The Savannah Airport Commission has established a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program in accordance with regulations of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT), 49 CFR Part 26. The Savannah Airport Commission has received federal financial assistance from the Department of Transportation, and as a condition of receiving this assistance, the Savannah Airport Commission has signed an assurance that it will comply with 49 CFR Part 26.
It is the policy of the Savannah Airport Commission to ensure that DBEs as defined in Part 26, have an equal opportunity to receive and participate in USDOT-assisted contracts. It is also our policy:
- To ensure nondiscrimination in the award and administration of USDOT-assisted contracts
- To create a level playing field on which DBEs can compete fairly for USDOT-assisted contracts
- To ensure that the DBE Program is narrowly tailored in accordance with applicable law
- To ensure that only firms that fully meet 49 CFR Part 26 eligibility standards are permitted to participate as DBEs
- To help remove barriers to the participation of DBEs in USDOT-assisted contracts
- To assist the development of firms that can compete successfully in the marketplace outside the DBE Program
Mr. Dawoud Stevenson has been delegated as the DBE Liaison Officer. In that capacity, Mr. Stevenson is responsible for implementing all aspects of the DBE program. Implementation of the DBE program is accorded the same priority as compliance with all other legal obligations incurred by the Savannah Airport Commission in its financial assistance agreements with the Department of Transportation.
