DBE Reciprocity

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has established a DBE reciprocity agreement with Indiana DOT for statewide projects allowing DBE’s certified in either Kentucky or Indiana to be used for any transportation federal aid project in the partner state. We are also in an agreement with Ohio DOT only for the Brent Spence Brigde Project. However, we don't have an automatic reciprocity agreement with other states.  DBEs interested in certification in other regions must adhere to the Interstate DBE Certification outlined in 49 CFR 26.85. It's crucial to note that all DBE firms performing work on bid items, should be prequalified with the Cabinet. This prequalification is contingent on both the firm's and the individual's professional experience and qualifications. Currently the reciprocity​ agreement Kentucky has with Ohio is​ limited exclusively to the Brent Spence Bridge. Please note that DBE’s will need to follow the project State’s prequalification laws. ​For the most up to date list of DBE’s certified in INDIANA please click here: Indiana DBE Directory
