Revise the fourth paragraph of 1-02.6, beginning with “The Bidder shall submit with the Bid a completed Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Utilization Certification”, to read as follows: Contractor agrees that the Contractor shall actively solicit the employment of minority group members. Contractor further agrees that the Contractor shall actively solicit Bids for the subcontracting of goods or services from qualified minority businesses. Contractor shall furnish evidence of the Contractor's compliance with these requirements of minority employment and solicitation. Contractor further agrees to consider the grant of subcontracts to said minority bidders on the basis of substantially equal proposals in the light most favorable to said minority businesses. The Contractor shall be required to submit evidence of compliance with this section as part of the Bid by submitting the RCW 35.22.650 Certification. Delete the sixth paragraph of 1-02.6, which begins with “The Bidder shall submit with their Bid a completed Contractor Certification Wage Law Compliance form (WSDOT Form 272- 009).” Supplement 1-02.6 by adding the following: In the event that the product of a unit price and an estimated quantity does not equal the extended amount quoted, the unit price shall govern, and the correct product of the unit price and the estimated quantity shall be deemed to be the amount bid. If the sum of two or more items in a bidding schedule does not equal the total amounts quoted, the individual item amounts shall govern and the correct total shall be deemed to be the amount bid. Do not qualify Proposal, since this will automatically be cause for rejection of the Proposal.
