EXHIBIT I - 7

Monitoring and Enforcement The COUNTY shall monitor the Contractor’s DBE compliance during the life of the Contract.

The COUNTY may provide such written consent only if the Contractor has good cause to terminate the DBE firm. Before transmitting a request to terminate, the Contractor shall give notice in writing to the DBE subcontractor of its intent to terminate and the reason for the request. The Contractor shall give the DBE five days to respond to the notice and advise of the reasons why it objects to the proposed termination.

When a DBE subcontractor is terminated or fails to complete its work on the Contract for any reason, the Contractor shall make good faith efforts to find another DBE subcontractor to substitute for the original DBE and immediately notify the COUNTY in writing of its efforts to replace the original DBE. These good faith efforts shall be directed at finding another DBE to perform at least the same amount of work under the Contract as the DBE that was terminated, to the extent needed to meet the Contract goal established for this procurement. Failure to comply with these requirements will be in accordance with the Sanctions for Violations section below.

Recordkeeping The prime contractor must maintain records and documents of payments to DBEs for three years following the performance of the contract. The records will be made available for inspection upon request by any authorized representative of the COUNTY or DOT. This reporting requirement also extends to any certified DBE subcontractor.
