DBE and ACDBE Certification Procedures During COVID-19 Pandemic

INDOT’s Economic Opportunity Division will be following this federal guidance.  All DBEs should read this information carefully and forward any questions to dbecertification@indot.in.gov

INDOT EOD will not be conducting in person on site visits for new applicants geographically located in the State of Indiana through at least May 6, 2020.  We will reevaluate at that time.  INDOT EOD is reviewing different ways to conduct onsite visits virtually at this time. 

INDOT EOD will not suspend DBEs for failure to submit the no change affidavit in a timely manner at this time.  If your no change affidavit is complete, please submit it using the normal protocols of logging into ITAP, uploading the appropriate paperwork and submitting.  If you do not have your business taxes for 2019 at this time, please just let us know by emailing dbecertification@indot.in.gov.  We are keeping a record of those who have requested a delay in submission and will catch those up as the situation allows. 

Other than these two changes, we are committed to continuing to provide the same level of service our DBE community expects.  Please stay safe and feel free to contact any of the INDOT EOD staff with additional questions.  As we are all working remotely, the best way to contact us is via email.  

Stay safe everyone!
