approved contracting requirement on
competitive bidding and project
delivery. This report should, at a
minimum: (1) Provide comparisons of
bids received for the projects utilizing
the relevant contract requirements to
other projects of similar size and scope
and in the same geographic area that are
not utilizing such requirements; (2) If a
reduction in the pool of bidders was
evident, explain the potential offsetting
benefits resulting from the use of the
requirement; (3) Describe how the
approved contracting requirement lead
to an increase in the effectiveness and
efficiency of Federal funds for the
project; and (4) Describe and quantify
how the approved contracting
requirement promoted the efficient and
effective use of Federal funds in
connection with the contract, when
considered over the long term for the
recipient or subrecipient’s program, or
by serving to protect the integrity of the
competitive bidding process.
The recipient or subrecipient also
must submit to the FTA Regional Office
a report that evaluates the effects of the
approved contracting requirement on
job creation, equitable hiring, and
workforce development. This report
should, at a minimum: (1) Quantify total
number of jobs created, by job category;
(2) Summarize general statistics
regarding where workers reside,
including how many workers reside
within same county as project; (3)
Evaluate the actual impact the approved
contracting requirement had on
equitable construction hiring and
workforce development, particularly for
economically or socially disadvantaged
workers; and (4) Evaluate the effects of
relevant contracting requirements on
participation by DBE contractors and
subcontractors (for example, evaluating
whether DBE project goals were attained
and whether the requirements acted as
a barrier to DBE firms based on the
composition of DBE firms’ workforce).
Prior to approving the application, FTA
will consult with the recipient or
subrecipient to establish the deadline
for this report, based on the size and
complexity of the project. FTA will
include the deadline for this report in
the written approval. In general, the
report will be due no later than three
years after issuance of the Notice to
Proceed for the contract, unless the
recipient or subrecipient demonstrates
that relevant data necessary for the
required evaluations will not be
available within the three-year
timeframe.
A review committee comprised of
FTA staff will evaluate the reports and
reserves the right to seek clarification
from any recipient about any statement

that is made in a report. FTA also may
request additional documentation or

utilization of hiring preferences in
contracting.
