Counting Overview

Once TxDOT determines that work on a project qualifies as a CUF, it then calculates the amount it can count toward its DBE goal. Only the value of the work performed by the DBE firm counts toward the goal. Depending on the nature of the work, different guidance applies.
The following is guidance for counting participation when a DBE firm is:
  • DBE Subcontractor
  • Manufacturer
  • Regular Dealer
  • Packager, Broker, Manufacturer’s Representative
  • Trucking Firm
  • Joint Venture
