================================================================
Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within the scope of the
classifications listed may be added after award only as provided in the labor standards
contract clauses (29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii)).
----------------------------------------------------------------
The body of each wage determination lists the classification and wage rates that have
been found to be prevailing for the cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by
the wage determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical order of
"identifiers" that indicate whether the particular rate is union or non-union.
Union Identifiers
An identifier enclosed in dotted lines beginning with characters other than "SU" denotes
that the union classification and rate have found to be prevailing for that classification.
Example: PLUM0198-005 07/01/2011. The first four letters , PLUM, indicate the
international union and the four-digit number, 0198, that follows indicates the local union
number or district council number where applicable , i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The
next number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage
determination. The date, 07/01/2011, following these characters is the effective date of
the most current negotiated rate/collective bargaining agreement which would be July 1,
2011 in the above example.
Union prevailing wage rates will be updated to reflect any changes in the collective
bargaining agreements governing the rate.
Non-Union Identifiers
Classifications listed under an "SU" identifier were derived from survey data by
computing average rates and are not union rates; however, the data used in computing
these rates may include both union and non-union data. Example: SULA2004-007
5/13/2010. SU indicates the rates are not union rates, LA indicates the State of
Louisiana; 2004 is the year of the survey; and 007 is an internal number used in
producing the wage determination. A 1993 or later date, 5/13/2010, indicates the
classifications and rates under that identifier were issued as a General Wage
Determination on that date.
BID 7391 Miscellaneous Concrete Annual Page 32 of 54
Survey wage rates will remain in effect and will not change until a new survey is
conducted.
----------------------------------------------------------------
WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS
1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can be:
* an existing published wage determination
* a survey underlying a wage determination
* a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on a wage determination
matter
* a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling
On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests for summaries of surveys,
should be with the Wage and Hour Regional Office for the area in which the survey was
conducted because those Regional Offices have responsibility for the Davis-Bacon
survey program. If the response from this initial contact is not satisfactory, then the
process described in 2.) and 3.) should be followed.
With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal process described here, initial
contact should be with the Branch of Construction Wage Determinations. Write to:
Branch of Construction Wage Determinations
Wage and Hour Division
U.S. Department of Labor
200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.
Washington, DC 20210
2.) If the answer to the question in 1.) is yes, then an interested party (those affected by
the action) can request review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour
Administrator (See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7). Write to:
Wage and Hour Administrator
U.S. Department of Labor
200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.
Washington, DC 20210
The request should be accompanied by a full statement of the interested party's position
and by any information (wage payment data, project description, area practice material,
etc.) that the requestor considers relevant to the issue.
3.) If the decision of the Administrator is not favorable, an interested party may appeal
directly to the Administrative Review Board (formerly the Wage Appeals Board). Write
to:
BID 7391 Miscellaneous Concrete Annual Page 33 of 54
Administrative Review Board
U.S. Department of Labor
200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.
Washington, DC 20210
4.) All decisions by the Administrative Review Board are final.

1. NO GOVERNMENT OBLIGATION TO THIRD PARTIES
No Obligation by the Federal Government.
(1) The Purchaser and Contractor acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding any concurrence
by the Federal Government in or approval of the solicitation or award of the underlying contract,
absent the express written consent by the Federal Government, the Federal Government is not a
party to this contract and shall not be subject to any obligations or liabilities to the Purchaser,
Contractor, or any other party (whether or not a party to that contract) pertaining to any matter
resulting from the underlying contract.
(2) The Contractor agrees to include the above clause in each subcontract financed in whole or in
part with Federal assistance provided by FTA. It is further agreed that the clause shall not be
modified, except to identify the subcontractor who will be subject to its provisions.
2. PROGRAM FRAUD AND FALSE OR FRAUDULENT STATEMENTS AND
RELATED ACTS
Program Fraud and False or Fraudulent Statements or Related Acts.
(1) The Contractor acknowledges that the provisions of the Program Fraud Civil Remedies Act of
1986, as amended, 31 U.S.C. § 3801 et seq. and U.S. DOT regulations, "Program Fraud Civil
Remedies," 49 C.F.R. Part 31, apply to its actions pertaining to this Project. Upon execution of the
underlying contract, the Contractor certifies or affirms the truthfulness and accuracy of any
statement it has made, it makes, it may make, or causes to be made, pertaining to the underlying
contract or the FTA assisted project for which this contract work is being performed. In addition to
other penalties that may be applicable, the Contractor further acknowledges that if it makes, or
causes to be made, a false, fictitious, or fraudulent claim, statement, submission, or certification, the
Federal Government reserves the right to impose the penalties of the Program Fraud Civil
Remedies Act of 1986 on the Contractor to the extent the Federal Government deems appropriate.
(2) The Contractor also acknowledges that if it makes, or causes to be made, a false, fictitious, or
fraudulent claim, statement, submission, or certification to the Federal Government under a contract
connected with a project that is financed in whole or in part with Federal assistance originally
awarded by FTA under the authority of 49 U.S.C. § 5307, the Government reserves the right to
impose the penalties of 18 U.S.C. § 1001 and 49 U.S.C. § 5307(n)(1) on the Contractor, to the
extent the Federal Government deems appropriate.
(3) The Contractor agrees to include the above two clauses in each subcontract financed in whole
or in part with Federal assistance provided by FTA. It is further agreed that the clauses shall not be
modified, except to identify the subcontractor who will be subject to the provisions.
3. ACCESS TO RECORDS AND REPORTS
Access to Records - The following access to records requirements apply to this Contract:
A. Where the Purchaser is not a State but a local government and is the FTA Recipient or a
subgrantee of the FTA Recipient in accordance with 49 C.F.R. 18.36(i), the Contractor
agrees to provide the Purchaser, the FTA Administrator, the Comptroller General of the
United States or any of their authorized representatives access to any books,
BID 7391 Miscellaneous Concrete Annual Page 36 of 54
documents, papers and records of the Contractor which are directly pertinent to this
contract for the purposes of making audits, examinations, excerpts and transcriptions.
Contractor also agrees, pursuant to 49 C.F.R. 633.17 to provide the FTA Administrator
or his authorized representatives including any PMO Contractor access to Contractor's
records and construction sites pertaining to a major capital project, defined at 49 U.S.C.
5302(a)1, which is receiving federal financial assistance through the programs described
at 49 U.S.C. 5307, 5309 or 5311.
B. The Contractor agrees to permit any of the foregoing parties to reproduce by any means
whatsoever or to copy excerpts and transcriptions as reasonably needed.

under this contract for a period of not less than three years after the date of termination
or expiration of this contract, except in the event of litigation or settlement of claims
arising from the performance of this contract, in which case Contractor agrees to
maintain same until the Purchaser, the FTA Administrator, the Comptroller General, or
any of their duly authorized representatives, have disposed of all such litigation, appeals,
claims or exceptions related thereto. Reference 49 CFR 18.39(i)(11).

time to time during the term of this contract. Contractor's failure to so comply shall constitute a
material breach of this contract.
5. TERMINATION
a. Termination for Convenience (General Provision) The City may terminate
this contract, in whole or in part, at any time by written notice to the Contractor when it is in the
Government's best interest. The Contractor shall be paid its costs, including contract close-out
costs, and profit on work performed up to the time of termination. The Contractor shall promptly
submit its termination claim to the City to be paid the Contractor. If the Contractor has any property
in its possession belonging to the City, the Contractor will account for the same, and dispose of it in
the manner the City directs.
b. Termination for Default [Breach or Cause] (General Provision) If the Contractor does
not deliver supplies in accordance with the contract delivery schedule, or, if the contract is for
services, the Contractor fails to perform in the manner called for in the contract, or if the Contractor
fails to comply with any other provisions of the contract, the City may terminate this contract for
default. Termination shall be effected by serving a notice of termination on the contractor setting
forth the manner in which the Contractor is in default. The contractor will only be paid the contract
price for supplies delivered and accepted, or services performed in accordance with the manner of
performance set forth in the contract.
If it is later determined by the City that the Contractor had an excusable reason for not performing,
such as a strike, fire, or flood, events which are not the fault of or are beyond the control of the
Contractor, the City, after setting up a new delivery of performance schedule, may allow the
Contractor to continue work, or treat the termination as a termination for convenience.
c. Opportunity to Cure (General Provision) The City in its sole discretion may, in the
case of a termination for breach or default, allow the Contractor [an appropriately short period of
time] in which to cure the defect. In such case, the notice of termination will state the time period in
which cure is permitted and other appropriate conditions
If Contractor fails to remedy to the City’s satisfaction the breach or default of any of the terms,
covenants, or conditions of this Contract within [ten (10) days] after receipt by Contractor of written
notice from the City setting forth the nature of said breach or default, the City shall have the right to
terminate the Contract without any further obligation to Contractor. Any such termination for default
shall not in any way operate to preclude the City from also pursuing all available remedies against
Contractor and its sureties for said breach or default.
d. Termination for Default (Construction) If the Contractor refuses or fails to prosecute
the work or any separable part, with the diligence that will insure its completion within the time
specified in this contract or any extension or fails to complete the work within this time, or if the
Contractor fails to comply with any other provisions of this contract, the City may terminate this
contract for default. The City shall terminate by delivering to the Contractor a Notice of Termination
specifying the nature of the default. In this event, the Recipient may take over the work and
compete it by contract or otherwise, and may take possession of and use any materials, appliances,
and plant on the work site necessary for completing the work. The Contractor and its sureties shall
be liable for any damage to the Recipient resulting from the Contractor's refusal or failure to
complete the work within specified time, whether or not the Contractor's right to proceed with the
work is terminated. This liability includes any increased costs incurred by the Recipient in
completing the work.
BID 7391 Miscellaneous Concrete Annual Page 38 of 54
The Contractor's right to proceed shall not be terminated nor the Contractor charged with damages
under this clause if-
1. the delay in completing the work arises from unforeseeable causes beyond the
control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor. Examples of such
causes include: acts of God, acts of the Recipient, acts of another Contractor in the
performance of a contract with the Recipient, epidemics, quarantine restrictions,
strikes, freight embargoes; and
2. the contractor, within [10] days from the beginning of any delay, notifies the City
in writing of the causes of delay. If in the judgment of the City, the delay is
excusable, the time for completing the work shall be extended. The judgment of the
City shall be final and conclusive on the parties, but subject to appeal under the
Disputes clauses.
If, after termination of the Contractor's right to proceed, it is determined that the Contractor was not
in default, or that the delay was excusable, the rights and obligations of the parties will be the same
as if the termination had been issued for the convenience of the Recipient.
6. CIVIL RIGHTS REQUIREMENTS
Civil Rights - The following requirements apply to the underlying contract:
(1) Nondiscrimination - In accordance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. §

Contractor agrees to comply with all applicable equal employment opportunity requirements
of U.S. Department of Labor (U.S. DOL) regulations, "Office of Federal Contract
Compliance Programs, Equal Employment Opportunity, Department of Labor," 41 C.F.R.
Parts 60 et seq., (which implement Executive Order No. 11246, "Equal Employment
Opportunity," as amended by Executive Order No. 11375, "Amending Executive Order
11246 Relating to Equal Employment Opportunity," 42 U.S.C. § 2000e note), and with any
applicable Federal statutes, executive orders, regulations, and Federal policies that may in
the future affect construction activities undertaken in the course of the Project. The
Contractor agrees to take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and
that employees are treated during employment, without regard to their race, color, creed,
national origin, sex, or age. Such action shall include, but not be limited to, the following:
employment, upgrading, demotion or transfer, recruitment or recruitment advertising, layoff
or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for training,
BID 7391 Miscellaneous Concrete Annual Page 39 of 54
including apprenticeship. In addition, the Contractor agrees to comply with any
implementing requirements FTA may issue.
(b) Age - In accordance with section 4 of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967,
as amended, 29 U.S.C. § § 623 and Federal transit law at 49 U.S.C. § 5332, the Contractor
agrees to refrain from discrimination against present and prospective employees for reason
of age. In addition, the Contractor agrees to comply with any implementing requirements
FTA may issue.
(c) Disabilities - In accordance with section 102 of the Americans with Disabilities Act, as
amended, 42 U.S.C. § 12112, the Contractor agrees that it will comply with the
requirements of U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, "Regulations to

C.F.R. Part 1630, pertaining to employment of persons with disabilities. In addition, the
Contractor agrees to comply with any implementing requirements FTA may issue.
(3) The Contractor also agrees to include these requirements in each subcontract financed in whole
or in part with Federal assistance provided by FTA, modified only if necessary to identify the
affected parties.
7. DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE (DBE)
a. This contract is subject to the requirements of Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations,
Part 26, Participation by Disadvantaged Business Enterprises in Department of
Transportation Financial Assistance Programs. The national goal for participation of
Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) is 10%. The agency’s overall goal for DBE
participation is 9.9%. A separate contract goal has not been established for this
procurement.
b. The contractor shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in
the performance of this contract. The contractor shall carry out applicable requirements of
49 CFR Part 26 in the award and administration of this DOT-assisted contract. Failure by
the contractor to carry out these requirements is a material breach of this contract, which
may result in the termination of this contract or such other remedy as City of Fort Collins
deems appropriate. Each subcontract the contractor signs with a subcontractor must
include the assurance in this paragraph (see 49 CFR 26.13(b)).
The successful bidder/offeror will be required to report its DBE participation obtained
through race-neutral means throughout the period of performance.
c. The contractor is required to pay its subcontractors performing work related to this
contract for satisfactory performance of that work no later than 30 days after the contractor’s
receipt of payment for that work from the City of Fort Collins. In addition, is required to
return any retainage payments to those subcontractors within 30 days after
incremental acceptance of the subcontractor’s work by the City of Fort Collins and
contractor’s receipt of the partial retainage payment related to the subcontractor’s
work.
e. The contractor must promptly notify City of Fort Collins whenever a DBE subcontractor
performing work related to this contract is terminated or fails to complete its work, and must
make good faith efforts to engage another DBE subcontractor to perform at least the same
BID 7391 Miscellaneous Concrete Annual Page 40 of 54
amount of work. The contractor may not terminate any DBE subcontractor and perform that
work through its own forces or those of an affiliate without prior written consent of City of
Fort Collins.
8. INCORPORATION OF FEDERAL TRANSIT ADMINISTRATION (FTA) TERMS
Incorporation of Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Terms - The preceding provisions include, in
part, certain Standard Terms and Conditions required by DOT, whether or not expressly set forth in
the preceding contract provisions. All contractual provisions required by DOT, as set forth in FTA
Circular 4220.1E, are hereby incorporated by reference. Anything to the contrary herein
notwithstanding, all FTA mandated terms shall be deemed to control in the event of a conflict with
other provisions contained in this Agreement. The Contractor shall not perform any act, fail to
perform any act, or refuse to comply with any (name of grantee) requests which would cause (name
of grantee) to be in violation of the FTA terms and conditions.
9. GOVERNMENT-WIDE DEBARMENT AND SUSPENSION
(NONPROCUREMENT)
Background and Applicability
In conjunction with the Office of Management and Budget and other affected Federal agencies,
DOT published an update to 49 CFR Part 29 on November 26, 2003. This government-wide
regulation implements Executive Order 12549, Debarment and Suspension, Executive
Order 12689, Debarment and Suspension, and 31 U.S.C. 6101 note (Section 2455,
Public Law 103-355, 108 Stat. 3327).
The provisions of Part 29 apply to all grantee contracts and subcontracts at any level expected to
equal or exceed $25,000 as well as any contract or subcontract (at any level) for Federally required
auditing services. 49 CFR 29.220(b). This represents a change from prior practice in that the dollar
threshold for application of these rules has been lowered from $100,000 to $25,000. These are
contracts and subcontracts referred to in the regulation as “covered transactions.”
Grantees, contractors, and subcontractors (at any level) that enter into covered transactions are
required to verify that the entity (as well as its principals and affiliates) they propose to contract or
subcontract with is not excluded or disqualified. They do this by (a) Checking the Excluded Parties
List System, (b) Collecting a certification from that person, or (c) Adding a clause or condition to the
contract or subcontract. This represents a change from prior practice in that certification is still
acceptable but is no longer required. 49 CFR 29.300.
Grantees, contractors, and subcontractors who enter into covered transactions also must require
the entities they contract with to comply with 49 CFR 29, subpart C and include this requirement in
their own subsequent covered transactions (i.e., the requirement flows down to subcontracts at all
levels).
Clause Language
The following clause language is suggested, not mandatory. It incorporates the optional method of
verifying that contractors are not excluded or disqualified by certification.
Suspension and Debarment
This contract is a covered transaction for purposes of 49 CFR Part 29. As such, the
contractor is required to verify that none of the contractor, its principals, as defined at 49
CFR 29.995, or affiliates, as defined at 49 CFR 29.905, are excluded or disqualified as
defined at 49 CFR 29.940 and 29.945.
BID 7391 Miscellaneous Concrete Annual Page 41 of 54
The contractor is required to comply with 49 CFR 29, Subpart C and must include the
requirement to comply with 49 CFR 29, Subpart C in any lower tier covered transaction it
enters into.
By signing and submitting its bid or proposal, the bidder or proposer certifies as follows:
The certification in this clause is a material representation of fact relied upon by {insert agency
name}. If it is later determined that the bidder or proposer knowingly rendered an erroneous
certification, in addition to remedies available to {insert agency name}, the Federal Government
may pursue available remedies, including but not limited to suspension and/or debarment. The
bidder or proposer agrees to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR 29, Subpart C while this offer
is valid and throughout the period of any contract that may arise from this offer. The bidder or
proposer further agrees to include a provision requiring such compliance in its lower tier covered
transactions.
10. BUY AMERICA
The contractor agrees to comply with 49 U.S.C. 5323(j) and 49 C.F.R. Part 661, which provide
that Federal funds may not be obligated unless steel, iron, and manufactured products used in
FTA-funded projects are produced in the United States, unless a waiver has been granted by
FTA or the product is subject to a general waiver. General waivers are listed in 49 C.F.R. 661.7,
and include final assembly in the United States for 15 passenger vans and 15 passenger
wagons produced by Chrysler Corporation, and microcomputer equipment and software.
Separate requirements for rolling stock are set out at 49 U.S.C. 5323(j)(2)(C) and 49 C.F.R.
661.11. Rolling stock must be assembled in the United States and have a 60 percent domestic
content.
A bidder or offeror must submit to the FTA recipient the appropriate Buy America certification
(below) with all bids or offers on FTA-funded contracts, except those subject to a general waiver.
Bids or offers that are not accompanied by a completed Buy America certification must be rejected
as nonresponsive. This requirement does not apply to lower tier subcontractors.

17. DAVIS-BACON AND COPELAND ANTI-KICKBACK ACTS
Background and Application
The Davis-Bacon and Copeland Acts are codified at 40 USC 3141, et seq. and 18 USC 874.
The Acts apply to grantee construction contracts and subcontracts that “at least partly are financed
BID 7391 Miscellaneous Concrete Annual Page 46 of 54
by a loan or grant from the Federal Government.” 40 USC 3145(a), 29 CFR 5.2(h), 49 CFR
18.36(i)(5). The Acts apply to any construction contract over $2,000. 40 USC 3142(a), 29 CFR
5.5(a). ‘Construction,’ for purposes of the Acts, includes “actual construction, alteration and/or
repair, including painting and decorating.” 29 CFR 5.5(a). The requirements of both Acts are
incorporated into a single clause (see 29 CFR 3.11) enumerated at 29 CFR 5.5(a) and reproduced
below.
The clause language is drawn directly from 29 CFR 5.5(a) and any deviation from the model clause
below should be coordinated with counsel to ensure the Acts’ requirements are satisfied.
Clause Language
Davis-Bacon and Copeland Anti-Kickback Acts
(1) Minimum wages –
(i) All laborers and mechanics employed or working upon the site of the work (or under
the United States Housing Act of 1937 or under the Housing Act of 1949 in the
construction or development of the project), will be paid unconditionally and not less
often than once a week, and without subsequent deduction or rebate on any account
(except such payroll deductions as are permitted by regulations issued by the Secretary
of Labor under the Copeland Act (29 CFR part 3)), the full amount of wages and bona
fide fringe benefits (or cash equivalents thereof) due at time of payment computed at
rates not less than those contained in the wage determination of the Secretary of Labor
which is attached hereto and made a part hereof, regardless of any contractual
relationship which may be alleged to exist between the contractor and such laborers and
mechanics.
Contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits under
section 1(b)(2) of the Davis-Bacon Act on behalf of laborers or mechanics are
considered wages paid to such laborers or mechanics, subject to the provisions of
paragraph (1)(iv) of this section; also, regular contributions made or costs incurred for
more than a weekly period (but not less often than quarterly) under plans, funds, or
programs which cover the particular weekly period, are deemed to be constructively
made or incurred during such weekly period. Such laborers and mechanics shall be
paid the appropriate wage rate and fringe benefits on the wage determination for the
classification of work actually performed, without regard to skill, except as provided in 29
CFR Part 5.5(a)(4). Laborers or mechanics performing work in more than one
classification may be compensated at the rate specified for each classification for the
time actually worked therein: Provided, That the employer's payroll records accurately
set forth the time spent in each classification in which work is performed. The wage
determination (including any additional classifications and wage rates conformed under
paragraph (1)(ii) of this section) and the Davis-Bacon poster (WH-1321) shall be posted
at all times by the contractor and its subcontractors at the site of the work in a prominent
and accessible place where it can be easily seen by the workers.
(ii)(A) The contracting officer shall require that any class of laborers or mechanics,
including helpers, which is not listed in the wage determination and which is to be
employed under the contract shall be classified in conformance with the wage
determination. The contracting officer shall approve an additional classification and
wage rate and fringe benefits therefore only when the following criteria have been met:
(1) Except with respect to helpers as defined as 29 CFR 5.2(n)(4), the work to be
BID 7391 Miscellaneous Concrete Annual Page 47 of 54
performed by the classification requested is not performed by a classification in the
wage determination; and
(2) The classification is utilized in the area by the construction industry; and
(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 as defined in 29 CFR 5.2(n)(4), such a
classification prevails in the area in which the work is performed.
(B) If the contractor and the laborers and mechanics to be employed in the
classification (if known), or their representatives, and the contracting officer
agree on the classification and wage rate (including the amount designated
for fringe benefits where appropriate), a report of the action taken shall be
sent by the contracting officer to the Administrator of the Wage and Hour
Division, Employment Standards Administration, U.S. Department of Labor,
Washington, DC 20210. The Administrator, or an authorized representative,
will approve, modify, or disapprove every additional classification action
within 30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting officer or will notify
the contracting officer within the 30-day period that additional time is
necessary.
(C) In the event the contractor, the laborers or mechanics to be employed in
the classification or their representatives, and the contracting officer do not
agree on the proposed classification and wage rate (including the amount
designated for fringe benefits, where appropriate), the contracting officer
shall refer the questions, including the views of all interested parties and the
recommendation of the contracting officer, to the Administrator for
determination. The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will issue
a determination within 30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting
officer or will notify the contracting officer within the 30-day period that
additional time is necessary.
(D) The wage rate (including fringe benefits where appropriate) determined
pursuant to paragraphs (a)(1)(ii) (B) or (C) of this section, shall be paid to all
workers performing work in the classification under this contract from the first
day on which work is performed in the classification.
(iii) Whenever the minimum wage rate prescribed in the contract for a class
of laborers or mechanics includes a fringe benefit which is not expressed as
an hourly rate, the contractor shall either pay the benefit as stated in the
wage determination or shall pay another bona fide fringe benefit or an hourly
cash equivalent thereof.
(iv) If the contractor does not make payments to a trustee or other third
person, the contractor may consider as part of the wages of any laborer or
mechanic the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing bona
fide fringe benefits under a plan or program, Provided, That the Secretary of
Labor has found, upon the written request of the contractor, that the
BID 7391 Miscellaneous Concrete Annual Page 48 of 54
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.
(v)(A) The contracting officer shall require that any class of laborers or mechanics which
is not listed in the wage determination and which is to be employed under the contract
shall be classified in conformance with the wage determination. The contracting officer
shall approve an additional classification and wage rate and fringe benefits therefore
only when the following criteria have been met:
(1) The work to be performed by the classification requested is not performed by a
classification in the wage determination; and
(2) The classification is utilized in the area by the construction industry; and
(3) The proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a reasonable
relationship to the wage rates contained in the wage determination.
(B) If the contractor and the laborers and mechanics to be employed in the
classification (if known), or their representatives, and the contracting officer agree on
the classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits
where appropriate), a report of the action taken shall be sent by the contracting
officer to the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division, Employment Standards
Administration, Washington, DC 20210. The Administrator, or an authorized
representative, will approve, modify, or disapprove every additional classification
action within 30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting officer or will notify the
contracting officer within the 30-day period that additional time is necessary.
(C) In the event the contractor, the laborers or mechanics to be employed in the
classification or their representatives, and the contracting officer do not agree on the
proposed classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe
benefits, where appropriate), the contracting officer shall refer the questions,
including the views of all interested parties and the recommendation of the
contracting officer, to the Administrator for determination. The Administrator, or an
authorized representative, will issue a determination with 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) The wage rate (including fringe benefits where appropriate) determined pursuant
to paragraphs (a)(1)(v) (B) or (C) of this section, shall be paid to all workers
performing work in the classification under this contract from the first day on which
work is performed in the classification.
(2) Withholding - The City of Fort Collins shall upon its own action or upon written
request of an authorized representative of the Department of Labor withhold or cause to be
withheld from the contractor under this contract or any other Federal contract with the same
prime contractor, or any other federally-assisted contract subject to Davis-Bacon prevailing
wage requirements, which is held by the same prime contractor, so much of the accrued
payments or advances as may be considered necessary to pay laborers and mechanics,
including apprentices, trainees, and helpers, employed by the contractor or any
subcontractor the full amount of wages required by the contract. In the event of failure to
BID 7391 Miscellaneous Concrete Annual Page 49 of 54
pay any laborer or mechanic, including any apprentice, trainee, or helper, employed or
working on the site of the work (or under the United States Housing Act of 1937 or under the
Housing Act of 1949 in the construction or development of the project), all or part of the
wages required by the contract, the City of Fort Collins may, after written notice to the
contractor, sponsor, applicant, or owner, take such action as may be necessary to cause
the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds until such violations
have ceased.
(3) Payrolls and basic records –
(i) Payrolls and basic records relating thereto shall be maintained by the contractor
during the course of the work and preserved for a period of three years thereafter for all
laborers and mechanics working at the site of the work (or under the United States
Housing Act of 1937, or under the Housing Act of 1949, in the construction or
development of the project). Such records shall contain the name, address, and social
security number of each such worker, his or her correct classification, hourly rates of
wages paid (including rates of contributions or costs anticipated for bona fide fringe
benefits or cash equivalents thereof of the types described in section 1(b)(2)(B) of the
Davis-Bacon Act), daily and weekly number of hours worked, deductions made and
actual wages paid. Whenever the Secretary of Labor has found under 29 CFR
5.5(a)(1)(iv) that the wages of any laborer or mechanic include the amount of any costs
reasonably anticipated in providing benefits under a plan or program described in
section 1(b)(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act, the contractor shall maintain records which
show that the commitment to provide such benefits is enforceable, that the plan or
program is financially responsible, and that the plan or program has been
communicated in writing to the laborers or mechanics affected, and records which show
the costs anticipated or the actual cost incurred in providing such benefits. Contractors
employing apprentices or trainees under approved programs shall maintain written
evidence of the registration of apprenticeship programs and certification of trainee
programs, the registration of the apprentices and trainees, and the ratios and wage
rates prescribed in the applicable programs.
(ii)(A) The contractor shall submit weekly for each week in which any contract work is
performed a copy of all payrolls to the City of Fort Collins for transmission to the
Federal Transit Administration. The payrolls submitted shall set out accurately and
completely all of the information required to be maintained under section 5.5(a)(3)(i) of
Regulations, 29 CFR part 5. This information may be submitted in any form desired.
Optional Form WH-347 is available for this purpose and may be purchased from the
Superintendent of Documents (Federal Stock Number 029-005-00014-1), U.S.
Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402. The prime contractor is
responsible for the submission of copies of payrolls by all subcontractors.
(B) Each payroll submitted shall be accompanied by a "Statement of Compliance,"
signed by the contractor or subcontractor or his or her agent who pays or supervises the
payment of the persons employed under the contract and shall certify the following:
(1) That the payroll for the payroll period contains the information required to
be maintained under section 5.5(a)(3)(i) of Regulations, 29 CFR part 5 and
that such information is correct and complete;
(2) That each laborer or mechanic (including each helper, apprentice, and
trainee) employed on the contract during the payroll period has been paid
BID 7391 Miscellaneous Concrete Annual Page 50 of 54
the full weekly wages earned, without rebate, either directly or indirectly, and
that no deductions have been made either directly or indirectly from the full
wages earned, other than permissible deductions as set forth in Regulations,
29 CFR part 3;
(3) That each laborer or mechanic has been paid not less than the
applicable wage rates and fringe benefits or cash equivalents for the
classification of work performed, as specified in the applicable wage
determination incorporated into the contract.
(C) The weekly submission of a properly executed certification set forth on
the reverse side of Optional Form WH-347 shall satisfy the requirement for
submission of the "Statement of Compliance" required by paragraph
(a)(3)(ii)(B) of this section.
(D) The falsification of any of the above certifications may subject the
contractor or subcontractor to civil or criminal prosecution under section
1001 of title 18 and section 231 of title 31 of the United States Code.
(iii) The contractor or subcontractor shall make the records required under
paragraph (a)(3)(i) of this section available for inspection, copying, or
transcription by authorized representatives of the Federal Transit
Administration or the Department of Labor, and shall permit such
representatives to interview employees during working hours on the job. If
the contractor or subcontractor fails to submit the required records or to
make them available, the Federal agency may, after written notice to the
contractor, sponsor, applicant, or owner, take such action as may be
necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or
guarantee of funds. Furthermore, failure to submit the required records
upon request or to make such records available may be grounds for
debarment action pursuant to 29 CFR 5.12.
(4) Apprentices and trainees –
(i) Apprentices - Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined
rate for the work they performed when they are employed pursuant to and individually
registered in a bona fide apprenticeship program registered with the U.S. Department of
Labor, Employment and Training Administration, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training,
or with a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Bureau, or if a person is
employed in his or her first 90 days of probationary employment as an apprentice in
such an apprenticeship program, who is not individually registered in the program, but
who has been certified by the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training or a State
Apprenticeship Agency (where appropriate) to be eligible for probationary employment
as an apprentice. The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeymen on the job site in
any craft classification shall not be greater than the ratio permitted to the contractor as
to the entire work force under the registered program. Any worker listed on a payroll at
an apprentice wage rate, who is not registered or otherwise employed as stated above,
shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the
classification of work actually performed. In addition, any apprentice performing work on
the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid
not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually
BID 7391 Miscellaneous Concrete Annual Page 51 of 54
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.
(iii) Equal employment opportunity - The utilization of apprentices, trainees and
journeymen under this part shall be in conformity with the equal employment opportunity
requirements of Executive Order 11246, as amended, and 29 CFR part 30.
(5) Compliance with Copeland Act requirements - The contractor shall comply with
the requirements of 29 CFR part 3, which are incorporated by reference in this contract.
(6) Subcontracts - The contractor or subcontractor shall insert in any subcontracts the
BID 7391 Miscellaneous Concrete Annual Page 52 of 54
clauses contained in 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1) through (10) and such other clauses as the
Federal Transit Administration may by appropriate instructions require, and also a

18. CONTRACT WORK HOURS AND SAFETY STANDARDS ACT
Background and Application
The Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act is codified at 40 USC 3701, et seq. The Act
applies to grantee contracts and subcontracts “financed at least in part by loans or grants from …
the [Federal] Government.” 40 USC 3701(b)(1)(B)(iii) and (b)(2), 29 CFR 5.2(h), 49 CFR
18.36(i)(6). Although the original Act required its application in any construction contract over
$2,000 or non-construction contract to which the Act applied over $2,500 (and language to that
effect is still found in 49 CFR 18.36(i)(6)), the Act no longer applies to any “contract in an amount
that is not greater than $100,000.” 40 USC 3701(b)(3) (A)(iii).
The Act applies to construction contracts and, in very limited circumstances, non-construction
projects that employ “laborers or mechanics on a public work.” These non-construction applications
do not generally apply to transit procurements because transit procurements (to include rail cars
and buses) are deemed “commercial items.” 40 USC 3707, 41 USC 403 (12). A grantee that
contemplates entering into a contract to procure a developmental or unique item should consult
BID 7391 Miscellaneous Concrete Annual Page 53 of 54
counsel to determine if the Act applies to that procurement and that additional language required by
29 CFR 5.5(c) must be added to the basic clause below.
The clause language is drawn directly from 29 CFR 5.5(b) and any deviation from the model clause
below should be coordinated with counsel to ensure the Act’s requirements are satisfied.
Clause Language Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards
(1) Overtime requirements - No contractor or subcontractor contracting for any part of the
contract work which may require or involve the employment of laborers or mechanics shall
require or permit any such laborer or mechanic in any workweek in which he or she is employed
on such work to work in excess of forty hours in such workweek unless such laborer or
mechanic receives compensation at a rate not less than one and one-half times the basic rate
of pay for all hours worked in excess of forty hours in such workweek.
(2) Violation; liability for unpaid wages; liquidated damages - In the event of any violation of
the clause set forth in paragraph (1) of this section the contractor and any subcontractor
responsible therefore- shall be liable for the unpaid wages. In addition, such contractor and
subcontractor shall be liable to the United States for liquidated damages. Such liquidated
damages shall be computed with respect to each individual laborer or mechanic, including
watchmen and guards, employed in violation of the clause set forth in paragraph (1) of this
section, in the sum of $10 for each calendar day on which such individual was required or
permitted to work in excess of the standard workweek of forty hours without payment of the
overtime wages required by the clause set forth in paragraph (1) of this section.
(3) Withholding for unpaid wages and liquidated damages - The (write in the name of the
grantee) shall upon its own action or upon written request of an authorized representative of the
Department of Labor withhold or cause to be withheld, from any moneys payable on account of
work performed by the contractor or subcontractor under any such contract or any other Federal
contract with the same prime contractor, or any other federally-assisted contract subject to the
Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, which is held by the same prime contractor,
such sums as may be determined to be necessary to satisfy any liabilities of such contractor or
subcontractor for unpaid wages and liquidated damages as provided in the clause set forth in
paragraph (2) of this section.
(4) Subcontracts - The contractor or subcontractor shall insert in any subcontracts the clauses
set forth in paragraphs (1) through (4) of this section and also a clause requiring the
subcontractors to include these clauses in any lower tier subcontracts. The prime contractor
shall be responsible for compliance by any subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor with the
clauses set forth in paragraphs (1) through (4) of this section.
19. ENERGY CONSERVATION REQUIREMENTS
Energy Conservation - The contractor agrees to comply with mandatory standards and policies
relating to energy efficiency which are contained in the state energy conservation plan issued in
compliance with the Energy Policy and Conservation Act.
20. RECYCLED PRODUCTS
BID 7391 Miscellaneous Concrete Annual Page 54 of 54
Recovered Materials - The contractor agrees to comply with all the requirements of Section
6002 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended (42 U.S.C. 6962),
including but not limited to the regulatory provisions of 40 CFR Part 247, and Executive Order
12873, as they apply to the procurement of the items designated in Subpart B of 40 CFR Part
247.
21. ADA Access
Accessibility. Facilities to be used in public transportation service must comply with 42 U.S.C.
Sections 12101 et seq. and DOT regulations, “Transportation Services for Individuals with
Disabilities (ADA),” 49 CFR Part 37; and Joint ATBCB/DOT regulations, “Americans with
Disabilities (ADA) Accessibility Specifications for Transportation Vehicles,” 36 CFR Part 1192
and 49 CFR Part 38. Notably, DOT incorporated by reference the ATBCB’s “Americans with
Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines” (ADAAG), revised July 2004, which include
accessibility guidelines for buildings and facilities, and are incorporated into Appendix A to 49
CFR Part 37. DOT also added specific provisions to Appendix A modifying the ADAAG, with the
result that buildings and facilities must comply with both the ADAAG and amendments thereto in
Appendix A to 49 CFR Part 37.
22. CITY OF FORT COLLINS BID PROTEST PROCEDURES
The City of Fort Collins has a protest procedure, covering any phase of solicitation or award,
including but not limited to specification or award. The protest procedures are available from the

that has been wrapped by wire mesh or
a geotextile to form an elongated
cylindrical filter. Rock socks are
typically used either as a perimeter
control or as part of inlet protection.
When placed at angles in the curb line,
rock socks are typically referred to as
curb socks. Rock socks are intended to
trap sediment from stormwater runoff
that flows onto roadways as a result of
construction activities.
Appropriate Uses
Rock socks can be used at the perimeter
of a disturbed area to control localized
sediment loading. A benefit of rock
socks as opposed to other perimeter controls is that they do not have to be trenched or staked into the
ground; therefore, they are often used on roadway construction projects where paved surfaces are present.
Use rock socks in inlet protection applications when the construction of a roadway is substantially
complete and the roadway has been directly connected to a receiving storm system.
Design and Installation
When rock socks are used as perimeter controls, the maximum recommended tributary drainage area per
100 lineal feet of rock socks is approximately 0.25 acres with disturbed slope length of up to 150 feet and
a tributary slope gradient no steeper than 3:1. A rock sock design detail and notes are provided in Detail
RS-1. Also see the Inlet Protection Fact Sheet for design and installation guidance when rock socks are
used for inlet protection and in the curb line.
When placed in the gutter adjacent to a curb, rock socks should protrude no more than two feet from the
curb in order for traffic to pass safely. If located in a high traffic area, place construction markers to alert
drivers and street maintenance workers of their presence.
Maintenance and Removal
Rock socks are susceptible to displacement and breaking due to vehicle traffic. Inspect rock socks for
damage and repair or replace as necessary. Remove sediment by sweeping or vacuuming as needed to
maintain the functionality of the BMP, typically when sediment
has accumulated behind the rock sock to one-half of the sock's
height.
Once upstream stabilization is complete, rock socks and
accumulated sediment should be removed and properly disposed.

Spill Prevention and
Response
Description
Due to the type of work and the materials involved, many
activities that occur either at a municipal facility or as part
of municipal operations have the potential for accidental
spills. Some municipal facilities operate under Spill
Prevention Control and Countermeasures (SPCC) plans
that include procedures for spill response. Proper spill
response planning and preparation enables employees and
contractors to effectively respond to problems and
minimize the discharge of pollutants to the storm sewer
system.
When services are contracted, this written procedure
should be provided to the contractor so they have the
proper operational procedures. In addition, the contract
should specify that the contractor is responsible for
abiding by all applicable municipal, state, and federal
codes, laws, and regulations.
Procedures
Spill Prevention
Keep work areas neat and well organized.
Maintain a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for
each hazardous chemical. Follow the Outdoor
Material Storage procedures.
Provide tight fitting lids for all containers.
Keep containers clearly labeled. Labels should
provide name and type of substance, stock number,
expiration date, health hazards, handling
suggestions, and first aid information.
Store containers, drums, and bags away from direct
traffic routes to prevent accidental spills.
Inspect storage containers regularly for signs of
leaking or deterioration.
Replace or repair leaking storage containers.
Use care to avoid spills when transferring materials
from one container to another.

Use powered equipment or get assistance when moving materials to and from a
storage area. Use care to prevent puncturing containers with the equipment.
Do not wash down or hose down any outdoor work areas or trash/waste container
storage areas except where wash water is captured and discharged into the sanitary
sewer (if approved).
Conduct periodic inspections to ensure that materials and equipment are being
handled, disposed/recycled, and stored correctly.
Provide adequate spill kits or lockers with sufficient equipment and supplies
necessary for each work area where the potential for spills or leaks exists.
Inspect each spill kit or locker regularly and after each spill response. Replace any
spent supplies or repair any equipment that is worn or not suitable for service.
Stock adequate personal protective equipment.
Spill Response
Safety
Consider safety at all times. Anticipate and avoid all likely hazards. Never approach, contact, or
sample an unknown substance. If a highly toxic or flammable substance is discovered, staff
should leave the immediate area and contact the appropriate identified response authority, such
as the fire department. If there is any question about a substance, contact the appropriate
identified response authority or other designated representative.
Procedures
Stop the leading edge of the spill. Block or divert the spill to avoid discharge to the
storm sewer system and to minimize the area requiring cleanup.
Determine the source of the spill and stop the spill at its source by closing a valve,
plugging a leak, or setting a container upright. Transfer material from a damaged
container.
Identify the material and volume spilled. Contact the appropriate identified
response authority or other designated representative if you cannot identify the
material and its properties.
Refer to the MSDS to determine appropriate personal protective equipment, such as
gloves and safety glasses and appropriate cleanup methods.
Clean up spills immediately to prevent spreading of wastes by wind, rain, and
vehicle traffic and potential safety hazards.
Use sand absorbents or socks, pillows, or pads to quickly capture spilled liquid and
properly dispose of all clean-up materials. Use dry clean-up methods only.
Complete all necessary reports.
Page 3 of 4
Spill Reporting
A spill of any chemical, oil, petroleum product, or sewage that enters waters of the
state of Colorado (that include surface water, ground water, and dry gullies and
storm sewers leading to surface water) must be reported immediately to the
Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.
Release of a substance into a storm drain, or onto a parking lot or roadway as part of
a storm sewer leading to surface water, is reportable. However, if the material can
be contained and cleaned within the storm sewer system to the degree that a
subsequent flow in the storm sewer will not flush the substance to waters of the
State, it may not need to be reported.
Contact the appropriate identified response authority within the municipality or
other designated representative and be prepared to provide details needed to report
the spill to the necessary agencies.
Detailed spill reporting guidance can be found at
http://www.cdphe.state.co.us/op/wqcc/Resources/Guidance/spillguidance.pdf

Utility and Storm Sewer
System Maintenance
Description
This procedure addresses utility and storm sewer system
maintenance. Utilities include power, sanitary sewer,
water conveyance systems, and the storm sewer system.
Power includes electrical and gas utilities. Maintenance
of power may require excavation and reinstallation of
lines including open cut trenching or directional boring
in landscaped areas or street right of way. Electrical and
gas line maintenance ensures services are provided to
businesses and households without interruption.
The sanitary sewer system is cleaned as part of routine
maintenance and on an emergency basis. Without
proper maintenance, sanitary sewer back-ups and
overflows may occur and can result in potential property
damage and significant health concerns if not properly
managed.
Water conveyance systems are flushed and pressure
tested as part of routine maintenance. Potable water
systems must be properly maintained to ensure delivery
of water that meets State and Federal health standards.
Failures result in water main breaks that can cause
property damage including erosion.
The storm sewer system is cleaned as part of routine
maintenance and on an emergency basis in the event of
flooding. Maintenance will remove pollutants and
ensure the system functions properly to avoid flooding.
Flooding, ponding, and uncontrolled sheet flow can
result in property damage and increased soil erosion.
When services are contracted, this written procedure
should be provided to the contractor so they have the
proper operational procedures. In addition, the contract
should specify that the contractor is responsible for
abiding by all applicable municipal, state, and federal
codes, laws, and regulations.

Monitor the jet/vacuum truck closely for leaks and use a drip pan as needed.
Wash and fuel the jet/vacuum truck per the Heavy Equipment/Vehicle
Maintenance procedure.
Properly dispose of vac truck contents.
Stay alert for any signs of illicit discharges. This includes “dry weather” flows or
pipes or hoses emptying directly into waterways or the storm sewer system.
Report any suspicious discharges or dumping to your supervisor.
Electrical and Gas Utility Maintenance
To prevent sediment, mud and particles generated by power utility maintenance
from entering the stormwater system implement inlet protection, perimeter
control, street sweeping, vehicle tracking control, stockpile management and
material management BMPs.
Restore landscaped or hardscaped areas promptly.
Potable Water Line Flushing
Remove any debris from the gutter that could wash away with the water. If
possible, sweep the flow line before flushing the line.
Direct the water so that it is not flowing over exposed soil areas in order to minimize
erosion.
Water Line Breaks
Contain spoils by building berms or installing rock socks around the area of
disturbance.
Dewater the excavation by using a vac truck.
Discharge high chlorine water to the sanitary sewer via the nearest manhole, to a
water truck, through a dechlorinating diffuser, or other method of dechlorination.
Remove sediment from the street, curb, gutter and storm inlets as needed
immediately following the repair.
Where needed, install a temporary patch or repave as soon as practicable following
the repair.
If necessary, revegetate areas as soon as practicable following the repair.
Sanitary Sewer Backup
Clear line stoppage to prevent backup into house basements and manhole overflows.
Page 3 of 4
Contain overflows by using emergency generator, pump and/or a vac truck to
intercept flows. It may be necessary to construct additional containment.
Clean up spills by washing and vacuuming the affected areas. Lime may need to be
applied for disinfection of affected areas. Lime must be removed once disinfection is
complete.
Storm Sewer System Pipes, Catch Basins, Inlet and Outlet Structures, and Culverts
Clean storm sewer system by manual cleaning or jetting the pipes using a
jet/vacuum truck to remove the material.
Do not temporarily store collected storm system cleaning debris adjacent to any
surface water, storm drain inlet, or drainageway.
Storm sewer system maintenance wastes may be either non-hazardous or hazardous.
Solid non-hazardous waste may be disposed in a sanitary landfill or recycled.
Liquid non-hazardous waste must be evaporated before disposing of it into the
landfill or discharged to the sanitary sewer system with the approval of the local
wastewater treatment plant. Hazardous waste, as defined under Colorado
Hazardous Waste Regulations (6 CCR 1007-3), must be transported and disposed of
at a permitted disposal or treatment facility.
Replace or maintain “no dumping” stencils or plaques as necessary.
Remove trash from trash racks and grated openings.
Detention and Retention Ponds
Inspect the outlet works and remove trash or vegetation from the trash racks and
grates.
Inspect side slopes of the pond for erosion and reestablish vegetation as needed.
Remove and service fountains and aerator motors as recommended.
Report any suspected water quality problems such as a change in growth or
appearance of vegetation.
Report excessive sediment accumulation, standing water beyond the designed drain
down time or damage requiring additional maintenance.
Drainageways
Drainageways include drainage channels, ditches, grass swales, and washes.
Inspect drainageways for erosion and repair if necessary.
Remove and properly dispose of trash and debris from the drainageways. Remove
sediment which could impede flow in drainageways.
Leave an unmown buffer when mowing adjacent to drainageways to filter
pollutants. Do not leave grass clippings in or next to the drainageway. Do not apply
landscape chemicals in the buffer area.

Environmental Standard Operating Procedure (ESOP)
ESOP—Power Washing (Pressure Washing) wastewater
Revision date:
10/19/2009 Page 2 of 3
1.0 Purpose
1.1 The purpose of this ESOP is to describe the appropriate methods of handling
power washing wastewater.
2.0 Scope
2.1 The scope of this ESOP is limited to the description of the allowable methods of
the disposal of power washing wastewater and the protection of the storm drainage
system; the scope does not include specifics on how to power wash.
3.0 Process
3.1 Power washing wastewater must be prevented from running uncontrolled in the
City’s storm water system. The system includes streets, inlets, gutters, ponds,
creeks, ditches, and the Poudre River. During the power washing activity, ensure
the wastewater is controlled by the utilization of the natural slope of the land, or
barriers such as inlet covers. Use of barriers on an impermeable surface also
requires that the wastewater be vacuumed, collected, and disposed of properly.
3.2 General pollution prevention procedures:
A. Use dry methods for surface pre-cleaning, such as using absorbent on
small oil spots and sweeping up trash, debris, dirt, and used absorbent
before power washing.
B. Minimize the amount of water used during power washing activities.
C. Avoid using cleaning products that contain hazardous substances (e.g.,
hydrofluoric acid, muriatic acid, sodium hydroxide, bleach) that can turn
wastewater into hazardous waste.
3.3 Prior to power washing, decide on one of the following methods of disposal:
D. Landscape--power washing wastewater may be discharged to
landscaped areas if the materials used and the material removed are
not harmful to vegetation, there is no ponding, and there is no
uncontrolled runoff to the stormwater system.
E. Wastewater treatment system-- As long as the collected wastewater
does not have an oil sheen, has a pH between 5 and 11, and does not
contain any hazardous or toxic substances, the wastewater may be
disposed of into the City’s wastewater treatment system.
1. If you add anything to the wash water (ie—a cleaning agent) or if you
have questions about the content of your power washing wastewater,

please contact the industrial pretreatment office at 221-6938.
2. Disposal into the City’s wastewater treatment system may be done
either by discharging directly to an inside drain, or by pump truck at
the Drake wastewater treatment facility. Disposing by pump truck
requires a waste hauler’s permit, and a 5 cent/gallon fee will be
charged. For fee information, or to obtain a permit, contact
the industrial pretreatment office at 221-6938.
F. Truck the waste to a different waste disposal facility.
3.4 Once wastewater has been collected, visible solids remaining in the collection area
must be swept up to prevent future discharges to the storm drain.
3.5 A sewer manhole cover may not be removed for disposal to the wastewater
system.
3.6 If you are working in an area that is serviced by a neighboring wastewater district,
such as South Fort Collins Sanitation or Boxelder, it is necessary to contact that
district’s industrial pretreatment coordinator before discharging to their system.
4.0 Training Requirements
4.1 The training requirement associated with this procedure is knowledge of the proper
management of power washing wastewater.

Vehicle Fueling
Description
Spills of gasoline and diesel fuel on the ground or on vehicles
during fueling can wash into a storm drain and cause water
pollution.
When services are contracted, this written procedure should be
provided to the contractor so they have the proper operational
procedures. In addition, the contract should specify that the
contractor is responsible for abiding by all applicable municipal,
state and federal codes, laws, and regulations.
Procedures
General
Fuel vehicles at approved locations (municipal fueling
station or offsite fueling station).
Provide spill kits near the municipal fueling location.
If fuel is stored in an above-ground tank, store fuel in
enclosed, covered tanks with secondary containment
(e.g., concrete barrier or double-walled tanks).
All fuel tanks will be inspected per State and Federal
regulations.
Periodically inspect municipal fueling locations for the
following:
For above-ground tanks, inspect tank foundations,
connections, coatings, tank walls, and piping
systems. Look for corrosion, leaks, cracks,
scratches, and other physical damage that may
weaken the tank.
Check for spills and fuel tank overfills due to
operator error.
Clean up any leaks or drips. Clean up is not completed
until the absorbent is swept up and disposed of
properly.
Report leaking vehicles to fleet maintenance.

Outdoor Fleet Maintenance
Description
Although it is recommended that fleet maintenance
activities be conducted indoors or under cover, it is
sometimes necessary to perform fleet maintenance
outdoors (e.g., equipment is too large to fit inside the
maintenance building, temporary repairs need to be made
before the equipment can be moved to the maintenance
building, breakdowns, service calls).
Some potential pollutants typically associated with outdoor
fleet maintenance activities include oil, antifreeze, brake
fluid and cleaner, solvents, batteries, and fuels. Consult the
Spill Prevention and Response procedure and the Vehicle
Fueling procedure for additional information on those
topics.
When services are contracted, this written procedure
should be provided to the contractor so they have the
proper operational procedures. In addition, the contract
should specify that the contractor is responsible for abiding
by all applicable municipal, state, and federal codes, laws,
and regulations.
Procedures
Fleet Maintenance
Fleet maintenance should be performed inside
whenever possible.
If indoor maintenance is not possible, ensure
maintenance is performed in a location where
contact with stormwater is minimized, through
berming and appropriate routing of drainage.
Provide inlet protection (berms, weighted inlet
covers, etc.) for all adjacent inlets when work is
occurring in close proximity to a storm drain
inlet.
Have absorbent pads and drip pans accessible to
capture leaks and spills during maintenance
activities.
Keep equipment clean and do not allow
excessive build-up of oil and grease.

Perform regular preventative maintenance to
minimize the occurrence of leaks and major
repairs.
Recycle and/or dispose of all wastes
properly and promptly.
Do not dump any liquids or other materials outside, especially near or in storm
drains or ditches. Sweep and pick up trash and debris as needed.
Clean up spills promptly using dry methods (do not hose down). Consult the Spill
Prevention and Response procedure for more information. Cleanup is completed
only after absorbent and rags are disposed of properly.
Body Repair and Painting
Whenever possible, conduct all body repair and painting work indoors.
Use dry cleanup methods such as vacuuming or sweeping to clean up all metal
filings, dust, and paint chips from grinding, shaving, and sanding. Dispose of the
waste properly. Debris from wet sanding can be allowed to dry overnight, then swept
and vacuumed. Liquid from wet sanding should not be allowed to enter the storm
drain. Never discharge these wastes to the storm or sanitary sewer systems.
Minimize waste from paints and thinners by carefully calculating paint needs based
on surface area and using the proper sprayer cup size.
Clean spray guns in a self-contained cleaner. Do not dispose of cleaner waste in the
storm drain.
Use sanding tools equipped with vacuum capability (if available) to pick up debris
and dust.
Material Management
Store maintenance materials and waste containers (e.g., used oil and antifreeze) in
labeled containers under cover or in secondary containment (e.g., double-walled
tanks). Chemicals should not be combined in containers.
All hazardous wastes must be labeled and stored according to hazardous waste
regulations.
Carefully transfer fluids from collection devices to designated storage areas as soon
as possible. Do not store the transferred fluids adjacent to the containers.
Store new batteries securely to avoid breakage and acid spills.
Store used batteries indoors or in secondary containment to contain potential leaks.
Recycle used batteries.
Conduct periodic inspections of storage areas to detect possible leaks.
Page 3 of 4
Do not wash or hose down the storage area except in areas where the wash water will
only enter the sanitary sewer drain as an approved discharge. Use dry clean-up
methods as often as possible.
Keep lids on waste barrels and containers, and store them indoors or under cover to
reduce exposure to rain.
Periodically inspect and maintain all pretreatment equipment, including sumps,
separators, and grease traps to ensure proper functioning.
Parts Cleaning
Use designated areas for engine, parts, or radiator cleaning. Do not wash or rinse parts
outdoors. If parts cleaning equipment is not available, use drip pans or other
containment to capture parts cleaning fluids.
Use steam cleaning or pressure washing of parts whenever possible instead of solvent
cleaning.
When steam cleaning or pressure washing is used, only discharge wastewater to an
oil/water separator connected to the sanitary sewer.
When using solvents, rinse and drain parts over the designated solvent tank so that
fluids will not drip or spill onto the floor. Use drip boards or pans to catch excess
solutions and divert them back to the tank. Allow parts to dry over the hot tank.
Recycle cleaning solution when it becomes too dirty to use. Never discharge cleaning
waste to the storm or sanitary sewer systems.
Vehicle and Equipment Washing
Vehicles should be washed, whenever possible, in the municipality’s vehicle and
equipment wash area/bay or taken to a commercial car wash.
Employee Training
Train applicable employees on this written procedure. Information regarding how to avoid
and report spills will be presented during the training.
Periodically conduct refresher training on the SOP for applicable employees who
perform outdoor vehicle maintenance.
Records
The following records could be used to document activities performed:

Heavy Equipment and Vehicle
Maintenance
Description
Regular maintenance of municipal vehicles and equipment, or
municipality-contracted vehicles and equipment prolongs the life
of the municipality’s assets and prevents the leaking of hazardous
fluids commonly associated with normal wear and tear of vehicles
and equipment.
Potential pollutants generated at vehicle maintenance facilities
include oil, antifreeze, brake fluid and cleaner, solvents, batteries
and fuels.
When services are contracted, this written procedure should be
provided to the contractor so they have the proper operational
procedures. In addition, the contract should specify that the
contractor is responsible for abiding by all applicable municipal,
state, and federal codes, laws, and regulations.
Procedures
Maintenance activities should be performed inside a maintenance
building unless the equipment is too large to fit inside or
temporary repairs need to be made before the equipment can be
moved to the maintenance building. Consult the Outdoor Fleet
Maintenance procedure when it is necessary to perform repairs
outside of the facility (breakdowns, service calls, etc.).
Vehicle Storage
Monitor vehicles and equipment closely for leaks and
use drip pans as needed until repairs can be
performed.
When drip pans are used, check frequently to avoid
overtopping and properly dispose of fluids.
Drain fluids from leaking or wrecked vehicles and
from motor parts as soon as possible. Dispose of fluids
properly.
