From the meeting
ODOT announced a new small business enterprise (SBE) commercially useful function (CUF) affirmation process for professional services. Prime consultants and their SBE subconsultants will self-affirm CUF in the Subconsultant Payment System instead of using CUF interviews. District staff will also perform desk reviews on randomly selected agreements.
This is a compliance change affecting active and future consultant work.
