            Prior to entering into contract negotiations, the selected firm and any sub‑consultants shall submit a current audited overhead rate computation performed by a state or federal government agency or independent CPA firm.  The submitted overhead audit shall contain a detailed exhibit of the computations with all applicable eliminations and references.

 

            The audit shall be done in accordance with Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States and all eliminations required by the Federal Acquisitions Regulations will be made.  This requirement will be waived for the selected firm or any sub-consultant when its portion of the fee for the project is less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00).  In such instances, a company computed overhead rate may be utilized.

 

            A single letter of interest and un-priced prospectus is required regardless of the number of projects requested by the firm for consideration.

 

            It is the policy of the West Virginia Department of Transportation, Division of Highways, that disadvantaged and women-owned business enterprises shall have the maximum opportunity to participate in the performance of contracts financed in whole or in part with federal funds.
