Overview
It is the policy of SCDOT to assure affirmative compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, and related statutes and regulations. The assurances previously given by the Federal Highway Administration are hereby reaffirmed and extend to the Federal Transit Administration.

DBE Quarterly Reports
The participation of the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise is determined by evaluating the prime contractor's actual payments to the DBE. The prime contractor is obligated under rules set forth by the South Carolina Department of Transportation when reporting and receiving credit towards the DBE contract goal. The contractor must give an account of these amounts on the Quarterly Report.

DBE Closeout Summary Request
Once DBE participation on the project is completed, a request is made to close and reconcile DBE participation to determine if goals and commitments were met. Quarterly Reports submitted over the duration of the project are reviewed to verify DBE payments and reconciled with request for DBE closeout.
