FEDERAL TRANSIT ADMINISTRATION
Federally Required and Other Model Contract Clauses
1. NO GOVERNMENT OBLIGATION TO THIRD PARTIES
Applicability to Contracts
Applicable to all contracts.
Flow Down
Not required by statute or regulation for either primary contractors or subcontractors, this concept should flow
down to all levels to clarify, to all parties to the contract, that the Federal Government does not have contractual
liability to third parties, absent specific written consent.
Model Clause/Language
While no specific language is required, FTA has developed the following language.
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. PROGRAM FRAUD AND FALSE OR FRAUDULENT STATEMENTS AND RELATED ACTS
(31 U.S.C. 3801 et seq. 49 CFR Part 31 18 U.S.C. 1001 49 U.S.C. 5307)
Applicability to Contracts
These requirements are applicable to all contracts.
Flow Down
These requirements flow down to contractors and subcontractors who make, present, or submit covered claims
and statements.
Model Clause/Language
These requirements have no specified language, so FTA proffers the following language.
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

Model Clause/Language
The specified language is not mandated by the statutes or regulations referenced, but the language provided
paraphrases the statutory or regulatory language.
Access to Records - The following access to records requirements apply to this Contract:
1. 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, 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.
2. Where the Purchaser is a State and is the FTA Recipient or a subgrantee of the FTA Recipient in accordance
with 49 C.F.R. 633.17, Contractor agrees to provide the Purchaser, the FTA Administrator or his authorized
representatives, including any PMO Contractor, access to the Contractor's records and construction sites

through the programs described at 49 U.S.C. 5307, 5309 or 5311. By definition, a major capital project excludes
contracts of less than the simplified acquisition threshold currently set at $100,000.
3. Where the Purchaser enters into a negotiated contract for other than a small purchase or under the simplified
acquisition threshold and is an institution of higher education, a hospital or other non-profit organization and is
the FTA Recipient or a subgrantee of the FTA Recipient in accordance with 49 C.F.R. 19.48, Contractor agrees
to provide the Purchaser, FTA Administrator, the Comptroller General of the United States or any of their duly
authorized representatives with access to any books, documents, papers and record of the Contractor which are
directly pertinent to this contract for the purposes of making audits, examinations, excerpts and transcriptions.
4. Where any Purchaser which is the FTA Recipient or a subgrantee of the FTA Recipient in accordance with 49
U.S.C. 5325(a) enters into a contract for a capital project or improvement (defined at 49 U.S.C. 5302(a)1) through
other than competitive bidding, the Contractor shall make available records related to the contract to the
Purchaser, the Secretary of Transportation and the Comptroller General or any authorized officer or employee of
any of them for the purposes of conducting an audit and inspection.
5. 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.

(FTA Circular 4220.1E)
Applicability to Contracts
The incorporation of FTA terms applies to all contracts.
Flow Down
The incorporation of FTA terms has unlimited flow down.
Model Clause/Language
FTA has developed the following incorporation of terms language:
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

deemed to control in the event of a conflict with other provisions contained in this Agreement. The Contractor

The Energy Conservation requirements are applicable to all contracts.
Flow Down
The Energy Conservation requirements extend to all third party contractors and their contracts at every tier and
subrecipients and their subagreements at every tier.
Model Clause/Language
No specific clause is recommended in the regulations because the Energy Conservation requirements are so
dependent on the state energy conservation plan. The following language has been developed by FTA:
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.
8. TERMINATION
(49 U.S.C. Part 18 FTA Circular 4220.1E)
Applicability to Contracts
All contracts (with the exception of contracts with nonprofit organizations and institutions of higher education,) in
excess of $10,000 shall contain suitable provisions for termination by the grantee including the manner by which
it will be effected and the basis for settlement. (For contracts with nonprofit organizations and institutions of
higher education the threshold is $100,000.) In addition, such contracts shall describe conditions under which
the contract may be terminated for default as well as conditions where the contract may be terminated because
of circumstances beyond the control of the contractor.
Flow Down
The termination requirements flow down to all contracts in excess of $10,000, with the exception of contracts with
nonprofit organizations and institutions of higher learning.
Model Clause/Language
FTA does not prescribe the form or content of such clauses. The following are suggestions of clauses to be used
in different types of contracts:
a. Termination for Convenience (General Provision) The (Recipient) 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 (Recipient) to be paid the Contractor. If
the Contractor has any property in its possession belonging to the (Recipient), the Contractor will account for the
same, and dispose of it in the manner the (Recipient) 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 (Recipient) 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 (Recipient) 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
(Recipient), 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 (Recipient) 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 (Recipient)'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 (Recipient)
setting forth the nature of said breach or default, (Recipient) 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
(Recipient) from also pursuing all available remedies against Contractor and its sureties for said breach or
default.
d. Waiver of Remedies for any Breach In the event that (Recipient) elects to waive its remedies for any breach
by Contractor of any covenant, term or condition of this Contract, such waiver by (Recipient) shall not limit
(Recipient)'s remedies for any succeeding breach of that or of any other term, covenant, or condition of this
Contract.
j. Termination for Convenience of Default (Cost-Type Contracts) The (Recipient) may terminate this contract, or
any portion of it, by serving a notice or termination on the Contractor. The notice shall state whether the
termination is for convenience of the (Recipient) or for the default of the Contractor. If the termination is for
default, the notice shall state the manner in which the contractor has failed to perform the requirements of the
contract. The Contractor shall account for any property in its possession paid for from funds received from the
(Recipient), or property supplied to the Contractor by the (Recipient). If the termination is for default, the
(Recipient) may fix the fee, if the contract provides for a fee, to be paid the contractor in proportion to the value, if
any, of work performed up to the time of termination. The Contractor shall promptly submit its termination claim
to the (Recipient) and the parties shall negotiate the termination settlement to be paid the Contractor.

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.

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 the City of Fort Collins. If it is
later determined that the bidder or proposer knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to
remedies available to the City of Fort Collins, 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. DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE (DBE)
(49 CFR Part 26)
Background and Applicability
The newest version on the Department of Transportation' s Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program
became effective July 16, 2003. The rule provides guidance to grantees on the use of overall and contract goals,
requirement to include DBE provisions in subcontracts, evaluating DBE participation where specific contract
goals have been set, reporting requirements, and replacement of DBE subcontractors. Additionally, the DBE
program dictates payment terms and conditions (including limitations on retainage) applicable to all
subcontractors regardless of whether they are DBE firms or not.
The DBE program applies to all DOT-assisted contracting activities. A formal clause such as that below must be
