Delete the fourth through seventh paragraph of this section and add the following new
subsection:
1-05.4(1) Contracting Agency Provided Construction Staking
1-05.4(1)A General
As used in this Section 1-05.4, the words, “stake,” “mark,” “marker,” or “monument” will be
deemed to include any kind of survey marking, whether or not set by the Contracting Agency.
1-05.4(1)B Control Stakes
The Engineer will supply construction stakes and marks establishing lines, slopes and grades
in accordance with this Section of these Special Provisions. The Contractor shall assume full
responsibility for detailed dimensions, elevations, and excavation slopes measured from
these Engineer furnished stakes and marks.
A claim by the Contractor for extra compensation by reason of alterations or reconstruction
work allegedly due to error in the Engineer’s line and grade will not be allowed unless the
original control points set by the Engineer still exist, or unless the Contractor can provide
other satisfactory substantiating evidence to prove the error was caused by incorrect
Engineer furnished survey data. Three consecutive points set on line or grade shall be the
minimum points used to determine any variation from a straight line or grade. Any such
variation shall, upon discovery, be reported to the Engineer.
The Contractor shall provide a work site clear of equipment, stockpiles and obstructions
which has been prepared and maintained to permit construction staking to proceed in a safe
and orderly manner. The Engineer will stake a finite amount of work in a single day in
accordance with Section 1-05.4(1)C of these Special Provisions.
Stakes that constitute reference points for all construction work will be conspicuously marked
with an appropriate color of flagging tape. It will be the responsibility of the Contractor to
DIVISION 1: GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
CP2006 & CP2007 1-17 Special Provisions
3rd Street SW and Lea Hill Bridge Deck Preservation
inform its employees and subcontractors of the importance and necessity to preserve the
stakes.
1-05.4(1)C Survey Requests
It shall be the Contractor’s responsibility to properly schedule survey work and coordinate
staking requests with construction activities. The Engineer may be reasonably expected to
stake any one of the following items, in the quantity shown, in a single day:
Roadway grading +/-1500 lineal feet of centerline
Storm or sanitary sewer Approximately 8-10 structures
Water main +/-1500 lineal feet of pipe
Curb and gutter +/-1300 lineal feet (one side only)
Base and top course +/-1000 lineal feet of centerline
Slope staking +/-800-1200 lineal feet (top and toe)
Illumination/signalization Approximately 15-20 structures
Actual quantities may vary based on the complexity of the project, line of sight considerations,
traffic interference, properly prepared work site, and other items that could affect production.
The Contractor shall be aware that length does not always translate directly into stationing.
For example, a survey request for storm sewer pipe from Station 3+00 to 8+00 is 500 lineal
feet in length. There may be 1000 lineal feet, or more, of storm sewer pipe, if the pipe is
placed on both sides of the roadway and interconnected.
The Contractor shall provide staking requests at least three (3) working days before the
Engineer needs to begin the staking operation. If the work site is obstructed so that survey
work cannot be done, a new survey request shall be submitted by the Contractor so that the
survey work can be rescheduled once the site is properly prepared. An additional 3 working
days may be required to complete the rescheduled work.
The Contractor shall work to preserve stakes and marks set by the Engineer. The
Contracting Agency will deduct from payments due the Contractor all costs to replace such
stakes, marks, carelessly or willfully damaged or destroyed by the Contractor’s operation. A
new survey request shall be submitted by the Contractor to replace the damaged or
destroyed stakes. An additional 3 working days may be required to complete the request.
If the removal of a control stake or monument is required by the construction operations of
the Contractor or its subcontractors, and advance notice of at least three (3) working days is
given to the Engineer, the Engineer will reference, remove, and later replace the stakes at
no cost to the Contractor.
The Contractor is not entitled to an extension of time, as provided for in Section 1-08.8 as a
result of any replacement of control stakes.

centerline to the toe or top of a cut or fill slope exceeds 3 feet. In all other
areas, stakes shall be set at an appropriate offset to the street centerline to
allow for the preservation of said offsets through the rough grading phase. In
both cases the stakes shall be clearly marked with appropriate information
necessary to complete the rough grading phase.
· Curb and Gutters - One set of curb and gutter stakes shall be set at an
appropriate offset at 25-foot intervals, beginning and end points of curves and
curb returns, wheelchair ramps, driveways, and sufficient mid-curve points to
establish proper alignment.
· Base and Top Course – When deemed appropriate by the Engineer, one set
of final construction centerline grade hubs will be set for each course, at not
less than 50-foot stations. No intermediate stakes shall be provided unless
superelevations require them. In those circumstances, one grade hub left and
right of construction centerline at the transition stations will be set at an
appropriate offset to centerline not less than 25-foot stations.
· Adjacent or Adjoining Wetlands - One set of stakes delineating adjacent
wetland perimeters will be set at 25 to 50-foot stations as required.
· Illumination and Traffic Signals System - One set of stakes for luminaires and
traffic signal pole foundations will be set as required. One set of stakes for
vaults, junction boxes, and conduits will be set, only if curb and gutter is not
in place at the time of the survey request. If curb and gutter is in place, staking
for vaults, junction boxes, and conduits will be provided at an additional
expense to the Contractor.
When deemed appropriate by the Engineer, cut sheets will be supplied for curb, storm,
sanitary sewer and water lines. Cuts or fills may be marked on the surveyed points but should
not be relied on as accurate until a completed cut sheet is supplied.
The Contractor is responsible for staking all other items deemed necessary to construct the
project per the Plans and Specifications. All costs associated with Contractor staking shall
be incidental to the Work and be included in the Contract unit prices.

The Contractor’s request shall list the specific items of work that remain to be completed in
order to reach physical completion. The Engineer will schedule an inspection of the work with
DIVISION 1: GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
CP2006 & CP2007 1-22 Special Provisions
3rd Street SW and Lea Hill Bridge Deck Preservation
the Contractor to determine the status of completion. The Engineer may also establish the
Substantial Completion Date unilaterally.
If, after this inspection, the Engineer concurs with the Contractor that the work is substantially
complete and ready for its intended use, the Engineer, by written notice to the Contractor,
will set the Substantial Completion Date. If, after this inspection the Engineer does not
consider the work substantially complete and ready for its intended use, the Engineer will, by
written notice, so notify the Contractor giving the reasons therefore.
Upon receipt of written notice concurring in or denying substantial completion, whichever is
applicable, the Contractor shall pursue vigorously, diligently and without unauthorized
interruption, the work necessary to reach Substantial and Physical Completion. The
Contractor shall provide the Engineer with a revised schedule indicating when the Contractor
expects to reach substantial and physical completion of the work.
The above process shall be repeated until the Engineer establishes the Substantial
Completion Date and the Contractor considers the work physically complete and ready for
final inspection.
1-05.11(2) Final Inspection and Physical Completion Date
When the Contractor considers the work physically complete and ready for final inspection,
the Contractor by written notice, shall request the Engineer to schedule a final inspection.
The Engineer will set a date for final inspection. The Engineer and the Contractor will then
make a final inspection and the Engineer will notify the Contractor in writing of all particulars
in which the final inspection reveals the work incomplete or unacceptable. The Contractor
shall immediately take such corrective measures as are necessary to remedy the listed
deficiencies. Corrective work shall be pursued vigorously, diligently, and without interruption
until physical completion of the listed deficiencies. This process will continue until the
Engineer is satisfied the listed deficiencies have been corrected.
If action to correct the listed deficiencies is not initiated within 7 days after receipt of the
written notice listing the deficiencies, the Engineer may, upon written notice to the Contractor,
take whatever steps are necessary to correct those deficiencies pursuant to Section 1-05.7.
The Contractor will not be allowed an extension of contract time because of a delay in the
performance of the work attributable to the exercise of the Engineer’s right hereunder.
Upon correction of all deficiencies, the Engineer will notify the Contractor and the Contracting
Agency, in writing, of the date upon which the work was considered physically complete. That
date shall constitute the Physical Completion Date of the contract, but shall not imply
acceptance of the work or that all the obligations of the Contractor under the contract have
been fulfilled.
1-05.11(3) Operational Testing
It is the intent of the Contracting Agency to have, at the Physical Completion Date, a complete
and operable system. Therefore when the work involves the installation of machinery or other
mechanical equipment; street lighting, electrical distribution or signal systems; irrigation
systems; buildings; or other similar work, it may be desirable for the Engineer to have the
Contractor operate and test the work for a period of time after final inspection but prior to the
physical completion date. Whenever items of work are listed in the Contract Provisions for
operational testing, they shall be fully tested under operating conditions for the time period
specified to ensure their acceptability prior to the Physical Completion Date. During and
following the test period, the Contractor shall correct any items of workmanship, materials,
or equipment which prove faulty, or that are not in first class operating condition. Equipment,

electrical controls, meters, or other devices and equipment to be tested during this period
shall be tested under the observation of the Engineer, so the Engineer may determine their
suitability for the purpose for which they were installed. The Physical Completion Date cannot
be established until testing and corrections have been completed to the satisfaction of the
Engineer.
The costs for power, gas, labor, material, supplies, and everything else needed to
successfully complete operational testing, shall be included in the unit contract prices related
to the system being tested, unless specifically set forth otherwise in the proposal.
Operational and test periods, when required by the Engineer, shall not affect a
manufacturer’s guaranties or warranties furnished under the terms of the contract.

In accordance with Buy America requirements contained in 23 CFR 635.410, the major
quantities of steel and iron construction material that is permanently incorporated into the
project shall consist of American-made materials only. Buy America does not apply to
temporary steel items, e.g., temporary sheet piling, temporary bridges, steel scaffolding and
falsework.
Minor amounts of foreign steel and iron may be utilized in this project provided the cost of
the foreign material used does not exceed one-tenth of one percent of the total contract cost
or $2,500.00, whichever is greater.
American-made material is defined as material having all manufacturing processes occurring
domestically. To further define the coverage, a domestic product is a manufactured steel
material that was produced in one of the 50 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, or
in the territories and possessions of the United States.
DIVISION 1: GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
CP2006 & CP2007 1-26 Special Provisions
3rd Street SW and Lea Hill Bridge Deck Preservation
If domestically produced steel billets or iron ingots are exported outside of the area of
coverage, as defined above, for any manufacturing process then the resulting product does
not conform to the Buy America requirements. Additionally, products manufactured
domestically from foreign source steel billets or iron ingots do not conform to the Buy America
requirements because the initial melting and mixing of alloys to create the material occurred
in a foreign country.
Manufacturing begins with the initial melting and mixing, and continues through the coating
stage. Any process which modifies the chemical content, the physical size or shape, or the
final finish is considered a manufacturing process. The processes include rolling, extruding,
machining, bending, grinding, drilling, welding, and coating. The action of applying a coating
to steel or iron is deemed a manufacturing process. Coating includes epoxy coating,
galvanizing, aluminizing, painting, and any other coating that protects or enhances the value
of steel or iron. Any process from the original reduction from ore to the finished product
constitutes a manufacturing process for iron.
Due to a nationwide waiver, Buy America does not apply to raw materials (iron ore and
alloys), scrap (recycled steel or iron), and pig iron or processed, pelletized, and reduced iron
ore.
The following are considered to be steel manufacturing processes:
1. Production of steel by any of the following processes:
a. Open hearth furnace.
b. Basic oxygen.
c. Electric furnace.
d. Direct reduction.
2. Rolling, heat treating, and any other similar processing.
3. Fabrication of the products.
a. Spinning wire into cable or strand.
b. Corrugating and rolling into culverts.
c. Shop fabrication.
A certification of materials origin will be required for any items comprised of, or containing,
steel or iron construction materials prior to such items being incorporated into the permanent
work. The certification shall be on DOT Form 350-109EF provided by the Engineer, or such
other form the Contractor chooses, provided it contains the same information as DOT Form
350-109EF.

(including goals and timetables) shall be in accordance with that Plan for those
trades which have unions participating in the Plan. Contractors must be able to
demonstrate their participation in and compliance with the provisions of any such
Hometown Plan. Each Contractor or Subcontractor participating in an approved
Plan is individually required to comply with its obligations under the EEO clause,
and to make a good faith effort to achieve each goal under the Plan in each trade
in which it has employees. The overall good faith performance by other Contractors
or Subcontractors toward a goal in an approved Plan does not excuse any covered

union with whom the Contractor has a collective bargaining agreement, to refer
either minorities or women shall excuse the Contractor's obligations under these
specifications, Executive Order 11246, or the regulations promulgated pursuant
thereto.
6. In order for the nonworking training hours of apprentices and trainees to be counted
in meeting the goals, such apprentices and trainees must be employed by the
Contractor during the training period, and the Contractor must have made a
commitment to employ the apprentices and trainees at the completion of their
training, subject to the availability of employment opportunities. Trainees must be
trained pursuant to training programs approved by the U.S. Department of Labor.
7. The Contractor shall take specific affirmative actions to ensure equal employment
opportunity. The evaluation of the Contractor's compliance with these specifications
shall be based upon its effort to achieve maximum results from its action. The
Contractor shall document these efforts fully, and shall implement affirmative action
steps at least as extensive as the following:
a. Ensure and maintain a working environment free of harassment,
intimidation, and coercion at all sites, and in all facilities at which the
Contractor's employees are assigned to work. The Contractor, where
possible, will assign two or more women to each construction project. The

individual was sent to the union hiring hall for referral and was not referred
back to the Contractor by the union or, if referred, not employed by the
Contractor, this shall be documented in the file with the reason therefor,
along with whatever additional actions the Contractor may have taken.
d. Provide immediate written notification to the Director when the union or
unions with which the Contractor has a collective bargaining agreement
has not referred to the Contractor a minority person or woman sent by the
Contractor, or when the Contractor has other information that the union
referral process has impeded the Contractor's efforts to meet its
obligations.
e. Develop on-the-job training opportunity and/or participate in training
programs for the area which expressly include minorities and women,
including upgrading programs and apprenticeship and trainee programs
relevant to the Contractor's employment needs, especially those programs
funded or approved by the U.S. Department of Labor. The Contractor shall
provide notice of these programs to the sources compiled under 7b above.
f. Disseminate the Contractor's EEO policy by providing notice of the policy
to unions and training programs and requesting their cooperation in
assisting the Contractor in meeting its EEO obligations; by including it in
any policy manual and collective bargaining agreement; by publicizing it in
the company newspaper, annual report, etc.; by specific review of the
policy with all management personnel and with all minority and female
employees at least once a year; and by posting the company EEO policy
on bulletin boards accessible to all employees at each location where
construction work is performed.
g. Review, at least annually, the company's EEO policy and affirmative action
obligations under these specifications with all employees having any
responsibility for hiring, assignment, layoff, termination or other
employment decisions including specific review of these items with on-site
supervisory personnel such as Superintendents, General Foremen, etc.,
prior to the initiation of construction work at any job site. A written record
shall be made and maintained identifying the time and place of these
meetings, persons attending, subject matter discussed, and disposition of
the subject matter.
h. Disseminate the Contractor's EEO policy externally by including it in any
advertising in the news media, specifically including minority and female
news media, and providing written notification to and discussing the
Contractor's EEO policy with other Contractors and Subcontractors with
whom the Contractor does or anticipates doing business.
i. Direct its recruitment efforts, both oral and written to minority, female and
community organizations, to schools with minority and female students
and to minority and female recruitment and training organizations serving
the Contractor's recruitment area and employment needs. Not later than
one month prior to the date for the acceptance of applications for
apprenticeship or other training by any recruitment source, the Contractor

describing the openings, screening procedures, and tests to be used in
the selection process.
j. Encourage present minority and female employees to recruit other
minority persons and women and where reasonable, provide after school,
summer and vacation employment to minority and female youth both on
the site and in other areas of a Contractor's work force.
k. Validate all tests and other selection requirements where there is an
obligation to do so under 41 CFR Part 60-3.
l. Conduct, at least annually, an inventory and evaluation of all minority and
female personnel for promotional opportunities and encourage these
employees to seek or to prepare for, through appropriate training, etc.,
such opportunities.
m. Ensure that seniority practices, job classifications, work assignments and
other personnel practices, do not have a discriminatory effect by
continually monitoring all personnel and employment related activities to
ensure that the EEO policy and the Contractor's obligations under these
specifications are being carried out.
n. Ensure that all facilities and company activities are nonsegregated except
that separate or single-user toilet and necessary changing facilities shall

efforts of a contractor association, joint contractor-union, contractor-community, or
other similar group of which the Contractor is a member and participant, may be
asserted as fulfilling any one or more of the obligations under 7a through 7p of this
Special Provision provided that the Contractor actively participates in the group,
makes every effort to assure that the group has a positive impact on the
employment of minorities and women in the industry, ensure that the concrete
benefits of the program are reflected in the Contractor's minority and female work-
force participation, makes a good faith effort to meet its individual goals and
timetables, and can provide access to documentation which demonstrate the
effectiveness of actions taken on behalf of the Contractor. The obligation to comply,
however, is the Contractor's and failure of such a group to fulfill an obligation shall
not be a defense for the Contractor's noncompliance.
DIVISION 1: GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
CP2006 & CP2007 1-38 Special Provisions
3rd Street SW and Lea Hill Bridge Deck Preservation
9. A single goal for minorities and a separate single goal for women have been
established. The Contractor, however, is required to provide equal employment
opportunity and to take affirmative action for all minority groups, both male and
female, and all women, both minority and non-minority. Consequently, the
Contractor may be in violation of the Executive Order if a particular group is
employed in substantially disparate manner (for example, even though the
Contractor has achieved its goals for women generally, the Contractor may be in
violation of the Executive Order if a specific minority group of women is
underutilized).
10. The Contractor shall not use the goals and timetables or affirmative action
standards to discriminate against any person because of race, color, religion, sex,
or national origin.
11. The Contractor shall not enter into any subcontract with any person or firm debarred
from Government contracts pursuant to Executive Order 11246.
12. The Contractor shall carry out such sanctions and penalties for violation of these
specifications and of the Equal Opportunity Clause, including suspensions,
terminations and cancellations of existing subcontracts as may be imposed or
ordered pursuant to Executive Order 11246, as amended, and its implementing
regulations by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs. Any Contractor
who fails to carry out such sanctions and penalties shall be in violation of these
specifications and Executive Order 11246, as amended.
13. The Contractor, in fulfilling its obligations under these specifications, shall
implement specific affirmative action steps, at least as extensive as those standards
prescribed in paragraph 7 of this Special Provision, so as to achieve maximum
results from its efforts to ensure equal employment opportunity. If the Contractor
fails to comply with the requirements of the Executive Order, the implementing
regulations, or these specifications, the Director shall proceed in accordance with
41 CFR 60-4.8.
14. The Contractor shall designate a responsible official to monitor all employment
related activity to ensure that the company EEO policy is being carried out, to submit
reports relating to the provisions hereof as may be required by the government and
to keep records. Records shall at least include, for each employee, their name,
address, telephone numbers, construction trade, union affiliation if any, employee
identification number when assigned, social security number, race, sex, status (e.g.,
mechanic, apprentice, trainee, helper, or laborer), dates of changes in status, hours
worked per week in the indicated trade, rate of pay, and locations at which the work
was performed. Records shall be maintained in an easily understandable and
retrievable form; however, to the degree that existing records satisfy this
requirement, the Contractors will not be required to maintain separate records.
15. Nothing herein provided shall be construed as a limitation upon the application of
other laws which establish different standards of compliance or upon the application
of requirements for the hiring of local or other area residents (e.g., those under the
Public Works Employment Act of 1977 and the Community Development Block
Grant Program).

Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Participation
The Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) requirements of 49 CFR Part 26 and
USDOT’s official interpretations (i.e., Questions & Answers) apply to this Contract.
Demonstrating compliance with these Specifications is a Condition of Award (COA) of
this Contract. Failure to comply with the requirements of this Specification may result
in your Bid being found to be nonresponsive resulting in rejection or other sanctions as
provided by Contract.
DBE Abbreviations and Definitions
Broker – A business firm that provides a bona fide service, such as
professional, technical, consultant or managerial services and assistance in
the procurement of essential personnel, facilities, equipment, materials, or
supplies required for the performance of the Contract; or, persons/companies
who arrange or expedite transactions.
Certified Business Description – Specific descriptions of work the DBE is
certified to perform, as identified in the Certified Firm Directory, under the
Vendor Information page.
Certified Firm Directory – A database of all Minority, Women, and
Disadvantaged Business Enterprises currently certified by Washington State.
The on-line Directory is available to Bidders for their use in identifying and
soliciting interest from DBE firms. The database is located under the Firm
Certification section of the Diversity Management and Compliance System
web page at: https://omwbe.diversitycompliance.com.
Commercially Useful Function (CUF) – 49 CFR 26.55(c)(1) defines
commercially useful function as: “A DBE performs a commercially useful
function when it is responsible for execution of the work of the contract and is
carrying out its responsibilities by actually performing, managing, and
supervising the work involved. To perform a commercially useful function, the
DIVISION 1: GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
CP2006 & CP2007 1-40 Special Provisions
3rd Street SW and Lea Hill Bridge Deck Preservation
DBE 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 a DBE is performing a commercially
useful function, you must 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 DBE
credit claimed for its performance of the work, and other relevant factors.”
Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) – A business firm certified by
the Washington State Office of Minority and Women’s Business Enterprises,
as meeting the criteria outlined in 49 CFR 26 regarding DBE certification.
Force Account Work – Work measured and paid in accordance with Section
1-09.6.
Good Faith Efforts – Efforts to achieve the DBE COA Goal or other
requirements of this part which, by their scope, intensity, and appropriateness
to the objective, can reasonably be expected to fulfill the program
requirement.
Manufacturer (DBE) – A DBE firm that operates or maintains a factory or
establishment that produces on the premises the materials, supplies, articles,
or equipment required under the Contract. A DBE Manufacturer shall
produce finished goods or products from raw or unfinished material or
purchase and substantially alters goods and materials to make them suitable
for construction use before reselling them.
Reasonable Fee (DBE) – For purposes of Brokers or service providers a
reasonable fee shall not exceed 5% of the total cost of the goods or services
brokered.
Regular Dealer (DBE) – A DBE firm that owns, operates, or maintains a
store, warehouse, or other establishment in which the materials or supplies
required for the performance of a Contract are bought, kept in stock, and
regularly sold to the public in the usual course of business. To be a Regular
Dealer, the DBE firm must be an established regular business that engages
in as its principal business and in its own name the purchase and sale of the
products in question. A Regular Dealer in such items as steel, cement, gravel,
stone, and petroleum products need not own, operate or maintain a place of
business if it both owns and operates distribution equipment for the products.
Any supplementing of regular dealers’ own distribution equipment shall be by
long-term formal lease agreements and not on an ad-hoc basis. Brokers,
packagers, manufacturers’ representatives, or other persons who arrange or
expedite transactions shall not be regarded as Regular Dealers within the
meaning of this definition.
DBE Commitment – The scope of work and dollar amount the Bidder
indicates they will be subcontracting to be applied towards the DBE Condition
of Award Goal as shown on the DBE Utilization Certification Form for each
DBE Subcontractor. This DBE Commitment amount will be incorporated into
DIVISION 1: GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
CP2006 & CP2007 1-41 Special Provisions
3rd Street SW and Lea Hill Bridge Deck Preservation
the Contract and shall be considered a Contract requirement. The Contractor
shall utilize the COA DBEs to perform the work and supply the materials for
which they are committed. Any changes to the DBE Commitment require the
Engineer’s prior written approval.
DBE Condition of Award (COA) Goal – An assigned numerical amount
specified as a percentage of the Contract. Initially, this is the minimum
amount that the Bidder must commit to by submission of the Utilization
Certification Form and/or by Good Faith Effort (GFE).
DBE COA Goal
The Contracting Agency has established a DBE COA Goal for this Contract in the
amount of: 6%
Crediting DBE Participation
Subcontractors proposed as COA must be certified prior to the due date for bids
on the Contract. All non-COA DBE Subcontractors shall be certified before the
subcontract on which they are participating is executed.
DBE participation is only credited upon payment to the DBE.
The following are some definitions of what may be counted as DBE participation.
DBE Prime Contractor
Only take credit for that portion of the total dollar value of the Contract equal
to the distinct, clearly defined portion of the Work that the DBE Prime
Contractor performs with its own forces and is certified to perform.
DBE Subcontractor
Only take credit for that portion of the total dollar value of the subcontract that
is equal to the distinct, clearly defined portion of the Work that the DBE
performs with its own forces and is certified to perform. The value of work
performed by the DBE includes the cost of supplies and materials purchased
by the DBE and equipment leased by the DBE, for its work on the contract.
Supplies, materials or equipment obtained by a DBE that are not utilized or
incorporated in the contract work by the DBE will not be eligible for DBE
credit.
The supplies, materials, and equipment purchased or leased from the
Contractor or its affiliate, including any Contractor’s resources available to
DBE subcontractors at no cost, shall not be credited.
DBE credit will not be given in instances where the equipment lease includes
the operator. The DBE is expected to operate the equipment used in the
performance of its work under the contract with its own forces. Situations
where equipment is leased and used by the DBE, but payment is deducted
from the Contractor’s payment to the DBE is not allowed.
When the subcontractor is part of a DBE Commitment, the following apply:
DIVISION 1: GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
CP2006 & CP2007 1-42 Special Provisions
3rd Street SW and Lea Hill Bridge Deck Preservation
1. If a DBE subcontracts a portion of the Work of its contract to another
firm, the value of the subcontracted Work may be counted toward the
DBE COA Goal only if the Lower-Tier Subcontractor is also a DBE.
2. Work subcontracted to a Lower-Tier Subcontractor that is a DBE, may
be counted toward the DBE COA Goal.
3. Work subcontracted to a non-DBE does not count towards the DBE
COA Goal.
DBE Subcontract and Lower Tier Subcontract Documents
There must be a subcontract agreement that complies with 49 CFR Part 26
and fully describes the distinct elements of Work committed to be performed
by the DBE.
DBE Service Provider
The value of fees or commissions charged by a DBE firm behaving in a
manner of a Broker, or another service provider for providing a bona fide
service, such as professional, technical, consultant, managerial services, or
for providing bonds or insurance specifically required for the performance of
the contract will only be credited as DBE participation, if the fee/commission
is determined by the Contracting Agency to be reasonable and the firm has
performed a CUF.
Force Account Work
When the Bidder elects to utilize force account Work to meet the DBE COA
Goal, as demonstrated by listing this force account Work on the DBE
Utilization Certification Form, for the purposes of meeting the DBE COA Goal,
only 50% of the Proposal amount shall be credited toward the Bidder’s
Commitment to meet the DBE COA Goal.
One hundred percent of the actual amounts paid to the DBE for the force
account Work shall be credited towards the DBE COA Goal or DBE
participation.
Temporary Traffic Control
If the DBE firm only provides “Flagging”, the DBE firm must provide a Traffic
Control Supervisor (TCS) and flagger, which are under the direct control of
the DBE. The DBE firm shall also provide all flagging equipment for it’s
employees (e.g. paddles, hard hats, and vests).
If the DBE firm provides “Traffic Control Services”, the DBE firm must provide
a TCS, flaggers, and traffic control items (e.g., cones, barrels, signs, etc.) and
be in total control of all items in implementing the traffic control for the project.
Trucking
DBE trucking firm participation may only be credited as DBE participation for
the value of the hauling services, not for the materials being hauled unless
the trucking firm is also certified as a supplier of those materials. In situations
where the DBE’s work is priced per ton, the value of the hauling service must
DIVISION 1: GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
CP2006 & CP2007 1-43 Special Provisions
3rd Street SW and Lea Hill Bridge Deck Preservation
be calculated separately from the value of the materials in order to determine
DBE credit for hauling
The DBE trucking firm must own and operate at least one licensed, insured
and operational truck on the contract. The truck must be of the type that is
necessary to perform the hauling duties required under the contract. The DBE
receives credit for the value of the transportation services it provides on the
Contract using trucks it owns or leases, licenses, insures, and operates with
drivers it employs.
The DBE may lease additional trucks from another DBE firm. The DBE who
leases additional trucks from another DBE firm receives credit for the value of
the transportation services the lessee DBE provides on the Contract.
The trucking Work subcontracted to any non-DBE trucking firm will not
receive credit for Work done on the project.
The DBE may lease trucks from a truck leasing company (recognized truck
rental center), but can only receive credit towards DBE participation if the
DBE uses its own employees as drivers.
DBE Manufacturer and DBE Regular Dealer
One hundred percent (100%) of the cost of the manufactured product
obtained from a DBE manufacturer may count towards the DBE COA Goal.
Sixty percent (60%) of the cost of materials or supplies purchased from a
DBE Regular Dealer may be credited towards the DBE Goal. If the role of the
DBE Regular Dealer is determined to be that of a Broker, then DBE credit
shall be limited to the fee or commission it receives for its services. Regular
Dealer status and the amount of credit is determined on a Contract-by-
Contract basis.
DBE firms proposed to be used as a Regular Dealer must be approved
before being listed as a COA/used on a project. The WSDOT Approved
Regular Dealer list published on WSDOT’s Office of Equal Opportunity (OEO)
web site must include the specific project for which approval is being
requested. For purposes of the DBE COA Goal participation, the Regular
Dealer must submit the Regular Dealer Status Request form a minimum of
five calendar days prior to bid opening.
Purchase of materials or supplies from a DBE which is neither a manufacturer
nor a regular dealer, (i.e. Broker) only the fees or commissions charged for
assistance in the procurement of the materials and supplies, or fees or
transportation charges for the delivery of materials or supplies required on the
job site, may count towards the DBE COA Goal provided the fees are not
excessive as compared with fees customarily allowed for similar services.
Documentation will be required to support the fee/commission charged by the
DBE. The cost of the materials and supplies themselves cannot be counted
toward the DBE COA Goal.
DIVISION 1: GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
CP2006 & CP2007 1-44 Special Provisions
3rd Street SW and Lea Hill Bridge Deck Preservation
Note: Requests to be listed as a Regular Dealer will only be processed if
the requesting firm is a material supplier certified by the Office of
Minority and Women’s Business Enterprises in a NAICS code that
falls within the 42XXXX NAICS Wholesale code section.
Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Utilization
To be eligible for award of the Contract, the Bidder shall properly complete and
submit a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Utilization Certification with
the Bidder’s sealed Bid Proposal, as specified in Section 1-02.9 Delivery of
Proposal. The Bidder’s DBE Utilization Certification must clearly demonstrate how
the Bidder intends to meet the DBE COA Goal. A DBE Utilization Certification
(WSDOT Form 272-056) is included in the Proposal package for this purpose as
well as instructions on how to properly fill out the form.
The Bidder is advised that the items listed below when listed in the Utilization
Certification must have their amounts reduced to the percentages shown and
those reduced amounts will be the amount applied towards meeting the DBE COA
Goal.
• Force account at 50%
• Regular dealer at 60%
In the event of arithmetic errors in completing the DBE Utilization Certification, the
amount listed to be applied towards the DBE COA Goal for each DBE shall
govern and the DBE total amount shall be adjusted accordingly.
Note: The Contracting Agency shall consider as non-responsive and shall
reject any Bid Proposal submitted that does not contain a DBE
Utilization Certification Form that accurately demonstrates how the
Bidder intends to meet the DBE COA Goal.
Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Written Confirmation Document(s)
The Bidder shall submit an Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Written
Confirmation Document (completed and signed by the DBE) for each DBE firm
listed in the Bidder’s completed DBE Utilization Certification submitted with the
Bid. Failure to do so will result in the associated participation being disallowed,
which may cause the Bid to be determined to be nonresponsive resulting in Bid
rejection.
The Confirmation Documents provide confirmation from the DBEs that they are
participating in the Contract as provided in the Bidder’s Commitment. The
Confirmation Documents must be consistent with the Utilization Certification.
A DBE Written Confirmation Document (WSDOT Form 422-031) is included in the
Proposal package for this purpose.
The form(s) shall be received as specified in the special provisions for Section 1-
02.9 Delivery of Proposal.
It is prohibited for the Bidder to require a DBE to submit a Written Confirmation
Document with any part of the form left blank. Should the Contracting Agency
DIVISION 1: GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
CP2006 & CP2007 1-45 Special Provisions
3rd Street SW and Lea Hill Bridge Deck Preservation
determine that an incomplete Written Confirmation Document was signed by a
DBE, the validity of the document comes into question. The associated DBE
participation may not receive credit.
Selection of Successful Bidder/Good Faith Efforts (GFE)
The successful Bidder shall be selected on the basis of having submitted the
lowest responsive Bid, which demonstrates a good faith effort to achieve the DBE
COA Goal. The Contracting Agency, at any time during the selection process,
may request a breakdown of the bid items and amounts that are counted towards
the overall contract goal for any of the DBEs listed on the DBE Utilization
Certification.
Achieving the DBE COA Goal may be accomplished in one of two ways:
1. By meeting the DBE COA Goal
Submission of the DBE Utilization Certification, supporting DBE Written
Confirmation Document(s) showing the Bidder has obtained enough DBE
participation to meet or exceed the DBE COA Goal, the DBE Bid Item
Breakdown and the DBE Trucking Credit Form, if applicable.
2. By documentation that the Bidder made adequate GFE to meet the DBE
COA Goal
The Bidder may demonstrate a GFE in whole or part through GFE
documentation ONLY IN THE EVENT a Bidder’s efforts to solicit
sufficient DBE participation have been unsuccessful. The Bidder must
supply GFE documentation in addition to the DBE Utilization Certification,
supporting DBE Written Confirmation Document(s), the DBE Bid Item
Breakdown form and the DBE Trucking Credit Form, if applicable.
Note: In the case where a Bidder is awarded the contract based on
demonstrating adequate GFE, the advertised DBE COA Goal will not
be reduced. The Bidder shall demonstrate a GFE during the life of
the Contract to attain the advertised DBE COA Goal.
GFE documentation, the DBE Bid Item Breakdown form, and the DBE Trucking
Credit Form, if applicable, shall be submitted as specified in Section 1-02.9.
The Contracting Agency will review the GFE documentation and will determine if
the Bidder made an adequate good faith effort.
Good Faith Effort (GFE) Documentation
GFE is evaluated when:
1. Determining award of a Contract that has COA goal,
2. When a COA DBE is terminated and substitution is required, and
3. Prior to Physical Completion when determining whether the Contractor
has satisfied its DBE commitments.
DIVISION 1: GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
CP2006 & CP2007 1-46 Special Provisions
3rd Street SW and Lea Hill Bridge Deck Preservation
49 CFR Part 26, Appendix A is intended as general guidance and does not, in
itself, demonstrate adequate good faith efforts. The following is a list of types of
actions, which would be considered as part of the Bidder’s GFE to achieve DBE
participation. It is not intended to be a mandatory checklist, nor is it intended to be
exclusive or exhaustive. Other factors or types of efforts may be relevant in
appropriate cases.
1. Soliciting through all reasonable and available means (e.g. attendance at
pre-bid meetings, advertising and/or written notices) the interest of all
certified DBEs who have the capability to perform the Work of the
Contract. The Bidder must solicit this interest within sufficient time to
allow the DBEs to respond to the solicitation. The Bidder must determine
with certainty if the DBEs are interested by taking appropriate steps to
follow up initial solicitations.
2. Selecting portions of the Work to be performed by DBEs in order to
increase the likelihood that the DBE COA Goal will be achieved. This
includes, where appropriate, breaking out contract Work items into
economically feasible units to facilitate DBE participation, even when the
Bidder might otherwise prefer to perform these Work items with its own
forces.
3. Providing interested DBEs with adequate information about the Plans,
Specifications, and requirements of the Contract in a timely manner to
assist them in responding to a solicitation.
a. Negotiating in good faith with interested DBEs. It is the Bidder’s
responsibility to make a portion of the Work available to DBE
subcontractors and suppliers and to select those portions of the
Work or material needs consistent with the available DBE
subcontractors and suppliers, so as to facilitate DBE participation.
Evidence of such negotiation includes the names, addresses, and
telephone numbers of DBEs that were considered; a description of
the information provided regarding the Plans and Specifications for
the Work selected for subcontracting; and evidence as to why
additional agreements could not be reached for DBEs to perform the
Work.
b. A Bidder using good business judgment would consider a number of
factors in negotiating with subcontractors, including DBE
subcontractors, and would take a firm’s price and capabilities as well
as the DBE COA Goal into consideration. However, the fact that
there may be some additional costs involved in finding and using
DBEs is not in itself sufficient reason for a Bidder’s failure to meet
the DBE COA Goal, as long as such costs are reasonable. Also, the
ability or desire of a Bidder to perform the Work of a Contract with its
own organization does not relieve the Bidder of the responsibility to
make Good Faith Efforts. Bidders are not, however, required to
accept higher quotes from DBEs if the price difference is excessive
or unreasonable.
DIVISION 1: GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
CP2006 & CP2007 1-47 Special Provisions
3rd Street SW and Lea Hill Bridge Deck Preservation
4. Not rejecting DBEs as being unqualified without sound reasons based on
a thorough investigation of their capabilities. The Bidder’s standing within
its industry, membership in specific groups, organizations, or
associations and political or social affiliations (for example union vs. non-
union employee status) are not legitimate causes for the rejection or non-
solicitation of bids in the Bidder’s efforts to meet the DBE COA Goal.
5. Making efforts to assist interested DBEs in obtaining bonding, lines of
credit, or insurance as required by the recipient or Bidder.
6. Making efforts to assist interested DBEs in obtaining necessary
equipment, supplies, materials, or related assistance or services.
7. Effectively using the services of available minority/women community
organizations; minority/women contractors’ groups; local, State, and
Federal minority/women business assistance offices; and other
organizations as allowed on a case-by-case basis to provide assistance
in the recruitment and placement of DBEs.
8. Documentation of GFE must include copies of each DBE and non-DBE
subcontractor quotes submitted to the Bidder when a non-DBE
subcontractor is selected over a DBE for Work on the Contract. (ref.
updated DBE regulations – 26.53(b)(2)(vi) & App. A)
Administrative Reconsideration of GFE Documentation
A Bidder has the right to request reconsideration if the GFE documentation
submitted with their Bid was determined to be inadequate.
• The Bidder must request within 48 hours of notification of being
nonresponsive or forfeit the right to reconsideration.
• The reconsideration decision on the adequacy of the Bidder’s GFE
documentation shall be made by an official who did not take part in the
original determination.
• Only original GFE documentation submitted as a supplement to the Bid
shall be considered. The Bidder shall not introduce new documentation
at the reconsideration hearing.
• The Bidder shall have the opportunity to meet in person with the official
for the purpose of setting forth the Bidder’s position as to why the GFE
documentation demonstrates a sufficient effort.
• The reconsideration official shall provide the Bidder with a written
decision on reconsideration within five working days of the hearing
explaining the basis for their finding.
DBE Bid Item Breakdown
The Bidder shall submit a DBE Bid Item Breakdown Form (WSDOT Form 272-
054) as specified in the Special Provisions for Section 1-02.9, Delivery of
Proposal.
DIVISION 1: GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
CP2006 & CP2007 1-48 Special Provisions
3rd Street SW and Lea Hill Bridge Deck Preservation
DBE Trucking Credit Form
The Bidder shall submit a DBE Trucking Credit Form (WSDOT Form 272-058), as
specified in the Special Provisions for Section 1-02.9, Delivery of Proposal.
Note: The DBE Trucking Credit Form is only required for a DBE Firm listed
on the DBE Utilization Certification as a subcontractor for “Trucking”
or “Hauling” and are performing a part of a bid item. For example, if
the item of Work is Structure Excavation including Haul, and another
firm is doing the excavation and the DBE Trucking firm is doing the
haul, the form is required. For a DBE subcontractor that is
responsible for an entire item of work that may require some use of
trucks, the form is not required.
Procedures between Award and Execution
After Award and prior to Execution, the Contractor shall provide the additional
information described below. Failure to comply shall result in the forfeiture of the
Bidder’s Proposal bond or deposit.
1. A list of all firms who submitted a bid or quote in attempt to participate in
this project whether they were successful or not. Include the business
name and mailing address.
Note: The firms identified by the Contractor may be contacted by the
Contracting Agency to solicit general information as follows: age of
the firm and average of its gross annual receipts over the past three
years.
Procedures after Execution
Commercially Useful Function (CUF)
The Contractor may only take credit for the payments made for Work
performed by a DBE that is determined to be performing a CUF. Payment
must be commensurate with the work actually performed by the DBE. This
applies to all DBEs performing Work on a project, whether or not the DBEs
are COA, if the Contractor wants to receive credit for their participation. The
Engineer will conduct CUF reviews to ascertain whether DBEs are performing
a CUF. A DBE performs a CUF when it is carrying out its responsibilities of its
contract by actually performing, managing, and supervising the Work
involved. The DBE must be responsible for negotiating price; determining
quality and quantity; ordering the material, installing (where applicable); and
paying for the material itself. If a DBE does not perform “all” of these functions
on a furnish-and-install contract, it has not performed a CUF and the cost of
materials cannot be counted toward DBE COA Goal. Leasing of equipment
from a leasing company is allowed. However, leasing/purchasing equipment
from the Contractor is not allowed. Lease agreements shall be provided prior
to the Subcontractor beginning Work. Any use of the Contractor’s equipment
by a DBE may not be credited as countable participation.
The DBE does not perform a CUF if its role is limited to that of an extra
participant in a transaction, contract, or project through which the funds are
passed in order to obtain the appearance of DBE participation.
DIVISION 1: GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
CP2006 & CP2007 1-49 Special Provisions
3rd Street SW and Lea Hill Bridge Deck Preservation
In order for a DBE traffic control company to be considered to be performing
a CUF, the DBE must be in control of its work inclusive of supervision. The
DBE shall employ a Traffic Control Supervisor who is directly involved in the
management and supervision of the traffic control employees and services.
The following are some of the factors that the Engineer will use in determining
whether a DBE trucking company is performing a CUF:
• The DBE shall be responsible for the management and supervision
of the entire trucking operation for which it is responsible on the
contract. The owner demonstrates business related knowledge,
shows up on site and is determined to be actively running the
business.
• The DBE itself shall own and operate at least one fully licensed,
insured, and operational truck used on the Contract. The drivers of
the trucks owned and leased by the DBE must be exclusively
employed by the DBE and reflected on the DBE’s payroll.
• Lease agreements for trucks shall indicate that the DBE has
exclusive use of and control over the truck(s). This does not
preclude the leased truck from working for others provided it is with
the consent of the DBE and the lease provides the DBE absolute
priority for use of the leased truck.
• Leased trucks shall display the name and identification number of
the DBE.
UDBE/DBE/FSBE Truck Unit Listing Log
In addition to the subcontracting requirements of Section 1-08.1, each DBE
trucking firm shall submit supplemental information consisting of a completed
Primary UDBE/DBE/FSBE Truck Unit Listing Log (WSDOT Form 350-077),
copy of vehicle registrations, and all Rental/Lease agreements (if applicable).
The supplemental information shall be submitted to the Engineer prior to any
trucking services being performed for DBE credit. Incomplete or incorrect
supplemental information will be returned for correction. The corrected
Primary UDBE/DBE/FSBE Truck Unit Listing Log and any Updated Primary
UDBE/DBE/FSBE Truck Unit Listing Logs shall be submitted and accepted by
the Engineer no later than ten calendar days of utilizing applicable trucks.
Failure to submit or update the DBE Truck Unit Listing Log may result in
trucks not being credited as DBE participation.
Each DBE trucking firm shall complete a Daily UDBE/DBE/FSBE Trucking
Unit Listing Log for each day that the DBE performs trucking services for DBE
credit. The Daily UDBE/DBE/FSBE Trucking Unit Listing Log forms shall be
submitted to the Engineer by Friday of the week after the work was

CP2006 & CP2007 1-50 Special Provisions
3rd Street SW and Lea Hill Bridge Deck Preservation
Joint Checking
A joint check is a check between a Subcontractor and the Contractor to the
supplier of materials/supplies. The check is issued by the Contractor as payer
to the Subcontractor and the material supplier jointly for items to be
incorporated into the project. The DBE must release the check to the supplier,
while the Contractor acts solely as the guarantor.
A joint check agreement must be approved by the Engineer and requested by
the DBE involved using the DBE Joint Check Request Form (form # 272-053)
prior to its use. The form must accompany the DBE Joint Check Agreement
between the parties involved, including the conditions of the arrangement and
expected use of the joint checks.
The approval to use joint checks and the use will be closely monitored by the
Engineer. To receive DBE credit for performing a CUF with respect to
obtaining materials and supplies, a DBE must “be responsible for negotiating
price, determining quality and quantity, ordering the material, installing and
paying for the material itself.” The Contractor shall submit DBE Joint Check
Request Form to the Engineer and be in receipt of written approval prior to
using a joint check.
Material costs paid by the Contractor directly to the material supplier are not
allowed. If proper procedures are not followed or the Engineer determines
that the arrangement results in lack of independence for the DBE involved, no
DBE credit will be given for the DBE’s participation as it relates to the material
cost.
Prompt Payment
Prompt payment to all subcontractors shall be in accordance with Section 1-
08.1. Prompt payment requirements apply to progress payments as well as
return of retainage.
Subcontracts
Prior to a DBE performing Work on the Contract, an executed subcontract
between the DBE and the Contractor shall be submitted to the Engineer. The
executed subcontracts shall be submitted by email to the following email
address
NWRegionOEO@wsdot.wa.gov
pwsubmittals@auburnwa.gov
The prime contractor shall notify the Engineer in writing within five calendar
days of subcontract submittal.
Reporting
The Contractor and all subcontractors/suppliers/service providers that utilize
DBEs to perform work on the project, shall maintain appropriate records that
will enable the Engineer to verify DBE participation throughout the life of the
project.
DIVISION 1: GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
CP2006 & CP2007 1-51 Special Provisions
3rd Street SW and Lea Hill Bridge Deck Preservation
Refer to Section 1-08.1 for additional reporting requirements associated with
this contract.
Changes in COA Work Committed to DBE
The Contractor shall utilize the COA DBEs to perform the work and supply the
materials for which each is committed unless prior written approval by the
Engineer is received by the Contractor. The Contractor shall not be entitled to any
payment for work or material completed by the Contractor or subcontractors that
was committed to be completed by the COA DBEs in the DBE Utilization
Certification form.
Owner Initiated Changes
In instances where the Engineer makes changes that result in changes to
Work that was committed to a COA DBE the Contractor may be directed to
substitute for the Work.
Contractor Initiated Changes
The Contractor cannot change the scope or reduce the amount of work
committed to a COA DBE without good cause. Reducing DBE Commitment is
viewed as partial DBE termination, and therefore subject to the termination
procedures below.
Original Quantity Underruns
In the event that Work committed to a DBE firm as part of the COA underruns
the original planned quantities the Contractor may be required to substitute
other remaining Work to another DBE.
Contractor Proposed DBE Substitutions
Requests to substitute a COA DBE must be for good cause (see DBE
termination process below), and requires prior written approval of the
Engineer. After receiving a termination with good cause approval, the
Contractor may only replace a DBE with another certified DBE. When any
changes between Contract Award and Execution result in a substitution of
COA DBE, the substitute DBE shall have been certified prior to the bid
opening on the Contract.
DBE Termination
Termination of a COA DBE (or an approved substitute DBE) is only allowed in
whole or in part for good cause and with prior written approval of the
Engineer. If the Contractor terminates a COA DBE without the prior written
approval of the Engineer, the Contractor shall not be entitled to payment for
work or material committed to, but not performed/supplied by the COA DBE.
In addition, sanctions may apply as described elsewhere in this specification.
Prior to requesting approval to terminate a COA DBE, the Contractor shall
give notice in writing to the DBE with a copy to the Engineer of its intent to
request to terminate DBE Work and the reasons for doing so. The DBE shall
have five (5) days to respond to the Contractor’s notice. The DBE’s response
shall either support the termination or advise the Engineer and the Contractor
of the reasons it objects to the termination of its subcontract.
DIVISION 1: GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
CP2006 & CP2007 1-52 Special Provisions
3rd Street SW and Lea Hill Bridge Deck Preservation
If the request for termination is approved, the Contractor is required to
substitute with another DBE to perform at least the same amount of work as
the DBE that was terminated (or provide documentation of GFE). A plan to
replace the COA DBE Commitment amount shall be submitted to the
Engineer within 2 days of the approval of termination. The plan to replace the
Commitment shall provide the same detail as that required in the DBE
Utilization Certification.
The Contractor must have good cause to terminate a COA DBE.
Good cause typically includes situations where the DBE Subcontractor is
unable or unwilling to perform the work of its subcontract. Good cause may
exist if:
• The DBE fails or refuses to execute a written contract.
• The DBE fails or refuses to perform the Work of its subcontract in a
way consistent with normal industry standards.
• The DBE fails or refuses to meet the Contractor’s reasonable
nondiscriminatory bond requirements.
• The DBE becomes bankrupt, insolvent, or exhibits credit
unworthiness.
• The DBE is ineligible to work on public works projects because of
suspension and debarment proceedings pursuant to federal law or
applicable State law.
• The DBE is ineligible to receive DBE credit for the type of work
involved.
• The DBE voluntarily withdraws from the project and provides written
notice of its withdrawal.
• The DBE’s work is deemed unsatisfactory by the Engineer and not
in compliance with the Contract.
• The DBE’s owner dies or becomes disabled with the result that the
DBE is unable to complete its Work on the Contract.
Good cause does not exist if:
• The Contractor seeks to terminate a COA DBE so that the
Contractor can self-perform the Work.
• The Contractor seeks to terminate a COA DBE so the Contractor
can substitute another DBE contractor or non-DBE contractor after
Contract Award.
DIVISION 1: GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
CP2006 & CP2007 1-53 Special Provisions
3rd Street SW and Lea Hill Bridge Deck Preservation
• The failure or refusal of the COA DBE to perform its Work on the
subcontract results from the bad faith or discriminatory action of the
Contractor (e.g., the failure of the Contractor to make timely
payments or the unnecessary placing of obstacles in the path of the
DBE’s Work).
Decertification
When a DBE is “decertified” from the DBE program during the course of the
Contract, the participation of that DBE shall continue to count as DBE
participation as long as the subcontract with the DBE was executed prior to
the decertification notice. The Contractor is obligated to substitute when a
DBE does not have an executed subcontract agreement at the time of
decertification.
Consequences of Non-Compliance
Breach of Contract
Each contract with a Contractor (and each subcontract the Contractor signs
with a Subcontractor) must include the following assurance clause:
The Contractor, subrecipient, or Subcontractor shall not discriminate on the
basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the performance of this contract.
The Contractor shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 CFR Part 26 in
the award and administration of DOT-assisted contracts. Failure by the
Contractor to carry out these requirements is a material breach of this
Contract, which may result in the termination of this Contract or such other
remedy as the recipient deems appropriate, which may include, but is not
limited to:
(1) Withholding monthly progress payments;
(2) Assessing sanctions;
(3) Liquidated damages; and/or
(4) Disqualifying the Contractor from future bidding as non-responsible.
Notice
If the Contractor or any Subcontractor, Consultant, Regular Dealer, or service
provider is deemed to be in non-compliance, the Contractor will be informed
in writing, by certified mail by the Engineer that sanctions will be imposed for
failure to meet the DBE COA Commitment and/or submit documentation of
good faith efforts. The notice will state the specific sanctions to be imposed
which may include impacting a Contractor or other entity’s ability to
participate in future contracts.
Sanctions
If it is determined that the Contractor’s failure to meet all or part of the DBE COA
Commitment is due to the Contractor’s inadequate good faith efforts throughout
the life of the Contract, including failure to submit timely, required Good Faith

architectural service contracts.
In addition, the contractor and all subcontractors must comply with the following policies:
Executive Order 11246, 41 CFR 60, 29 CFR 1625-1627, Title 23 USC Section 140, the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended (29 USC 794), Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as
amended, and related regulations including 49 CFR Parts 21, 26 and 27; and 23 CFR Parts

Note: The U.S. Department of Labor has exclusive authority to determine compliance with
Executive Order 11246 and the policies of the Secretary of Labor including 41 CFR 60, and 29
CFR 1625-1627. The contracting agency and the FHWA have the authority and the
responsibility to ensure compliance with Title 23 USC Section 140, the Rehabilitation Act of
1973, as amended (29 USC 794), and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, and
related regulations including 49 CFR Parts 21, 26 and 27; and 23 CFR Parts 200, 230, and 633.
The following provision is adopted from 23 CFR 230, Appendix A, with appropriate revisions to
conform to the U.S. Department of Labor (US DOL) and FHWA requirements.
1. Equal Employment Opportunity: Equal employment opportunity (EEO) requirements not to
discriminate and to take affirmative action to assure equal opportunity as set forth under laws,
executive orders, rules, regulations (28 CFR 35, 29 CFR 1630, 29 CFR 1625-1627, 41 CFR 60
and 49 CFR 27) and orders of the Secretary of Labor as modified by the provisions prescribed
herein, and imposed pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 140 shall constitute the EEO and specific affirmative
action standards for the contractor's project activities under this contract. The provisions of the
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq.) set forth under 28 CFR 35
and 29 CFR 1630 are incorporated by reference in this contract. In the execution of this
3
contract, the contractor agrees to comply with the following minimum specific requirement
activities of EEO:
a. The contractor will work with the contracting agency and the Federal Government to ensure
that it has made every good faith effort to provide equal opportunity with respect to all of its
terms and conditions of employment and in their review of activities under the contract.
b. The contractor will accept as its operating policy the following statement:
"It is the policy of this Company to assure that applicants are employed, and that employees
are treated during employment, without regard to their race, religion, sex, color, national origin,
age or disability. Such action shall include: employment, upgrading, demotion, or transfer;
recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of
compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship, pre-apprenticeship, and/or
on-the-job training."
2. EEO Officer: The contractor will designate and make known to the contracting officers an
EEO Officer who will have the responsibility for and must be capable of effectively administering
and promoting an active EEO program and who must be assigned adequate authority and
responsibility to do so.
3. Dissemination of Policy: All members of the contractor's staff who are authorized to hire,
supervise, promote, and discharge employees, or who recommend such action, or who are
substantially involved in such action, will be made fully cognizant of, and will implement, the
contractor's EEO policy and contractual responsibilities to provide EEO in each grade and
classification of employment. To ensure that the above agreement will be met, the following
actions will be taken as a minimum:
a. Periodic meetings of supervisory and personnel office employees will be conducted before
the start of work and then not less often than once every six months, at which time the
contractor's EEO policy and its implementation will be reviewed and explained. The meetings
will be conducted by the EEO Officer.
b. All new supervisory or personnel office employees will be given a thorough indoctrination
by the EEO Officer, covering all major aspects of the contractor's EEO obligations within thirty
days following their reporting for duty with the contractor.
c. All personnel who are engaged in direct recruitment for the project will be instructed by the
EEO Officer in the contractor's procedures for locating and hiring minorities and women.
d. Notices and posters setting forth the contractor's EEO policy will be placed in areas readily
accessible to employees, applicants for employment and potential employees.
e. The contractor's EEO policy and the procedures to implement such policy will be brought to
the attention of employees by means of meetings, employee handbooks, or other appropriate
means.
4. Recruitment: When advertising for employees, the contractor will include in all
advertisements for employees the notation: "An Equal Opportunity Employer." All such
advertisements will be placed in publications having a large circulation among minorities and
women in the area from which the project work force would normally be derived.
4
a. The contractor will, unless precluded by a valid bargaining agreement, conduct systematic
and direct recruitment through public and private employee referral sources likely to yield
qualified minorities and women. To meet this requirement, the contractor will identify sources of
potential minority group employees, and establish with such identified sources procedures
whereby minority and women applicants may be referred to the contractor for employment
consideration.
b. In the event the contractor has a valid bargaining agreement providing for exclusive hiring
hall referrals, the contractor is expected to observe the provisions of that agreement to the
extent that the system meets the contractor's compliance with EEO contract provisions. Where
implementation of such an agreement has the effect of discriminating against minorities or
women, or obligates the contractor to do the same, such implementation violates Federal
nondiscrimination provisions.
c. The contractor will encourage its present employees to refer minorities and women as
applicants for employment. Information and procedures with regard to referring such applicants
will be discussed with employees.
5. Personnel Actions: Wages, working conditions, and employee benefits shall be established
and administered, and personnel actions of every type, including hiring, upgrading, promotion,
transfer, demotion, layoff, and termination, shall be taken without regard to race, color, religion,
sex, national origin, age or disability. The following procedures shall be followed:
a. The contractor will conduct periodic inspections of project sites to insure that working
conditions and employee facilities do not indicate discriminatory treatment of project site
personnel.
b. The contractor will periodically evaluate the spread of wages paid within each classification
to determine any evidence of discriminatory wage practices.
c. The contractor will periodically review selected personnel actions in depth to determine
whether there is evidence of discrimination. Where evidence is found, the contractor will
promptly take corrective action. If the review indicates that the discrimination may extend
beyond the actions reviewed, such corrective action shall include all affected persons.
d. The contractor will promptly investigate all complaints of alleged discrimination made to the
contractor in connection with its obligations under this contract, will attempt to resolve such
complaints, and will take appropriate corrective action within a reasonable time. If the
investigation indicates that the discrimination may affect persons other than the complainant,
such corrective action shall include such other persons. Upon completion of each investigation,
the contractor will inform every complainant of all of their avenues of appeal.
6. Training and Promotion:
a. The contractor will assist in locating, qualifying, and increasing the skills of minorities and
women who are applicants for employment or current employees. Such efforts should be aimed
at developing full journey level status employees in the type of trade or job classification
involved.
5
b. Consistent with the contractor's work force requirements and as permissible under Federal
and State regulations, the contractor shall make full use of training programs, i.e.,
apprenticeship, and on-the-job training programs for the geographical area of contract
performance. In the event a special provision for training is provided under this contract, this
subparagraph will be superseded as indicated in the special provision. The contracting agency
may reserve training positions for persons who receive welfare assistance in accordance with
23 U.S.C. 140(a).
c. The contractor will advise employees and applicants for employment of available training
programs and entrance requirements for each.
d. The contractor will periodically review the training and promotion potential of employees
who are minorities and women and will encourage eligible employees to apply for such training
and promotion.
7. Unions: If the contractor relies in whole or in part upon unions as a source of employees, the
contractor will use good faith efforts to obtain the cooperation of such unions to increase
opportunities for minorities and women. Actions by the contractor, either directly or through a
contractor's association acting as agent, will include the procedures set forth below:
a. The contractor will use good faith efforts to develop, in cooperation with the unions, joint
training programs aimed toward qualifying more minorities and women for membership in the
unions and increasing the skills of minorities and women so that they may qualify for higher
paying employment.
b. The contractor will use good faith efforts to incorporate an EEO clause into each union
agreement to the end that such union will be contractually bound to refer applicants without
regard to their race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age or disability.
c. The contractor is to obtain information as to the referral practices and policies of the labor
union except that to the extent such information is within the exclusive possession of the labor
union and such labor union refuses to furnish such information to the contractor, the contractor
shall so certify to the contracting agency and shall set forth what efforts have been made to
obtain such information.
d. In the event the union is unable to provide the contractor with a reasonable flow of referrals
within the time limit set forth in the collective bargaining agreement, the contractor will, through
independent recruitment efforts, fill the employment vacancies without regard to race, color,
religion, sex, national origin, age or disability; making full efforts to obtain qualified and/or
qualifiable minorities and women. The failure of a union to provide sufficient referrals (even
though it is obligated to provide exclusive referrals under the terms of a collective bargaining
agreement) does not relieve the contractor from the requirements of this paragraph. In the
event the union referral practice prevents the contractor from meeting the obligations pursuant
to Executive Order 11246, as amended, and these special provisions, such contractor shall
immediately notify the contracting agency.
8. Reasonable Accommodation for Applicants / Employees with Disabilities: The
contractor must be familiar with the requirements for and comply with the Americans with
Disabilities Act and all rules and regulations established there under. Employers must provide
reasonable accommodation in all employment activities unless to do so would cause an undue
hardship.
6
9. Selection of Subcontractors, Procurement of Materials and Leasing of Equipment: The
contractor shall not discriminate on the grounds of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age
or disability in the selection and retention of subcontractors, including procurement of materials
and leases of equipment. The contractor shall take all necessary and reasonable steps to
ensure nondiscrimination in the administration of this contract.
a. The contractor shall notify all potential subcontractors and suppliers and lessors of their
EEO obligations under this contract.
b. The contractor will use good faith efforts to ensure subcontractor compliance with their
EEO obligations.
10. Assurance Required by 49 CFR 26.13(b):
a. The requirements of 49 CFR Part 26 and the State DOT’s U.S. DOT-approved DBE
program are incorporated by reference.
b. The contractor or subcontractor shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national
origin, or sex in the performance of this contract. The contractor shall carry out applicable
requirements of 49 CFR Part 26 in the award and administration of DOT-assisted contracts.
Failure by the contractor to carry out these requirements is a material breach of this contract,
which may result in the termination of this contract or such other remedy as the contracting
agency deems appropriate.
11. Records and Reports: The contractor shall keep such records as necessary to document
compliance with the EEO requirements. Such records shall be retained for a period of three
years following the date of the final payment to the contractor for all contract work and shall be
available at reasonable times and places for inspection by authorized representatives of the
contracting agency and the FHWA.
a. The records kept by the contractor shall document the following:
(1) The number and work hours of minority and non-minority group members and women
employed in each work classification on the project;
(2) The progress and efforts being made in cooperation with unions, when applicable, to
increase employment opportunities for minorities and women; and
(3) The progress and efforts being made in locating, hiring, training, qualifying, and
upgrading minorities and women;
b. The contractors and subcontractors will submit an annual report to the contracting agency
each July for the duration of the project, indicating the number of minority, women, and non-
minority group employees currently engaged in each work classification required by the contract
work. This information is to be reported on Form FHWA-1391. The staffing data should
represent the project work force on board in all or any part of the last payroll period preceding
the end of July. If on-the-job training is being required by special provision, the contractor will
be required to collect and report training data. The employment data should reflect the work
force on board during all or any part of the last payroll period preceding the end of July.
7
III. NONSEGREGATED FACILITIES
This provision is applicable to all Federal-aid construction contracts and to all related
construction subcontracts of $10,000 or more.
The contractor must ensure that facilities provided for employees are provided in such a manner
that segregation on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin cannot result. The
contractor may neither require such segregated use by written or oral policies nor tolerate such
use by employee custom. The contractor's obligation extends further to ensure that its
employees are not assigned to perform their services at any location, under the contractor's
control, where the facilities are segregated. The term "facilities" includes waiting rooms, work
areas, restaurants and other eating areas, time clocks, restrooms, washrooms, locker rooms,
and other storage or dressing areas, parking lots, drinking fountains, recreation or entertainment
areas, transportation, and housing provided for employees. The contractor shall provide
separate or single-user restrooms and necessary dressing or sleeping areas to assure privacy
between sexes.
IV. DAVIS-BACON AND RELATED ACT PROVISIONS
This section is applicable to all Federal-aid construction projects exceeding $2,000 and to all
related subcontracts and lower-tier subcontracts (regardless of subcontract size). The
requirements apply to all projects located within the right-of-way of a roadway that is functionally
classified as Federal-aid highway. This excludes roadways functionally classified as local roads
or rural minor collectors, which are exempt. Contracting agencies may elect to apply these
requirements to other projects.
The following provisions are from the U.S. Department of Labor regulations in 29 CFR 5.5
“Contract provisions and related matters” with minor revisions to conform to the FHWA-1273
format and FHWA program requirements.
1. Minimum wages
a. All laborers and mechanics employed or working upon the site of the work, will be paid
unconditionally and not less often than once a week, and without subsequent deduction or
rebate on any account (except such payroll deductions as are permitted by regulations issued
by the Secretary of Labor under the Copeland Act (29 CFR part 3)), the full amount of wages
and bona fide fringe benefits (or cash equivalents thereof) due at time of payment computed at
rates not less than those contained in the wage determination of the Secretary of Labor which is
attached hereto and made a part hereof, regardless of any contractual relationship which may
be alleged to exist between the contractor and such laborers and mechanics.
Contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits under section
1(b)(2) of the Davis-Bacon Act on behalf of laborers or mechanics are considered wages paid to
such laborers or mechanics, subject to the provisions of paragraph 1.d. of this section; also,
regular contributions made or costs incurred for more than a weekly period (but not less often
than quarterly) under plans, funds, or programs which cover the particular weekly period, are
deemed to be constructively made or incurred during such weekly period. Such laborers and
8
mechanics shall be paid the appropriate wage rate and fringe benefits on the wage
determination for the classification of work actually performed, without regard to skill, except as
provided in 29 CFR 5.5(a)(4). Laborers or mechanics performing work in more than one
classification may be compensated at the rate specified for each classification for the time
actually worked therein: Provided, That the employer's payroll records accurately set forth the
time spent in each classification in which work is performed. The wage determination (including
any additional classification and wage rates conformed under paragraph 1.b. of this section) and
the Davis-Bacon poster (WH–1321) shall be posted at all times by the contractor and its
subcontractors at the site of the work in a prominent and accessible place where it can be easily
seen by the workers.
b. (1) The contracting officer shall require that any class of laborers or mechanics, including
helpers, which is not listed in the wage determination and which is to be employed under the
contract shall be classified in conformance with the wage determination. The contracting officer
shall approve an additional classification and wage rate and fringe benefits therefore only when
the following criteria have been met:
(i) The work to be performed by the classification requested is not performed by a
classification in the wage determination; and
(ii) The classification is utilized in the area by the construction industry; and
(iii) The proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a reasonable
relationship to the wage rates contained in the wage determination.
(2) If the contractor and the laborers and mechanics to be employed in the classification (if
known), or their representatives, and the contracting officer agree on the classification and
wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits where appropriate), a report of
the action taken shall be sent by the contracting officer to the Administrator of the Wage and
Hour Division, Employment Standards Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, Washington,
DC 20210. The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will approve, modify, or
disapprove every additional classification action within 30 days of receipt and so advise the
contracting officer or will notify the contracting officer within the 30-day period that additional
time is necessary.
(3) In the event the contractor, the laborers or mechanics to be employed in the classification
or their representatives, and the contracting officer do not agree on the proposed classification
and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits, where appropriate), the
contracting officer shall refer the questions, including the views of all interested parties and the
recommendation of the contracting officer, to the Wage and Hour Administrator for
determination. The Wage and Hour Administrator, or an authorized representative, will issue a
determination within 30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting officer or will notify the
contracting officer within the 30-day period that additional time is necessary.
(4) The wage rate (including fringe benefits where appropriate) determined pursuant to
paragraphs 1.b.(2) or 1.b.(3) of this section, shall be paid to all workers performing work in the
classification under this contract from the first day on which work is performed in the
classification.
9
c. Whenever the minimum wage rate prescribed in the contract for a class of laborers or
mechanics includes a fringe benefit which is not expressed as an hourly rate, the contractor
shall either pay the benefit as stated in the wage determination or shall pay another bona fide
fringe benefit or an hourly cash equivalent thereof.
d. If the contractor does not make payments to a trustee or other third person, the contractor
may consider as part of the wages of any laborer or mechanic the amount of any costs
reasonably anticipated in providing bona fide fringe benefits under a plan or program, Provided,
That the Secretary of Labor has found, upon the written request of the contractor, that the
applicable standards of the Davis-Bacon Act have been met. The Secretary of Labor may
require the contractor to set aside in a separate account assets for the meeting of obligations
under the plan or program.
2. Withholding
The contracting agency shall upon its own action or upon written request of an authorized
representative of the Department of Labor, withhold or cause to be withheld from the contractor
under this contract, or any other Federal contract with the same prime contractor, or any other
federally-assisted contract subject to Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements, which is held
by the same prime contractor, so much of the accrued payments or advances as may be
considered necessary to pay laborers and mechanics, including apprentices, trainees, and
helpers, employed by the contractor or any subcontractor the full amount of wages required by
the contract. In the event of failure to pay any laborer or mechanic, including any apprentice,
trainee, or helper, employed or working on the site of the work, all or part of the wages required
by the contract, the contracting agency may, after written notice to the contractor, take such
action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or
guarantee of funds until such violations have ceased.
3. Payrolls and basic records
a. Payrolls and basic records relating thereto shall be maintained by the contractor during the
course of the work and preserved for a period of three years thereafter for all laborers and
mechanics working at the site of the work. Such records shall contain the name, address, and
social security number of each such worker, his or her correct classification, hourly rates of
wages paid (including rates of contributions or costs anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits or
cash equivalents thereof of the types described in section 1(b)(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act),
daily and weekly number of hours worked, deductions made and actual wages paid. Whenever
the Secretary of Labor has found under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iv) that the wages of any laborer or
mechanic include the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing benefits under a
plan or program described in section 1(b)(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act, the contractor shall
maintain records which show that the commitment to provide such benefits is enforceable, that
the plan or program is financially responsible, and that the plan or program has been
communicated in writing to the laborers or mechanics affected, and records which show the
costs anticipated or the actual cost incurred in providing such benefits. Contractors employing
apprentices or trainees under approved programs shall maintain written evidence of the
registration of apprenticeship programs and certification of trainee programs, the registration of
the apprentices and trainees, and the ratios and wage rates prescribed in the applicable
programs.
10
b. (1) The contractor shall submit weekly for each week in which any contract work is
performed a copy of all payrolls to the contracting agency. The payrolls submitted shall set out
accurately and completely all of the information required to be maintained under 29 CFR
5.5(a)(3)(i), except that full social security numbers and home addresses shall not be included
on weekly transmittals. Instead the payrolls shall only need to include an individually identifying
number for each employee ( e.g. , the last four digits of the employee's social security number).
The required weekly payroll information may be submitted in any form desired. Optional Form
WH–347 is available for this purpose from the Wage and Hour Division Web site at
http://www.dol.gov/esa/whd/forms/wh347instr.htm or its successor site. The prime contractor is
responsible for the submission of copies of payrolls by all subcontractors. Contractors and
subcontractors shall maintain the full social security number and current address of each
covered worker, and shall provide them upon request to the contracting agency for transmission
to the State DOT, the FHWA or the Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor for
purposes of an investigation or audit of compliance with prevailing wage requirements. It is not a
violation of this section for a prime contractor to require a subcontractor to provide addresses
and social security numbers to the prime contractor for its own records, without weekly
submission to the contracting agency..
(2) Each payroll submitted shall be accompanied by a “Statement of Compliance,” signed by the
contractor or subcontractor or his or her agent who pays or supervises the payment of the
persons employed under the contract and shall certify the following:
(i) That the payroll for the payroll period contains the information required to be provided
under §5.5 (a)(3)(ii) of Regulations, 29 CFR part 5, the appropriate information is being
maintained under §5.5 (a)(3)(i) of Regulations, 29 CFR part 5, and that such information is
correct and complete;
(ii) That each laborer or mechanic (including each helper, apprentice, and trainee)
employed on the contract during the payroll period has been paid the full weekly wages
earned, without rebate, either directly or indirectly, and that no deductions have been made
either directly or indirectly from the full wages earned, other than permissible deductions as
set forth in Regulations, 29 CFR part 3;
(iii) That each laborer or mechanic has been paid not less than the applicable wage rates
and fringe benefits or cash equivalents for the classification of work performed, as specified
in the applicable wage determination incorporated into the contract.
(3) The weekly submission of a properly executed certification set forth on the reverse side of
Optional Form WH–347 shall satisfy the requirement for submission of the “Statement of
Compliance” required by paragraph 3.b.(2) of this section.
(4) The falsification of any of the above certifications may subject the contractor or
subcontractor to civil or criminal prosecution under section 1001 of title 18 and section 231 of
title 31 of the United States Code.
c. The contractor or subcontractor shall make the records required under paragraph 3.a. of this
section available for inspection, copying, or transcription by authorized representatives of the
contracting agency, the State DOT, the FHWA, or the Department of Labor, and shall permit
such representatives to interview employees during working hours on the job. If the contractor
or subcontractor fails to submit the required records or to make them available, the FHWA may,
11
after written notice to the contractor, the contracting agency or the State DOT, take such action
as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of
funds. Furthermore, failure to submit the required records upon request or to make such records
available may be grounds for debarment action pursuant to 29 CFR 5.12.
4. Apprentices and trainees
a. Apprentices (programs of the USDOL).
Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work they
performed when they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a bona fide
apprenticeship program registered with the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and
Training Administration, Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services, or with
a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Office, or if a person is employed in his or her
first 90 days of probationary employment as an apprentice in such an apprenticeship program,
who is not individually registered in the program, but who has been certified by the Office of
Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services or a State Apprenticeship Agency
(where appropriate) to be eligible for probationary employment as an apprentice.
The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeymen on the job site in any craft classification shall
not be greater than the ratio permitted to the contractor as to the entire work force under the
registered program. Any worker listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who is not
registered or otherwise employed as stated above, shall be paid not less than the applicable
wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In
addition, any apprentice performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under
the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage
determination for the work actually performed. Where a contractor is performing construction on
a project in a locality other than that in which its program is registered, the ratios and wage rates
(expressed in percentages of the journeyman's hourly rate) specified in the contractor's or
subcontractor's registered program shall be observed.
Every apprentice must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the registered program for
the apprentice's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeymen hourly rate
specified in the applicable wage determination. Apprentices shall be paid fringe benefits in
accordance with the provisions of the apprenticeship program. If the apprenticeship program
does not specify fringe benefits, apprentices must be paid the full amount of fringe benefits
listed on the wage determination for the applicable classification. If the Administrator determines
that a different practice prevails for the applicable apprentice classification, fringes shall be paid
in accordance with that determination.
In the event the Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services, or a State
Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Office, withdraws approval of an apprenticeship
program, the contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize apprentices at less than the
applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved.
b. Trainees (programs of the USDOL).
Except as provided in 29 CFR 5.16, trainees will not be permitted to work at less than the
predetermined rate for the work performed unless they are employed pursuant to and
12
individually registered in a program which has received prior approval, evidenced by formal
certification by the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration.
The ratio of trainees to journeymen on the job site shall not be greater than permitted under the
plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration.
Every trainee must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the approved program for the
trainee's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeyman hourly rate specified
in the applicable wage determination. Trainees shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with
the provisions of the trainee program. If the trainee program does not mention fringe benefits,
trainees shall be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination unless
the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division determines that there is an apprenticeship
program associated with the corresponding journeyman wage rate on the wage determination
which provides for less than full fringe benefits for apprentices. Any employee listed on the
payroll at a trainee rate who is not registered and participating in a training plan approved by the
Employment and Training Administration shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on
the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any trainee
performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program
shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work
actually performed.
In the event the Employment and Training Administration withdraws approval of a training
program, the contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize trainees at less than the applicable
predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved.
c. Equal employment opportunity. The utilization of apprentices, trainees and journeymen
under this part shall be in conformity with the equal employment opportunity requirements of
Executive Order 11246, as amended, and 29 CFR part 30.
d. Apprentices and Trainees (programs of the U.S. DOT).
Apprentices and trainees working under apprenticeship and skill training programs which have
been certified by the Secretary of Transportation as promoting EEO in connection with Federal-
aid highway construction programs are not subject to the requirements of paragraph 4 of this
Section IV. The straight time hourly wage rates for apprentices and trainees under such
programs will be established by the particular programs. The ratio of apprentices and trainees to
journeymen shall not be greater than permitted by the terms of the particular program.
5. Compliance with Copeland Act requirements. The contractor shall comply with the
requirements of 29 CFR part 3, which are incorporated by reference in this contract.
6. Subcontracts. The contractor or subcontractor shall insert Form FHWA-1273 in any
subcontracts and also require the subcontractors to include Form FHWA-1273 in any lower tier
subcontracts. The prime contractor shall be responsible for the compliance by any
subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor with all the contract clauses in 29 CFR 5.5.
7. Contract termination: debarment. A breach of the contract clauses in 29 CFR 5.5 may be
grounds for termination of the contract, and for debarment as a contractor and a subcontractor
as provided in 29 CFR 5.12.
13
8. Compliance with Davis-Bacon and Related Act requirements. All rulings and
interpretations of the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts contained in 29 CFR parts 1, 3, and 5 are
herein incorporated by reference in this contract.
9. Disputes concerning labor standards. Disputes arising out of the labor standards
provisions of this contract shall not be subject to the general disputes clause of this contract.
Such disputes shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures of the Department of Labor
set forth in 29 CFR parts 5, 6, and 7. Disputes within the meaning of this clause include disputes
between the contractor (or any of its subcontractors) and the contracting agency, the U.S.
Department of Labor, or the employees or their representatives.
10. Certification of eligibility.
a. By entering into this contract, the contractor certifies that neither it (nor he or she) nor any
person or firm who has an interest in the contractor's firm is a person or firm ineligible to be
awarded Government contracts by virtue of section 3(a) of the Davis-Bacon Act or 29 CFR
5.12(a)(1).
b. No part of this contract shall be subcontracted to any person or firm ineligible for award of a
Government contract by virtue of section 3(a) of the Davis-Bacon Act or 29 CFR 5.12(a)(1).
c. The penalty for making false statements is prescribed in the U.S. Criminal Code, 18 U.S.C.
1001.
V. CONTRACT WORK HOURS AND SAFETY STANDARDS ACT
The following clauses apply to any Federal-aid construction contract in an amount in excess of
$100,000 and subject to the overtime provisions of the Contract Work Hours and Safety
Standards Act. These clauses shall be inserted in addition to the clauses required by 29 CFR
5.5(a) or 29 CFR 4.6. As used in this paragraph, the terms laborers and mechanics include
watchmen and guards.
1. Overtime requirements. No contractor or subcontractor contracting for any part of the
contract work which may require or involve the employment of laborers or mechanics shall
require or permit any such laborer or mechanic in any workweek in which he or she is employed
on such work to work in excess of forty hours in such workweek unless such laborer or
mechanic receives compensation at a rate not less than one and one-half times the basic rate of
pay for all hours worked in excess of forty hours in such workweek.
2. Violation; liability for unpaid wages; liquidated damages. In the event of any violation of
the clause set forth in paragraph (1.) of this section, the contractor and any subcontractor
responsible therefor shall be liable for the unpaid wages. In addition, such contractor and
subcontractor shall be liable to the United States (in the case of work done under contract for
the District of Columbia or a territory, to such District or to such territory), for liquidated
damages. Such liquidated damages shall be computed with respect to each individual laborer or
mechanic, including watchmen and guards, employed in violation of the clause set forth in
paragraph (1.) of this section, in the sum of $10 for each calendar day on which such individual
14
was required or permitted to work in excess of the standard workweek of forty hours without
payment of the overtime wages required by the clause set forth in paragraph (1.) of this section.
3. Withholding for unpaid wages and liquidated damages. The FHWA or the contacting
agency shall upon its own action or upon written request of an authorized representative of the
Department of Labor withhold or cause to be withheld, from any moneys payable on account of
work performed by the contractor or subcontractor under any such contract or any other Federal
contract with the same prime contractor, or any other federally-assisted contract subject to the
Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, which is held by the same prime contractor,
such sums as may be determined to be necessary to satisfy any liabilities of such contractor or
subcontractor for unpaid wages and liquidated damages as provided in the clause set forth in
paragraph (2.) of this section.
4. Subcontracts. The contractor or subcontractor shall insert in any subcontracts the clauses
set forth in paragraph (1.) through (4.) of this section and also a clause requiring the
subcontractors to include these clauses in any lower tier subcontracts. The prime contractor
shall be responsible for compliance by any subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor with the
clauses set forth in paragraphs (1.) through (4.) of this section.
VI. SUBLETTING OR ASSIGNING THE CONTRACT
This provision is applicable to all Federal-aid construction contracts on the National Highway
System.
1. The contractor shall perform with its own organization contract work amounting to not less
than 30 percent (or a greater percentage if specified elsewhere in the contract) of the total
original contract price, excluding any specialty items designated by the contracting agency.
Specialty items may be performed by subcontract and the amount of any such specialty items
performed may be deducted from the total original contract price before computing the amount
of work required to be performed by the contractor's own organization (23 CFR 635.116).
a. The term “perform work with its own organization” refers to workers employed or leased by
the prime contractor, and equipment owned or rented by the prime contractor, with or without
operators. Such term does not include employees or equipment of a subcontractor or lower tier
subcontractor, agents of the prime contractor, or any other assignees. The term may include
payments for the costs of hiring leased employees from an employee leasing firm meeting all
relevant Federal and State regulatory requirements. Leased employees may only be included
in this term if the prime contractor meets all of the following conditions:
(1) the prime contractor maintains control over the supervision of the day-to-day activities of
the leased employees;
(2) the prime contractor remains responsible for the quality of the work of the leased
employees;
(3) the prime contractor retains all power to accept or exclude individual employees from
work on the project; and
15
(4) the prime contractor remains ultimately responsible for the payment of predetermined
minimum wages, the submission of payrolls, statements of compliance and all other Federal
regulatory requirements.
b. "Specialty Items" shall be construed to be limited to work that requires highly specialized
knowledge, abilities, or equipment not ordinarily available in the type of contracting
organizations qualified and expected to bid or propose on the contract as a whole and in
general are to be limited to minor components of the overall contract.
2. The contract amount upon which the requirements set forth in paragraph (1) of Section VI is
computed includes the cost of material and manufactured products which are to be purchased
or produced by the contractor under the contract provisions.
3. The contractor shall furnish (a) a competent superintendent or supervisor who is employed by
the firm, has full authority to direct performance of the work in accordance with the contract
requirements, and is in charge of all construction operations (regardless of who performs the
work) and (b) such other of its own organizational resources (supervision, management, and
engineering services) as the contracting officer determines is necessary to assure the
performance of the contract.
4. No portion of the contract shall be sublet, assigned or otherwise disposed of except with the
written consent of the contracting officer, or authorized representative, and such consent when
given shall not be construed to relieve the contractor of any responsibility for the fulfillment of
the contract. Written consent will be given only after the contracting agency has assured that
each subcontract is evidenced in writing and that it contains all pertinent provisions and
requirements of the prime contract.
5. The 30% self-performance requirement of paragraph (1) is not applicable to design-build
contracts; however, contracting agencies may establish their own self-performance
requirements.
VII. SAFETY: ACCIDENT PREVENTION
This provision is applicable to all Federal-aid construction contracts and to all related
subcontracts.
1. In the performance of this contract the contractor shall comply with all applicable Federal,
State, and local laws governing safety, health, and sanitation (23 CFR 635). The contractor shall
provide all safeguards, safety devices and protective equipment and take any other needed
actions as it determines, or as the contracting officer may determine, to be reasonably
necessary to protect the life and health of employees on the job and the safety of the public and
to protect property in connection with the performance of the work covered by the contract.
2. It is a condition of this contract, and shall be made a condition of each subcontract, which the
contractor enters into pursuant to this contract, that the contractor and any subcontractor shall
not permit any employee, in performance of the contract, to work in surroundings or under
conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous or dangerous to his/her health or safety, as
determined under construction safety and health standards (29 CFR 1926) promulgated by the
Secretary of Labor, in accordance with Section 107 of the Contract Work Hours and Safety
Standards Act (40 U.S.C. 3704).
16
3. Pursuant to 29 CFR 1926.3, it is a condition of this contract that the Secretary of Labor or
authorized representative thereof, shall have right of entry to any site of contract performance to
inspect or investigate the matter of compliance with the construction safety and health
standards and to carry out the duties of the Secretary under Section 107 of the Contract Work
Hours and Safety Standards Act (40 U.S.C.3704).
VIII. FALSE STATEMENTS CONCERNING HIGHWAY PROJECTS
This provision is applicable to all Federal-aid construction contracts and to all related
subcontracts.
In order to assure high quality and durable construction in conformity with approved plans and
specifications and a high degree of reliability on statements and representations made by
engineers, contractors, suppliers, and workers on Federal-aid highway projects, it is essential
that all persons concerned with the project perform their functions as carefully, thoroughly, and
honestly as possible. Willful falsification, distortion, or misrepresentation with respect to any
facts related to the project is a violation of Federal law. To prevent any misunderstanding
regarding the seriousness of these and similar acts, Form FHWA-1022 shall be posted on each
Federal-aid highway project (23 CFR 635) in one or more places where it is readily available to
all persons concerned with the project:
18 U.S.C. 1020 reads as follows:
"Whoever, being an officer, agent, or employee of the United States, or of any State or
Territory, or whoever, whether a person, association, firm, or corporation, knowingly makes any
false statement, false representation, or false report as to the character, quality, quantity, or cost
of the material used or to be used, or the quantity or quality of the work performed or to be
performed, or the cost thereof in connection with the submission of plans, maps, specifications,
contracts, or costs of construction on any highway or related project submitted for approval to
the Secretary of Transportation; or
Whoever knowingly makes any false statement, false representation, false report or false claim
with respect to the character, quality, quantity, or cost of any work performed or to be
performed, or materials furnished or to be furnished, in connection with the construction of any
highway or related project approved by the Secretary of Transportation; or
Whoever knowingly makes any false statement or false representation as to material fact in
any statement, certificate, or report submitted pursuant to provisions of the Federal-aid Roads
Act approved July 1, 1916, (39 Stat. 355), as amended and supplemented;
Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 5 years or both."
IX. IMPLEMENTATION OF CLEAN AIR ACT AND FEDERAL WATER POLLUTION
CONTROL ACT
This provision is applicable to all Federal-aid construction contracts and to all related
subcontracts.
17
By submission of this bid/proposal or the execution of this contract, or subcontract, as
appropriate, the bidder, proposer, Federal-aid construction contractor, or subcontractor, as
appropriate, will be deemed to have stipulated as follows:
1. That any person who is or will be utilized in the performance of this contract is not prohibited
from receiving an award due to a violation of Section 508 of the Clean Water Act or Section 306
of the Clean Air Act.
2. That the contractor agrees to include or cause to be included the requirements of paragraph
(1) of this Section X in every subcontract, and further agrees to take such action as the
contracting agency may direct as a means of enforcing such requirements.
X. CERTIFICATION REGARDING DEBARMENT, SUSPENSION, INELIGIBILITY AND
VOLUNTARY EXCLUSION
This provision is applicable to all Federal-aid construction contracts, design-build contracts,
subcontracts, lower-tier subcontracts, purchase orders, lease agreements, consultant contracts
or any other covered transaction requiring FHWA approval or that is estimated to cost $25,000
or more – as defined in 2 CFR Parts 180 and 1200.
1. Instructions for Certification – First Tier Participants:
a. By signing and submitting this proposal, the prospective first tier participant is providing the
certification set out below.
b. The inability of a person to provide the certification set out below will not necessarily result
in denial of participation in this covered transaction. The prospective first tier participant shall
submit an explanation of why it cannot provide the certification set out below. The certification or
explanation will be considered in connection with the department or agency's determination
whether to enter into this transaction. However, failure of the prospective first tier participant to
furnish a certification or an explanation shall disqualify such a person from participation in this
transaction.
c. The certification in this clause is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was
placed when the contracting agency determined to enter into this transaction. If it is later
determined that the prospective participant knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in
addition to other remedies available to the Federal Government, the contracting agency may
terminate this transaction for cause of default.
d. The prospective first tier participant shall provide immediate written notice to the
contracting agency to whom this proposal is submitted if any time the prospective first tier
participant learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous
by reason of changed circumstances.
e. The terms "covered transaction," "debarred," "suspended," "ineligible," "participant,"
"person," "principal," and "voluntarily excluded," as used in this clause, are defined in 2 CFR
Parts 180 and 1200. “First Tier Covered Transactions” refers to any covered transaction
between a grantee or subgrantee of Federal funds and a participant (such as the prime or
18
general contract). “Lower Tier Covered Transactions” refers to any covered transaction under a
First Tier Covered Transaction (such as subcontracts). “First Tier Participant” refers to the
participant who has entered into a covered transaction with a grantee or subgrantee of Federal
funds (such as the prime or general contractor). “Lower Tier Participant” refers any participant
who has entered into a covered transaction with a First Tier Participant or other Lower Tier
Participants (such as subcontractors and suppliers).
f. The prospective first tier participant agrees by submitting this proposal that, should the
proposed covered transaction be entered into, it shall not knowingly enter into any lower tier
covered transaction with a person who is debarred, suspended, declared ineligible, or
voluntarily excluded from participation in this covered transaction, unless authorized by the
department or agency entering into this transaction.
g. The prospective first tier participant further agrees by submitting this proposal that it will
include the clause titled "Certification Regarding Debarment, Suspension, Ineligibility and
Voluntary Exclusion-Lower Tier Covered Transactions," provided by the department or
contracting agency, entering into this covered transaction, without modification, in all lower tier
covered transactions and in all solicitations for lower tier covered transactions exceeding the
$25,000 threshold.
h. A participant in a covered transaction may rely upon a certification of a prospective
participant in a lower tier covered transaction that is not debarred, suspended, ineligible, or
voluntarily excluded from the covered transaction, unless it knows that the certification is
erroneous. A participant is responsible for ensuring that its principals are not suspended,
debarred, or otherwise ineligible to participate in covered transactions. To verify the eligibility of
its principals, as well as the eligibility of any lower tier prospective participants, each participant
may, but is not required to, check the Excluded Parties List System website
(https://www.epls.gov/), which is compiled by the General Services Administration.
i. Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require the establishment of a
system of records in order to render in good faith the certification required by this clause. The
knowledge and information of the prospective participant is not required to exceed that which is
normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings.
j. Except for transactions authorized under paragraph (f) of these instructions, if a participant
in a covered transaction knowingly enters into a lower tier covered transaction with a person
who is suspended, debarred, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in this
transaction, in addition to other remedies available to the Federal Government, the department
or agency may terminate this transaction for cause or default.
* * * * *
2. Certification Regarding Debarment, Suspension, Ineligibility and Voluntary Exclusion
– First Tier Participants:
a. The prospective first tier participant certifies to the best of its knowledge and belief, that it
and its principals:
(1) Are not presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, declared ineligible, or
voluntarily excluded from participating in covered transactions by any Federal department or
agency;
19
(2) Have not within a three-year period preceding this proposal been convicted of or had a
civil judgment rendered against them for commission of fraud or a criminal offense in connection
with obtaining, attempting to obtain, or performing a public (Federal, State or local) transaction
or contract under a public transaction; violation of Federal or State antitrust statutes or
commission of embezzlement, theft, forgery, bribery, falsification or destruction of records,
making false statements, or receiving stolen property;
(3) Are not presently indicted for or otherwise criminally or civilly charged by a governmental
entity (Federal, State or local) with commission of any of the offenses enumerated in paragraph
(a)(2) of this certification; and
(4) Have not within a three-year period preceding this application/proposal had one or more
public transactions (Federal, State or local) terminated for cause or default.
b. Where the prospective participant is unable to certify to any of the statements in this
certification, such prospective participant shall attach an explanation to this proposal.
2. Instructions for Certification - Lower Tier Participants:
(Applicable to all subcontracts, purchase orders and other lower tier transactions requiring prior
FHWA approval or estimated to cost $25,000 or more - 2 CFR Parts 180 and 1200)
a. By signing and submitting this proposal, the prospective lower tier is providing the
certification set out below.
b. The certification in this clause is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was
placed when this transaction was entered into. If it is later determined that the prospective 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.
c. The prospective lower tier participant shall provide immediate written notice to the person
to which this proposal is submitted if at any time the prospective lower tier participant learns that
its certification was erroneous by reason of changed circumstances.
d. The terms "covered transaction," "debarred," "suspended," "ineligible," "participant,"
"person," "principal," and "voluntarily excluded," as used in this clause, are defined in 2 CFR
Parts 180 and 1200. You may contact the person to which this proposal is submitted for
assistance in obtaining a copy of those regulations. “First Tier Covered Transactions” refers to
any covered transaction between a grantee or subgrantee of Federal funds and a participant
(such as the prime or general contract). “Lower Tier Covered Transactions” refers to any
covered transaction under a First Tier Covered Transaction (such as subcontracts). “First Tier
Participant” refers to the participant who has entered into a covered transaction with a grantee
or subgrantee of Federal funds (such as the prime or general contractor). “Lower Tier
Participant” refers any participant who has entered into a covered transaction with a First Tier
Participant or other Lower Tier Participants (such as subcontractors and suppliers).
e. The prospective lower tier participant agrees by submitting this proposal that, should the
proposed covered transaction be entered into, it shall not knowingly enter into any lower tier
covered transaction with a person who is debarred, suspended, declared ineligible, or
20
voluntarily excluded from participation in this covered transaction, unless authorized by the
department or agency with which this transaction originated.
f. The prospective lower tier participant further agrees by submitting this proposal that it will
include this clause titled "Certification Regarding Debarment, Suspension, Ineligibility and
Voluntary Exclusion-Lower Tier Covered Transaction," without modification, in all lower tier
covered transactions and in all solicitations for lower tier covered transactions exceeding the
$25,000 threshold.
g. A participant in a covered transaction may rely upon a certification of a prospective
