Credit for Supplies
The department will give 100% credit toward the DBE goal if the DBE is a manufacturer or fabricator of their materials or
supplies. The department will give 60% credit or brokerage fee set by industry’s standard toward the DBE goal if the DBE
is only a supplier of these materials or supplies. Drop shipment by a supplier will earn a 10% DBE credit. It is the Prime
Contractor’s responsibility to use the UCP Directory to confirm that the DBE is considered a supplier or a manufacturer
before listing them on this form. WisDOT will adjust the credit, if required, when approving the form.
After completing the form, if it does not indicate that the DBE goal has been met, complete and submit Documentation of
Good Faith Efforts form (DT1202) with the bid. Supplemental GFE documentation must be submitted as described in
ASP-3.
Credit for Trucking
DBE crediting for the trucking industry is achieved in the following manner:
a. A minimum of one truck owned by the DBE must be used on the contract
b. 100% DBE credit is given for DBE-owned trucks and trucks leased from another DBE
c. Trucks leased by a DBE from non-DBE firms will be given DBE credit of 10% of the subcontract value
All trucks used for credit must be listed and approved on the DBE firm’s Schedule of Owned/Leased Vehicles for DBE
Credit and/or a WisDOT approved trucking utilization plan
It is the Prime Contractor’s and the DBE firm’s responsibility to ensure that utilization of trucks and the DBE credit earned
is in accordance with the above and will yield the subcontract dollar value listed on the Commitment to Subcontract to
DBE form.
