Section 5: Daily Monitoring

District staff should note on their daily work reports work performed by DBEs. The following observations should be noted in the daily work reports specific to their operations:
  • The names of the DBEs working on the project.
  • Does the DBE have a foreman supervising the work or is the prime contractor or another subcontractor supervising the DBE’s work?
    • Note the name of the foreman and who he works for.
  • Is the DBE using its own equipment or that of the prime contractor?
    • Note the company name on the equipment being used by the DBE.
  • Is the DBE performing the work it was subcontracted to do or is the prime contractor or another subcontractor performing the work?
    • Note the general description of the work the DBE subcontractor is performing or note if the prime contractor or another subcontractor is performing work that the DBE should be performing.
  • Are the DBE’s employees performing the DBE’s work?
    • Note if the DBE and prime contractor or other subcontractors are sharing employees.
If the project site inspector has reason to believe the DBE subcontractor is not performing a CUF, document the observations and bring them to the attention of the DDC and DOC for further investigation and action.
