1.0 COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS AT A GLANCE
The DC Water Major Projects present an opportunity for DC Water to showcase its commitment to contracting with minority and women-owned businesses and to employing local residents. The plan that follows lays out a path to achieving success in both areas.
Highlights of the plan are as follows:
1.1 M/WBE CONTRACTING
1. Only M/WBE contractors with acceptable certification are counted toward participation in the program.

Prime contractor will submit Form 6100-4 and Form 6100-3 with the Subcontractor Approval Request Forms of participating first tier subcontractors. Such forms may be found in the award documents.
4. Each contractor at the prime and first tier levels will submit monthly reporting, which shows the amounts paid to all of its subcontractors.
5. Participation Calculations
a. Counting for the purposes of M/WBE goal projection will be the total projected participation included in the prime contractor 's base contract in addition to participation from change order work and exercising allowances.
b. Counting for the purposes of actual M/WBE participation will be based on the actual invoice payments to the M/WBE. All contractors will require their M/WBE subcontractors to sign Form 6100-2 (see Attachment 1) at the same time they are signing other release of lien papers, each time the M/WBE receives payment. Executed Form 6100-2 (see Attachment 1) will be submitted with the contractor 's monthly report.
6. Information will be compiled monthly and reported to DETS and the Major Projects Program Director or CM, as applicable and reported quarterly to the DC Water Governance Committee.

2.0 M/WBE CONTRACTING
2.1 M/WBE REQUIREMENTS SUMMARY
To assist in meeting and maintaining project goal percentages, all prime professional services and construction contractors will require that every subcontract opportunity where feasible, include goals of 28% and 4% for M/WBE participation respectively, in professional services contracts, and 32% and 6% for M/WBE participation in construction related contracts. Participation is calculated as a percentage of adjusted professional services or construction costs as
