(1)
				Prime contractors, design-builders, general contractors/construction managers
				and consultants must submit a small and veterans' business plan that specifies
				how the contractor will meet SBE and VOB participation goals, prior to the
				award of any contract. The small and veteran business plan for design-bid-build
				and consultant contracts must list all of the SBEs, VOBs, mini-businesses and
				micro-businesses that will participate in the contract; a description of the
				work that each SBE, VOB, micro-business or mini-business will perform; the
				dollar amount of the participation of each SBE, VOB, micro-business or
				mini-business; the contractor's written commitment to use the SBE, VOB,
				micro-business or mini-business submitted; and written confirmation from each
				SBE or VOB firm that it is participating in the contract in the kind and amount
				of work provided in the inclusion plan. The small and veteran business plan for
				design-build and general contractor/construction manager contracts must list in
				detail the contractor's means and methods that it will use to meet the goal and
				a commitment by the contractor to attempt to meet the goal. If the total SBE
				and VOB participation in the small and veteran business plan does not meet the
				goal, then the contractor must also submit evidence of good faith efforts
				(GFEs). A contractor may be awarded a project only after WSDOT has approved its
				small and veteran business plan or confirmed its GFEs. Revisions of small and
				veteran business plans may be necessary prior to plan approvals.

				plans are required for design-build and general contractor/construction manager
				projects. The first quarterly small and veteran business plan shall be
				submitted prior to contract award and must be approved by the department prior
				to contract execution. Subsequent small and veteran business plans must include
				information, as applicable, regarding:
(a)
				Small and veteran business goal attainment;
(b) A list all of the SBEs, VOBs,
				mini-businesses or micro-businesses that have been contracted to
				date;

				that each SBE, VOB, micro-business or mini-business will perform;

				each SBE, VOB, micro-business or mini-business;

				use the SBE, VOB, micro-business or mini-business submitted;

				micro-business or mini-business firm that it is participating in the contract
				in the kind and amount of work provided in the small and veteran business
				plan;

				necessary to meet the established goals;
(h) Outreach strategies;
