July 29, 2016 <br />We will perform interim audits of contract payments to DBEs. The audit will review <br />payments to DBE subcontractors to ensure that the actual amount paid to DBE <br />subcontractors equals or exceeds the dollar amounts stated in the schedule of DBE <br />participation. <br />Section 26.31 Directory <br />The Kittitas County uses the State of Washington DBE directory, maintained by the <br />State. <br />The directory lists the firm's name, address, phone number, and the type of work the <br />firm has been certified to perform as a DBE. In addition, the directory lists each type of <br />work for which a firm is eligible to be certified by using the most specific NAICS code <br />available to describe each type of work. <br />The State of Washington revises the Directory daily. We make the Directory available <br />by listing the website where interested persons may access the Directory. The Directory <br />may be found at in Attachment 4. <br />Section 26.33 Over -concentration <br />The Kittitas County has not identified that over -concentration exists in the types of work <br />that DBEs perform. <br />Section 26.35 Business Development Programs <br />The Kittitas County has not established a business development program. <br />Section 26.37 Monitoring and Enforcement Mechanisms <br />The Kittitas County will take the following monitoring and enforcement mechanisms to <br />ensure compliance with 49 CFR Part 26. <br />1. We will bring to the attention of the Department of Transportation any false, <br />fraudulent, or dishonest conduct in connection with the program, so that DOT can <br />take the steps (e.g., referral to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution, <br />referral to the DOT Inspector General, action under suspension and debarment or <br />Program Fraud and Civil Penalties rules) provided in 26.107. <br />2. We will implement similar action under our own legal authorities, including <br />responsibility determinations in future contracts. Attachment 7 lists the regulation, <br />provisions, and contract remedies available to us in the events of non-compliance <br />with the DBE regulation by a participant in our DBE Program. <br />8 <br />
