We are pre-qualified with GDOT in:

We are DBE-certified in Georgia and New York.

  • Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) certification is a federal program designed to ensure non-discrimination and create equal opportunities for small, minority, and women-owned businesses in federally assisted contracts for highway, transit, and aviation projects.

  • A business must be at least 51% owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged U.S. citizens, meet small business size standards, and have owners with a personal net worth under a stipulated threshold.


    DBE eligibility rules are established by the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) through federal regulations, specifically 49 CFR Part 26. State transportation agencies, operating through a Unified Certification Program (UCP) in each state, are responsible for implementing and certifying firms according to these federal standards.

  • DBE certification is relevant in transportation planning whenever agencies use federal funds for projects, including planning, engineering, or consulting services. State and local transportation agencies are required by the U.S. Department of Transportation to set overall DBE participation goals—often between 10% and 23%—based on the availability of qualified DBE firms in the local market.

    When grants or project notices are issued, agencies specify DBE participation goals for each contract or project. Prime consultants pursuing these opportunities must either meet the DBE goal by subcontracting a portion of the work to certified DBE firms or demonstrate good faith efforts to do so. This process ensures fair competition and inclusion of disadvantaged businesses in federally funded transportation planning projects.
