As this is a federally financed project, it is the policy of USDOT and the City to provide DBEs with an equal opportunity to participate in the performance of federally financed contracts and subcontracts. There is no specific DBE participation goal on this Project; however, the Public Works Department has an overall 8.6% DBE goal it must achieve. PSA Contractors , Inc has listed Blue Marlin Engineering, LLC (DBE) and JBS Engineering Technical Services, Inc (DBE) as the DBE firms to be utilized for this project. |
Recommended Action:
Approval of the Advisory Committee's ranking and approval for City staff to proceed with negotiations with the top ranked firm, PSA Constructors, Inc. Should negotiations with the top ranked firm prove unsuccessful, approve negotiations with successively ranked firms until a successful agreement is reached. |
