WSDOT may reimburse each prime contractor or consultant five percent of the actual amount that the prime contractor or consultant paid to PWSBEs or VOBs and that is counted toward the goal. This overhead reimbursement is available only on construction projects, is to be based on actual dollars paid, excludes multiplier credits, and may not exceed $100,000 for any prime contractor or consultant in a single calendar year. Overhead reimbursement payments will be made only after a contractor has fulfilled its small and veteran business goals. Reimbursement payments will not be paid to contractors for partial completion of aforementioned goals. No contractor may receive an overhead reimbursement if it meets the contract goal using work performed with its own forces.
