49 C.F.R. § 26.11 What records do recipients keep and report?
Title 49 - Transportation
(a) [Reserved] (b) You must continue to provide data about your DBE program to the Department as directed by DOT operating administrations. (c) You must create and maintain a bidders list. (1) The purpose of this list is to provide you as accurate data as possible about the universe of DBE and non-DBE contractors and subcontractors who seek to work on your Federally-assisted contracts for use in helping you set your overall goals. (2) You must obtain the following information about DBE and non-DBE contractors and subcontractors who seek to work on your Federally-assisted contracts: (i) Firm name; (ii) Firm address; (iii) Firm's status as a DBE or non-DBE; (iv) Age of the firm; and (v) The annual gross receipts of the firm. You may obtain this information by asking each firm to indicate into what gross receipts bracket they fit (e.g., less than $500,000; $500,000–$1 million; $1–2 million; $2–5 million; etc.) rather than requesting an exact figure from the firm. (3) You may acquire the information for your bidders list in a variety of ways. For example, you can collect the data from all bidders, before or after the bid due date. You can conduct a survey that will result in statistically sound estimate of the universe of DBE and non-DBE contractors and subcontractors who seek to work on your Federally-assisted contracts. You may combine different data collection approaches (e.g., collect name and address information from all bidders, while conducting a survey with respect to age and gross receipts information).
