Part II: Narrative Explanation
II. A - Brief Description Of What The Measure Does That Has Fiscal Impact
Briefly describe by section number, the significant provisions of the bill, and any related workload or policy assumptions, that have revenue or
expenditure impact on the responding agency.

 Bill amends portions of RCW 39.19 and 39.04

 Section 1 – Amends RCW 39.19.020 by adding a definition for debar.

 Section 2 – Amends RCW 39.19.060 to require all state agencies and educational institutions to identify certain
 metrics of contracts awarded to minority and women-owned businesses.

 Section 3 – Amends RCW 39.19.080 removing penalty clause.

 Section 4 – Amends RCW 39.19.090 – Imposed certain types of penalties and rules required for penalties. It also
 requires an investigation and audit.

 Section 5 – A new section is added to chapter 39.19 to permit the issuance of subpoenas and other court type
 matters.

 Section 6 – Amends RCW 39.19.200 to add civil penalties.

 Section 7 – Amends RCW 39.19.250 – Adding particular requirements to reports.

 Section 8 – Repeals enforcement provisions of RCW 39.19.100 and RCW 39.19.110.
II. B - Cash receipts Impact
Briefly describe and quantify the cash receipts impact of the legislation on the responding agency, identifying the cash receipts provisions by section
number and when appropriate the detail of the revenue sources. Briefly describe the factual basis of the assumptions and the method by which the
cash receipts impact is derived. Explain how workload assumptions translate into estimates. Distinguish between one time and ongoing functions.

 Cash receipts are assumed to equal the Legal Services Revolving Account (LSRA) cost estimates. These will be
 billed through the revolving account to the client agency.

 The client agency is the Office of Minority & Women’s Business Enterprises (OMWBE). The Attorney
 General’s Office (AGO) will bill all clients for legal services rendered.

 These cash receipts represent the AGO’s authority to bill and are not a direct appropriation to the AGO. The
 direct appropriation is reflected in the client agency’s fiscal note. Appropriation authority is necessary in the
 AGO budget.
II. C - Expenditures
Briefly describe the agency expenditures necessary to implement this legislation (or savings resulting from this legislation), identifying by section
number the provisions of the legislation that result in the expenditures (or savings). Briefly describe the factual basis of the assumptions and the
method by which the expenditure impact is derived. Explain how workload assumptions translate into cost estimates. Distinguish between one time
and ongoing functions.

 Attorney General’s Office (AGO) Agency Assumptions:

 1. This bill is assumed effective 90 days after the end of the 2021 legislative session.


Women & minority contracting                                                                                           100-Office of Attorney General

FNS063 Individual State Agency Fiscal Note                              2                                                            Bill # 1259 S HB
 2. Total workload impact in this request includes standard assumption costs for good & services, travel, and
 capital outlays for all FTE identified.

 3. Agency administration support FTE are included in the tables below, using a Management Analyst 5 as a
 representative classification.

 4. The Solicitor General’s Office (SGO) has reviewed this bill and determined it will not increase or decrease the
 division’s workload. New legal services are nominal and costs are not included in this request.

 5. The AGO Transportation & Public Construction Division (TPC) has reviewed this bill and determined it will
 not significantly increase the division’s workload in representing the Department of Enterprise Services (DES).
 DES indicates that it has sufficient resources to administer the programs affected and the amendments will
 require little or no Assistant Attorney General (AAG) involvement. New legal services are assumed to be
 nominal and costs are not included in this request.


 Assumptions for the AGO Government Compliance & Enforcement Division (GCE) Legal Services for the
 Office of Minority & Women’s Business Enterprises (OMWBE):

 1. The AGO will bill OMWBE for legal services based on the enactment of this bill.

 2. This bill is amended to increase utilization of OMWBE-certified contractors by public
 agencies in the contracting process and provides new processes for debarment from bidding on public contracts
 and for monetary penalty assessments. Additionally, it creates a new audit and review unit within OMWBE and
 provides the unit and director with certain investigative and subpoena authority.

 3. Although Section 9 repeals two statutes that contain certain enforcement responsibilities for the AGO, this will
 not have any impact as the AGO has never acted under these statutes.

 4. OMWBE assumes that this bill will result in five to seven new enforcement cases each year, beginning FY
 2022. GCE concurs with this assumption. Additionally, GCE anticipates up to one new administrative appeal
 each year.

 5. GCE assumes that the new litigation generated by this bill will be document-intensive, and hearings will be
 scheduled for multiple days.

 6. Based on past experience with the services expended in representing OMWBE in similar enforcement cases,
 and assuming an average of six new cases each year, GCE assumes that each new case will utilize approximately
 180 AAG hours to litigate. Therefore, GCE assumes the new litigation generated by this bill will require 1,080
 AAG hours (6 x 180) beginning in FY 2022 and each year thereafter.

 7. GCE assumes that the new investigative and subpoena authority granted to OMWBE under this bill will result
 in approximately 10 hours of legal advice beginning in FY 2022 and each FY thereafter. This bill will also
 require OMWBE to engage in rulemaking. This rulemaking will be completed during FY 2022 and will generate
 25 AAG hours of legal advice.

 8. Total workload impact:

Part II: Narrative Explanation
II. A - Brief Description Of What The Measure Does That Has Fiscal Impact
Briefly describe by section number, the significant provisions of the bill, and any related workload or policy assumptions, that have revenue or
expenditure impact on the responding agency.

 This bill will increase the regulatory oversight and accountability by the Office of Minority and Women’s
 Business Enterprises (OMWBE). The costs reported for this fiscal note are identical to those reported under the
 original version of the bill because changes made in the substitute do not affect OMWBE's costs.

 Section 2 (3) would require OMWBE to identify state agencies and educational institutions with low levels of
 participation by minority- and women-owned businesses in their public contracts, and to report on this annually.
 OMWBE is in the process of implementing new software, the Business Diversity Management System, that will
 track and identify spending in public contracting statewide that will also help to meet the direction in Section
 2(3) of the bill. Initial funding to begin this project was provided by the Legislature in the 2020 session, and the
 Governor’s proposed budget for the 21-23 biennium includes the remaining funding needed to fully implement
 the project. We are assuming that funding will be included in the final budget as adopted by the Legislature so we
 are not including any cost impacts for this bill for that system, though it will be necessary to carry out the work
 as fully intended by the bill.

 Section 4 (1) (a) states that if a person, firm, corporation, or business does not comply with a contract
 requirement the state may impose one or more penalties.

 Section 4 (1) (b) states if a person firm, corporation, or business commits any of the prohibited activities in RCW
 39.19.080, the state must impose one of the above mentioned sanctions. The fiscal note assumption is that two
 additional staff will be needed to satisfy these investigations and subsequent requirements.

 Section 4 (1) (c) requires that if a penalty is imposed and then an entity willfully repeats violations, exceeding a
 single violation, OMWBE must disqualify the contractor from further participation in state contracts for a period
 of three years. The monitoring and enforcing of these violation and sanctions will require the above mentioned
 additional staff.

 Section 4 (3) requires OMWBE to adopt, by rule, criteria for the imposition of penalties. This section allows the
 rule to incorporate the debarment process authorized for the Department of Enterprise Services in RCW
 39.26.200. However, debarment activities would not be housed within OMWBE because there are existing
 processes in place outside of OMWBE more appropriate for this work.

 Section 4 (4)(a) allows OMWBE to establish an audit and review unit for the purposes of detecting and
 investigating fraud and violations of certification requirements. Per this section, the office must employ qualified
 personnel for the unit and must audit or visit at least 3% of businesses under this chapter per year. OMWBE has
 determined that the new staff should consist of two experienced investigators to conduct audits/investigations of
 certified firms who receive public contracts. OMWBE assumes each investigator would conduct 3-4
 audits/investigations per year and that the agency would receive between 6-7 per year based on historical data.
 The number of investigations would likely increase over time as the number of certifications increase, consistent
 with the trends that OMWBE is seeing.

 Section 6 clarifies that the OMWBE account (managed by the State Treasurer) will receive the civil penalties
 imposed under RCW 39.19.090 and will deposit receipts to this account. This account is for expenditures for
 defraying all or part of the costs of the office in administering this chapter (bill).

II. B - Cash receipts Impact
Briefly describe and quantify the cash receipts impact of the legislation on the responding agency, identifying the cash receipts provisions by section
number and when appropriate the detail of the revenue sources. Briefly describe the factual basis of the assumptions and the method by which the
cash receipts impact is derived. Explain how workload assumptions translate into estimates. Distinguish between one time and ongoing functions.

 The fiscal note assumption is that a portion of the costs incurred by OMWBE will be reimbursed by the
 collection of fines from entities in violation. OMWBE assumes fines will first be assessed in FY 22. During FY
 22 and FY 23, OMWBE estimates approximately 15 violations per year and subsequent imposed fines of not
 more than $7,000 each for a total of $105,000 for each of the first two fiscal years. For FY 24 onward the
 expectation is 12 violations per year for a total of $84,000 per year. The slight reduction is anticipated from
 removing violating entities from contractual participation.
II. C - Expenditures
Briefly describe the agency expenditures necessary to implement this legislation (or savings resulting from this legislation), identifying by section
number the provisions of the legislation that result in the expenditures (or savings). Briefly describe the factual basis of the assumptions and the
method by which the expenditure impact is derived. Explain how workload assumptions translate into cost estimates. Distinguish between one time
and ongoing functions.

 OBJECT A & B
 In reviewing S HB 1259, the Office of Minority and Women’s Business Enterprises (OMWBE) estimates it will
 need 4.0 additional staff to satisfy S HB 1259's purpose of increasing the regulatory oversight and accountability
 of OMWBE. Hiring for these 4.0 positions would begin July 1, 2021, with the recruitment 90 days prior. The
 total costs for staff (Objects A and B) in FY 22 are estimated at $426,488, and $426,488 for the following fiscal
 years.

 OBJECT C
 S HB 1259 would require OMWBE to incur IT costs to update its server security to ensure it meets the
 requirements to hold sensitive information such as discoverable items and subpoenas. OMWBE estimates a
 one-time implementation cost of $150,000 in FY 22.

 OBJECT E
 In FY22, OMWBE estimates that it will incur an additional $18,567 in Goods and Service costs (Object E)
 related to the four new FTEs, and $16,647 each year thereafter.

 Additional costs include $20,000 per year in Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH), $148,000 in Attorney
 General (ATG) costs in FY 2022, and $146,000 in ATG costs each year thereafter. The anticipation is 6-7
 hearings per year - the cost estimate is based on 6-7 hearings estimated at about $3,000 per hearing. Due to the
 creation of the audit and review unit, the number of hearings may increase in later fiscal years, but the potential
 increase in volume is unknown.

 Ongoing maintenance costs related to OMWBE's updated server security are estimated at $50,000 per year,
 starting in FY 22. This would be needed to ensure that the agency meets security requirements associated with
 holding discoverable items and subpoenas.

 OBJECT G
 Travel costs estimated at $15,720 per year, starting in FY 22.

 OBJECT J
 The addition of four new FTEs will necessitate the purchase of new computer equipment and furniture. This is
 estimated to be a one-time cost of $22,228 in FY22.

Part II: Narrative Explanation
II. A - Brief Description Of What The Measure Does That Has Fiscal Impact
Briefly describe by section number, the significant provisions of the bill, and any related workload or policy assumptions, that have revenue or
expenditure impact on the responding agency.

 Section 1 has been amended to include the definition for “Debar”. This has no fiscal impact to the Department of
 Enterprise Services (DES).

 Section 2 has been amended to include a new subsection that requires the Office of Minority and Women Owned
 Enterprises (OMWBE) to review public works and goods and services contract spend and identify agencies in the
 lowest quintile in terms of utilization and dollar value awarded. OMWBE must also determine if an agency is
 performing below their established goals.. This has no fiscal impact to DES.

 Section 4 (3) allows OMWBE to incorporate the debarment processes authorized by the Department of
 Enterprise Services (DES) under RCW 39.26.200 into OWMBEs criteria for imposition of penalties outlined in
 section 4 of this bill. This has no fiscal impact to DES.
II. B - Cash receipts Impact
Briefly describe and quantify the cash receipts impact of the legislation on the responding agency, identifying the cash receipts provisions by section
number and when appropriate the detail of the revenue sources. Briefly describe the factual basis of the assumptions and the method by which the
cash receipts impact is derived. Explain how workload assumptions translate into estimates. Distinguish between one time and ongoing functions.

II. C - Expenditures
Briefly describe the agency expenditures necessary to implement this legislation (or savings resulting from this legislation), identifying by section
number the provisions of the legislation that result in the expenditures (or savings). Briefly describe the factual basis of the assumptions and the
method by which the expenditure impact is derived. Explain how workload assumptions translate into cost estimates. Distinguish between one time
and ongoing functions.

 Part IV: Analysis
A. SUMMARY OF BILL
Provide a clear, succinct description of the bill with an emphasis on how it impacts local government .
CHANGES IN THIS SUBSTITUTE VERSION:
This substitute version removes section 8 of the original bill that pertained to local governments .

SUMMARY OF ORIGINAL BILL VERSION AFFECTING LOCAL GOVERNMENTS:
The original legislation would make changes to the small works roster contract procedures and the contract thresholds for small works
roster no-bid and maximum contract amounts.

Sec. 8: Amends RCW 39.04.155 (Public Works, Small Works Roster Contract Procedures)
(1) Increases the small public works roster provisions to award limited public works contracts from $350 ,000 or less, to $500,000 or less.

(2)(c) Increases the range of estimated costs that local governments may solicit bids from applicable small public works roster participants
for limited public works projects. This range would be $150,000 to $500,000, previously $250,000 to $350,000.

(3)(a) If a limited public works project has an estimated cost of $150,000 or less, a local government may award a participant of the small
public works roster the contract to perform that work, instead of soliciting bids for such work. Previously this amount of $50,000.

BACKGROUND:
The small public works roster are lists of qualified contractors who can bid for an eligible limited public works project under $350 ,000.
These rosters help streamline the bidding process as opposed to the full formal competitive bid process for public works projects. (MRSC)

number, and when appropriate, the detail of revenue sources. Delineate between city, county and special district impacts.
