Page 9 of 16
A. This contract is subject to 49 CFR, Part 26 entitled “Participation by Disadvantaged Business Enterprises in
Department of Transportation Financial Assistance Programs”. Consultants who obtain DBE participation on
this contract will assist Caltrans in meeting its federally mandated statewide overall DBE goal.
B. The goal for DBE participation for this contract shall be that stated in the Contract Documents at the time of
advertisement. Participation by DBE consultant or Subconsultants shall be in accordance with information
contained in the Consultant Proposal DBE Commitment (Exhibit 10-O1), or in the Consultant Contract DBE
Information (Exhibit 10-O2) attached hereto and incorporated as part of the Contract. If a DBE Subconsultant
is unable to perform, CONSULTANT must make a good faith effort to replace him/her with another DBE
Subconsultant, if the goal is not otherwise met.
C. DBEs and other small businesses, as defined in 49 CFR, Part 26 are encouraged to participate in the performance
of contracts financed in whole or in part with federal funds. CONSULTANT or Subconsultant shall not
discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the performance of this contract.
CONSULTANT shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 CFR, Part 26 in the award and administration of
US DOT-assisted agreements. Failure by CONSULTANT to carry out these requirements is a material breach
of this contract, which may result in the termination of this contract or such other remedy as LOCAL AGENCY
deems appropriate.
D. Any subcontract entered into as a result of this contract shall contain all of the provisions of this section.
E. A DBE firm may be terminated only with prior written approval from LOCAL AGENCY and only for the
reasons specified in 49 CFR 26.53(f). Prior to requesting LOCAL AGENCY consent for the termination,
CONSULTANT must meet the procedural requirements specified in 49 CFR 26.53(f).
F. A DBE performs a Commercially Useful Function (CUF) when it is responsible for execution of the work of
the contract and is carrying out its responsibilities by actually performing, managing, and supervising the work
involved. To perform a CUF, the DBE must also be responsible with respect to materials and supplies used on
the contract, for negotiating price, determining quality and quantity, ordering the material, and installing (where
applicable) and paying for the material itself. To determine whether a DBE is performing a CUF, evaluate the
amount of work subcontracted, industry practices, whether the amount the firm is to be paid under the, contract
is commensurate with the work it is actually performing, and other relevant factors.
G. A DBE does not perform a CUF if its role is limited to that of an extra participant in a transaction, contract, or
project through which funds are passed in order to obtain the appearance of DBE participation. In determining
whether a DBE is such an extra participant, examine similar transactions, particularly those in which DBEs do
not participate.
H. If a DBE does not perform or exercise responsibility for at least thirty percent (30%) of the total cost of its
contract with its own work force, or the DBE subcontracts a greater portio n of the work of the contract than
would be expected on the basis of normal industry practice for the type of work involved, it will be presumed
that it is not performing a CUF.
I. CONSULTANT shall maintain records of materials purchased or supplied from all subcontracts entered into
with certified DBEs. The records shall show the name and business address of each DBE or vendor and the
total dollar amount actually paid each DBE or vendor, regardless of tier. The records shall show the date of
payment and the total dollar figure paid to all firms. DBE prime consultants shall also show the date of work
performed by their own forces along with the corresponding dollar value of the work.
J. Upon completion of the Contract, a summary of these records shall be prepared and submitted on the form
entitled, “Final Report-Utilization of Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE), First-Tier Subconsultants”
CEM-2402F [Exhibit 17-F, of the LAPM], certified correct by CONSULTANT or CONSULTANT’s
authorized representative and shall be furnished to the Contract Administrator with the final invoice. Failure
to provide the summary of DBE payments with the final invoice will result in twenty-five percent (25%) of the
dollar value of the invoice being withheld from payment until the form is submitted. The amount will be
Page 10 of 16

dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence/two million dollars ($2,000,000) aggregate, for death, bodily injury, personal
injury, or property damage.
2. An automobile liability (owned, non-owned, and hired vehicles) insurance policy in the
minimum amount of one million dollars ($1,000,000) dollars per occurrence.
3. If any licensed professional performs any of the services required to be performed under
this Agreement, a professional liability insurance policy in the minimum amount of two million dollars ($2,000,000)
per occurrence/four million dollars ($4,000,000) aggregate, to cover any claims arising out of the CONSULTANT's
performance of services under this Agreement. Where CONTRACTOR is a professional not required to have a
professional license, LOCAL AGENCY reserves the right to require CONTRACTOR to provide professional
liability insurance pursuant to this section.
4. If it employs any person, CONSULTANT shall maintain worker's compensation insurance,
as required by the State of California, with statutory limits, and employer’s liability insurance with limits of no less
than one million dollars ($1,000,000) per accident for bodily injury or disease. CONSULTANT’s worker’s
compensation insurance shall be specifically endorsed to waive any right of subrogation against LOCAL AGENCY.

1. Except for professional liability insurance or worker’s compensation insurance, the
insurance policies shall be specifically endorsed to include the LOCAL AGENCY, its officers, agents, employees,

Page 12 of 16
4. By execution of this contract, CONSULTANT hereby grants to LOCAL AGENCY a
waiver of any right to subrogation which any insurer of CONSULTANT may acquire against LOCAL AGENCY
by virtue of the payment of any loss under such insurance. CONSULTANT agrees to obtain any endorsement that
may be necessary to effect this waiver of subrogation, but this provision applies regardless of whether or not
LOCAL AGENCY has received a waiver of subrogation endorsement from the insurer.

contract, said insurance coverage shall survive for a period of not less than five years.
6. The insurance policies shall provide for a retroactive date of placement coinciding with the

and umbrella or excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a
provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and noncontributory basis for the benefit of LOCAL

insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.
8. It shall be a requirement under this contract that any available insurance proceeds broader
than or in excess of the specified minimum insurance coverage requirements and/or limits shall be available to

insured party. At LOCAL AGENCY's option, the deductibles or self-insured retentions with respect to LOCAL
AGENCY shall be reduced or eliminated to LOCAL AGENCY's satisfaction, or CONSULTANT shall procure a
bond guaranteeing payment of losses and related investigations, claims administration, attorney's fees and defense
expenses.

same requirements and provisions of this contract regarding indemnity and insurance to the extent they apply to the
scope of the subcontractor’s work. Subcontractors hired by CONSULTANT agree to be bound to CONSULTANT and
LOCAL AGENCY in the same manner and to the same extent as CONSULTANT is bound to LOCAL AGENCY

Page 13 of 16
endorsements for the commercial general liability policy, and (3) excerpts of policy language or specific
endorsements evidencing the other insurance requirements set forth in this contract. LOCAL AGENCY reserves
the right to obtain a full certified copy of any insurance policy and endorsements from CONSULTANT. Failure to
exercise this right shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise it later. The insurance shall be approved as
to form and sufficiency by the Contract Administrator and the City Attorney.
