"Or -Equal": If in ENGINEER's sole discretion an item of material or equipment — proposed by CONTRACTOR is functionally equal to that named and sufficiently similar so that no change in related Work will be required, it may be considered by ENGINEER as an "or -equal" item, in which case review and approval of the proposed item may, in ENGINEER's sole discretion, be accomplished without compliance with some or all of the requirements for -- acceptance of proposed substitute items. 6.7.1.2. Substitute Items: If in ENGINEER's sole discretion an item of material or equipment proposed by CONTRACTOR does not qualify as an "or -equal" item under subparagraph 6.7.1.1, it will be considered a proposed substitute item.

The application will state the extent, if any, to which the evaluation and acceptance of the proposed substitute will — prejudice CONTRACTOR's achievement of Substantial Completion on time, whether or not acceptance of the substitute for use in the Work will require a change in any of the Contract —' Documents (or in the provisions of any other direct contract with OWNER for work on the Project) to adapt the design to the proposed substitute and whether or not incorporation or use of the substitute in connection with the Work is subject to payment of any license fee or royalty. All variations of the proposed substitute from that specified will be identified in the application and available maintenance, repair and replacement service will be indicated. The application will also contain an itemized estimate of all costs or credits that will result directly or indirectly from acceptance of such substitute, including costs of redesign and claims of other contractors affected by the resulting change, all of which will be considered by ENGINEER in evaluating the proposed substitute. ENGINEER may require CONTRACTOR to furnish additional data about the proposed substitute. 6.7.1.3. CONTRACTOR's Expense: All data to be provided by CONTRACTOR in support of any proposed "or -equal" or substitute item will be at CONTRACTOR's expense. 6.7.2. Substitute Construction Methods or Procedures: If a specific means, method, technique, sequence or procedure of construction is shown or indicated in and expressly required by the Contract Documents, CONTRACTOR may furnish or utilize a substitute means, method, technique, sequence or procedure of construction acceptable to ENGINEER. CONTRACTOR shall submit sufficient information to allow ENGINEER, in ENGINEER's sole discretion, to determine that the substitute proposed is equivalent to that expressly called for by the Contract Documents. The procedure for review by ENGINEER will be similar to that provided in subparagraph 6.7.1.2. 6.7.3. Engineer's Evaluation: ENGINEER will be allowed a reasonable time within which to evaluate each proposal or submittal made pursuant to paragraphs 6.7.1.2 and 6.7.2.

Other overhead or general expense costs of any kind and the costs of any item not specifically and expressly included in paragraph 11.4. 11.6. The CONTRACTORSs fee allowed to CONTRACTOR for overhead and profit shall be determined as follows: 11.6.1. a mutually acceptable fixed fee; or 11.6.2. if a fixed fee is not agreed upon, then a fee based on the following percentages of the various portions of the Cost of the Work: 11.6.2.1. for costs incurred under paragraphs 11.4.1 and 11.4.2, the CONTRACTOR's fee shall be fifteen percent; 11.6.2.2. for costs incurred under paragraph 11.4.3, the CONTRACTOR's fee shall be five percent; 11.6.2.3. where one or more tiers of subcontracts are on the basis of Cost of the Work plus a fee and no fixed fee is agreed upon, the intent of paragraphs 11.4.1, 11.4.2, 11.4.3 and 11.6.2 is that the Subcontractor who actually performs or furnishes the Work, at whatever tier, will be paid a fee of fifteen percent of the costs incurred by such Subcontractor under paragraphs 11.4.1 and 11.4.2 and that any higher tier Subcontractor and CONTRACTOR will each be paid a fee of five percent of the amount •a « " n l S beentra«or to be ne� eotiated in good faith with the OWNER but not to exceed five percent of the amount paid to the next lower tier Subcontractor. 11.6.2.4. no fee shall be payable on the basis of costs itemized under paragraphs 11.4.4, 11.4.5 and 11.5; 11.6.2.5. the amount of credit to be allowed by CONTRACTOR to OWNER for any change which results in a net decrease in cost will be the amount of the actual net decrease in cost plus a deduction in CONTRACTOR's fee by an amount equal to five percent of such net decrease; and 11.6.2.6. when both additions and credits are involved in any one change, the adjustment in CONTRACTOR's fee shall be computed on the basis of the net change in accordance with paragraphs 11.6.2.1 through 11.6.2.5, inclusive. 11.7. Whenever the cost of any Work is to be 25 determined pursuant to paragraphs 11.4 and 11.5, CONTRACTOR will establish and maintain records thereof in accordance with generally accepted accounting practices and submit in form acceptable to ENGINEER an itemized cost breakdown together with supporting data. Cash Allowances: 11.8. It is understood that CONTRACTOR has included in the Contract Price all allowances so named in the Contract Documents and shall cause the Work so covered to be furnished and performed for such sums as may be acceptable to OWNER and ENGINEER CONTRACTOR agrees that: 11.8.1. the allowances include the cost to CONTRACTOR (less any applicable trade discounts) of materials and equipment required by the allowances to be delivered at the site, and all applicable taxes; and 11.8.2. CONTRACTOR's costs for unloading and handling on the site, labor, installation costs, overhead, profit and other expenses contemplated for the allowances have been included in the Contract Price and not in the allowances and no demand for additional payment on account of any of the foregoing will be valid. Prior to final payment, an appropriate Change Order will be issued as recommended by ENGINEER to reflect actual amounts due CONTRACTOR on account of Work covered by allowances, and the Contract Price shalt be correspondingly adjusted. 11.9. Unit Price Work: 11.9.1. Where the Contract Documents provide that all or part of the Work is to be Unit Price Work, initially the Contract Price will be deemed to include for all Unit Price Work an amount equal to the sum of the established unit prices for each separately identified item of Unit Price Work times the estimated quantity of each item as indicated in the Agreement. The estimated quantities of items of Unit Price Work are not guaranteed and are solely for the purpose of comparison of Bids and determining an initial Contract Price. Determinations of the actual quantities and classifications of Unit Price Work performed by CONTRACTOR will be made by ENGINEER in accordance with paragraph 9.10. 11.9.2. Each unit price will be deemed to include an amount considered by CONTRACTOR to be adequate to cover CONTRACTOR's overhead and profit for each separately identified item. 11.9.3.OWNER or CONTRACTOR may make a claim for an adjustment in the Contract Price in accordance with Article 11 if: 11.9.3.1. the quantity of any item of Unit Price Work performed by CONTRACTOR differs materially and significantly from the estimated quantity of such item indicated in the Agreement; EJCDC GENERAL CONDITIONS 1910-8 (1990 Edition) 26 w/ CITY OF FORT COLLINS MODIFICATIONS (REV 42000) and 11.9.3.2. there is no corresponding adjustment with respect to any other item of Work; and 11.9.3.3. if CONTRACTOR believes that CONTRACTOR is entitled to an increase in Contract Price as a result of having incurred additional expense or OWNER believes that OWNER is entitled to a decrease in Contract Price and the parties are unable to agree as to the amount of any such increase or decrease. 11.9.3.4. CONTRACTOR acknowledges that the OWNER has the right to add or delete items in the Bid or change quantities at OWNER'S sole discretion without affecting the Contract Price of any remaining item so long as the deletion or addition does not exceed twenty-five• percent of the original total Contract Price. ARTICLE 12—CHANGE OF CONTRACT TIMES 12.1. The Contract Times (or Milestones) may only be changed by a Change Order or a Written Amendment. Any claim for an adjustment of the Contract Times (or Milestones) shall be based on written notice delivered by the party making the claim to the other party and to ENGINEER promptly (but in no event later than thirty days) after the occurrence of the event giving rise to the claim and stating the general nature of the claim. Notice of the extent of the claim with supporting data shall be delivered within sixty days after such occurrence (unless ENGINEER allows additional time to ascertain more accurate data in support of the claim) and shall be accompanied by the claimant's written statement that the adjustment claimed is the entire adjustment to which the claimant has reason to believe it is entitled as a result of the occurrence of said event. All claims for adjustment in the Contract Times (or Milestones) shall be determined by ENGINEER in accordance with paragraph 9.11 if OWNER and CONTRACTOR cannot otherwise agree. No claim for an adjustment in the Contract Times (or Milestones) will be valid if not submitted in accordance with the requirements of this paragraph 12.1. 12.2. All time limits stated in the Contract Documents are of the essence of the Agreement. 12.3. Where CONTRACTOR is prevented from completing any part of the Work within the Contract Times (or Milestones) due to delay beyond the control of CONTRACTOR, the Contract Times (or Milestones) will be extended in an amount equal to time lost due to such delay if a claim is made therefor as provided in paragraph 12.1. Delays beyond the control of CONTRACTOR shall include, but not be limited to, acts or neglect by OWNER, acts or neglect of utility owners or other contractors performing other work as contemplated by Article 7, fires, floods, epidemics, abnormal weather conditions or acts of God. Delays attributable to and r� within the control of a Subcontractor or Supplier shall be deemed to be delays within the control of CONTRACTOR. 12.4. Where CONTRACTOR is prevented from completing any part of the Work within the Contract Times (or Milestones) due to delay beyond the control of both OWNER and CONTRACTOR, an extension of the Contract Times (or Milestones) in an amount equal to the time lost due to such delay shall be CONTRACTOR's sole and exclusive remedy for such delay. In no event shall OWNER be liable to CONTRACTOR, any Subcontractor, any Supplier, any other person or organization, or to any surety for or employee or agent of any of them, for damages arising out of or resulting from (i) delays caused by or within the control of the CONTRACTOR, or (ii) delays beyond the control of both parties including, but not limited to, fires, floods, epidemics, abnormal weather conditions, acts of God or acts or neglect by utility owners or other contractors performing other work as contemplated by Article 7. ARTICLE 13—TESTS AND INSPECTIONS; CORRECTION, REMOVAL OR ACCEPTANCE OF DEFECTIVE WORK 13.1. Notice of Defects. Prompt notice of all defective Work of which OWNER or ENGINEER have actual knowledge will be given to CONTRACTOR. All defective Work may be rejected, corrected or accepted as provided in this Article 13. Access to Work: 13.2. OWNER, ENGINEER, ENGINEER's Consultants, other representatives and personnel of OWNER, independent testing laboratories and governmental agencies with jurisdictional interests will have access to the Work at n ase, ble fi for their observation, inspecting and testing. CONTRACTOR shall provide them proper and safe conditions for such access and advise them of CONTRACTOR's site safety procedures and programs so that they may comply therewith as applicable. Tests and Inspections: 13.3. CONTRACTOR shall give ENGINEER timely notice of readiness of the Work for all required inspections, tests or approvals, and shall cooperate with inspection and testing personnel to facilitate required inspections or tests. 13.4. OWNER shall employ and pay for the services of an independent testing laboratory to perform all inspections, tests, or approvals required by the Contract Documents except: 13.4.1. for inspections, tests or approvals covered by paragraph 13.5 below; 13.4.2. that costs incurred in connection with tests or inspections conducted pursuant to paragraph 13.9 EICDC GENERAL CONDITIONS 1910-8 (1990 Edition) w/ CITY OF FORT COLLINS MODIFICATIONS (REV 4/2000) below shall be paid as provided in said paragraph 13.9; and 13.4.3. as otherwise specifically provided in the Contract Documents. 13.5. If Laws or Regulations of any public body having jurisdiction require any Work (or part thereof) specifically to be inspected, tested or approved by an employee or other representative of such public body, CONTRACTOR shall assume full responsibility for arranging and obtaining such inspections, tests or approvals, pay all costs in connection therewith, and furnish ENGINEER the required certificates of inspection, or approval. CONTRACTOR shall also be responsible for arranging and obtaining and shall pay all costs in connection with any inspections, tests or approvals required for OWNER's and ENGINEER's acceptance of materials or equipment to be incorporated in the Work, or of materials, mix designs, or equipment submitted for approval prior to CONTRACTOR's purchase thereof for incorporation in the Work. 13.6. If any Work (or the work of others) that is to be inspected, tested or approved is covered by CONTRACTOR without written concurrence of ENGINEER, it must, if requested by ENGINEER, be uncovered for observation. 13.7. Uncovering Work as provided in paragraph 13.6 shall be at CONTRACTOR's expense unless CONTRACTOR has given ENGINEER timely notice of CONTRACTOR's intention to cover the same and ENGINEER has not acted with reasonable promptness in response to such notice. Uncovering Work: 13.8. If any Work is covered contrary to the written request of ENGINEER, it must, if requested by ENGINEER, be uncovered for ENGINEER's observation and replaced at CONTRACTOR's expense. 13.9. If ENGINEER considers it necessary or advisable that covered Work be observed by ENGINEER or inspected or tested by others, CONTRACTOR, at ENGINEER's request, shall uncover, expose or otherwise make available for observation, inspection or testing as ENGINEER may require, that portion of the Work in question, furnishing all necessary labor, material and equipment. If it is found that such Work is defective, CONTRACTOR shall pay all claims, costs, losses and damages caused by, arising out of or resulting from such uncovering, exposure, observation, inspection and testing and of satisfactory replacement or reconstruction, (including but not limited to all costs of repair or replacement of work of others); and OWNER shall be entitled to an appropriate decrease in the Contract Price, and, if the parties are unable to agree as to the amount thereof, may make a claim therefor as provided in Article 11. If, however, such Work is not found to be defective, CONTRACTOR shall be allowed an increase in the Contract Price or an extension of the Contract Times (or Milestones), or both, directly attributable to such 27 n corrected, resultingaced u der pamm S bca to ph such Wthe Work or rep lion testing, removed rind hereunder with respectto c eiie r exposure, and t it f the parties are correctioen l� (led for an additio pnP or removal and observation, thereof, unable to agree as eount O for (t p in will beears after such co ctorily completed. replacement and reconstruction, r)1e rovided tw—o -Y ! s been satisfy r.

CONTRACTOR shall not be allowed an extension of the Contract Times (or Milestones) because of any delay in performance of the Work attributable to the exercise by OWNER of OWNER's rights and remedies hereunder. ARTICLE 14—PAYMENTS TO CONTRACTOR AND COMPLETION Schedule of Values: 14.1. The schedule of values established as provided in paragraph 2.9 will serve as the basis for progress payments and will be incorporated into a form of Application for Payment acceptable to ENGINEER. Progress payments on account of Unit Price Work will be based on the number of units completed. Application for Progress Payment: 14.2. At least twenty days before the date established for each progress payment (but not more often than once a month), CONTRACTOR shall submit to ENGINEER for review an Application for Payment filled out and signed by CONTRACTOR covering the Work completed as of the date of the Application and accompanied by such supporting documentation as is required by the Contract Documents. If payment is requested on the basis of materials and equipment not incorporated in the Work but delivered and suitably stored at the site or at another location agreed to in writing, the Application for Payment shall also be accompanied by a bill of sale, invoice or other documentation warranting that OWNER has received the materials and equipment free and clear of all Liens and evidence that the materials and equipment are covered by appropriate property insurance and other arrangements to protect OWNER's interest therein, all of which will be satisfactory to OWNER. The amount of retainage with respect to progress payments will be as stipulated in the Agreement. Any funds that are withheld by the OWNER shall not be subject to substitution by the CONTRACTOR with securities or any arrangements involving an escrow or custodianship. By executingthe he application for payment form the CONTRACTOR expressly waives his right to the benefits of Colorado Revised Statutes, Section 24-91-101. 91 sea. CONTRACTOR's Warranty of Title: 14.3. CONTRACTOR warrants and guarantees that title to all Work, materials and equipment covered by any Application for Payment, whether incorporated in the Project or not, will pass to OWNER no later than the time of payment free and clear of all Liens. Review of Applicationsfir Progress Payment: 14.4. ENGINEER will, within ten days after receipt of each Application for Payment, either indicate in' writing a EJCDC GENERAL CONDITIONS 1910-8 (1990 Edition) w/CITY OF FORT COLLINS MODIFICATIONS (REV 4/2000) recommendation of payment and present the Application to OWNER, or return the Application to CONTRACTOR indicating in writing ENGINEER's reasons for refusing to recommend payment. In the latter case, CONTRACTOR may make the necessary corrections and resubmit the Application. Ten days after presentation of the Application for Payment to OWNER with ENGINEER's recommendation, the amount recommended will (subject to the provisions of the last sentence of paragraph 14.7) become due and when due will be paid by OWNER to CONTRACTOR. 14.5. ENGINEER's recommendation of any payment requested in an Application for Payment will constitute a representation by ENGINEER to OWNER, based on ENGINEER's on -site observations of the executed Work as an experienced and qualified design professional and on ENGINEER's review of the Application for Payment and the accompanying data and schedules, that to the best of ENGINEER's knowledge, information and belief: 14.5.1. the Work has progressed to the point indicated, 14.5.2. the quality of the Work is generally in accordance with the Contract Documents (subject to an evaluation of the Work as a functioning whole prior to or upon Substantial Completion, to the results of any subsequent tests called for in the Contract Documents, to a final determination of quantities and classifications for Unit Price Work under paragraph 9.10, and to any other qualifications stated in the recommendation), and 14.5.3. the conditions precedent to CONTRACTOR's being entitled to such payment appear to have been fulfilled insofar as it is ENGINEER's responsibility to observe the Work. However, by recommending any such payment ENGINEER will not thereby be deemed to have represented that: (i) exhaustive or continuous on -site inspections have been made to check the quality or the quantity of the Work beyond the responsibilities specifically assigned to ENGINEER in the Contract Documents or (ii) that there may not be other matters or issues between the parties that might entitle CONTRACTOR to be paid additionally by OWNER or entitle OWNER to withhold payment to CONTRACTOR. 14.6. ENGINEER's recommendation of any payment, including final payment, shall not mean that ENGINEER is responsible for CONTRACTOR's means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures of construction, or the safety precautions and programs incident thereto, or for any failure of CONTRACTOR to comply with Laws and Regulations applicable to the furnishing or performance of Work, or for any failure of CONTRACTOR to perform or famish Work in accordance with the Contract Documents. 14.7. ENGINEER may refuse to recommend the whole or any part of any payment if, in ENGINEER's opinion, it would be incorrect to make the representations to 29 OWNER referred to in paragraph 14.5. ENGINEER may also refuse to recommend any such payment, or, because of subsequently discovered evidence or the results of subsequent inspections or tests, nullify any such payment previously recommended, to such extent as may be necessary in ENGINEER's opinion to protect OWNER from loss because: 14.7.1. the Work is defective, or completed Work has been damaged requiring correction or replacement, 14.7.2. the Contract Price has been reduced by Written Amendment or Change Order, 14.7.3. OWNER has been required to correct defective Work or complete Work in accordance with paragraph 13.14, or 14.7.4. ENGINEER has actual knowledge of the occurrence of any of the events enumerated in paragraphs 15.2.1 through 15.2.4 inclusive. OWNER may refuse to make payment of the full amount recommended by ENGINEER because: 14.7.5. claims have been made against OWNER on account of CONTRACTOR's performance or furnishing of the Work, 14.7.6. Liens have been filed in connection with the Work, except where CONTRACTOR has delivered a specific Bond satisfactory to OWNER to secure the satisfaction and discharge of such Liens, 14.7.7. there are other items entitling OWNER to a set- off against the amount recommended, or 14.7.8. OWNER has actual knowledge of the occurrence of any of the events enumerated in paragraphs14.7.1 through 14.7.3 or paragraphs 15.2.1 through 15.2.4 inclusive; but OWNER must give CONTRACTOR immediate written notice (with a copy to ENGINEER) stating the reasons for such action and promptly pay CONTRACTOR the amount so withheld, or any adjustment thereto agreed to by OWNER and CONTRACTOR, when CONTRACTOR corrects to OWNER's satisfaction the reasons for such action. Substantial Completion: 14.8. When CONTRACTOR considers the entire Work ready for its intended use CONTRACTOR shall notify OWNER and ENGINEER in writing that the entire Work is substantially complete (except for items specifically listed by CONTRACTOR as incomplete) and request that ENGINEER issue a certificate of Substantial Completion. Within a reasonable time thereafter, OWNER, CONTRACTOR and ENGINEER shall make an inspection of the Work to determine the status of completion. If ENGINEER does not consider the Work substantially complete, ENGINEER will notify CONTRACTOR in writing giving the reasons therefor. If ENGINEER E)CDC GENERAL CONDITIONS 1910-8 (1990 Edition) 30 w/ CITY OF FORT COLLINS MODIFICATIONS (REV 4/2000) considers the Work substantially complete, ENGINEER will prepare and deliver to OWNER a tentative certificate of Substantial Completion which shall fix the date of Substantial Completion. There shall be attached to the certificate a tentative list of items to be completed or corrected before final payment. OWNER shall have seven days after receipt of the tentative certificate during which to make written objection to ENGINEER as to any provisions of the certificate or attached list. If, after considering such objections, ENGINEER concludes that the Work is not substantially complete, ENGINEER will within fourteen days after submission of the tentative certificate to OWNER notify CONTRACTOR in writing, stating the reasons therefor. If, after consideration of OWNER's objections, ENGINEER considers the Work substantially complete, ENGINEER will within said fourteen days execute and deliver to OWNER and CONTRACTOR a definitive certificate of Substantial Completion (with a revised tentative list of items to be completed or corrected) reflecting such changes from the tentative certificate as ENGINEER believes justified after consideration of any objections from OWNER. At the time of delivery of the tentative certificate of Substantial Completion ENGINEER will deliver to OWNER and CONTRACTOR a written recommendation as to division of responsibilities pending final payment between OWNER and CONTRACTOR with respect to security, operation, safety, maintenance, heat, utilities, insurance and warranties and guarantees. Unless OWNER and CONTRACTOR agree otherwise in writing and so inform ENGINEER in writing prior to ENGINEER's issuing the definitive certificate of Substantial Completion, ENGINEER's aforesaid recommendation will be binding on OWNER and CONTRACTOR until final payment. 14.9.

Within a reasonable time after either such request, OWNER, CONTRACTOR and ENGINEER shall make an inspection of that part of the Work to determine its status of completion. If ENGINEER does not consider that part of the Work to be substantially complete, ENGINEER will notify OWNER and CONTRACTOR in writing giving the reasons therefor. If ENGINEER considers that part of the Work to be substantially complete, the provisions of paragraphs 14.8 and 14.9 will apply with respect to certification of Substantial Completion of that pail of the Work and the division of responsibility in respect thereof and access thereto. 14.10.2.

Releases or waivers of liens and the consent of the surety to finalize payment are to be submitted on forms conforming to the format of the OWNER'S standard forms bound in the Project manual. Final Payment and Acceptance: 14.13. If, on the basis of ENGINEER's observation of the Work during construction and final inspection, and ENGINEER's review of the final Application for Payment and accompanying documentation as required by the Contract Documents, ENGINEER is satisfied that the Work has been completed and CONTRACTOR's other obligations under the Contract Documents have been fulfilled, ENGINEER will, within ten days after receipt of the final Application for Payment, indicate in writing ENGINEER's recommendation of payment and present the Application to OWNER for payment. At the same time ENGINEER will also give written notice to OWNER and CONTRACTOR that the Work is acceptable subject to the provisions of paragraph 14.15. Otherwise, ENGINEER will return the Application to CONTRACTOR indicating in writing the reasons for refusing to recommend final payment, in which case CONTRACTOR shall make the necessary corrections and resubmit the Application. Thirty days after presentation to OWNER of the Application and accompanying documentation, in appropriate form and substance and with ENGINEER's recommendation and notice of acceptability, the amount recommended by ENGINEER will become due and will be paid by OWNER to CONTRACTOR subject to paragraph 17.6.2 of these General Conditions. 14.14. If, through no fault of CONTRACTOR, final completion of the Work is significantly delayed and if ENGINEER so confirms, OWNER shall, upon receipt of CONTRACTOR's final Application for Payment and recommendation of ENGINEER, and without terminating the Agreement, make payment of the balance due for that portion of the Work fully completed and accepted. If the remaining balance to be held by OWNER for Work not fully completed or corrected is less than the retainage stipulated in the Agreement, and if Bonds have been furnished as required in paragraph 5.1, the written consent of the surety to the payment of the balance due for that portion of the Work fully completed and accepted shall be submitted by CONTRACTOR to ENGINEER with the Application for such payment. Such payment shall be made under the terms and conditions governing final payment, except that it shall not constitute a waiver of claims. Waiver of Claims: 14.15. The making and acceptance of final payment will constitute: 14.15.1. a waiver of all claims by OWNER against CONTRACTOR, except claims arising from unsettled Liens, from defective Work appearing after 31 final inspection pursuant to paragraph 14.11, from failure to comply with the Contract Documents or the terms of any special guarantees specified therein, or from CONTRACTOR'S continuing obligations under the Contract Documents; and 14.15.2.

In such case CONTRACTOR shall not be entitled to receive any further payment until the Work is finished. If the unpaid balance of the Contract Price exceeds all claims, costs, losses and damages sustained by OWNER arising out of or resulting from completing the Work such excess will be paid to CONTRACTOR.

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 11 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 of the Wage and Hour Division of the U.S. Department of Labor determines that a different practice prevails for the applicable apprentice classification, fringes shall be paid in accordance with that determination. In the event the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, or a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Bureau, 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. (ii) Trainees - 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 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.

Thus, a supplier of materials which will become an integral part of the construction is a "subcontractor' if the supplier fabricates or assembles the goods or materials in question specifically for the construction project and the work involved may be said to be construction activity. If the goods or materials in question are ordinarily sold to other customers from regular inventory, the supplier is not a "subcontractor."

(a) Disputes include, but are not limited to, any disagreement resulting from a change, a delay, a change order, another written order, or an oral order from the Project Engineer, including any direction, instruction, interpretation, or determination by the Project Engineer. When a dispute occurs, the Contractor shall pursue resolution through the process set forth in this subsection. The Contractor shall: 1. Provide a written notice of protest to the Project Engineer before doing the work; 2. Supplement the written protest within 15 calendar days with a written statement providing the following (1) The date of the protested order; (2) The nature of the order and circumstances which caused the protest; (3) The contract provisions supporting the protest; (4) The estimated dollar cost, if any, of the protested work and documentation supporting the estimate; and (5) An analysis of the progress schedule showing the schedule change or disruption if the Contractor is asserting a schedule change or disruption; and 3. Supplement the information provided in 2. above as necessary during the time the dispute continues. Throughout protested work, the Contractor shall keep complete records of extra costs and time incurred. The Contractor shall permit the Project Engineer access to these and all other records needed for evaluating the protest as determined by the Project Engineer. The Project Engineer will evaluate all protests. If the Project Engineer determines that a protest is valid, the Project Engineer will adjust payment for work or time by an equitable adjustment in accordance with subsection 108.06, 109.04, or 109.10. If the Project Engineer fails to provide satisfactory resolution, the Contractor may pursue the more formalized method for submitting a claim, as outlined below. (b) All claims filed by the Contractor based upon: (1) work or materials not clearly defined in the Contract, (2) extra work not ordered by the Engineer in accordance with subsection 104.03, (3) extensions of time made pursuant to subsection 108.06, or (4) any other cause, resulting in requests for additional compensation or time, shall be governed by this subsection.

If notice of protest or notice of intent to file claim are not properly given by the Contractor according to these _ specifications, the Contractor shall not be entitled to any additional compensation or extension of time for any cause related to the claim, including any act or failure to act by the Engineer. Any such claim based upon any cause will be considered invalid and will be denied by the Project Engineer on the basis that proper — notifications, as required herein, were not given. The Contractor's prior and formal notifications of intent to file a claim and subsequent Department acknowledgment of those notifications shall not be construed as proving or substantiating the validity of the Contractor's claim as related to the contractual basis of the claim, factual information related to the claim, or cost, or amount of time extension related to the claim. (d) When the Contractor provides written notification of intent to file a claim pursuant to subsection 105.17(c), the claim will be reviewed by the Project Engineer who will render a written decision to the Contractor to either affirm the claim as valid or deny the claim, in whole or in part, in accordance with the following procedure: 1.

If the Contractor is participating (pursuant to 41 CFR 60-4.5) in a Hometown Plan approved by the U.S. Department of Labor in the covered area either individually or through an association, its affirmative action obligations on all work in the Plan area (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 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. 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 a substantially disparate manner (for example, even thought the Contractor has achieved its goals for women generally, the Contractor may be in violation of the Executive Order if a speck 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.

Records shall be maintained in an — easily understandable and retrievable form, however, to the degree that existing records satisfy this requirement, contractors shall 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 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). — July.21 1999 AFFIRMATIVE ACTION REQUIREMENTS EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY C.

If the Contractor relies in whole or in part upon unions as a source of employees, the Contractor will use his/her best efforts to obtain the cooperation of such unions to increase opportunities for minority groups and women with the unions, and to effect referrals by such unions of minority and female employees. Actions by the Contractor either directly or thorough a contractor's association acting as agent will include the procedures set forth below: a. The Contractor will use best efforts to develop, in cooperation with the unions, joint training programs aimed toward qualifying more minority group members and women for membership in the unions and increasing the skills of minority group employees and women so that they may qualify for higher paying employment. b. The Contractor will use best efforts to incorporate an equal employment opportunity 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, or national origin. 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 State highway department and shall set forth what efforts have been made to obtain such information. ................................... July21, 1999 10 AFFIRMATIVE ACTION REQUIREMENTS EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY d. In the event the union is unable to provide the Contractor with a reasonable flow of minority and women referrals within he 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 or national origin; making full efforts to obtain qualified and/or qualifiable minority — group persons and women. (The U.S. Department of Labor has held that it shall be no excuse that the union with which the Contractor has a collective bargaining agreement providing for exclusive referral failed to refer minority employees.) 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 State highway agency. 9. Subcontracting. a. The Contractor will use his best efforts to solicit bids from and to utilize minority group subcontractors or subcontractors with meaningful minority group and female representation among their employees. Contractors shall obtain lists of minority -owned construction firms from State highway agency personnel. b. The Contractor will use his best efforts to ensure subcontractor compliance with their equal employment opportunity obligations. 10. Records and Reports. a. The Contractor will keep such records as are necessary to determine compliance with the Contractor's equal employment opportunity obligations. The records kept by the Contractor will be designed to indicate: (1) The number of minority and nonminority group members and women employed in each work classification on the project. (2) The Progress and efforts being made in cooperation with unions to increase employment opportunities for minorities and women (applicable only to contractors who rely in whole or in part on unions as a source of their work force). _ (3) The progress and efforts being made in locating, hiring, training, qualifying, and upgrading minority and female employees, and (4) The progress and efforts being made in securing the services of minority group subcontractors or subcontractors with meaningful minority and female representation among their employees. b. All such records must be retained for a period of three years following completion of the contract work and shall be available at reasonable times and places for inspection by authorized representatives of the State highway agency and the Federal Highway Administration. c. The Contractors will submit an annual report to the State highway 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 PR 1391.

It is to be used as written without change. Do not use modified versions of this special provision on CDOT construction projects, and do not use this special provision on CDOT projects in a manner other than that specified in the instructions unless such use is first approved by the Standards and Specifications Unit of the Project Development Branch. The instructions for use on CDOT construction projects appear below. Other agencies that use the Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction to administer construction projects may use this special provision as appropriate and at their own risk. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE ON CDOT CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS: Use this standard special provision on all projects.

"Other," which means any additional groups whose members are designated as socially and economically disadvantaged by the Small Business Administration (SBA), at such time as the SBA designation becomes effective and/or individuals who have been determined to be socially and economically disadvantaged based on the criteria for social and economic disadvantage. 2. Underutilized DBE (UDBE). A firm which meets the definition of DBE above and is eligible to meet the contract goal as defined in the project special provision titled "Contract Goal 3. DBE Joint Venture. Joint venture means an association of a DBE firm and one or more other firms to — carry out a single, for -profit business enterprise, for which the parties combine their property, capital, efforts, skills and knowledge, and in which the DBE is responsible for a distinct, clearly defined portion of the work of the contract and whose share in the capital contribution, control, management, risks, and profits of the joint venture are commensurate with its ownership interest. December 20, 2002 -2- DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE DEFINITIONS AND REQUIREMENTS A DBE joint venture must be certified as a joint venture by the Business Programs Office at CDOT_ A. For those projects set -aside for bidding by UDBEs only; all of the partners in a joint venture must be UDBEs and certification of the joint venture will not be required. B. For all projects other than the set -aside projects discussed in A. above; one of the partners in a joint venture must be a DBE. The DBE percentage of the joint venture will be determined at the time of certification. 4. Contract Goal. The goal for UDBE participation that the Department determines should appropriately be met by the successful bidder. Contract goal will be the percentage stated in the invitation for bids and in the project special provisions. Successful bidders that are awarded a Contract based on good faith efforts shall continue to make good faith efforts through the period of time that work on the project is in process, to provide for additional UDBE participation toward meeting the goal. 5. Good Faith Efforts. It is the obligation of the bidder to make good faith efforts to meet the contract goal prior to the bid opening. The bidder can demonstrate that it has done so either by meeting the contract goal or by documenting good faith efforts made. The apparent low bidder shall report all efforts made including but not limited to the efforts required on CDOT Form No. 718. The efforts employed by the bidder should be those that one could reasonably expect a bidder to take if the bidder were actively and aggressively trying to obtain UDBE participation sufficient to meet the DBE contract goal. In determining whether a bidder has made good faith efforts, CDOT may take into account the performance of other bidders in meeting the contract. For example, when the apparent successful bidder fails to meet the contract goal, but others meet it, CDOT may reasonably raise the question of whether, with additional reasonable efforts, the apparent successful bidder could have met the goal. If the apparent successful bidder fails to meet the goal, but meets or exceeds the average UDBE participation obtained by other bidders, CDOT may view this, in conjunction with other factors, as evidence of the apparent successful bidder having made good faith efforts. The DBE Program manager in the Business Programs Office is responsible for determining whether a bidder who has not met the contract goal has documented sufficient good faith efforts to be regarded as responsible. The manager will ensure that all information is complete and accurate and adequately documents the bidder's good faith efforts before CDOT commits to the performance of the contract by the bidder. The DBE Program manager will notify the apparent low bidder by fax regarding any deficiencies in the documentation and effort demonstrated by the bidder. This fax will include the DBE Program manager's recommendation to the DBE Liaison Officer regarding whether the good faith effort demonstrated was sufficient for the bidder to be regarded as responsible. If the bidder may be regarded as responsible but with minor deficiencies in its good faith effort, the bidder will be expected to correct any deficiencies noted prior to bidding on other CDOT projects. Within 5 working days of being informed by CDOT that it is not a responsible bidder because it has not documented sufficient good faith efforts, a bidder may request administrative reconsideration from the Good Faith Efforts (GFE) Committee, which will not have played any role in the original determination that the bidder did not document sufficient good faith efforts. The bidder should make this request in writing to: Good Faith Efforts Committee C/O Manager, Center for EO 4201 E. Arkansas Avenue, Denver, CO 80222 Phone: 303-757-9234 Fax: 303-757-9019 As part of this reconsideration, the bidder will have the opportunity to provide written documentation or argument concerning the issue of whether it met the goal or made adequate good faith efforts prior to the bid opening to do so. The bidder will also have the opportunity to meet in person with CDOT's GFE December 20, 2002 -3- DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE DEFINITIONS AND REQUIREMENTS Committee to discuss the issue of whether it met the goal or made adequate good faith efforts prior to the bid opening to do so. CDOT will send the bidder a written decision on reconsideration, explaining the basis for finding that the bidder did or did not meet the goal or make adequate good faith efforts prior to the bid opening to do so. The GFE Review Committee will make a recommendation to the DBE liaison Officer. The DBE Liaison Officer will review the good faith efforts documentation and the recommendation of the GFE Review Committee,. determine whether the required efforts are sufficient for award and notify the Chief Engineer of this finding. The Chief Engineer will make the final decision regarding award. There will be no administrative appeal of the Chief Engineer's decision. If award of the Contract is made based on the Contractor's good faith efforts, the goal will not be waived. The Contractor will be expected to continue to make good faith efforts as described below throughout the duration of the Contract. To demonstrate Good Faith Efforts to meet the Contract goal throughout the performance of the Contract, the Contractor shall document to the Department the steps taken including, but not limited to the following: A. Seek out and consider UDBEs as potential subcontractors. (1) Contact two or more UDBEs for each category of work that is being subcontracted. (2) Affirmatively solicit their interest, capability, and price quotations. (3) Provide equal time for all prospective subcontractors to prepare their proposals. (4) Provide at least as much time to UDBEs in assisting them to prepare their bids for subcontract _ work as to non UDBE subcontractors. (5) Award subcontracts to UDBEs where their quotations are reasonably competitive with other quotations received. B. Maintain documentation of UDBEs contacted and their responses. (1) Maintain a list of UDBEs contacted as prospective subcontractors. (2) Maintain thorough documentation of criteria used to select each subcontractor. _ (3) Where a UDBE expressed an interest in a subcontract and made a quotation, and where the work was not awarded to a UDBE, furnish a detailed letter explaining the reasons. (b) Certification as a DBE by the Department n 1. Any contractor may apply to the Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA) for status as a DBE. Application shall be made on forms provided by the DORA for certification of DBEs. Application need not _ be made in connection with a particular bid. Only work contracted to UDBE contractors or subcontracted to UDBEs and independently performed by UDBEs shall be considered toward contract goals as established elsewhere in these specifications. 2. It shall be the Contractor's responsibility to submit applications so that the DORA has sufficient time to render decisions. The DORA will review applications in a timely manner but is not committed to render decisions about a firm's DBE status within any given period of time. 3. The Department will publish a monthly list of DBE contractors, vendors and suppliers for the purpose of providing a reference source to assist any bidder in identifying DBEs and UDBEs. Bidders will be solely responsible for verifying the Certification of DBEs they intend.to use prior to submitting a proposal. The Business Programs Office in the Center for Equal Opportunity will maintain a current list of eligible DBEs and UDBEs. 4. Bidders shall exercise their own judgments in selecting any subcontractor to perform any portion of the work. 5. Permission for a DBE/non-DBE joint venture to bid on a specific project may be obtained from the Department based on information provided by the proposed joint venture on CDOT Form No. 893, December 20, 2002 -4- DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE DEFINITIONS AND REQUIREMENTS "Information For Determining Joint Venture Eligibility". Joint applications should be submitted well in advance of bid openings. (c) Bidding Requirements All bidders shall submit with their proposals a fully executed CDOT Form No. 714 including a list of the names of their UDBE subcontractors to meet the contract goal. The apparent low bidder shall submit a fully executed CDOT Form No. 715 for each UDBE used to meet the contract goal (sample attached) no later than 4:00 p.m. on the day after the date of bid opening to the Business Programs Office in the Center for Equal Opportunity. CDOT Form No. 715 may be submitted by FAX, at Fax number(303)757- 9019, with an original copy to follow. In addition, the apparent low bidder shall submit written confirmation from every UDBE used to meet the contract goal that it is participating in the contract as provided in the prime contractor's commitment. If the contract goal is not met, the apparent low bidder shall submit a CDOT form No. 718 and evidence of good faith efforts no later than 4:00 on the day following the bid opening to the Business Programs Office in the Center for Equal Opportunity. CDOT Form NO. 718 may be submitted by FAX, at Fax number (303)757-9019, with an original copy to follow. A copy of CDOT Form No. 718 is incorporated into this specification. 2. The award of Contract, if awarded, will be made to the lowest responsible bidder that will meet or exceed the contract goal or, if the goal will not be met, is able to demonstrate that good faith efforts were made to meet the goal. Good faith efforts are explained in (a)4 of this special provision. 3. The use of the UDBE firms named on CDOT Form No. 714 or on a CDOT Form No. 715, for the items of work described, is a condition of award. The replacement of a named UDBE firm will be allowed only as provided for in (e) of this special provision. Failure to comply will constitute grounds for default and termination of the Contract. 4. Contractor's DBE Obligation. The prime Contractor bidding on construction projects advertised by the Department agrees to ensure that Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs), as defined in this special provision, have the maximum opportunity to participate in the performance of contracts or subcontracts financed in whole or in part with Federal or State funds. The prime Contractor shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the bidding process or the performance of contracts. To ensure that UDBEs are offered maximum opportunity to participate in the performance of contracts, it is the responsibility of the prime Contractor to offer and to provide assistance to UDBEs related to the UDBE performance of the subcontract. However, the UDBE must independently perform a commercially useful function on the project. (d) Counting DBE Participation Toward Contract Goals and CDOT's annual DBE goal 1. Once a firm has been certified as a DBE the total dollar amount of the contract awarded to the firm shall be counted toward CDOT's annual DBE goal and the contract goal as explained below, and as modified for the project in the project special provisions titled "Contract Goal. 2. The actual dollar total of a proposed subcontract, supply or service contract with any DBE firm shall be reported to the Department using CDOT Form No. 713. A CDOT Form No. 713 for subcontracts is to be submitted with the CDOT Form No. 205 and receipt will be a condition of approval. The eligibility of a proposed DBE subcontractor will be finally established based on the firm's status at the time of CDOT Form No. 205 approval. A CDOT Form No. 713 for a supply or service contract is to be submitted once a contract has been fully executed so the Department will be able to report the DBE participation in a timely manner. The eligibility of a DBE supplier or service firm will be finally established as of the date the CDOT Form No. 713 is received by the Department. A CDOT Form No. 205 is not required for a supply or service contract. December 20, 2002 -5- DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE DEFINITIONS AND REQUIREMENTS If a firm becomes certified as a DBE during performance under a fully executed contract with CDOT but prior to the DBE performing any work, then 100% of the work performed by the firm under that contract may be claimed as eligible work. 3. The Contractor may count toward its contract goal the percentage of the total dollar amount of a contract with a Department certified joint venture that equals the percentage of the ownership and control of the UDBE partner in a joint venture. 4. A. The Contractor may count toward its contract goal only that percentage of expenditures to UDBEs which independently perform a commercially useful function in the work of a contract. A -DBE is considered to be performing a commercially useful function by actually performing, managing, and supervising the work involved. To determine whether a DBE is performing a commercially useful function, the Department will evaluate the amount of work subcontracted, work performed solely by the DBE, industry practices, and other relevant factors. B. A DBE may enter into subcontracts consistent with normal industry practices. If a DBE contractor subcontracts over 51% of the work of the Contract the DBE shall be presumed not to be performing a commercially useful function. The DBE may present evidence to rebut this presumption to the Department. 5. The Contractor may count toward its contract goal the percentage of expenditures for materials and . supplies obtained from UDBE suppliers (regular dealers) and manufacturers, provided that the UDBEs assume the actual and contractual responsibility for and actually provide the materials and supplies. A. The Contractor may count 100 percent of its expenditures to a UDBE manufacturer. A DBE manufacturer is a certified firm that operates or maintains a factory or establishment that produces on the premises the materials or supplies obtained by the Contractor. B. The Contractor may count 60 percent of its expenditures to UDBE suppliers that are not manufacturers, provided that the DBE supplier performs a commercially useful function in the supply process. A DBE supplier is a certified firm that owns, operates, or maintains a store, warehouse, or _ other establishment in which the materials or supplies required for the performance of the Contract are bought, kept in stock, and regularly sold to the public in the usual course of business. To be a supplier the firm must engage in, as its principal business and in its own name, the purchase and sale of the products in question. A supplier in such bulk items as steel, cement, gravel, stone, and petroleum products need not keep such products in stock, if it owns or operates distribution equipment. Brokers and packagers shall not be regarded as manufacturers or suppliers within the meaning of this section. C. The Contractor may count toward its contract goal the following expenditures to UDBE firms that.are not manufacturers or suppliers: (1) The fees or commissions charged for providing 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 performance of the Contract, provided that the fee or commission is determined by the Department to be reasonable and not excessive as compared with fees customarily allowed for similar services. (2) The fees charged for delivery of materials and supplies required to a job site (but not the cost of the materials and supplies themselves) when the hauler, trucker, or delivery service is not also the manufacturer of or a supplier of the materials and supplies, provided that the fee is determined by the Department to be reasonable and not excessive as compared with fees customarily allowed for similar services. (3) The fees or commissions charged for providing any bonds or insurance specifically required for the performance of the Contract, provided that the fee or commission is determined by the December 20, 2002 -6- DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE DEFINITIONS AND REQUIREMENTS Department to be reasonable and not excessive as compared with fees customarily allowed for similar services. 6. To determine the goals achieved under this Contract the participation as described in (d) of this special provision shall be divided by the original prime Contract amount and multiplied by 100 to determine the percentage of performance. The Contractor shall maintain records of payment that show amounts paid to all DBEs. Upon completion of the project, the Contractor shall submit a CDOT Form No. 17 listing all DBEs that participated in this Contract, the subcontract tier number of each, and the dollar amount paid to each. This dollar amount shall include payments made by nonDBE subcontractors to DBE subcontractors. The Contractor shall certify the amount paid, which -may be audited by the -Department. When there is no participation by DBEs, the Contractor shall submit a CDOT Form NO. 17 that indicates no participation and gives reasons why there was no participation. CDOT will not count the participation of a DBE subcontractor toward the prime contractor's UDBE achievements or CDOT's overall DBE goal until the amount being counted toward the goal has been paid to the DBE. (e) Replacement of UDBE Subcontractors used to meet the contract goal Based upon a showing of good cause the Contractor may request that a UDBE named on CDOT Form No. 714 or on a CDOT Form No. 715 be replaced with another UDBE pursuant to the terms and conditions of this special provision. In the event that the Contractor is able to both document the need and to offer a replacement UDBE who can perform the work at a reasonable cost, the Department will approve the replacement at no additional cost to the Department. Replacements will be allowed only with prior written approval of the Department. 1. If a replacement is to be requested prior to the time that the named UDBE has begun to effectively prosecute the work under a fully executed subcontract, the Contractor shall furnish to the Department the following: A. Written permission of the named UDBE. Written permission may be waived only if such permission cannot be obtained for reasons beyond the control of the Contractor. B. A full written disclosure of the circumstances making it impossible for the Contractor to comply with the condition of award. C. Documentation of the Contractor's assistance to the UDBE named on CDOT Form No. 714 or on CDOT Form No. 715. D. Copies of any pertinent correspondence and documented verbal communications between the Contractor and the named UDBE. E. Documentation of the Good Faith Efforts in finding a replacement UDBE subcontractor and the results of the efforts. It is within the control of the Contractor to locate, prior to award, DBEs that offer reasonable prices and that could reasonably be expected to perform the work. For this reason, increased cost shall not, by itself, be considered sufficient reason for not providing an in -kind replacement. 2. In the event a UDBE subcontractor begins to prosecute the work and is unable to satisfactorily complete performance of the work, the Contractor shall furnish to the Department the following: A. Documentation that the subject UDBE subcontractor did not perform in a satisfactory manner. B. Documentation of the Contractor's assistance to the UDBE subcontractor prior to finding the UDBE subcontractor in default. C. A copy of the certified letter finding the UDBE to be in default or a letter from the UDBE stating that it cannot complete the work and it is turning the work back to the Contractor.

Copy of the contract between the Contractor and the UDBE subcontractor, plus any modifications thereto. E. Documentation of the Good Faith Efforts in finding a replacement UDBE subcontractor and the results of the efforts. In the event the Contractor is able to locate a replacement UDBE who can perform work at a reasonable cost to the Contractor, and also demonstrates to the satisfaction of the CDOT that prior to bid it had ; reason to believe that the named UDBE firm was responsible and not expected to default, the Department may modify or renegotiate the Contract to compensate the Contractor for any reasonable c extra costs, because of a higher price in the proposal of the replacement UDBE subcontractor than that of the original UDBE subcontractor who failed to perform. Provided, however, that the Department will not be obligated to participate in any increased cost to the Contractor if the UDBE that fails to perform has a recent history of performance failure(s) or default that was either known, or should have been known, to the Contractor prior to award. 3. If the Contractor is unable to locate a UDBE replacement that is both interested in and capable of performing the work at a reasonable cost, the Department may waive the requirement that the work be performed by a UDBE and the Contractor shall provide for the satisfactory completion of the work at no additional cost to the Department. (f) Sanctions It is the obligation of the Contractor to provide DBE firms with the maximum opportunity to participate in the performance of the work. It is the responsibility of DBE firms to perform their work in a responsible manner fully consistent with the intent of the DBE program, and in substantial compliance with the terms and conditions of these DBE definitions and requirements. DBE firms which fail to perform a commercially useful function as described in subsection (d)4 of these DBE definitions and requirements or operate in a manner which is not consistent with the intent of the DBE program may be subject to revocation of certification. I A finding by the Department that the Contractor has failed to comply with the terms and conditions of these DBE definitions and requirements shall constitute sufficient grounds for default and termination of the Contract in accordance with subsection 108.08 of the specifications.

These contract provisions shall apply to all work performed on the contract by the contractor's own organization and with the assistance of workers under the contractor's immediate superin- tendence and to all work performed on the contract by piecework, station work, or by subcontract. 2. Except as otherwise provided for in each section, the contractor shall insert in each subcontract all of the stipulations contained in these Required Contract Provisions, and further require their inclusion in any lower tier subcontract or purchase order that may in turn be made. The Required Contract Provisions shall not be incorporated by reference in any case. The prime contractor shall be responsible for compliance by any subcontrac- tor or lower tier subcontractor with these Required Contract Provisions. 3. A breach of any of the stipulations contained in these Required Contract Provisions shall be sufficient grounds for termination of the contract. 4.

If. NONDISCRIMINATION (Applicable to all Federal -aid construction contracts and to all related subcontracts of $10,000 or more.) 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 and 41 CFR 60) 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 Equal Opportunity Construction Contract Specifications set forth under 41 CFR 60-4.3 and the provisions of the American Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 12101 et EM.) set forth under 28 CFR 35 and 29 CFR 1630 are incorporated by reference in this contract. In the execution of this contract, the contractor agrees to comply with the following minimum specific requirement activities of EEO: a. The contractor will work with the State highway agency (SHA) and the Federal Government in carrying out EEO obliga- tions and in their review of his/her activities under the contract. b. The contractor will accept as his 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, preapprenticeship, and/or on-the-job training." 2. EEO Officer: The contractor will designate and make known to the SHA contracting officers an EEO Officer who will have the responsibility for and must be capable of effectively administering and promoting an active contractor program of EEO 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 -..z r.. July 21, 1999 3 REQUIRED CONTRACT PROVISIONS FEDERAL -AID CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS less often than once every six months, at which time the contract- ors 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 contractors 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 contractors procedures for locating and hiring minority group employees. d. Notices and posters setting forth the contractors EEO policy will be placed in areas readily accessible to employees, applicants for employment and potential employees. e. The contractors EEO policy and the procedures to implement such policy will be brought to the attention of employ- ees by means of meetings, employee handbooks, or other appropriate means. 4. Recruitment: When advertising for employees, the contrac- tor 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 minority groups in the area from which the project work force would normally be derived. a. The contractor will, unless precluded by a valid bargain- ing agreement, conduct systematic and direct recruitment through public and private employee referral sources likely to yield qualified minority group applicants. To meet this requirement, the contrac- tor will identify sources of potential minority group employees, and establish with such identified sources procedures whereby minority group applicants may be referred to the contractor for employment consideration. b. In the event the contractor has a valid bargaining agree- ment providing for exclusive hiring hall referrals, he is expected to observe the provisions of that agreement to the extent that the system permits the contractor's compliance with EEO contract provisions. (The DOL has held that where implementation of such agreements have the effect of discriminating against minorities or women, or obligates the contractor to do the same, such imple- mentation violates Executive Order 11246, as amended.) c. The contractor will encourage his present employees to refer minority group applicants for employment. Information and procedures with regard to referring minority group 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 his 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 discrimina- tion may affect persons other than the complainant, such correc- tive action shall include such other persons. Upon completion of each investigation, the contractor will inform every complainant of all of his avenues of appeal. 6. Training and Promotion: a. The contractor will assist in locating, qualifying, and increasing the skills of minority group and women employees, and applicants for employment. 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., appren- ticeship, and on-the-job training programs for the geographical area of contract performance. Where feasible, 25 percent of apprentices or trainees in each occupation shall be in their first year of apprenticeship or training. In the event a special provision for training is provided under this contract, this subparagraph will be superseded as indicated in the special provision. c. The contractor will advise employees and applicants for employment of available training programs and entrance require- ments for each. d. The contractor will periodically review the training and promotion potential of minority group and women employees 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 his/her best efforts to obtain the cooperation of such unions to increase opportunities for minority groups and women within the unions, and to effect referrals by such unions of minority and female employees. Actions by the contractor either directly or through a contractors association acting as agent will include the procedures set forth below: a. The contractor will use best efforts to develop, in cooperation with the unions, joint training programs aimed toward qualifying more minority group members and women for member- ship in the unions and increasing the skills of minority group employees and women so that they may qualify for bigher paying employment. b. The contractor will use best 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 SHA 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 minority and women 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, 4 REQUIRED CONTRACT PROVISIONS FEDERAL -AID CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS national origin, age or disability; making full efforts to obtain qualified and/or qualifiable minority group persons and women. (The DOL has held that it shall be no excuse that the union with which the contractor has a collective bargaining agreement provid- ing for exclusive referral failed to refer minority employees.) 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 SHA. 8. 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. a. The contractor shall notify all potential subcontractors and suppliers of his/her EEO obligations under this contract. b. Disadvantaged business enterprises (DBE), as defined in 49 CFR 23, shall have equal opportunity to compete for and perform subcontracts which the contractor enters into pursuant to this contract. The contractor will use his best efforts to solicit bids from and to utilize DBE subcontractors or subcontractors with meaningful minority group and female representation among their employees. Contractors shall obtain lists of DBE construction firms from SHA personnel. c. The contractor will use his best efforts to ensure subcon- tractor compliance with their EEO obligations. 9. 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 completion of the contract work and shall be available at reasonable times and places for inspection by autho- rized representatives of the SHA and the FHWA. a. The records kept by the contractor shall document the following: (1) The number 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 opportuni- ties for minorities and women; (3) The progress and efforts being made in locating, hiring, training, qualifying, and upgrading minority and female employees; and (4) The progress and efforts being made in securing the services of DBE subcontractors or subcontractors with meaningful minority and female representation among their employees. b. The contractors will submit an annual report to the SHA 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. If on -the - job training is being required by special provision, the contractor will be required to collect and report training data. III. NONSEGREGATED FACILITIES (Applicable to all Federal aid construction contracts and to all related subcontracts of $10,000 or more.) a. By submission of this bid, the execution of this contract or subcontract, or the consummation. of this material supply agree - July 21, 1999 ment or purchase order, as appropriate, the bidder, Federal -aid construction contractor, subcontractor, material supplier, or vendor, as appropriate, certifies that the firm does not maintain or provide for its employees any segregated facilities at any of its establishments, and that the firm does not permit its employees to perform their services at any location, under its control, where segregated facilities are maintained. The firm agrees that a breach of this certification is a violation of the EEO provisions of this contract. The firm further certifies that no employee will be denied access to adequate facilities on the basis of sex or disability. b. As used in this certification, the term "segregated facilities" means any waiting rooms, work areas, restrooms and washrooms, restaurants and other eating areas, timedocks, locker rooms, and other storage or dressing areas, parking lots, drinking fountains, recreation or entertainment areas, transportation, and housing facilities provided for employees which are segregated by explicit directive, or are, in fact, segregated on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, age or disability, because of habit, local custom, or otherwise. The only exception will be for the disabled when the demands for accessibility override (e.g. disabled parking). c. The contractor agrees that it has obtained or will obtain identical certification from proposed subcontractors or material suppliers prior to award of subcontracts or consummation of material supply agreements of $10,000 or more and that it will retain such certifications in its files. IV. PAYMENT OF PREDETERMINED MINIMUM WAGE (Applicable to all Federal -aid construction contracts exceeding $2,000 and to all related subcontracts, except for projects located on roadways classified as local roads or rural minor collectors, which are exempt.) 1. General: a. All mechanics and laborers 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 (29 CFR 3) Issued by the Secretary of Labor under the Copeland Act (40 U.S.C. 276c)] the full amounts of wages and bona fide fringe benefits (or cash equivalents thereof) due at time of payment. The payment shall be computed at wage rates not less than those contained in the .wage determination of the Secretary of Labor (hereinafter "the wage determination") which is attached hereto and made a part hereof, regardless of any contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist between the contractor or•its subcontractors afld-such laborers and mechanics. The wage determination (including any additional classifications and wage rates conformed under paragraph 2 of this Section IV and the DOL poster (WH-1321) or Form FHWA-1495) 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. For the purpose of this Section, contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits under Section 1(b)(2) of the Davis -Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. 276a) on behalf of laborers or mechanics are considered wages paid to such laborers or mechanics, subject to the provi- sions of Section IV, paragraph 3b, hereof. Also, for the purpose of this Section, 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 mechanics shall be paid the appropriate wage rate and fringe benefitson the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed, July 21, 1999 REQUIRED CONTRACT PROVISIONS FEDERAL -AID CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS without regard to skill, except as provided in paragraphs 4 and 5 of this Section IV. b. 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. c. All rulings and interpretations of the Davis -Bacon Act and related acts contained in 29 CFR 1, 3, and 5 are herein incorpo- rated by reference in this contract. 2. Classification: a. The SHA contracting officer shall require that any class of laborers or mechanics employed under the contract, which is not listed in the wage determination, shall be classified in conformance with the wage determination. b. The contracting officer shall approve an additional classification, wage rate and fringe benefits only when the following criteria have been met: (1) the work to be performed by the additional classifi- cation requested is not performed by a classification in the wage determination; (2) the additional classification is utilized in the area by the construction industry; (3) the proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a reasonable relationship to the wage rates contained in the wage determination; and (4) with respect to helpers, when such a classification prevails in the area in which the work is performed. c. If the contractor or subcontractors, as appropriate, the laborers and mechanics (if known) to be employed in the addition- al classification 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 DOL, Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division, Employment Stan- dards Administration, Washington, D.C. 20210. The Wage and Hour 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. d. In the event the contractor or subcontractors, as appro- priate, the laborers or mechanics to be employed in the additional 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 recommenda- tion of the contracting officer, to the Wage and Hour Administrator for determination. Said Administrator, or an authorized represen- tative, 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 e. The wage rate (including fringe benefits where appropri- ate) determined pursuant to paragraph 2c or 2d of this Section IV shall be paid to all workers performing work in the additional classification from the first day on which work is performed in the classification. 3. Payment of Fringe Benefits: a. 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 or subcontractors, as appropriate, shall either pay the benefit as stated in the wage determination or shall pay another bona fide fringe benefit or an hourly case equivalent thereof. b. If the contractor or subcontractor, as appropriate, does not make payments to a trustee or other third person, he/she may consider as a 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 Secre- tary 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. 4. Apprentices and Trainees (Programs of the-U.S. DOL) and Helpers: a. Apprentices: (1) 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 DOL, Employment and Training Administration, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, or with a Stale apprenticeship agency recognized by the Bureau, or if a person is employed in his/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 Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training or a State apprenticeship agency (where appropriate) to be eligible for probationary employment as an apprentice. (2) The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeyman - level employees 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 employee 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 listed in the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any appren- tice 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 or subcontractor is performing construction on a project in a locality other than that in which its program is registered; the ratios and wage -rates (ex- pressed in percentages of the joumeyman-level hourly rate) specified in the contractor's or subcontractor's registered program shall be observed. (3) 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 journeyman -level houdy 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 for the Wage and Hour Division determines that a different practice prevails for the applicable apprentice classification, fringes shall be paid in accordance with that determination. (4) In the event the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, or a State apprenticeship agency recognized by the 6 REQUIRED CONTRACT PROVISIONS FEDERAL -AID CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS Bureau, withdraws approval of an apprenticeship program, the contractor or subcontractor will no longer be permitted to utilize apprentices at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the comparable work performed by regular employees until an accept- able program Is approved. b. Trainees: (1) 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 individually registered in a program which has received prior approval, evidenced by formal certification by the DOL, Employ- ment and Training Administration. (2) The ratio of trainees to journeyman -level employees on the job site shall not be greater than permitted under the plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration. Any employee listed on the payroll at a trainee rate who is not regis- tered and participating in a training plan approved by the Employ- ment and Training Administration shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate.on the wage determination for the dassifica- lion of work actually performed. In addition, any trainee perform- ing 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. (3) Every trainee must be paid at not less than the rate specified in. the approved program for his/her level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the joumeyman4evel 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 -level wage rate on the wage determination which provides for less than.full fringe benefits for apprentices, in which case such trainees shall receive the same fringe benefits as apprentices. (4) In the event the Employment and Training Adminis- tration withdraws approval of a training program, the contractor or subcontractor 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. Helpers: Helpers will be permitted to work on a project if the helper classification is specified and defined on the applicable wage determination or is approved pursuant to the conformance procedure set forth in Section IV.2. Any worker listed on a payroll at a helper wage rate, who is not a helper under a approved defini- tion, shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually per- formed. 5. 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 require- ments 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 apprentic- es and trainees to journeymen shall not be greater than permitted by the terms of the particular program. July 21, 1999 The SHA shall upon its own action or upon written request of an authorized representative of the DOL withhold, or cause to be withheld, from the contractor or subcontractor 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, as 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, em- ployed or working on the site of the work, all or part of the wages required by the contract, the SHA contracting officer 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. 7. Overtime Requirements:. No contractor or subcontractor contracting for any part of the contract work which may require or involve the employment of laborers, mechanics, watchmen, or guards (including apprentices, trainees, and helpers described in paragraphs 4 and 5 above) shall require or permit any laborer, mechanic, watchman, -or guard in any workweek in which he/she is employed on such work, to work in excess of 40 hours in such workweek unless such laborer, mechanic, watchman, or guard receives compensation at a rate not less than one -and -one-half times his/her basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of 40 hours in such workweek. 8. Violation: Liability for Unpaid Wages; Liquidated Damages: In the event of any violation of the clause set forth in paragraph 7 above, the contractor and any subcontractor responsible thereof shall be liable to the affected employee for his/her 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, mechanic, watchman, or guard employed in violation of the clause set forth in paragraph 7, in the sum of $10 for each calendar day on which such employee was required or permitted to work in excess of the standard work week of 40 hours without payment of the overtime wages required by the clause set forth in paragraph 7. 9. Withholding for Unpaid Wages and Liquidated Damages: The SHA shall upon its own action or upon writterrrequest of any authorized representative of the DOL withhold, or cause to be withheld, from any monies 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 Federallyassisted 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 8 above.
