DSB EQUITY STATEMENT

Diversity emphasis in Designer Selection:
The Commonwealth is committed to helping address the disparity in the participation of minorities and women in design. We would like to point out a couple of areas in the current DCAMM and other Public Agency Public Notice to promote this effort.

In the Affirmative Marketing Section of the Public Notice – The goals for MBE and WBE participation described, but a ‘Diversity Focus Statement’ is also required. The statement is an opportunity for the prime firm applicant to describe their approach to diversity in their firm and in the formulation of the applicant’s teams. We encourage creativity in forming teams, and in dividing up the anticipated work of the projects.

SECTION 5 in the application form is the space to provide ‘any additional information or description of resources supporting the qualifications of your firm and that of your subconsultants for the proposed project. This is also the identified space to include the prime firm applicant’s Diversity Focus Statement in addition to other materials responding to the evaluation factors and experience requested in the Public Notice.

MBW/WBE PARTICIPATION

Applicants are strongly encouraged to use multiple disciplines and firms to meet their MBE/WBE goals. Firms can also apply as a Prime Firm to meet the goals. Prime consultants can also join together with another firm to be SDO certified as a "joint venture" within their disciplines in order to meet the MBE/WBE goals.
