work of structural steel installation, rebar installation, heating, ventilation and air conditioning, plumbing, as described in
Chapter 18.106 RCW, and electrical, as described in Chapter 19.28 RCW or naming more than one subcontractor to perform
the same work will result in your bid being non-responsive and therefore void.
Subcontractor(s) with whom the bidder will directly subcontract that are proposed to perform the work of structural steel installation,
rebar installation, heating, ventilation and air conditioning, plumbing, as described in Chapter 18.106 RCW, and electrical as
described in Chapter 19.28 RCW must be listed below. The work to be performed is to be listed below the subcontractor(s) name.
To the extent the Project includes one or more categories of work referenced in RCW 39.30.060, and no subcontractor is

Proposal for Incorporating Recycled Materials into the Project
In compliance with RCW 70A.205.700, the Bidder shall propose below, the total percent of
construction aggregate and concrete materials to be incorporated into the Project that are
recycled materials. Calculated percentages must be within the amounts allowed in Section
9-03.21(1)E, Table on Maximum Allowable Percent (By Weight) of Recycled Material, of the
Standard Specifications.
Proposed total percentage: _____________________________ percent.
Note: Use of recycled materials is highly encouraged within the limits shown above, but does
not constitute a Bidder Preference, and will not affect the determination of award, unless two or
more lowest responsive Bid totals are exactly equal, in which case proposed recycling
percentages will be used as a tie-breaker, per the APWA GSP in Section 1-03.1 of the Special
Provisions. Regardless, the Bidder’s stated proposed percentages will become a goal the
Contractor should do its best to accomplish. Bidders will be required to report on recycled
materials actually incorporated into the Project, in accordance with the APWA GSP in Section
1-06.6 of the Special Provisions.

Instructions for Disadvantaged BusinessEnterprise Utilization Certification Form
Box 1: Name of Bidder (Proposal holder) submitting Bid.
Box 2: Name of the Project.
Column 1: Name of the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE). DBE firms can be found using the Diversity Management and Compliance System web page: https://wsdot.diversitycompliance.com. Repeat the name ofthe DBE for each Project Role that will be performed.
Column 2: The Project Role that the DBE will be performing as follows;
• Prime Contractor
• Subcontractor
• Subcontractor (Force Account)
• Work sublet as Force Account must be listed separately.
• Manufacturer
• Regular Dealer
• Work sublet to a Regular Dealer must be listed separately.
• Regular Dealer status must be approved prior to Bid submittal by the Office of Equal Opportunity,Washington State Department of Transportation, on each Contract.
• Broker
• Work sublet to a Broker must be listed separately.
List each project role to be performed by a single DBE individually on a separate row. The role is used to determine what portion of the amount to be subcontracted (Column 4) may be applied toward meeting the goal(column 5).
Column 3: Provide a description of work to be performed by the DBE. The work to be performed must be consistent with the Certified Business Description of the DBE provided at the Diversity Management and Compliance Systemweb page https://wsdot.diversitycompliance.com
• A Bidder subletting a portion of a bid item shall state “Partial” and describe the Work that is included.
• For example; “Electrical (Partial) – Trenching”.
• “Mobilization” will not be accepted as a description of Work.
Column 4: List the total amount to be subcontracted to each DBE for each Project Role they are performing.
Column 5: This is the dollar amount for each line listed in the certification that the prime intends to apply towards meeting the COA Contract goal. It may be that only a portion of the amount subcontracted to a DBE in Column 4 is eligible to be credited toward meeting the goal See Note 1, Note 2, Note 3. The Contracting Agency will utilize the sum of this column (Box 4) to determine whether or not the bidder has met the goal. In the event of anarithmetic error in summing column 5 or an error in making appropriate reductions in the amounts in columnfour, See Note 1, Note 2, Note 3, then the mathematics will be corrected and the total (Box 4) will be revisedaccordingly.
Note 1: For Work sublet as Force Account the bidder may only claim 50% of the amount subcontracted (Column 4)towards meeting the goal (Column 5). This information will be used to demonstrate that the DBE contract goalis met at the time that the bidder submits their bid. For example; amount sublet as force account = $100,000(Column 4) equates to ($100,000 X 50%) = $50,000 (Column 5) to be applied towards the goal.
Note 2: For Work sublet to a Regular Dealer the bidder may only claim 60% of the cost of the materials or supplies(Column 4) towards meeting the goal (Column 5). For example; Material cost = $100,000 (Column 4) equatesto ($100,000 X 60%) = $60,000 (Column 5) to be applied towards the goal
Note 3: For Work sublet to a Broker the bidder may only claim the fees paid to a Broker towards meeting thegoal (Column 4). For example; amount sublet to a broker = $100,000 (Column 4) equates to ($100,000 Xreasonable fee %) = $ (Column 5) to be applied towards the goal.
Box 3: Box 3 is the COA Contract goal which is the minimum required DBE participation. The goal stated in the Contract will be in terms of a dollar amount or a percentage in the Contract. When expressed as a percentageyou must multiply the percentage times the sum total of all bid items as submitted in the Bidder ’s Proposal to determine the dollar goal and write it in Box 3.

emergency contracts solely intended for debris removal). The
contractor (or subcontractor) must insert this form in each
subcontract and further require its inclusion in all lower tier
subcontracts (excluding purchase orders, rental agreements
and other agreements for supplies or services). 23 CFR
633.102(e).
The applicable requirements of Form FHWA-1273 are
incorporated by reference for work done under any purchase

payment, termination of the contract, suspension / debarment
or any other action determined to be appropriate by the
contracting agency and FHWA.
4. Selection of Labor: During the performance of this contract,
the contractor shall not use convict labor for any purpose
within the limits of a construction project on a Federal-aid
highway unless it is labor performed by convicts who are on
parole, supervised release, or probation. 23 U.S.C. 114(b).
The term Federal-aid highway does not include roadways
functionally classified as local roads or rural minor collectors.
23 U.S.C. 101(a).
II. NONDISCRIMINATION (23 CFR 230.107(a); 23 CFR Part
230, Subpart A, Appendix A; EO 11246)
The provisions of this section related to 23 CFR Part 230,
Subpart A, Appendix A are applicable to all Federal-aid
construction contracts and to all related construction
subcontracts of $10,000 or more. The provisions of 23 CFR

architectural service contracts.
In addition, the contractor and all subcontractors must comply
with the following policies: Executive Order 11246, 41 CFR
Part 60, 29 CFR Parts 1625-1627, 23 U.S.C. 140, Section 504
of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended (29 U.S.C. 794),
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended (42 U.S.C.
2000d et seq.), and related regulations including 49 CFR Parts
21, 26, and 27; and 23 CFR Parts 200, 230, and 633.
The contractor and all subcontractors must comply with: the
requirements of the Equal Opportunity Clause in 41 CFR 60-
1.4(b) and, for all construction contracts exceeding $10,000,
the Standard Federal Equal Employment Opportunity
Construction Contract Specifications in 41 CFR 60-4.3.
Note: The U.S. Department of Labor has exclusive authority to
determine compliance with Executive Order 11246 and the
policies of the Secretary of Labor including 41 CFR Part 60,
and 29 CFR Parts 1625-1627. The contracting agency and
the FHWA have the authority and the responsibility to ensure
compliance with 23 U.S.C. 140, Section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended (29 U.S.C. 794), and
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended (42 U.S.C.
2000d et seq.), and related regulations including 49 CFR Parts
21, 26, and 27; and 23 CFR Parts 200, 230, and 633.
The following provision is adopted from 23 CFR Part 230,
Subpart A, Appendix A, with appropriate revisions to conform
to the U.S. Department of Labor (US DOL) and FHWA
requirements.
1
1. Equal Employment Opportunity: Equal Employment
Opportunity (EEO) requirements not to discriminate and to
take affirmative action to assure equal opportunity as set forth
under laws, executive orders, rules, regulations (see 28 CFR
Part 35, 29 CFR Part 1630, 29 CFR Parts 1625-1627, 41 CFR
Part 60 and 49 CFR Part 27) and orders of the Secretary of
Labor as modified by the provisions prescribed herein, and
imposed pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 140, shall constitute the EEO
and specific affirmative action standards for the contractor's
project activities under this contract. The provisions of the
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 12101 et
seq.) set forth under 28 CFR Part 35 and 29 CFR Part 1630
are incorporated by reference in this contract. In the execution
of this contract, the contractor agrees to comply with the
following minimum specific requirement activities of EEO:
a. The contractor will work with the contracting agency and
the Federal Government to ensure that it has made every
good faith effort to provide equal opportunity with respect to all
of its terms and conditions of employment and in their review
of activities under the contract. 23 CFR 230.409 (g)(4) & (5).
b. The contractor will accept as its operating policy the
following statement:
"It is the policy of this Company to assure that applicants
are employed, and that employees are treated during
employment, without regard to their race, religion, sex,
sexual orientation, gender identity, color, national origin, age
or disability. Such action shall include: employment,
upgrading, demotion, or transfer; recruitment or recruitment
advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms
of compensation; and selection for training, including
apprenticeship, pre-apprenticeship, and/or on-the-job
training."
2. EEO Officer: The contractor will designate and make
known to the contracting officers an EEO Officer who will have
the responsibility for and must be capable of effectively
administering and promoting an active EEO program and who
must be assigned adequate authority and responsibility to do
so.
3. Dissemination of Policy: All members of the contractor's
staff who are authorized to hire, supervise, promote, and
discharge employees, or who recommend such action or are
substantially involved in such action, will be made fully
cognizant of and will implement the contractor's EEO policy
and contractual responsibilities to provide EEO in each grade
and classification of employment. To ensure that the above
agreement will be met, the following actions will be taken as a
minimum:
a. Periodic meetings of supervisory and personnel office
employees will be conducted before the start of work and then
not less often than once every six months, at which time the
contractor's EEO policy and its implementation will be
reviewed and explained. The meetings will be conducted by
the EEO Officer or other knowledgeable company official.
b. All new supervisory or personnel office employees will be
given a thorough indoctrination by the EEO Officer, covering
all major aspects of the contractor's EEO obligations within
thirty days following their reporting for duty with the contractor.
c. All personnel who are engaged in direct recruitment for
the project will be instructed by the EEO Officer in the
contractor's procedures for locating and hiring minorities and
women.
d. Notices and posters setting forth the contractor's EEO
policy will be placed in areas readily accessible to employees,
applicants for employment and potential employees.
e. The contractor's EEO policy and the procedures to
implement such policy will be brought to the attention of
employees by means of meetings, employee handbooks, or
other appropriate means.
4. Recruitment: When advertising for employees, the
contractor will include in all advertisements for employees the
notation: "An Equal Opportunity Employer." All such
advertisements will be placed in publications having a large
circulation among minorities and women in the area from
which the project work force would normally be derived.
a. The contractor will, unless precluded by a valid
bargaining agreement, conduct systematic and direct
recruitment through public and private employee referral
sources likely to yield qualified minorities and women. To
meet this requirement, the contractor will identify sources of
potential minority group employees and establish with such
identified sources procedures whereby minority and women
applicants may be referred to the contractor for employment
consideration.
b. In the event the contractor has a valid bargaining
agreement providing for exclusive hiring hall referrals, the
contractor is expected to observe the provisions of that
agreement to the extent that the system meets the contractor's
compliance with EEO contract provisions. Where
implementation of such an agreement has the effect of
discriminating against minorities or women, or obligates the
contractor to do the same, such implementation violates
Federal nondiscrimination provisions.
c. The contractor will encourage its present employees to
refer minorities and women as applicants for employment.
Information and procedures with regard to referring such
applicants will be discussed with employees.
5. Personnel Actions: Wages, working conditions, and
employee benefits shall be established and administered, and
personnel actions of every type, including hiring, upgrading,
promotion, transfer, demotion, layoff, and termination, shall be
taken without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual
orientation, gender identity, national origin, age or disability.
The following procedures shall be followed:
a. The contractor will conduct periodic inspections of project
sites to ensure that working conditions and employee facilities
do not indicate discriminatory treatment of project site
personnel.
b. The contractor will periodically evaluate the spread of
wages paid within each classification to determine any
evidence of discriminatory wage practices.
c. The contractor will periodically review selected personnel
actions in depth to determine whether there is evidence of
discrimination. Where evidence is found, the contractor will
promptly take corrective action. If the review indicates that the
discrimination may extend beyond the actions reviewed, such
corrective action shall include all affected persons.
d. The contractor will promptly investigate all complaints of
alleged discrimination made to the contractor in connection
with its obligations under this contract, will attempt to resolve
such complaints, and will take appropriate corrective action
2
within a reasonable time. If the investigation indicates that the
discrimination may affect persons other than the complainant,
such corrective action shall include such other persons. Upon
completion of each investigation, the contractor will inform
every complainant of all of their avenues of appeal.
6. Training and Promotion:
a. The contractor will assist in locating, qualifying, and
increasing the skills of minorities and women who are
applicants for employment or current employees. Such efforts
should be aimed at developing full journey level status
employees in the type of trade or job classification involved.
b. Consistent with the contractor's work force requirements
and as permissible under Federal and State regulations, the
contractor shall make full use of training programs (i.e.,
apprenticeship and on-the-job training programs for the
geographical area of contract performance). In the event a
special provision for training is provided under this contract,
this subparagraph will be superseded as indicated in the
special provision. The contracting agency may reserve
training positions for persons who receive welfare assistance
in accordance with 23 U.S.C. 140(a).
c. The contractor will advise employees and applicants for
employment of available training programs and entrance
requirements for each.
d. The contractor will periodically review the training and
promotion potential of employees who are minorities and
women and will encourage eligible employees to apply for
such training and promotion.
7. Unions: If the contractor relies in whole or in part upon
unions as a source of employees, the contractor will use good
faith efforts to obtain the cooperation of such unions to
increase opportunities for minorities and women. 23 CFR
230.409. Actions by the contractor, either directly or through a
contractor's association acting as agent, will include the
procedures set forth below:
a. The contractor will use good faith efforts to develop, in
cooperation with the unions, joint training programs aimed
toward qualifying more minorities and women for membership
in the unions and increasing the skills of minorities and women
so that they may qualify for higher paying employment.
b. The contractor will use good faith efforts to incorporate an
EEO clause into each union agreement to the end that such
union will be contractually bound to refer applicants without
regard to their race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation,
gender identity, national origin, age, or disability.
c. The contractor is to obtain information as to the referral
practices and policies of the labor union except that to the
extent such information is within the exclusive possession of
the labor union and such labor union refuses to furnish such
information to the contractor, the contractor shall so certify to
the contracting agency and shall set forth what efforts have
been made to obtain such information.
d. In the event the union is unable to provide the contractor
with a reasonable flow of referrals within the time limit set forth
in the collective bargaining agreement, the contractor will,
through independent recruitment efforts, fill the employment
vacancies without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual
orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, or disability;
making full efforts to obtain qualified and/or qualifiable
minorities and women. The failure of a union to provide
sufficient referrals (even though it is obligated to provide
exclusive referrals under the terms of a collective bargaining
agreement) does not relieve the contractor from the
requirements of this paragraph. In the event the union referral
practice prevents the contractor from meeting the obligations
pursuant to Executive Order 11246, as amended, and these
special provisions, such contractor shall immediately notify the
contracting agency.
8. Reasonable Accommodation for Applicants /
Employees with Disabilities: The contractor must be familiar
with the requirements for and comply with the Americans with
Disabilities Act and all rules and regulations established
thereunder. Employers must provide reasonable
accommodation in all employment activities unless to do so
would cause an undue hardship.
9. Selection of Subcontractors, Procurement of Materials
and Leasing of Equipment: The contractor shall not
discriminate on the grounds of race, color, religion, sex, sexual
orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, or disability in
the selection and retention of subcontractors, including
procurement of materials and leases of equipment. The
contractor shall take all necessary and reasonable steps to
ensure nondiscrimination in the administration of this contract.
a. The contractor shall notify all potential subcontractors,
suppliers, and lessors of their EEO obligations under this
contract.
b. The contractor will use good faith efforts to ensure
subcontractor compliance with their EEO obligations.
10. Assurances Required:
a. The requirements of 49 CFR Part 26 and the State
DOT’s FHWA-approved Disadvantaged Business Enterprise
(DBE) program are incorporated by reference.
b. The contractor, subrecipient or subcontractor shall not
discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex
in the performance of this contract. The contractor shall carry
out applicable requirements of 49 CFR part 26 in the award
and administration of DOT-assisted contracts. Failure by the
contractor to carry out these requirements is a material breach
of this contract, which may result in the termination of this
contract or such other remedy as the recipient deems
appropriate, which may include, but is not limited to:
(1) Withholding monthly progress payments;
(2) Assessing sanctions;
(3) Liquidated damages; and/or
(4) Disqualifying the contractor from future bidding as non-
responsible.
c. The Title VI and nondiscrimination provisions of U.S.
DOT Order 1050.2A at Appendixes A and E are incorporated
by reference. 49 CFR Part 21.
11. Records and Reports: The contractor shall keep such
records as necessary to document compliance with the EEO
requirements. Such records shall be retained for a period of
three years following the date of the final payment to the
contractor for all contract work and shall be available at
reasonable times and places for inspection by authorized
representatives of the contracting agency and the FHWA.
a. The records kept by the contractor shall document the
following:
3
(1) The number and work hours of minority and non-
minority group members and women employed in each work
classification on the project;
(2) The progress and efforts being made in cooperation
with unions, when applicable, to increase employment
opportunities for minorities and women; and
(3) The progress and efforts being made in locating, hiring,
training, qualifying, and upgrading minorities and women.
b. The contractors and subcontractors will submit an annual
report to the contracting agency each July for the duration of
the project indicating the number of minority, women, and non-
minority group employees currently engaged in each work
classification required by the contract work. This information is
to be reported on Form FHWA-1391. The staffing data should
represent the project work force on board in all or any part of
the last payroll period preceding the end of July. If on-the-job
training is being required by special provision, the contractor
will be required to collect and report training data. The
employment data should reflect the work force on board during
all or any part of the last payroll period preceding the end of
July.
III. NONSEGREGATED FACILITIES
This provision is applicable to all Federal-aid construction
contracts and to all related construction subcontracts of more
than $10,000. 41 CFR 60-1.5.
As prescribed by 41 CFR 60-1.8, the contractor must ensure
that facilities provided for employees are provided in such a
manner that segregation on the basis of race, color, religion,
sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin
cannot result. The contractor may neither require such
segregated use by written or oral policies nor tolerate such use
by employee custom. The contractor's obligation extends
further to ensure that its employees are not assigned to
perform their services at any location under the contractor's
control where the facilities are segregated. The term "facilities"
includes waiting rooms, work areas, restaurants and other
eating areas, time clocks, restrooms, washrooms, locker
rooms and other storage or dressing areas, parking lots,
drinking fountains, recreation or entertainment areas,
transportation, and housing provided for employees. The
contractor shall provide separate or single-user restrooms and
necessary dressing or sleeping areas to assure privacy
between sexes.
IV. DAVIS-BACON AND RELATED ACT PROVISIONS
This section is applicable to all Federal-aid construction
projects exceeding $2,000 and to all related subcontracts and
lower-tier subcontracts (regardless of subcontract size), in
accordance with 29 CFR 5.5. The requirements apply to all
projects located within the right-of-way of a roadway that is
functionally classified as Federal-aid highway. 23 U.S.C. 113.
This excludes roadways functionally classified as local roads
or rural minor collectors, which are exempt. 23 U.S.C. 101.
Where applicable law requires that projects be treated as a
project on a Federal-aid highway, the provisions of this subpart
will apply regardless of the location of the project. Examples
include: Surface Transportation Block Grant Program projects
funded under 23 U.S.C. 133 [excluding recreational trails
projects], the Nationally Significant Freight and Highway
Projects funded under 23 U.S.C. 117, and National Highway
Freight Program projects funded under 23 U.S.C. 167.
The following provisions are from the U.S. Department of
Labor regulations in 29 CFR 5.5 “Contract provisions and
related matters” with minor revisions to conform to the FHWA-
1273 format and FHWA program requirements.
1. Minimum wages (29 CFR 5.5)
a. Wage rates and fringe benefits. All laborers and
mechanics employed or working upon the site of the work (or
otherwise working in construction or development of the
project under a development statute), 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 basic hourly
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. As provided in paragraphs (d) and (e) of 29
CFR 5.5, the appropriate wage determinations are effective by
operation of law even if they have not been attached to the
contract. Contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated
for bona fide fringe benefits under the Davis-Bacon Act (40
U.S.C. 3141(2)(B)) on behalf of laborers or mechanics are
considered wages paid to such laborers or mechanics, subject
to the provisions of paragraph 1.e. 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 must be paid the
appropriate wage rate and fringe benefits on the wage
determination for the classification(s) of work actually
performed, without regard to skill, except as provided in
paragraph 4. of this section. 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.c. of this section) and the Davis-Bacon poster
(WH–1321) must be posted at all times by the contractor and
its subcontractors at the site of the work in a prominent and
accessible place where it can be easily seen by the workers.
b. Frequently recurring classifications. (1) In addition to wage
and fringe benefit rates that have been determined to be
prevailing under the procedures set forth in 29 CFR part 1, a
wage determination may contain, pursuant to § 1.3(f), wage
and fringe benefit rates for classifications of laborers and
mechanics for which conformance requests are regularly
submitted pursuant to paragraph 1.c. of this section, provided
that:
(i) The work performed by the classification is not
performed by a classification in the wage determination for
which a prevailing wage rate has been determined;
4
(ii)The classification is used in the area by the
construction industry; and
(iii)The wage rate for the classification bears a reasonable
relationship to the prevailing wage rates contained in the
wage determination.
(2)The Administrator will establish wage rates for such
classifications in accordance with paragraph 1.c.(1)(iii) of this
section. Work performed in such a classification must be paid
at no less than the wage and fringe benefit rate listed on the
wage determination for such classification.
c. Conformance. (1) The contracting officer must 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 be classified in conformance with
the wage determination. Conformance of an additional
classification and wage rate and fringe benefits is appropriate
only when the following criteria have been met:
(i)The work to be performed by the classification
requested is not performed by a classification in the wage
determination; and
(ii)The classification is used in the area by the
construction industry; and
(iii)The proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe
benefits, bears a reasonable relationship to the wage rates
contained in the wage determination.
(2)The conformance process may not be used to split,
subdivide, or otherwise avoid application of classifications
listed in the wage determination.
(3)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 will be sent by the contracting officer by email to
DBAconformance@dol.gov. 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.
(4)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
will, by email to DBAconformance@dol.gov, 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.
(5)The contracting officer must promptly notify the
contractor of the action taken by the Wage and Hour Division
under paragraphs 1.c.(3) and (4) of this section. The contractor
must furnish a written copy of such determination to each
affected worker or it must be posted as a part of the wage
determination. The wage rate (including fringe benefits where
appropriate) determined pursuant to paragraph 1.c.(3) or (4) of
this section must 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.
d. Fringe benefits not expressed as an hourly rate.
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 may
either pay the benefit as stated in the wage determination or
may pay another bona fide fringe benefit or an hourly cash
equivalent thereof.
e. Unfunded plans. 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, in accordance with the criteria set forth in
§ 5.28, that the applicable standards of the Davis-Bacon Act
have been met. The Secretary of Labor may require the
contractor to set aside in a separate account assets for the
meeting of obligations under the plan or program.
f. Interest. In the event of a failure to pay all or part of the
wages required by the contract, the contractor will be required
to pay interest on any underpayment of wages.
2. Withholding (29 CFR 5.5)
a. Withholding requirements. The contracting agency may,
upon its own action, or must, upon written request of an
authorized representative of the Department of Labor, withhold
or cause to be withheld from the contractor so much of the
accrued payments or advances as may be considered
necessary to satisfy the liabilities of the prime contractor or any
subcontractor for the full amount of wages and monetary relief,
including interest, required by the clauses set forth in this
section for violations of this contract, or to satisfy any such
liabilities required by any other Federal contract, or federally
assisted contract subject to Davis-Bacon labor standards, that
is held by the same prime contractor (as defined in § 5.2). The
necessary funds may be withheld from the contractor under
this contract, any other Federal contract with the same prime
contractor, or any other federally assisted contract that is
subject to Davis-Bacon labor standards requirements and is
held by the same prime contractor, regardless of whether the
other contract was awarded or assisted by the same agency,
and such funds may be used to satisfy the contractor liability
for which the funds were withheld. In the event of a
contractor's failure to pay any laborer or mechanic, including
any apprentice or helper working on the site of the work all or
part of the wages required by the contract, or upon the
contractor's failure to submit the required records as discussed
in paragraph 3.d. of this section, the contracting agency may
on its own initiative and after written notice to the contractor,
take such action as may be necessary to cause the
suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of
funds until such violations have ceased.
b. Priority to withheld funds. The Department has priority to
funds withheld or to be withheld in accordance with paragraph
5
2.a. of this section or Section V, paragraph 3.a., or both, over
claims to those funds by:
(1)A contractor's surety(ies), including without limitation
performance bond sureties and payment bond sureties;
(2) A contracting agency for its reprocurement costs;
(3)A trustee(s) (either a court-appointed trustee or a U.S.
trustee, or both) in bankruptcy of a contractor, or a contractor's
bankruptcy estate;
(4)A contractor's assignee(s);
(5)A contractor's successor(s); or
(6)A claim asserted under the Prompt Payment Act, 31
U.S.C. 3901–3907.
3. Records and certified payrolls (29 CFR 5.5)
a. Basic record requirements (1) Length of record retention.
All regular payrolls and other basic records must be
maintained by the contractor and any subcontractor during the
course of the work and preserved for all laborers and
mechanics working at the site of the work (or otherwise
working in construction or development of the project under a
development statute) for a period of at least 3 years after all
the work on the prime contract is completed.
(2) Information required. Such records must contain the
name; Social Security number; last known address, telephone
number, and email address of each such worker; each
worker's correct classification(s) of work actually performed;
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 40 U.S.C.
3141(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act); daily and weekly number
of hours actually worked in total and on each covered contract;
deductions made; and actual wages paid.
(3) Additional records relating to fringe benefits. Whenever
the Secretary of Labor has found under paragraph 1.e. of this
section 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 40 U.S.C.
3141(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act, the contractor must
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.
(4) Additional records relating to apprenticeship. Contractors
with apprentices working under approved programs must
maintain written evidence of the registration of apprenticeship
programs, the registration of the apprentices, and the ratios
and wage rates prescribed in the applicable programs.
b. Certified payroll requirements (1) Frequency and method
of submission. The contractor or subcontractor must submit
weekly, for each week in which any DBA- or Related Acts-
covered work is performed, certified payrolls to the contracting
agency. The prime contractor is responsible for the submission
of all certified payrolls by all subcontractors. A contracting
agency or prime contractor may permit or require contractors
to submit certified payrolls through an electronic system, as
long as the electronic system requires a legally valid electronic
signature; the system allows the contractor, the contracting
agency, and the Department of Labor to access the certified
payrolls upon request for at least 3 years after the work on the
prime contract has been completed; and the contracting
agency or prime contractor permits other methods of
submission in situations where the contractor is unable or
limited in its ability to use or access the electronic system.
(2) Information required. The certified payrolls submitted
must set out accurately and completely all of the information
required to be maintained under paragraph 3.a.(2) of this
section, except that full Social Security numbers and last
known addresses, telephone numbers, and email addresses
must not be included on weekly transmittals. Instead, the
certified payrolls need only include an individually identifying
number for each worker ( e.g., the last four digits of the
worker's Social Security number). The required weekly
certified payroll information may be submitted using Optional
Form WH–347 or in any other format desired. Optional Form
WH–347 is available for this purpose from the Wage and Hour
Division website at https://www.dol.gov/sites/dolgov/files/WHD/
legacy/files/wh347/.pdf or its successor website. It is not a
violation of this section for a prime contractor to require a
subcontractor to provide full Social Security numbers and last
known addresses, telephone numbers, and email addresses to
the prime contractor for its own records, without weekly
submission by the subcontractor to the contracting agency.
(3) Statement of Compliance. Each certified payroll
submitted must be accompanied by a “Statement of
Compliance,” signed by the contractor or subcontractor, or the
contractor's or subcontractor's agent who pays or supervises
the payment of the persons working on the contract, and must
certify the following:
(i)That the certified payroll for the payroll period contains
the information required to be provided under paragraph 3.b.
of this section, the appropriate information and basic records
are being maintained under paragraph 3.a. of this section,
and such information and records are correct and complete;
(ii)That each laborer or mechanic (including each helper
and apprentice) working on the contract during the payroll
period has been paid the full weekly wages earned, without
rebate, either directly or indirectly, and that no deductions
have been made either directly or indirectly from the full
wages earned, other than permissible deductions as set
forth in 29 CFR part 3; and
(iii)That each laborer or mechanic has been paid not less
than the applicable wage rates and fringe benefits or cash
equivalents for the classification(s) of work actually
performed, as specified in the applicable wage determination
incorporated into the contract.
(4) Use of Optional Form WH–347. The weekly submission
of a properly executed certification set forth on the reverse
side of Optional Form WH–347 will satisfy the requirement for
submission of the “Statement of Compliance” required by
paragraph 3.b.(3) of this section.
6
(5) Signature. The signature by the contractor,
subcontractor, or the contractor's or subcontractor's agent
must be an original handwritten signature or a legally valid
electronic signature.
(6) Falsification. The falsification of any of the above
certifications may subject the contractor or subcontractor to
civil or criminal prosecution under 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 31
U.S.C. 3729.
(7) Length of certified payroll retention. The contractor or
subcontractor must preserve all certified payrolls during the
course of the work and for a period of 3 years after all the work
on the prime contract is completed.
c. Contracts, subcontracts, and related documents. The
contractor or subcontractor must maintain this contract or
subcontract and related documents including, without
limitation, bids, proposals, amendments, modifications, and
extensions. The contractor or subcontractor must preserve
these contracts, subcontracts, and related documents during
the course of the work and for a period of 3 years after all the
work on the prime contract is completed.
d. Required disclosures and access (1) Required record
disclosures and access to workers. The contractor or
subcontractor must make the records required under
paragraphs 3.a. through 3.c. of this section, and any other
documents that the contracting agency, the State DOT, the
FHWA, or the Department of Labor deems necessary to
determine compliance with the labor standards provisions of
any of the applicable statutes referenced by § 5.1, available for
inspection, copying, or transcription by authorized
representatives of the contracting agency, the State DOT, the
FHWA, or the Department of Labor, and must permit such
representatives to interview workers during working hours on
the job.
(2) Sanctions for non-compliance with records and worker
access requirements. If the contractor or subcontractor fails to
submit the required records or to make them available, or
refuses to permit worker interviews during working hours on
the job, the Federal agency may, after written notice to the
contractor, sponsor, applicant, owner, or other entity, as the
case may be, that maintains such records or that employs
such workers, 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, or to permit
worker interviews during working hours on the job, may be
grounds for debarment action pursuant to § 5.12. In addition,
any contractor or other person that fails to submit the required
records or make those records available to WHD within the
time WHD requests that the records be produced will be
precluded from introducing as evidence in an administrative
proceeding under 29 CFR part 6 any of the required records
that were not provided or made available to WHD. WHD will
take into consideration a reasonable request from the
contractor or person for an extension of the time for
submission of records. WHD will determine the
reasonableness of the request and may consider, among other
things, the location of the records and the volume of
production.
(3) Required information disclosures. Contractors and
subcontractors must maintain the full Social Security number
and last known address, telephone number, and email address
of each covered worker, and must provide them upon request
to the contracting agency, the State DOT, the FHWA, the
contractor, or the Wage and Hour Division of the Department
of Labor for purposes of an investigation or other compliance
action.
4. Apprentices and equal employment opportunity (29 CFR
5.5)
a. Apprentices (1) Rate of pay. Apprentices will be permitted
to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work they
perform when they are employed pursuant to and individually
registered in a bona fide apprenticeship program registered
with the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training
Administration, Office of Apprenticeship (OA), or with a State
Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the OA. A person who is
not individually registered in the program, but who has been
certified by the OA or a State Apprenticeship Agency (where
appropriate) to be eligible for probationary employment as an
apprentice, will be permitted to work at less than the
predetermined rate for the work they perform in the first 90
days of probationary employment as an apprentice in such a
program. In the event the OA or a State Apprenticeship
Agency recognized by the OA withdraws approval of an
apprenticeship program, the contractor will no longer be
permitted to use apprentices at less than the applicable
predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable
program is approved.
(2) Fringe benefits. Apprentices must be paid fringe benefits
in accordance with the provisions of the apprenticeship
program. If the apprenticeship program does not specify fringe
benefits, apprentices must be paid the full amount of fringe
benefits listed on the wage determination for the applicable
classification. If the Administrator determines that a different
practice prevails for the applicable apprentice classification,
fringe benefits must be paid in accordance with that
determination.
(3) Apprenticeship ratio. The allowable ratio of apprentices to
journeyworkers on the job site in any craft classification must
not be greater than the ratio permitted to the contractor as to
the entire work force under the registered program or the ratio
applicable to the locality of the project pursuant to paragraph
4.a.(4) of this section. Any worker listed on a payroll at an
apprentice wage rate, who is not registered or otherwise
employed as stated in paragraph 4.a.(1) of this section, must
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 this section must be paid
not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage
determination for the work actually performed.
(4) Reciprocity of ratios and wage rates. Where a contractor
is performing construction on a project in a locality other than
the locality in which its program is registered, the ratios and
wage rates (expressed in percentages of the journeyworker's
hourly rate) applicable within the locality in which the
construction is being performed must be observed. If there is
no applicable ratio or wage rate for the locality of the project,
the ratio and wage rate specified in the contractor's registered
program must be observed.
b. Equal employment opportunity. The use of apprentices
and journeyworkers under this part must be in conformity with
7
the equal employment opportunity requirements of Executive
Order 11246, as amended, and 29 CFR part 30.
c. Apprentices and Trainees (programs of the U.S. DOT).
Apprentices and trainees working under apprenticeship and
skill training programs which have been certified by the
Secretary of Transportation as promoting EEO in connection
with Federal-aid highway construction programs are not
subject to the requirements of paragraph 4 of this Section IV.
23 CFR 230.111(e)(2). The straight time hourly wage rates for
apprentices and trainees under such programs will be
established by the particular programs. The ratio of
apprentices and trainees to journeyworkers shall not be
greater than permitted by the terms of the particular program.
5. Compliance with Copeland Act requirements. The
contractor shall comply with the requirements of 29 CFR part
3, which are incorporated by reference in this contract as
provided in 29 CFR 5.5.
6. Subcontracts. The contractor or subcontractor must insert
FHWA-1273 in any subcontracts, along with the applicable
wage determination(s) and such other clauses or contract
modifications as the contracting agency may by appropriate
instructions require, and a clause requiring the subcontractors
to include these clauses and wage determination(s) in any
lower tier subcontracts. The prime contractor is responsible for
the compliance by any subcontractor or lower tier
subcontractor with all the contract clauses in this section. In
the event of any violations of these clauses, the prime
contractor and any subcontractor(s) responsible will be liable
for any unpaid wages and monetary relief, including interest
from the date of the underpayment or loss, due to any workers
of lower-tier subcontractors, and may be subject to debarment,
as appropriate. 29 CFR 5.5.
7. Contract termination: debarment. A breach of the
contract clauses in 29 CFR 5.5 may be grounds for termination
of the contract, and for debarment as a contractor and a
subcontractor as provided in 29 CFR 5.12.
8. Compliance with Davis-Bacon and Related Act
requirements. All rulings and interpretations of the Davis-
Bacon and Related Acts contained in 29 CFR parts 1, 3, and 5
are herein incorporated by reference in this contract as
provided in 29 CFR 5.5.
9. Disputes concerning labor standards. As provided in 29
CFR 5.5, disputes arising out of the labor standards provisions
of this contract shall not be subject to the general disputes
clause of this contract. Such disputes shall be resolved in
accordance with the procedures of the Department of Labor
set forth in 29 CFR parts 5, 6, and 7. Disputes within the
meaning of this clause include disputes between the contractor
(or any of its subcontractors) and the contracting agency, the
U.S. Department of Labor, or the employees or their
representatives.
10. Certification of eligibility. a. By entering into this contract,
the contractor certifies that neither it nor any person or firm
who has an interest in the contractor's firm is a person or firm
ineligible to be awarded Government contracts by virtue of 40
U.S.C. 3144(b) or § 5.12(a).
b. No part of this contract shall be subcontracted to any
person or firm ineligible for award of a Government contract by
virtue of 40 U.S.C. 3144(b) or § 5.12(a).
c. The penalty for making false statements is prescribed in
the U.S. Code, Title 18 Crimes and Criminal Procedure, 18
U.S.C. 1001.
11. Anti-retaliation. It is unlawful for any person to discharge,
demote, intimidate, threaten, restrain, coerce, blacklist, harass,
or in any other manner discriminate against, or to cause any
person to discharge, demote, intimidate, threaten, restrain,
coerce, blacklist, harass, or in any other manner discriminate
against, any worker or job applicant for:
a. Notifying any contractor of any conduct which the worker
reasonably believes constitutes a violation of the DBA, Related
Acts, this part, or 29 CFR part 1 or 3;
b. Filing any complaint, initiating or causing to be initiated
any proceeding, or otherwise asserting or seeking to assert on
behalf of themselves or others any right or protection under the
DBA, Related Acts, this part, or 29 CFR part 1 or 3;
c. Cooperating in any investigation or other compliance
action, or testifying in any proceeding under the DBA, Related
Acts, this part, or 29 CFR part 1 or 3; or
d. Informing any other person about their rights under the
DBA, Related Acts, this part, or 29 CFR part 1 or 3.
V. CONTRACT WORK HOURS AND SAFETY STANDARDS
ACT
Pursuant to 29 CFR 5.5(b), the following clauses apply to any
Federal-aid construction contract in an amount in excess of
$100,000 and subject to the overtime provisions of the
Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act. These
clauses shall be inserted in addition to the clauses required by
29 CFR 5.5(a) or 29 CFR 4.6. As used in this paragraph, the
terms laborers and mechanics include watchpersons and
guards.
1. Overtime requirements. No contractor or subcontractor
contracting for any part of the contract work which may require
or involve the employment of laborers or mechanics shall
require or permit any such laborer or mechanic in any
workweek in which he or she is employed on such work to
work in excess of forty hours in such workweek unless such
laborer or mechanic receives compensation at a rate not less
than one and one-half times the basic rate of pay for all hours
worked in excess of forty hours in such workweek. 29 CFR
5.5.
2. Violation; liability for unpaid wages; liquidated
damages. In the event of any violation of the clause set forth
in paragraph 1. of this section the contractor and any
subcontractor responsible therefor shall be liable for the
unpaid wages and interest from the date of the underpayment.
In addition, such contractor and subcontractor shall be liable to
the United States (in the case of work done under contract for
the District of Columbia or a territory, to such District or to such
territory), for liquidated damages. Such liquidated damages
shall be computed with respect to each individual laborer or
8
mechanic, including watchpersons and guards, employed in
violation of the clause set forth in paragraph 1. of this section,
in the sum currently provided in 29 CFR 5.5(b)(2)* 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.
* $31 as of January 15, 2023 (See 88 FR 88 FR 2210) as may
be adjusted annually by the Department of Labor, pursuant to
the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990.
3. Withholding for unpaid wages and liquidated damages
a. Withholding process. The FHWA or the contracting
agency may, upon its own action, or must, upon written
request of an authorized representative of the Department of
Labor, withhold or cause to be withheld from the contractor so
much of the accrued payments or advances as may be
considered necessary to satisfy the liabilities of the prime
contractor or any subcontractor for any unpaid wages;
monetary relief, including interest; and liquidated damages
required by the clauses set forth in this section on this
contract, 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 that is held
by the same prime contractor (as defined in § 5.2). The
necessary funds may be withheld from the contractor under
this contract, any other Federal contract with the same prime
contractor, or any other federally assisted contract that is
subject to the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act
and is held by the same prime contractor, regardless of
whether the other contract was awarded or assisted by the
same agency, and such funds may be used to satisfy the
contractor liability for which the funds were withheld.
b. Priority to withheld funds. The Department has priority to
funds withheld or to be withheld in accordance with Section IV
paragraph 2.a. or paragraph 3.a. of this section, or both, over
claims to those funds by:
(1)A contractor's surety(ies), including without limitation
performance bond sureties and payment bond sureties;
(2)A contracting agency for its reprocurement costs;
(3)A trustee(s) (either a court-appointed trustee or a U.S.
trustee, or both) in bankruptcy of a contractor, or a contractor's
bankruptcy estate;
(4)A contractor's assignee(s);
(5)A contractor's successor(s); or
(6)A claim asserted under the Prompt Payment Act, 31
U.S.C. 3901–3907.
4. Subcontracts. The contractor or subcontractor must insert
in any subcontracts the clauses set forth in paragraphs 1.
through 5. of this section and a clause requiring the
subcontractors to include these clauses in any lower tier
subcontracts. The prime contractor is responsible for
compliance by any subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor
with the clauses set forth in paragraphs 1. through 5. In the
event of any violations of these clauses, the prime contractor
and any subcontractor(s) responsible will be liable for any
unpaid wages and monetary relief, including interest from the
date of the underpayment or loss, due to any workers of lower-
tier subcontractors, and associated liquidated damages and
may be subject to debarment, as appropriate.
5. Anti-retaliation. It is unlawful for any person to discharge,
demote, intimidate, threaten, restrain, coerce, blacklist, harass,
or in any other manner discriminate against, or to cause any
person to discharge, demote, intimidate, threaten, restrain,
coerce, blacklist, harass, or in any other manner discriminate
against, any worker or job applicant for:
a. Notifying any contractor of any conduct which the worker
reasonably believes constitutes a violation of the Contract
Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (CWHSSA) or its
implementing regulations in this part;
b. Filing any complaint, initiating or causing to be initiated
any proceeding, or otherwise asserting or seeking to assert on
behalf of themselves or others any right or protection under
CWHSSA or this part;
c. Cooperating in any investigation or other compliance
action, or testifying in any proceeding under CWHSSA or this
part; or
d. Informing any other person about their rights under
CWHSSA or this part.
VI. SUBLETTING OR ASSIGNING THE CONTRACT
This provision is applicable to all Federal-aid construction
contracts on the National Highway System pursuant to 23 CFR
635.116.
1. The contractor shall perform with its own organization
contract work amounting to not less than 30 percent (or a
greater percentage if specified elsewhere in the contract) of
the total original contract price, excluding any specialty items
designated by the contracting agency. Specialty items may be
performed by subcontract and the amount of any such
specialty items performed may be deducted from the total
original contract price before computing the amount of work
required to be performed by the contractor's own organization
(23 CFR 635.116).
a. The term “perform work with its own organization” in
paragraph 1 of Section VI refers to workers employed or
leased by the prime contractor, and equipment owned or
rented by the prime contractor, with or without operators.
Such term does not include employees or equipment of a
subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor, agents of the prime
contractor, or any other assignees. The term may include
payments for the costs of hiring leased employees from an
employee leasing firm meeting all relevant Federal and State
regulatory requirements. Leased employees may only be
included in this term if the prime contractor meets all of the
following conditions: (based on longstanding interpretation)
(1)the prime contractor maintains control over the
supervision of the day-to-day activities of the leased
employees;
(2)the prime contractor remains responsible for the quality
of the work of the leased employees;
9
(3)the prime contractor retains all power to accept or
exclude individual employees from work on the project; and
(4)the prime contractor remains ultimately responsible for
the payment of predetermined minimum wages, the
submission of payrolls, statements of compliance and all
other Federal regulatory requirements.
b. "Specialty Items" shall be construed to be limited to work
that requires highly specialized knowledge, abilities, or
equipment not ordinarily available in the type of contracting
organizations qualified and expected to bid or propose on the
contract as a whole and in general are to be limited to minor
components of the overall contract. 23 CFR 635.102.
2. Pursuant to 23 CFR 635.116(a), the contract amount upon
which the requirements set forth in paragraph (1) of Section VI
is computed includes the cost of material and manufactured
products which are to be purchased or produced by the
contractor under the contract provisions.
3. Pursuant to 23 CFR 635.116(c), the contractor shall furnish
(a)a competent superintendent or supervisor who is employed
by the firm, has full authority to direct performance of the work
in accordance with the contract requirements, and is in charge
of all construction operations (regardless of who performs the
work) and (b) such other of its own organizational resources
(supervision, management, and engineering services) as the
contracting officer determines is necessary to assure the
performance of the contract.
4. No portion of the contract shall be sublet, assigned or
otherwise disposed of except with the written consent of the
contracting officer, or authorized representative, and such
consent when given shall not be construed to relieve the
contractor of any responsibility for the fulfillment of the
contract. Written consent will be given only after the
contracting agency has assured that each subcontract is
evidenced in writing and that it contains all pertinent provisions
and requirements of the prime contract. (based on long-
standing interpretation of 23 CFR 635.116).
5. The 30-percent self-performance requirement of paragraph
(1)is not applicable to design-build contracts; however,
contracting agencies may establish their own self-performance
requirements. 23 CFR 635.116(d).
VII. SAFETY: ACCIDENT PREVENTION
This provision is applicable to all Federal-aid construction
contracts and to all related subcontracts.
1. In the performance of this contract the contractor shall
comply with all applicable Federal, State, and local laws
governing safety, health, and sanitation (23 CFR Part 635).
The contractor shall provide all safeguards, safety devices and
protective equipment and take any other needed actions as it
determines, or as the contracting officer may determine, to be
reasonably necessary to protect the life and health of
employees on the job and the safety of the public and to
protect property in connection with the performance of the
work covered by the contract. 23 CFR 635.108.
2. It is a condition of this contract, and shall be made a
condition of each subcontract, which the contractor enters into
pursuant to this contract, that the contractor and any
subcontractor shall not permit any employee, in performance
of the contract, to work in surroundings or under conditions
which are unsanitary, hazardous or dangerous to his/her
health or safety, as determined under construction safety and
health standards (29 CFR Part 1926) promulgated by the
Secretary of Labor, in accordance with Section 107 of the
Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (40 U.S.C.
3704). 29 CFR 1926.10.
3. Pursuant to 29 CFR 1926.3, it is a condition of this contract
that the Secretary of Labor or authorized representative
thereof, shall have right of entry to any site of contract
performance to inspect or investigate the matter of compliance
with the construction safety and health standards and to carry
out the duties of the Secretary under Section 107 of the
Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (40 U.S.C.
3704).
VIII. FALSE STATEMENTS CONCERNING HIGHWAY
PROJECTS
This provision is applicable to all Federal-aid construction
contracts and to all related subcontracts.
In order to assure high quality and durable construction in
conformity with approved plans and specifications and a high
degree of reliability on statements and representations made
by engineers, contractors, suppliers, and workers on Federal-
aid highway projects, it is essential that all persons concerned
with the project perform their functions as carefully, thoroughly,
and honestly as possible. Willful falsification, distortion, or
misrepresentation with respect to any facts related to the
project is a violation of Federal law. To prevent any
misunderstanding regarding the seriousness of these and
similar acts, Form FHWA-1022 shall be posted on each
Federal-aid highway project (23 CFR Part 635) in one or more
places where it is readily available to all persons concerned
with the project:
18 U.S.C. 1020 reads as follows:
"Whoever, being an officer, agent, or employee of the United
States, or of any State or Territory, or whoever, whether a
person, association, firm, or corporation, knowingly makes any
false statement, false representation, or false report as to the
character, quality, quantity, or cost of the material used or to
be used, or the quantity or quality of the work performed or to
be performed, or the cost thereof in connection with the
submission of plans, maps, specifications, contracts, or costs
of construction on any highway or related project submitted for
approval to the Secretary of Transportation; or
Whoever knowingly makes any false statement, false
representation, false report or false claim with respect to the
character, quality, quantity, or cost of any work performed or to
be performed, or materials furnished or to be furnished, in
connection with the construction of any highway or related
project approved by the Secretary of Transportation; or
Whoever knowingly makes any false statement or false
representation as to material fact in any statement, certificate,
or report submitted pursuant to provisions of the Federal-aid
Roads Act approved July 11, 1916, (39 Stat. 355), as
amended and supplemented;
Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 5
years or both."
10
IX. IMPLEMENTATION OF CLEAN AIR ACT AND FEDERAL
WATER POLLUTION CONTROL ACT (42 U.S.C. 7606; 2
CFR 200.88; EO 11738)
This provision is applicable to all Federal-aid construction
contracts in excess of $150,000 and to all related
subcontracts. 48 CFR 2.101; 2 CFR 200.327.
By submission of this bid/proposal or the execution of this
contract or subcontract, as appropriate, the bidder, proposer,
Federal-aid construction contractor, subcontractor, supplier, or
vendor agrees to comply with all applicable standards, orders
or regulations issued pursuant to the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C.
7401-7671q) and the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as
amended (33 U.S.C. 1251-1387). Violations must be reported
to the Federal Highway Administration and the Regional Office

This provision is applicable to all Federal-aid construction
contracts, design-build contracts, subcontracts, lower-tier
subcontracts, purchase orders, lease agreements, consultant
contracts or any other covered transaction requiring FHWA

1. Instructions for Certification – First Tier Participants:
a. By signing and submitting this proposal, the prospective
first tier participant is providing the certification set out below.
b. The inability of a person to provide the certification set out
below will not necessarily result in denial of participation in this
covered transaction. The prospective first tier participant shall
submit an explanation of why it cannot provide the certification
set out below. The certification or explanation will be
considered in connection with the department or agency's
determination whether to enter into this transaction. However,
failure of the prospective first tier participant to furnish a
certification or an explanation shall disqualify such a person
from participation in this transaction. 2 CFR 180.320.
c. The certification in this clause is a material representation
of fact upon which reliance was placed when the contracting
agency determined to enter into this transaction. If it is later
determined that the prospective participant knowingly rendered
an erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies
available to the Federal Government, the contracting agency
may terminate this transaction for cause of default. 2 CFR
180.325.
d. The prospective first tier participant shall provide
immediate written notice to the contracting agency to whom
this proposal is submitted if any time the prospective first tier
participant learns that its certification was erroneous when
submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed
circumstances. 2 CFR 180.345 and 180.350.
e. The terms "covered transaction," "debarred,"
"suspended," "ineligible," "participant," "person," "principal,"
and "voluntarily excluded," as used in this clause, are defined
in 2 CFR Parts 180, Subpart I, 180.900-180.1020, and 1200.
“First Tier Covered Transactions” refers to any covered
transaction between a recipient or subrecipient of Federal
funds and a participant (such as the prime or general contract).

transaction under a First Tier Covered Transaction (such as
subcontracts). “First Tier Participant” refers to the participant
who has entered into a covered transaction with a recipient or
subrecipient of Federal funds (such as the prime or general
contractor). “Lower Tier Participant” refers any participant who
has entered into a covered transaction with a First Tier
Participant or other Lower Tier Participants (such as
subcontractors and suppliers).
f. The prospective first tier participant agrees by submitting
this proposal that, should the proposed covered transaction be
entered into, it shall not knowingly enter into any lower tier
covered transaction with a person who is debarred,
suspended, declared ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from
participation in this covered transaction, unless authorized by
the department or agency entering into this transaction. 2
CFR 180.330.
g. The prospective first tier participant further agrees by
submitting this proposal that it will include the clause titled
"Certification Regarding Debarment, Suspension, Ineligibility
and Voluntary Exclusion-Lower Tier Covered Transactions,"
provided by the department or contracting agency, entering
into this covered transaction, without modification, in all lower
tier covered transactions and in all solicitations for lower tier
covered transactions exceeding the $25,000 threshold. 2 CFR
180.220 and 180.300.
h. A participant in a covered transaction may rely upon a
certification of a prospective participant in a lower tier covered
transaction that is not debarred, suspended, ineligible, or
voluntarily excluded from the covered transaction, unless it
knows that the certification is erroneous. 2 CFR 180.300;
180.320, and 180.325. A participant is responsible for
ensuring that its principals are not suspended, debarred, or
otherwise ineligible to participate in covered transactions. 2
CFR 180.335. To verify the eligibility of its principals, as well
as the eligibility of any lower tier prospective participants, each
participant may, but is not required to, check the System for
Award Management website (https://www.sam.gov/). 2 CFR
180.300, 180.320, and 180.325.
i. Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to
require the establishment of a system of records in order to
render in good faith the certification required by this clause.
The knowledge and information of the prospective participant
is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by
a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings.
j. Except for transactions authorized under paragraph (f) of
these instructions, if a participant in a covered transaction
knowingly enters into a lower tier covered transaction with a
person who is suspended, debarred, ineligible, or voluntarily
excluded from participation in this transaction, in addition to
other remedies available to the Federal Government, the
department or agency may terminate this transaction for cause
or default. 2 CFR 180.325.

This provision is applicable to all Federal-aid construction
contracts, design-build contracts, subcontracts, lower-tier
subcontracts, purchase orders, lease agreements, or any other
covered transaction. 46 CFR Part 381.
This requirement applies to material or equipment that is
acquired for a specific Federal-aid highway project. 46 CFR
381.7. It is not applicable to goods or materials that come into
inventories independent of an FHWA funded-contract.

Lakes) are necessary for materials or equipment acquired for a
specific Federal-aid construction project, the bidder, proposer,
contractor, subcontractor, or vendor agrees:
1. To utilize privately owned United States-flag commercial
vessels to ship at least 50 percent of the gross tonnage
(computed separately for dry bulk carriers, dry cargo liners,
and tankers) involved, whenever shipping any equipment,
material, or commodities pursuant to this contract, to the
extent such vessels are available at fair and reasonable rates
for United States-flag commercial vessels. 46 CFR 381.7.
2. To furnish within 20 days following the date of loading for
shipments originating within the United States or within 30
working days following the date of loading for shipments

Administration, Washington, DC 20590. (MARAD requires
copies of the ocean carrier's (master) bills of lading, certified
onboard, dated, with rates and charges. These bills of lading
may contain business sensitive information and therefore may
be submitted directly to MARAD by the Ocean Transportation
Intermediary on behalf of the contractor). 46 CFR 381.7.

information submitted by the contractor in the original job order
is substantially modified, the participant shall promptly notify
the State Employment Service.
3. The contractor shall give full consideration to all qualified
job applicants referred to him by the State Employment

to meet the terms of contracts, or shall submit a list of all lawsuits with 3
judgments entered against the Bidder in the five years prior to the bid submittal 4

As evidence that the Bidder meets the Supplemental Criteria stated above, the apparent 10
low Bidder must submit to the Contracting Agency by 12:00 P.M. (noon) of the second 11
business day following the bid submittal deadline, a written statement verifying that the 12
Bidder meets the supplemental criteria together with supporting documentation (sufficient 13
in the sole judgment of the Contracting Agency) demonstrating compliance with the 14
Supplemental Criteria. The Contracting Agency reserves the right to request further 15
documentation as needed from the low Bidder and documentation from other Bidders as 16
well to assess Bidder responsibility and compliance with all bidder responsibility criteria. 17
The Contracting Agency also reserves the right to obtain information from third-parties and 18
independent sources of information concerning a Bidder’s compliance with the mandatory 19
and supplemental criteria, and to use that information in their evaluation. The Contracting 20
Agency may consider mitigating factors in determining whether the Bidder complies with 21
the requirements of the supplemental criteria. 22
23
The basis for evaluation of Bidder compliance with these mandatory and supplemental 24
criteria shall include any documents or facts obtained by Contracting Agency (whether 25
from the Bidder or third parties) including but not limited to: (i) financial, historical, or 26
operational data from the Bidder; (ii) information obtained directly by the Contracting 27
Agency from others for whom the Bidder has worked, or other public agencies or private 28
enterprises; and (iii) any additional information obtained by the Contracting Agency which 29
is believed to be relevant to the matter. 30
31
If the Contracting Agency determines the Bidder does not meet the bidder responsibility 32
criteria above and is therefore not a responsible Bidder, the Contracting Agency shall notify 33
the Bidder in writing, with the reasons for its determination. If the Bidder disagrees with 34
this determination, it may appeal the determination within two (2) business days of the 35
Contracting Agency’s determination by presenting its appeal and any additional 36
information to the Contracting Agency. The Contracting Agency will consider the appeal 37
and any additional information before issuing its final determination. If the final 38
determination affirms that the Bidder is not responsible, the Contracting Agency will not 39
execute a contract with any other Bidder until at least two business days after the Bidder 40
determined to be not responsible has received the Contracting Agency’s final 41
determination. 42
43
Request to Change Supplemental Bidder Responsibility Criteria Prior To Bid: Bidders with 44
concerns about the relevancy or restrictiveness of the Supplemental Bidder Responsibility 45
Criteria may make or submit requests to the Contracting Agency to modify the criteria. 46
Such requests shall be in writing, describe the nature of the concerns, and propose 47
specific modifications to the criteria. Bidders shall submit such requests to the Contracting 48
Agency no later than five (5) business days prior to the bid submittal deadline and address 49

so notify the Engineer and request the Engineer establish the Substantial Completion 30
Date. The Contractor’s request shall list the specific items of work that remain to be 31
completed in order to reach physical completion. The Engineer will schedule an inspection 32

1-05.11(2) Final Inspection and Physical Completion Date 2
When the Contractor considers the work physically complete and ready for final 3
inspection, the Contractor by written notice, shall request the Engineer to schedule a final 4
inspection. The Engineer will set a date for final inspection. The Engineer and the 5
Contractor will then make a final inspection and the Engineer will notify the Contractor in 6
writing of all particulars in which the final inspection reveals the work incomplete or 7
unacceptable. The Contractor shall immediately take such corrective measures as are 8
necessary to remedy the listed deficiencies. Corrective work shall be pursued vigorously, 9
diligently, and without interruption until physical completion of the listed deficiencies. This 10
process will continue until the Engineer is satisfied the listed deficiencies have been 11

If action to correct the listed deficiencies is not initiated within 7 days after receipt of the 14
written notice listing the deficiencies, the Engineer may, upon written notice to the 15
Contractor, take whatever steps are necessary to correct those deficiencies pursuant to 16

Upon correction of all deficiencies, the Engineer will notify the Contractor and the 22
Contracting Agency, in writing, of the date upon which the work was considered physically 23
complete. That date shall constitute the Physical Completion Date of the Contract, but 24

It is the intent of the Contracting Agency to have at the Physical Completion Date a 29
complete and operable system. Therefore when the work involves the installation of 30
machinery or other mechanical equipment; street lighting, electrical distribution or signal 31
systems; irrigation systems; buildings; or other similar work it may be desirable for the 32
Engineer to have the Contractor operate and test the work for a period of time after final 33
inspection but prior to the physical completion date. Whenever items of work are listed in 34
the Contract Provisions for operational testing they shall be fully tested under operating 35
conditions for the time period specified to ensure their acceptability prior to the Physical 36
Completion Date. During and following the test period, the Contractor shall correct any 37
items of workmanship, materials, or equipment which prove faulty, or that are not in first 38
class operating condition. Equipment, electrical controls, meters, or other devices and 39

1. All steel and iron used in the project are produced in the United States. This means all 1
manufacturing processes, from the initial melting stage through the application of 2
coatings, occurred in the United States. 3
4
2. All manufactured products used in the project are produced in the United States. This 5
means the manufactured product was manufactured in the United States, and the cost of 6
the components of the manufactured product that are mined, produced, or manufactured 7
in the United States is greater than 55 percent of the total cost of all components of the 8
manufactured product, unless another standard for determining the minimum amount of 9
domestic content of the manufactured product has been established under applicable 10
law or regulation. 11
12
3. All construction materials are manufactured in the United States. This means that all 13
manufacturing processes for the construction material occurred in the United States. 14
15
An article, material, or supply will be classified in one of three categories: 1) Steel and Iron, 2) 16
Manufactured Product or 3) Construction Material. Only a single category will apply to an item 17
and be subject to the requirements of the BABA requirements of that category. Some contract 18
items are composed of multiple parts that may fall into different categories. Individual 19
components will be categorized as a construction material, manufactured product, or steel 20
and iron based on their composition when they arrive at the staging area or work site. When 21
steel or iron are a component of a manufactured product or construction material, the steel 22
and iron components will be subject to “Steel and Iron Requirements” of this Specification. 23

Definitions 25
26
1. Construction Material: Defined as any article, material, or supply brought to the 27
construction site for incorporation into the final product. Construction materials include 28
an article, material, or supply that is or consists primarily of: 29
30
a. Non-ferrous metals including all manufacturing processes, from initial smelting or 31
melting through final shaping, coating, and assembly; 32
33
b. Plastic and polymer-based products including all manufacturing processes, from 34
initial combination of constituent plastic or polymer-based inputs, or, where 35
applicable, constituent composite materials, until the item is in its final form); 36
37
c. Glass including all manufacturing processes, from initial batching and melting of raw 38
materials through annealing, cooling, and cutting); 39
40
d. Fiber optic cable (includes drop cable) including all manufacturing processes, from 41
initial ribboning (if applicable), through buffering, fiber stranding and jacketing, (fiber 42
optic cable also includes the standards for glass and optical fiber); 43
44
e. Optical fiber including all manufacturing processes, from the initial preform 45
fabrication stage, though the completion of the draw; 46
47
f. Lumber including all manufacturing processes, from initial debarking through 48
treatment and planing; 49

g. Drywall including all manufacturing processes, from initial blending of mined or 1
synthetic gypsum plaster and additives through cutting and drying of sandwiched 2
panels; or 3
4
h. Engineered wood including all manufacturing processes from the initial combination 5
of constituent materials until the wood product is in its final form. 6
7
Construction Materials do not include items of primarily iron or steel; manufactured 8
products; cement and cementitious materials; aggregates such as stone, sand, or 9
gravel; or aggregate binding agents or additives. 10
11
If a Construction Material is not manufactured in the United States it shall be 12
considered a Foreign Construction Material. 13
14
2. Manufactured Product: A Manufactured product includes any item produced as a result 15
of the manufacturing process. Items that consist of two or more of the listed construction 16
materials that have been combined together through a manufacturing process, and 17
items that include at least one of the listed materials combined with a material that is not 18
listed through a manufacturing process, should be treated as manufactured products, 19
rather than as construction materials. 20
21
3. Manufactured in the United States: A construction material will be considered as 22
manufactured in the United States if all manufacturing processes have occurred in the 23
United States. 24
25
4. Structural Steel: Defined as all structural steel products included in the project. 26
27
5. United States: To further define the coverage, a domestic product is a manufactured 28
steel construction material that was produced in one of the 50 states, the District of 29
Columbia, Puerto Rico, or in the territories and possessions of the United States. 30
31
Steel and Iron Requirements 32
33
Major quantities of steel and iron construction materials that are permanently incorporated 34
into the project shall consist of American-made materials only. BABA requirements do not 35
apply to temporary steel or iron items, e.g., temporary sheet piling, temporary bridges, steel 36
scaffolding and falsework. 37
38
Minor amounts of foreign steel and iron may be utilized in this project provided the cost of the 39
foreign material used does not exceed one-tenth of one percent of the total contract cost or 40
$2,500.00, whichever is greater. 41
42
American-made material is defined as material having all manufacturing processes occurring 43
domestically. 44
45
If domestically produced steel billets or iron ingots are exported outside of the area of 46
coverage, as defined above, for any manufacturing process then the resulting product does 47
not conform to the BABA requirements. Additionally, products manufactured domestically from 48
foreign source steel billets or iron ingots do not conform to the BABA requirements because 49
the initial melting and mixing of alloys to create the material occurred in a foreign country. 50

Manufacturing begins with the initial melting and mixing and continues through the coating 1
stage. Any process which modifies the chemical content, the physical size or shape, or the 2
final finish is considered a manufacturing process. The processes include rolling, extruding, 3
machining, bending, grinding, drilling, welding, and coating. The action of applying a coating 4
to steel or iron is deemed a manufacturing process. Coating includes epoxy coating, 5
galvanizing, aluminizing, painting, and any other coating that protects or enhances the value 6
of steel or iron. Any process from the original reduction from ore to the finished product 7
constitutes a manufacturing process for iron. 8

The Washington State Department of Revenue has issued special rules on the State 4
sales tax. Sections 1-07.2(1) through 1-07.2(3) are meant to clarify those rules. The 5
Contractor should contact the Washington State Department of Revenue for answers 6
to questions in this area. The Contracting Agency will not adjust its payment if the 7
Contractor bases a bid on a misunderstood tax liability. 8
9
The Contractor shall include all Contractor-paid taxes in the unit bid prices or other 10
contract amounts. In some cases, however, state retail sales tax will not be included. 11
Section 1-07.2(2) describes this exception. 12

These goals are applicable to each nonexempt Contractor’s total on-site construction 30
workforce, regardless of whether or not part of that workforce is performing work on a 31
Federal, or federally assisted project, contract, or subcontract until further notice. 32
Compliance with these goals and timetables is enforced by the Office of Federal 33
Contract compliance Programs. 34
35
The Contractor's compliance with the Executive Order and the regulations in 41 CFR 36
Part 60-4 shall be based on its implementation of the Equal Opportunity Clause, 37
specific affirmative action obligations required by the specifications set forth in 41 CFR 38
60-4.3(a), and its efforts to meet the goals. The hours of minority and female 39
employment and training must be substantially uniform throughout the length of the 40
contract, in each construction craft and in each trade, and the Contractor shall make 41
a good faith effort to employ minorities and women evenly on each of its projects. The 42
transfer of minority or female employees or trainees from Contractor to Contractor or 43
from project to project for the sole purpose of meeting the Contractor's goal shall be a 44
violation of the contract, the Executive Order and the regulations in 41 CFR Part 60-4. 45
Compliance with the goals will be measured against the total work hours performed. 46
47
3. The Contractor shall provide written notification to the Office of Federal Contract 48
Compliance Programs (OFCCP) within 10 working days of award of any construction 49
subcontract in excess of $10,000 or more that are Federally funded, at any tier for 50

Standard Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Construction Contract 16
Specifications (Executive Order 11246) 17
1. As used in these specifications: 18
a. Covered Area means the geographical area described in the solicitation 19
from which this contract resulted; 20
b. Director means Director, Office of Federal Contract Compliance 21
Programs, United States Department of Labor, or any person to whom 22
the Director delegates authority; 23
c. Employer Identification Number means the Federal Social Security 24
number used on the Employer's Quarterly Federal Tax Return, U. S. 25
Treasury Department Form 941; 26
d. Minority includes: 27
(1) Black, a person having origins in any of the Black Racial Groups 28
of Africa. 29
(2) Hispanic, a fluent Spanish speaking, Spanish surnamed person 30
of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central American, South 31
American, or other Spanish origin. 32
(3) Asian or Pacific Islander, a person having origins in any of the 33
original peoples of the Pacific rim or the Pacific Islands, the 34
Hawaiian Islands and Samoa. 35

cultural identification through tribal affiliation or community 38
recognition. 39
2. Whenever the Contractor, or any Subcontractor at any tier, subcontracts a 40
portion of the work involving any construction trade, it shall physically include 41
in each subcontract in excess of $10,000 the provisions of these specifications 42

3. If the Contractor is participating (pursuant to 41 CFR 60-4.5) in a Hometown 1
Plan approved by the U.S. Department of Labor in the covered area either 2
individually or through an association, its affirmative action obligations on all 3
work in the Plan area (including goals and timetables) shall be in accordance 4
with that Plan for those trades which have unions participating in the Plan. 5
Contractors must be able to demonstrate their participation in and compliance 6
with the provisions of any such Hometown Plan. Each Contractor or 7
subcontractor participating in an approved Plan is individually required to 8
comply with its obligations under the EEO clause, and to make a good faith 9
effort to achieve each goal under the Plan in each trade in which it has 10
employees. The overall good faith performance by other Contractors or 11
subcontractors toward a goal in an approved Plan does not excuse any covered 12
Contractor's or subcontractor's failure to take good faith effort to achieve the 13
Plan goals and timetables. 14
4. The Contractor shall implement the specific affirmative action standards 15
provided in paragraphs 7a through 7p of this Special Provision. The goals set 16
forth in the solicitation from which this contract resulted are expressed as 17
percentages of the total hours of employment and training of minority and 18
female utilization the Contractor should reasonably be able to achieve in each 19
construction trade in which it has employees in the covered area. Covered 20
construction contractors performing construction work in geographical areas 21
where they do not have a Federal or federally assisted construction contract 22
shall apply the minority and female goals established for the geographical area 23
where the work is being performed. The Contractor is expected to make 24
substantially uniform progress in meeting its goals in each craft during the 25
period specified. 26
5. Neither the provisions of any collective bargaining agreement, nor the failure 27
by a union with whom the Contractor has a collective bargaining agreement, to 28
refer either minorities or women shall excuse the Contractor's obligations under 29
these specifications, Executive Order 11246, or the regulations promulgated 30
pursuant thereto. 31
6. In order for the nonworking training hours of apprentices and trainees to be 32
counted in meeting the goals, such apprentices and trainees must be employed 33
by the Contractor during the training period, and the Contractor must have 34
made a commitment to employ the apprentices and trainees at the completion 35
of their training, subject to the availability of employment opportunities. 36
Trainees must be trained pursuant to training programs approved by the U.S. 37
Department of Labor. 38
7. The Contractor shall take specific affirmative actions to ensure equal 39
employment opportunity. The evaluation of the Contractor's compliance with 40
these specifications shall be based upon its effort to achieve maximum results 41
from its action. The Contractor shall document these efforts fully, and shall 42
implement affirmative action steps at least as extensive as the following: 43
a. Ensure and maintain a working environment free of harassment, 44
intimidation, and coercion at all sites, and in all facilities at which the 45
Contractor's employees are assigned to work. The Contractor, where 46
possible, will assign two or more women to each construction project. 47
The Contractor shall specifically ensure that all foremen, 48
superintendents, and other on-site supervisory personnel are aware of 49

and carry out the Contractor's obligation to maintain such a working 1
environment, with specific attention to minority or female individuals 2
working at such sites or in such facilities. 3
b. Establish and maintain a current list of minority and female recruitment 4
sources, provide written notification to minority and female recruitment 5
sources and to community organizations when the Contractor or its 6
unions have employment opportunities available, and maintain a record 7
of the organizations' responses. 8
c. Maintain a current file of the names, addresses and telephone numbers 9
of each minority and female off-the-street applicant and minority or 10
female referral from a union, a recruitment source or community 11
organization and of what action was taken with respect to each such 12
individual. If such individual was sent to the union hiring hall for referral 13
and was not referred back to the Contractor by the union or, if referred, 14
not employed by the Contractor, this shall be documented in the file 15
with the reason therefor, along with whatever additional actions the 16
Contractor may have taken. 17
d. Provide immediate written notification to the Director when the union or 18
unions with which the Contractor has a collective bargaining agreement 19
has not referred to the Contractor a minority person or woman sent by 20
the Contractor, or when the Contractor has other information that the 21
union referral process has impeded the Contractor's efforts to meet its 22
obligations. 23
e. Develop on-the-job training opportunity and/or participate in training 24
programs for the area which expressly include minorities and women, 25
including upgrading programs and apprenticeship and trainee 26
programs relevant to the Contractor's employment needs, especially 27
those programs funded or approved by the U.S. Department of Labor. 28
The Contractor shall provide notice of these programs to the sources 29
compiled under 7b above. 30
f. Disseminate the Contractor's EEO policy by providing notice of the 31
policy to unions and training programs and requesting their cooperation 32
in assisting the Contractor in meeting its EEO obligations; by including 33
it in any policy manual and collective bargaining agreement; by 34
publicizing it in the company newspaper, annual report, etc.; by specific 35
review of the policy with all management personnel and with all minority 36
and female employees at least once a year; and by posting the 37
company EEO policy on bulletin boards accessible to all employees at 38
each location where construction work is performed. 39
g. Review, at least annually, the company's EEO policy and affirmative 40
action obligations under these specifications with all employees having 41
any responsibility for hiring, assignment, layoff, termination, or other 42
employment decisions including specific review of these items with on-43
site supervisory personnel such as Superintendents, General Foremen, 44
etc., prior to the initiation of construction work at any job site. A written 45
record shall be made and maintained identifying the time and place of 46
these meetings, persons attending, subject matter discussed, and 47
disposition of the subject matter. 48

h. Disseminate the Contractor's EEO policy externally by including it in 1
any advertising in the news media, specifically including minority and 2
female news media, and providing written notification to and discussing 3
the Contractor's EEO policy with other Contractors and Subcontractors 4
with whom the Contractor does or anticipates doing business. 5
i. Direct its recruitment efforts, both oral and written to minority, female, 6
and community organizations, to schools with minority and female 7
students and to minority and female recruitment and training 8
organizations serving the Contractor's recruitment area and 9
employment needs. Not later than one month prior to the date for the 10
acceptance of applications for apprenticeship or other training by any 11
recruitment source, the Contractor shall send written notification to 12
organizations such as the above, describing the openings, screening 13
procedures, and tests to be used in the selection process. 14
j. Encourage present minority and female employees to recruit other 15
minority persons and women and where reasonable, provide after 16
school, summer and vacation employment to minority and female youth 17
both on the site and in other areas of a Contractor's work force. 18
k. Validate all tests and other selection requirements where there is an 19
obligation to do so under 41 CFR Part 60-3. 20
l. Conduct, at least annually, an inventory and evaluation of all minority 21
and female personnel for promotional opportunities and encourage 22
these employees to seek or to prepare for, through appropriate training, 23
etc., such opportunities. 24
m. Ensure that seniority practices, job classifications, work assignments 25
and other personnel practices, do not have a discriminatory effect by 26
continually monitoring all personnel and employment related activities 27
to ensure that the EEO policy and the Contractor's obligations under 28
these specifications are being carried out. 29
n. Ensure that all facilities and company activities are non-segregated 30
except that separate or single-user toilet and necessary changing 31
facilities shall be provided to assure privacy between the sexes. 32
o. Document and maintain a record of all solicitations of offers for 33
subcontracts from minority and female construction contractors and 34
suppliers, including circulation of solicitations to minority and female 35
contractor associations and other business associations. 36
p. Conduct a review, at least annually, of all supervisors' adherence to and 37
performance under the Contractor's EEO policies and affirmative action 38
obligations. 39
8. Contractors are encouraged to participate in voluntary associations which 40
assist in fulfilling one or more of their affirmative action obligations (7a through 41
7p). The efforts of a contractor association, joint contractor-union, contractor-42
community, or other similar group of which the Contractor is a member and 43
participant, may be asserted as fulfilling any one or more of the obligations 44
under 7a through 7p of this Special Provision provided that the Contractor 45
actively participates in the group, makes every effort to assure that the group 46
has a positive impact on the employment of minorities and women in the 47

industry, ensure that the concrete benefits of the program are reflected in the 1
Contractor's minority and female work-force participation, makes a good faith 2
effort to meet its individual goals and timetables, and can provide access to 3
documentation which demonstrate the effectiveness of actions taken on behalf 4
of the Contractor. The obligation to comply, however, is the Contractor's and 5
failure of such a group to fulfill an obligation shall not be a defense for the 6
Contractor's noncompliance. 7
9. A single goal for minorities and a separate single goal for women have been 8
established. The Contractor, however, is required to provide equal employment 9
opportunity and to take affirmative action for all minority groups, both male and 10
female, and all women, both minority and non-minority. Consequently, the 11
Contractor may be in violation of the Executive Order if a particular group is 12
employed in substantially disparate manner (for example, even though the 13
Contractor has achieved its goals for women generally, the Contractor may be 14
in violation of the Executive Order if a specific minority group of women is 15
underutilized). 16
10. The Contractor shall not use the goals and timetables or affirmative action 17
standards to discriminate against any person because of race, color, religion, 18
sex, or national origin. 19
11. The Contractor shall not enter into any subcontract with any person or firm 20
debarred from Government contracts pursuant to Executive Order 11246. 21
12. The Contractor shall carry out such sanctions and penalties for violation of 22
these specifications and of the Equal Opportunity Clause, including 23
suspensions, terminations and cancellations of existing subcontracts as may 24
be imposed or ordered pursuant to Executive Order 11246, as amended, and 25
its implementing regulations by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance 26
Programs. Any Contractor who fails to carry out such sanctions and penalties 27
shall be in violation of these specifications and Executive Order 11246, as 28
amended. 29
13. The Contractor, in fulfilling its obligations under these specifications, shall 30
implement specific affirmative action steps, at least as extensive as those 31
standards prescribed in paragraph 7 of this Special Provision, so as to achieve 32
maximum results from its efforts to ensure equal employment opportunity. If 33
the Contractor fails to comply with the requirements of the Executive Order, the 34
implementing regulations, or these specifications, the Director shall proceed in 35
accordance with 41 CFR 60-4.8. 36
14. The Contractor shall designate a responsible official to monitor all employment 37
related activity to ensure that the company EEO policy is being carried out, to 38
submit reports relating to the provisions hereof as may be required by the 39
government and to keep records. Records shall at least include, for each 40
employee, their name, address, telephone numbers, construction trade, union 41
affiliation if any, employee identification number when assigned, social security 42
number, race, sex, status (e.g. mechanic, apprentice, trainee, helper, or 43
laborer), dates of changes in status, hours worked per week in the indicated 44
trade, rate of pay, and locations at which the work was performed. Records 45
shall be maintained in an easily understandable and retrievable form; however, 46
to the degree that existing records satisfy this requirement, the Contractors will 47
not be required to maintain separate records. 48

Commercially Useful Function (CUF) – 49 CFR 26.55(c)(1) defines 1
commercially useful function as: “A DBE performs a commercially useful function 2
when it is responsible for execution of the work of the contract and is carrying out 3
its responsibilities by actually performing, managing, and supervising the work 4
involved. To perform a commercially useful function, the DBE must also be 5
responsible, with respect to materials and supplies used on the contract, for 6
negotiating price, determining quality and quantity, ordering the material, and 7
installing (where applicable) and paying for the material itself. To determine 8
whether a DBE is performing a commercially useful function, you must evaluate 9
the amount of work subcontracted, industry practices, whether the amount the firm 10
is to be paid under the contract is commensurate with the work it is actually 11
performing and the DBE credit claimed for its performance of the work, and other 12
relevant factors.” 13

Manufacturer (DBE) – A DBE firm that operates or maintains a factory or 26
establishment that produces on the premises the materials, supplies, articles, or 27
equipment required under the Contract. A DBE Manufacturer shall produce 28
finished goods or products from raw or unfinished material or purchase and 29
substantially alters goods and materials to make them suitable for construction use 30
before reselling them. 31

Regular Dealer (DBE) – A DBE firm that owns, operates, or maintains a store, 37
warehouse, or other establishment in which the materials or supplies required for 38
the performance of a Contract are bought, kept in stock, and regularly sold to the 39
public in the usual course of business. To be a Regular Dealer, the DBE firm must 40
be an established regular business that engages in as its principal business and 41
in its own name the purchase and sale of the products in question. A Regular 42
Dealer in such items as steel, cement, gravel, stone, and petroleum products need 43
not own, operate, or maintain a place of business if it both owns and operates 44
distribution equipment for the products. Any supplementing of regular dealers’ own 45

22
DBE participation is only credited upon payment to the DBE. 23
24
The following are some definitions of what may be counted as DBE participation. 25
26
DBE Prime Contractor 27
Only take credit for that portion of the total dollar value of the Contract equal to the 28
distinct, clearly defined portion of the Work that the DBE Prime Contractor performs 29
with its own forces and is certified to perform. 30
31
DBE Subcontractor 32
Only take credit for that portion of the total dollar value of the subcontract that is 33
equal to the distinct, clearly defined portion of the Work that the DBE performs with 34
its own forces and is certified to perform. The value of work performed by the DBE 35
includes the cost of supplies and materials purchased by the DBE and equipment 36
leased by the DBE, for its work on the contract. Supplies, materials, or equipment 37
obtained by a DBE that are not utilized or incorporated in the contract work by the 38
DBE will not be eligible for DBE credit. 39
40
The supplies, materials, and equipment purchased or leased from the Contractor 41
or its affiliate, including any Contractor’s resources available to DBE 42
subcontractors at no cost, shall not be credited. 43
44
DBE credit will not be given in instances where the equipment lease includes the 45
operator. The DBE is expected to operate the equipment used in the performance 46
of its work under the contract with its own forces. Situations where equipment is 47
leased and used by the DBE, but payment is deducted from the Contractor’s 48
payment to the DBE is not allowed. 49

34
Temporary Traffic Control 35
If the DBE firm only provides “Flagging”, the DBE firm must provide a Traffic 36
Control Supervisor (TCS) and flagger, which are under the direct control of the 37
DBE. The DBE firm shall also provide all flagging equipment for its employees (e.g. 38
paddles, hard hats, and vests). 39
40
If the DBE firm provides “Traffic Control Services”, the DBE firm must provide a 41
TCS, flaggers, and traffic control items (e.g. cones, barrels, signs, etc.) and be in 42
total control of all items in implementing the traffic control for the project. 43
44
Trucking 45
DBE trucking firm participation may only be credited as DBE participation for the 46
value of the hauling services, not for the materials being hauled unless the trucking 47
firm is also certified as a supplier of those materials. In situations where the DBE’s 48
work is priced per ton, the value of the hauling service must be calculated 49
separately from the value of the materials in order to determine DBE credit for 50
hauling. 51

The DBE trucking firm must own and operate at least one licensed, insured, and 2
operational truck on the contract. The truck must be of the type that is necessary 3
to perform the hauling duties required under the contract. The DBE receives credit 4
for the value of the transportation services it provides on the Contract using trucks 5
it owns or leases, licenses, insures, and operates with drivers it employs. 6
7
The DBE may lease additional trucks from another DBE firm. The DBE who leases 8
additional trucks from another DBE firm receives credit for the value of the 9
transportation services the lessee DBE provides on the Contract. 10
11
The trucking Work subcontracted to any non-DBE trucking firm will not receive 12
credit for Work done on the project. 13
14
The DBE may lease trucks from a truck leasing company (recognized truck rental 15
center), but can only receive credit towards DBE participation if the DBE uses its 16
own employees as drivers. 17
18
DBE Manufacturer and DBE Regular Dealer 19
One hundred percent (100%) of the cost of the manufactured product obtained 20
from a DBE manufacturer may count towards the DBE COA Goal. 21
22
Sixty percent (60%) of the cost of materials or supplies purchased from a DBE 23
Regular Dealer may be credited towards the DBE Goal. If the role of the DBE 24
Regular Dealer is determined to be that of a Broker, then DBE credit shall be limited 25
to the fee or commission it receives for its services. Regular Dealer status and the 26
amount of credit is determined on a Contract-by-Contract basis. 27
28
DBE firms proposed to be used as a Regular Dealer must be approved before 29
being listed as a COA/used on a project. The WSDOT Approved Regular Dealer 30
list published on WSDOT’s Office of Equal Opportunity (OEO) web site must 31
include the specific project for which approval is being requested. For purposes of 32
the DBE COA Goal participation, the Regular Dealer must submit the Regular 33
Dealer Status Request form a minimum of five calendar days prior to bid opening. 34
35
Purchase of materials or supplies from a DBE which is neither a manufacturer nor 36
a regular dealer, (i.e. Broker) only the fees or commissions charged for assistance 37
in the procurement of the materials and supplies, or fees or transportation charges 38
for the delivery of materials or supplies required on a job site, may count towards 39
the DBE COA goal provided the fees are not excessive as compared with fees 40
customarily allowed for similar services. Documentation will be required to support 41
the fee/commission charged by the DBE. The cost of the materials and supplies 42
themselves cannot be counted toward the DBE COA Goal. 43
44
Note: Requests to be listed as a Regular Dealer will only be processed if the 45
requesting firm is a material supplier certified by the Office of Minority and 46
Women’s Business Enterprises in a NAICS code that falls within the 47

Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Utilization 1
To be eligible for award of the Contract, the Bidder shall properly complete and submit a 2
Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Utilization Certification with the Bidder’s sealed 3
Bid Proposal, as specified in Section 1-02.9 Delivery of Proposal. The Bidder’s DBE 4
Utilization Certification must clearly demonstrate how the Bidder intends to meet the DBE 5
COA Goal. A DBE Utilization Certification (WSDOT Form 272-056) is included in the 6
Proposal package for this purpose as well as instructions on how to properly fill out the 7
form. 8
9
The Bidder is advised that the items listed below when listed in the Utilization Certification 10
must have their amounts reduced to the percentages shown and those reduced amounts 11
will be the amount applied towards meeting the DBE COA Goal. 12
13
• Force account at 50% 14
• Regular dealer at 60% 15
16
In the event of arithmetic errors in completing the DBE Utilization Certification, the amount 17
listed to be applied towards the DBE COA Goal for each DBE shall govern and the DBE 18
total amount shall be adjusted accordingly. 19
20
Note: The Contracting Agency shall consider as non-responsive and shall reject any Bid 21
Proposal submitted that does not contain a DBE Utilization Certification Form that 22
accurately demonstrates how the Bidder intends to meet the DBE COA Goal. 23
24
Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Written Confirmation Document(s) 25
The Bidder shall submit an Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Written 26
Confirmation Document (completed and signed by the DBE) for each DBE firm listed in 27
the Bidder’s completed DBE Utilization Certification submitted with the Bid. Failure to do 28
so will result in the associated participation being disallowed, which may cause the Bid to 29
be determined to be nonresponsive resulting in Bid rejection. 30
31
The Confirmation Documents provide confirmation from the DBEs that they are 32
participating in the Contract as provided in the Bidder’s Commitment. The Confirmation 33
Documents must be consistent with the Utilization Certification. 34
35
A DBE Written Confirmation Document (form No. 422-031) is included in the Proposal 36
package for this purpose. 37
38
The form(s) shall be received as specified in the special provisions for Section 1-02.9 39
Delivery of Proposal. 40
41
It is prohibited for the Bidder to require a DBE to submit a Written Confirmation Document 42
with any part of the form left blank. Should the Contracting Agency determine that an 43
incomplete Written Confirmation Document was signed by a DBE, the validity of the 44
document comes into question. The associated DBE participation may not receive credit. 45
46
Selection of Successful Bidder/Good Faith Efforts (GFE) 47
The successful Bidder shall be selected on the basis of having submitted the lowest 48
responsive Bid, which demonstrates a good faith effort to achieve the DBE COA Goal. The 49

the DBEs listed on the DBE Utilization Certification. 2
3
Achieving the DBE COA Goal may be accomplished in one of two ways: 4
5
1. By meeting the DBE COA Goal 6
Submission of the DBE Utilization Certification, supporting DBE Written 7
Confirmation Document(s) showing the Bidder has obtained enough DBE 8
participation to meet or exceed the DBE COA Goal, the DBE Bid Item Breakdown 9
and the DBE Trucking Credit Form, if applicable. 10
11
2. By documentation that the Bidder made adequate GFE to meet the DBE COA Goal 12
The Bidder may demonstrate a GFE in whole or part through GFE documentation 13
ONLY IN THE EVENT a Bidder’s efforts to solicit sufficient DBE participation have 14
been unsuccessful. The Bidder must supply GFE documentation in addition to the 15
DBE Utilization Certification, supporting DBE Written Confirmation Document(s), 16
the DBE Bid Item Breakdown form and the DBE Trucking Credit Form, if 17
applicable. 18
19
Note: In the case where a Bidder is awarded the contract based on demonstrating 20
adequate GFE, the advertised DBE COA Goal will not be reduced. The Bidder 21
shall demonstrate a GFE during the life of the Contract to attain the advertised 22
DBE COA Goal. 23
24
GFE documentation, the DBE Bid Item Breakdown form, and the DBE Trucking Credit 25
Form, if applicable, shall be submitted as specified in Section 1-02.9. 26
27
The Contracting Agency will review the GFE documentation and will determine if the 28
Bidder made an adequate good faith effort. 29
30
Good Faith Effort (GFE) Documentation 31
GFE is evaluated when: 32
33
1. Determining award of a Contract that has COA goal, 34
35
2. When a COA DBE is terminated and substitution is required, and 36
37
3. Prior to Physical Completion when determining whether the Contractor has 38
satisfied its DBE commitments. 39

49 CFR Part 26, Appendix A is intended as general guidance and does not, in itself, 41

would be considered as part of the Bidder’s GFE to achieve DBE participation. It is not 43
intended to be a mandatory checklist, nor is it intended to be exclusive or exhaustive. 44
Other factors or types of efforts may be relevant in appropriate cases. 45
46
1. Soliciting through all reasonable and available means (e.g. attendance at pre-bid 47
meetings, advertising and/or written notices) the interest of all certified DBEs who 48
have the capability to perform the Work of the Contract. The Bidder must solicit 49
this interest within sufficient time to allow the DBEs to respond to the solicitation. 50

The Bidder must determine with certainty if the DBEs are interested by taking 1
appropriate steps to follow up initial solicitations. 2
3
2. Selecting portions of the Work to be performed by DBEs in order to increase the 4
likelihood that the DBE COA Goal will be achieved. This includes, where 5
appropriate, breaking out contract Work items into economically feasible units to 6
facilitate DBE participation, even when the Contractor might otherwise prefer to 7
perform these Work items with its own forces. 8
9
3. Providing interested DBEs with adequate information about the Plans, 10
Specifications, and requirements of the Contract in a timely manner to assist them 11
in responding to a solicitation. 12
13
a. Negotiating in good faith with interested DBEs. It is the Bidder’s 14
responsibility to make a portion of the Work available to DBE 15
subcontractors and suppliers and to select those portions of the Work or 16
material needs consistent with the available DBE subcontractors and 17
suppliers, so as to facilitate DBE participation. Evidence of such negotiation 18
includes the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of DBEs that were 19
considered; a description of the information provided regarding the Plans 20
and Specifications for the Work selected for subcontracting; and evidence 21
as to why additional agreements could not be reached for DBEs to perform 22
the Work. 23
24
b. A Bidder using good business judgment would consider a number of factors 25
in negotiating with subcontractors, including DBE subcontractors, and 26
would take a firm’s price and capabilities as well as the DBE COA Goal into 27
consideration. However, the fact that there may be some additional costs 28
involved in finding and using DBEs is not in itself sufficient reason for a 29
Bidder’s failure to meet the DBE COA Goal, as long as such costs are 30
reasonable. Also, the ability or desire of a Bidder to perform the Work of a 31
Contract with its own organization does not relieve the Bidder of the 32
responsibility to make Good Faith Efforts. Bidders are not, however, 33
required to accept higher quotes from DBEs if the price difference is 34
excessive or unreasonable. 35
36
4. Not rejecting DBEs as being unqualified without sound reasons based on a 37
thorough investigation of their capabilities. The Bidder’s standing within its industry, 38
membership in specific groups, organizations, or associations and political or 39
social affiliations (for example union vs. non-union employee status) are not 40
legitimate causes for the rejection or non-solicitation of bids in the Bidder’s efforts 41
to meet the DBE COA Goal. 42
43
5. Making efforts to assist interested DBEs in obtaining bonding, lines of credit, or 44
insurance as required by the recipient or Bidder. 45
46
6. Making efforts to assist interested DBEs in obtaining necessary equipment, 47
supplies, materials, or related assistance or services. 48

Administrative Reconsideration of GFE Documentation 10
A Bidder has the right to request reconsideration if the GFE documentation submitted with 11
their Bid was determined to be inadequate. 12
13
• The Bidder must request within 48 hours of notification of being nonresponsive or 14
forfeit the right to reconsideration. 15
16
• The reconsideration decision on the adequacy of the Bidder’s GFE documentation 17
shall be made by an official who did not take part in the original determination. 18
19
• Only original GFE documentation submitted as a supplement to the Bid shall be 20
considered. The Bidder shall not introduce new documentation at the 21
reconsideration hearing. 22
23
• The Bidder shall have the opportunity to meet in person with the official for the 24
purpose of setting forth the Bidder’s position as to why the GFE documentation 25
demonstrates a sufficient effort. 26
27
• The reconsideration official shall provide the Bidder with a written decision on 28
reconsideration within five working days of the hearing explaining the basis for their 29
finding. 30

DBE Bid Item Breakdown 32

DBE Trucking Credit Form 36

Note: The DBE Trucking Credit Form is only required for a DBE Firm listed on the 40
DBE Utilization Certification as a subcontractor for “Trucking” or “Hauling” 41
and are performing a part of a bid item. For example, if the item of Work is 42
Structure Excavation including Haul, and another firm is doing the 43

Procedures after Execution 10
Commercially Useful Function (CUF) 11
The Contractor may only take credit for the payments made for Work performed 12
by a DBE that is determined to be performing a CUF. Payment must be 13
commensurate with the work actually performed by the DBE. This applies to all 14
DBEs performing Work on a project, whether or not the DBEs are COA, if the 15
Contractor wants to receive credit for their participation. The Engineer will conduct 16
CUF reviews to ascertain whether DBEs are performing a CUF. A DBE performs a 17
CUF when it is carrying out its responsibilities of its contract by actually performing, 18
managing, and supervising the Work involved. The DBE must be responsible for 19
negotiating price; determining quality and quantity; ordering the material, installing 20
(where applicable); and paying for the material itself. If a DBE does not perform 21
“all” of these functions on a furnish-and-install contract, it has not performed a CUF 22
and the cost of materials cannot be counted toward DBE COA Goal. Leasing of 23
equipment from a leasing company is allowed. However, leasing/purchasing 24
equipment from the Contractor is not allowed. Lease agreements shall be provided 25
prior to the Subcontractor beginning Work. Any use of the Contractor’s equipment 26
by a DBE may not be credited as countable participation. 27
28
The DBE does not perform a CUF if its role is limited to that of an extra participant 29
in a transaction, contract, or project through which the funds are passed in order 30
to obtain the appearance of DBE participation. 31
32
In order for a DBE traffic control company to be considered to be performing a 33
CUF, the DBE must be in control of its work inclusive of supervision. The DBE 34
shall employ a Traffic Control Supervisor who is directly involved in the 35
management and supervision of the traffic control employees and services. 36
37
The following are some of the factors that the Engineer will use in determining 38
whether a DBE trucking company is performing a CUF: 39
40
• The DBE shall be responsible for the management and supervision of the 41
entire trucking operation for which it is responsible on the contract. The 42
owner demonstrates business related knowledge, shows up on site and is 43
determined to be actively running the business. 44
45
• The DBE shall own and operate at least one fully licensed, insured, and 46
operational truck used on the Contract. The drivers of the trucks owned 47
and leased by the DBE must be exclusively employed by the DBE and 48
reflected on the DBE’s payroll. 49
50

• Lease agreements for trucks shall indicate that the DBE has exclusive use 1
of and control over the truck(s). This does not preclude the leased truck 2
from working for others provided it is with the consent of the DBE and the 3
lease provides the DBE absolute priority for use of the leased truck. 4
5
• Leased trucks shall display the name and identification number of the 6
DBE. 7
8
UDBE/DBE/FSBE Truck Unit Listing Log 9
In addition to the subcontracting requirements of Section 1-08.1, each DBE 10
trucking firm shall submit supplemental information consisting of a completed 11
Primary UDBE/DBE/FSBE Truck Unit Listing Log (WSDOT Form 350-077), copy 12
of vehicle registrations, and all Rental/Lease agreements (if applicable). The 13
supplemental information shall be submitted to the Engineer prior to any trucking 14
services being performed for DBE credit. Incomplete or incorrect supplemental 15
information will be returned for correction. The corrected Primary 16
UDBE/DBE/FSBE Truck Unit Listing Log and any Updated Primary 17
UDBE/DBE/FSBE Truck Unit Listing Logs shall be submitted and accepted by the 18
Engineer no later than ten calendar days of utilizing applicable trucks. Failure to 19
submit or update the DBE Truck Unit Listing Log may result in trucks not being 20
credited as DBE participation. 21
Each DBE trucking firm shall complete a Daily UDBE/DBE/FSBE Trucking Unit 22
Listing Log for each day that the DBE performs trucking services for DBE credit. 23
The Daily UDBE/DBE/FSBE Trucking Unit Listing Log forms shall be submitted to 24
the Engineer by Friday of the week after the work was performed. 25
26
Joint Checking 27
A joint check is a check between a Subcontractor and the Contractor to the supplier 28
of materials/supplies. The check is issued by the Contractor as payer to the 29
Subcontractor and the material supplier jointly for items to be incorporated into the 30
project. The DBE must release the check to the supplier, while the Contractor acts 31
solely as the guarantor. 32
33
A joint check agreement must be approved by the Engineer and requested by the 34
DBE involved using the DBE Joint Check Request Form (form # 272-053) prior to 35
its use. The form must accompany the DBE Joint Check Agreement between the 36
parties involved, including the conditions of the arrangement and expected use of 37
the joint checks. 38
39
The approval to use joint checks and the use will be closely monitored by the 40
Engineer. To receive DBE credit for performing a CUF with respect to obtaining 41
materials and supplies, a DBE must “be responsible for negotiating price, 42
determining quality and quantity, ordering the material, installing and paying for the 43
material itself.” The Contractor shall submit DBE Joint Check Request Form to the 44
Engineer and be in receipt of written approval prior to using a joint check. 45
46
Material costs paid by the Contractor directly to the material supplier are not 47
allowed. If proper procedures are not followed or the Engineer determines that the 48
arrangement results in lack of independence for the DBE involved, no DBE credit 49
will be given for the DBE’s participation as it relates to the material cost. 50

Refer to Section 1-08.1 for additional reporting requirements associated with this 20
contract. 21
22
Changes in COA Work Committed to DBE 23
The Contractor shall utilize the COA DBEs to perform the work and supply the materials 24
for which each is committed unless prior written approval by the Engineer is received by 25
the Contractor. The Contractor shall not be entitled to any payment for work or material 26
completed by the Contractor or subcontractors that was committed to be completed by the 27
COA DBEs in the DBE Utilization Certification form. 28
29
Owner Initiated Changes 30
In instances where the Engineer makes changes that result in changes to Work 31
that was committed to a COA DBE the Contractor may be directed to substitute for 32
the Work. 33
34
Contractor Initiated Changes 35
The Contractor cannot change the scope or reduce the amount of work committed 36
to a COA DBE without good cause. Reducing DBE Commitment is viewed as 37
partial DBE termination, and therefore subject to the termination procedures below. 38
39
Original Quantity Underruns 40
In the event that Work committed to a DBE firm as part of the COA underruns the 41
original planned quantities the Contractor may be required to substitute other 42
remaining Work to another DBE. 43
44
Contractor Proposed DBE Substitutions 45
Requests to substitute a COA DBE must be for good cause (see DBE termination 46
process below), and requires prior written approval of the Engineer. After receiving 47
a termination with good cause approval, the Contractor may only replace a DBE 48
with another certified DBE. When any changes between Contract Award and 49

Execution result in a substitution of COA DBE, the substitute DBE shall be certified 1
prior to the bid opening on the Contract. 2
3
DBE Termination 4
Termination of a COA DBE (or an approved substitute DBE) is only allowed in 5
whole or in part for good cause and with prior written approval of the Engineer. If 6
the Contractor terminates a COA DBE without the prior written approval of the 7
Engineer, the Contractor shall not be entitled to payment for work or material 8
committed to, but not performed/supplied by the COA DBE. In addition, sanctions 9
may apply as described elsewhere in this specification. 10
11
Prior to requesting approval to terminate a COA DBE, the Contractor shall give 12
notice in writing to the DBE with a copy to the Engineer of its intent to request to 13
terminate DBE Work and the reasons for doing so. The DBE shall have five (5) 14
days to respond to the Contractor’s notice. The DBE’s response shall either 15
support the termination or advise the Engineer and the Contractor of the reasons 16
it objects to the termination of its subcontract. 17
18
If the request for termination is approved, the Contractor is required to substitute 19
with another DBE to perform at least the same amount of work as the DBE that 20
was terminated (or provide documentation of GFE). A plan to replace the COA DBE 21
Commitment amount shall be submitted to the Engineer within 2 days of the 22
approval of termination. The plan to replace the Commitment shall provide the 23
same detail as that required in the DBE Utilization Certification. 24
25
The Contractor must have good cause to terminate a COA DBE. 26
27
Good cause typically includes situations where the DBE Subcontractor is unable 28
or unwilling to perform the work of its subcontract. Good cause may exist if: 29
30
• The DBE fails or refuses to execute a written contract. 31
32
• The DBE fails or refuses to perform the Work of its subcontract in a way 33
consistent with normal industry standards. 34
35
• The DBE fails or refuses to meet the Contractor’s reasonable 36
nondiscriminatory bond requirements. 37
38
• The DBE becomes bankrupt, insolvent, or exhibits credit unworthiness. 39
40
• The DBE is ineligible to work on public works projects because of 41
suspension and debarment proceedings pursuant to federal law or 42
applicable State law. 43
44
• The DBE is ineligible to receive DBE credit for the type of work involved. 45
46
• The DBE voluntarily withdraws from the project, and provides written 47
notice of its withdrawal. 48
49
• The DBE’s work is deemed unsatisfactory by the Engineer and not in 50
compliance with the Contract. 51

• The DBE’s owner dies or becomes disabled with the result that the DBE is 2

Good cause does not exist if: 5

13
• The failure or refusal of the COA DBE to perform its Work on the 14
subcontract results from the bad faith or discriminatory action of the 15
Contractor (e.g. the failure of the Contractor to make timely payments or 16
the unnecessary placing of obstacles in the path of the DBE’s Work). 17

of section 1-07.18 of these Special Provisions, from insurers with a current A. M. 19
Best rating of not less than A-: VII and licensed to do business in the State of 20
Washington. The Contracting Agency reserves the right to approve or reject the 21
insurance provided, based on the insurer’s financial condition. 22
23
B. The Contractor shall keep this insurance in force without interruption from the 24
commencement of the Contractor’s Work through the term of the Contract and for 25
thirty (30) days after the Physical Completion date, unless otherwise indicated below. 26

of all subsequent renewals, shall be no later than the effective date of this Contract. 29
The policy shall state that coverage is claims made and state the retroactive date. 30
Claims-made form coverage shall be maintained by the Contractor for a minimum of 31
36 months following the Completion Date or earlier termination of this Contract, and 32
the Contractor shall annually provide the Contracting Agency with proof of renewal. 33

has been obtained and approved by the Contracting Agency 9
10
G. Failure on the part of the Contractor to maintain the insurance as required shall 11
constitute a material breach of contract, upon which the Contracting Agency may, 12
after giving five business days’ notice to the Contractor to correct the breach, 13
immediately terminate the Contract or, at its discretion, procure or renew such 14
insurance and pay any and all premiums in connection therewith, with any sums so 15
expended to be repaid to the Contracting Agency on demand, or at the sole 16
discretion of the Contracting Agency, offset against funds due the Contractor from 17
the Contracting Agency. 18

prices of the Contract and no additional payment will be made. 21
22

limits lower than those maintained by the Contractor. 45
46
For Commercial General Liability insurance coverage, the required additional insured 47

forth herein, except the Contractor shall have sole responsibility for determining the limits 4
of coverage required to be obtained by subcontractors. 5
6
The Contractor shall ensure that all subcontractors of every tier add all entities listed in 7
1-07.18(2) as additional insureds, and provide proof of such on the policies as required by 8
that section as detailed in 1-07.18(2) using an endorsement as least as broad as ISO CG 9

The Contractor shall deliver to the Contracting Agency a Certificate(s) of Insurance and 17
endorsements for each policy of insurance meeting the requirements set forth herein when 18
the Contractor delivers the signed Contract for the work. Failure of Contracting Agency to 19
demand such verification of coverage with these insurance requirements or failure of 20
Contracting Agency to identify a deficiency from the insurance documentation provided 21
shall not be construed as a waiver of Contractor’s obligation to maintain such insurance. 22
23
Verification of coverage shall include: 24
1. An ACORD certificate or a form determined by the Contracting Agency to be 25
equivalent. 26
2. Copies of all endorsements naming Contracting Agency and all other entities listed 27
in 1-07.18(2) as additional insured(s), showing the policy number. The Contractor 28

Agency a full and certified copy of the insurance policy(s). If Builders Risk insurance is 36

1-07.18(5) Coverages and Limits 40
The insurance shall provide the minimum coverages and limits set forth below. 41
Contractor’s maintenance of insurance, its scope of coverage, and limits as required 42
herein shall not be construed to limit the liability of the Contractor to the coverage provided 43
by such insurance, or otherwise limit the Contracting Agency’s recourse to any remedy 44
available at law or in equity. 45
46
All deductibles and self-insured retentions must be disclosed and are subject to approval 47
by the Contracting Agency. The cost of any claim payments falling within the deductible 48

Street Right of Way lines, limits of easements, and limits of construction permits are 8
indicated in the Plans. The Contractor’s construction activities shall be confined within 9
these limits, unless arrangements for use of private property are made. 10
11
Generally, the Contracting Agency will have obtained, prior to bid opening, all rights of 12
way and easements, both permanent and temporary, necessary for carrying out the work. 13
Exceptions to this are noted in the Bid Documents or will be brought to the Contractor’s 14
attention by a duly issued Addendum. 15
16
Whenever any of the work is accomplished on or through property other than public Right 17
of Way, the Contractor shall meet and fulfill all covenants and stipulations of any easement 18
agreement obtained by the Contracting Agency from the owner of the private property. 19
Copies of the easement agreements may be included in the Contract Provisions or made 20
available to the Contractor as soon as practical after they have been obtained by the 21
Engineer. 22
23
Whenever easements or rights of entry have not been acquired prior to advertising, these 24
areas are so noted in the Plans. The Contractor shall not proceed with any portion of the 25
work in areas where right of way, easements or rights of entry have not been acquired 26
until the Engineer certifies to the Contractor that the right of way or easement is available 27
or that the right of entry has been received. If the Contractor is delayed due to acts of 28
omission on the part of the Contracting Agency in obtaining easements, rights of entry or 29
right of way, the Contractor will be entitled to an extension of time. The Contractor agrees 30
that such delay shall not be a breach of contract. 31
32
Each property owner shall be given 48 hours notice prior to entry by the Contractor. This 33
includes entry onto easements and private property where private improvements must be 34
adjusted. 35
36
The Contractor shall be responsible for providing, without expense or liability to the 37
Contracting Agency, any additional land and access thereto that the Contractor may desire 38
for temporary construction facilities, storage of materials, or other Contractor needs. 39
However, before using any private property, whether adjoining the work or not, the 40
Contractor shall file with the Engineer a written permission of the private property owner, 41
and, upon vacating the premises, a written release from the property owner of each 42
property disturbed or otherwise interfered with by reasons of construction pursued under 43
this contract. The statement shall be signed by the private property owner, or proper 44
authority acting for the owner of the private property affected, stating that permission has 45
been granted to use the property and all necessary permits have been obtained or, in the 46
case of a release, that the restoration of the property has been satisfactorily accomplished. 47
The statement shall include the parcel number, address, and date of signature. Written 48
releases must be filed with the Engineer before the Completion Date will be established. 49

The Contracting Agency will not pay for material on hand when the invoice cost is less 14
than $2,000. As materials are used in the work, credits equaling the partial payments 15
for them will be taken on future estimates. Each month, no later than the estimate due 16
date, the Contractor shall submit a letter to the Engineer that clearly states: 1) the 17
amount originally paid on the invoice (or other record of production cost) for the items 18
on hand, 2) the dollar amount of the material incorporated into each of the various 19
work items for the month, and 3) the amount that should be retained in material on 20
hand items. If work is performed on the items and the Contractor does not submit a 21
letter, all of the previous material on hand payment will be deducted on the estimate. 22
Partial payment for materials on hand shall not constitute acceptance. Any material 23

Contract and as specified for payment. 32
33
The Contractor shall submit a breakdown of the cost of lump sum bid items at the 34
Preconstruction Conference, to enable the Project Engineer to determine the Work 35
performed on a monthly basis. A breakdown is not required for lump sum items that 36
include a basis for incremental payments as part of the respective Specification. Absent 37
a lump sum breakdown, the Project Engineer will make a determination based on 38
information available. The Project Engineer’s determination of the cost of work shall be 39
final. 40
41
Progress payments for completed work and material on hand will be based upon 42
progress estimates prepared by the Engineer. A progress estimate cutoff date will be 43
established at the preconstruction conference. 44
45
The initial progress estimate will be made not later than 30 days after the Contractor 46
commences the work, and successive progress estimates will be made every month 47

The progress estimates are subject to change at any time prior to the calculation of the 1

The value of the progress estimate will be the sum of the following: 4
1. Unit Price Items in the Bid Form — the approximate quantity of acceptable units of 5
work completed multiplied by the unit price. 6
2. Lump Sum Items in the Bid Form — based on the approved Contractor’s lump sum 7
breakdown for that item, or absent such a breakdown, based on the Engineer’s 8
determination. 9
3. Materials on Hand — 100 percent of invoiced cost of material delivered to Job site 10
or other storage area approved by the Engineer. 11
4. Change Orders — entitlement for approved extra cost or completed extra work as 12
determined by the Engineer. 13

Progress payments will be made in accordance with the progress estimate less: 15
1. Retainage per Section 1-09.9(1), on non FHWA-funded projects; 16
2. The amount of progress payments previously made; and 17
3. Funds withheld by the Contracting Agency for disbursement in accordance with the 18
Contract Documents. 19
20
Progress payments for work performed shall not be evidence of acceptable performance 21
or an admission by the Contracting Agency that any work has been satisfactorily 22
completed. The determination of payments under the contract will be final in accordance 23
with Section 1-05.1. 24
25
Failure to perform obligations under the Contract by the Contractor may be decreed by 26
the Contracting Agency to be adequate reason for withholding any payments until 27
compliance is achieved. 28
29
Upon completion of all Work and after final inspection (Section 1-05.11), the amount due 30
the Contractor under the Contract will be paid based upon the final estimate made by the 31
Engineer and presentation of a Final Contract Voucher Certification to be signed by the 32
Contractor. The Contractor's signature on such voucher shall be deemed a release of all 33
claims of the Contractor unless a Certified Claim is filed in accordance with the 34
requirements of Section 1-09.11 and is expressly excepted from the Contractor’s 35
certification on the Final Contract Voucher Certification. The date the Contracting Agency 36
signs the Final Contract Voucher Certification constitutes the final acceptance date 37

If the Contractor fails, refuses, or is unable to sign and return the Final Contract Voucher 40
Certification or any other documentation required for completion and final acceptance of 41

documents. If voluntary compliance is not achieved, formal notification of the impending 46
establishment of a Completion Date and unilateral final acceptance will be provided by 47

If sampled and tested, HMA produced under Commercial Evaluation and having all 1
constituents falling within the tolerance limits of the job mix formula shall be accepted at the 2
unit Contract price with no further evaluation. When one or more constituents fall outside the 3
commercial tolerance limits in the Job Mix Formula shown in 5-04.3(9), the lot shall be 4
evaluated in accordance with Section 1-06.2 to determine the appropriate CPF. The 5
commercial tolerance limits will be used in the calculation of the CPF and the maximum CPF 6
shall be 1.00. When less than three sublots exist, backup samples of the existing sublots or 7
samples from the street shall be tested to provide a minimum of three sets of results for 8
evaluation. 9
10
For each lot of HMA mix produced and tested under Commercial Evaluation when the 11
calculated CPF is less than 1.00, a Nonconforming Mix Factor (NCMF) will be determined. 12
The NCMF equals the algebraic difference of CPF minus 1.00 multiplied by 60 percent. The 13
Job Mix Compliance Price Adjustment will be calculated as the product of the NCMF, the 14
quantity of HMA in the lot in tons, and the unit Contract price per ton of mix. 15

21
HMA mixture accepted by nonstatistical evaluation that is used in traffic lanes, including lanes 22
for intersections, ramps, truck climbing, weaving, and speed change, and having a specified 23
compacted course thickness greater than 0.10-foot, shall be compacted to a specified level 24
of relative density. The specified level of relative density shall be a Composite Pay Factor 25
(CPF) of not less than 0.75 when evaluated in accordance with Section 1-06.2, using a LSL 26
of 92.0 (minimum of 92 percent of the maximum density). The maximum density shall be 27
determined by WSDOT FOP for AASHTO T 729. The specified level of density attained will 28
be determined by the evaluation of the density of the pavement. The density of the pavement 29
shall be determined in accordance with WSDOT FOP for WAQTC TM 8, except that gauge 30
correlation will be at the discretion of the Engineer, when using the nuclear density gauge and 31
WSDOT SOP 736 when using cores to determine density. 32
33
Tests for the determination of the pavement density will be taken in accordance with the 34
required procedures for measurement by a nuclear density gauge or roadway cores after 35
completion of the finish rolling. 36
37
If the Contracting Agency uses a nuclear density gauge to determine density the test 38
procedures FOP for WAQTC TM 8 and WSDOT SOP T 729 will be used on the day the mix 39
is placed and prior to opening to traffic. 40
41
Roadway cores for density may be obtained by either the Contracting Agency or the 42
Contractor in accordance with WSDOT SOP 734. The core diameter shall be 4-inches 43
minimum, unless otherwise approved by the Engineer. Roadway cores will be tested by the 44
Contracting Agency in accordance with WSDOT FOP for AASHTO T 166. 45

Test Results 15
For a sublot that has been tested with a nuclear density gauge that did not meet the minimum 16
of 92 percent of the reference maximum density in a compaction lot with a CPF below 1.00 17
and thus subject to a price reduction or rejection, the Contractor may request that a core be 18
used for determination of the relative density of the sublot. The relative density of the core will 19
replace the relative density determined by the nuclear density gauge for the sublot and will be 20
used for calculation of the CPF and acceptance of HMA compaction lot. 21
22
When cores are taken by the Contracting Agency at the request of the Contractor, they shall 23
be requested by noon of the next workday after the test results for the sublot have been 24
provided or made available to the Contractor. Core locations shall be outside of wheel paths 25
and as determined by the Engineer. Traffic control shall be provided by the Contractor as 26
requested by the Engineer. Failure by the Contractor to provide the requested traffic control 27
will result in forfeiture of the request for cores. When the CPF for the lot based on the results 28
of the HMA cores is less than 1.00, the cost for the coring will be deducted from any monies 29
due or that may become due the Contractor under the Contract at the rate of $200 per core 30
and the Contractor shall pay for the cost of the traffic control. 31

5-04.3(10)A HMA Compaction – General Compaction Requirements 33
34
Compaction shall take place when the mixture is in the proper condition so that no undue 35
displacement, cracking, or shoving occurs. Areas inaccessible to large compaction equipment 36
shall be compacted by other mechanical means. Any HMA that becomes loose, broken, 37
contaminated, shows an excess or deficiency of asphalt, or is in any way defective, shall be 38
removed and replaced with new hot mix that shall be immediately compacted to conform to 39
the surrounding area. 40
41
The type of rollers to be used and their relative position in the compaction sequence shall 42
generally be the Contractor’s option, provided the specified densities are attained. Unless the 43
Engineer has approved otherwise, rollers shall only be operated in the static mode when the 44
internal temperature of the mix is less than 175°F. Regardless of mix temperature, a roller 45
shall not be operated in a mode that results in checking or cracking of the mat. 46
47
On bridge decks and on roadway approaches within five feet of a bridge/back of pavement 48
seat, rollers shall not be operated in a vibratory mode, defined as a mode in which the drum 49
vibrates vertically. However, unless otherwise noted on the plans, rollers may be operated in 50

HMA compaction which is accepted by nonstatistical evaluation will be based on acceptance 19
testing performed by the Contracting Agency dividing the project into compaction lots. 20
21
A lot is represented by randomly selected samples of the same mix design that will be tested 22
for acceptance. A lot is defined as the total quantity of material or work produced for each Job 23
Mix Formula placed. Only one lot per JMF is expected. A sublot shall be equal to one day’s 24
production or 400 tons, whichever is less except that the final sublot will be a minimum of 200 25
tons and may be increased to 800 tons. Testing for compaction will be at the rate of 5 tests 26
per sublot per WSDOT T 738. 27
28
The sublot locations within each density lot will be determined by the Engineer. For a lot in 29
progress with a CPF less than 0.75, a new lot will begin at the Contractor’s request after the 30
Engineer is satisfied that material conforming to the Specifications can be produced. 31

pavement. Any rejected section of Roadway shall be removed. 36
37
No payment will be made for the rejected materials or the removal of the materials unless the 38
Contractor requests that the rejected material be tested. If the Contractor elects to have the 39
rejected material tested, a minimum of three representative samples will be obtained and 40
tested. Acceptance of rejected material will be based on conformance with the nonstatistical 41
acceptance Specification. If the CPF for the rejected material is less than 0.75, no payment 42
will be made for the rejected material; in addition, the cost of sampling and testing shall be 43
borne by the Contractor. If the CPF is greater than or equal to 0.75, the cost of sampling and 44
testing will be borne by the Contracting Agency. If the material is rejected before placement 45
and the CPF is greater than or equal to 0.75, compensation for the rejected material will be at 46
a CPF of 0.75. If rejection occurs after placement and the CPF is greater than or equal to 47
0.75, compensation for the rejected material will be at the calculated CPF with an addition of 48
25 percent of the unit Contract price added for the cost of removal and disposal. 49

1. The reinforcing steel cage consisting of longitudinal bars, ties, cage stiffener bars, 2
spacers, centralizers, and other necessary appurtenances shall be completely 3
assembled and placed as a unit immediately after the shaft excavation is inspected 4
and accepted prior to concrete placement. The reinforcing cage shall be rigidly 5
braced to retain its configuration during handling and when lowered into the shaft, 6
during placement of concrete and extraction of the casing from the shaft. No loose 7
bars will be permitted. The reinforcing steel fabricator shall include bracing and any 8
extra reinforcing steel required to fabricate the cage in the shop drawings. 9
2. If the bottom of the constructed shaft elevation is lower than the bottom of the shaft 10
elevation in the Plans, a minimum of one half of the longitudinal bars required in the 11
upper portion of the shaft shall be extended the additional length. Tie bars shall be 12
continued for the extra depth, spaced on 1 feet centers, and the stiffener bars shall 13
be extended to the final depth. These bars may be lap spliced, or un-spliced bars 14
of the proper length may be used. Welding to the planned reinforcing steel will not 15
be permitted unless specifically shown in either the Plans or Special Provisions. 16
3. The reinforcing steel in the shaft shall be tied and supported so that the reinforcing 17
steel will remain within allowable tolerances given in this specification. Concrete 18
spacers or other approved non-corrosive spacing devices shall be used at sufficient 19
intervals (near the bottom and at intervals not exceeding 5 feet up the shaft) to 20
insure concentric spacing for the entire cage length. Spacers shall be constructed 21
of approved material equal in quality and durability to the concrete specified for the 22
shaft. 23
4. The elevation of the top of the steel cage shall be checked before and after the 24
concrete is placed. If the rebar cage is not maintained within the specified 25
tolerances, corrections shall be made by the Contractor as required by the 26
Engineer. No additional shafts shall be constructed until the Contractor has 27
modified his rebar cage support in a manner satisfactory to the Engineer. 28
29
Concrete Placement 30
Concrete placement shall commence within two (2) hours after completion of the 31
excavation and shall be placed in one continuous operation to the top of the shaft. 32
Concrete shall be placed through a tremie. The tremie used shall consist of a tube of 33
one-piece construction. Concrete shall be placed through a hopper at the top of the 34
tube so that the concrete is deposited through the center of the reinforcing steel to 35
prevent segregation of the aggregates and splashing of concrete on the reinforcement 36
cage. The Contractor’s proposed method for depositing concrete shall have approval 37
of the Engineer prior to concrete placement. The concrete on the top 5 feet of the 38
shaft shall be vibrated. 39
40
Casing and Forming Removal 41
During casing removal, a minimum 5 foot head of concrete must be maintained to 42
balance the soil and water pressure at the bottom of the casing. This casing shall be 43
well coated with form oil prior to concrete placement. 44
All other forming materials shall be removed and adjacent area restored 45

13
Drilled shaft excavations constructed in such a manner that the concrete shaft cannot be 14
completed within the required tolerances are unacceptable. When approved, corrections 15
may be made to an unacceptable drilled shaft excavation by any approved combination 16
of the following methods: 17
18
1. Overdrill the shaft excavation to a larger diameter to permit accurate placement of 19
the reinforcing steel cage with the required minimum concrete cover. 20
2. Increase the number and/or size of the steel reinforcement bars. 21
22
The approval of the correction procedures is dependent on analysis of the effect of the 23
degree of misalignment and improper positioning. Correction methods may be approved 24
as design analysis indicate. Redesign drawings and computations prepared by the 25
Contractor's Engineer shall be signed by a Professional Engineer licensed in the State of 26
Washington. Materials and work necessary, including Engineering analysis and redesign, 27

Part 3 - Execution 2

9-38.3(1) Installation 4
5
A. During Cast In Place Detectable Guidance Tile installation procedures ensure 6
adequate safety guidelines are in place and that they are in accordance with the 7
applicable industry and government standards. 8
9
B. The specifications of the structural embedment flange anchoring system and 10
related materials shall be in strict accordance with the contract documents and the 11
guidelines set by their respective manufacturers. Not recommended for asphalt 12
applications. 13
14
C. The physical characteristics of the concrete shall be consistent with the contract 15
specifications while maintaining a slump range of 4 - 7 to permit solid placement 16
of the Cast In Place Detectable Guidance Tile system. An overly wet mix will cause 17
the tile to float. Under these conditions, suitable weights shall be placed on each 18
tile. 19
20
D. Prior to placement of the Cast In Place Tactile Tile system, the contract drawings 21
shall be reviewed. 22
23
E. The concrete pouring and finishing operations require typical mason’s tools, 24
however a large non-marring rubber mallet are specific to the installation of the 25
Cast In Place Detectable Guidance Tile system. A vibrating mechanism such as 26
that manufactured by Vibco can be employed, if desired. 27
28
F. When preparing to set the tile, it is important that no concrete be removed in the 29
area to accept the tile. It is imperative that the installation technique eliminates any 30
air voids under the tile. Holes in the tile perimeter allow air to escape during the 31
installation process. Concrete will flow through the large holes in each embedment 32
flange on the underside of the tile. This will lock the tile solidly into the cured 33
concrete. 34
35
G. The concrete shall be poured and finished true and smooth to the required 36
dimensions and slope prior to the tile placement. Immediately after finishing 37
concrete, the electronic level should be used to check that the required slope is 38
achieved. The Cast In Place Detectable Guidance Tiles shall be tamped (or 39
vibrated) into the fresh concrete to ensure that the bottom surface of the tile’s top 40
plate rests on the concrete, and the top surface of the tile is just less than ¼" above 41
the level of the concrete to meet ADA requirements. The embedment process 42
should not be accomplished by stepping on the tile as this may cause uneven 43
setting which can result in air voids under the tile surface. The contract drawings 44
indicate that the tile is just less than ¼” above the adjacent surfaces which meets 45
ADA requirements for trip hazards 46
47
H. Immediately after placement, the tile elevation is to be checked to adjacent 48
concrete. 49

I. While concrete is workable, a 3/8" radius edging tool shall be used to create a 1
finished edge of concrete, then a steel trowel shall be used to finish the concrete 2
around the tile’s perimeter. 3
4
J. During and after the tile installation and the concrete curing stage, it is imperative 5
that there is no walking, leaning or external forces placed on the tile that may rock 6
the tile causing a void between the underside of tile and concrete. 7
8
K. Following tile placement, review installation tolerances to contract drawings and 9
adjust tile before the concrete sets. 10
11
M. Following the concrete curing stage, if concrete splashed onto the surface of 12
the tile, a soft brass wire brush will clean the residue without damage to the tile 13
surface. 14
15
9-38.3(2) Cleaning, Protecting and Maintenance 16
17
A. Protect tiles against damage during construction period to comply with Tactile 18
Tile manufacturer’s specification. 19
20
B. Protect tiles against damage from rolling loads following installation by covering 21
with plywood or hardwood. 22
23
C. Clean Tactile Tiles not more than four days prior to date scheduled for inspection 24
intended to establish date of substantial completion in each area of project. Clean 25
Tactile Tile by method specified by Tactile Tile manufacturer. 26
27
D. Comply with manufacturers maintenance manual for cleaning and maintaining 28
tile surface and it is recommended to perform annual inspections for safety and tile 29
integrity. 30
