Exhibit 4 - Monthly Compliance Status Report Summary

This is a Monthly Compliance Status Report form issued by Beaufort County, South Carolina, designed to track Small and Minority Business Enterprises (S/MBE) participation on county construction contracts. The report is required to be submitted monthly to the Beaufort County Compliance Office by the 5th day of each month, documenting the previous month's activity. The form captures essential project information including the prime contractor name, project name, original contract amount, change orders, and current contract amount. Prime contractors must identify all S/MBE firms engaged on the project, including the firm type, quoted amounts, contract/purchase order dates and amounts, monthly payments with check numbers, and cumulative payments to date. The report requires separate tracking and subtotals for Small Business Enterprise (SBE) expenditures, Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) expenditures, and combined S/MBE total expenditures.

The report form mandates certification by the prime contractor that all contracts and purchase orders have been executed with listed firms, amounts are accurate, and payments comply with contractual obligations. Supporting documentation, including cancelled checks to S/MBEs and any supplemental materials substantiating the reported information, must be made available to Beaufort County officials upon written request. The completed report must be submitted to the Compliance Office at P.O. Drawer 1228, Beaufort, SC 29901-1228, via email to dthomas@bcgov.net, or by facsimile to 843.255.9437. This reporting requirement continues until project completion and is a standard compliance mechanism for ensuring S/MBE participation goals are achieved and properly documented throughout the contract performance period.
