LAC 70:XIX.111. Standing Committees

A. Contract Selection Team. The Contract Selection Team (CST) is a panel chosen by the secretary to review state-funded construction projects where this department is the contracting agency and to establish reasonable SDBE participation goals in specific projects. The CST reviews the type of project, the items of work with potential for SDBE participation, the location of the project, the known availability and capability of SDBE businesses and the size of the project in order to determine a project goal. The CST may elect to set the project aside for only SDBE participation, to set a goal for SDBE subcontracting, or to set no goal on a project. B. Certification Review Team. The Certification Review Team (CRT) is a panel chosen by the secretary to determine eligibility for participation in the SDBE program.
