ENCOURAGEMENT OF SWaM BUSINESSES: It is the policy of the Commonwealth of Virginia to contribute to the establishment, preservation, and strengthening of Small, Woman-owned and Minority-owned (SWaM) business enterprises and to encourage the participation of Department of Small Business and Supplier Diversity (DSBSD) certified SWaM businesses in State procurement activities. Toward that end, Longwood University encourages DSBSD-certified SWaM firms to compete and encourages non-SWaM firms to provide for the participation of DSBSD-certified SWaM businesses through partnerships, joint ventures, subcontracts, and other contractual opportunities.
Longwood University has adopted an annual SWaM Procurement Plan that specifies goals for SWaM procurement by Prime Contractors (A/E or Construction) in support of the State’s initiative for increasing state procurement from SWaM businesses. It requires reporting the use of SWaM certified subcontractors and suppliers and reporting of payments made to these firms. Upon award of contract, a Prime Contractor is required to create and certify a SWaM subcontracting plan to meet SWaM goals when submitting their list of sub-contractors for approval. Prime contractors are then required to submit reports of payments made to SWaM sub-contractors and direct suppliers with each invoice or Schedule of Values (CO-12) submitted. The CO-12 has been updated by the state to include fields for SWaM information and can be downloaded from the Department of General Services website http://www.dgs.virginia.gov/. Monthly invoices or Schedules of Values will not be accepted unless SWaM information is included. Final payment under the contract in question shall be withheld until certification of SWaM compliance is received and confirmed by the agency.
SWaM reporting is a Prime contractor responsibility that must be submitted to receive progress payments.
In addition to submission of subcontractor information with each invoice or CO-12, SWaM Reports will be required on a monthly basis. Monthly reports will be due with monthly invoices.
No vendor is considered a SWaM business unless it has obtained certification from the Commonwealth. For SWaM registration guidelines and additional registration information, refer to the Virginia Department of Small Business and Supplier Diversity website at https://www.sbsd.virginia.gov/. All certified SWaM vendors are assigned a SWaM identification number by DSBSD which should be used in monthly reports. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Director of Procurement Services or your Project Manager.
If bidder is SWaM certified, then the above procedures do not apply.

6. No signs or advertisements shall be posted on University property unless approved by the University.
7. The contractor may use University sanitary facilities, water and power. Any modifications of these utilities required by the contractor shall be made by the contractor at his expense. These modifications may be made only after receiving written permission from the Facilities Management Department. Contractor shall remove modifications upon completion of project. No charges to the contractor will be made by the University for the use of University utilities unless persistent wastage occurs. In such cases, the contractor will be charged for the utilities at the same rates the University pays for them.
8. The work site shall be kept in such an orderly fashion as to not unduly interfere with the progress of the work or the work of any other contractor. Trash/debris shall be collected daily and removed by the contractor.
9. All contractor/sub-contractor personnel, if not wearing a company uniform that displays the company’s name, must obtain a Contractors ID Card from the Longwood University Lancer Card & Campus Services Office located on the 2nd floor of Eason Hall, Room 205A. Lancer Card & Campus Services hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The fee for an ID Card is $8.00, paid by cash or check in the Cashiering Office across from Lancer Card & Campus Services Office on the 2nd floor of Eason Hall.

12. Sensitivity to the unique nature of the University environment is essential. A high standard of civility must be maintained by contractors and their employees for a meaningful learning environment to exist. Behaviors displayed by contractor’s employees, such as catcalling, whistling, leering, and other similar gestures or comments of a sexual nature made toward students or employees of the University, have the very real potential of creating serious liabilities for the University and the contractor. They cannot be tolerated by the University and contractor’s employees exhibiting such behavior will be barred from the work site permanently. Chronic problems of this nature may be deemed a material breach of the construction agreement. Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 creates legal claim rights for University students, visitors or employees sexually harassed by third parties such as contractors and their employees.
