Force Account Work When the Contractor elects to utilize force account Work to meet the DBE 1 COA Goal, as demonstrated by listing this force account Work on the DBE Utilization Certification Form, for the purposes of meeting DBE COA Goal, only 50% of the Proposal amount shall be credited toward the Contractors Commitment to meet the DBE COA Goal. One hundred percent of the actual amounts paid to the DBE for the force account Work shall be credited towards DBE COA Goal. Flagging If the DBE firm is being utilized in the capacity of "Flagging" only, the DBE firm must provide a Traffic Control Supervisor (TCS) and flagger, which are under the direct control of the DBE. The DBE firm will also provide all flagging equipment (e.g. paddles, hard hats, and vests). If the DBE firm is being utilized in the capacity of"Traffic Control Services", the DBE firm must provide a TCS, flaggers, and traffic control items (e.g. cones, barrels, signs, etc.) and be in total control of all items in implementing the traffic control for the project. If the DBE firm utilizes the Contractor's equipment, such as Transportable Attenuators and Portable Changeable Message Signs (PCMS) no DBE credit can be taken for supplying and operating the items. Trucking The DBE trucking firm must own and operate at least one licensed, insured and operational truck on the contract. The DBE receives credit for the value of the transportation services it provides on the Contract using trucks it owns, ' licenses, insures, and operates with drivers it employs. The DBE may lease trucks from another DBE firm. The Work that a DBE trucking firm performs with trucks it leases from other certified DBE trucking firms qualify for 100% DBE credit. The DBE may lease trucks from a non-DBE truck leasing company, but can only receive DBE credit for the value of the hauling services if the DBE uses its own employees as drivers. The trucking Work subcontracted to any non-DBE trucking firm will not receive credit for Work done on the project. Truck registration and lease agreements shall be readily available at the project site for the Engineer review. DBE participation of trucking firms can only be applied to the value of the hauling services, not for the materials being hauled (unless the trucking firm is also certified as a supplier).
