August 19, 2015 Hold retainage from prime contractors and provide for prompt and regular incremental acceptances of portions of the prime contract, pay retainage to prime contractors based on these acceptances, and require a contract clause obligating the prime contractor to pay all retainage owed to the subcontractor for satisfactory completion of the accepted work within 30 days after your payment to the prime contractor. County of Kittitas will consider a subcontractor's work is satisfactorily completed when all the tasks called for in the subcontract have been accomplished and documented as required by the County of Kittitas. When County of Kittitas has made an incremental acceptance of a portion of a prime contract, the work of a subcontractor covered by that acceptance is deemed to be satisfactorily completed. The County of Kittitas will provide appropriate means to enforce the requirements of this section. These means include: O Contract provisions included in bidding documents The County of Kittitas will include the following clause in each DOT -assisted prime contract: The prime contractor agrees to pay each subcontractor under this prime contract for satisfactory performance of its contract no later than 30 days from the receipt of each payment the prime contractor receives from County of Kittitas. The prime contractor agrees further to return retainage payments to each subcontractor within 30 days after the subcontractors work is satisfactorily completed. Any delay or postponement of payment from the above referenced timeframe may occur only for good cause following written approval of the County of Kittitas. This clause applies to both DBE and non -DBE subcontractors. Section 26.31 Directory The County of Kittitas uses the State of Washington DBE directory, maintained by the State. The directory lists the firm's name, address, phone number, and the type of work the firm has been certified to perform as a DBE. In addition, the directory lists each type of work for which a firm is eligible to be certified by using the most specific NAICS code available to describe each type of work. The state UCP revises the Directory daily. We make the Directory available by listing the website where the interested persons may access the directory. The Directory may be found at http://wsdot.wa.govIPartnerslOMWBE/DBEDirectory/ Page 7 of 43
