Your DBE <br />certification status will be honored by all of the U.S. DOT recipients in California. Your firm will be listed in <br />the California Unified Certification Program (CUCP) database of certified DBEs under the following specific <br />areas of expertise: . <br />NAICS (2002) Description Size Standard <br />541380 Testing Laboratories $12.0 Million <br />541620 Environmental Consulting Services $7.0 Million <br />Your DBE certification is good for five years from the date of this letter and applies only for the above <br />NAICS 2002 codes. Requests for additional or revised NAICS 2002 codes must be made in writing to <br />Metro. After the five-year certification period, your entire file will be reviewed in order to ascertain <br />continued DBE certification status. Prior to your firm's DBE certification expiration date, Metro will send a <br />letter to you requesting information necessary to complete this review. <br />The Regulations also require annual updates during this five-year period. In order to assure continuing <br />DBE status, you must submit annually a DBE Declaration with supporting documentation, in the format that <br />will be sent to you. Based on your annual submission that no change in ownership and control has <br />occurred, or if changes have occurred, they do not affect your firm's DBE standing, the DBE certification of <br />your firm will continue until the five-year certification has expired. <br />Also, should any changes occur that could affect your certification status prior to receipt of the DBE <br />Declaration, such as changes in your firm's name, business/mailing address, ownership, management or <br />control, or failure to meet the applicable business size standards or personal net worth standard, please <br />notify Metro immediately. Your DBE certification is subject to review at any time. Failure to submit forms <br />and/or change of information will be deemed as failure to cooperate under §26.109 of the Regulations. <br />Congratulations, and thank you for your interest in the CUCP <br />Sincerely, <br />Shirley Wong <br />Certification Representative <br />c•Ipocunrenv N,Atem^6sll•?cia?ll M?
