INSTRUCTIONS
Do not apply digital signatures until the entire packet is ready to submit.
APPROVAL STEPS:
STEP 1: COMPLIANCE WITH JCC 3.55.080 3.55.080 and Chapter 42.23 RCW. Department Heads or Elected Officials for
departments who are proposing the contract must check one of the two boxes: (1) Check the "Certification" box, demonstrating
compliance with that JCC 3.55.080 and Chapter 42.23 RCW;or,(2)Check the"N/A"box,verifying that certification does not apply:
(a)For approval of contracts before a contractor is selected;or,(b)For contracts with other government agencies,including interlocal
agreements.Department Heads or Elected Officials may delegate this responsibility to certify the Contract Review Form in writing to a
person who has been trained to determine compliance with JCC 3.55.080 and Chapter 42.23 RCW.JCC 3.55.080 states: "All persons
involved in county purchasing are required to follow the rules regarding conflicts of interest as set forth in Chapter 42.23 RCW,as now
or hereafter amended, and, in addition thereto, are expressly prohibited from accepting, directly or indirectly, from any person,
company, firm, or corporation to which any procurement or contract is or might be awarded, any rebate, gift, money or anything of
value whatsoever,except where given for the use and benefit of the county."
STEP 2: CERTIFICATION THAT THE CONTRACTOR HAS NOT BEEN DEBARRED BY ANY FEDERAL,STATE,OR
LOCAL AGENCY.Department Heads or Elected Officials for departments who are proposing the contract must check one of the two
boxes: (1) Check the "Certification" box, demonstrating that the contractor has not been debarred by a government agency; or, (2)
Check the"N/A"box,verifying that certification does not apply: (a)For approval of contracts before a contractor is selected;or, (b)
For contracts with other government agencies that do not involve grant funding,including interlocal agreements.Department Heads or
Elected Officials may delegate this responsibility to certify the Contract Review Form in writing to a person who has been trained to
determine whether contractors have been debarred by a government agency. Contractors who have been debarred by a government
agency are not eligible to contract with that agency or Jefferson County. Jefferson County does not want to contract with debarred
contractors because they are considered untrustworthy. In addition,where grant funding is involved, debarred contractors usually are
not eligible to receive grant money and,if they are given grant funding,the County may be required to repay spent grant funding. At a
minimum,checking the certified box requires checking:
• Exclusions Section of the Federal Government Services Administration System for Award Management (SAM) at
https://sam.gov/content/exclusions;and,
• The Washington State Department of Labor&Industries Debarred Contractors List website
(https://secure.lni.wa.gov/debarandstrike/ContractorDebarList.aspx).
In addition,before checking the"Certification"box,the department should ask contractors to verify they have not been debarred by a
federal, state or local government agency. The department may satisfy Step 2 by attaching the standard debarment certificate
completed by the contractor. However, even if a standard debarment certificate is attached, the "Certification" box still must be
checked to satisfy Step 2.
STEP 3: RISK MANAGEMENT REVIEW.Risk management review of all contracts is required by the County's relationship with
the Washington Counties Risk Pool and by the County's risk management resolution. Risk management review involves determining
whether the contract is a valid contract and whether the contract language, including risk allocation provisions like indemnity and
insurance requirements,adequately protect the County from risks posed by the contract.
STEP 4: PROSECUTING ATTORNEY REVIEW. Legal review of all contracts by the Prosecuting Attorney's Office (PAO) is
required by the County's relationship documents with the Washington Counties Risk Pool and by the County's risk management
resolution. Review by the PAO involves determining whether the contract is a valid and unambiguous contract and may include
whether the contract language,including risk allocation provisions,adequately protect the County from risks posed by the contract.
STEP 5:REVISIONS,IF REQUIRED BY RISK MANAGEMENT OR THE PAO.If required,the department makes revisions
suggested by risk management or the PAO.Then,the department resubmits the revised contract to risk management and the PAO.
STEP 6: CONTRACTOR SIGNS. Obtain the contractor's signature before submitting to the Board of County Commissioners
(BoCC)for approval.
STEP 7:SUBMIT TO BOCC FOR APPROVAL.
1. Print 3 duplicate originals of the contract for the Commissioners'signature.
2. The submittal should include:
a. The 3 duplicate originals,each with PAO's signature approving the contract as to form;
b. This Contract Review Form showing approval by Risk Management and the PAO;and,
c. An Agenda Request.
3. Send all together in a hard copy packet to Attn:Julie/BoCC Office via interoffice mail to submit to the BoCC Agenda.The
Deadline for Agenda Items is Tuesday's by 4:30 p.m.in order to be included on the following Monday's Agenda. If the
submission does not meet this deadline,it will be added to the agenda for next Monday regular meeting of the BoCC.
QUESTIONS:

contracts for approval.If questions cannot be answered within the department,then questions should be presented to Risk Management
or the PAO's Civil Department. For questions about scheduling Agenda items, posting Agenda items, etc., please email or call Julie

Project Overview COMMISSK)NER S
The Community Boat Project (CBP) seeks funding to support our weekly shop programming.
This funding will stabilize operations at our new shop location and ensure continuity for our
school-based construction programs. Our Community Shop serves as a hands-on learning hub
where youth gain trade and life skills under the mentorship of experienced builders and
mariners. This investment strengthens partnerships with local schools, supports workforce
development, and sustains a vital community resource for Jefferson County youth.
Project Scope Statement
In 2026, the Community Boat Project will continue its hands-on construction and maritime
programs that connect local youth to real-world skills and community mentorship. Each week,
students from OCEAN School, and the Pi Program join us in the shop to learn craftsmanship,
teamwork, and problem-solving skills that build confidence and open doors to future careers.
Timeline & Milestones:
• January—March: Continue current programming with school partners.
• April—June: Maintain shop operations, host weekly student visits, complete student-led
projects, and conduct skill evaluations.
• June: Conclude the school year with project exhibitions and evaluations; begin summer
planning for 2026-27.
This funding ensures uninterrupted access to the Community Shop during a critical transition
period, allowing us to plan ahead for the next school year.
Organization Profile
Founded in 2007, the Community Boat Project builds stronger communities through
intergenerational, experiential education. Based in Port Hadlock, WA, CBP provides free,
hands-on learning programs that teach youth practical trade skills, teamwork, and personal
responsibility. Our programs combine mentorship, craftsmanship, and creativity which
empowers students to become capable, confident members of their communities.
Project Budget
Grant funds of$2,000 will directly support our facilitation costs for April—June 2026, ensuring
that our new Community Shop remains open and fully functional for weekly student
programming. Our facilitation costs are $250 per session, which covers:
• Two CBP educators for 2.5 hours of facilitation
• 30 minutes of prep time
• 10% administrative overhead
By maintaining stable facilities operations, we ensure that our long-term partnerships with
Chimacum, and Port Townsend schools continue without interruption. This foundational support
helps us plan for the 2026-27 school year with increased capacity for student participation and
community collaboration.
Evaluation Plan
Success will be measured through:
• Continuation of weekly programs with all three partner schools through June 2026.
• Student participation and attendance rates (target: 90% retention).
• Skill acquisition benchmarks aligned with school credit requirements.
• Partner and student feedback demonstrating improved confidence, collaboration, and
readiness for future training or employment.
