Monthly MWBE Contractor Compliance Report A. In accordance with 5 NYCRR § 142.10, Contractor is required to report Monthly MWBE Contractor Compliance to OGS during the term of the Contract for the preceding month’s activity, documenting progress made towards achievement of the Contract MWBE goals. OGS requests that all Contractors use the New York State Contract System (“NYSCS”) to report subcontractor and supplier payments made by Contractor to MWBEs performing work under the Contract. The NYSCS may be accessed at xxxxx://xx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx/. This is a New York State- based system that all State agencies and authorities will be implementing to ensure uniform contract compliance reporting throughout New York State.
B. When a Contractor receives a payment from a State agency, it is the Contractor’s responsibility to pay its subcontractors and suppliers in a timely manner. On or after the first day of each month, the Contractor will receive an email or fax notification (“audit notice”) indicating that a representative of its company needs to log-in to the NYSCS to report the company’s MWBE subcontractor and supplier payments for the preceding month. The Contractor must also report when no payments have been made to a subcontractor or supplier in a particular month with entry of a zero dollar value in the NYSCS. Once subcontractor and supplier payments have been entered into the NYSCS, the subcontractor(s) and supplier(s) will receive an email or fax notification advising them to log into the NYSCS to confirm that they actually received the reported payments from the Contractor. It is the Contractor’s responsibility to educate its MWBE subcontractors and suppliers about the NYSCS and the need to confirm payments made to them in the NYSCS.
C. To assist in the use of the NYSCS, OGS recommends that all Contractors and MWBE subcontractors and suppliers sign up for the following two webinar trainings offered through the NYSCS: “Introduction to the System – Vendor training” and “Contract Compliance Reporting - Vendor Training” to become familiar with the NYSCS. To view the training schedule and to register visit: xxxxx://xx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx/events.asp
D. As soon as possible after the Contract is approved, Contractor should visit xxxxx://xx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx and click on “Account Lookup” to identify the Contractor’s account by company name. Contact information should be reviewed and updated if necessary by choosing “Change Info.” It is important that the staff member who is responsible for reporting payment information for the Contractor be listed as a user in the NYSCS. Users who are not already listed may be added through “Request New User.” When identifying the person responsible, please add “- MWBE Contact” after his or her last name (i.e., Xxxx Xxx – MWBE Contact) to ensure that the correct person receives audit notices from the NYSCS. NYSCS Technical Support should be contacted for any technical support questions by clicking on the links for “Contact Us & Support” then “Technical Support” on the NYSCS website.
E. If Contractor is unable to report MWBE Contractor Compliance via the NYSCS, Contractor must submit a Monthly MWBE Contractor Compliance Report on Form MWBE 102 to OGS, by the 10th day of each month during the term of the Contract, for the preceding month’s activity to: OGS MWBE Office, 00xx Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxx, XX 00000. Phone: 000-000-0000; Fax: 000-000-0000.
F. It is the Contractor’s responsibility to report subcontractor and supplier payments. Failure to respond to payment audits in a timely fashion through the NYSCS, or by paper to OGS, may jeopardize future payments pursuant to the MWBE liquidated damages provisions in clause IX below.
