Wash. Admin. Code § 326-50-040 - Implementation of business partnership program
(1) Agreement of intent -- Contents of
agreement. In order to claim business partnership credit for contracts or other
assistance provided to MWBEs, an agreement of intent must be filed with OMWBE
by the non-MWBE firm within seven days of the commencement of the
supplier-service contract. The agreement of intent to be filed with OMWBE must
include such information as required by OMWBE.
(2) Evaluation committee.
(a) An evaluation committee will review each
agreement of intent and make a recommendation to the director. Evaluation
committees appointed by OMWBE will consist of a representative from the private
sector, a representative from the MWBE community, and a state agency
representative. During the prototype phase of the program, the purchased goods
and services workgroup, appointed by the OMWBE advisory committee, will serve
as the evaluation committee.
(b)
The office, through the evaluation committee, will monitor the progress of the
agreement of intent against the details outlined in the agreement of intent as
filed with OMWBE, or as approved under subsection (3) below.
(3) The director may approve the
agreement, with or without modifications, or disapprove the agreement. Upon
approval of the agreement, OMWBE will establish an account for non-MWBE firms
under the number assigned to the agreement of intent. Upon proof of completion
of the agreement, or portions thereof if applicable, credits for the negotiated
dollar value of the contract will be placed in the non-MWBE firm's
account.
(4) The credit received by
the non-MWBE firms will be calculated from the firm's documented expenditures.
Prior to initiating a goods or service contract or other approved assistance,
the non-MWBE firm must file an agreement of intent with OMWBE. Upon approval of
the plan, the firm will thereafter document the actions that have been taken on
behalf of MWBEs. The actual dollar value to be credited may be established
either before or after the program is concluded, but the agreement of intent
must set the standards for evaluation and receive approval by OMWBE. The amount
of credit that will be given for any contracted good or service or other
approved assistance will be established between OMWBE and the non-MWBE
firm.
