is also the policy of the AGENCY to:
1. Ensure nondiscrimination in the award and administration of DOT -assisted contracts;
2. Create a level playing field on which DBE's can compete fairly for DOT -assisted contracts;
3. Ensure that the DBE program is narrowly tailored in accordance with applicable law;
4. Ensure that only firms that fully meet 49 C.F.R. part 26 eligibility standards are permitted to participate as DBE's;
5. Help remove barriers to the participation of DBEs in DOT assisted contracts;
6. To promote the use of DBEs in all types of federally assisted contracts and procurement activities; and
7. Assist in the development of firms that can compete successfully in the marketplace outside the DBE program.
This Contract is subject to 49 C.F.R. part 26. Therefore, the Contractor must satisfy the requirements for DBE participation
as set forth herein. These requirements are in addition to all other equal opportunity employment requirements of this
Contract. The AGENCY shall make all determinations with regard to whether or not a Bidder/Offeror is in compliance with
the requirements stated herein. In assessing compliance, the AGENCY may consider during its review of the
Bidder/Offeror's submission package, the Bidder/Offeror's documented history of non-compliance with DBE requirements
on previous contracts with the AGENCY.
Contract Assurance
The Contractor, subrecipient or subcontractor shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the
performance of this Contract. The Contractor shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 C.F.R. part 26 in the award and
administration of DOT -assisted contracts. Failure by the Contractor to carry out these requirements is a material breach of
this Contract, which may result in the termination of this Contract or such other remedy as the AGENCY deems appropriate.
DBE Participation
For the purpose of this Contract, the AGENCY will accept only DBE's who are:
1. Certified, at the time of bid opening or proposal evaluation, by the [certifying agency or the Unified Certification
Program (UCP)]; or
2. An out-of-state firm who has been certified by either a local government, state government or Federal
government entity authorized to certify DBE status or an agency whose DBE certification process has received FTA
approval; or
3. Certified by another agency approved by the AGENCY.
DBE Participation Goal
The DBE participation goal for this Contract is set at %. This goal represents those elements of work under this Contract
performed by qualified Disadvantaged Business Enterprises for amounts totaling not Tess than 0% of the total Contract
price. Failure to meet the stated goal at the time of proposal submission may render the Bidder/Offeror non -responsive.
Proposed Submission
Each Bidder/Offeror, as part of its submission, shall supply the following information:
1. A completed DBE Utilization Form (see below) that indicates the percentage and dollar value of the total
bid/contract amount to be supplied by Disadvantaged Business Enterprises under this Contract.
2. A list of those qualified DBE's with whom the Bidder/Offeror intends to contract for the performance of portions
of the work under the Contract, the agreed price to be paid to each DBE for work, the Contract items or parts to be
performed by each DBE, a proposed timetable for the performance or delivery of the Contract item, and other
information as required by the DBE Participation Schedule (see below). No work shall be included in the Schedule
that the Bidder/Offeror has reason to believe the listed DBE will subcontract, at any tier, to other than another
DBE. If awarded the Contract, the Bidder/Offeror may not deviate from the DBE Participation Schedule submitted
in response to the bid. Any subsequent changes and/or substitutions of DBE firms will require review and written
approval by the AGENCY.
3. An original DBE Letter of Intent (see below) from each DBE listed in the DBE Participation Schedule.
4. An original DBE Affidavit (see below) from each DBE stating that there has not been any change in its status
since the date of its last certification.
Good Faith Efforts
If the Bidder/Offeror is unable to meet the goal set forth above (DBE Participation Goal), the AGENCY will consider the
Bidder/Offeror's documented good faith efforts to meet the goal in determining responsiveness. The types of actions that
the AGENCY will consider as part of the Bidder/Offeror's good faith efforts include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. Documented communication with the AGENCY's DBE Coordinator (questions of IFB or RFP requirements,
subcontracting opportunities, appropriate certification, will be addressed in a timely fashion);
2. Pre -bid meeting attendance. At the pre -bid meeting, the AGENCY generally informs potential Bidder/Offeror's of
DBE subcontracting opportunities;
3. The Bidder/Offeror's own solicitations to obtain DBE involvement in general circulation media, trade association
publication, minority -focus media and other reasonable and available means within sufficient time to allow DBEs
to respond to the solicitation;
4. Written notification to DBE's encouraging participation in the proposed Contract; and
5. Efforts made to identify specific portions of the work that might be performed by DBE's.
The Bidder/Offeror shall provide the following details, at a minimum, of the specific efforts it made to negotiate in good
faith with DBE's for elements of the Contract:
1. The names, addresses, and telephone numbers of DBE's that were contacted;
2. A description of the information provided to targeted DBE's regarding the specifications and bid proposals for
portions of the work;
3. Efforts made to assist DBE's contacted in obtaining bonding or insurance required by the Bidder or the
Authority.
Further, the documentation of good faith efforts must include copies of each DBE and non -DBE subcontractor quote
submitted when a non -DBE subcontractor was selected over a DBE for work on the contract. 49 C.F.R. § 26.53(b) (2) (VI). In
determining whether a Bidder has made good faith efforts, the Authority may take into account the performance of other
Bidders in meeting the Contract goals. For example, if the apparent successful Bidder failed to meet the goal, but meets or
exceeds the average DBE participation obtained by other Bidders, the Authority may view this as evidence of the Bidder
having made good faith efforts.
Administrative Reconsideration
Within five (5) business days of being informed by the AGENCY that it is not responsive or responsible because it has not
documented sufficient good faith efforts, the Bidder/Offeror may request administrative reconsideration. The Bidder
should make this request in writing to the AGENCY's [Contact Name]. The [Contact Name] will forward the Bidder/Offeror's
request to a reconsideration official who will not have played any role in the original determination that the Bidder/Offeror
did not document sufficient good faith efforts.
As part of this reconsideration, the Bidder/Offeror will have the opportunity to provide written documentation or argument
concerning the issue of whether it met the goal or made adequate good faith efforts to do so. The Bidder/Offeror will have
the opportunity to meet in person with the assigned reconsideration official to discuss the issue of whether it met the goal
or made adequate good faith efforts to do so. The AGENCY will send the Bidder/Offeror a written decision on its
reconsideration, explaining the basis for finding that the Bidder/Offeror did or did not meet the goal or make adequate
good faith efforts to do so. The result of the reconsideration process is not administratively appealable to the Department
of Transportation.
Termination of DBE Subcontractor
The Contractor shall not terminate the DBE subcontractor(s) listed in the DBE Participation Schedule (see below) without
the AGENCY's prior written consent. The AGENCY may provide such written consent only if the Contractor has good cause
to terminate the DBE firm. Before transmitting a request to terminate, the Contractor shall give notice in writing to the DBE
subcontractor of its intent to terminate and the reason for the request. The Contractor shall give the DBE five days to
respond to the notice and advise of the reasons why it objects to the proposed termination. When a DBE subcontractor is
terminated or fails to complete its work on the Contract for any reason, the Contractor shall make good faith efforts to find
another DBE subcontractor to substitute for the original DBE and immediately notify the AGENCY in writing of its efforts to
replace the original DBE. These good faith efforts shall be directed at finding another DBE to perform at least the same
amount of work under the Contract as the DBE that was terminated, to the extent needed to meet the Contract goal
established for this procurement. Failure to comply with these requirements will be in accordance with Section 8 below
(Sanctions for Violations).
Continued Compliance
The AGENCY shall monitor the Contractor's DBE compliance during the life of the Contract. In the event this procurement
exceeds ninety (90) days, it will be the responsibility of the Contractor to submit quarterly written reports to the AGENCY
that summarize the total DBE value for this Contract. These reports shall provide the following details:
• DBE utilization established for the Contract;
• Total value of expenditures with DBE firms for the quarter;
• The value of expenditures with each DBE firm for the quarter by race and gender;
• Total value of expenditures with DBE firms from inception of the Contract; and
• The value of expenditures with each DBE firm from the inception of the Contract by race and gender.
Reports and other correspondence must be submitted to the DBE Coordinator with copies provided to the [Agency Namel]
and [Agency Name2]. Reports shall continue to be submitted quarterly until final payment is issued or until DBE
participation is completed.

every mechanic and laborer, including watchmen and guards, on the basis of a standard work week of 40 hours.
Work in excess of the standard work week is permissible provided that the worker is compensated at a rate of not
less than one and a half times the basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of 40 hours in the work week.
The requirements of 40 U.S.C. § 3704 are applicable to construction work and provide that no laborer or mechanic

The Fly America requirements apply to the transportation of persons or property, by air, between a place in the
U.S. and a place outside the U.S., or between places outside the U.S., when the FTA will participate in the costs of
such air transportation. Transportation on a foreign air carrier is permissible when provided by a foreign air carrier
under a code share agreement when the ticket identifies the U.S. air carrier's designator code and flight number.
Transportation by a foreign air carrier is also permissible if there is a bilateral or multilateral air transportation
agreement to which the U.S. Government and a foreign government are parties and which the U.S. DOT has
determined meets the requirements of the Fly America Act.
Flow Down Requirements
The Fly America requirements flow down from FTA recipients and subrecipients to first tier contractors who are
responsible for ensuring that lower tier contractors and subcontractors are in compliance.
Model Clause/Language
The relevant statutes and regulations do not require any specific clause or language that recipients use in their
third party contracts. A sample clause is provided for Federal contracts at 48 C.F.R. 52.247-63. Recipients can draw
on the following language for inclusion in their federally funded procurements.
FTA proposes the following language, modified from the Federal clause.
FIy America Requirements
a) Definitions. As used in this clause --
"International air transportation" means transportation by air between a place in the United States and a
place outside the United States or between two places both of which are outside the United States.
"United States" means the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and outlying areas.
"U.S.-flag air carrier" means an air carrier holding a certificate under 49 U.S.C. Chapter 411.
b) When Federal funds are used to fund travel, Section 5 of the International Air Transportation Fair
Competitive Practices Act of 1974 (49 U.S.C. 40118) (FIy America Act) requires contractors, recipients, and
others use U.S.-flag air carriers for U.S. Government -financed international air transportation of personnel
(and their personal effects) or property, to the extent that service by those carriers is available. It requires
the Comptroller General of the United States, in the absence of satisfactory proof of the necessity for
foreign -flag air transportation, to disallow expenditures from funds, appropriated or otherwise
established for the account of the United States, for international air transportation secured aboard a
foreign -flag air carrier if a U.S.-flag air carrier is available to provide such services.
c) If available, the Contractor, in performing work under this contract, shall use U.S.-flag carriers for
international air transportation of personnel (and their personal effects) or property.
d) In the event that the Contractor selects a carrier other than a U.S.-flag air carrier for international air
transportation, the Contractor shall include a statement on vouchers involving such transportation
essentially as follows:
Statement of Unavailability of U.S.-Flag Air Carriers
International air transportation of persons (and their personal effects) or property by U.S.-flag air carrier was not
available or it was necessary to use foreign -flag air carrier service for the following reasons. See FAR § 47.403.
[State reasons]:
(End of statement)
e) The Contractor shall include the substance of this clause, including this paragraph (e), in each
subcontract or purchase under this contract that may involve international air transportation.

Executive Order 12689
Background and Applicability
A contract award (of any tier) in an amount expected to equal or exceed $25,000 or a contract award at any tier
for a federally required audit (irrespective of the contract amount) must not be made to parties listed on the
government -wide exclusions in the System for Award Management (SAM), in accordance with the OMB guidelines
at 2 C.F.R. part 180. The Excluded Parties List System in SAM contains the names of parties debarred, suspended,
or otherwise excluded by agencies, as well as parties declared ineligible under statutory or regulatory authority
other than Executive Order 12549.
Recipients, contractors, and subcontractors (at any level) that enter into covered transactions are required to
verify that the entity (as well as its principals and affiliates) with which they propose to contract or subcontract is
not excluded or disqualified. This is done by: (a) checking the SAM exclusions; (b) collecting a certification from
that person; or (c) adding a clause or condition to the contract or subcontract.
Flow Down
Recipients, contractors, and subcontractors who enter into covered transactions with a participant at the next
lower level, must require that participant to: (a) comply with subpart C of 2 C.F.R. part 180, as supplemented by 2
C.F.R. part 1200; and (b) pass the requirement to comply with subpart C of 2 C.F.R. part 180 to each person with
whom the participant enters into a covered transaction at the next lower tier.
Model Clause/Language
There is no required language for the Debarment and Suspension clause. Recipients can draw on the following
language for inclusion in their federally funded procurements.
Debarment, Suspension, Ineligibility and Voluntary Exclusion
The Contractor shall comply and facilitate compliance with U.S. DOT regulations, "Nonprocurement Suspension
and Debarment," 2 C.F.R. part 1200, which adopts and supplements the U.S. Office of Management and Budget
(U.S. OMB) "Guidelines to Agencies on Governmentwide Debarment and Suspension (Nonprocurement)," 2 C.F.R.
part 180. These provisions apply to each contract at any tier of $25,000 or more, and to each contract at any tier
for a federally required audit (irrespective of the contract amount), and to each contract at any tier that must be
approved by an FTA official irrespective of the contract amount. As such, the Contractor shall verify that its
principals, affiliates, and subcontractors are eligible to participate in this federally funded contract and are not
presently declared by any Federal department or agency to be:
a) Debarred from participation in any federally assisted Award;
b) Suspended from participation in any federally assisted Award;
c) Proposed for debarment from participation in any federally assisted Award;
d) Declared ineligible to participate in any federally assisted Award;
e) Voluntarily excluded from participation in any federally assisted Award; or
f) Disqualified from participation in ay federally assisted Award.
By signing and submitting its bid or proposal, the bidder or proposer certifies as follows:
The certification in this clause is a material representation of fact relied upon by the AGENCY. If it is later
determined by the AGENCY that the bidder or proposer knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in addition
to remedies available to the AGENCY, the Federal Government may pursue available remedies, including but not
limited to suspension and/or debarment. The bidder or proposer agrees to comply with the requirements of 2
C.F.R. part 180, subpart C, as supplemented by 2 C.F.R. part 1200, while this offer is valid and throughout the
period of any contract that may arise from this offer. The bidder or proposer further agrees to include a provision
requiring such compliance in its lower tier covered transactions.

Model Clause/Language

inclusion in their federally funded procurements. The following contract language shall apply:
Termination for Convenience (General Provision)
The AGENCY may terminate this contract, in whole or in part, at any time by written notice to the Contractor when
it is in the AGENCY's best interest. The Contractor shall be paid its costs, including contract close-out costs, and
profit on work performed up to the time of termination. The Contractor shall promptly submit its termination
claim to AGENCY to be paid the Contractor. If the Contractor has any property in its possession belonging to
AGENCY, the Contractor will account for the same, and dispose of it in the manner AGENCY directs.
Termination for Default [Breach or Cause] (General Provision)
If the Contractor does not deliver supplies in accordance with the contract delivery schedule, or if the contract is
for services, the Contractor fails to perform in the manner called for in the contract, or if the Contractor fails to
comply with any other provisions of the contract, the AGENCY may terminate this contract for default. Termination
shall be effected by serving a Notice of Termination on the Contractor setting forth the manner in which the
Contractor is in default. The Contractor will be paid only the contract price for supplies delivered and accepted, or
services performed in accordance with the manner of performance set forth in the contract.
If it is later determined by the AGENCY that the Contractor had an excusable reason for not performing, such as a
strike, fire, or flood, events which are not the fault of or are beyond the control of the Contractor, the AGENCY,
after setting up a new delivery of performance schedule, may allow the Contractor to continue work, or treat the
termination as a Termination for Convenience.
Opportunity to Cure (General Provision)
The AGENCY, in its sole discretion may, in the case of a termination for breach or default, allow the Contractor [an
appropriately short period of time] in which to cure the defect. In such case, the Notice of Termination will state
the time period in which cure is permitted and other appropriate conditions
If Contractor fails to remedy to AGENCY's satisfaction the breach or default of any of the terms, covenants, or
conditions of this Contract within [10 days] after receipt by Contractor of written notice from AGENCY setting forth
the nature of said breach or default, AGENCY shall have the right to terminate the contract without any further
obligation to Contractor. Any such termination for default shall not in any way operate to preclude AGENCY from
also pursuing all available remedies against Contractor and its sureties for said breach or default.
Waiver of Remedies for any Breach
In the event that AGENCY elects to waive its remedies for any breach by Contractor of any covenant, term or
condition of this contract, such waiver by AGENCY shall not limit AGENCY's remedies for any succeeding breach of
that or of any other covenant, term, or condition of this contract.
Termination for Default (Supplies and Service)
If the Contractor fails to deliver supplies or to perform the services within the time specified in this contract or any
extension, or if the Contractor fails to comply with any other provisions of this contract, the AGENCY may
terminate this contract for default. The AGENCY shall terminate by delivering to the Contractor a Notice of
Termination specifying the nature of the default. The Contractor will only be paid the contract price for supplies
delivered and accepted, or services performed in accordance with the manner or performance set forth in this
contract.
If, after termination for failure to fulfill contract obligations, it is determined that the Contractor was not in default,
the rights and obligations of the parties shall be the same as if the termination had been issued for the
convenience of the AGENCY.
A.26 VIOLATION AND BREACH OF CONTRACT
2 C.F.R. § 200.326
2 C.F.R. part 200, Appendix II (A)

provide for such sanctions and penalties as appropriate.
Flow Down

circumstances and the type of contract. Recipients should consult legal counsel in developing appropriate clauses.
The following clauses are examples of provisions from various FTA third party contracts. Recipients can draw on
these examples for inclusion in their federally funded procurements.
Rights and Remedies of the AGENCY
The AGENCY shall have the following rights in the event that the AGENCY deems the Contractor guilty of a breach
of any term under the Contract.
1. The right to take over and complete the work or any part thereof as agency for and at the expense of
the Contractor, either directly or through other contractors;
2. The right to cancel this Contract as to any or all of the work yet to be performed;
3. The right to specific performance, an injunction or any other appropriate equitable remedy; and
4. The right to money damages.
For purposes of this Contract, breach shall include [AGENCY to define].
Rights and Remedies of Contractor
Inasmuch as the Contractor can be adequately compensated by money damages for any breach of this Contract,
which may be committed by the AGENCY, the Contractor expressly agrees that no default, act or omission of the
AGENCY shall constitute a material breach of this Contract, entitling Contractor to cancel or rescind the Contract
(unless the AGENCY directs Contractor to do so) or to suspend or abandon performance.
Remedies
Substantial failure of the Contractor to complete the Project in accordance with the terms of this Agreement will
be a default of this Agreement. In the event of a default, the AGENCY will have all remedies in law and equity,
including the right to specific performance, without further assistance, and the rights to termination or suspension
as provided herein. The Contractor recognizes that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by the Contractor
before the AGENCY takes action contemplated herein, the AGENCY will provide the Contractor with sixty (60) days
written notice that the AGENCY considers that such a breach has occurred and will provide the Contractor a
reasonable period of time to respond and to take necessary corrective action.
Disputes
• Example 1: Disputes arising in the performance of this Contract that are not resolved by agreement of the parties
shall be decided in writing by the authorized representative of AGENCY's [title of employee]. This decision shall be
final and conclusive unless within [10] days from the date of receipt of its copy, the Contractor mails or otherwise
furnishes a written appeal to the [title of employee]. In connection with any such appeal, the Contractor shall be
afforded an opportunity to be heard and to offer evidence in support of its position. The decision of the [title of
employee] shall be binding upon the Contractor and the Contractor shall abide be the decision.
• Example 2: The AGENCY and the Contractor intend to resolve all disputes under this Agreement to the best of
their abilities in an informal manner. To accomplish this end, the parties will use an Alternative Dispute Resolution
process to resolve disputes in a manner designed to avoid litigation. In general, the parties contemplate that the
Alternative Dispute Resolution process will include, at a minimum, an attempt to resolve disputes through
communications between their staffs, and, if resolution is not reached at that level, a procedure for review and
action on such disputes by appropriate management level officials within the AGENCY and the Contractor's
organization.
In the event that a resolution of the dispute is not mutually agreed upon, the parties can agree to mediate the
dispute or proceed with litigation. Notwithstanding any provision of this section, or any other provision of this
Contract, it is expressly agreed and understood that any court proceeding arising out of a dispute under the
Contract shall be heard by a Court de novo and the court shall not be limited in such proceeding to the issue of
whether the Authority acted in an arbitrary, capricious or grossly erroneous manner.
Pending final settlement of any dispute, the parties shall proceed diligently with the performance of the Contract,
and in accordance with the AGENCY's direction or decisions made thereof.
Performance during Dispute
Unless otherwise directed by AGENCY, Contractor shall continue performance under this Contract while matters in
dispute are being resolved.
Claims for Damages
Should either party to the Contract suffer injury or damage to person or property because of any act or omission of
the party or of any of its employees, agents or others for whose acts it is legally liable, a claim for damages
therefor shall be made in writing to such other party within a reasonable time after the first observance of such
injury or damage.
Remedies
Unless this Contract provides otherwise, all claims, counterclaims, disputes and other matters in question between
the AGENCY and the Contractor arising out of or relating to this agreement or its breach will be decided by
arbitration if the parties mutually agree, or in a court of competent jurisdiction within the State in which the
AGENCY is located.
Rights and Remedies
The duties and obligations imposed by the Contract documents and the rights and remedies available thereunder
shall be in addition to and not a limitation of any duties, obligations, rights and remedies otherwise imposed or
available by law. No action or failure to act by the AGENCY or Contractor shall constitute a waiver of any right or
duty afforded any of them under the Contract, nor shall any such action or failure to act constitute an approval of
or acquiescence in any breach thereunder, except as may be specifically agreed in writing.
