Sec. 26.11  What records do recipients keep and report?

    (a) [Reserved]
    (b) You must continue to provide data about your DBE program to the 
Department as directed by DOT operating administrations.
    (c) You must create and maintain a bidders list.
    (1) The purpose of this list is to provide you as accurate data as 
possible about the universe of DBE and non-DBE contractors and 
subcontractors who seek to work on your Federally-assisted contracts for 
use in helping you set your overall goals.
    (2) You must obtain the following information about DBE and non-DBE 
contractors and subcontractors who seek to work on your Federally-
assisted contracts:
    (i) Firm name;
    (ii) Firm address;
    (iii) Firm's status as a DBE or non-DBE;
    (iv) Age of the firm; and
    (v) The annual gross receipts of the firm. You may obtain this 
information by asking each firm to indicate into what gross receipts 
bracket they fit (e.g., less than $500,000; $500,000-$1 million; $1-2 
million; $2-5 million; etc.) rather than requesting an exact figure from 
the firm.
    (3) You may acquire the information for your bidders list in a 
variety of ways. For example, you can collect the data from all bidders, 
before or after the bid due date. You can conduct a survey that will 
result in statistically sound estimate of the universe of DBE and non-
DBE contractors and subcontractors who seek to work on your Federally-
assisted contracts. You may combine different data collection approaches 
(e.g., collect name and address information from all bidders, while 
conducting a survey with respect to age and gross receipts information).
