(1) Appointed by the governor and confirmed by the senate, the commissioner of administration supervises the state’s service and administrative control agency and serves as a policy advisor to the governor. Whenever provisions of the statutes grant powers, impose duties, or make other reference to the comptroller, the director of Budget, the director of the Division of Planning and Construction, the state purchasing agent, or the director of Administrative Services, they are construed as referring to the commissioner of administration. The divisions of accounting; budget and planning; facilities management, design and construction; general services; information technology services; personnel; and purchasing are within the Office of Administration.

The division publishes annual financial reports, administers bond sales for the Board of Fund Commissioners, Board of Public Buildings, and Board of Unemployment Fund Financing, and administers the Social Security coverage for all employees of the state and its political subdivisions.
(3) The Division of Budget and Planning analyzes budget policy issues and provides information to the Commissioner of Administration, the governor’s office, the General Assembly, Missouri’s congressional delegation and state, local, and federal agencies. The division prepares the budget instructions, reviews agency budget requests, prepares the annual executive budget, analyzes economic and demographic conditions, forecasts state revenues, and conducts technical policy and program analyses.

Bureau of the Census.
(4) The Division of Facilities Management, Design and Construction provides asset management services to assist state entities in meeting their facility needs for the benefit of the public. The mission is to provide a superior workplace environment for state occupants and their visitors and protect the state’s investments in property assets. The goal of the division is to provide agencies with the information and resources that will support their development of highperformance workplaces—workplaces that will meet agency business needs and can be readily adapted to changing workplace practices and strategies.

(6) The Information Technology Services Division provides technology and communication services and solutions to the consolidated state’s agencies so they can efficiently and effectively serve the citizens of Missouri. It offers centralized staff and resources in a single unified entity and supports fourteen (14) executive branch departments. The organizational model allows for enterprise standards and guidance in the common areas of security, networking, data management, server administration, end user support, technical architecture, and application management.
(7) The Division of Personnel oversees personnel policies that impact the State of Missouri workforce including the Uniform Classification and Pay System (UCP). In collaboration with human resources professionals from each of the executive departments, the division develops and implements initiatives designed to benefit the state team member life-cycles, including talent acquisition, professional development, awards and recognition, and leadership and skill-based training. The division also performs the following functions:
(A) Ensures employees are assigned to appropriate job classes and develops and administers position classifications for agencies covered by the UCP;

Chapter 3 Preapproval of Claims and Accounts
1 CSR 10-3.010 Preapproval of Claims/Accounts and Direct Deposit: {#sec-1-csr-10-3.010 omnilex-key=us-mo-regs-official--title-1--1 CSR 10-3.010}
1 CSR 10-3.010 Preapproval of Claims/Accounts and Direct Deposit: Definitions/Examples {#sec-1-csr-10-3.010 omnilex-key=us-mo-regs-official--title-1--1 CSR 10-3.010}
PURPOSE: The commissioner of administration has the duty pursuant to section 33.030(3), RSMo, to preapprove claims and accounts and to certify them as being regular and correct to the state treasurer for payment. This rule defines certain terms and describes situations related to this responsibility. In addition, this
rule describes the requirements established to allow vendors on the Statewide Vendor File to participate in the direct deposit of payments and payroll deductions from employee compensation for participation in voluntary retirement plans, group hospital service plans, group life insurance plans, medical service plans, labor unions, employee associations, and credit unions.
(1) The following are types of allowable claims:
(A) Claims for goods and services having a clear business relationship to the agency work program and submitted for payment after receipt of goods or services. The claim is to be documented with an invoice billed to the state on the vendor’s descriptive business invoice form. Invoices are to be from vendors typically engaged in a business practice of providing such goods or services. Reimbursements may be made to employees for minor purchases made on behalf of the state when accompanied by descriptive receipts;
(B) Claims for expenditures made pursuant to programmatic appropriations and other statutory authority;
(C) Claims for the payment of reasonable and necessary employee travel expenses actually incurred on behalf of the state and in accordance with 1 CSR 10-11.010, State of Missouri Travel Regulations; and (D) Claims for employee course tuitions/fees and related educational supplies that are either reimbursed or direct billed.
Course expenses may be reimbursed after receipt of evidence of course completion and proof of payment. Course expenses may be paid in advance of course completion only when documentation indicates the agency requested the employee take the course.
(2) The following are types of unallowable claims unless special circumstances substantially justify the granting of an exception to this rule:
(A) Claims for the purchase of goods or services which are not apparently or cannot be substantially justified as directly related to the transaction of state business. For example, employee parties, employee gifts, holiday cards and decorations, personal club memberships, memorial flowers, political and charitable contributions, traffic tickets, and uniforms for agency sports, trivia, and similar teams. An exception is made for the purchase of retirement, service, and other recognition award gifts which may be certified as regular claims if reasonable in relation to the circumstances of the award and primarily represent a token of recognition and not a reward with a cash equivalent or substantial monetary value.
Claims for the expenses of receptions for employee recognition events should be at a nominal price per person attending.
Holiday decorations are allowed for commonly accessed public areas such as reception and waiting rooms;
(B) Claims for the repair of damages or loss of employee’s personally owned property, such as clothing and privately owned vehicles, except when such claims have been made against the state through the Office of Administration’s Risk Management Unit and approved for payment from the Legal Expense Fund;
(C) Claims with invoices prepared by state agencies rather than vendors. An exception would be for those types of payments not customarily initiated by a vendor, such as lottery prizes, uniform allowances, inter-agency billings, some refunds, and some program payments. The Missouri Lottery may write prize payment checks after the Lottery Commission submits the procedures for writing the prize payment checks to the commissioner of administration in accordance with section 313.321, RSMo;
(D) Claims submitted to pay employees of the state or others for goods or services they have sold to the state if it is evident that they are not generally engaged in the business practice of selling such goods or services. For example, an employee or employee family member or friend rents or sells personally owned property to a state agency;
(E) Claims with invoices which are not invoiced to the state department that is submitting the claim;
(F) Claims for expenditures to reimburse accounts held outside of the state treasury or not authorized by law;
(G) Claims that do not sufficiently describe the products or services purchased or the date purchased. This would include any unsupported charges or unsupported past due amounts;
(H) Programmatic claim documentation that does not sufficiently relate the expenditure to the program or does not appear to adequately support/control the payment;
(I) Claims to make payments on credit card accounts not authorized through the Office of Administration;
(J) Claims submitted for payment before the goods or services have been received. Exceptions would be for those types of items or services for which payment in advance is the normal business practice, such as subscriptions, registrations, memberships, insurance, postage, maintenance agreements, and building/parking rentals. Advance payment for travel expenses, such as air fare, conference fees, and lodging, may be allowed if in accordance with 1 CSR 10-11.010, State of Missouri Travel Regulations. Advance payment is also allowed when prepayment is a condition of the sale or is in accordance with contract terms. Ensure the invoice or other claim documentation clearly states this requirement if advance payment is made;
(K) Claims to establish imprest funds not authorized by law or to increase established imprest funds over the maximum amount allowed by law;
(L) Claims to reimburse imprest funds for expenditures that are not incidental in nature or are not for other specific uses authorized by law. Incidental expenditures are defined as payments that are occasional, minor, and immediately necessary for the proper operation of the facility. Travel expenses, including registration fees, are not to be paid from imprest funds. Imprest funds are not intended to be used as a means to circumvent state purchasing procedures; and (M) Claims for late payment penalties not submitted in accordance with the accounting procedures established by the Office of Administration, Division of Accounting. It is the submitting agencies’ responsibility to verify that late payment penalties are calculated correctly pursuant to section 34.055, RSMo. The Office of Administration, Division of Accounting, may ask for documentation to support that the agency has recalculated and verified the correct late payment penalty amount. Ensure a copy of the invoice that was paid late is attached to the late payment penalty invoice. Late payment penalties should be paid from funds appropriated in the fiscal (2/29/24) John R. Ashcroft OF ADMINISTRATION 1 CSR 10-3—OFFICE OF ADMINISTRATION year in which the goods or services were delivered. If that fiscal year has lapsed, use current fiscal year funds.
(3) The following are unallowable claims for the purpose of the appropriation charged:
(A) When the description of the claim indicates that the expenditure is not within the purpose of the appropriation being charged. For allowable claims, the following appropriation type definitions apply:
- Expense and equipment—all expenditures for operating services, supplies, rentals, professional and technical services, other charges necessary to the operation of an agency, acquisition of equipment, and major repairs that extend the useful life of the equipment.
A. Expense and equipment may also include expenditures for unanticipated maintenance, repairs or minor modifications, or unanticipated capital improvements to a stateowned or leased facility or land that are limited to up to twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) per project. Such expenditures must be approved in advance by the director of the Division of Facilities Management, Design and Construction and the director of the Division of Accounting. If a qualifying project under this section is necessary for the health and safety of the public and/or state employees and exceeds the twenty thousand dollar ($20,000) threshold established above, the Commissioner of Administration may approve the use of an expense and equipment appropriation under this section up to thirty thousand dollars ($30,000) per project. An expense and equipment appropriation may not be used for any maintenance, repair, modification, or capital improvement of a facility for which an appropriation was requested and not approved by the General Assembly.
B. Expense and equipment appropriations do not include employee’s wage/salaries, land acquisition, building acquisition, building construction, building demolition, and capital improvements other than those allowed above.
C. As used herein, the following definitions apply:
(I) Maintenance—preventative, routine, cyclical, and/ or emergency unscheduled work necessary to keep in good working condition any facility, land, or equipment;
(II) Repair—any work necessary to restore to good working condition any facility, land, or equipment; and (III) Minor modification—any alteration or improvement to a facility, land, or equipment that does not increase its capacity or operating efficiency or enhance its function;
-
Capital improvements—substantial expenditures for the purchase of capital assets (land and buildings) and the extensive repairs and improvements to a capital asset which increases its capacity or operating efficiency by extending its useful life and/or enhancing its function;
-
Personal services—all expenditures for salaries, wages, and related employee benefits; and 4. Program/specific—expenses for a group of activities or services performed for an identifiable group to serve a specific
purpose. This appropriation type allows any type of expenditure necessary to fulfill the intent of the program as defined in the corresponding house bill. Program appropriations may be broadly constructed or contain restrictive language for specific purposes;
(B) When the invoice order date or service period indicates that the expenditure is being applied to an incorrect fiscal year appropriation. For the purpose of certification for correct fiscal year, the invoice should be dated within the fiscal year being charged. If the invoice is for services, it should indicate that the services were provided in a time frame within the fiscal year being charged. Unless exempted in the following paragraphs, claims for services provided in the next fiscal year cannot be charged to the prior year appropriation:
-
Exception: Invoices for subscriptions, membership dues, post office box rentals, maintenance agreements, and premium payments for insurance coverage, may be paid from the current fiscal year even though the terms may overlap into the next fiscal year;
-
Exception: A prior year claim may be paid from a current fiscal year appropriation if the vendor presented the claim to the state agency within two (2) years after the claim began to accrue (section 33.120, RSMo);
-
Exception: A service invoice may be paid from the current fiscal year for services to be provided in the next fiscal year if the vendor is requiring immediate payment in order to grant a cost savings discount or if it is in accordance with contract terms. An example would be an invoice for a seminar to be held in the next fiscal year for which the vendor is giving an early prepayment discount. Registration fees may be paid from the current fiscal year for events to be held in the next fiscal year when time is insufficient to process the payment; and 4. Exception: A service invoice for services spanning two (2) fiscal years may be prorated between the two (2) fiscal years appropriations or paid entirely from the most recent fiscal year’s appropriation; and (C) When a claim is submitted against an appropriation for which there is an insufficient appropriation balance.
(4) The following are other types of unallowable claims pending resolution of the incorrect condition when— (A) The vendor name on the invoice/document does not agree with the vendor name entered on the warrant request;
(B) The amount to be paid does not agree with the amount on the vendor invoice/document;
(C) The object codes used do not relate to the descriptions of the goods or services purchased pursuant to the object code descriptions published in the Chart of Accounts Manual issued by the Office of Administration, Division of Accounting;
(D) Travel expense claims not in compliance with the requirements of 1 CSR 10-11.010, State of Missouri Travel Regulations; and (E) Claims for expenditures are not documented with one (1) of the delivery receiving report methods described in the Financial Policies and Procedures Manual issued by the Office of Administration, Division of Accounting. Exceptions would be for those types of items or services for which advance payment is the normal business practice or is a condition of the sale by the vendor or is in accordance with contract terms.
(5) The following are the requirements for vendors who desire to have claims paid through direct deposit:
(A) Vendors on the Statewide Vendor File desiring to participate in the state’s direct deposit program have two (2) options for enrolling. One (1) option is to complete a vendor Automated Clearing House/Electronic Funds Transfer (ACH/ EFT) Application. The application is available on the web at www.oa.mo.gov/acct under Forms. The form is also available by contacting the Office of Administration, Division of Accounting, at (573) 751-2971. The second option is to register on the State of Missouri’s eProcurement system and include ACH/EFT information when completing the registration. The completed ACH/EFT application or registration authorizes the Office of Administration to deposit (credit) a vendor’s designated checking or savings account for the payment amount.
It also authorizes a vendor’s account to be debited only when an error has occurred resulting in an erroneous payment to the vendor;
(B) Direct deposit of vendor payments will begin following the submission of a properly completed application form to the Office of Administration, Division of Accounting, or an approved registration in the eProcurement system, the successful processing of a test transaction through the banking system and the election by a state agency to make payment to a participating vendor using the direct deposit option; and (C) The state will conduct vendor direct deposit through the automated clearing house system, utilizing an originating depository financial institution. The rules of the National Automated Clearing House Association and its member local Automated Clearing House Associations apply, as limited or modified by law.

(J) Vendors need to maintain a current primary point of contact with the Office of Administration;

(2/29/24) John R. Ashcroft OF ADMINISTRATION 1 CSR 10-3—OFFICE OF ADMINISTRATION (2) Deduction Procedure.
(A) Deductions Initiated by a State Agency.
- State Agency Responsibilities. A state agency seeking to recoup an amount owed by an employee to the state from the employee’s compensation warrant must comply with the following procedure before the Division of Accounting will effectuate a deduction from an employee’s compensation warrant pursuant to section 33.103.2(4), RSMo:
A. The employee must have received notice in compliance with paragraph 2. of this subsection;
B. The state agency must provide a written communication to the Division of Accounting explaining the justification for the deduction, the method by which notice to the employee was given, a copy of the notice, the amount of the deduction, and the requested coding for the deduction;
C. The state agency must provide the Division of Accounting with the name and contact information of the state agency contact person who should field any questions or requests for additional information regarding the deduction; and D. The state agency must fully comply with this procedure no later than 12:00 p.m. six (6) working days prior to the proposed effective date of the deduction.
-
Notice to the Employee. A state agency will present to the Division of Accounting as sufficient evidence of notice to the employee of the deduction, a copy of a written communication to the employee, either in paper or electronic format, informing the employee of the amount of the deduction, the reasons for the deduction, and his/her right to appeal the deduction pursuant to this rule.
-
Requests for Additional Information. The state agency shall promptly respond to inquiries from the Division of Accounting relating to a requested deduction and provide additional information as needed. Failure to promptly provide additional information requested by the Division of Accounting may prevent the Division of Accounting from being able to process a requested deduction.
-
Deduction Processing. The Division of Accounting will process a deduction after sufficient evidence of the appropriateness of the deduction and notice to the employee has been provided by the state agency. Deductions will be processed by the Division of Accounting as near to the effective date proposed by the state agency as is practicable under the circumstances.
(B) Deductions Initiated by the Division of Accounting.
- Division of Accounting Responsibilities. The Division of Accounting will utilize the following procedure to effectuate the deduction of an amount owed by an employee to the state from an employee’s compensation warrant pursuant to section 33.103.2(4), RSMo:
A. The Division of Accounting may initiate deductions of amounts owed by an employee to the state due to erroneous overpayments, borrowed leave, or other circumstances in which the Division of Accounting can determine the amount of the deduction without receiving additional information from the state agency;
B. Prior to the effective date of the deduction, or as soon as practicable thereafter, the Division of Accounting will provide written notice to the employee, either in paper or electronic format, of the amount to be deducted, the reasons for the deduction, and his/her right to appeal the deduction pursuant to this rule; and C. The Division of Accounting will provide notice of the deduction to the state agency no later than when notice is provided to the employee.
(3) Appeal Procedure.
(A) Timing of Appeal. Appeals of deductions must be received in hard-copy by mail or hand-delivery in the Office of the Commissioner, State Capitol Building, Room 125, PO Box 809, Jefferson City, Mo 65102-0809, no later than thirty (30) calendar days after the later of the date notice is sent to the employee or the effective date of the deduction from the employee’s compensation warrant, or by the next working day thereafter if the appeal period ends on a weekend or holiday.
For example, if an employee was paid on January 15, received notice of the deduction prior to that date, and wishes to appeal a deduction taken from that paycheck, an appeal must be received no later than February 14, or by the next working day thereafter if February 14 falls on a weekend or holiday.
(B) Effect of Appeal on Pending Deduction. The submission of an appeal prior to the effective date of the deduction will not prevent the deduction from occurring so long as the state agency and/or Division of Accounting have complied with the applicable deduction procedure described in this rule, except in instances where a final decision is reached to modify the amount of the deduction or reverse the deduction with sufficient time remaining to effectuate the final decision prior to the deduction.
(C) Contents of Appeal.

-
Stopping, standing, or parking a motor vehicle in any areas restricted to handicapped parking unless the vehicle involved is marked by distinctive plates, placards, or hangtags issued to handicapped persons;

(6) Designation of No Parking and Restricted Parking Areas. The Commissioner of Administration determines those spaces where the parking, standing, or stopping of a motor vehicle is not permitted. Those spaces shall be identified with a suitable sign or by marking the curb adjacent to the spaces as follows: yellow curb markings designate no parking zones, diagonal stripes mark pedestrian crossings and restricted parking areas are designated by an appropriate symbol or leg end.
(7) In any prosecution for a violation of this
regulation, proof that the vehicle described in the complaint was in violation of any provisions of this regulation, together with proof that the defendant named in the complaint was, at the time of the violation, the owner of the vehicle, shall constitute a prima faciepresumption that the owner of the vehicle was the person who committed the violation.

1 CSR 10-11.010 State of Missouri Travel Regulations {#sec-1-csr-10-11.010 omnilex-key=us-mo-regs-official--title-1--1 CSR 10-11.010}
PURPOSE: The Office of Administration has authority to establish regulations concerning the payment of travel and subsistence expenses and this rule describes the most cost-effective and reasonable mode of travel as in accordance with section 37.450, RSMo. This rule establishes guidance for officials and employees of Missouri who travel on official business for the state, except where specific statutes provide otherwise. In addition, this rule provides guidance in reimbursing officials and employees of the counties of Missouri who use privately owned vehicles while traveling on official business for the county.
(1) Definitions. For the purpose of this rule, terms and their meanings for officials and employees of the state of Missouri, unless the content clearly indicates otherwise, are— (A) Officials and employees are all employees of the state of Missouri, statewide elected officials, members of boards, commissions, committees, advisory councils, or other individuals who are not considered employees of the state of Missouri but who are otherwise eligible for travel expense reimbursement;
(B) State agencies and officials are all departments of state government within the state of Missouri and all statewide elected officials, boards, commissions, committees, advisory councils, or other divisions of state government that authorize mileage reimbursement;
(C) Approved state credit cards are those purchasing and fuel cards authorized through the Office of Administration;
(D) Official domicile is the actual working or headquarters location of an employee or official to be determined by the head of the department or their authorized representative as best serves the interest of the state and not for the convenience or benefit of the employee;
(E) Travel authorization and reimbursement forms are those approved by the Office of Administration; and (F) Residence is the city or town in which the individual has an abode or dwelling place.
(2)
Reimbursable travel expenses are limited to those expenses authorized and essential for transacting official business of the state. Expenses incurred for the sole benefit of the state employee or official is not an allowable travel expense.
Expenses for laundry service and dry cleaning are allowed only for extended travel outside of the United States. Incidental expenses not directly related to travel may be allowed when necessary to perform official business while traveling. Ensure incidental expenses are itemized on the expense report with detailed receipts attached. Agencies will follow the policies established by the commissioner of administration for determining reimbursable expenses and necessary documentation.
(3) Officials and employees will be allowed travel expenses when traveling away from their official domicile on official state business. To qualify for reimbursement for meal(s), officials and employees will be in continuous travel status for twelve (12) hours or more. The commissioner of administration will establish per diem meal rates and procedures for individuals to follow when requesting meal expenses on the expense report.
(4) All travel outside the state requires prior approval by the director, head of the department, or their authorized representative. This rule does not apply to members of the legislature or other legislative branch employees, judges and other judicial branch employees, and elected officials of the executive branch and their employees.
(5) State department directors are authorized to promulgate and enforce regulations governing travel. Departmental regulations may be more restrictive than these regulations.
Departmental regulations are not to grant expenses that are not allowed under the state of Missouri travel regulations or policies established by the commissioner of administration.
(6) The commissioner of administration or an authorized representative may approve unusual travel expenses not covered by these regulations or modify procedures for the payment of travel expenses. The commissioner of administration may make exceptions to any of these regulations when deemed appropriate and in the best interests of the state. The request for reimbursement of exception travel expenses, or of unusual travel expenses will be made in writing to the Office of Administration.
(7) Employees and officials are expected to exercise the same care in incurring expenses as a prudent person would exercise if traveling on personal business.
(8) Alcoholic beverages are not an allowable travel expense for officials and employees.
(9) Travel expenses for lodging, commercial transportation (vehicle rental, air fare, bus, taxi, or similar rideshare services and rail), fuel, and conference registration will be paid using the approved state credit cards when available. Travel expenses may be direct billed to the state or reimbursed to the employee if necessary; however, the general practice is for payment by state credit card. Advance payment for air fare, conference fees, and lodging is allowed if it is a condition of the expense or if advance payment results in a cost savings. Reimbursement to the employee for lodging, commercial transportation, conference registration, meals, incidentals, and mileage can only be made after the travel has occurred.
(10) Travel may be accomplished by plane, train, bus, private or state-owned vehicle, rented vehicle, or taxi or similar rideshare services, whichever method serves the requirements of the state most economically and advantageously. The following rules apply for traveling by vehicle or commercial transportation.
(A) Officials and employees will utilize the most cost effective vehicular travel option when traveling on state business. All relevant factors such as the urgency; nature of travel required; type of vehicle required for the number of passengers, tool or equipment load; employee time and effort; official domicile; proximity to rental or state vehicles; and other administrative costs will be considered when selecting the most cost effective travel option.
(B) Officials or agencies will establish internal procedures that require appropriate documentation to support the vehicular travel decisions made by their agency and employees.
Officials and employees will utilize the Trip Optimizer or other equivalent method to calculate travel costs and ensure officials and employees use the most cost effective vehicular travel option for each trip. The Trip Optimizer assists in determining (8/31/23) John R. Ashcroft OF ADMINISTRATION 1 CSR 10-11—OFFICE OF ADMINISTRATION the most cost effective travel option for instate single trips. A single trip includes any number of trips taken by an individual during the same day. Officials or agencies will specifically approve and justify any exceptions to this rule and retain the documentation as part of the related financial transaction.
(C) Officials and employees traveling to the same destination will car pool whenever possible. Employees who elect to travel using their personal vehicle when car pooling is available will be denied reimbursement if space is reasonably available in a state-owned or rental vehicle traveling to the same destination for the same purpose.
(D) Officials and employees will drive state vehicles while on state business that requires travel unless an exception applies as set forth in subsection (9)(I) of this rule. When a state vehicle is available to the official or employee and the official or employee elects to drive a privately owned vehicle, the maximum reimbursement rate for an official or employee is limited to the established state fleet rate. When a state vehicle is not available, but a rental vehicle is reasonably available and is a lower cost option for the trip, the maximum mileage reimbursement for the official or employee is not to exceed the cost of the rental option, including the cost of fuel.
(E) Officials or agencies may establish savings thresholds whereby an official or employee may utilize the next lowest cost option without supervisory approval. Officials or agency thresholds may vary depending on several factors including proximity of state vehicles or rental vehicles and administrative expenses involved in making travel arrangements.
(F) For travel in privately owned vehicles, the state mileage allowance will be at the current rate(s) ordered by the commissioner of administration pursuant to section 33.095, RSMo. The commissioner of administration will periodically issue mileage reimbursement rates comprised of a standard rate and a state fleet rate. Agencies should use the appropriate rate for each trip as determined by policy established by the commissioner of administration. Reimbursement rates should not exceed the rate established by the commissioner of administration unless required by a court order. When more than one (1) person travels in the same vehicle, only the owner of the vehicle is allowed mileage. The state mileage reimbursement rate(s) represents full compensation for the costs of operating a privately owned vehicle. The mileage reimbursement rate shall be computed at a rate not to exceed the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) standard mileage rate. Any change to the maximum rate is effective on July 1 of the year the IRS changes their standard mileage rate. The state fleet reimbursement rate reflects the average cost of operating a mid-size sedan in the state vehicle fleet. The standard mileage and state fleet rate may be more restrictive depending on the budget. Physical damage or loss to a private vehicle and/ or its personal property contents is not covered by the state.
Coverage should be obtained through personal auto insurance.
Liability coverage must be maintained through personal auto insurance in accordance with state law.
(G) Officials or employees incurring commuting miles in a state vehicle will report such use utilizing the cents-permile method for inclusion in employee gross income and in accordance with procedures issued by the commissioner of administration.
(H) For travel by rented vehicle, the rental should be paid using the approved state credit card or direct billed to the state if necessary. The preferred method of refueling rental vehicles on state business is to utilize a fleet fuel card designed by the agency as a rental card, otherwise, the employee may be reimbursed for fuel expenses. Weekly or monthly vehicle rental rates will be allowed if the cost is less than the total cost of renting at the daily rate and the employee has a business need for the vehicle rental the majority of the working days during the rental period. Rental vehicles are considered state vehicles and should be used for official business only in accordance with state policy. The State Legal Expense Fund provides liability coverage for the usage of rental vehicles for official state business. For that reason, employees will not be reimbursed for any vehicle rental insurance incurred. Employees will carry insurance coverage for personal use of rental vehicles at their own expense. Accident(s) in rental vehicles should be reported to the Office of Administration, Risk Management Section.
(I) Notwithstanding subsection (9)(D) of this rule, officials or employees who use privately owned vehicles for official state business may be reimbursed up to the standard mileage reimbursement rate when— 1. They are members of boards, commissions, committees, advisory councils, or other individuals who are not considered employees of the state of Missouri but who are otherwise eligible for mileage reimbursement;
-
They are officials or employees who otherwise would be traveling in a state vehicle and where another official or employee could utilize the state vehicle to a greater extent;
-
The Trip Optimizer results indicate that mileage reimbursement is the lowest cost option; or 4. They are officials or employees who have a documented physical condition that requires them to operate vehicles equipped to accommodate their specific needs.
(J) Officials or employees denied the use of a state vehicle due to their driving record may be reimbursed for use of a privately owned vehicle up to the state fleet rate.
(K) Officials or employees who operate their personal vehicle on state business must do so in compliance with the Motor Vehicle Financial Responsibility Law, Chapter 303, RSMo.
Officials or employees and/or their insurer may be held liable for damages resulting from an accident that occurs while operating their vehicle on state business.
(L) When an airport is within fifty (50) miles of the employee’s official domicile or residence and transportation to and from the airport is provided by a family member or friend, the employee may be reimbursed for vehicle mileage for up to two (2) round trips. The routing of each trip for mileage computation will be by the most commonly traveled route unless unusual circumstances warrant other less direct routes.
(M) Commercial air travel is the preferred method of transportation outside of the state unless other methods of travel are more economical or advantageous to the state.
Air travel is not, however, to exceed coach fare for the most direct available route. Travel in a chartered aircraft (chartered from a nonaffiliated party and piloted by the charter service) may be allowed upon prior approval by the commissioner of administration. Travel outside the state by commercial common carrier surface transportation, in lieu of air transportation, will be limited to the actual cost of the surface carrier plus any other actual expenses (meals, conference registration, lodging, etc.). Travel outside of the state by rented vehicle or privately owned vehicle, in lieu of air transportation, will be limited to the cost of the rented vehicle and necessary fuel or state mileage allowance plus any actual expenses which would have been allowed or provided if taking air transportation. The total allowable expenses cannot, however, exceed the reasonable coach airfare available at that time to the same destination.
(11) State employees and officials may be reimbursed for travel expenses incurred for other employees or nonemployees provided the specific business reason necessary for doing so is indicated along with the names of those involved. This is intended to be used for those common types of travel situations where it is normal and practical for one (1) individual to pay for an expense rather than be divided among all individuals.
(12) No official or employee will be allowed hotel or meals while in their city of official domicile. While traveling on state business, employees and officials will not be allowed hotel expenses when it would be more economical and advantageous to the state to return to their residence. Mileage will be reimbursed and computed between the travel site destination and the employee’s official domicile or residence, if leaving directly from the residence, whichever is less.
Agency-provided meal expenses will be in accordance with department provided food policy.
(13) The following procedures apply to all payments or reimbursements:
(A) Descriptive invoices for lodging, conference registration, airline/air charter, vehicle rental, bus, and rail transportation will be provided and, if applicable, a copy of an approved Out of State Travel Authorization Form attached to each payment request;
(B) When an individual is requesting reimbursement for lodging, conference registration, airline/air charter, bus, and rail transportation, the following procedures apply:
- The individual requesting reimbursement will provide— A. Proof of payment. Proof of payment may be in the form of a vendor receipt or a vendor marking on the invoice document that the charge has been paid. Proof of payment may also be in the form of a credit card receipt, credit card statement copy showing the charge, or a copy of a personal check that has been canceled by the bank; and B. An original signature on the expense report verifying that the reimbursement claim is correct. Rubber stamps or facsimile signatures for the claimant and/or supervisor are not allowed. An electronic signature may be used with prior approval by the commissioner of administration or designee after appropriate audit trails and controls have been established for such signatures;
C. For situations where a descriptive invoice or proof of payment is not available, departments should establish alternative procedures with prior approval by the commissioner of administration or designee;
- Fiscal personnel will— A. Verify that travel reimbursement claims are correct.
Primary responsibility for authenticating travel reimbursement claims rests with the department and agency directors;
B. Ensure that any unusual expenses incurred are itemized on the expense report and accompanied by receipts for payment. The justification for incurring any unusual expenses will be fully explained by letter or notation on the expense report form;
(C) All claims for reimbursement of expenses will be itemized and attested to by the claimant and approved by individuals so designated by the director of the department or as otherwise provided by state law.
(14) Reimbursement for recruiting and relocation expenses for new or existing employees and their families will be made in accordance with the applicable department’s policy. If a department does not have a written policy, those expenses will be paid based upon the Office of Administration employee relocation policy.
(15) Where an officer or employee of any county, except for first class counties with a charter form of government, is paid a mileage allowance or reimbursement, the allowance or reimbursement may be computed at a rate determined by the county, but not to exceed the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) standard mileage rate less three cents (3¢) per mile. Any change to the maximum rate is effective on July 1 of the year the IRS changes their standard mileage rate.

PURPOSE: This rule establishes a program by which Minority Business Enterprises (MBEs) and Women’s Business Enterprises (WBEs) may be certified by the Office of Equal Opportunity (OEO).
(1) Any firm desiring to obtain certification as a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) or Women’s Business Enterprise (WBE) shall submit an application and required documentation to the Office of Equal Opportunity (OEO), and be registered and in good standing with the Missouri Secretary of State, if applicable. There are two (2) methods to obtain certification—initial/standard and rapid response.
(2) An applicant is required to submit to OEO documentation related to the legal structure, ownership, and control of the firm that is necessary to determine eligibility for certification. Such documentation may include, but is not limited to: Articles of Incorporation/Organization, shareholder meeting minutes, bylaws or operating agreements, board meeting minutes, partnership agreements, stock ledgers and certificates, tax returns, lease and loan agreements, bank account signature cards, and joint venture agreements.
(A) The application must be signed by all of the applicant firm’s minority or women owners who are in control of the firm. The application must include a statement attesting to the accuracy, completeness, and truthfulness of the information on and accompanying the application form.
(B) Each application received shall be reviewed by OEO for completeness, and the applicant firm will be notified in writing by OEO of any additional information required.
The additional information requested must be received within a maximum of thirty (30) days from the date on the notice for additional information or as otherwise specified in writing by OEO. After that period, if the additional information required has not been received by OEO and no extension of time has been requested and granted in writing, OEO may deny the application for the firm’s failure or refusal to provide the relevant infor mation requested by OEO.
(C) After all required information is received, an on-site visit to the office(s) of the applicant firm whose principal place of business is located in Missouri and possible visits to job sites at which the firm is working in Missouri, may be scheduled by OEO.
OEO will not make an on-site visit to a firm whose principal place of business is outside of Missouri, but will contact the firm’s home state (or another certifying entity) for a copy of its on-site visit.
(3) An applicant seeking certification has the burden of demonstrating to OEO, by a preponderance of the evidence, that it meets the requirements of section 37.020, RSMo, and these regulations.
(4) Initial/standard certification and a rapid response certification are effective for three (3) years from the date of issuance. Joint venture certifications are effective for either two (2) years or the term of the joint venture, whichever occurs first.
(5) Rapid Response Certifications. An applicant who possesses a current M/WBE certification or equivalent from another qualified certifying entity as determined by OEO may apply for certification through OEO’s rapid response application process. The on-site review report from the primary certifying entity must be received by OEO. OEO shall provide a list of qualified certifying entities.
Certification by another certifying entity does not guarantee certification by OEO regardless of the other certifying entity which may have previously or currently certified a firm as a M/WBE, OEO will make an independent determination of whether the applicant firm will be certified.
(6) If an applicant is approved for certification, a notice of approval and a certificate will be sent to the Minority and/or Women’s Business Enterprise (M/WBE) by OEO. Such certification may identify the specific category or categories of work or industry code(s) in which the firm is certified. The firm and its pertinent information, including any approved specific categories of work shall be added to OEO’s directory.
(7) A firm certified by OEO must notify OEO in writing of any changes that may affect its eligibility for continued certification under section 37.020, RSMo, and these regulations within thirty (30) days of the effective date of such change. The notice must provide supporting documentation describing in detail the nature of such change(s).
(8) An applicant denied certification or whose certification is revoked will be notified in writing of the reasons for denial or revocation. Reasons may include, but are not limited to: incomplete or inaccurate application, failure to provide requested information, failure to meet certification standards, or failure to cooperate during the certification process.
If OEO denies or revokes a certification, an applicant may appeal to the commissioner.
The appeal shall be in writing and addressed to the commissioner. The appeal shall be received by the commissioner no later than twenty-one (21) calendar days from the date of the denial or revocation notification.
Appeals received by the commissioner after twenty-one (21) calendar days will not be considered. The appeal shall clearly state why the denial or revocation is alleged to be in error. Information that was requested but not provided before the denial or revocation will not be considered in an appeal. The commissioner’s decision shall be final. Applicants denied certification or revocation are ineligible to reapply for one (1) year from the date of the denial or revocation notification.
(9) A third party who has reason to believe that an applicant has been wrongly denied or granted certification as an M/WBE or joint venture may file a third-party challenge with OEO. A challenge by a third party is not considered an appeal.
(A) The third-party challenge must be submitted in writing with supporting documentation in sufficient detail to support the allegations. OEO may require additional documentation from the challenger.
(B) The third-party challenge must contain the name, address, telephone number, and signature of the challenger.
(C) Third-party challenges will not be considered confidential.
(D) OEO will review the complaint and related material concerning the firm in question, including available material from other sources within or outside OEO. OEO may conduct an investigation, including requests for information or documentation and unannounced site visits. However, OEO is not obligated to conduct any investigation beyond a document review. At an appropriate time in the complaint investigative phase, OEO will notify the certified firm in writing that a complaint alleging the firm’s ineligibility has been filed. OEO may request additional information from the firm relating to the allegations.
(E) After OEO has reviewed the complaint and conducted any investigation deemed necessary, OEO shall make a determination whether there is reasonable cause to believe that the firm in question is ineligible to be certified.
(F) If OEO finds reasonable cause to believe that the firm is ineligible, OEO will provide written notice to the firm that OEO proposes to find the firm ineligible, setting forth the reasons for the proposed determination and supporting documentation. If OEO determines that such reasonable cause does not exist, it will notify the complainant and the firm in writing of this determination and the reasons for it.
(G) If OEO notifies a firm of its ineligibility, the firm may appeal the decision to the commissioner pursuant to the requirements of
section (9) of this regulation.
(H) OEO may decline rather than deny certification when one (1) or more questions are identified during the preview for certification. Applicants declined certification will be notified in writing and may respond with additional documentation or clarification within the time frame stated in the notice.
(I) Firms shall cooperate fully with OEO’s request for information relevant to the certification process. Failure or refusal to provide such information is grounds for a denial or revocation of certification.
(10) OEO will be guided by the following standards when evaluating applicants for certification:
(A) In determining whether an applicant meets the requirements of section 37.020, RSMo, and these regulations, OEO will consider all information in its possession;
(B) OEO will evaluate an applicant based on current circumstances and will not deny certification solely because an applicant was not owned or controlled by a minority or woman at some time in the past;
(C) OEO may authorize a one- (1-) year provisional certification in certain circumstances, such as to allow time for a minority or woman to transition from being an employee to a business owner, to allow entities who have not been in business for at least a year to be certified, or to review tax information that is not available for a new firm at the time of application;
(D) An applicant will not be denied certification solely because it is a newly-formed firm; has not completed projects or contracts at the time of its application; has not yet realized profits from its activities; or has not demonstrated a potential for success; and (E) Per OEO’s discretion, it shall grant certification to a firm, and such certification may identify the specific category or categories of work or industry code in which the firm is certified. To become certified in an additional type of work after initial certifica tion, OEO 4CODE OF STATE REGULATIONS may require the firm to demonstrate that it meets the criteria for certification to perform that type of work. OEO shall not require that the firm be recertified or submit a new application for certification, but OEO may verify the minority or woman owner’s control of the firm in the additional category of work.
-
OEO shall use categories or codes that describe, as specifically as possible, the principal goods or services which the firm provides to its customers. Multiple categories or codes may be assigned where appropriate.
-
OEO and the certified firm shall ensure that the categories or codes listed in a certification are kept up-to-date and accurate.
The firm bears the burden of providing detailed company information to OEO to make an appropriate designation.
-
If a firm and OEO agree that there is not a category or code that fully or clearly describes the type(s) of work in which the firm is seeking to be certified, the firm may request that OEO, in its certification documentation, supplement the assigned category or code with a clear, specific, and detailed narrative description of the type of work in which the firm is certified. OEO may grant such request, if appropriate. A vague, general, or confusing description is not sufficient.
-
OEO is not precluded from changing at any time a certification classification or description if there is a factual basis supported by documentation pursuant to the process identified in section (14) of this regulation.
(11) Each year following the original date of certification, OEO will notify each firm certified under this program. Each firm must accurately, truthfully, and fully provide the requested information and supporting documentation to OEO. The annual update information and supporting documentation must be verified by all of the applicant firm’s minority or women owners who are in control of the firm. The verification shall be in the form of a statement attesting to the accuracy, completeness, and truthfulness of the information and supporting documentation. OEO may revoke the certification of a firm that fails to complete and return the form. If changes have taken place, the M/WBE must provide information and/or documentation to substantiate that it continues to meet the requirements of these regulations as required by section (7) of this regulation.
(12) OEO will notify a certified firm approximately sixty (60) days before the expiration date of the certification. However, regardless of whether the firm receives the recertification notification, it is the firm’s responsibility to timely submit the required information and supporting documentation. If the recertification update materials and supporting documentation are received by OEO on or before the certification expiration date, then the firm’s certification will not lapse on the third anniversary date after certification. While a timely recertification application is pending, the prior certification shall continue until OEO rules on the recertification request. If recertification information and supporting documentation are not timely received by OEO on or before the anniversary date of certification, then that firm’s certification shall lapse, and the firm shall no longer be certified as an M/WBE, and will be removed from the active list of certified M/WBE vendors. Should a firm whose certification has lapsed later apply for M/WBE certification with OEO, that firm shall remain without M/WBE certification unless and until its new M/WBE certification is approved by OEO.
Recertification will be determined by information submitted on the renewal update, tax returns, and any documented changes regarding ownership, management, or control.
Recertification is not guaranteed. Rapid response recertification is subject to continued certification by another qualified certifying entity as determined by OEO.
(13) Revocation of Certification.
(A) If, based on notification by the firm of a change in its circumstances or other information that comes to OEO’s attention, a determination is made that there is reasonable cause to believe that the currently certified firm is ineligible for certification in whole or per certain categories or codes, OEO shall provide written notice to the firm that OEO proposes to find the firm ineligible. The notice shall set forth the reasons for the proposed determination and state the date by which the firm must provide a written response to the proposed determination if it desires to challenge OEO’s determination.
Reasons for ineligibility may include, but are not limited to, a change in the firm’s circumstance effecting eligibility such as information not available to OEO at the time the firm was certified or information relevant to eligibility that was concealed or misrepresented by the firm; the firm’s certification with OEO is based on certification by another entity whose certification has been revoked; a change in the certification standards or requirements; or OEO’s decision to certify the firm was against the weight of the evidence. The firm may respond in writing to the stated reasons and provide arguments as to why the firm should remain certified.
OEO shall provide written notice of its final decision regarding the status of the firm’s certification. Firms found to be ineligible may appeal to the commissioner pursuant to the procedures set forth in section (9) of this regulation.
(B) OEO shall immediately suspend a firm without adhering to the requirements in sub-
section (14)(A) of this regulation when an individual owner, whose ownership and control of the firm is necessary to the firm’s certification, dies or is incarcerated.
(14) OEO will use the following standards in determining ownership:
(A) In considering whether a minority or woman owns a firm, OEO will consider all relevant facts viewed as a whole, including the origin of all assets and how and when they were used to acquire the ownership interest in the firm. All transactions for the establishment of ownership (or transfer of ownership) must be in the normal course of business, reflecting commercial and arms-length practices;
(B) The contribution of capital or expertise by the minorities or women to acquire their ownership interests in a firm shall be real, substantial, and continuing, going beyond pro formaownership of the firm as reflected in ownership documents. Proof of contribution of capital shall be submitted at the time of the application. When the contribution of capital is through a loan, documentation must be provided to OEO of the value of assets used as collateral for the loan. Examples of insufficient contributions include: a promise to contribute capital, capitalization not commensurate with the value for the firm, participation as employee rather than a manager, or an unsecured note payable to the firm or an owner or former owner who is not a minority or woman. Debt instruments from financial institutions or other organizations that lend funds in the normal course of their business do not render a firm ineligible, even if the debtor’s ownership interest is security for the loan;
(C) Securities held in trust, or by a guardian for a minor, shall not be considered as held by a minority or woman in determining the ownership or control of a firm. However, securities or assets held in trust are considered as held by a minority or a woman for purposes of determining ownership of the firm if— 1. The beneficial owner of securities or assets held in trust is a minority or a woman, and the trustee is the same or another such individual;
- The beneficial owner of a trust is a minority or a woman who, rather than the trustee, exercises effective control over the management, policy-making, and daily activities of the firm; or 3. Assets held in a revocable living trust may be counted only if the same minority and/or woman is the sole grantor, beneficiary, and trustee;
(D) In determining ownership of a firm, assets or interests acquired in the following ways will be considered held by a minority or woman:
- From a final property settlement or court order in a divorce or legal separation, provided that no term or condition of the agreement or divorce decree is inconsistent with these regulations; or 2. Through inheritance, or otherwise because of the death of the former owner;
(E) Expertise of a minority or woman applicant may be regarded as a contribution toward ownership if the minority or woman has a significant financial investment in the firm and if the expertise is— 1. In a specialized field;
-
Of outstanding quality;
-
In areas critical to the firm’s operations;
-
Indispensable to the firm’s potential success;
-
Specific to the type of work the firm performs; and 6. Documented in the records of the firm. These records must clearly show the contribution of expertise and its value to the firm;
(F) Ownership and control of the firm by the minorities or women must be real, substantial, and continuing. The minorities or women shall enjoy the customary incidents of ownership and shall share in the risks and profits commensurate with ownership, as demonstrated by the substance, not merely the form, of arrangements. Any terms or practices that give a non-minority or male a priority or superior right to a firm’s profits, compared to the minority or woman owner, are grounds for denial;
(G) The applicant must show that ownership has not been acquired as a gift or by transfer without adequate consideration from a non-minority or male, within one (1) year before application. Thereafter, it is presumed that ownership is not held by the minority or woman if received from a non-minority or male who— 1. Continues to be involved in the same firm for which the applicant is seeking certification or is an affiliate of that firm in a manner that suggests control of the firm;
- Continues to be involved in the same or similar line of business that suggests control of the firm; or 3. Is engaged in an ongoing business relationship with the firm, or an affiliate of the firm, for which the individual is seeking certification;
(H) To overcome the presumption in sub-
section (15)(G), the minority or woman must clearly demonstrate to OEO that— 1. The gift or transfer to the minority or woman was made for reasons other than obtaining certification; and 2. The minority or woman actually controls the management, policy, and daily operations of the firm, notwithstanding the continuing participation of a non-minority or male who provided the gift or transfer;
(I) When marital assets (other than the assets of the firm in question), held jointly or as community property by both spouses, are used to acquire the ownership interest asserted by a minority or woman spouse, OEO will deem the ownership interest in the firm to have been acquired by the minority or woman with his or her own individual resources, provided that the other spouse irrevocably renounces and transfers all rights in the ownership interest in the manner sanctioned by the laws of the state in which the spouse is domiciled. A copy of the document legally transferring and renouncing the non-minority or male spouse’s rights in the jointly-held or community assets used to acquire an ownership interest in the firm must be included with the firm’s application. OEO cannot count a greater portion of joint or community property assets toward ownership than applicable state law would recognize as belonging to the minority or woman owner of the applicant firm; and (J) A contribution of capital may be real and substantial even though financing agreements, contracts for the purchase or sale of real estate or personal property, bank signature cards, and the like, require the co-signature of a spouse who is not a minority or a woman.
(15) OEO will use the following standards in determining control:
(A) The minority or women owners must have the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of the firm and to make day-to-day as well as long-term decisions on matters of management, policy, and operations. There can be no restrictions upon the minority or woman’s discretion;
(B) Only independent firms are eligible for certification. A firm is independent if its viability does not depend on its relationship with another firm or firms. In determining whether a firm is independent, OEO will consider the firm’s relationships with non-M/WBEs in areas such as personnel, facilities, equipment, and financial and bonding support and other resources. OEO must con sider whether a present or recent employer/employee relationship between minority or women owners of the applicant and any non-M/WBE firms or persons associated with those firms compromise the independence of the applicant. OEO will examine the firm’s relationship with any applicable contractor to determine whether a pattern of exclusive or primary dealings with a contractor compromises the independence of the potential firm;
(C) There can be no restrictions through corporate charters, by-laws, contracts, or any other formal or informal devices (e.g., cumulative voting rights, voting powers attached to different classes of stock, employment contracts, requirements for concurrence by nonminority or non-female partners, conditions precedent or subsequent, executory agreements, voting trusts, restrictions on or assignments of voting rights) that prevent the minority or woman, without the cooperation or vote of any non-minority or male, from making any business decision of the firm.
This does not preclude a spousal co-signature on documents;
(D) A minority or woman must hold the highest official position in the firm (e.g., chief executive officer or president). Board meeting minutes must be provided to verify the results of the most recent officer election, if applicable;
(E) In a corporation, the minority or women owners must control the board of directors. Shareholder meeting minutes and by-laws must be provided to verify who is elected to the board and establish who controls it. In a partnership, one (1) or more of the minority or women owners must serve as general partners, with control over all partnership decisions. A written partnership agreement must be provided. In a limited liability corporation (LLC), the minority or women owners must be the managing members. The operating agreement must be provided to OEO;
(F) Certification will not be denied solely because non-minorities or males may be involved with a firm as owners, managers, employees, stockholders, officers, or directors. Non-minorities or males must not, however, have or exercise the power to control the firm, or be disproportionately responsible for the daily operations of the firm;
(G) The minority or women owners of the firm may delegate various areas of the management, policymaking, or daily operations of the firm to other participants in the firm, regardless of whether these participants are non-minorities or males. Such delegations of
(H) The minority or women owners must have an overall understanding of, and managerial and technical competence or experience directly related to, the type of business in which the firm is engaged and the firm’s operations. The minority or women owners are not required to have experience or expertise in every critical area of the firm’s operation, or to have greater experience or expertise in a given field than managers or key employees. The minority or women owners must have the ability to evaluate information presented by other participants in the firm’s activities and be able to use this information to make independent decisions concerning the firm’s daily operations, management, and policymaking. Generally, expertise limited to office management, administration, or bookkeeping functions unrelated to the principal business activities of the firm is insufficient to demonstrate competency of the business’s area of expertise and control over its daily operations;
(I) If state or local law requires the business to maintain a particular license or other credential in order to own or operate a certain type of firm, then the minority or women owners who exercise majority control of that type of business must possess the required license or credential. If state or local law does not require those persons to have such a license or credential in order to own or operate such a firm, OEO will not deny certification solely on the grounds that the minority or women owners lack such license or credential. However, OEO will consider the absence of the license or credential as one (1) factor in determining whether the minority or women owners actually exercise daily control over the firm;
(J) OEO will consider the difference in remuneration between the minority or women owners and other participants in the firm in determining whether to certify a firm. Such consideration shall be in the context of the duties of the persons involved, normal industry practices, the firm’s practices and policies concerning the reinvestment of income, and any other explanations for the difference offered by the firm. Based upon the evidence, OEO will make a determination about whether a firm is controlled by its minority or women owners, even though that owner’s remuneration may be lower than other participants in the firm. In a case where a nonminority or male owner has formerly controlled the firm, and a minority or a female owner now controls it, OEO may consider the difference between the remuneration of the former and current controller of the firm as a factor in determining who exercises true control over the firm, particularly when the nonminority or male owner remains involved with the firm and continues to receive greater compensation than the minority or female owner;
(K) In order to be viewed as controlling a firm, a minority or female owner cannot engage in outside employment or other business interests that could conflict with the management of the firm or prevent them from devoting sufficient time and attention to the affairs of the firm to control its daily activities. For example, absentee ownership or management of a firm and part-time work in a full-time firm are viewed as not exercising effective daily control over the firm;
(L) Minority or women owners may control a firm even though one (1) or more of the individual’s immediate family members (who themselves are not minorities or women) participate in the firm as a manager, employee, owner, or in some other capacity. OEO will consider how much control the minority or women owners exercise as compared to other persons involved in the business, without regard to whether those other persons are immediate family members;
(M) If OEO cannot determine that the minority or woman owner versus the family as a whole actually controls the firm, then the minority or female owners have failed to meet their burden of proof concerning control, even though they may participate significantly in the firm’s activities;
(N) If a firm was formerly owned and controlled by a non-minority or male who still remains involved in the firm, then the minority or women owners seeking certification must show that— 1. The transfer of ownership and/or control to the minority or women owners was made for reasons other than to obtain certification; and 2. The minority or women owners actually control the management, policy, and daily operations of the firm, notwithstanding the continuing participation of a non-minority or male who formerly owned and/or controlled the firm;
(O) In determining whether a firm is actually controlled by its minority or women owners, OEO will consider whether the firm owns equipment necessary to perform its work. Lack of control by a minority or woman owner will not be found solely because a firm leases, rather than owns such equipment, if leasing equipment is a normal industry practice, and the lease is not with a contractor or other party that compromises the independence of the firm;
(P) Lack of control by a minority or woman owner will not be found solely because a firm leases employees so long as the minority or women owners maintain an employer-employee relationship with the leased employees and are responsible for hiring, firing, training, assigning, and otherwise controlling the leased employees;
(Q) A firm operating under a franchise or license agreement may be controlled by a minority or woman even though the franchise or license arrangement imposes restraints relating to standardized quality, advertising, accounting format, and the like, so long as the firm has the right to profit from its efforts, bears the risk of loss commensurate with ownership, and meets all other requirements of section 37.020, RSMo, and these regulations. Factors that indicate a lack of control by the minority or woman owner include common management or excessive restrictions on the sale or transfer of the franchise interest or license;
(R) In order for a partnership to be deemed controlled by a minority or a woman, any non-minority or male partners must be incapable of, without the specific written authorization of the minority or female partners, contractually binding the partnership. A written partnership agreement is necessary to establish both ownership and control;
(S) Recognition of a business as a separate entity for tax or corporate purposes is not necessarily sufficient to demonstrate that a firm is an independent business, owned and controlled by a woman or minority; and (T) A firm that is owned by an Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian organization, rather than by Indians or Native Hawaiians as individuals, may be eligible for certification if otherwise qualifying. Such a firm must be controlled by Indians or Native Hawaiians.
(16) An applicant that is not owned by minorities or women, but is instead owned by another firm, even though that firm is a certified M/WBE, is ineligible to be certified as an M/WBE except as provided below:
(A) If the minority or women owners own and control the applicant firm through a parent or holding company, established for tax, capitalization, or other purposes consistent with industry practices, and the parent or holding company, in turn, owns and controls an operating subsidiary, OEO may certify the subsidiary if it otherwise meets all requirements of these regulations. In this situation, the individual owners and operators of the parent or holding company are deemed to control the subsidiary through the parent or holding company;
(B) OEO may certify such a subsidiary as an M/WBE if and only if the subsidiary is fifty-one percent (51%) cumulatively owned by a minority or a woman. The following examples illustrate how the provision for cumulative ownership works:
-
Example 1: A minority or a woman owns one hundred percent (100%) of a holding company which in turn has a whollyowned subsidiary. The subsidiary may be certified as an M/WBE, if it meets all other requirements of these regulations;
-
Example 2: A minority or woman owns one hundred percent (100%) of a holding company which, in turn, owns fifty-one percent (51%) of a subsidiary. The subsidiary may be certified, if it meets all other requirements of these regulations;
-
Example 3: A minority or woman owns eighty percent (80%) of a holding company which in turn, owns seventy percent (70%) of a subsidiary. In this case, the cumulative ownership of the subsidiary by a minority or a woman is fifty-six percent (56%)
(80% of 70%=56%). This is more than the fifty-one percent (51%) threshold, so it may be certified as an M/WBE, if it meets all other requirements of these regulations;
- Example 4: A minority or a woman owns sixty percent (60%) of the holding company, which, in turn, owns fifty-one percent (51%) of a subsidiary. In this case, the cumulative ownership would be thirty-one percent (31%) (60% of 51%=31%). This is less than the required fifty-one percent (51%) threshold, so it cannot be certified as an M/WBE; or 5. Example 5: Someone other than the minority or women owners of the parent or holding company controls the subsidiary.
Even though the subsidiary is owned by minorities or women, through the holding or parent company, it cannot be certified as an M/WBE because it does not meet the control requirement.
(17) Joint Venture. As required by section 37.020.1(3)(b), RSMo, in order to qualify for joint venture certification, at least fiftyone percent (51%) of the ownership interest in the joint venture must be held by minorities, and the management and daily business operations of the joint venture must be controlled by one (1) or more of the minorities who own it. OEO shall require a joint venture applicant to submit documentation including, but not limited to, a copy of the joint venture agreement and a copy of the certification issued to the M/WBE participant in the joint venture. Any changes proposed in the joint venture agreement must be filed with and approved by OEO prior to the implementation of the changes in order to maintain certification. Failure to comply may result in revocation of the joint venture certification.

PURPOSE: This rule establishes a program to encourage and facilitate the utilization of Minority Business Enterprises (MBEs) and Women’s Business Enterprises (WBEs) (collectively, M/WBEs) by assuring that they have the maximum opportunity to participate in procurements financed in whole or in part with state funds.
(1) The Office of Equal Opportunity (OEO) will provide assistance to Minority and Women’s Business Enterprises (M/WBEs).
Assistance provided may include, but is not limited to: workshops, bid history and pricing abstracts, minority vendor registration, access to state agency procurement staff, inclusion in the M/WBE online directory, notification of bid opportunities to promote increased participation, and referrals to agencies that may provide specialized training or assist with financing and bonding issues.
(2) By collaborating with the Divisions of Purchasing and Facilities Management, Design and Construction within the Office of Administration, OEO will encourage participation in the procurement process and fairness in consideration of bids and proposals submitted by M/WBEs. Programs and procedures designed by OEO to accomplish these objectives may include: providing diversity training for state procurement personnel; identifying minority and women personnel to serve on evaluation committees; closely reviewing the requirements for bonding; notifying M/WBEs of procurement opportunities online; and actively collaborating with executive branch agencies.
(3) OEO will compile and maintain a directory of certified M/WBEs. The directory will include each firm’s name, address, phone number, email address, firm’s status as an M/WBE, age of the firm, and the categories of work the firm has been certified to perform. The directory will be available online to bidders, contractors, and the public.
(4) OEO will support the Division of Purchasing in setting individual contract percentages for M/WBEs to help meet the State’s Annual Aspirational Program Goals and work to further its programs in accordance with
section 37.020, RSMo; any successor or similar statutes; executive orders based upon a study to determine the availability of qualified M/WBEs; and any other pertinent information. OEO will periodically review M/WBE contract goal setting procedures, M/WBE utilization percentages, and outreach and assistance programs to determine whether existing activities should be continued or revised and whether new programs should be implemented.
(5) By collaborating with the Office of Administration, Division of Purchasing, and the Division of Facilities Management Design and Construction, and executive branch agencies, OEO may work with agencies to assist in the achievement of the State’s Annual Aspirational Program. OEO may also recommend to agencies solicitations in which M/WBE requirements may be appropriate; recommend that qualified M/WBEs be included on solicitation lists; and, when feasible, recommend structuring contracts to maximize potential M/WBE and small business participation.
(6) The total dollar value of a purchase procured from an M/WBE may be counted toward meeting established M/WBE goals in procurements under twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) financed in whole or in part with state funds.
(7) After the contract is established, OEO shall monitor the activity of the contractor to assure compliance with the M/WBE utilization stipulated in the contract and in accordance with applicable statutes and regulations.
(8) Contractors that fail to comply with their M/WBE contractual requirements may be considered in breach of contract and may be subject to the remedies in the contract and as otherwise allowable by law.
(9) OEO shall maintain statistics and issue periodic reports about M/WBE participation and recommendations for improvement.

PURPOSE: This rule sets out the procedures for disposing of a case without a decision by the commission, including a motion to dismiss, settlement agreement, agreed settlement, and consent order.
(1) Voluntary Dismissal. Petitioner may voluntarily dismiss the complaint by filing a notice of dismissal stating that petitioner dismisses the complaint. A notice of dismissal dismisses the complaint and is effective as of the date on which petitioner files it, without any action by the commission. Petitioner may dismiss the complaint, subject to statutory time limits for refiling— (A) Before the filing of a motion for decision without hearing under 1 CSR 15-3.446 or the introduction of evidence at the hearing, whichever is earlier, without the commission’s leave; or (B) After the filing of a motion for decision without hearing under 1 CSR 15-3.446 or the introduction of evidence at the hearing, whichever is earlier, only with leave of the commission or with written consent of respondent. The commission shall grant leave freely when justice so requires.
(2) Settlement. Settlement means the parties’ agreed resolution of any issue in the complaint including a contested case under section 621.045, RSMo. The parties may settle all or any part of the complaint without any action by the commission, where such settlement is permitted by law. If the parties’ settlement disposes of the entire complaint— (A) Petitioner may file a notice of dismissal under section (1) of this rule; or (B) The parties may jointly file a motion for consent order under section (3) of this
rule; or (C) Respondent may file a motion for involuntary dismissal under rule 1 CSR 15- 3.436.
(3) Consent Orders.
(A) Generally. A consent order is the commission’s dismissal, or recommended dismissal, and memorialization that all parties have agreed to dispose of the case without the commission’s decision or recommended decision, except in cases under section 324.038, RSMo, or contested cases under section 621.045, RSMo.
(B) Cases under section 324.038, RSMo, and contested cases under section 621.045, RSMo. A consent order in a case under section 324.038, RSMo, or a contested case under section 621.045, RSMo, requires a decision by the commission. A motion for consent order in such a case is subject to rule 1 CSR 15-3.446.

1 CSR 15-3.436 Involuntary Dismissal {#sec-1-csr-15-3.436 omnilex-key=us-mo-regs-official--title-1--1 CSR 15-3.436}
PURPOSE: This rule provides for motions to dismiss by someone other than petitioner.
(1) Involuntary dismissal means a disposition, or recommended disposition, against petitioner that does not reach the merits of the complaint. The commission may order involuntary dismissal on its own motion.
Grounds for involuntary dismissal include:
(A) Lack of jurisdiction;
(B) Mootness; and (C) Grounds for a sanction as set forth in
rule 1 CSR 15-3.425.
(2) Respondent may file a motion for involuntary dismissal on all or any part of the complaint except that, unless the commission grants leave otherwise, respondent shall not file a motion for involuntary dismissal— (A) In any case in which any legal authority, other than the commission, sets any maximum time for conducting a hearing on the merits of the complaint; and (B) In any case less than forty-five (45) days before the hearing, except by leave of the commission for good cause.
(3) The commission may grant a motion for involuntary dismissal based on a preponderance of admissible evidence. Admissible evidence includes an allegation in the complaint, stipulation, discovery response of the petitioner, affidavit, or other evidence admissible under the law. In response to a motion for involuntary dismissal, petitioner shall not rely solely on the allegations in the complaint unless the motion relies solely on the allegations in the complaint.
(4) If a motion for involuntary dismissal relies on matters other than allegations in the complaint and stipulations, the commission shall either— (A) Treat the motion for involuntary dismissal as a motion for summary decision 10CODE OF STATE REGULATIONS under rule 1 CSR 15-3.446; or (B) Convene an evidentiary hearing on the motion.
(5) On any motion under this rule, the commission may allow such written argument as it deems helpful and may rule on the motion without oral argument.

PURPOSE: This rule provides for disposition by stipulation, consent order, and relief in the nature of judgment on the pleadings and relief in the nature of summary and other procedures.
(1) Generally. Decision without hearing means a disposition, or recommended disposition, of the complaint on the merits. It includes a decision on the pleadings, summary decision, and consent order in cases under
section 621.045, RSMo. The commission may grant a motion for decision without hearing in favor of any party, including a party who did not file the motion. On any motion under this rule, the commission may allow such written argument as it deems helpful and may rule on the motion without oral argument.
(2) Any party may file a motion for a decision without hearing on all or any part of the complaint except that, unless the commission grants leave otherwise, no party shall file a motion for decision without hearing— (A) In any case in which any legal authority, other than the commission, sets any maximum time for conducting a hearing on the merits of the complaint; or (B) In any case, less than forty-five (45) days before the hearing, except by leave of the commission for good cause.
(3) Decision on Stipulated Facts. The parties may file a stipulation of facts and may waive hearing before the commission. The parties or their attorneys shall sign the stipulation.
(4) Decision on the Pleadings. A decision on the pleadings is a decision without hearing based solely on the complaint and the answer.
The commission may grant a motion for decision on the pleadings if a party’s pleading, taken as true, entitles another party to a favorable decision. Petitioner shall not file a motion for decision on the pleadings before the time for filing a responsive pleading has expired, except with the consent of all other parties.
(5) Consent Orders in Cases Under Section 324.038, RSMo, and Contested Cases Under
Section 621.045, RSMo. A motion for a consent order shall contain stipulated facts necessary to support the relief sought under the cited legal authority. Parties seeking a consent order under this section shall jointly file a motion that includes substantially the following language:
The parties stipulate that (party ) committed the following conduct:
(Conduct ).
(Party ) admits that such conduct is cause for (the relief sought ) under the following legal authority:
(Legal Authority ).
Therefore, the parties agree to (the relief sought).
(6) Summary Decision. Summary decision is a motion for decision without hearing that relies on matters outside the pleadings and is not filed jointly by all parties.
(A) The commission may grant a motion for summary decision if a party establishes facts that entitle any party to a favorable decision and no party genuinely disputes such facts.
(B) Parties may establish a fact, or raise a dispute as to such facts, by admissible evidence. Admissible evidence includes a stipulation, pleading of the adverse party, discovery response of the adverse party, affidavit, or other evidence admissible under the law. A party shall not rely solely on its own pleading to establish any fact, or to raise a genuine issue as to any fact. A party may meet the requirements for the content of a motion, or for a response to a motion, under section (6) of this rule by complying with Missouri Supreme Court Rule of Civil Procedure 74.04.
(C) Petitioner shall not file a motion for summary decision before the time for filing a responsive pleading has expired, except with the consent of all other parties.
(D) With regard to motions for summary decision, the commission prefers that— 1. A motion for summary decision summarily state the legal basis for the motion and have a statement of uncontroverted material facts attached to the motion. The statement should state with particularity in separately numbered paragraphs each material fact as to which the party filing the motion claims there is no genuine issue, with specific reference to the pleadings, discovery, exhibits, or affidavits that demonstrate the lack of a genuine issue as to such facts. Attached to the statement should be a copy of all discovery, exhibits, or affidavits on which the motion relies. The party filing the motion should also file a separate legal memorandum explaining why summary decision should be granted; and 2. The adverse party may file a response to the motion for summary decision within the time ordered by the commission and shall serve the response on all parties. To the extent possible, the response should admit or deny each enumerated statement of fact set forth in the motion, and each denial should be supported with specific references to the discovery, exhibits, or affidavits that demonstrate specific facts showing that there is a genuine issue of fact. The response may also set forth additional material facts that remain in dispute, with supporting documentation.

Chapter 2 Classification and Pay Plans
1 CSR 20-2.010 The Classification Plan {#sec-1-csr-20-2.010 omnilex-key=us-mo-regs-official--title-1--1 CSR 20-2.010}
PURPOSE: The Personnel Division and the Personnel Advisory Board have the authority and responsibility for preparation, adoption, maintenance and revision of a classification plan for all positions in the classified and covered services. This rule provides the framework within which this authority is exercised.
(1) The classification plan shall be maintained as follows:
(A) Revisions of Plan. The classification plan shall be so developed and maintained that all positions substantially similar with respect to the kind, difficulty, and responsibility of work are included in the same class and that the same schedule of pay may be applied with equity to all positions in a class (see section 36.110, RSMo);
(B) Reallocation of Positions Within the Established Plan. The director may investigate the duties of any position in the classified and covered service subject to the law to determine the correctness of allocation and to provide for maintenance of the classification plan. Before making any permanent and substantial change in the duties, authority, or responsibilities of a position subject to the law, an appointing authority shall notify the director in writing of his/her intention to do so, together with a statement of the duties, authorities, and responsibilities to be assigned. If the duties of his/her position are changed, or if at any time an employee does not believe that the duties of the position are appropriate to his/her classification, s/he may make a request in writing to the director for a review of the duties of his/her position, setting forth reasons for the review. If those reasons appear to be substantial, the director shall make an investigation of the position with a view to determining the correctness or incorrectness of the allocation (see section 36.120, RSMo). If a position is found to be incorrectly allocated, the director, at any time, may reallocate the position to its appropriate class in the classification plan. When the allocation of a position is changed, the director shall notify the appointing authority.
The appropriate personnel action shall be taken by the appointing authority upon receipt of the notice of reallocation. If the position is filled at the time of reallocation, the appointing authority immediately shall notify the incumbent regarding the allocation change. If the incumbent does not agree with the new allocation, s/he may submit to the director in writing a request for a review of the allocation of the position specifying the reasons why the incumbent believes the allocation is incorrect. An employee who is occupying a position which is reallocated to a different class shall continue in this position only if s/he meets the minimum qualifications for the class to which his/her position was reallocated.
(2) Class specifications and class titles shall be provided and used in the classification plan as follows:
(A) Content of Specifications. The director shall provide and may amend as provided in subsection (1)(A) written specifications for each class in the classification plan. Each of the class specifications shall include a class title, a description of the duties, authority, and responsibilities of the work, the knowledge, skills, and abilities, and a statement of the qualifications that are necessary or desirable for the satisfactory performance of the duties of the class;
(B) Interpretation of Class Specifications.
The statement in the class specifications are descriptive and not restrictive. They are intended to indicate the kinds of positions that are allocated to the established classes as determined by their duties and responsibilities and are not to be construed as declaring what the duties or responsibilities of any position may be or as limiting or modifying the power of an appointing authority to assign, direct, and control the work of employees under his/her supervision. The use of a particular expression or illustration as to the duties shall not be held to exclude others not mentioned that are of a similar kind or quality nor shall any specific omission necessarily mean that a factor is not included; and (C) Use in Allocation. In determining the class to which any position should be allocated, the director shall consider the specification describing each class as a whole. Consideration shall be given to the general duties, specific tasks, responsibilities, the necessary or desirable knowledge, skills and abilities, the qualifications required, and relationships to other classes.

1 CSR 20-2.015 Broad Classification Bands {#sec-1-csr-20-2.015 omnilex-key=us-mo-regs-official--title-1--1 CSR 20-2.015}
PURPOSE: The board is establishing this
rule to provide for the broadbanding of positions within agencies covered by the uniform classification and pay provisions of the State Personnel Law. This rule provides for the formation and administration of a system of broadbanding applicable to positions within affected state agencies. The Division of Personnel and the Personnel Advisory Board may exercise authority and responsibility for preparation, adoption, maintenance, and revision of that part of the classification and pay plan which includes provisions for grouping of positions with similar levels of responsibility or expertise into broad classification bands in the classified and covered services.
This rule provides the framework within which this authority may be exercised.
(1) Standards and Methods. After consultation with appointing authorities or their designated representatives, the director shall establish and maintain the standards and methods for identifying positions subject to the law for broad classification bands and pay band designations.
(2) Classification Plan. The provisions of 1 CSR 20-2.010 are applicable in the preparation and maintenance of broad classification bands, except as specifically outlined in this
section or necessary for implementation. The class specifications for broadbanded classifications shall be designed to encompass a broad spectrum of positions in generic and agency-specific classes, or may provide for broader applications when the director determines that agency and system needs can be met in a consistent, equitable, and appropriate manner.
(A) Preparation of the Plan. The director shall ascertain the duties, authority, and responsibilities of positions subject to the law.
The broad classification bands shall group positions in very broad classes which generally describe the duties, authority, and responsibilities of positions and cover various pay band levels. The broadbanded class specifications are not specific to individual positions or programs. Two (2) kinds of broadbanded classes, common-use and agency-specific may be used. Common-use classes will accommodate functions which cross agency lines. Agency-specific classes will encompass functions distinct to an individual agency. Each broadbanded class specification will have a class title; statement of the duties, authority, and responsibilities; examples of duties performed; knowledge, skills, and abilities; and the necessary qualifications, provided that equivalent substitutions will be allowed for deficiencies in education or experience. Upon adoption by the Personnel Advisory Board, the broadbanded classes shall become part of the uniform classification and pay plan.
(B) Allocation of a Position. Before establishing a new broadbanded position subject to the law, an appointing authority shall provide the director with a written statement of the duties, authority, and responsibilities to be assigned. The director will determine an appropriate class and pay band assignment based on the duties, authority, and responsibilities of the position.
(3) Compensation Structure. The director will recommend to the board establishment and adoption of pay bands as considered necessary and equitable in order to group and maintain positions with similar levels of responsibility or expertise. The provisions of
1 CSR 20-2.020 are applicable in the preparation, adoption, maintenance, and administration of the pay plan for broad classification bands, except as specifically outlined in this {#sec-1-csr-20-2.020 omnilex-key=us-mo-regs-official--title-1--1 CSR 20-2.020}
section or necessary for implementation.
(A) Administration. The implementation and ongoing administration of pay within the broad classification bands shall be conducted in a manner which promotes equitable pay relationships and the efficient and effective practice of personnel administration. When the meaning and purpose of a rule is not otherwise affected, the term band may replace range. The pay plan for the broadbanded system shall be administered in accordance with
1 CSR 20-2.020 and the following provisions: {#sec-1-csr-20-2.020 omnilex-key=us-mo-regs-official--title-1--1 CSR 20-2.020}
-
Appointment rate. The initial appointment rate to a position in a broad classification band is at the discretion of the appointing authority. In making these determinations, consideration should be given to the individual’s qualifications, permanent position-related factors, such as working conditions or physical location of work, and/or recruitment or staffing needs;
-
Salary advancements. Salary advancements within the band occupied by an employee are of three (3) types: probationary salary advancements, specific salary advancements authorized during a fiscal year, and discretionary salary advancements, administered in accordance with the following provisions:
A. A probationary salary advancement is permitted for an employee covered under section 36.030.1(2), RSMo, upon successful completion of the probationary period. An appointing authority may grant a salary advancement following successful completion of a probationary period in a band or after an appropriate period of time following upward reclassification;
B. Within-grade, market progression, or other specific salary advancements within the pay bands, which are only authorized during a fiscal year when specific funding has been appropriated, will be implemented in accordance with guidelines and instructions issued by the board;
C. Discretionary salary advancements may be granted by an appointing authority as warranted by the needs of the service; and D. In the broadbanded service, a conditional salary advancement is a discretionary within-band advancement associated with the assignment of higher level duties or responsibilities of a permanent nature. At the discretion of the appointing authority, and without appeal to the Administrative Hearing Commission, such higher level duties and responsibilities and the associated conditional salary advancement may be withdrawn as specified by the appointing authority. When a conditional salary advancement is established, the appointing authority will provide the affected employee with written notice describing the conditions under which the advancement is given and the conditions under which it can be withdrawn.
(B) Within-Band Salary Decreases. Salary reductions within the band may be made for any amount by the appointing authority. Reasons for such decreases include: changes in duties or organization which do not adversely reflect on the employee; within-band movement to a position of lesser value; a permanent and substantial decline in the scope or complexity of assignment; or an involuntary within-band transfer for cause such as inadequate performance or misconduct as provided for in 1 CSR 20-3.070(2). An involuntary salary decrease within the band, when applied to the salary of a classified employee covered under section 36.030.1(2), RSMo, other than one (1) associated with a conditional salary advancement, shall be treated as a demotion and may be appealed by the affected employee in accordance with statute and these rules.
(C) Pay Rates in Transfer, Promotion, Reclassification, or Demotion. If an employee is transferred, promoted, reclassified, or demoted, the rate of pay, giving consideration to equity, shall be as follows:
-
An employee’s rate of pay must fall within the minimum and maximum of their assigned pay band, except as provided for in paragraph (3)(C)3. of this rule;
-
An employee’s rate of pay within the appropriate band will depend on the type of personnel transaction. Consistent application of formulas or guidelines by appointing authorities in cases of promotions, reclassifications, and demotions will promote equitable treatment of employees affected by these actions.
A. In the case of within-band transfer, which involves a change of an employee from one (1) position to another position in the same class or another class assigned to the same established pay band and which may involve a change of assignment or work location, the salary rate shall be determined by the appointing authority.
B. In the case of promotion or upward reclassification, which involves a change of an employee from a position in one (1) band to a position in a higher band, the salary rate may be increased, or, at the discretion of the appointing authority, may stay the same.
C. In the case of voluntary demotion, demotion for cause, or downward reclassification, which involves movement from one (1) band to a lower band, the salary rate will be at the discretion of the appointing authority.
D. In the case of an out-of-band transfer, which involves movement from a pay band to a pay range, the employee may accept a voluntary reduction in salary. For employees covered under section 36.030.1(2), RSMo, an involuntary salary reduction is considered a demotion and may be appealed by the affected employee in accordance with statute and these rules; and 3. If an employee’s previous rate of pay is more than the maximum rate established for the pay band to which the position is assigned, the employee’s rate of pay may be approved in accordance with the following provisions:
A. When a department, division, work unit, class of employees, or other entity of state government is initially made subject to the classification provisions of the State Personnel Law, the Personnel Advisory Board may approve salary rates above the established maximum rates for the affected employees. In each case where an above-themaximum rate has been authorized by the 4CODE OF STATE REGULATIONS (1/29/19) JOHNR. ASHCROFT Personnel Advisory Board, the rate of pay will be clearly recorded as an above-the-maximum rate, and the affected employee will not be eligible for any additional type or amount of salary adjustment or advancement until the rate of pay falls within the pay band to which the position is assigned;
B. When a position is reallocated to a lower pay band or to a pay range, the appointing authority, with approval of the personnel director, may elect to establish an above-themaximum rate. If the appointing authority elects to establish an above-the-maximum rate, the rate of pay will be clearly recorded as an above-the-maximum rate, and the affected employee will not be eligible for any additional type or amount of salary adjustment or advancement until that time as his/her rate of pay shall fall within the pay band or pay range to which the position is assigned; and C. An above-the-maximum rate established under subparagraphs (3)(C)3.A. and B. will continue while the employee remains in the same or higher pay band in the same department and is above-the-maximum rate for the assigned band. The payment of a differential authorized by the Personnel Advisory Board will be allowed where applicable, and the salary of an affected employee who enters or exits a position covered by this differential will be adjusted in a manner consistent with agency policy and practice. When an employee receiving an above-the-maximum rate of pay transfers to a position in the same class and pay band in another department covered by the classification and pay provisions of the State Personnel Law, the appointing authority of the receiving agency shall have the discretion to continue the authorized above-the-maximum rate, to establish a different, but lower rate of pay which exceeds the established maximum of the appropriate pay band, or to reduce it to a rate within the pay band for the position.
Once the pay band can accommodate the rate of pay, the above-the-maximum rate will be void and the employee’s compensation will be subject to the provisions contained elsewhere in the rules.
(4) Separation, Suspension, and Demotion.
The provisions of 1 CSR 20-3.070 are applicable in the administration of broad classification bands for positions covered by section 36.030.1(2), RSMo, except as specifically outlined in this section, or necessary for implementation.
(A) Demotions. An appointing authority may not demote an employee for cause unless the employee to be demoted meets the minimum qualifications for the lower position demoted to, and no regular employee in the affected class and band or range would be laid off by reason of the action.

PURPOSE: The Personnel Division and the Personnel Advisory Board have the authority and responsibility for preparation, adoption and administration of a pay plan for agencies covered by the classification and pay provisions of the State Personnel Law. This rule provides the framework within which this
(1) Effect of Amendments, Revisions, and Additions. When amendments or revisions to the pay plan are effective, rates of pay of employees are adjusted in the amended scale comparable to the prior scale. A lesser adjustment may be specifically requested and justified by an appointing authority and approved by the director. This approval is conditioned upon uniformity of treatment for all employees of a division of service. When a new or revised class of positions is established in the classification plan, the director recommends for approval of the board an appropriate pay range within the pay plan.
(2) Administration. The implementation and ongoing administration of the pay plan will be conducted in a manner which promotes efficient and effective practice of personnel administration. The pay plan will be administered in accordance with the following provisions:
(A) Salary Advancements. Salary advancements within the pay range for the class occupied by an employee are of three (3) types: probationary salary advancements, specific salary advancements authorized during a fiscal year, and discretionary salary advancements, administered in accordance with the following provisions:
- A probationary salary advancement of up to four percent (4%) is permitted for an employee upon successful completion of the original probationary period. As used in this paragraph, successful completion means the granting of regular employee status to a probationary employee, rather than the evaluation attained in the performance appraisal.
An appointing authority may grant a probationary salary advancement of up to four percent (4%) following successful completion of a promotional probationary period or completion of six (6) months of service following upward reclassification;
-
Within-grade, market progression, or other specific salary advancements which are only authorized during a fiscal year when specific funding has been appropriated for all agencies. When such funding is approved and appropriated by the legislature, the Personnel Advisory Board will issue guidelines and instructions for implementation of these provisions. Within-grade, market progression, or other specific salary advancements may be for varying amounts or percentages within the range for the class, and may be based on length of total state service, performance appraisal, time in class, relative market position within the range, or any combination of these or other factors;
-
Discretionary salary advancements may be granted by an appointing authority as warranted by the needs of the service; and 4. The probationary salary advancement and the specific salary advancement authorized during a fiscal year as described in paragraphs (2)(A)1. and 2. will be given to eligible employees to the extent that funds are available for implementation of these provisions. No employee can be denied a probationary salary advancement or specific salary advancement authorized during a fiscal year as described in paragraphs (2)(A)1. and 2. in order to provide a salary advancement to another employee authorized under paragraph (2)(A)3.;
(B) The provisions of this rule pertaining to salary advancements do not apply to salary adjustments made in accordance with section (1) when revisions occur in the pay plan;
(C) Pay Rates in Transfer, Promotion, Reclassification, or Demotion. If an employee is transferred, promoted, reclassified, or demoted, the employee’s rate of pay is determined as follows:
-
If the rate of pay in the previous class is less than the minimum rate established for the new class, the rate of pay is advanced to at least the minimum for the new class;
-
If the rate of pay in the previous class is more than the maximum rate for the new class, the pay is reduced to the maximum rate for the new class or lower for purposes of equity, except as provided for in paragraph (2)(C)4. of this rule;
-
If the rate of pay in the previous class falls within the range of pay for the new class, the salary rate will depend on the type of personnel transaction. In the case of transfer or lateral reclassification, the salary rate remains the same unless otherwise provided by the appointing authority due to equity considerations. In the case of promotion or upward reclassification, the salary rate may be increased. In the case of downward reclassification, voluntary demotion, or demotion for cause, the salary rate may be reduced as justified by the difference in salary levels between the class to which demoted and the class previously held, or for purposes of equity. At the discretion of the appointing
A. Where a department, division, work unit, class of employees, or other entity of state government is initially made subject to the classification provisions of the State Personnel Law, the Personnel Advisory Board may approve salary rates above the established maximum rates for the affected employees in job classes to which the newlyallocated positions are assigned. Similarly, if a series of classes or a single class of positions within the classification plan is restructured, altered, or abolished, the Personnel Advisory Board may approve above-the-maximum rates for affected employees, upon recommendation of the appointing authority. In each case where an above-the-maximum rate has been authorized by the Personnel Advisory Board, the rate of pay will be clearly recorded as an over-the-range rate, and the affected employee will not be eligible for any additional type or amount of salary adjustment or advancement until the rate of pay falls within the range of pay for the class to which the position is allocated;
B. Where a position is reallocated to a lower class by action of an appointing authority under delegated allocation authority or by the Division of Personnel, the appointing
(3) Reports. The director will prescribe the necessary mechanism(s) for reports of all personnel changes in the service. These will provide the instructions for submitting the supporting or otherwise pertinent information as the director may deem to be needed. The instructions to appointing authorities will explain which of the changes call for prior approval of the director before they may become effective, which of them require reports when made, and which of them need to be reported sufficiently in advance of the end of the payroll period to permit them to be given effect in the checking and approval of the next payroll.

6CODE OF STATE REGULATIONS
(1/29/19) JOHNR. ASHCROFT
History
- authority is exercised.
- authority, the salary rate in the case of voluntary demotion or downward reclassification may remain unchanged; and 4. If the rate of pay in the previous class is more than the maximum rate established for the new class, a salary rate above the maximum rate for the new class may be approved in accordance with the following provisions:
- authority, with approval of the personnel director, may elect to continue the incumbent employee’s rate of compensation at the abovethe-maximum rate, establish a lower rate of pay which exceeds the established maximum for the class, or reduce the salary to an equitable rate within the authorized range of pay for the lower class as provided for in paragraph (2)(C)2. If the appointing authority elects to establish an above-the-maximum rate, the rate of pay will be clearly recorded as an over-the-range rate, and the affected employee will not be eligible for any additional type or amount of salary adjustment or advancement until that time as his/her rate of pay falls within the range of pay for the class to which the position is allocated; and C. An over-the-range rate established under subparagraphs (2)(C)4.A. and B. will continue while the employee remains in the same, comparable, or higher classification in the same department. The payment of a differential authorized by the Personnel Advisory Board will be allowed where applicable, and the salary of an affected employee who enters or exits a position covered by this differential will be adjusted in a manner consistent with agency policy and practice. Where an employee receiving an over-the-range rate of pay maintains continuous state employment but accepts a position in the same, comparable, or higher classification in another department covered by the classification and pay provisions of the State Personnel Law the appointing authority of the receiving agency has the discretion to continue the authorized over-the-range rate, to establish a lower rate of pay which exceeds the established maximum for the class, or to reduce it to an equitable rate within the authorized range of pay for the class. Once the range of pay for the class occupied by the employee can accommodate the rate of pay, the over-the-range rate will be void and the employee’s compensation will be subject to the provisions contained elsewhere in the rules; and (D) Total Remuneration. The salary rate established in the pay plan is intended as remuneration for the performance of full-time work in accordance with 1 CSR 20- 5.010(1)(A). Employees may receive additional payments as follows: overtime payments in accordance with 1 CSR 20-5.010(1); pay differentials and performance incentive payments as authorized by the Personnel Advisory Board; suggestion award payments authorized by section 36.030, RSMo, of the State Personnel Law; reimbursement for official travel as permitted by 1 CSR 10-11.010; and nonmonetary income or fringe benefits, which represent provisions made to an employee primarily for the benefit of the state. Subsistence deductions from the pay of an employee for articles provided at a state-owned facility primarily for the benefit of the employee are not considered to be a reduction in total remuneration of the employee.

PURPOSE: This rule prescribes procedures and practices which govern the administration of merit system examinations.
(1)
Verification of Qualifications. In any competitive examination, the director, appointing authorities, or both, may verify statements contained in the application of an applicant either before or after employment. If a verification of the qualifications of an applicant should reveal any material misrepresentation of employment qualifications and related information as described in the application for examination or attachments, this shall be cause for removal from the register(s) involved, from current and future employment, or both, as provided elsewhere in these rules.
(2) Veterans’ Preference. In any competitive examination for the purpose of establishing a register of eligibles, veterans, disabled veterans, surviving spouses, and spouses of disabled veterans shall be given preference in appointment and examination as provided by law.
(A) Proof of Eligibility. Proof of eligibility for veterans’ preference shall be provided by applicants in the form of their discharge papers, a copy of their discharge papers, or other satisfactory evidence of honorable service. Applicants also shall submit on a form, as may be required by the director, proof of disability certified by the appropriate federal agency responsible for the administration of veterans’ affairs. Any papers submitted to establish proof of service of disability, upon request, shall be returned to veterans.
(3) Parental Preference. In any competitive examination for the purpose of establishing a register of eligibles, a parental preference shall be given to persons who were previously employed by the state but terminated such employment to care for young children. This preference shall be given only for persons who were full-time homemakers and caretakers of children under the age of ten (10) and were not otherwise gainfully employed for a period of at least two (2) years.
(A) Proof of Eligibility. Proof of eligibility for parental preference shall be provided by applicants on a preference claim form and, upon request, other evidence such as birth certificates, income tax returns, or other documents may be required by the director.
(4) Error in Examination. A manifest error in an examination which affects the appointment of persons shall be corrected if called to the attention of the director within thirty (30) days after the establishment of the register, but this correction shall not invalidate any appointments previously made from this register unless it is established that the error was made in bad faith and with intent to deprive the person of consideration.

1 CSR 20-3.040 Probationary Period {#sec-1-csr-20-3.040 omnilex-key=us-mo-regs-official--title-1--1 CSR 20-3.040}
PURPOSE: This rule establishes the conditions and procedures which govern the probationary period of employment required for individuals appointed or promoted to positions described under
section 36.030.1(2), RSMo.
(1) Objective and Scope. The probationary or working test period shall be utilized for closely observing the employee’s work, for securing the most effective adjustment of a new employee to his/her position and for rejecting any employee whose performance does not meet the required work standards.
This rule applies only to positions described under section 36.030.1(2), RSMo.
(2) Duration. The probationary period shall begin upon the appointment or promotion of the employee. Any interruption of service during the probationary period shall not be counted as a part of the total probationary service required. Probationary service will be subject to the following provisions:
(A) The normal length of probation for employees in all medical and dental classes of positions and in classes identified by the director as having substantial supervisory or administrative responsibilities shall be twelve (12) months.
The maximum length of probation shall be eighteen (18) months and the minimum length of probation shall be six (6) months for employees in those positions serving original or promotional probationary periods;
(B) The normal and the minimum length of probation for all other classes of positions shall be six (6) months for employees in those positions serving an original or promotional probationary period. The maximum length of probation for those employees shall be twelve (12) months;
(C) If an appointing authority finds that it will require more time than the normal probationary period to evaluate an employee’s ability to successfully perform the various duties of a position, the appointing authority may extend the probationary period not to exceed the maximum period allowed under these rules. Prior to the expiration of a normal probationary period, the appointing authority shall notify the employee in writing of the reasons for, and duration of, the extension. A copy of the notice shall be filed with the director;
(D) If an appointing authority finds that a probationary employee is performing the duties of a position in an effective and fully satisfactory manner, the appointing authority may reduce the length of probation to no less than the minimum probationary period prescribed under these rules for the class and type of appointment involved. The appointing authority shall notify the employee and the director in writing of the reduction and the reasons; and (E) The normal probationary period for the class involved shall be served by all employees unless the appointing authority takes specific action under these rules to extend or reduce the length of probation for a specific probationary employee or for employees in a particular job class.

PURPOSE: This rule establishes conditions and procedures to govern various types of separations from the classified service and personnel transactions, such as suspension and demotion.
(1) Layoffs in the classified service shall be administered by each respective appointing authority based on the needs of the service. This section does not prevent an employing agency from bargaining over a layoff procedure based on seniority, so long as no terms affect the employing agency’s right to terminate at will non-regular employees.
(2) Causes for Suspension, Demotion, and Dismissal. The following are declared to be causes for suspension, demotion, or dismissal of any regular employee in the classified service, depending upon the seriousness of the cause; however, those actions may be based upon causes other than those enumerated below:
(A) The employee has willfully violated any of the provisions of the State Merit System Law or of the rules of the Personnel Advisory Board;
(B) The employee is incompetent, inadequate, careless, or inefficient in the performance of the duties of his/her position (specific instances to be charged) or has failed to meet established minimum standards in the performance of those duties;
(C) The employee has been wantonly careless or negligent in the care of the property of the state;
(D) The employee has engaged in abusive or improper treatment toward an inmate or patient of any state institution or to a person in custody; provided the acts committed were not necessarily or lawfully committed in self-defense, to protect the lives of others, or to prevent the escape of anyone lawfully in custody;
(E) The employee is unable, with or without a reasonable accommodation, to perform the essential functions of his or her job;
(F) The employee has been habitually tardy in reporting for duty or has absented him/herself frequently from duty during the course of regular working hours; or has been completely absent from duty without prior or subsequent authorization for that absence;
(G) The employee has been convicted of, or pled guilty to, a felony or of a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude;
(H) The employee has engaged in scandalous and disgraceful conduct while on or off duty where this conduct tends to bring the state service into public disrepute or has exhibited behavior which adversely affects the employee’s job performance, the employing agency, or both;
(I) The employee has engaged in abusive or improper treatment of guests or clients while on duty at any state facility or on any state land normally open to the public;
(J) The employee has submitted a false statement of a material fact or has practiced or attempted to practice any fraud or deception in an application or examination or in otherwise attempting to secure employment subject to the provisions of these rules;
(K) The employee has engaged in insubordination or has failed to respond in a reasonable manner to his/her lawful orders or instructions of persons with duly delegated authority over the employee;
(L) The employee has willfully violated the lawful regulations or policies of the agency by which employed after having been made aware of the regulations and policies;
(M) The employee has been abusive or physically violent toward other employees while on duty or in the duty area or has willfully exhibited behavior which is disruptive of the working activities of other employees;
(N) The employee has been intoxicated or under the influence of a controlled substance while on duty, except as may have been required by a licensed medical physician; or (O) The employee has practiced or attempted to practice fraud or deception in securing or attempting to secure benefits or grants from a state agency either for him/herself or for another applicant.
(3) Suspension. An appointing authority, for disciplinary purposes, may suspend, without pay, any employee in his/her division. A suspension may be made for a length of time as s/he considers appropriate, not exceeding twenty (20) working days in any twelve- (12-) month period except that this limitation shall not apply in the event of a terminal suspension given in conjunction with a dismissal or discharge; a suspension given in connection with a criminal offense involving the use of a controlled substance; or, with the approval of the director, a suspension made pending the investigation or trial of any charges against the employee (see section 36.370, RSMo). Employees enumerated in 1 CSR 20-5.010(1)(C) and (D) and designated as exempt from the overtime requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act shall not be suspended from duty without pay for disciplinary purposes unless the said suspension is for one (1) or more full workdays.
(A) Any employee covered under section 36.030.1(2), RSMo being suspended shall be furnished with a statement in writing specifically setting forth the reasons for the suspension.
A copy of the statement shall be furnished to the director. No suspension of a regular employee for a period longer than five (5) workdays shall take effect unless, prior to the effective date, the appointing authority gives to the employee a written statement setting forth in substance the reason, informs the employee of appeal rights, provides the employee with a copy of the form for appeal to the administrative hearing commission, and provides the employee with an opportunity to respond to the reason prior to the effective date. Any regular employee who is suspended for more than five (5) workdays may appeal in writing to the administrative hearing commission within thirty (30) days after the effective date thereof setting forth in substance reasons for claiming the suspension was for political, religious, or racial reasons or not for the good of the service. For the purpose of the appeal process, the effective date of a suspension will be the first day the employee is suspended without pay. There is no appeal from a suspension of five (5) working days or less. Employees not covered under
section 36.030.1(2), RSMo do not have the right to notice or an opportunity to be heard on such suspension.
(B) Any employee covered under section 36.030.1(2), RSMo, being suspended for a period of five (5) workdays or less shall be given a statement in writing specifically setting forth the reasons for the suspension. A copy of that statement shall be furnished to the director. No suspension of a regular employee for a period of five (5) days or less shall take effect unless, prior to the effective date, the appointing authority gives to the employee a written statement setting forth in substance the reason and gives the employee an opportunity to respond to the reason. Employees not covered under section 36.030.1(2), RSMo, do not have the right to notice, opportunity to be heard, or appeal from a suspension. This section does not prevent an employing agency from bargaining over for-cause protections for suspensions, so long as no terms affect the employing agency’s right to terminate at will non-regular employees.
(C) An employee who has been convicted of, pleads guilty to, or pleads nolo contendere for the first time to any criminal offense involving the use of a controlled substance, and who fails to satisfactorily meet the requirements of education and treatment as defined in section 105.1105, RSMo, shall be suspended for a period of no more than three (3) months.
In the case of a suspension under this section of the law, the appointing authority must provide the director and the employee with a statement in writing specifically setting forth the case for suspension and the conditions the employee must meet in order to be returned from suspension.
(D) In the event that an employee’s conduct or performance is such that change is required as a condition of employment, an appointing authority may issue to the employee a statement describing the necessity for change, including what needs to be changed and in what time period. A permanent record of the conditional employment period may be established in the employee’s service history by notifying the personnel director in a manner prescribed by the director. This action must contain a time period that may not exceed three (3) months.
(E) In the event of an instance of unacceptable conduct by an employee that in the judgment of the appointing
(4) Demotions. An appointing authority may demote an employee in accordance with the following:
(A) No demotion for cause of a regular employee shall take effect unless, prior to the effective date, the appointing
(5) Dismissals or Discharges.
(A) No dismissal of a regular employee shall take effect unless, prior to the effective date, the appointing authority gives to the regular employee a written statement setting forth, in substance, the reason, informs the regular employee of appeal rights, provides the regular employee with a copy of the form for appeal to the Administrative Hearing Commission, and provides the regular employee with an opportunity to respond to the reason prior to the effective date.
(B) Employees not covered under section 36.030.1(2), RSMo, do not have the right to notice, opportunity to be heard, or appeal from a discharge and may be discharged for no reason or any reason not prohibited by law.
(6) Resignations from the classified service shall be governed by the following provisions:
(A) Method of Resignation. To resign in good standing, an employee must give the appointing authority at least fourteen (14) calendar days prior notice unless the appointing authority, because of extenuating circumstances, agrees to permit a shorter period of notice. A written resignation shall be supplied by the employee to the appointing authority;
(B) An employee who applies and is approved by the applicable state benefit system for long-term disability or retirement status shall be deemed to have voluntarily resigned.
(7) Absence Without Leave. The following provisions apply to regular employees who are absent from duty without appropriate authorization:
(A) A regular employee who absents him/herself from duty without prior authorization and under conditions which are not subsequently found to justify the granting of leave under these rules, depending upon the reason for and length of the absence, may be subject to appropriate discipline as provided in these rules;
(B) If a regular employee is dismissed for a continuing period of unauthorized absence, the circumstances of which indicate that the employee does not intend to return to duty, the notice of dismissal may allow the employee the option of submitting a resignation; and (C) If a regular employee requests a leave of absence without pay under these rules and the appointing authority does not find it practicable to grant leave under its normal policy in those cases, a continuing absence from duty without leave after the denial of this request will require the separation of the employee. If the employee, after being so notified, does not elect to submit a voluntary resignation, the appointing
(8) Furloughs of Employees in the Classified Service. An appointing authority, in accordance with these rules and procedures approved by the director and the board, may place an employee in a position subject to this law on a furlough without pay for a limited period of time whenever deemed necessary by reason of shortage of funds, or for other reasons which are outside the employee’s control and which do not reflect discredit on the service of the employee. When a furlough or furloughs become necessary, the appointing
Furloughs need not be for a continuous period for all employees involved. The furlough plan shall be submitted to the board for approval. Whenever, in the opinion of the director, there is an urgent necessity for the immediate approval of a furlough plan, the director may approve a plan until the board has an opportunity to act on the plan. Upon approval of the plan, employees to be furloughed will be given at least five (5) working days notice. Once the furlough ends, employees will be given up to forty-eight (48) hours to report.

History
- authority does not warrant immediate suspension, dismissal or discharge, or demotion, but which requires a permanent record, the appointing authority may record such conduct in the employee’s service history by notifying the personnel director in a manner prescribed by the director. Employees do not have the right to notice, opportunity to be heard, or appeal from an unacceptable conduct record.
- authority gives to the employee a written statement setting forth in substance the reason, informs the employee of appeal rights, provides the employee with a copy of the form for appeal to the administrative hearing commission, provides the employee with an opportunity to respond to the reason prior to the effective date, and files a copy of the statement of the reason with the director. Any regular employee who is involuntarily demoted for cause may appeal in writing to the administrative hearing commission within thirty (30) days after the effective date thereof setting forth in substance reasons for claiming that the demotion was for political, religious, or racial reasons or not for the good of the service. Employees not covered under section 36.030.1(2), RSMo, do not have the right to notice, opportunity to be heard, or appeal from a demotion and may be demoted for no reason or any reason not prohibited by law. This section does not prevent an employing agency from bargaining over for-cause protections for demotions, so long as no terms affect the employing agency’s right to terminate at will non-regular employees; and (B) No demotions for cause shall be made unless the employee to be demoted meets the minimum qualifications for the lower class and shall not be made if any regular employee in the lower class would be laid off by reason of the action.

1 CSR 20-4.020 Grievance Procedures {#sec-1-csr-20-4.020 omnilex-key=us-mo-regs-official--title-1--1 CSR 20-4.020}
PURPOSE: This rule requires the establishment of a grievance procedure, states its objectives, and defines management responsibility for its implementation.
(1) Prohibited Grievance Procedures.
(A) No state agency may establish a grievance procedure permitting a state employee, including a part-time employee, other than a regular employee, to grieve a dismissal or any other action that would limit the right to terminate employment at will.
(B) Subsequent to the effective date of this rule, no state agency may enter into an agreement with a certified bargaining unit providing for the same or any alternative dispute resolution procedure regarding the matters prohibited in subsection (1)(A).
(C) The foregoing prohibitions shall not apply to grievance procedures that allow for the presentation of allegations that a dismissal or any other employment action was taken for a reason prohibited by law.
(D) A “grievance procedure” as used in this section means a right to a process or practice whereby an employee could have a decision addressing any of the foregoing matters reviewed either within or outside the employee’s agency.
(E) The prohibition on the creation of a grievance procedure contained in this section does not prohibit a state agency from adopting policies allowing for the reporting of instances of unlawful discrimination or other illegal acts, as well as policies permitting the agency the discretion to review and address other employee concerns regarding other employees, facilities, or other aspects of their work environment. Such policies are specifically excluded from the grievance procedures prohibited by this rule.
(F) The grievance procedure found in sections (2)–(4) of this
rule shall not apply to state employees, including part-time employees, other than regular employees. This section does not prevent an employing agency from bargaining over a grievance procedure addressing employment actions other than dismissal, so long as no terms affect the employing agency’s right to terminate at will non-regular employees.
(2) Grievance Procedure Established. The settlement of differences within the classified service between management and employees shall be provided through the establishment of an orderly grievance procedure for each position covered under section 36.030.1(2), RSMo.
(A) The established grievance procedure in any division of service shall apply to employment conditions and related matters over which the appointing authority has complete or partial jurisdiction and for which redress is not provided by the personnel law, rules, or procedures.
(B) Notwithstanding subsection (A) of this section, an agency may enter into an agreement with a certified bargaining representative that allows for an alternative dispute resolution procedure that a represented employee may elect in lieu of the agency’s established grievance procedures or the employee’s right to appeal to the Administrative Hearing Commission as provided by the personnel law, rules, or procedures.
(C) Unless an agency has entered into an agreement with a certified bargaining representative that provides otherwise, the grievance procedure shall not apply in instances where the grievance involves personnel transactions or administrative decisions of the appointing authority for which the personnel law or rules provide a specific appeal to the Administrative Hearing Commission. Because the director of the Division of Personnel is not subject to an established grievance procedure, neither a grievance procedure nor alternative dispute resolution procedure may include provisions for grieving decisions made by the director under authority granted by the personnel law or regulations.
(D) The responsibility and authority of appointing authorities to create, promulgate, and enforce operational policies for the efficient and effective operation of the divisions of service is not altered by the ability of employees to use the grievance process to question the application of these policies or to seek clarifications or modifications of them.
(3) Objectives of Grievance Settlements. To every extent possible, the grievance procedure shall be designed to— (A) Resolve the grievance quickly;
(B) Settle the disagreement informally at the employeesupervisor level, when possible;
(C) Correct, if possible, the cause of the grievance to prevent future similar complaints; and (D) Promote fair and equitable treatment of employees and to promote harmonious relations generally among employees, supervisors, and administrative staff.
(4) Management Responsibility.
(A) Unless an agency has entered into an agreement with a certified bargaining representative that provides for an alternative method of resolving grievances which includes subjects for which redress is provided by the personnel law, rules, or procedures, the grievance procedures of each division of service shall distinguish between issues subject to review through personnel law, rules, or procedures and other matters subject to the grievance procedure. If there are separate procedures for filing internal complaints of discrimination, sexual harassment, retaliation for grievances, or other matters, (8/31/23) John R. Ashcroft BOARD AND DIVISION OF PERSONNEL 1 CSR 20-4—OFFICE OF ADMINISTRATION these shall also be identified.
(B) The grievance procedure shall include the following minimum provisions:
-
Except where the agency has a separate procedure as stated in subsection (3)(A), or unless the agency has entered into an agreement with a certified bargaining unit representative that provides otherwise, the procedure shall begin with the immediate supervisor and, if not resolved to the satisfaction of the grievant at the beginning or succeeding steps, shall end with the appointing authority;
-
The procedure shall require that the grievance and responses be in written form beginning at the first step, unless agreed to by both parties. A copy of all written responses will be delivered to the grievant. A copy of all written grievances and responses will be filed with the appointing authority or his/her designated representative;
-
The procedure shall include specific time frames for filing and responding to grievances at each step. The procedure may include a method of extending time frames initiated by the grievant or management, or both;
-
The procedure shall include a provision prohibiting retaliation or harassment for filing a grievance and for investigating charges of alleged retaliation or harassment.
Each agency must give employees alleging retaliation for grievances an opportunity to address this allegation to a higher level than the alleged incident;
-
The procedure shall permit group as well as individual grievances;
-
The procedure shall allow the grievant reasonable time off from duty for attendance at formal grievance hearings; and 7. The procedure shall include a method for informing all employees of the existence of the grievance procedure and for providing a copy of the grievance procedure and appropriate forms to employees desiring to file a grievance.

Chapter 5 Working Hours, Holidays and Leaves of Absence
1 CSR 20-5.010 Hours of Work and Holidays {#sec-1-csr-20-5.010 omnilex-key=us-mo-regs-official--title-1--1 CSR 20-5.010}
PURPOSE: This rule establishes hours of work and holidays for employees covered by the provisions of section 36.350, RSMo of the State Personnel Law.
(1) Hours of work and attendance are gov- (A) The appointing authority in each agency establishes the working days and the hours of attendance for employees of that agency and other rules in regard to attendance as are deemed necessary. A full-time employee normally will be scheduled to work forty (40) hours within a fixed and regularly recurring seven- (7-) day period established for the employee’s position.
-
In the case of law enforcement personnel employed by a recognized law enforcement agency, the director may approve the establishment of normal working hours in excess of those specified in subsection (1)(A), provided the work period, schedules, and overtime standards are consistent with applicable statutes or rules. For the purpose of this rule, law enforcement personnel includes uniformed or plainclothed members of a body of officers who have the power of arrest and who are statutorily empowered to enforce laws designed to maintain public peace and order, to protect life and property from accidental or willful injury, to prevent and detect crimes, and who undergo on-thejob training, a course of instruction, or both.
-
In the case of personnel employed at a hospital or residential care facility, the director may approve the establishment of normal working hours in excess of those specified in subsection (1)(A), provided the work period, schedules, and overtime standards are consistent with applicable statutes or rules;
(B) The appointing authority in each agency may require employees to perform reasonable amounts of overtime work as may be needed to fulfill the responsibilities of the agency, provided this overtime work is compensated in accordance with these rules and applicable state or federal statute. Insofar as is practicable, overtime will be distributed among employees qualified for this work and who are available when the overtime is needed. Prior authorization for overtime work shall be obtained from the appoint ing authority or the appointing authority’s designee;
(C) Work authorized by an appointing
(D) For individuals employed in other supervisory, technical, professional, and related categories, compensation for authorized work assignments which cause the employees to exceed forty (40) hours in pay status during a workweek will be compensated at the regular rate of pay for their positions or, at the discretion of the appointing authority, by allowing an equal amount of compensatory time off. Within the categories of professional and technical employees, an appointing authority may request and the director may recommend for approval of the board that employees in selected classes be compensated for authorized overtime work at the rate of time and one-half, either in payment or compensatory time off providing, however, that this recommendation and approval will be restricted to occupations for which it is found that overtime compensation is the prevailing practice among employers within the state and for which there is evidence that failure to provide this compensation reasonably may be expected to have a substantially negative effect upon the ability of the appointing authority to recruit and retain the required work force. For purposes of determining compensation at the rate of time and one-half under this rule, overtime is defined as that time worked by an employee in excess of forty (40) hours actually worked within a workweek. Annual leave, sick leave, holidays, and other absences with or without pay will not be considered as hours of work for purposes of computing overtime;
(E) Employees, other than those enumerated in subsections (1)(C) and (D), will be compensated at the regular rate of pay for their positions or, at the discretion of the appointing authority, by allowing an equal amount of compensatory time off for those work assignments which cause the employee to exceed forty (40) hours in pay status during a workweek. An employee shall receive an additional one-half (1/2) time compensation, by pay or compensatory time off, for any hours of work which exceed forty (40) hours actually worked within the workweek.
Annual leave, sick leave, holidays, and other absences with or without pay are not to be considered as hours of work for purposes of determining compensation at the rate of time and one-half under this rule;
(F) Category assignments for overtime purposes shall be made on a job class basis.
It is the responsibility of the director, after consultation with appointing authorities, to determine the overtime category of each class of positions in the classified service, and these assignments shall be reflected in the pay plan. For positions outside the classified service, the director will provide to appointing authorities information designed to clarify the application of this rule in the classified service, and to assist them in its application to positions outside the classified service. For these positions, however, the final decision on assignment of a particular type of position to a category for the purpose of determining the method of overtime payment is made by the appointing authority. It is the responsibility of the appointing authorities to apply these provisions in a manner which provides uniformity of treatment of all employees; and (G) Compensation for overtime will be computed uniformly on the basis of the standard annual hourly rate of pay of the employee as determined by dividing the employee’s annual full-time salary rate by two thousand eighty (2080). For employees of the Missouri School for the Blind, Missouri School for the Deaf, and State Schools for the Severely Handicapped who are employed on a schoolterm or on a part-time basis, the standard annual hourly rate of pay is determined by dividing the employee’s annual salary rate by the total hours in their term of employment.
(2) Holidays are governed by the following provisions:
(A) The days or dates listed in section 9.010, RSMo and other days or dates as may be designated by law, the governor, or the President of the United States are paid holidays;
(B) When any of the specified holidays fall on Sunday, these holidays will be observed on the following Monday, and when any of these dates or days fall on a Saturday, these holidays will be observed on the preceding Friday;
(C) An employee will be credited for a holiday only if it falls during the employee’s period of employment and the employee is in pay status. An employee whose effective date of appointment or return to pay status is before or on the day of a holiday will receive credit for the holiday. An employee whose appointment or return to pay status is effective after a holiday will receive no credit for the holiday, except when the holiday occurs at the start of a month and the employee’s appointment or return to pay status is effective the first scheduled working day following the holiday. An employee will not receive credit for a holiday which occurs after they have ceased active duty preliminary to separation from the service except that an employee who is terminating employment and who has worked the last scheduled working day before the holiday will receive credit for the holiday. This provision does not apply to an of retirement; such employee may be credited for additional holidays occurring prior to the effective date of the retirement;
(D) All full-time employees, regardless of such schedule, will receive credit for the same number of paid holidays as employees whose regular work schedule is Monday through Friday.
- Part-time employees, paid on a semimonthly pay period, who are in pay status from forty to fifty-nine (40–59) hours in a semi-monthly pay period, including one-half (1/2) credit for those eligible holidays, will receive one-half (1/2) credit, and those parttime employees who are in pay status from sixty to seventy-nine (60–79) hours in a semimonthly pay period, including three-fourths (3/4) credit for those eligible holidays, will receive three-fourths (3/4) credit. Part-time employees who are in pay status eighty (80) or more hours in a semi-monthly pay period, including full credit for those eligible holidays, will receive full credit. Other part-time employees who are scheduled to work less than one-half (1/2) time in a semi-monthly pay period or who are paid on a per-diem
basis are not entitled to compensation or credit for holidays not worked.
- Personnel whose normal duties require them to remain on duty at their workstation for shifts of twenty-four (24) hours or longer are exempt from the provisions of this

1 CSR 20-5.025 ShareLeave {#sec-1-csr-20-5.025 omnilex-key=us-mo-regs-official--title-1--1 CSR 20-5.025}
PURPOSE: This rule prescribes guidelines and standards regarding donated leave programs under the authorization of section 36.350, RSMo. These guidelines and standards provide a framework to agencies for the establishment of their ShareLeave programs.
(1) The state agencies that are covered under
section 36.350, RSMo, may establish ShareLeave programs within their agencies for employees to donate leave to other employees. These programs may be established under the conditions set out within the following regulations:
(A) As used in this rule, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the following terms mean:
-
ShareLeave means a pool of leave hours donated by eligible employees that may be conveyed from the pool to other eligible employees;
-
A catastrophic illness or injury is one which is life threatening, terminal, or likely to result in a substantial permanent disability;
-
ShareLeave pool means a repository of eligible leave hours that is maintained by a department or agency of state government for the purposes set forth under the ShareLeave program;
(B) Employees eligible to donate leave to the ShareLeave pool are those employees that are employed in positions of a permanent or continuing nature and who have completed six (6) months of service. Employees eligible to receive ShareLeave pool benefits are those employees who are employed in positions of a permanent or continuing nature and who have completed six (6) months of service;
(C) Annual leave as defined by 1 CSR 20- 5.020(1) may be donated by employees to the pool. Overtime or compensatory time as defined by 1 CSR 20-5.010(1)(C), (D), and (E) and 1 CSR 20-5.010(2)(E) may be donated by employees to the pool. Since sick leave benefits are a grant from the employer and in no sense the property of individuals, the donation of sick leave is not allowed;
(D) To be eligible for donated leave, recipient employees must have experienced a catastrophic illness or injury. Departments may also provide that employees may be eligible for donated leave if they can demonstrate that their spouse or children have experienced catastrophic illness or injury requiring the employee’s personal care and attention. The final decision concerning the granting of leave under this section rests with the department;
(E) Recipient employees must have exhausted all of their own accrued annual leave, sick leave, and compensatory leave and all worker’s compensation indemnity payments (if applicable) before being eligible for donated leave;
(F) Employees eligible to receive disability benefits from the state of Missouri are not eligible for donated leave;
(G) Donations cannot be made to individuals, but instead to a departmental or agency “pool” established for this purpose;
(H) Appointing authority will establish a method for determining the eligibility of persons who apply for leave benefits from the “pool”;
(I) All eligible applicants will receive an equitable share of leave from that available in the donation “pool”;
(J) The maximum benefit which can be authorized for any one (1) employee for any one (1) instance of eligibility is limited to the equivalent of four (4) months of regular salary;
(K) An employee receiving donated leave is credited with additional leave earnings during this period; and (L) All donations of eligible leave are voluntary. No employee may intimidate, threaten, or coerce any other employee with respect to donating or receiving leave under this program. Individual leave records that apply to ShareLeave are confidential and no individual employees are to receive remuneration of any kind for leave donated.
(2) Each appointing authority that adopts a program under section (1) of this rule will submit a formal written policy and updates to the director for review.
(3) ShareLeave for Foster and Adoptive Placement and Care. The state agencies that are covered under section 105.271, RSMo, will establish a leave-sharing program within their agencies for employees to donate annual leave, overtime, or compensatory time to an employee who is arranging for a foster or adopted child’s placement or caring for the child after placement. Nothing in this section prohibits a leave-sharing program for other purposes. This program will be established under the conditions set out within the following guidelines:
(A) As used in this rule, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the following terms mean:
-
“ShareLeave for Foster and Adoptive Placement and Care” means a pool of leave hours donated by eligible employees that may be conveyed from the pool to other eligible employees for the purpose of arranging for a foster or adopted child’s placement or caring for the child after placement;
-
“State ShareLeave Pool” means a statewide repository of eligible leave hours that is maintained by the Commissioner of Administration or designee for the purposes set forth under the ShareLeave for Foster and Adoptive Placement and Care program for the purpose of arranging for a foster or adopted child’s placement or caring for the child after placement;
-
“Department ShareLeave Pool” means a repository of eligible leave hours that is maintained by a department or agency of state government for the purposes set forth under the ShareLeave for Foster and Adoptive Placement and Care program for the purpose of arranging for a foster or adopted child’s placement or caring for the child after placement; and 4. “Foster or adoptive parent” means both those pursuing to foster or adopt a child and those who have a foster or adopted child placed in the home;
(B) Employees eligible to donate leave are those employees who are employed full time in benefit-eligible positions of a permanent or continuing nature. Employees eligible to receive ShareLeave pool benefits are those employees who are employed full time in benefit-eligible positions of a permanent or continuing nature;
(C) Annual leave as defined by 1 CSR 20- 5.010(1) may be donated by employees to a pool. Overtime or compensatory time as defined by 1 CSR 20-5.010(1)(C), (D), and (E) and 1 CSR 20-5.010(2)(E) may be donated by employees to a pool. Since sick leave benefits are a grant from the employer and in no sense the property of individuals, the donation of sick leave is not allowed.
-
Departments or agencies which opt in to the State ShareLeave Pool will send a letter and copy of agreement which indicates cross agency acceptance to the Commissioner of Administration. The State ShareLeave Pool is the only program allowed for multi-agency ShareLeave for Foster and Adoptive Placement and Care purposes.
-
Any department or agency which chooses to participate in the State ShareLeave Pool will designate one (1) employee to serve on a Statewide ShareLeave for Foster and Adoptive Placement and Care Committee, chaired by the Commissioner of Administration or designee;
(D) Any donated leave is only to be used by the recipient employee for purposes of arranging for the foster or adopted child’s placement or caring for the child after placement, which includes, but is not limited to:
-
Appointments with state officials, child placing agencies, social workers, health professionals, or attorneys;
-
Court proceedings;

Necessary travel;

-
Any periods of time during which foster or adoptive parents are ordered by the state, a child placing agency, or by a court to take time off from work to care for the foster or adopted child; or 6. Any other activities necessary to allow the foster care or adoption to proceed;
(E) The final decision concerning the granting of leave under this section rests with the chief administrative officer in the case of leave benefits from a Department ShareLeave Pool, and with the Statewide ShareLeave for Foster and Adoptive Placement and Care Committee in the case of leave benefits from the State ShareLeave Pool, and is based upon the degree to which the employee is responsible for providing care and attention in connection with the adoption or fostering of the child(ren);
(F) Recipient employees are to exhaust all of their own applicable paid leave and compensatory time prior to using donated leave;
(G) Donation of leave cannot be made for the benefit of specific individuals, but to the Department ShareLeave Pool. Donations may be transferable between different departments or agencies, with the agreement of the chief administrative officer of such departments or agencies. Such leave is deposited into the State ShareLeave Pool;
(H) The chief administrative officer will establish a method for determining the eligibility of persons who apply for leave benefits from the Department ShareLeave Pool;
(I) The Statewide ShareLeave for Foster and Adoptive Placement and Care Committee will meet as necessary to determine the eligibility of persons who apply for leave benefits from the State ShareLeave Pool;
(J) All eligible recipients will receive an equitable share of leave from that available in the applicable donation pool;
(K) The maximum benefit for any one (1) employee for any one (1) instance of eligibility cannot exceed the equivalent of four (4) months of regular salary;
(L) An employee receiving donated leave will be credited with additional leave earnings during this period; and (M) All donations of eligible leave are voluntary. No employee may intimidate, threaten, or coerce any other employee with respect to donating or requesting leave under this program. Individual leave records are confidential, and no individual employees are to receive remuneration of any kind for leave donated.
(4) Each appointing authority that adopts a program under section (3) of this rule will submit a formal written policy and updates to the director for review.

1 CSR 20-5.030 Borrowed Leave {#sec-1-csr-20-5.030 omnilex-key=us-mo-regs-official--title-1--1 CSR 20-5.030}
PURPOSE: This rule provides for borrowed leave use and availability in response to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19).
(1) Scope. This rule establishes the availability and eligibility requirements of borrowed leave within state agencies subject to section 36.350, RSMo, notwithstanding any other
rule in this chapter to the contrary. The board expects that section (2) of this rule will be rescinded when the availability of borrowed leave in response to the COVID-19 pandemic is no longer necessary.
(2) Borrowed Leave.
(A) State agencies may permit employees who have exhausted their sick leave balance to borrow against future sick leave accruals in circumstances caused directly or indirectly by COVID-19 as specified in this rule.
(B) Borrowed leave may be approved by state agencies in accordance with a written interagency memorandum issued by the Commissioner of the Office of Administration.
The board does not anticipate that this memorandum will substantially affect the legal rights of, or procedures available to, the public or any segment thereof, because it only impacts the internal management of state agencies. In response to the exigencies created by the COVID-19 pandemic, the memorandum may describe any of the following:
-
The circumstances in which borrowed leave may be approved;
-
The amount of borrowed leave available, which may vary by circumstance;
-
Documentation requirements applicable to borrowed leave, which may vary by circumstance;
-
Additional requirements applicable upon taking threshold amounts of borrowed leave;
-
The procedure by which borrowed leave will be repaid while the employee remains in state service;
-
The establishment of ShareLeave programs by which eligible employees may donate leave hours to assist recipient employees in the repayment of borrowed leave; and 7. Any other procedures or requirements incident to the administration of leave as the commissioner believes to be appropriate and necessary to address the emergency created by the COVID-19 pandemic.
(3) Repayment of Borrowed Leave. Employees approved to borrow against future sick leave accruals must repay the borrowed leave in full. In addition to repaying borrowed leave with sick leave, the interagency memorandum may specify that other accumulated time may be used by employees and, in the event of separation must be used, to repay borrowed leave. In the event an employee separates from state service prior to full repayment of borrowed leave, the remaining balance will be deducted from the employee’s compensation warrants in accordance with subdivision (4) of subsection 2 of section 33.103, RSMo, and guidelines established pursuant thereto.
To the extent the employee’s compensation warrants are insufficient to fully repay their borrowed leave balance, collection of the remaining balance is authorized.

- Architectural and engineering services on the project shall be evaluated in accordance with the requirements of sections 8.285 to 8.291, RSMo. Qualified proposers selected by the evaluation team may proceed to Phase II of the selection process. Proposers lacking the necessary qualifications to perform the work shall be disqualified and not allowed to proceed to Phase II of the process.
Under no circumstances shall price or fee be a part of the prequalification criteria. Points assigned in the Phase I evaluation process will not carry forward to Phase II of the process. All qualified proposers shall be ranked on points given in Phases II and III only.
-
The director has discretion to disqualify any proposer, which in the director’s opinion, lacks the minimal qualifications necessary to perform the work.
-
Once a sufficient number of qualified proposers have been selected, the proposers will be given a specified amount of time with which to assemble Phase II and Phase III proposals.
-
Phase II of the process shall be conducted as follows:
A. The director will invite the top qualified proposers to participate in Phase II of the process;
B. The design proposal should demonstrate compliance with the requirements set out in the request for proposal, including the level of detail requested for the design;
C. The ability of the proposer to meet the schedule for completing a project as specified by the owner may be considered as an element of evaluation in Phase II;
D. Up to twenty percent (20%) of the points awarded to each proposer in Phase II may be based on each proposer’s qualifications and ability to design, contract, and deliver the project on time and within budget of the Office of Administration;
E. Under no circumstances should the design proposal contain any reference to the cost of the proposal; and F. The design submittals will be evaluated and assigned points in accordance with the requirements of the request for proposal.
Phase II shall account for no less than forty percent (40%) of the total point score as specified in the request for proposal.

D. Cost proposals will be opened and read aloud at the time and place specified in the request for proposal. At the same time and place, the evaluation team will make public its scoring of Phase II. Cost proposals will be evaluated in accordance with the requirements of the request for proposal. In evaluating the cost proposals, the low bidder shall be awarded the total number of points assigned to be awarded in Phase III. For all other bidders, cost points will be calculated by reducing the maximum points available in Phase III by two percent (2%) or more for each percentage point of the low bid by which the bidder exceeds the low bid and the points assigned will be added to the points assigned for Phase II for each proposer;
E. If the director determines that it is not in the best interest of the state to proceed with the project pursuant to the proposal offered by the proposer with the highest total number of points, the director may reject all proposals. In such event, all qualified proposers with lower point totals shall receive a stipend and the proposer with the highest total number of points shall receive an amount equal to two (2) times such stipend.
If the director determines to award the project, the responsive proposer with the highest number of points shall be awarded the contract; and F. If all proposals are rejected, the director may solicit new proposals using different design criteria, budget constraints, or qualifications.
- As an inducement to qualified proposers, the division may pay a reasonable stipend, the amount of which shall be established in the request for proposal, to each prequalified design-builder whose proposal is responsive but not accepted. Upon payment of the stipend to any unsuccessful designbuild proposer, the state shall acquire a nonexclusive right to use the design submitted by the proposer, and the proposer shall have no further liability for its use by the state in any manner. If the design-build proposer desires to retain all rights and interest in the design proposed, the proposer shall forfeit the stipend.

(A) Initial Decision.
-
Notice of the director’s decision to suspend or debar a contractor shall be sent to the contractor by certified mail, return receipt requested. The notice should contain a statement as to the factual basis for the contractor’s suspension or debarment, the length of the suspension, and an explanation of what the contractor must do to be found eligible to again submit bids on contracts.
-
Upon receipt of notice of suspension or debarment, the contractor may request a hearing in front of the director or his/her appointed designee. The hearing will be informally conducted and provide the contractor or affiliates an opportunity to present any facts that may tend to show that the con tractor is in 6CODE OF STATE REGULATIONS fact responsible.
-
Any request for a hearing must be postmarked within ten (10) consecutive calendar days of the date of receipt of the notice, as evidenced by the return receipt.
-
The director shall render a determination within sixty (60) consecutive calendar days of the hearing. The determination shall be sent to all parties by certified mail, return receipt requested. The determination shall set forth the basis for the suspension or debarment, the length of ineligibility, and the showing required for the contractor to once again be determined eligible to bid on contracts. The determination may affirm, reverse, or modify the preliminary determination.
(B) Appeal. The contractor may request that the director’s determination be reviewed by the commissioner of administration or his/her appointed designee.
-
Any request for review must be in writing and be filed with the commissioner within fourteen (14) consecutive calendar days of the date of receipt of the director’s final determination, as evidenced by the return receipt. The request must set forth specific reasons why relief should be granted.
-
A review under this section will be based solely on the documentation submitted by both the contractor and the director. No new hearing will be provided. The commissioner may set aside a determination only if it is found to be an abuse of discretion.
-
The commissioner’s determination shall be issued within sixty (60) consecutive calendar days of the date of the request for review and shall be mailed to all parties.
-
The decision of the director or the commissioner to suspend or debar a contractor is not a “contested case” as defined in
Chapter 536, RSMo.

A suspended or debarred contractor may also not participate in any contract with the division. This restriction includes being a subcontractor, consultant, sub-consultant, or supplier to any eligible contractor, as well as submitting a bid as part of a partnership or joint venture.
-
If a contractor enters into any contract to perform work on a state project during a period of suspension or debarment, the director may issue a determination extending the time of suspension, changing a suspension to a debarment, or changing the showing that the contractor must make to be determined eligible to perform work on future contracts.
-
Any eligible contractor who knowingly contracts with a suspended or debarred contractor to provide labor or materials on a contract with the division may be suspended or debarred.
-
A suspension or debarment may extend to any affiliate of the contractor who had actual or constructive knowledge of the preliminary determination of suspension or debarment.
-
The director may suspend a contractor for a period not to exceed one (1) year or debar a contractor indefinitely. After the stated period of suspension has expired or more than two (2) years has passed since the finding of debarment, the contractor may apply to the director to be declared eligible. The contractor must show that the contractor has complied with the terms set forth in the final determination of suspension or debarment. If the contractor applies for reinstatement but is unable to demonstrate responsibility to the director, the contractor shall continue to be ineligible until the required information is provided.
(D) Cause for Suspension or Debarment.
The director may suspend or debar a company or firm and their named principals for any or a combination of the following reasons:
-
Commission of a criminal offense related to obtaining or performing a government contract;
-
Violation of antitrust statutes;
-
Commission of fraud, embezzlement, theft, forgery, making false statements, or tax evasion;
-
Commission of any other offense or action indicating a lack of business integrity or business honesty that seriously and directly affects the present responsibility of the contractor;
-
Debarment of the contractor by another state, the federal government, another entity of the state of Missouri, or by a political subdivision of the state of Missouri; or 6. Violations of material contract provisions, which include, but are not limited to failure to, perform or negligent performance of any term or standard of one or more contracts. The failure to perform caused by acts beyond the control of the contractor, or a subcontractor, or material supplier, shall not be considered a basis for suspension or debarment.

- AUTHORITY: sections 8.250, 8.255, 8.310, and 8.320, RSMo 2016. Original rule filed Nov. 5, 2007, effective June 30, 2008.
1 CSR 30-3.030 Project Design {#sec-1-csr-30-3.030 omnilex-key=us-mo-regs-official--title-1--1 CSR 30-3.030}
PURPOSE: This rule sets forth the procedure for design of projects.
(1) Selection of Designer.
(A) Design by Department/Agency. The department/agency may recommend in-house design for those projects within their capability and capacity, provided they have licensed engineers or architects to seal the prepared plans and specifications. The director will concur with this recommendation unless there appears to be a substantial question of capability or capacity. The director will be the determining authority for questions of department/agency capacity and/or capability for design of projects.
(B) Design by Division of Facilities Management, Design and Construction. The director will examine projects remaining after selections for in-house department/agency design. Those projects that are cost prohibitive to be done by consultants or for which the Division of Facilities Management, Design and Construction has the capability and capacity may be selected for in-house design by that division.
(C) Design by Consultants. Private consultants will be selected by the director for design of the balance of the projects.
-
The director will maintain a file and database of consultant firms who have expressed interest in performing work on projects. This file will include notations of specific areas of experience or expertise as expressed by each consultant firm and ratings of previous projects completed and evaluated by the division.
-
The department/agency may make recommendations for selections of consultants for design of projects not selected for inhouse design.
-
The selection of consultants will be based on the factors set forth in section 8.289, RSMo.
The director will approve the selected consultants after full consideration of the consultants’ professional and technical competence, experience, special expertise, and capacity necessary for studies and/or design of proposed projects.
A. Consideration will be given to providing opportunities for as many competent consultants as possible. Consultants who have not been retained for recent state projects will be given priority consideration in selections for new projects.
B. In those projects or programs where continuity is a significant factor, consideration will be given to continued retention of a consultant already engaged for existing projects or programs.
(2) Consultant Firm Design.
(A) Contracts. The division will negotiate contracts for consultant studies and/or design in accordance with section 8.291, RSMo.
These contracts will be negotiated for a reasonable fee considering scope, difficulty, research, disciplines involved, and proposals by the selected consultant. The director reserves the right to approve additional consultants retained by the selected consultant for work on the project or study.
(B) Communications. All official communication and direction to the consultant will be issued by the director or his/her designee, and all official communications for all designs and/or studies by the consultant will be with the director or his/her designee. This will include all submissions for approval or payment, recommendations for modifications of scope, or other guidance and resolution of any differences or problems encountered.
This will not limit informal communication or coordination between consultants and department/agencies. Informal communication and working conferences between the department/agency, and the consultant are essential to successful completion of a project and are encouraged. Knowledgeable personnel shall be made available by the department/agency for consultations and site visits by the consultant. The consultant, by prior arrangement, shall have access to the project site at reasonable times. Records and conclusions reached at any working conference(s) between the department/agency and the consultant will be forwarded to the director or his/her designee by the consultant for review and approval.
(C) Consultant’s General Responsibilities.
The consultant is responsible for establishing the concept and planning for the project, as well as providing completed designs, studies, or both as indicated in consultant contract. For project design, the consultant is responsible for providing plans and specifications to fully describe the equipment, materials and work for completion of the project in accordance with the criteria, funding, and scope provided by the director. Periodically, as scheduled in the contract, the consultant will submit work for review and approval. The submissions will include estimated costs for all project work.
When estimates for the complete project work exceed allocated funding, the consultant immediately shall notify the director, recommending adjustments and requesting further instructions before proceeding with additional design and/or study. Acceptance of the contract by the consultant includes acceptance of the adequacy of allocated funding for the work and the responsibility for redesign, if necessary, to establish a scope of project work within allocated funding.
(D) Payments. Payment method and/or periods will be as stipulated in the consultant’s contract. The director is responsible for review and approval of a consultant’s requests for payment. Approval of payment to a consultant will be based on review and approval of work complet ed to the date of the payment request. Where there appear to be differences between the payment request and the demonstrated progress, those differences will be resolved by decision of the director or his/her designee.
(3) Design Review. Designs and/or studies will be submitted to the director or his/her designee for review and approval in all projects designed by a department/agency or a consultant. The director’s review will include examination of technical adequacy, as well as economy of materials and construction methods proposed.
In addition, the director will examine estimated costs to assure that projects remain within funding authorizations. The review will be commensurate with the scope, complexity, and cost of the work. In the case of design by a consultant, review will be coordinated with the department/agency concerned. One (1) complete copy of each submission will be forwarded by the designer to the department/agency simultaneously with the submission to the director or his/her designee. Comments by the department/agency representative, if any, will be forwarded to the project manager.
Department/agency comments, along with comments of the Division of Facilities Management, Design and Construction, will be used as the basis for response to the designer.
(A) Pre-Design Conference. For projects designed by a consultant, a pre-design conference will be scheduled by the project manager with the consultant and the representative of the department/agency concerned. The project definitions established in the initial coordination will be reviewed to confirm or adjust project criteria, scope, cost, scheduling, and funding allocation. Initial fund distribution for the cost elements of the project will also be reviewed to confirm or adjust this fund distribution. Limitations and/or requirements expressed in the appropriation language should be carefully observed to assure that the project scope, costs, and funding remain within the authorization of the appropriations. The designer must agree that the scope of work can be accomplished within the available funding. When appropriate, the pre-design conference will be held at the project site to assure that all parties are familiar with the conditions under which the work will proceed, and that accommodations necessary to support the work are available. The design schedule begins with completion of the pre-design conference. After that, no changes will be made in the scope or funding of projects without written approval of the director.
(B) Design Review Submissions. For projects designed by a consultant, normally, a minimum of three (3) design review submissions will be made. These submissions will be made at approximately twenty percent (20%), fifty percent (50%), and one hundred percent (100%) of design completion to provide for timely review of technical and economic considerations in the design. For minor projects, the first two (2) submissions, with the approval of the project/construction manager, may be combined to provide design reviews at fifty percent (50%) and one hundred percent (100%) of design completion.
- Schematic. Initial submission (approximately twenty percent (20%)) should provide drawings and an outline of specifications, in sufficient detail to demonstrate the proposed concept for arrangement, as well as the criteria and general parameters used for architectural, electrical, mechanical, and structural development. Proposed innovative methods or development should be presented in sufficient detail to permit a review in depth. An estimate should be submitted in sufficient detail to demonstrate the costs of the various elements of work as well as the total cost for completion of all project work.
A copy of all items in the schematic submission will be furnished to the department/agency that will occupy or use the completed project. Comments and/or recommendations of the department/agency will be forwarded to the project manager. The project scope and cost estimate should be reviewed carefully to assure compliance with requirements and/or limitations of appropriation language. Approval by the director’s representative of schematic submission will indicate acceptance of, or required revisions to, scope, criteria, design parameters, and cost estimate.
- Design Development. The second submission (approximately fifty percent (50%)) should provide drawings and outline specifications to indicate general architectural, electrical, mechanical, and structural development of the approved concept. The development should clearly demonstrate sizes, capacities, and arrangement, and 8CODE OF STATE REGULATIONS include sufficient details to define major elements of architectural and structural work and to define sizing, location, routing, and application of mechanical and electrical equipment and/or work. An estimate should be submitted in sufficient detail to demonstrate costs of the various elements of work as well as the total cost for completion of all project work. The detail should indicate costs for major items of equipment as well as a breakdown of labor and material costs for each trade with significant work on the project. When the first two (2) design review submissions are combined, a copy of all items in the design development submission will be forwarded to the department/agency that will occupy or use the completed project.
Comments and/or recommendations of the end user will be forwarded to the project manager. When a project site is in a city or county that has adopted codes for regulation of work involved in a project, the designer will furnish one (1) courtesy copy of the design development drawings and specifications to the code review authority of that city or county. The transmittal shall note that the plans and specifications are furnished as a courtesy, for information only, and that the code review authority, if it desires, may submit comments to the director’s representative for consideration.
- Final Review. The final review submission is to contain one hundred percent (100%) of the completed drawings and specifications, including the documentation required to solicit bids. Drawings and specifications will be submitted in accordance with the latest issue of State of Missouri’s Standard Specification Format as published by the Division of Facilities Management, Design and Construction. The documents are to be complete, and sealed by appropriate engineering and/or architectural disciplines.
A final construction cost estimate should be submitted in sufficient detail to demonstrate costs of the various elements of work as well as the total cost for completion of all project work. The detail should indicate costs for major items of equipment as well as a breakdown of labor and material costs for each trade with significant work on the project.
The final review documents and a copy of all previous comments and responses generated during the design development submission will be included with the submittal.
Comments and/or recommendations of the department/agency will be forwarded to the project manager.
- Construction Documents. This final submission shall consist of drawings and specifications and construction cost estimate.
The documents are to be complete, sealed by appropriate engineering and/or architectural disciplines, and ready for issuance for bidding. Upon receipt, the project manager will finalize the bidding documents. The director’s designee performs an administrative review of the documents and, if acceptable, signs the documents as appropriate.
(4) Codes and Standards. The following are adopted as the codes and standards for work on state facilities, with the exception of facilities operated and maintained by agencies exempted from the requirements of this regulation as set forth below.

The State of Missouri and its contractors are exempt from paying license, inspection, or similar fees for work on state premises.
(5) Bidding.
(A) Prospective Bidders. Consultants retained for design work should assist the director in establishing a list of prospective bidders for projects they design. If necessary, consultants will contact prospective bidders to determine and/or solicit interest in bidding for the work. The department/agency will provide, within its capability, similar assistance.
(B) Bid Review and Recommendations. The project manager will notify the designer and the department/agency of scheduled project bid dates. Immediately following the opening of bids for a project, the project manager may coordinate a review of the bids with the department/agency and, when appropriate, with the designer. If the bids for the project are within available funding and there is agreement on the low responsive bidder, the department/agency will forward its written recommendation for award to the director along with the encumbrance for the amount of the recommended award. If project bids are not within available funding or agreement on the low responsive bidder is not reached, the department/agency will forward to the director its written recommendation for subsequent action on the project. When requested by the director, the designer also will forward a recommendation on the bids received and/or subsequent action on the project.

(A) Department/Agency/Site. The department/agency and personnel at the project site are responsible for providing the contractor with reasonable access to the project site, available utility connections, and authorized storage areas. These will be arranged to minimize interference between necessary operations at the facility and the project work.
Department/agency/site personnel shall:
-
Cooperate by exchanging information and coordinating with the contractor, but shall not assist the contractor with, or issue instructions on, project work;
-
Cooperate with and assist, to the extent possible, the director’s on-site representative and the designer in observing the work, equipment, and materials on the site; and 3. Report unusual occurrences or apparent problems to the director’s on-site representative at the earliest opportunity.
(B) Division of Facilities Management, Design and Construction. For each project, the director shall designate an on-site representative. The director’s on-site representative may be a division employee, a consultant, or a department/agency employee, as the director deems appropriate for that project.
The director’s on-site representative is responsible for supervision and administration of the project, including the following:
-
Issuing, in coordination with the designer, official instructions to the contractor;
-
Providing coordination as necessary with site personnel and verifying work or materials included in payment estimates;

Final acceptance may be made after completion of all items except for testing or adjusting seasonal equipment.
-
Warranty period. All equipment, materials, and work should be guaranteed or warranted for at least one (1) year after final acceptance, unless otherwise approved by the director. During the warranty period the facility operator shall inform the contractor of all deficiencies encountered needing correction. If not corrected within a reasonable period of time, the director’s on-site representative shall be notified.
-
Warranty inspection. During the tenth or eleventh month following completion, the designer shall schedule a meeting at the project site with the contractor, a representative of the department/agency/site, and a representative of the director. Performance of items under guaranty or warranty will be examined to assure that the contractor is providing satisfactory service. Deficiencies shall be noted and the contractor given a specific time for correction. Payment/performance bonds shall not be released until after the warranty inspection and correction of noted deficiencies. This warranty inspection shall not be construed to limit or relieve any contractual responsibility of the contractor to provide call-back or other service or correction of deficiencies during the warranty period for the equipment, materials, or work on the project.

Under the direction of the Division of Facilities Management, Design and Construction, each facility should implement energy conservation programs and initiatives that have the goal of more efficient use of energy and utilities. The program should include active management, supervision, and tracking in order to assure that energy conservation goals are achieved.
Revisions of operational practices and procedures should be incorporated to obtain revised goals and/or projects as conditions change or new requirements develop.
(B) Program Development.
- New construction or alterations. New construction or alterations to existing facilities shall require that all major elements and systems which consume energy or utilities be evaluated to economically minimize energy use. Requirements shall be established for designers of new facilities or alterations to existing facilities to provide (at a minimum) a summary of the examination and conclusions which established the annual energy consumption, selection of each utility system, and each major item of energy consuming equipment. The energy conservation standards and criteria established by the director or the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) in the most current edition or Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) standards whichever is more stringent and has been established as the energy standards and criteria for Missouri facilities.
These standards and criteria shall be utilized in designing and selecting systems and equipment which consume utilities or energy.
- Existing facilities.
A. Energy audit. The Division of Construction should maintain energy information allowing for audits and benchmarking of each facility to determine where and how energy is used. The process should identify if energy usage can be reduced by changes in operating practices, equipment, or building systems or physical conditions.
B. Implementation. Those changes which can be made within current appropriations should be made immediately. Changes which require additional funding, for example, purchase of new equipment, energy saving capital improvements, should be implemented as soon as funds are available. Energy conservation measures shall be implemented which generate cumulative savings equal to their cost within the number of years considered by industry standards to be cost effective.
(2) Facility Records.
(A) General. Each facility should maintain the following records at the site:
-
As-built drawings reflecting current status, including significant changes resulting from construction or maintenance and repair work.
-
Equipment manuals and manufacturers’ literature, along with operational and maintenance logs.
-
A control diagram for each separate control system identifying the equipment and sequence of operation.
-
All warranties issued, which should be periodically reviewed by the facility operations personnel.
(3) Maintenance Programs and Standards.
(A) Facility systems. The Division of Construction is responsible for maintaining assets and assisting state entities in meeting their facility needs for the benefit of the public through preventive maintenance and repair of the facility systems. The mission is to provide a superior workplace environment to assure health and safety for state occupants and their visitors and protect the state’s investments in property assets.
(B) Planned Maintenance Program. An effective planned maintenance program provides for maintaining facilities and equipment in a safe and acceptable condition, promotes effective use of facility maintenance personnel, establishes a basis for determining budget requirements and long-range planning, and provides a means of evaluating the maintenance effort. The program includes inspections and/or evaluation of conditions or requirements, establishment of priorities, scheduling, servicing and operation of facility equipment, corrective work, and supervisory evaluation of the maintenance effort.
- Inspection. Regular periodic condition assessment inspections of all facility elements and systems are essential for discovery of deficiencies before they deteriorate into major repair require ments. These assessments are to occur annually. Reports of deficiencies from facility occupants, or from preventative maintenance inspections, require verification and technically qualified examination to determine the cause and extent of the deficiency. Additional information may be necessary to determine corrective action or work, as well as to estimate the cost of materials, equipment, and labor for that action or work.
(C) Preventative Maintenance. Preventative maintenance will be accomplished on a regular schedule in order to substantially reduce the scope and cost of corrective maintenance/repair, emergency repairs, downtime, and overtime.
- Inspection. Scheduled preventative maintenance for a facility element, system or equipment item should include inspection of the items as often as necessary to meet or exceed manufacturers’ recommendations.
The inspection may include, but is not limited to, conditions and appearance of materials, fastenings, seals, drive systems, lubrication, or other elements. Deficiencies should be noted each time an item is serviced. A work order system will be utilized to record necessary work, accomplished work or conditions, or both, noted for each element. The work order also serves to assure that no element is inadvertently omitted. Remarks should be included on the work order providing specific information concerning noted problems or deficiencies.
- Minor Repairs. Normally, repair work is not a part of the regular scheduled service.
However, when the individual performing the servicing has the supplies and tools available, and the repair can be accomplished quickly, minor repairs can be performed during the scheduled servicing. This repair work should not be undertaken if it prevents completion of the servicing schedule. A condition requiring maintenance/repair discovered during scheduled servicing should be reported, so that needed work can be evaluated and performed as an emergency repair, if necessary, or as a programmed maintenance item.
(D) Emergency Repair. Emergency work may include some items previously programmed, but only to the extent necessary to restore service, correct imminent hazards, or prevent breakdowns. Because of the expense of emergency work, the scope of emergency work will be limited to the items that are necessary to correct the emergency condition. In many instances, this will limit the work to temporary repairs until a permanent solution can be achieved. Completion of any remaining corrective work will be programmed to provide the most cost-effective procedure.
(E) Repair versus Replacement. When repairs are estimated to cost more than fifty percent (50%) of the replacement cost of an item or system, the decision for repair or replacement should be supported by an analysis of the total cost of ownership. The total cost of ownership includes installed cost, operational cost, maintenance cost, salvage value, and life cycle considerations. The most economical method (repair or replacement) should be selected for programmed repairs.
(F) Equipment. Each item of facility equipment has a requirement for inspection and servicing after a specific interval of operation. The goal of inspecting and servicing equipment will be to maintain peak equipment efficiency during its expected life cycle to minimize downtime and equipment failure.
Equipment preventive maintenance will be scheduled and tracked through the appropriate software system.
(G) Backlog of Maintenance/Repair.
Facility managers are responsible for minimizing the maintenance/repair backlog through preventative maintenance, conservation, and effective use of available resources.
-
Operations Budget Items. Minor items in the backlog of maintenance/repair work that can be accomplished by in-house forces or with standing maintenance contracts should be specifically identified and included in the written justification for operations budget.
-
Capital Improvement Items. Major items in the backlog of maintenance/repair work should be specifically identified and included in the Capital Improvement Budget.
(H) Plans and Specifications. All work that involves the structural integrity of the facility, life safety modifications, or major revisions or major additions of elements in the utility systems shall have plans and specifications prepared under the supervision of a registered architect or registered professional engineer. The professional is required to affix a professional seal to those plans. These plans and specifi cations shall comply with the requirements, codes and standards listed in 1 CSR 30-3.030. This requirement applies to work performed by in-house personnel, as well as by contract. Emergency work that involves the facility structure, or major revisions or additions of elements or controls in the utility systems, when time will not permit preparation of plans and specifications, shall be performed under the supervision of a registered architect or registered professional engineer. Emergency work shall be documented and maintained as a part of the asbuilt drawings for the facility.
(I) Contracts. Maintenance and/or repair may be accomplished through the use of inhouse personnel, through the use of individual contracts, or through the use of standing contracts. Services, materials, equipment and supplies for maintenance and/or repair will be procured in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 8 or Chapter 34, RSMo, as amended. Personnel are not authorized to procure services, materials, equipment, or supplies exceeding twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) in value unless specific authority has been delegated to the employee for such procurement. Contracts exceeding twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) in value will be handled by Division of Facilities Management, Design and Construction contracts staff or by the Division of Purchasing, as appropriate.
(J) The Division of Facilities Management, Design and Construction uses software programs to track the maintenance and repairs needed and performed at facilities statewide, including to plan preventative maintenance activities/functions, to create, track, maintain, and schedule work orders for maintenance personnel to perform facility repairs, and to track maintenance inventory. Facility managers are responsible for familiarizing themselves with the software systems utilized by the Division of Facilities Management, Design and Construction and utilizing such systems as directed.
(4) Facility Safety.
(A) Safety Inspections. Fire systems, elevators, backflow preventers, emergency lighting, fire extinguishers, public address systems, as well as other life safety systems will be inspected according to all applicable local and state codes and ordinances, and as set forth herein.
(B) Emergency Planning. Preplanned response to emergencies is essential for the safety of personnel and for minimizing property damage. Therefore, plans for action in the event of emergencies will be prepared and include the following:
-
Actions and procedures to promote protection and safety of personnel and to minimize potential damage to property.
-
A listing of all current staff that are Federal Emergency Management Agency/State Emergency Management Agency (FEMA/SEMA) certified staff members.
-
Designation of knowledgeable personnel to coordinate actions to minimize or control potential damage.
-
Actions to be taken in the event of fires or other emergencies in adjacent facilities or areas. Liaison to allow notification to or from occupants in adjacent facilities will be established.
-
Actions for appropriate operation of electrical controls. This planning shall be coordinated with local emergency agencies to assure their awareness of these actions for their own operations in an emergency.
(C) Evacuation Plans. Evacuation plans will be established for each facility, and include clearly marked routes, exits, and assem bly areas for occupants, one (1) designated employee to ensure evacuation of the area, designation of fire lanes in drives adjacent to the facility, and actions to assure that these lanes remain clear. Evacuation plans will be posted in prominent locations throughout the facility. A line drawing floor plan of a minimum eight and one-half inches by eleven inches (8 1/2" × 11") size paper will be prepared for each floor to show evacuation routes, and posted in prominent locations on the corresponding floor.
(D) Coordination with Local Agencies and SEMA. All emergency and evacuation plans will be coordinated with local agencies for fire and police protection and for disaster planning to assure organized efforts by all parties when action is necessary. Local agencies will be consulted in the development of emergency plans for their recommended responses. State facilities may be used for shelter in cases of disasters. The use of state facilities for shelter will be coordinated and preplanned in the event other suitable local facilities are not available. The Continuity of Operations (COOP) and Continuity of Government (COG) emergency preparedness plan processes will be coordinated with the State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) for all state entities to provide emergency contact information in the event of an emergency declaration.
(E) Emergency Drills.
- Fire Drills. At least once annually, in addition to regular alarm system tests, a fire drill will be held. All personnel shall evacuate the facility by designated routes to designated assembly areas. One (1) or more employees, as appropriate, will be designated to assure that fire lanes have been cleared.
4CODE OF STATE REGULATIONS
(6/30/19) JOHNR. ASHCROFT
After each fire drill, the facility manager will obtain a report of actions and observations from each person assigned a fire emergency task. Reports may be formal or informal and will be considered in reviewing the effectiveness of the fire drill. After reviewing actions and results of fire drills, the facility manager will take action and/or make recommendations, as appropriate, to incorporate improvements into the plan.
- Tornado Drills. Tornado drills will be held periodically to familiarize personnel with appropriate procedures. Each tornado drill will be evaluated by the agency to determine effectiveness and to make improvements.
(F) Fire Prevention and Protection.
-
Coordination with local fire department. Facility managers for each site will establish a liaison with the local fire department and invite the local fire personnel to make informal inspections and recommendations for fire prevention and protection. The visits by fire department also provide the opportunity for them to be familiar with the facility and contents, which will enhance the effectiveness of their operation if a fire occurs. The coordination will also address emergency actions that are appropriate for state employees at the facility, including limitations on actions by these employees.
-
Inspections by the Facilities Management Design and Construction.
Facility managers will designate one (1) or more persons to make regular scheduled fire prevention inspections, including fire extinguishers. The number of persons designated will depend on the area, the items to be inspected, and the interval between inspections. Each extinguisher will have a tag to record date and initials for each inspection.
In some locations, these inspections can be incorporated into preventative maintenance schedules. A report of deficiencies noted will be made to the facility manager, and corrective action will be initiated.
- Installed alarm systems. Installed alarm systems will be included in preventative inspection and maintenance schedules and tested periodically on a regular schedule.
The date and results of each test will be entered into the system maintenance file record. Failure of an alarm system to function properly in a test is considered an emergency condition, and corrective action will be taken immediately.
- Grounds maintenance should incorporate measures to minimize potential for trash, grass, or brush fires.
(G) Electrical System Safety.
-
Applicable code requirements will be met for all wiring and electrical equipment on maintenance or repair projects.
-
Inspections. Preventative inspection and maintenance schedules will include inspection (and servicing as appropriate) of electric wiring and equipment. Deficiencies noted in capacity or condition of electric wiring or equipment will be evaluated immediately to determine the potential as imminent hazards. Deficiencies determined to be imminent hazards will be scheduled for immediate correction. Other noted deficiencies will be scheduled by priority.
-
Repairs. Repairs to electrical wiring and equipment will be accomplished only by experienced personnel following procedures to assure minimum potential hazards. Repairs to electrical wiring or electrical equipment will be accomplished by using a lockout/tagout procedure with a team of two (2) or more persons. Materials and equipment installed during the electrical repairs will be in accordance with current International Building Code (IBC) electrical codes.
(H) Lighting. Safety and/or emergency lighting will provide minimum lighting levels to assure safe movement of personnel.
Emergency lighting, including exit lights, will be included in preventative inspection and maintenance programs, to assure proper functioning in accordance with current IBC electrical codes. Night lighting will be adequate to provide minimum essential light levels in all corridors or aisles.
(I) Floor loads. Floors are designed to carry specific loads. Normally these loads are expressed in terms of concentrated loads (such as file cabinets) on a small area or uniform loads (such as desks) spread over a wider area. Facility managers will become familiar with the design floor loads and ensure that equipment and/or rows of file cabinets or similar heavy loadings do not exceed the designed capacity. When expertise is not available in the department/agency, requests for assistance in establishing floor load capacities may be directed to the Project Management Unit of the Division of Facilities Management, Design and Construction.
(J) Floor and stair finishes. Floor and stair finishes will be maintained in a safe condition. Selection of floor waxes should include consideration for skid resistance and stairs should have nonskid surfaces or strips. Tiles on floors or stairs, stair nosing, nonskid surfaces, or strips will be maintained in a secure uniform surface. In corridors, aisles or stairs, loose, broken, or missing tile, stair nosing, or nonskid materials will be considered as imminent health and safety hazards and scheduled for immediate correction.
(K). Equipment, controls and moving elements. Equipment with exposed moving elements or drives will be in enclosed and/or locked spaces to prevent accidental contact by personnel. High voltage, high amperage, and high temperature equipment or controls will be in locked cabinets and/or spaces with access limited to authorized personnel. Main electrical control equipment, main valves, and other utility or equipment controls will be in locked spaces with access limited to authorized personnel.
(L) Storage of flammable materials and gases. Storage for flammable materials and gases will be limited to the minimum quantities, consistent with usage rates and available delivery schedules. Since these materials are especially hazardous to health, safety, and property, they will be stored and handled accordingly. Ventilated, secured storage accessible only to authorized personnel will comply with current codes, standards, and Missouri Emergency Response Commission (MERC) reporting requirements. The access to and storage or use of these materials will be carefully controlled in accordance with current codes and standards.
(5) Security.
(A) General. Security standards indicated in this section are minimal and apply to physical security of facilities. These standards do not address requirements for security personnel or security requirements for functions or activities of the facility occupants, since these are operational responsibilities of the various department/agencies.
(B) Locks and Access Control. The security of locks within a facility will be commensurate with the level of need for security of the area or element being secured. All access devices made for locking facilities or facility equipment will be numbered and identified (in records) with the locking device. Each access device for a facility locking mechanism will be issued by number to a specific individual, and the issue of all access devices will be recorded in a control register. All personnel leaving employment at the facility shall return all access devices issued for facility locking devices and the returns will be recorded in the register. A periodic inquiry will be made to determine the location of all access devices for facility locking devices. If an access device is missing, a determination of need for changing the locks and issuing new keys will be made.
(C) After Hours Access. After hours access to every facility shall be limited to an absolute minimum, consistent with requirements for accomplishing assigned functions or tasks. This access shall be documented.
(D) Security Lighting. Security lighting will be designed and used with consideration for minimum effective light levels and energy conservation. Controls for automatic turn-on and turn-off should be considered in all security lighting.
(E) Coordination with Local Law Enforcement. Coordination will be established with local law enforcement agencies to enhance the security of all state facilities.
Coordination will include providing names of persons to be notified in case of emergency or breach of physical security and a request for surveillance and/or patrols of the area. Local law enforcement authorities will be notified of the presence and/or location of items needing a high degree of security and items that may be likely targets for theft and vandalism.
Posted signs for notification in case of emergency will list only the telephone number of the local law enforcement or security office.
The local law enforcement or security office can then notify personnel who should respond for an emergency. This notification system avoids the danger of an employee being forced to provide entry for unauthorized persons.
(F) Video Surveillance. The Division of Construction and/or the Capitol Police currently use video surveillance in some state facilities as a security measure, including the Capitol Building, and may use video surveillance in other facilities, as determined to be necessary.
(G) Metal detector and/or security guards.
The Division of Facilities Management, Design and Construction and/or the Capitol Police currently use metal detectors and security guards in some facilities for added security. Metal detectors and/or security guards may be placed in additional facilities, as determined to be necessary.

(O) “WBE” means Women Business Enterprise.
(P) “Women Business Enterprise” The definition in section 37.020(6), RSMo, will be applied.
(2) Contract Amount. This regulation applies to any Office of Administration, state of Missouri construction contract awarded to a successful bidder in a bid amount equal to or greater than one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000).
(3) Discrimination Prohibited. No person shall be excluded from participation in, or denied the benefits of, or otherwise be discriminated against in connection with the award and performance of any contract covered by this regulation, on the grounds of race, color, sex, or national origin.
(4) Commissioner, Duties, and Responsibilities. The commissioner shall, through the Office of Equal Opportunity (OEO) for M/WBEs and through FMDC for SDVEs— (A) Compile, maintain, and make available a directory of M/WBE and SDVE vendors along with their capabilities relevant to construction contracting requirements in general and to particular solicitations. OEO or FMDC shall make the directory available, upon request, to all bidders and contractors. The directory shall specify the name of the M/WBE or SDVE, the categories of work in which the firm is certified, if applicable, its address, phone number, email address, age of firm, and contact person;
(B) To the extent deemed appropriate, include all M/WBEs and SDVEs on open solicitation mailing lists;
(C) Annually report in writing to the commissioner concerning the awarding of contracts to M/WBEs or SDVEs; and (D) Certify the eligibility of M/WBEs and joint ventures involving M/WBEs and maintain listings of SDVEs.
(5) Contract Goals and Compliance with Program Requirements.
(A) For contracts bid and awarded by FMDC, the successful bidder shall have as the overall SDVE contract goal not less than three percent (3%) of the work to be performed by SDVEs.
(B) Executive Order 15-06 states that the State of Missouri’s Annual Aspirational Program Goal for Minority Business Enterprises is ten percent (10%) of all state annual procurement funds expended by executive branch agencies, and the State of Missouri’s Annual Aspirational Program Goal for Women Business Enterprises is ten percent (10%) of all such state annual procurement funds. These goals are a benchmark by which M/WBE opportunities to participate in state procurement are monitored and evaluated. These ten percent (10%) goals do not authorize or require FMDC to set M/WBE contract goals at the ten percent (10%) level, or any other particular level, or to take any special administrative steps if the contract goals are above or below ten percent (10%).
(C) FMDC may use individual contract goals to help meet the State’s Annual Aspirational Program Goals. FMDC may establish individual contract goals, with support from the Office of Equal Opportunity (OEO). FMDC shall set each contract goal by reviewing the type of project, elements of work to be performed, time for contract performance, and geographical location, history of M/WBE, and non-M/WBE utilization, and availability of ready, willing, and able M/WBEs certified by OEO. The goals will be expressed in the bid document as a percentage of the total contract value. Individual contract goals may be set higher or lower than the State’s Annual Aspirational Program Goals.
(D) Bidders must, in order to be responsive, make sufficient good faith efforts to meet M/WBE and SDVE contract goals. The bidder can meet the individual contract goals in either one (1) of two (2) ways. First, the bidder can meet the goals through documenting commitments for participation by M/WBEs and SDVEs sufficient to meet the M/WBE and SDVE contract goals. Second, the bidder can document adequate good faith efforts pursuant to section (6), Good Faith Efforts Waiver.
(E) M/WBE and SDVE individual contract goals can be met by a qualified M/WBE or SDVE vendor and/or through the use of qualified M/WBE and SDVE subcontractors, suppliers, joint ventures, or other arrangements that afford meaningful opportunities for M/WBE and SDVE participation. M/WBE vendors shall be certified by OEO on the opening date of a bid/proposal. If an M/WBE vendor’s certification has expired or otherwise ended, but the vendor has submitted its renewal application or other supporting documents to OEO prior to the bid/proposal opening and certification is reinstated prior to contract award, then the M/WBE vendor shall be considered certified for purposes of the responsiveness of the bid or proposal.
(F) If the bidder is awarded the contract, the amount of the M/WBE and SDVE vendor participation committed to by the bidder shall be a binding contractual requirement.
(G) A bidder that is certified as an MBE, WBE, or SDVE, or a combination thereof, can meet the MBE, WBE, or SDVE target participation percentages as long as the bidder is performing at least the total of the combined target MBE, WBE, or SDVE percentage of the contract value.
(H) Once the contract is awarded, it is the responsibility of the contractor to submit documentation to FMDC on a monthly basis, as required in the solicitation, that supports the utilization of M/WBE and SDVE subcontractors.
-
No dollar value of work performed under a contract may be counted toward the contract goal after the M/WBE has ceased to be certified.
-
The participation of a M/WBE or SDVE subcontractor toward a contract goal cannot be counted until the amount has been paid to the M/WBE or SDVE.
(I) If the contractor fails to fulfill its contractual responsibilities, and no M/WBE or SDVE waiver has been granted, the director may cancel the contract and/or suspend or debar the contractor from participating in future state procurements for a period of a minimum of six (6) months, up to permanent debarment or withhold payment to the contractor in an equal amount to the value of the participating commitment less actual payments made by the contractor to the participating entity. If the director determines that a contractor has met its contractual commitments, any withheld funds shall be released.
- A contractor may appeal a suspension or debarment to the commissioner by filing a written appeal within twenty (20) days from the date on the notice of suspension or debarment. The suspension or debarment remains in effect pending the results of the appeal.
The commissioner may request additional documentation, information, or explanation when reviewing the appeal.
- At the time of contract renewal, a contractor must verify it is meeting its contractual obligations. If the contractor is not meeting its obligations, the contract renewal shall not be processed unless and until the contractor fulfills its obligations satisfactorily or a waiver on the basis of good faith efforts is obtained from FMDC.
(6) Good Faith Efforts Waiver.
(A) A bidder is required to make a good faith effort to locate and contract with M/WBEs and SDVEs. If a bidder has made a good faith effort to meet the M/WBE or SDVE contract goal, the bidder may submit with its bid or proposal or at the time specified in the solicitation the information requested on forms provided with the solicitation documents. The director will review the bidder’s actions as set forth in the bidder’s submittal documents and other factors deemed relevant by the director, to determine if a good faith effort has been made to meet the applicable contract goal. If the bidder is judged not to have made a good faith effort, the bid shall be rejected.
(B) A bidder who demonstrates that it has made a good faith effort to meet the M/WBE and SDVE contract goal will not have its bid rejected regardless of the percent of M/WBE and SDVE participation, provided the bid is otherwise acceptable.
(C) In reaching a determination that the bidder has made a good faith effort to meet the contract goal, the director may evaluate, but is not limited to, the following factors:
-
The bidder’s attendance at pre-bid conferences for the solicitation;
-
The bidder’s efforts and methods to provide M/WBEs and SDVEs with full sets of plans, specifications, or appropriate information in a timely manner to assist the M/WBE or SDVE in responding to the bidder’s solicitation. This could include conducting market research to identify M/WBEs and SDVEs, and providing emails or written notices to all OEO certified M/WBEs listed in OEO’s directory and listed SDVEs that specialize in the areas of work desired and which are located in the applicable area or surrounding areas as early in the acquisition process as practicable. Pro formamailings to M/WBEs or SDVEs requesting bids are not alone sufficient to satisfy good faith efforts;
-
The bidder’s efforts to make initial contact with at least three (3) M/WBEs and SDVEs for each category of work to be performed, its follow up with those contacted, and whether the bidder received a proposal for those categories of work;
-
The bidder’s efforts to assist interested M/WBEs and SDVEs in obtaining bonding, lines of credit, or insurance as required by FMDC, or the efforts made to assist in obtaining necessary equipment, supplies, materials, or related assistance or services;
-
The extent to which the bidder divided work into projects suitable for subcontracting to M/WBEs and SDVEs including, where appropriate, breaking out contract work items into economically feasible units, for example, smaller tasks or quantities to facilitate M/WBE or SDVE participation, even when the bidder might otherwise prefer to perform the work with its own forces.
Prime contractors are not, however, required to accept higher quotes from M/WBEs or SDVEs if the price difference is excessive or unreasonable, but the fact that there may be some additional costs involved in finding and using M/WBEs or SDVEs is not in itself sufficient reason for a bidder’s failure to meet the contract M/WBE or SDVE percentage, as long as such costs are reasonable;
-
The bidder’s ability to provide sufficient evidence in the form of documentation that supports the information provided;
-
The reasons provided by the bidder for the inability to reach a contract percentage and the ability of other bidders to meet the percentages, if applicable;
-
Actual past participation of M/WBEs and SDVEs achieved by the bidder; and 9. The rejection of an M/WBE or SDVE solely because its quotation for work was not the lowest received is not a sufficient good faith effort. However, a bidder is not required to accept an excessive or unreasonable quote in order to satisfy contract percentages.
(D) When a non-M/WBE or non-SDVE subcontractor is selected over an M/WBE or SDVE, FMDC may require the bidder to submit copies of each M/WBE and SDVE and each non-M/WBE and non-SDVE quote to review whether M/WBE or SDVE prices were substantially higher, and FMDC may contact the M/WBE or SDVE subcontractor to inquire as to whether the firm was contacted by the prime bidder.
(7) Bidder’s Duties and Responsibilities.
(A) A bidder shall submit with its bid or proposal the information requested as required in the solicitation for each subcontractor, including M/WBEs and SDVEs the bidder intends to use on the contract work.
(B) If the M/WBE and SDVE is a joint venture, and one (1) or more parties of the joint venture is not certified or listed as an M/WBE and SDVE, the bidder shall submit with its bid proposal the information requested on the form provided.
(C) The bidder shall use M/WBEs certified or approved by OEO or listed SDVEs to meet the contract goal. Certified M/WBE vendors can be found at the OEO’s website and listed SDVE vendors can be found on the FMDC’s website.
(8) Termination or Substitution of an M/WBE or SDVE. If a contractor needs to substitute an M/WBE or SDVE subcontractor, the contractor, for good cause, must apply to the director for written approval to replace the entity.
(A) Before a contractor transmits to the director its request to terminate and/or substitute an M/WBE or SDVE, the contractor must give notice in writing to the M/WBE or SDVE subcontractor, with a copy to OEO and 4CODE OF STATE REGULATIONS (10/31/16) JASONKANDER FMDC, of its intent to request to terminate and/or substitute, and the reason for the request. The contractor must give the M/WBE or SDVE five (5) working days to respond to the contractor’s notice and advise OEO and FMDC and the contractor of the reasons, if any, why it objects to the proposed termination of its subcontract and why OEO and FMDC should not approve the contractor’s request. If required in a particular case as a matter of public necessity (e.g., safety), the contactor may provide a response period shorter than five (5) days.
(B) For purposes of this subsection, good cause for approval of a request for termination or substitution for an M/WBE or SDVE includes the following:
-
The listed M/WBE or SDVE subcontractor fails or refused to execute a written contract;
-
The listed M/WBE or SDVE fails or refuses to perform the work of its subcontract in a way consistent with normal industry standards. Provided, however, that good cause does not exist if the failure or refusal by the M/WBE or SDVE subcontractor to perform its work on the subcontract resulted from the bad faith or discriminatory action of the prime contractor;
-
The listed M/WBE or SDVE subcontractor fails or refuses to meet the prime contractor’s reasonable, nondiscriminatory bond requirements;
-
The listed M/WBE or SDVE subcontractor becomes bankrupt, insolvent, or exhibits credit unworthiness;
-
The listed M/WBE or SDVE subcontractor is ineligible to work on public works projects because of suspension or debarment proceedings;
-
The listed M/WBE or SDVE subcontractor is not a responsible contractor as determined by FMDC;
-
The listed M/WBE or SDVE subcontractor voluntarily withdraws from the project and provides the prime contractor written notice of its withdrawal;
-
The listed M/WBE subcontractor is ineligible to receive M/WBE credit for the type of work required;
-
The listed M/WBE or SDVE subcontractor owner dies or becomes disabled with the result that a listed M/WBE or SDVE prime contractor is unable to complete its work on the contract; and 10. Other documented good cause that FMDC determines compels the termination of an M/WBE or SDVE subcontractor.
Provided that good cause does not exist if the prime contractor seeks to terminate an M/WBE or SDVE it relied upon to obtain the contract so that the prime contractor can selfperform the work for which the M/WBE or SDVE contractor was engaged or so that the prime contractor can substitute another subcontractor after contract award.
(C) If approved, the contractor must make good faith efforts to meet the contractual commitment to the contract goal. These good faith efforts shall be directed at finding another M/WBE or SDVE to perform at least the same amount of work under the contract as the M/WBE or SDVE that was terminated, to the extent needed to meet the contract goal.
FMDC’s approval shall not be arbitrarily withheld. If the contractor cannot obtain a replacement M/WBE or SDVE, it may apply to FMDC for a waiver or reduction of the contract goal by providing documentation detailing all good faith efforts made to secure a replacement and a good cause statement establishing why the contract goal cannot be met. If the contractor has met its burden of proof, FMDC, after consulting with OEO regarding M/WBE waiver requests, may grant a waiver or reduction of the M/WBE or SDVE contract goal.
-
The good faith efforts shall be documented by the contractor. If FMDC requests additional documentation under this subsection, the contractor shall submit the additional documentation within seven (7) calendar days, which may be extended for an additional seven (7) days if necessary at the request of the contractor.
-
FMDC shall provide a written determination to the contractor, after consulting with OEO regarding M/WBE waiver requests, stating whether or not good faith efforts have been demonstrated.
(9) Counting M/WBE and SDVE Participation Towards Goals.
(A) M/WBE and SDVE participation will be counted towards the contract goal only for the value of the work actually performed by the M/WBE or SDVE including the cost of supplies and materials obtained or leased by the M/WBE or SDVE, but excluding supplies and equipment purchased or leased by the M/WBE or SDVE subcontractor from the prime contractor or its affiliate.
-
A contractor’s entire expenditure to be paid to an M/WBE or SDVE supplier or manufacturer for material furnished which becomes a permanent part of the contract work will be counted towards the contract goal. For the purpose of this regulation, a manufacturer shall be defined as an individual or firm that produces goods from raw materials or substantially alters them before resale.
-
The work an M/WBE or SDVE contractor commits to perform with its own forces as well as the work that it commits to perform with M/WBE or SDVE subcontractors and suppliers will be counted towards the contract goal.
-
When an M/WBE or SDVE performs as a participant in a joint venture, only the portion of the total dollar value of the contract equal to the distinct, clearly defined portion of the work of the contract that the M/WBE or SDVE performs with its own forces will be counted towards the contract goal.
(B) A bidder may count towards the contract goal only expenditures to certified M/WBE and listed SDVE vendors that perform a commercially useful function in the work of a contract.
-
An M/WBE and SDVE vendor is considered to perform a commercially useful function when it is responsible for executing a distinct element of the work or the contract and is carrying out its responsibilities by actually performing, managing, and supervising the work involved.
-
To perform a commercially useful function, the M/WBE or SDVE must also be responsible, with respect to materials and supplies used on the contract, for negotiating price, determining quality and quantity, ordering the material, and installing (where applicable) and paying for the material itself.
-
To determine whether an M/WBE or SDVE is performing a commercially useful function, OEO and FMDC will evaluate the amount of work subcontracted, industry practices, whether the amount the firm is to be paid under the contract is commensurate with the work it is actually performing and the firm’s credit claimed for its performance of the work, and other relevant factors. A firm does not perform a commercially useful function if its role is limited to that of an extra participant in a transaction, contract, or project through which funds are passed in order to obtain the appearance of M/WBE or SDVE participation. In determining whether a firm is such an extra participant, FMDC will examine similar transactions, particularly those in which M/WBEs or SDVEs do not participate.
-
If an M/WBE or SDVE does not perform or exercise responsibility for at least thirty percent (30%) of the total cost of its contract with its own work force, or the M/WBE or SDVE subcontracts a greater portion of the work of a contract than would be expected on the basis of normal industry practice for the type of work involved, the director will presume that it is not performing a commercially useful function.
-
When an M/WBE or SDVE is presumed not to be performing a commercially useful function as provided in paragraph (9)(B)4. of this rule, the M/WBE or SDVE may present evidence to rebut this presumption. The director may determine that the firm is performing a commercially useful function given the type of work involved and normal industry practices.
(C) The bidder may count its entire expenditures to M/WBE or SDVE suppliers provided that the M/WBE or SDVE supplier performs a commercially useful function in the supply process.
(10) Maintenance of Records and Reports.
The director shall maintain records identifying and assessing the contractor’s progress in achieving the contract goals of M/WBE and SDVE. These records shall show— (A) Procedures which have been adopted by the contractor to comply with the requirements of these regulations;
(B) The amount and nature of awards made by the contractor to M/WBE and SDVE vendors/suppliers/manufacturers; and (C) Monthly reports from the contractor on its progress in meeting the contract goals.
(11) Certification of M/WBE Vendors.
(A) OEO, which was created under Executive Orders 15-06 and 10-24, is responsible for the certification of M/WBE vendors for the state of Missouri by following state
regulation 1 CSR 10-17.040.
(12) Nothing in this regulation shall limit or affect the commissioner’s functions and rights to determine the qualification, responsibilities, and reliability of any individual, firm, or other entity to participate in state contracts.

Chapter 7 Drug and Alcohol Testing Program Contractual Requirement
1 CSR 30-7.010 Drug and Alcohol Testing Program Requirements {#sec-1-csr-30-7.010 omnilex-key=us-mo-regs-official--title-1--1 CSR 30-7.010}
PURPOSE: This rule sets forth the basis and legal requirements, contractual requirements, testing requirements, substance abuse testing protocols, threshold limits, consequences of refusal to submit to testing/confirmed positive results, reinstatement procedures, and compliance determination for a drug and alcohol program pursuant to section 161.371, RSMo Supp. 2010.
(1) Basis and Legal Requirements. In an effort to create safe and healthy schools and workplaces, the state of Missouri requires that contractors and subcontractors shall maintain and enforce a written substance abuse testing program for public works construction projects on public and charter elementary and secondary education construction projects that are subject to the control of the state of Missouri. This policy is not intended to be a substitute for the contractor’s or subcontractor’s complete written substance abuse policy. These requirements shall be the minimum requirements for complying with section 161.371, RSMo, and may be supplemented at the discretion of the contractor or subcontractor.
The state of Missouri has a vital interest in protecting the safety of students and maintaining safe, healthful, and efficient working conditions for both the state’s and its contractors’ and subcontractors’ employees; and has determined that the educational and work environment is safer and more productive without the presence of illegal or inappropriate drugs, alcohol, or other substances in the body or on state property on which any state elementary or secondary school is located or being constructed or improved.
The use of illegal drugs, on or off duty, is inconsistent with law-abiding behavior expected of all persons. The use of illegal drugs, or abuse of alcohol or prescription drugs, may impair the ability of employees to perform tasks that are critical to proper work performance. The result is an increase in accidents and failures that pose a serious threat to the safety of all students, employees, visitors, and the general public. Impaired employees also tend to be less productive, less reliable, and prone to greater absenteeism, resulting in the potential for increased cost and delays in the timely completion of contracts.
(2) Contractual Requirements.
(A) Each contract entered into for the performance of work on any public and charter elementary and secondary education construction project subject to the control of the state of Missouri shall require that each contractor or subcontractor have in place a drug and alcohol testing program consistent with this rule. These contractual requirements shall apply to contractor and subcontractor employees on public and charter elementary and secondary education construction projects that are subject to the control of the state of Missouri. The contractor and all subcontractors shall comply with this contractual requirement. The state of Missouri shall determine, in its sole discretion, when this contractual requirement shall be applicable; and in such instances, any bid submitted in response to a request for proposal shall comply with this contractual requirement.
(B) In order to be eligible to perform work on public and charter elementary and secare subject to the control by the state of Missouri, a contractor must have and enforce a written drug and alcohol testing program incorporating the following testing requirements and terms and conditions applicable to all its employees and subcontractors. No employee or prospective employee of a contractor or subcontractor shall be permitted to work on public and charter elementary and that are subject to this rule unless such employee submits to testing as required by the contractual requirement required by this
rule.
(C) Each contractor and each subcontractor subject to this rule shall train its supervisory employees in methods that will allow them to recognize the signs and symptoms of substance abuse and to take action provided by this contractual requirement in a manner consistent with generally accepted safety training procedures.
(D) Each contractor and each subcontractor subject to this rule is responsible for the cost of developing, implementing, and enforcing its drug and alcohol testing program, including the cost of drug and alcohol testing of its employees provided by the contractual requirement required by this rule.
(E) The contractor shall furnish a copy of its drug and alcohol testing program and certify that it and its subcontractors are in compliance with the provisions of this rule to the state of Missouri at the time it submits a bid for any contract with the state of Missouri for work on public and charter elementary and secondary education construction projects that are subject to the control of the state of Missouri. Each contract of the prime contractor with a subcontractor and each contract of a subcontractor of any tier with another subcontractor shall include as a condition of subcontracting a requirement that the subcontractor has an established drug and alcohol testing program as provided by this rule and that the subcontractor shall include the same contract condition in any subcontract it may enter with another subcontractor. Additionally, each subcontractor, and each subcontractor of any tier with another subcontractor, shall furnish a copy of its drug and alcohol testing program to the prime contractor prior to commencement of work on public and charter elementary and secondary education construction projects that are subject to this contractual requirement. The awarding contractor or the Division of Facilities Management, Design and Con-struction may reject a subcontractor’s program as noncompliant with the contractual requirement required by this rule.
(F) For purposes of this rule, performance of work on any public and charter elementary and secondary education construction project subject to the control of the state of Missouri shall mean construction projects contracted by the Division of Facilities Management, Design and Construction, or construction projects administered by the Division of Facilities Management, Design and Construction.
(3) Testing Requirements.
(A) Pre-Engagement Testing. Testing for all substances other than alcohol as described in this rule shall be conducted by each contractor and subcontractor for its employees within one hundred twenty (120) days prior to any employee’s appearance on a public and charter elementary and secondary education construction project that is subject to this contractual requirement. Contractors’ or subcontractors’ employees that can provide certification of a previous drug test occurring within one hundred twenty (120) days or employees that have been subject during the preceding consecutive two (2) years to a random and periodic selection program that meets the standards as set forth in this rule and, if the employee actually has been tested, that indicates a negative result for each of the substances listed herein, may be exempted from pre-engagement testing provided by this rule. If the employee was not employed by the contractor or subcontractor that is his or her current employer at the time of the previous test, the employee may be exempted from preengagement testing only upon certification of the non-negative test directly from the administrator of the testing program that conducted the previous test.
(B) Random Testing. All employees of the contractor and subcontractor shall be subject to random testing by the contractor or subcontractor. For employees holding a commercial driver’s license, the annualized drug and alcohol testing rate shall comply with 49 CFR Part 382, as may be amended from time-to-time, and similar applicable regulations of the Federal Highway Administration.
All other employees of the contractor or subcontractor shall be subject to testing for all substances other than alcohol at the random annualized selection rate of fifty percent (50%) of the contractor’s or subcontractor’s employees. Employees selected for random testing shall report in a timely manner to the drug and alcohol testing laboratory or collection site where directed for drug and/or alcohol testing.
(C) Periodic Testing. All employees working on public and charter elementary and secare subject to this rule shall be subject to periodic and random testing for all substances other than alcohol on at least a biannual basis.
Contractors’ or subcontractors’ employees that have been subjected to pre-engagement testing or randomly tested during the preceding consecutive two (2) years as provided by this rule and such testing indicates a negative result for each of the substances listed herein may be exempted from periodic testing provided by this rule. Employees subject to periodic testing shall report in a timely manner as directed to the drug and alcohol testing laboratory or collection site for drug testing.
(D) Reasonable Suspicion Testing. All employees of the contractor and each subcontractor on public and charter elementary and that are subject to this rule shall be subject to a drug and alcohol test when an employee is acting in an abnormal manner that leads a supervisory employee of the contractor or subcontractor to have reasonable suspicion that the employee is under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances. Reasonable suspicion means suspicion based on specific personal observations by the supervisory employee concerning the appearance, behavior, speech, or breath odor of the employee.
(E) Post-Accident/Incident Testing. All employees of contractors and subcontractors on public and charter elementary and secare subject to this rule shall be subject to a drug and alcohol test following an on-the-job injury requiring medical treatment or following a serious or potentially serious incident, including near misses, during which safety precautions were violated; persons were or could have been injured; unsafe instructions or orders were given; vehicles, equipment, or property was damaged; careless acts were performed; or when prescribed personal protective or safety equipment was not worn.
Employees involved or that may have contributed to the incident shall be subject to a drug and alcohol test. If it is impossible or impractical, because of the physical condition of the person involved in the accident to be subjected to drug and alcohol testing, and if in subsequent medical treatment that person’s blood or other bodily fluid will be drawn, then that blood or other bodily fluids may be analyzed for drugs and alcohol.
(4) Substance Abuse Testing Protocols.
(A) A contractor or subcontractor subject to the provisions of this rule shall perform pre-engagement, random, periodic, reasonable suspicion, and post accident/incident testing in the following manner:
- Drug Testing— A. All urine samples collected under this program shall be analyzed by a laboratory certified by the National Institute on Drug Abuse/Substance Abuse and Mental Health Service Administration of the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services and shall include an initial Enzyme Multiplied Immunoassay Screening Test (EMIT) and, when necessary, confirmed by a Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) confirmation test. All samples confirmed by the laboratory as non-negative shall be interpreted as positive or negative by a Medical Review Officer licensed by the American Association of Medical Review Officers, American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, Medical Review Officer Certification Council, or American Society of Addiction Medicine;
- Alcohol Testing— A. The initial screening tests for alcohol shall be performed by using either a saliva test or a Department of Transportation (DOT) approved breathalyzer; and B. Alcohol confirmatory tests shall be performed by either a blood alcohol test or a DOT approved breathalyzer.
(B) Testing for the presence of drugs or alcohol in an employee’s system and the handling of test specimens shall be conducted in accordance with guidelines for laboratory testing procedures and chain-of-custody procedures established by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Service Administration of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
(C) The program shall require notification to the employer and employee of the results of any non-negative drug and alcohol test, and the Division of Facilities Management, Design and Construction shall be notified of the action taken to protect the safety of students as a result of such positive test, provided that no requirement of individual confidentiality of test results provided by federal law or regulation or state statute shall be violated in providing such notifications. The provisions of this rule shall not be construed to require the contractor or subcontractor or person conducting a drug or alcohol test to inform the Division of Facilities Management, Design and Construction of the name of an employee receiving a non-negative drug or alcohol test result.
(5) Threshold Limits. All samples collected shall be analyzed by a laboratory certified by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Service Administration of the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services and shall include an initial Enzyme Multiplied Immunoassay Screening Test (EMIT) and, when necessary, confirmed by a Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS)
Confirmation Test. Said testing must screen, at a minimum, for the substances and levels of such substances provided by 49 CFR Part 40 and for alcohol as provided by 49 CFR Part 382, as may be amended from time-to-time. The levels that shall be deemed to result in a negative test result shall be defined by 49 CFR Part 40 and 49 CFR
Part 382, as may be amended from time-totime; provided that if such regulations shall no longer define substances and testing levels in the future, testing as required by this rule shall screen for the following substances that shall not exceed the following levels in order to be deemed a negative test result:

All other terms will follow their relevant statutory or regulatory definitions.
(3) When the procurement is estimated to be less than one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), an informal method of solicitation may be utilized. Informal methods of procurement may include Request for Quotation (RFQ), telephone quotes, etc.
(A) The division will establish a target date and time for submission of informal bids.
(B) The division may proceed with the evaluation and award anytime after the expiration of the target date and time. Bids received after the target date and time, but before the award of a contract, may be included in the evaluation at the discretion of the (4) When the procurement is estimated to be one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), or more, a formal method of solicitation must be utilized. Formal competitive bidding may be accomplished by utilizing an Invitation for Bid (IFB). Pursuant to section 34.047, RSMo, information technology purchases estimated not to exceed one hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($150,000) may be completed under an informal process provided the procurement does not exceed twelve (12) months and it is posted on the division online bidding/vendor registration system website.
(A) When the division decides that all bids are unacceptable and circumstances do not permit a rebid, negotiations may be conducted with only those bidder/offerors who submitted bids in response to the IFB. No additional bidder/offerors may be solicited. Upon determination that negotiations will be conducted, the bids and related documents will be closed to public viewing in accordance with section 610.021, RSMo. All negotiations will be conducted in accordance with the competitive negotiation provisions provided for in these regulations, or as provided for in the solicitation, if applicable.
(5) When the procurement requires the utilization of competitive negotiation, the formal Request for Proposal (RFP) solicitation method should be utilized.
(6) Submission of bids or proposals. Formal bids/proposals should be received in the division or a secured electronic database in a sealed format by the time set for the opening of the bids/proposals.
(A) In the event that the division receives a container which is not identifiable as a specific bid/proposal, an authorized person within the division may open the container to determine the contents. If the contents are determined to be a bid/proposal, the container will be resealed and the solicitation number, opening date, and time will be noted on the outside. The container will then be filed until the official time for opening.
(B) Formal bids/proposals received after the time set for the opening of proposals shall be considered late and will not be opened, except in those circumstances described below.
(C) Under extraordinary circumstances, the director or designee may authorize the opening of a late proposal. In such cases, the proposal must have been turned over to the physical control of an independent postal or courier service with promised delivery time prior to the time set for the opening of proposal, or late delivery of the proposal must be attributable to an issue with the state’s electronic bid system that was out of the control of the submitting vendor. All such decisions are at the sole discretion of the director or designee. The following guidelines may be utilized to determine the criteria for an extraordinary circumstance:
-
State offices were closed due to inclement weather conditions;
-
Postal or courier services were delayed due to labor strikes or unforeseen “Acts of God”;
-
Postal or courier service did not meet delivery time promised to the bidder/offeror.
In such a case, the bidder/offeror must provide written proof from the delivery service that promised delivery time was prior to the time set for the opening of bids/proposals;
- Evidence that the bid/proposal was in the division’s post office box or physical possession before the time of bid opening; or 5. Any other evidence relevant to the specific situation.
(D) Bids/Proposals received in response to a procurement will be disclosed in accordance with Missouri law.
(E) Bidders or Offerors who improperly obtain information concerning a competitor’s bid or proposal may be disqualified for consideration for a contract award.
(F) After the bid/proposal opening, a bidder/offeror may be permitted to withdraw a bid/proposal prior to award at the sole discretion of the division if there is a verifiable error in the bid/proposal, the bidder/offeror is unable to meet the commitments contained in the bid/proposal, or if enforcement of the bid would impose an unconscionable hardship on the bidder/offeror. This withdrawal will be considered only after receipt of a written request and supporting documentation from the bidder/offeror. Withdrawal is the bidder/offeror’s sole remedy for an error other than an obvious clerical error. Withdrawal of a bid/proposal may result in forfeiture of the bid/proposal security.
(7) When the supplies meet the criteria delineated in section 34.044, RSMo, the division may elect to utilize the Single Feasible Source procurement method. The following delineates additional guidelines and examples to determine satisfaction of the criteria:
(A) The following guidelines may be utilized to determine if supplies may be purchased as a single feasible source due to being proprietary, although the following list is not intended to be exhaustive:
-
The parts are specified to maintain validity of a warranty;
-
Additions to a system must be compatible with original equipment;
-
Only one (1) type of computer software exists for a specific application;
-
Factory authorized maintenance is specified in order to maintain validity of a warranty;
-
The materials are copyrighted and are only available from the publisher or a single distributor; and 6. The services of a particular provider are unique (e.g., entertainers, authors, etc.);
(B) If past procurement activity indicates that only one (1) bid has been submitted in a particular region, a single feasible source procurement may be authorized. In these situations the division will monitor the market for developing competition;
(C) The following guidelines will be utilized to determine if supplies may be purchased as a single feasible source due to being available at a discount for a limited period of time:
- The discounted price must be compared to a price established through a reasonable market analysis (i.e., competitive solicitation for the same item under similar circumstances); and 2. The discounted price should normally be at least ten percent (10%) less than the current contract or other comparable price. A discount of less than ten percent (10%) may be acceptable under appropriate market conditions. The discount should be compared to a price which, where feasible, should be no more than twelve (12) months old; and (D) A vendor shall notify the division if, in his or her opinion, there is another feasible source for the supplies. Such notification shall be received by the division within the advertising requirement stated in section 34.044, RSMo. The Division will review the notification and its decision is final.
(8) When conditions meet the criteria outlined in section 34.045, RSMo, emergency procurement procedures may be utilized.
The requirement for formal competitive bids or proposals may be waived. However, the emergency procurement should be made with as much informal bidding as practicable.
Emergency procedures should only be utilized to purchase those supplies which are necessary to alleviate the emergency.
(9) When circumstances dictate that it would be most advantageous, the state may purchase supplies from, or in cooperation with, another governmental entity pursuant to section 34.046, RSMo.
(A) Supplies purchased from another governmental entity should be limited to those supplies which are provided directly by such entity.
(B) Supplies purchased in cooperation with another governmental entity may be purchased based on contracts established in accordance with that entity’s laws and regulations.
(10) Regardless of the solicitation method utilized, the following procedures apply:
(A) The division will develop standardized terms and conditions to be included with the solicitation documents;
(B) The division may request bids/proposals for new, used, rebuilt, or remanufactured equipment employing the trade-in of used equipment. The solicitation document may request pricing with a trade-in and without a trade-in;
(C) The division may require bid/proposal security and/or performance security.
-
The acceptable form and amount of the bid/proposal security will be stipulated in the solicitation document.
-
The bid/proposal securities of unsuccessful bidders/offerors may be returned after the finalization of the award. If the successful bidder/offeror fails to accept the contract, the amount of the bid/proposal security may be forfeited to the state.
-
If a performance security is specified in the solicitation, the bid/proposal security of the successful bidder/offeror may be returned after the receipt of the performance security. The acceptable form and amount of the performance security will be stipulated in the solicitation document. If the contractor fails to submit the performance security, the bid/proposal security may be forfeited to the state and the contract voided;
(D) In the event that the division receives a container which is not identifiable as a specific bid/proposal, an authorized person within the division may open the container to determine the contents. If the contents are determined to be a bid/proposal, the container will be resealed and the solicitation number, opening date, and time will be noted on the outside. The container will then be filed until the official time for opening;
(E) After the bid/proposal opening, a bidder/offeror may be permitted to withdraw a bid/proposal prior to award at the sole discretion of the division if there is a verifiable error in the bid/proposal and enforcement of the bid would impose an unconscionable hardship on the bidder/offeror. This withdrawal will be considered only after receipt of a written request and supporting documentation from the bidder/offeror. Withdrawal shall be the bidder/offeror’s sole remedy for an error other than an obvious clerical error.
Withdrawal of a bid/proposal may result in forfeiture of the bid/proposal security;
(F) In accordance with section 34.353, RSMo, for bids/proposals with a value of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) or more, bidders/offerors who can certify that goods or commodities to be provided in accordance with the contract are manufactured or produced in the United States or imported in accordance with a qualifying treaty, law, agreement, or regulation are entitled to a ten percent (10%) preference as stated below over a bidder/offeror whose products do not qualify. Failure to provide a certification may result in forfeiture of any preference. All solicitation responses for the purchase of goods or commodities, except software, with an estimated value of twentyfive thousand dollars ($25,000) or more must include proof of compliance requirements as stated in the solicitation document. If the division has any questions regarding either the information submitted on the form or the lack of a submitted form by a bidder/offeror, the division may contact the bidder/offeror for clarification before completing the cost evaluation if under consideration for award. If the division determines that an Americanmade product is competing against a foreignmade product, the division will multiply the cost of the foreign-made product by ten percent (10%) and add this amount to the actual cost of the bid/proposal to reflect the Buy American preference in the cost evaluation.
The division will consider any applicable exceptions, including those set by statute or executive order, to the Buy American preference before awarding any contract;
(G) In addition to cost, subjective and any other criteria deemed in the best interest of the state may be utilized in the evaluation of bids/proposals provided that the criteria are published in the solicitation document;
(H) The division may request samples for evaluation purposes. Any samples requested must be provided free of charge. Samples which are not destroyed by testing will be returned at the bidder/offeror’s expense if return of the samples is stipulated in the bidder/offeror’s bid/proposal. Samples submitted by a bidder/offeror who receives the award may be kept for the duration of the contract for comparison with shipments received;
(I) During the course of a solicitation, a demonstration may be permitted to allow bidders/offerors to demonstrate proposed products or services. The division will coordinate such a demonstration;
(J) When bids/proposals are equal in all respects, any preferences will be applied in accordance with applicable statute. If all such bidder/offerors or none qualify for the statutory preference, the contract shall be awarded by a formal drawing of lot. Whenever practical, the drawing will be held in the presence of the bidders/offerors who are considered equal. If this is not practical, the drawing will be witnessed by at least two (2) disinterested persons;
(K) The division may make multiple awards from a single solicitation document when such awards are in the best interest of the state;
(L) After an award is made, the solicitation file or facsimile thereof will be made available to the public for inspection via the Internet;
(M) Neither a contractor nor a state agency shall assign any interest in a contract to another party without written permission from the division;
(N) Unless otherwise specified in the contract, substitution of items, personnel, or services shall require the approval of the division prior to shipment or performance;
(O) Employees of the division, evaluators, and any other persons involved in procurement decisions shall not accept for personal benefit gifts, meals, trips, or any other thing of significant value or of a monetary advantage, directly or indirectly, from a vendor;
(P) Bidders/offerors on a list of individuals, entities, and contractors excluded from federal procurement and sales programs, non-procurement programs, and financial and non-financial benefits as provided by the General Services Administration (GSA) are precluded from contracting with the state when the procurement involves federal funds.
(11) Contracts awarded as the result of a competitive solicitation may be amended when such an amendment is in the best interest of the state and does not significantly alter the original intent or scope of the contract.
(12) A bid or proposal award protest must be submitted in writing to the director or designee and received by the division within ten (10) state business days after the date of award. A protest submitted after the ten (10) state business-day period shall not be considered. The written protest should include the following information:
(A) Name, address, and phone number of the protester;
(B) Signature of the protester or the protester’s representative;
(C) Solicitation number;
(D) Detailed statement describing the grounds for the protest; and (E) Supporting exhibits, evidence, or documents to substantiate claim.
A protest which fails to contain the information listed above may be denied solely on that
basis. All protests filed in a timely manner will be reviewed by the director or designee.
The director or designee will only issue a determination on the issues asserted in the protest. A protest, which is untimely or fails to establish standing to protest, will be summarily denied. In other cases, the determination will contain findings of fact, an analysis of the protest, and a conclusion that the protest will either be sustained or denied. If the protest is sustained, remedies include canceling the award. If the protest is denied, no further action will be taken by the division.
(13) Section 34.165, RSMo, provides for a five to fifteen (5–15) point bonus on bids/proposals submitted by qualified nonprofit organizations for the blind and qualified sheltered workshops, if the participating organization provides, at a minimum, the greater of two percent (2%) or five thousand dollars ($5,000) of the total contract value of bids/proposals for a purchase not exceeding ten (10) million dollars.
(A) The bonus points can apply if the bidder/offeror is a qualified organization for the blind or sheltered workshop or if the bidder/offeror is subcontracting with an organization for the blind or sheltered workshop.
(B) Supplies provided by an organization for the blind or sheltered workshop must provide a commercially useful function that offers added value to a contract. Supplies shall be provided exclusive to the performance of a contract, and the organization’s obligation outside of a state contract shall not be considered an added value. Services or supplies to be provided by an organization that are outside the usual and customary business of the organization may be considered not to offer added value.
(C) The bonus shall not apply if the solicitation is for a no-cost option to the state.
(D) The bidder/offeror shall submit documents as specified by the solicitation that: 1) describes the products or services the organization for the blind or sheltered workshop will provide and the percentage or dollar level of the participation which must meet or exceed the minimum participation amount specified in section 34.165, RSMo; 2) indicates the organization for the blind and sheltered workshop’s commitment to aid the bidder/offeror in the performance of the required services and the provision of the required products; 3) provides evidence of the organization for the blind and sheltered workshop qualifications such as a copy of the certification or certification number; and 4) includes affirmation from each organization for the blind and sheltered workshop that it is willing to participate in the contract in the kind and amount of work provided in the bidder/offeror’s response.
(E) If all requirements are met, the bidder/offeror shall receive a five to fifteen (5– 15) point bonus to a bid/proposal meeting specifications or bid/proposal that includes subjective or other criteria deemed in the best interest of the state and provided in the solicitation document.
-
A sliding scale for the award of points shall range from a minimum of five (5) points to a maximum of fifteen (15) points. The award of the minimum five (5) points shall be based on the bid/proposal containing a commitment that the participating nonprofit organization or workshop is providing the greater of two percent (2%) or five thousand dollars ($5,000) of the total contract value of bids for purchase not exceeding ten (10) million dollars.
-
Where the commitment in the bid/proposal exceeds the minimum level set forth in section 34.165 to obtain five (5) points, the awarded points shall exceed the minimum five (5) points, up to a maximum of fifteen (15) points. The formula to determine the awarded points for commitments above the two percent (2%) minimum shall be calculated based on the commitment in the bid/proposal (expressed as a number, not as a percentage) times two and one-half (2.5) points:
Vendor’s Commitment Number x 2.5 points = Awarded Points Examples: A commitment of 3% would be calculated as: 3 x 2.5 points = 7.5 awarded points. A commitment of 5.5% would be calculated as: 5.5 x 2.5 points = 13.75 awarded points. If an offeror’s bid/proposal lists a dollar figure, instead of a percentage, that is over the minimum amount, the dollar figure shall be converted into the percentage of the offeror’s total contract value for calculation of the awarded points. Commitments at or above six percent (6%) receive the maximum of fifteen (15) points.
(F) If the bid/proposal is awarded, the percentage or dollar level of the organization for the blind or sheltered workshop participation committed to by the bidder/offeror in required documentation is a binding contractual requirement.
(G) For procurements which utilize the award criteria of low bid meeting specifications, the following procedure will be followed in applying this preference:
-
If the low priced bidder qualifies for the preference, no further calculation is necessary;
-
If a bidder that qualifies for the preference is not low bid, the division will convert the pricing to a point comparison as outlined in the solicitation;
-
For procurements that utilize a combination of cost and subjective criteria for evaluation and award recommendation, ten (10) bonus points will be added to the evaluation points for any preference qualified bidders/offerors; and 4. The bidder/offeror with the most total points is recommended for contract award.
(H) Once a contract is awarded, a contractor shall submit on or before the fifteenth of the month immediately following the reporting period, unless another timeframe is made a report detailing all payments it made to all organizations for the blind and sheltered workshops participating in the contract. This is not required if the organization for the blind or sheltered workshop is acting as a prime contractor. However, it may be required if the prime contractor is also using other subcontractors to meet the goals outlined in the contract. The report shall be submitted to the division on a division form. The division may waive this reporting requirement at any time for good cause.
-
No dollar value of work performed under a contract by an organization for the blind and sheltered workshop after it has ceased to be certified can be counted.
-
The participation of a sheltered workshop on a contract cannot be counted until the amount being counted has actually been paid to the organization for the blind and sheltered workshop.
(I) An organization for the blind and sheltered workshop participation will be credited by the division only for the value of the work actually performed by the entity toward the division individual contract percentage or dollar level, including cost of supplies and materials obtained or leased by the entity.
The total dollar value of the work granted to the entity by the prime contractor is counted toward the applicable contract requirement.
When counting an entity for the organization for the blind and sheltered workshop participation, the division will consider the following:
- A contractor’s entire expenditure to be paid to an organization for the blind and sheltered workshop supplier or manufacturer for material furnished which becomes a permanent part of the contract work. For the
purpose of this regulation, a manufacturer is defined as an individual or firm that produces goods from raw materials or substantially alters them before resale and is a qualified organization for the blind and sheltered workshop;
- By counting the work an organization for the blind and sheltered workshop contractor commits to perform with its own labor as well as the work that it commits to perform with organization for the blind and sheltered workshop subcontractors and suppliers; and 3. When an organization for the blind and sheltered workshop performs as a participant in a joint venture, only the portion of work of the contract that the organization for the blind and sheltered workshop performs with its own forces shall count toward individual contract percentages or dollar levels.
(J) If a participating entity is unable to satisfactorily perform its organization for the blind and sheltered workshop participation level, or if there are other reasons the contractor needs to replace an entity, the contractor must obtain written approval from the division prior to replacing the entity. If approved, the contractor must obtain other participation in compliance with its original commitment as approved by the division. The division’s approval will not be arbitrarily withheld. If the contractor cannot obtain a replacement, it may apply to the division for a participation waiver by providing documentation detailing all efforts made to secure a replacement and a good cause statement establishing why the participation level cannot be obtained. If the contractor has met its burden of proof, the division may grant a waiver for good cause.
(K) If the contractor’s participation level or payment to a participating organization for the blind and sheltered workshop entity is less than the amount committed, and no waiver for good cause has been obtained, the division may cancel the contract and/or suspend or debar the contractor from participating in future state procurements or withhold payment to the contractor in an equal amount to the value of the participating commitment less actual payments made by the contractor to the participating entity. If the division determines that a contractor has become compliant with the commitment amount, any withheld funds will be released.
(L) At the time of contract renewal, a contractor must verify it is meeting its participation level and required payment to all organi zations for the blind and sheltered workshop entities, or the contractor must submit a statement of when such blind and sheltered participation is scheduled to occur.
If the contractor is not meeting said requirements, the contract renewal may not be processed unless and until said requirements are satisfactorily met, a cure plan is approved, the statement is accepted by the division, or a waiver for good cause is obtained from the (14) The division will encourage participation in the procurement process and fairness in consideration of bids/proposals submitted by Missouri Service-Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises (SDVEs). Programs/procedures designed to accomplish these objectives may include inclusion of SDVE subcontractor goals in solicitation documents; close review of requirements for bonding; notice of procurement opportunities on the division’s website; access to bid history and pricing abstracts on the division’s website; access to the division’s procurement staff; utilization of service-disabled personnel on evaluation committees, if available; etc.
(A) The Office of Administration will compile, maintain, and make available a listing of SDVEs to all bidders/offerors and contractors on an Office of Administration website. The listing may include the following: name; address; contact information of SDVE; the general area of commodities or services it provides; etc. The Office of Administration will also maintain statistics and issue periodic reports about SDVE participation.
(B) The following expenditures may be counted toward meeting established SDVE goals:
-
The total dollar value of a contract awarded to an SDVE;
-
The total dollars paid by a prime contractor to an SDVE for supplies and materials provided to the state in fulfillment of the contract;
-
The total dollar value of work subcontracted to an SDVE by a prime contractor;
-
That portion of the total dollar value subcontracted to a joint venture by a prime contractor equal to the percentage of the ownership and control of the SDVE partner in the joint venture.
(C) Section 34.074, RSMo, established a goal of awarding three percent (3%) of all contract value to service-disabled veteran businesses.
(D) The following standards are used by the Office of Administration in determining whether an individual, business, or organization is eligible to be listed as a Service-Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (SDVE):
-
Doing business as a Missouri firm, corporation, or individual or maintaining a Missouri office or place of business, not including an office of a registered agent;
-
Having not less than fifty-one percent (51%) of the business owned by one (1) or more service-disabled veterans (SDVs) or, in the case of any publicly-owned business, not less than fifty-one percent (51%) of the stock of which is owned by one (1) or more SDVs;
-
Having the management and daily business operations controlled by one (1) or more SDVs;
-
Having a copy of the SDV’s Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty (DD Form 214), and a disability rating letter issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs establishing a service connected disability rating, or a Department of Defense determination of service connected disability, unless the SDVE is listed with the Office of Administration on its website as previously certified in which case said documentation is not required;
-
The SDV(s) possesses the power to make day-to-day as well as major decisions on matters of management, policy, and operation;
-
All SDVE listings and renewals are effective for a period not to exceed three (3) years, unless otherwise found inapplicable;
-
If it has been determined that the SDVE at any time no longer meets the requirements stated above, it is removed from the listing.
(E) If the bidder/offeror meets the requirement of an SDVE, the bidder/offeror will receive the Missouri service-disabled veteran business preference of a three- (3-) point bonus on bids/proposals for the performance of any job or service, except for a no cost contract and any other exception provided for in this regulation as approved by the director.
(F) The three percent (3%) goal can be met, and the bonus points obtained, by a qualified SDVE vendor and/or through the use of qualified subcontractors or suppliers that provide at least three percent (3%) of the total contract value.
(G) An SDVE must provide a commercially useful function that offers added value to a contract.
(H) If a bidder/offeror is proposing SDVE vendor participation, it must provide to the division all documents specified by the solicitation including:
-
Complete information as specified by the solicitation document including a list of each proposed SDVE vendor, the committed percentage of participation for each SDVE with the corresponding dollar amount of the participation of each SDVE, and the commercially useful supplies to be provided by each listed SDVE. If the bidder/offeror is a listed SDVE vendor, then the bidder/offeror must also list itself;
-
A copy of the SDVE’s certification as a SDVE unless the SDVE is listed with the Office of Administration on its website as previously certified in which case said documentation is not required; and 3. Written documentation as specified in the solicitation from each listed SDVE that it is willing to participate in the contract in the kind and amount of work provided in the bidder/offeror’s response.
(I) If the bid/proposal is awarded, the percentage level of the SDVE participation committed to by the bidder/offeror in required documentation is a binding contractual requirement.
(J) If the solicitation will not include subjective criteria, the division will convert the pricing to a point comparison as outlined in the solicitation and add the bonus points to the cost points calculated. If the solicitation will include subjective criteria, the division must include the SDVE requirements in the solicitation document, except when a solicitation is for a no cost contract. Any other exception must be approved at the discretion of the director.
(K) Once a contract is awarded, a contractor shall submit on or before the fifteenth of the month immediately following the reporting period, unless another timeframe is made a report detailing all payments it made immediately following the reporting period to all SDVEs participating in the contract. The report shall be submitted to the division on a division form.
-
No dollar value of work performed under a contract with a firm after it has ceased to be certified can be counted toward the SDVE overall goal.
-
The participation of an SDVE subcontractor toward a contractor’s final compliance with its SDVE obligations on a contract cannot be counted until the amount being counted has actually been paid to the SDVE.
(L) SDVE participation will be credited by the division only for the value of the work actually performed by the SDVE toward the individual contract percentage, including cost of supplies and materials obtained or leased by the SDVE. The total dollar value of the work awarded to the SDVE by the prime contractor is counted toward the contract goal.
When counting SDVE participation, the division may consider the following:
-
A contractor’s entire expenditure to be paid to an SDVE supplier or manufacturer for material or services furnished which becomes a permanent part of the contract work. For the purpose of this regulation, a manufacturer shall be defined as an individual or firm that produces goods from raw materials or substantially alters them before resale;
-
By counting the work an SDVE contractor commits to perform with its own labor as well as the work that it commits to perform with SDVE subcontractors and suppliers; and 3. When an SDVE performs as a participant in a joint venture, only the portion of work of the contract that the SDVE performs with its own forces will count toward SDVE individual contract percentages.
(M) If a contractor is unable to satisfactorily meet its SDVE contractual commitment, or if there are other reasons the vendor needs to replace an SDVE, the contractor must replace the business per the terms of the contract. If the contractor cannot obtain a replacement per the terms of the contract, it may apply to the division for a participation waiver by providing documentation detailing all efforts made to secure a replacement and a good cause statement establishing why the participation level cannot be obtained. If the contractor has met its burden of proof, the division may grant a waiver of the contractual obligation for good cause.
(N) If the contractor’s payment to a committed SDVE is less than the amount committed, and no waiver of the contractual obligation for good cause has been obtained, the state may cancel the contract and/or suspend or debar the contractor from participating in future state procurements or withhold payment to the contractor in an equal amount to the value of the participating commitment less actual payments made by the contractor to the participating business. If the division determines that a contractor has become compliant with the commitment amount, any withheld funds will be released.
(O) At the time of contract renewal, a contractor must verify it is meeting its participation level and required payment to all SDVEs, or the contractor must submit a statement of when such SDVE participation is scheduled to occur. If the contractor is not meeting said requirements, the contract renewal may not be processed unless and until said requirements are satisfactorily met, a cure plan is approved, the statement is accepted by the division, or a waiver for good cause is obtained from the division.
(15) The division director or designee will evaluate each recommendation in conjunction with each agency designee. The division will either accept or reject each recommendation or request additional clarification from each evaluation team.
(16) For solicitations using weighted criteria evaluations, the evaluation criteria and point assessment assigned to each criterion, as well as the award process, will be specified in the solicitation documents. The point assessment assigned to each evaluation criteria will not be changed after the final end date and time for submission of the initial bids/responses has passed. The division will consult with the applicable agency to determine which criteria are most important. Points assigned to cost do not have to be fifty percent (50%) or more of the assigned points.
(17) Any clerical error, apparent on its face, may be corrected by the division before contract award. Upon discovery of an apparent clerical error, the division will contact the bidder/offeror to request clarification of the intended bid/proposal and the correction will be incorporated in the notice of award, if applicable. Examples of apparent clerical errors are misplacement of a decimal point and obvious mistake in designation unit.
(18) Minor technicalities or irregularities in bid/proposals can be waived by the division if the waiver does not create a competitive advantage for any bidder/offeror. Such waiver is appropriate for a condition that does not conform with a mandatory requirement of the solicitation document, and therefore could otherwise be considered non-responsive, but is so minor in nature, or cannot otherwise be met by all bidders/offerors, that to determine non-responsiveness could be considered unreasonable and would not be to the state’s advantage.
(19) The division has the right to request clarification of any portion of the bidder/offeror’s response in order to verify the intent of the bidder/offeror.
(20) When evaluating a bid/proposal, the division has the right to consider relevant information and fact, whether gained from a bid/proposal response, from a bidder/offeror, from a bidder/offeror’s references, or from any other source. Any information submitted with a bid/proposal response, regardless of the format or placement of such information, may be considered in making decisions related to the responsiveness and merit of a bid/proposal and the award of a contract.
(21) Awards are to be made to the bidder/offeror whose bid/proposal complies with— (A) All mandatory specifications and requirements of the bid/proposal;
(B) Is the lowest and best bid/proposal in accordance with the evaluation methodology outlined in the bid/proposal; and (C) Complies with Chapter 34, RSMo, other applicable Missouri statutes, and all applicable Executive Orders.
(22) With regard to competitive negotiation procurements, the basic steps of the evaluation should generally include the following:
(A) Proposals are reviewed for non-responsiveness (non-compliance) with mandatory requirements in the solicitation document. In conjunction with the evaluation committee, if applicable, the division will obtain any clarifications to a response necessary to make a determination of compliance or non-responsiveness. A proposal which contains nonresponsiveness issues which could never be expected to be brought into compliance, even if given an opportunity for competitive negotiations, is considered unacceptable or nonresponsive and eliminated from further consideration in the evaluation. Proposals with non-responsiveness issues which could be corrected during competitive negotiations, if conducted, are considered potentially acceptable and remain in the evaluation process until a decision is made in regard to competitive negotiations. If competitive negotiations are not conducted, proposals with nonresponsiveness issues are considered nonresponsive and are eliminated from further consideration in the evaluation. If competitive negotiations are conducted, the non-responsiveness issues are identified as deficiencies in the best and final offer request;
(B) Unless shortlisting of proposals has been determined to be appropriate, when competitive negotiations are necessary regarding the Request for Proposal, the division will request a written best and final offer (BAFO) from each potentially acceptable offeror. Although not required, the BAFO letter should identify all proposal deficiencies that may make the proposal unacceptable.
The BAFO request letter should provide the offeror the opportunity to reconsider any other aspect of its proposal, including pricing. All offerors will be given the same amount of time to respond to the BAFO request, but the issuance of a request letter does not necessarily have to be simultaneous.
- Negotiations may be conducted with only a shortlist of offerors who have submitted proposals if the solicitation permits shortlisting and if the solicitation identifies the method by which the shortlist of offerors will be determined. Shortlisting may also be used to limit the number of offerors demonstrating their products or solutions, or having their products or solutions examined or tested by the agency. Even if shortlisting is permitted, negotiations may still be conducted with all potentially acceptable offerors;
(C) Request for Proposal revisions may be permitted for the purpose of obtaining best and final offers and making changes to the proposal that are in the best interest of the state;
(D) The division may issue more than one (1) round of negotiations via the BAFO process; and (E) When conducting competitive negotiations, there shall be no disclosure of any information submitted by competing offerors.
(23) The division will encourage participation in the procurement process and fairness in consideration of bids/proposals submitted by Minority Business Enterprises (MBEs) and Women’s Business Enterprises (WBEs).
Programs/procedures designed to accomplish these objectives may include: inclusion of M/WBE requirements in solicitation documents, close review of requirements for bonding, experience and insurance requirements, contract unbundling, targeted notice of procurement opportunities, utilization of minority and women personnel on evaluation committees, if available, etc.
(A) Percentage Requirements and Compliance. Executive Order 15-06 states that the State of Missouri’s Annual Aspirational Program Goals for Minority- and Women- Business Enterprises (M/WBE) are both ten percent (10%) of all state annual procurement funds expended by executive branch agencies.
These goals are a benchmark by which M/WBE opportunities to participate in state procurement are monitored and evaluated.
These ten percent (10%) goals do not authorize or require the division to set M/WBE individual contract percentages at the ten percent (10%) level, or any other particular level, or to take any special administrative steps if the percentages are above or below ten percent (10%).
-
The division may use individual contract percentages to help meet the State’s Annual Aspirational Program Goals. The division may establish individual contract percentages, with support from the Office of Equal Opportunity (OEO). The division may set each contract percentage by reviewing the type of goods or services being procured, elements of work to be performed, time frame, and geographical location, history of M/WBE and non-M/WBE usage, and availability of ready, willing, and able M/WBEs certified by OEO. The percentages will be expressed in the bid document as a percentage of the total contract value. Individual contract percentages may be set higher than the State’s Annual Aspirational Program Goals where availability of M/WBEs has been demonstrated to be higher. Likewise, individual contract percentages may be set lower in areas where availability of M/WBEs has been demonstrated to be lower.
-
Bidders/Offerors must, in order to be responsive, make sufficient good faith efforts to meet M/WBE contract percentages. The bidder/offeror can meet the individual contract percentages in either one (1) of two (2)
ways. First, the bidder/offeror can meet the percentages through documenting commitments for participation by M/WBEs sufficient to meet the M/WBE contract percentages. Second, the bidder/offeror can document adequate good faith efforts pursuant to subsection (23)(I) by demonstrating the bidder/offeror took all necessary and reasonable steps to achieve the M/WBE contract percentages, but was unable to achieve it.
(B) M/WBE individual contract percentages can be met by a qualified M/WBE vendor and/or through the use of qualified M/WBE subcontractors, suppliers, joint ventures, or other arrangements that afford meaningful opportunities for M/WBE participation. The M/WBE vendor shall be certified by OEO on the opening date of a bid/proposal. If an M/WBE vendor’s certification has expired or otherwise ended, but the vendor had submitted its renewal application or other supporting documents to OEO prior to the bid/proposal opening and certification is reinstated prior to contract award, then the M/WBE vendor shall be considered qualified.
(C) Supplies provided by M/WBE vendors must provide a commercially useful function that provides added value to a contract. Supplies shall be provided exclusive to the performance of a contract, and an M/WBE vendor’s obligation outside of a state contract shall not be considered an added value to the contract.
(D) M/WBE Participation Computed.
M/WBE participation will be credited by the division only for the value of the work actually performed by the M/WBE toward the division individual contract percentage, including cost of supplies and materials obtained or leased by the M/WBE. The total dollar value of the work granted to the M/WBE by the prime contractor is counted toward the applicable goal of the entire contract. When counting M/WBE participation, the division may consider the following:
- A contractor’s entire expenditure to be paid to an M/WBE supplier or manufacturer for supplies furnished which becomes a permanent part of the contract work. For the
purpose of this regulation, a manufacturer is defined as an individual or firm that produces goods from raw materials or substantially alters them before resale and is an OEO certified M/WBE;
- By counting the work an M/WBE contractor commits to perform with its own labor as well as the work that it commits to perform with M/WBE subcontractors and suppliers; and 3. When an M/WBE performs as a participant in a joint venture, only the portion of work of the contract that the M/WBE performs with its own forces shall count toward M/WBE individual contract percentages.
(E) If a bidder/offeror is proposing M/WBE vendor participation it must provide to the division all documents specified by the solicitation, which may include:
-
Bid/proposal forms outlining the name, address, and telephone number of each and the M/WBE commitment percentage with the corresponding dollar amount of the participation of each M/WBE;
-
Bid/proposal forms outlining M/WBE participation and a description of what services or supplies the vendor will supply;
-
M/WBE vendor certification number or copy of certification issued by OEO; and 4. Written documentation as required in the solicitation from each listed M/WBE that it is willing to participate in the contract in the kind and amount of work provided in the bidder/offeror’s response.
(F) If the bidder/offeror’s bid/proposal is awarded, the percentage level of the M/WBE vendor participation committed to by the bidder/offeror is a binding contractual requirement.
(G) A bidder/offeror that is certified as both an MBE and WBE can meet both MBE and WBE individual contract percentages as long as the bidder/offeror is performing at least the total of the target MBE and WBE percentage of the contract value.
(H) If the solicitation will not include subjective criteria, the division is not required to address M/WBE contract percentages in the solicitation. If the solicitation will include subjective criteria, the division must include the M/WBE individual contract percentages in the solicitation document, except when a solicitation is for a no cost contract. Any other exception must be approved at the discretion of the director.
(I) Good Faith Waiver. A bidder/offeror is required to make a good faith effort to locate and contract with M/WBEs. If a bidder/offeror has made a good faith effort to secure the required M/WBE participation and has failed, the bidder/offeror may submit with its bid proposal the information requested on forms provided with the bid documents. The division will review the bidder/offeror’s actions as set forth in the bidder/offeror’s submittal documents and other factors deemed relevant by the division, to determine if a good faith effort has been made to meet the applicable contract percentages. If the bidder/offeror is judged not to have made a good faith effort, the bid will be rejected.
-
Bidders/offerors who demonstrate that they have made a good faith effort to include M/WBE participation will not have their bids/proposals rejected regardless of the percent of M/WBE participation, provided the bids/proposals are otherwise acceptable.
-
In reaching a determination of good faith, the director may evaluate, but is not limited to, the following factors:
A. The efforts to develop and sustain a working relationship with M/WBEs, including attending pre-bid conferences and matchmaking meetings and events;
B. The bidder’s/offeror’s efforts and methods to provide M/WBEs with full sets of plans, specifications, or appropriate information in a timely manner to assist the M/WBE in responding to the bidder’s/offeror’s solicitation. This could include conducting market research to identify M/WBEs, and providing emails or written notices to relevant OEO certified M/WBEs listed in OEO’s directory, and which are located in the applicable area or surrounding areas as early in the acquisition process as practicable;
C. The bidder’s/offeror’s efforts to make initial contact with at least three (3) relevant OEO-certified M/WBEs, its follow-up with the contacted M/WBEs, and whether the bidder/offeror received a proposal from a certified M/WBE for the relevant categories of work;
D. The bidder’s/offeror’s efforts to assist interested M/WBEs in obtaining bonding, lines of credit, or insurance as required by the division, or the efforts made to assist in obtaining necessary equipment, supplies, materials, or related assistance or services;
E. The extent to which the bidder/offeror divides work into projects suitable for subcontracting to M/WBEs, including, where appropriate, breaking out contract work items into economically feasible units, for example, smaller tasks or quantities to facilitate M/WBE participation, even when the bidder/offeror might otherwise prefer to perform the work with its own forces. Prime contractors are not, however, required to accept higher quotes from M/WBEs if the price difference is excessive or unreasonable, but the fact that there may be some additional costs involved in finding and using M/WBEs is not in itself sufficient reason for a bidder’s/offeror’s failure to meet the individual contract M/WBE percentages, as long as such costs are reasonable;
F. The bidder’s/offeror’s ability to provide sufficient evidence in the form of documentation that supports the information provided;
G. Actual past participation of M/WBEs achieved by the bidder/offeror with contracts established by the division;
H. The reasons provided by the bidder/offeror for the inability to reach the individual contract percentages, and the ability of other bidders/offerors to meet the percentages, if applicable;
I. An insufficient good faith effort is the rejection of an M/WBE because its quotation for the work was not the lowest received. However, as noted above, a bidder/offeror is not required to accept an excessive or unreasonable quote in order to satisfy contract percentages; and J. When a non-M/WBE subcontractor is selected over an M/WBE subcontractor, the division may require the bidder/offeror to submit copies of each M/WBE and non- M/WBE subcontractor quote to review whether the M/WBE prices were substantially higher; and the division may contact the M/WBE subcontractor to inquire as to whether the firm was contacted by the prime bidder/offeror. Pro forma mailings to M/WBEs requesting bids are not alone sufficient to satisfy good faith efforts.
(J) Once a contract is awarded, a contractor shall submit on or before each fifteenth of the month, unless another timeframe is made, a report detailing all payments it made immediately following the reporting period to all M/WBEs participating in the contract.
The report shall be submitted to the division on a division form. The division may waive this reporting requirement at any time for good cause. The amounts submitted may be verified by the division, OEO, or the Contract Oversight Office.
-
No dollar value of work performed under a contract with a firm after it has ceased to be certified can be counted toward the M/WBE overall goal.
-
The participation of a M/WBE subcontractor toward a contractor’s final compliance with its M/WBE obligations on a contract cannot be counted until the amount being counted has actually been paid to the M/WBE.
(K) The director will maintain records identifying and assessing the contractor’s progress in achieving and maintaining M/WBE contract percentages. These records should show— 1. The amount and nature of awards made by the contractor to M/WBE vendors/suppliers/manufacturers; and 2. Monthly reports from the contractor on its progress in meeting M/WBE percentages, unless a different interval for reporting has been approved.
(L) Termination or Substitution of an M/WBE. If an M/WBE is unable to satisfactorily perform its participation level, or if there are other reasons the contractor needs to replace an M/WBE, the contractor for good cause can obtain written approval from the division prior to replacing the entity.
-
Before a contractor transmits to the division its request to terminate and/or substitute an M/WBE, the contractor must give notice in writing to the M/WBE subcontractor, with a copy to OEO and the division, of its intent to request to terminate and/or substitute, and the reason for the request. The contractor must give the M/WBE five (5) business days to respond to the contractor’s notice and advise the OEO and the division and the contractor of the reasons, if any, why it objects to the proposed termination of its subcontract and why OEO and the division should not approve the contractor’s action. If required in a particular case as a matter of public necessity (e.g., safety), the contractor may reduce or waive the response period as approved by the division.
-
For purposes of this subsection, good cause for approval of a request for termination or substitution for an M/WBE includes, but is not limited to, the following:
A. The listed M/WBE subcontractor fails or refuses to execute a written contract;
B. The listed M/WBE fails or refused to perform the work of its subcontract in a way consistent with normal industry standards, provided, however, that good cause does not exist if the failure or refusal by the M/WBE subcontractor to perform its work on the subcontract resulted from the bad faith or discriminatory action of the prime contractor;
C. The listed M/WBE subcontractor fails or refuses to meet the prime contractor’s reasonable, nondiscriminatory bond requirements;
D. The listed M/WBE subcontractor becomes bankrupt, insolvent, or exhibits credit unworthiness;
E. The listed M/WBE subcontractor is ineligible to work on projects because of suspension or debarment proceedings;
F. The listed M/WBE subcontractor is not a responsible contractor as determined by the division;
G. The listed M/WBE subcontractor voluntarily withdraws from the project and provides the prime contractor written notice of its withdrawal, or the withdrawal is otherwise confirmed by the division;
H. The listed M/WBE subcontractor is ineligible to receive M/WBE credit for the type of work required;
I. The listed M/WBE subcontractor owner dies or becomes disabled with the result that a listed M/WBE prime contractor is unable to complete its work on the contract; and J. Other documented good cause that the division determines compels the termination of an M/WBE subcontractor. But good cause does not exist if the prime contractor seeks to terminate an M/WBE it relied upon to obtain the contract so that the prime contractor can self-perform the work for which the M/WBE subcontractor was engaged or so that the prime contractor can substitute another M/WBE or non-M/WBE after contract award without good cause.
-
If approved, the contractor must make good faith efforts to meet the contractual commitment to the contract goal. These good faith efforts shall be directed at finding another M/WBE to perform at least the same amount of work under the contract as the M/WBE that was terminated, to the extent needed to meet the contract goal. OEO and the division’s approval shall not be arbitrarily withheld. If the contractor cannot obtain a replacement, it may apply to the division for a participation waiver by providing documentation detailing all good faith efforts made to secure a replacement and a good cause statement establishing why the participation level cannot be obtained. If the contractor has met its burden of proof, the division, after consulting with OEO, may grant an M/WBE waiver for good cause.
-
The good faith efforts shall be documented by the contractor. If the division requests documentation under this subsection, the contractor shall submit the documentation within seven (7) business days, which may be extended for an additional seven (7) business days, if necessary, at the request of the contractor.
-
The division will provide a written determination to the contractor stating whether or not good faith efforts have been demonstrated.
(M) If the contractor’s participation level or payment to a participating M/WBE entity is less than the amount committed, and no M/WBE waiver for good cause has been obtained, the division may cancel the contract and/or suspend or debar the contractor from participating in future state procurements for a period of six (6) months or longer, up to permanent debarment, or withhold payment to the contractor in an equal amount to the value of the participating commitment less actual payments made by the contractor to the participating entity. If the division determines that a contractor has become compliant with the commitment amount, any withheld funds are to be released. Any suspension or debarment based on such noncompliance may be rescinded by the division at its discretion.
- A contractor may appeal a suspension or debarment to the commissioner by filing a written appeal no later than twenty (20) calendar days from the date on the notice of suspension or debarment issued by the division.
The suspension or debarment remains in effect pending the results of the appeal.
(N) At the time of contract renewal, a contractor must verify it is meeting its participation level and required payment to all M/WBE entities, or the contractor must submit a statement of when such M/WBE participation is scheduled to occur. If the contractor is not meeting said requirements, the contract renewal shall not be processed unless and until said requirements are satisfactorily met, a cure plan is approved, the statement is accepted by the division, or an M/WBE waiver for good cause is obtained from the (24) For a delegation of authority by the division to a state agency, the delegation will contain any restrictions on the agency’s management of the solicitation, including those related to use of weighted criteria, M/WBE participation, and competitive negotiations.
(A) A “department” as defined in section 34.010, RSMo may be delegated general procurement authority. This delegated authority may stipulate dollar limits and other limits for specific types of purchases, and list the procedures to be followed for procurements processed by the “department.”
(B) A “department” as defined in section 34.010, RSMo may be delegated authority for special types of procurements on an individual basis for a limited time period, with the written authorization listing the procedures to be followed in making such procurements.
(C) Procurements not delegated to a “department” as defined in section 34.010, RSMo are to be referred to the division for processing.
(D) The Commissioner of Administration has determined that the Department of Mental Health’s services for its patients, residents, and clients can best be purchased by the department with funds appropriated for that purpose and waives procedures of Chapter 34, RSMo, related to cost and pricing, so that the department may evaluate competitive proposals on the basis of quality and other variables exclusive of price.
(25) Commercially Useful Function. For a bid or proposal that contains a commitment to use a blind or sheltered workshop, service disabled veteran enterprise, or a minority or women business enterprise, those activities must provide a commercially useful function that offers added value to the contract.
(A) An entity performs a commercially useful function when it is responsible for executing a distinct element of the work of the contract and is carrying out its responsibilities by actually performing, managing, or supervising the work involved. To perform a commercially useful function, the entity must also be responsible, when applicable, with respect to materials and supplies used on the contract, for negotiating price, determining quality and quantity, ordering the material, installing (where applicable), and paying for the material itself. Materials and supplies shall be provided exclusive to the performance of a contract, and an entity’s obligation outside of a state contract shall not be considered an added value. Services or supplies to be provided by an entity that are outside the usual and customary business of the entity may be considered not to offer added value.
(B) To determine whether an entity is performing a commercially useful function, the division may evaluate the amount of work subcontracted, whether the amount the entity is to be paid under the contract is commensurate with the work it is actually performing and the entity’s credit claimed for its performance of the work, and other relevant factors.
(C) An entity does not perform a commercially useful function if its role is limited to that of an extra participant in a transaction, contract, or project through which funds are passed in order to obtain the appearance of participation by the entity. In determining whether an entity is such an extra participant, the division may examine similar transactions, particularly those in which such entities do not participate.
(D) If an entity does not perform or exercise responsibility for at least thirty percent (30%) of the total cost of its contract with its own work force, or the entity subcontracts a greater portion of the work of a contract than would be expected on the basis of normal industry practice for the type of work involved, the director will presume that it is not performing a commercially useful function.
(E) When an entity is presumed not to be performing a commercially useful function as provided in this rule, the entity may present evidence to rebut this presumption. The director may determine if the entity is performing a commercially useful func tion given the type of work involved and normal industry practices.
(26) Reverse Auctions. A procurement involving a reverse auction process shall include:
(A) The qualifications, if any, for the prospective vendors;
(B) The process to be followed for the reverse auction, including that of the vendors;
(C) The merchandise, supplies, raw materials, or finished goods to be procured; and (D) The evaluation criteria to determine the winning vendor, with price as the primary factor in evaluating bids. A reverse auction shall not be used for supplies covered by section 34.047, RSMo.

PURPOSE: This rule describes procedures for vendor registration, vendor notification of bidding opportunities and procedures for suspension and debarment of vendors.
(1) Any individual, business or organization may complete a vendor registration in order to be added to the official vendor data base.
It is the vendor’s sole responsibility to update their vendor registration information.
(2) A person, business, or corporation contracting with the state shall be considered as an independent contractor and shall not be considered nor represent him/herself as an employee or agency of the state. A corporation must be authorized to do business in Missouri by registering with the Office of the Secretary of State before proceeding with work under a contract unless specifically exempt pursuant to section 351.572, RSMo.
(3) The division may institute an annual fee to allow registered vendors the ability to receive automatic email notification of bidding opportunities for their selected commodity/service codes through the online registration system and the ability to submit electronic bids.
(4) Email notification and online bidding capabilities will be limited to those vendors that have properly registered and paid the annual fee, if required.
(5) The division may include contract clauses requiring the awarded contractor to issue a payment to the state or the state’s designee for a stated percentage as outlined in the contract.
(6) The director, or designee, may suspend a vendor for cause. The vendor shall be mailed a formal notice of suspension outlining the reasons for, the specific conditions of, and the effective period of the suspension. Upon completion of the suspension period it shall be the responsibility of the vendor to request reinstatement if desired. A request for reinstatement should be made in writing.
(A) Any bids/proposals submitted by the suspended vendor shall not be considered.
(B) The suspension of a vendor may be for a period of up to one hundred eighty (180) days for a first violation and for not more than a year for subsequent violation(s).
(C) The vendor may appeal suspension by submitting a written request to the director or commissioner within fourteen (14) calendar days after receipt of the formal notice. The vendor must provide specific evidence and reasons why suspension is not necessary. On the basis of this information, the suspension may be modified, rescinded, or affirmed.
The decision shall be final and mailed to all parties.
(7) The director may debar a vendor whenever, in the director’s sole discretion, it is in the best interest of the state to do so. A vendor may be debarred for a single incident of serious misconduct or after multiple less serious incidents. The director shall notify the vendor of the reason for debarment and any action the vendor must take in order to be found eligible to contract again.
(A) Any bids/proposals submitted by the debarred vendor shall not be considered.
(B) The vendor may appeal the debarment by requesting that the determination be reviewed by the commissioner of administration or the commissioner’s designee. Any request for review must be in writing and filed with the commissioner within fourteen (14) calendar days after the date of receipt of the notice of debarment. The request must set forth specific evidence and reasons why debarment should be reversed. The commissioner’s determination shall be final and shall be mailed to all parties involved.
(8) The following shall be sufficient cause for suspension or debarment. The list is not meant to be all inclusive but shall serve as a guideline for vendor discipline and business ethics— (A) Failure to perform in accordance with the terms and conditions and requirements of a contract/purchase order;
(B) Violating any federal, state, or local law, ordinance, or regulation in the performance of a contract/purchase order;
(C) Providing false or misleading information on an application, in a bid/proposal, or in correspondence to the division or a state agency;
(D) Failing to honor a bid/proposal for the length of time specified;
(E) Colluding with others to restrain competition;
(F) Obtaining information, by whatever means, related to a proposal submitted by a competitor in response to a Request for Proposal in order to obtain an unfair advantage during the negotiation process;
(G) Contacting proposal/bid evaluators or any other person who may have influence over the award, without authorization from the division, for the purpose of influencing the award of a contract; or (H) Giving gifts, meals, trips, or any other thing of value or a monetary advantage for personal benefit, directly or indirectly, to an employee of the division or to any evaluator of bids/proposals.

Division 50 Missouri Ethics Commission
Chapter 1 Organization
1 CSR 50-1.010 General Organization {#sec-1-csr-50-1.010 omnilex-key=us-mo-regs-official--title-1--1 CSR 50-1.010}
PURPOSE: This rule describes the general organization of the commission and the methods and procedures people may use to obtain information about the commission, as required by section 536.023, RSMo.
(1) The Missouri Ethics Commission was created by section 105.955, RSMo. Section 105.955.14, RSMo sets forth the commission’s duties and responsibilities relevant to the impartial and effective enforcement of sections 105.450 to 105.498 and Chapter 130, RSMo.
