When you record a payment to a subcontractor who is a DBE, the Signet® service prompts you to select their DBE type from a pre-populated drop-down list. When a subcontractor is fulfilling two different DBE roles, you can quickly add a separate payment for each role they fulfilled right on the same payment recording page. Not only does this keep your DBE reporting accurate, it saves you the additional time of correcting DBE types mistakenly reported to the agency.

DBE types
Ohio DOT users
If you are working in the state of Ohio, here are the guidelines for DBE selection:
- Service providers, consultants | Set the DBE type to Contractor
-
Suppliers | Select the appropriate supplier type
- Refer to the DBE Affirmation for the subcontractor to know which supplier type to use
When a subcontractor has done work under more than one DBE type, you must record separate payments for each piece of work done under its respective DBE type for accurate reporting.
