Small Business Participation Reporting & Compliance

The contract requires comprehensive tracking, documentation, and reporting of subcontracting activities to ensure full compliance with the City of Phoenix Small Business Participation Plan and the DBE-N Program. This includes maintaining meticulous, audit-ready records that demonstrate adherence to state and local goals for small business and disadvantaged business enterprise participation across all qualifying projects under the Public Transit agency in Arizona. All subcontracting obligations must be monitored throughout the lifecycle of the work, with regular reporting to confirm that target participation rates are being met and that all necessary certifications and verifications are current and properly maintained. The work spans the period from the contract posting date in August 2026 through the response deadline in September 2026, with performance likely extending beyond this timeframe to cover ongoing project execution. The North American Industry Classification System code 541611 indicates the scope is related to management, scientific, and technical consulting services, suggesting the subcontracting activities involve professional services contracted by the transit agency. The contractor must ensure all processes are transparent, defensible, and fully aligned with Phoenix’s specific compliance frameworks, with an emphasis on accuracy, timeliness, and readiness for external audits or reviews by city officials or regulatory bodies.
