Statistics

Potential Violation Reporting

CPARB's Project Feedback Process Workgroup developed the following documents to assist the public works construction community's need to report on projects that are potentially in violation of RCW 39.10. The goal is to help educate owners and the community on the appropriate and successful application of RCW 39.10's alternative delivery methods for the benefit of the community as a whole. Recognizing CPARB and the PRC are not enforcement nor adjudicating bodies, the intent of the following process is to identify and connect with owners regarding potential violations at the lowest level possible and to identify areas where additional education may be needed.
