The Regional Alliance has provided services to the New York State Department of Transportation for over seven years.  NYS DOT conducts an active Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program and certifies over 300 DBEs in the downstate area.  The Regional Alliance has been providing business assessments, business outreach services, loan and bonding referrals and development plan implementation services to DOT DBE certified firms in Zone 3, which includes Nassau and Suffolk Counties, the five Boroughs, Orange, Rockland, Putnam and Westchester Counties.

For DOT certified DBEs in the downstate zone, the Regional Alliance will come in and conduct a formal assessment of the firm, including a site or office visit and interview with the client.  The client will complete a detailed questionnaire and provide some financial background information on the firm, marketing materials, contract bid and win data, etc.  We will analyze the data and materials and develop a confidential assessment report for the firm and DOT.  Based on the assessment, the firm will be eligible for up to 28 hours of implementation services provided by our expert staff or consultants, including referral for bonding, loan packaging and shopping, marketing assistance and development of materials, computer assistance, website development advice. 

Over 170 firms have already been assessed under the current contract and most have received some services along these lines.  We are now reaching out to many of the already assessed firms to meet any current needs through contract completion at the end of July 2006.  If you have been assessed and would like additional implementation services please call project director Richard Hellenbrecht at 212-268-0391.  Otherwise, if you are certified by NYS DOT, but not assessed, please contact project director Richard Hellenbrecht at 212-268-0391 for an assessment.
