Central Services Public Works Projects Policy

Thurston County seeks participation from all businesses and seeks active participation from minority and woman-owned businesses. There are no preferences that are provided through statute or ordinance, and preferences are not provided for in any contract opportunity.

To encourage such participation, Thurston County reserves the right to encourage MWBE business participation and subcontracting at the time of solicitation. Such consideration would be stated at the time of solicitation by Thurston County. Evaluation of such participation may be included as part of a Request for Proposal Evaluation, which would be stated in our solicitation. We will utilize the State of Washington, Office of Minority and Women Business Enterprise vendor listings as a way to expand our notifications or requests for quotations to such businesses when we have opportunities available.
