Effective with the January 20, 2016 Letting:

We are making a change to the handling of DBE commitments in bidding files.  In order to submit a complete and valid bid, you will need to download the DBE_KS.bin file at the letting level to populate the DBE folder in your .EBS file.  Step-by-step instructions are provided below:

1.  Download your .EBS file as usual and save it to a specific location on your computer/drive.  Note this location.

2.  A second file, called DBE_KS.bin, will be provided by KDOT at the letting level.  It contains all approved DBE firms for that letting.  You must download the DBE_KS.bin file provided and save it in the SAME location where you saved the .EBS file.

3.  Open the .EBS file.  This action will cause the DBE_KS.bin file to attach itself to the main bidding file (provided they are in the same location as noted in step 2).

4.  In the .EBS file, click the 'add' button from the DBE folder.  If the DBE_KS.bin file was successfully attached, you will see a list of DBE firms and be able to select one.

Note:  you will need to download the DBE_KS.bin file with each letting.
