Notice of Proposed DBE Goals

Notice is hereby given that in accordance with US DOT regulation 49 CFR Part 26, Casco Bay Island Transit District (CBITD) has established a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program to incorporate disadvantaged business participation in projects funded in whole or in part with Federal Transit Administration funds. For Federal Fiscal Years 2023-2025 (October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2025) CBITD has established an annual DBE goal of .6%. CBITD intends to meet this entire goal using race/gender neutral measures. The goal has been submitted to the Federal Transit Administration and if approved will remain in effect through September 30, 2025. CBITD must meet this goal each federal fiscal year. If the goal is not met, CBITD must provide a justification for not meeting the goal and provide a plan to ensure the goal is met, which may include contract goals on certain projects that contractors will be required to meet. Contractors/providers should examine each element of work on all Federally Funded projects for DBE subcontracting or sub-consulting opportunities. CBITD asks all contractors, consultants and subcontractors to seek certified DBE firms for projects and to work to meet the determined .6% goal without the need to impose contract goals. DBE firms are listed on the MaineDOT website at http://www.maine.gov/mdot/civilrights/dbe/.

Interested parties may obtain a copy of CBITD’s DBE goal setting methodology by contacting CBITD’s DBELO llisted below. The FTA and CBITD will accept comments for 45 days from the date of this notice. CBITD solicits and encourages Disadvantaged Business Enterprises and Women Business Enterprise participation in all federally funded projects. If you have questions or comments regarding this goal or the DBE program you may contact Michael Bryand, Assistant Operations Manager/DBELO by telephone at (207) 774-7871 ext 133 or by e-mail at: moc.s1729014809enily1729014809abocs1729014809ac@be1729014809kim1729014809
