MWBE & MWI Compliance Process

 

Phase 1: Submit MWBE/MWi NARRATIVE fOR APPROVAL

The MWBE Narrative is required at the beginning of the project to advance to the URA for any initiating approvals.  

All projects with a total project cost of $500,000 or greater will be required to submit a MWI Narrative. 

 

Phase 2: Complete Total Projects Cost Calculator

The MWBE Total Project Cost calculator initiates phase 2 of the MWBE planning project by establishing a baseline calculation of MWBE spending targets for the project based on 18% MBE participation and 7% WBE participation. An updated narrative should be submitted with the calculator.

Phase 3: Complete URA MWBE Plan

The MWBE Plan provides a projection of MWBE participation on a project or contract. A final MWBE plan must be submitted and approved as a condition of URA land or financial closing. If a final plan cannot be produced, a draft plan can be accepted. Failure to comply with URA MWBE planning requirements can delay URA closing and/or board approval.

Phase 4: SUBMIT ON-GOING MWBE COMPLIANCE REPORTS

Submit compliance reports on an on-going basis as requested by your project contact.
