For contracts funded (a) solely by Measure F Alameda County Vehicle Registration Fee (VRF), Measure B and/or Measure BB sales tax funds, or (b) in part by VRF, Measure B, and/or Measure BB funds in combination with other local funds, Alameda CTC offers contract applicable credits for contract award to Alameda County businesses under its Local Business Contract Equity (LBCE) Program.
The LBCE Program has the following goals:
Opportunities greater than $25,000 and equal to or less than $75,000 has a Very Small Local Business Enterprise (VSLBE) goal of 30.0% for professional services contracts.
Contracts funded by the state or federal government are exempt from these goals.

Alameda CTC is committed to the participation of Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) firms in its contracting opportunities in accordance with federal regulations 49 CFR Part 26, as may be amended from time to time by the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT). The DBE Program applies to all federally funded contracts.
The main objectives of the DBE Program are:
To be certified as a DBE, a firm must be a small business owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals. Certifiers make the determinations based upon on-site visits, personal interviews, reviews of licenses, stock ownership, equipment, bonding capacity, work completed, resume of principal owners and financial capacity. For the state of California, DBE certification is performed by the certifying agencies of the California Unified Certification Program (CUCP).
