Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Participation Support

The contract seeks a certified Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) to serve as a subcontractor in engineering, architecture, or surveying services to assist the prime contractor in meeting federally mandated DBE participation goals. The work is tied to a project administered by the Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority (LAVTA) with performance centered in Livermore, California, under the NAICS code 541330 for architectural and engineering services. Participation requires the DBE to provide verified, eligible professional services that directly contribute to the prime’s compliance with DBE utilization requirements under federal transportation funding programs. The subcontract is not a standalone project but a support role integral to the prime’s ability to fulfill contractual obligations related to diversity and inclusion in public infrastructure projects. Responses are due by August 14, 2026, and the opportunity was posted on July 3, 2026. The contract type is explicitly a subcontract, and while no set-aside designation is specified, eligibility is restricted to firms that are certified as DBEs through a federally approved program. The place of performance is localized to Livermore with a postal code of 94551, and all work must be conducted in alignment with agency standards for DBE participation. Interested firms must be prepared to demonstrate current DBE certification, relevant technical expertise in engineering, architecture, or surveying, and the capacity to integrate seamlessly with the prime contractor’s project team.
