3.1 SCOPE OF WORK
3.1.1 Problem ID and/or Opportunity
The Law Enforcement Liaison (LEL) program provides an opportunity for the WTSC to work with local
law enforcement agencies to develop and implement statewide initiatives focusing on traffic safety
education and culture change at the local level. The frequency of contact with local law enforcement is
important to help facilitate their cooperation in achieving the Washington State Traffic Safety
Commission’s (WTSC) mission of building partnerships to save lives and prevent injuries on our
roadways for the health, safety, and benefit of our communities. The LEL program provides the conduit
to make those connections while helping the WTSC and local coordinators implement agency strategies.
3.1.2 Project Purpose and Strategies
The purpose of this project is to increase law enforcement participation in traffic safety enforcement and
to serve as a resource for the regional Target Zero Manager. This is accomplished by empowering the
local LEL by providing them training, funding, technical assistance, and access to a larger community of
LELs.
WTSC sees the following as some key qualities of an effective LEL -
- Demonstrated knowledge, understanding, and application of WA traffic safety laws.
- Strong interpersonal skills and good oral communications skills.
- Knowledge of general police methods, practices, and procedures.
- Solid connections with law enforcement agencies within the region.
3.2 PROJECT GOALS
1) Support participation in regional traffic safety activities, with a goal of 75% of law
enforcementagencies in the region participating in HVE events in the fiscal year.
2) Provide leadership in the development of professional development for traffic safety minded
officers,with the long term goal of increasing the number of law enforcement agency leaders/admin who
believe that traffic safety is a priority.
3) Provide guidance/feedback on law enforcement topics to the regional Target Zero Manager and
trafficsafety coalition (if applicable).
3.2.1 The objectives, measures and timelines listed in Appendix A will be reviewed at least annually by
the designated contacts of the SUB-RECIPIENT and WTSC, and may be updated pursuant to clause 6
of this AGREEMENT. For the purposes of this section only, the parties’ DESIGNATED CONTACTS, as
listed in clause 42, are authorized to execute these amendments to Appendix A.

3.3.1 The cost of accomplishing the work described in the SOW will not exceed $4,500.00, for the
entireperiod of performance, as allocated to each year of this agreement in Section 3.4 PROJECT
COSTS. Unspent contract funds from each year do NOT carry over into subsequent years and each
year’s budget is independent of the others.
3.3.2 Payment for satisfactory performance of the work shall not exceed this amount unless the
partiesmutually agree to a higher amount in a written Amendment to this Agreement executed by both

rates are subject to change based on updated Indirect Rate Letters from a cognizant federal agency or
approved cost allocation plans. If the indirect rate increases, the budget will be modified by deducting
the amount of the indirect rate increase from other budget categories so that the total budget does not
increase. The total budget may not increase without an amendment to this agreement executed by both
parties.
3.3.5 WTSC will only reimburse the SUB-RECIPIENT for travel related expenses for travel defined

followed. Washington State Administrative & Accounting Manual (SAAM) Chapter 10 can be obtained at

33. DEBARMENT AND SUSPENSION

when this transaction was entered into. If it is later determined that the lower tier participant knowingly
rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies available to the federal government,
the department or agency with which this transaction originated may pursue available remedies,
including suspension and/or debarment.
33.3. The lower tier participant shall provide immediate written notice to the WTSC if at any time the
lower tier participant learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has become
erroneous by reason of changed circumstances.

lower tier covered transaction that it is not proposed for debarment under 48 CFR part 9, subpart 9.4,

records in order to render in good faith the certification required by this clause. The knowledge and
information of a participant is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent
person in the ordinary course of business dealings.
33.9. Except for transactions authorized under paragraph 33.5. of these instructions, if a participant in a
covered transaction knowingly enters into a lower tier covered transaction with a person who is
proposed for debarment under 48 CFR part 9, subpart 9.4, suspended, debarred, ineligible, or
