Civil Rights Training for Certified Local Public Agencies (LPA)

Portland (May 6) and Virtual only (May 7)

This training will provide an overview of why and how ODOT's civil rights programs apply to Certified Local Public Agencies (LPA) and will cover Nondiscrimination Programs, Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program and Policy, Goal Setting, Ad/bid/award Procedures, Preconstruction Requirements, Contract Compliance (including Goal Monitoring and Commercially Useful Function (CUF) requirements), Apprenticeship/On-the-Job Training (OJT) program requirements.

Target Audience

Our target audience is broad and includes Certified LPA staff responsible for project management, consultant and/or construction contract administration, and civil rights-related documentation. This includes anyone involved in coordinating with the ODOT Office of Equity & Civil Rights on DBE and OJT goal setting, DBE goal evaluation, CUF reviews, and good-faith efforts evaluations; and anyone otherwise involved in monitoring and enforcing contractor compliance with the civil rights programs’ provisions included in your agency’s federally funded contracts. ODOT TPMs/LALs who support Certified LPA projects are also encouraged to attend one of the training sessions.
