Invoices received without a valid purchase order number will not be processed for payment.

If no payment terms are printed on an invoice, it will be scheduled for payment in accordance with the industry standard of net 30 days.

Sales Tax: By Iowa Code, the City is exempt from state/local sales tax charges.

CITY OF DAVENPORT 
 
DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE PROGRAM 
 
POLICY 
 
It is the policy of the City of Davenport that Disa dvantaged Business Enterprises  (DBEs) 
shall have an equal opportunity to participate in the performance of contracts.  Every effort 
must be made by prime contractors to ensure that DBE’s have this opportunity.  Contractors 
must make good faith efforts in securing DBE contra ctors.  The following should be used as 
applicable to each project: 
 
• Developing solicitations of subcontract bids to inc rease potential participation.  This 
may take the form of breaking down large subcontrac ts into smaller ones, and of 
issuing notice of solicitations in a timely manner. 
• Providing technical assistance and guidance in the bidding, estimating, and scheduling 
processes. 
• Considering purchasing supplies and/or leasing the required equipment for a job, 
then subcontracting only for the expertise or labor required to perform the work. 
• Providing accelerated payments or establishing pror ated payment and delivery 
schedules so as to minimize cash flow problems faced by small firms. 
• Providing for waiving or reducing subcontractor bonding requirements. 
• Providing a pre-bid conference for potential subcontractors. 
• Advertising in trade association newsletters and mi nority-oriented and general 
circulation media of potential opportunities or projects. 
• Notifying minority contractor assistance agencies o f potential opportunities or 
projects. 
• Reviewing the State of Iowa’s approved DBE directory. 
 
CONTRACTOR PARTICIPATION IN THE DBE PROGRAM 
 
Contractors submitting bids for major construction projects, including demolition, must 
submit the Work Types and DBE Contact forms.  These forms are to be used to record each 
work type being subcontracted and contacts made wit h DBE firms.  The forms must be 
completed as fully as possible.  The information on this form is subject to verification. 
 
In cases where the City’s review of a bidder’s DBE form concludes that there is a 
deficiency, the bidder will be instructed to submit  a modification of the form which 
remedies the deficiencies cited.  All terms and con ditions stipulated for prospective DBE 
subcontractors or suppliers should be satisfactoril y negotiated prior to the submission of a 
bid to the City whenever possible. 
 
 
 
 
 
DBE SUBSTITUTIONS 
 
After submitting a bid, the contractor may not chan ge DBE’s, reduce the scope of work, or 
decrease the price without receiving prior written approval from the City.  In some cases, it 
may be necessary to substitute a new DBE in order t o have DBE participation.  In such 
cases, the City will be given reasons justifying th e release of prior DBE commitments 
specified in the contractor’s bid proposal.  Genera lly, a substitution may be considered 
because: 
 
• The DBE was found to be unable to perform the work under the subcontract; 
• The DBE could not perform the work on time; 
• The DBE could not produce acceptable work; 
• The DBE demanded an unreasonable escalation in the negotiated price. 
 
The substitution procedure will be as follows: 
 
• The contractor must notify the City immediately in writing of an apparent necessity 
to reduce or terminate a DBE subcontract and to propose a substitute DBE; 
• The contractor’s notification must include the name , address, and principal official 
of any proposed substitute DBE, and the dollar valu e and scope of work of the 
proposed subcontract; 
• The City will evaluate the submitted documentation and respond within 15 working 
days to the request; 
• Actual substitutions of replacement DBE’s to fulfil l DBE contract requirements 
should not be made before City approval is given. 
 
EVIDENCE OF SOLICITATION 
 
If a bidder finds it cannot secure DBE’s for a proj ect, documentation showing that all 
reasonable good faith efforts were made toward fulf illing the DBE participation must be 
submitted to the City with the bid.   Such reasonable efforts include, but are not limited to: 
 
• Copies of subcontract quote solicitations with cert ified mail receipts or fax 
transmittal log showing evidence that the solicitation was sent to DBE; 
• Evidence that the contractor held a prebid meeting for DBEs; 
• Notification of minority contractor assistance agencies; 
• The contractor’s general affirmative action policie s regarding the utilization of 
DBE’s. 
 
DBE REPORTS 
 
The contractor shall file regular DBE utilization r eports with the Project Manager 
reflecting the payments to date and the projected p ayments to DBE’s.  These reports 
shall be notarized.  Vouchers will not be processed  for payment until the current report 
has been presented. 
 
RECORDKEEPING 
 
The contractor shall maintain records of all releva nt data with respect to the utilization 
of DBE’s.  Full access to these records shall be granted to the City upon request. 
 
DISQUALIFICATION OR TERMINATION 
 
Failure of the prime contractor to fulfill the requ irements of the DBE program, 
including making a good faith effort, may result in  a non-responsive bid determination  
and disqualification of the bidder. 
 
Failure of the prime contractor to carry out the re quirements set forth may constitute 
a breach of contract, which could result in the ter mination of the agreement or 
contract.
