View DBE Participations or MBE-WBE Commitments for a Project

Description

This function allows authorized users to view the list of DBE Participations for Federal Projects (Attachment A's) or MBE/WBE Commitments for State Projects (EO-32s) associated with a low bidder (including any bidder whose bid was rejected or withdrawn) or with the current construction contract. Because both historical and current data is maintained in the system, three separate methods of navigation may be required, depending on which data you wish to view.

To view the participation and commitment forms submitted by an apparent low bidder during the Contract Awards process, the user must access the screens from the hyperlinks on the Contract Awards screen associated with that bidder. If the bidder is currently the apparent low bidder or was ultimately awarded the contract, the user can access the Contract Awards screen from any Go link containing that option.

However, if you wish to view the participation and commitment forms submitted during the Contract Awards process for a bidder who was subsequently rejected or allowed to withdraw their bid, you must access the screen from the Business Partner Name link on the Bid Results screen. The Bid Results screen itself is accessed from the Search function on the Electronic Bidding home page.

To view the current participation and commitment forms, which may include forms that were submitted or revised after the contract was awarded, you can use the DBE Participation - MBE/WBE Commitments Go link on any screen containing that option.
