Verifiable goal means that the awarding authority has adopted written guidelines specifying the actions that the prime contractor must take to ensure a good faith effort in the recruitment and selection of minority businesses for participation in contracts awarded; the required actions must be documented in writing by the contractor to the appropriate awarding authority. These guidelines are published to accomplish that end. DEFINITIONS: Minority - a person who is a citizen or lawful permanent resident of the United States and who is: a.

The transaction fee shall not be stated or included as a separate item in the proposed contract or invoice. There are no additional fees or charges to the contractor for the services rendered by the Supplier Manager under this contract. Contractor will receive a credit for transaction fees they paid for the purchase of any item(s) if an item(s) is returned through no fault of the contractor. Transaction fees are non-refundable when an item is rejected and returned, or declined, due to the contractor’s failure to perform or comply with specifications or requirements of the contract. Contractor or its Authorized Reseller, as applicable, will be invoiced monthly for the State’s transaction fee by the Supplier Manager. The transaction fee shall be based on purchase orders issued for the prior month. Unless Supplier Manager receives written notice from the Contractor identifying with specificity any errors in an invoice within thirty (30) days of the receipt of invoice, such invoice shall be deemed to be correct and Contractor shall have waived its right to later dispute the accuracy and completeness of the invoice. Payment of the transaction fee by the Contractor is due to the account designated by the State within thirty (30) days after receipt of the correct invoice for the transaction fee, which includes payment of all portions of an invoice not in dispute. Within thirty (30) days of the receipt of invoice, contractor may request in writing an extension of the invoice payment due date for that portion of the transaction fee invoice for which payment of the related goods by the governmental purchasing entity has not been received by the Contractor.

INITIATING MEDIATED SETTLEMENT CONFERENCES A. Purpose of Mandatory Settlement Conferences. Pursuant to G.S. §143-128(f1) and 143- 135.26(11), these Rules are promulgated to implement a mediated settlement program designed to focus the parties’ attention on settlement rather than on claim preparation and to provide an opportunity for orderly settlement negotiations to take place. Nothing herein is intended to limit or prevent the parties from engaging in settlement procedures voluntarily at any time prior to or during commencement of the dispute resolution process. B. Initiating the Dispute Resolution Process 1. Any party to a County public construction contract (referred to herein generally as the “Contract”) governed by Article 8. Ch. 143 of the General Statutes and identified in G.S. § 143- 128(f1) and who is a party to a dispute arising out of the Contract and the construction process in which the amount in controversy is at least $15,000 may submit a written request to the County for mediation of the dispute. 2. Prior to submission of a written request for mediation to the County, the party requesting mediation should give notice of any and all claims in accordance with their respective contracts, obtain decisions on the claims as required or allowed by their respective contracts, and attempt to resolve the dispute according to the terms and conditions in their respective contracts. The Mediator may adjourn any mediated settlement conference if the Mediator believes, in his or her sole discretion, that the parties have not satisfied all of the terms and conditions of their respective contracts and that doing so will enhance the prospects for a negotiated settlement. C. Condition Precedent to Litigation. Before any party to a Contract may commence a civil action against the County seeking remedies for breach or non-performance of the Contract by the County, said party must first initiate the dispute resolution process under these rules and attend and participate in good faith in the mediated settlement conference. RULE 2. SELECTION OF MEDIATOR A. Mediator Listing. A List of Mediators acceptable to the County is maintained by the County Attorney and that list is incorporated by reference into these Rules. B. Selection of Mediator. The party requesting mediation shall select a Mediator from the List of Mediators and shall file, with the County, a Notice of Selection of Mediator within 21 days of the request for mediation. Such notice shall state the name, address, and phone number of the Mediator selected. If Docusign Envelope ID: DEDB83DA-7916-8AE5-81B0-AA1EA4D56AE9 Revised 01/24 the Mediator selected is not available or declines to participate for any reason, the requesting party shall select another person from the List of Mediators. If the party requesting mediation does not select and designate a mediator within 21 days of the request for mediation, the County shall have the right in its absolute discretion to appoint a mediator from its List of Mediators. C. Disqualification of Mediator. Any party may request replacement of the Mediator for good cause. Nothing in this provision shall preclude Mediators from disqualifying themselves. RULE 3. THE MEDIATED SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE A. Where Conference is to be Held. Unless all parties and the Mediator otherwise agree, the mediated settlement conference shall be held in county seat of Orange County. The Mediator shall be responsible for reserving a place, making arrangements for the conference, and giving timely notice of the time and location of the conference to all attorneys, unrepresented parties and other persons or entities required to attend. B. When Conference is to be Held. The mediation shall be completed within 90 days after selection of the Mediator unless all parties to the mediation agree to a different schedule. C. Request to Accelerate or Extend Deadline for Completion. Any party or the Mediator may request the County to accelerate or extend the deadline for completion of the conference. Such request shall state the reasons the acceleration or extension is sought and shall be served by the moving party upon the other parties and the Mediator. Objections to the request must be promptly communicated to the County and to the Mediator. The County, with the concurrence of the designated Mediator, may grant the request by adjusting the time for completion of the conference. D. Recesses. The Mediator may recess the mediation conference at any time and may set times for reconvening. If the Mediator determines the time and place where the conference is to reconvene before the conference is recessed, no further notice is required to persons present at the conference. E. Project Delay. The mediated settlement conference that results from a construction contract dispute shall not be cause for the delay of the construction project. RULE 4.
