Attachment E Contractor Inclusion Plan

Instructions

DSHS requires that bidder submit this inclusion plan template as part of their proposal. Once submitted, the Inclusion Plan template becomes part of the contract if awarded to the bidder. The Bidder shall also include an anticipated list of small and diverse subcontractors or vendors who may provide services on the project. Responses should reflect the Bidder's sincere efforts to include diverse small businesses. Businesses listed in the plan must be certified by OMWBE or DVA, or registered in WEBS as a small business. If a company is not certified or registered but may be eligible for certification, the Bidder should encourage the company to become certified.

Inclusion goals are aspirational. No preference is given for inclusion plans or goals in the evaluation of bids. While no minimum level of OMWBE certified, Veteran Owned, or Washington Small Business participation will be required as a condition for receiving an award, the plan must include the actions the contractor will take to increase subcontracting opportunities for those business types.
