PREPROPOSAL STATEMENT OF INQUIRY
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
[Filed June 8, 2021, 9:55 a.m.]
Subject of Possible Rule Making: Clarify contract goals for the small and veteran-owned business enforceable goals program.
Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: The rules are being modified to simplify the process, and clarify the language, regarding contract goals for the small and veteran-owned business enforceable goals program. This rule simplification will refine the WAC 468-17-030(5) definition of "Contract goal" to apply only to the contract amount, and will clarify current language by removing multiple references to "condition of award."
Other Federal and State Agencies that Regulate this Subject and the Process Coordinating the Rule with These Agencies: Not applicable.
Process for Developing New Rule: The Washington state department of transportation will solicit comments from its stakeholders via email, stakeholder meetings, advisory groups, and other available means.
Interested parties can participate in the decision to adopt the new rule and formulation of the proposed rule before publication by contacting Jackie Bayne, 310 Maple Park Avenue S.E., phone 360-705-7084, fax 360.705.6801, TTY 711, email BayneJ@wsdot.wa.gov, website www.wsdot.wa.gov/equalopportunity.
