Section XIX-131 - List of Certified SDBE Firms

1. A listing of certified SDBEs is maintained by the safety programs Section. The listing contains the name and basic identifying data of each SDBE. Separate lists are maintained for construction and consulting firms.

2. In addition to the name, address, phone number and contact person for each firm, the list includes the type of work capabilities in which the firms have past experience and in which the department's CRT has approved the firms participation for goal credit.

3. The list is not an endorsement or guarantee of the capability, dependability, or availability of any business listed. Listing assures only that the business has been certified eligible and will, if employed on a department project, serve toward fulfillment of contract goals. The certified SDBE must perform a commercially useful function in order to be credited toward contract goals and retain certification.

1. The safety programs Section compiles, maintains and updates a monthly list from information contained in the minutes of the CRT meetings.

2. The safety programs Section makes copies of its listing available, at no cost, to its bidders, contractors and other interested parties to facilitate identifying certified SDBE relevant to general contracting requirements and particular solicitations.
