Caltrans Policy Update: Interim LAPM Forms
Caltrans has updated two Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM) forms to guide local public agencies on how to adjust their contract templates/language due to the Interim Final Rule for the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program.
Caltrans suggests not to include the stricken DBE provisions in your new contracts as outlined in LAPM Exhibits:
- LAPM Exhibit 10-R: A&E Boilerplate Agreement Language
- LAPM Exhibit 12-G: Required Federal Aid Contract Language
These forms are also posted on the Caltrans LAPM forms webpage.
Please contact your District Local Assistance Engineer or District DBE Coordinator for questions regarding your specific project in its current phase. For the current contact list please see the DLAE & DBE Coordinators List.
