Local Agency Subcontractor List
Prepared in compliance with RCW 39.30.060 as amended
Failure to list subcontractors with whom the bidder, if awarded the contract, will directly subcontract for
performance of the work of 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 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 listed below to perform such work, the bidder certifies that the work will either (i) be
performed by the bidder itself, or (ii) be performed by a lower tier subcontractor who will not contract directly
with the bidder.

Proposal for Incorporating Recycled Materials into the Project
In compliance with a new law that went into effect January 1, 2016 (SHB1695), 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.

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

– First Tier Participants:
a. The prospective first tier participant certifies to the best of its knowledge and belief, that it
and its principals:
(1) Are not presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, declared ineligible, or
voluntarily excluded from participating in covered transactions by any Federal department or
agency;
19
(2) Have not within a three-year period preceding this proposal been convicted of or had a
civil judgment rendered against them for commission of fraud or a criminal offense in connection
with obtaining, attempting to obtain, or performing a public (Federal, State or local) transaction
or contract under a public transaction; violation of Federal or State antitrust statutes or
commission of embezzlement, theft, forgery, bribery, falsification or destruction of records,
making false statements, or receiving stolen property;
(3) Are not presently indicted for or otherwise criminally or civilly charged by a governmental
entity (Federal, State or local) with commission of any of the offenses enumerated in paragraph
(a)(2) of this certification; and
(4) Have not within a three-year period preceding this application/proposal had one or more
public transactions (Federal, State or local) terminated for cause or default.
b. Where the prospective participant is unable to certify to any of the statements in this
certification, such prospective participant shall attach an explanation to this proposal.
2. Instructions for Certification - Lower Tier Participants:
(Applicable to all subcontracts, purchase orders and other lower tier transactions requiring prior
FHWA approval or estimated to cost $25,000 or more - 2 CFR Parts 180 and 1200)
a. By signing and submitting this proposal, the prospective lower tier is providing the
certification set out below.
b. The certification in this clause is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was
placed when this transaction was entered into. If it is later determined that the prospective lower
tier participant knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies
available to the Federal Government, the department, or agency with which this transaction
originated may pursue available remedies, including suspension and/or debarment.
c. The prospective lower tier participant shall provide immediate written notice to the person
to which this proposal is submitted if at any time the prospective lower tier participant learns that
its certification was erroneous by reason of changed circumstances.
d. The terms "covered transaction," "debarred," "suspended," "ineligible," "participant,"
"person," "principal," and "voluntarily excluded," as used in this clause, are defined in 2 CFR
Parts 180 and 1200. You may contact the person to which this proposal is submitted for
assistance in obtaining a copy of those regulations. “First Tier Covered Transactions” refers to
any covered transaction between a grantee or subgrantee of Federal funds and a participant
(such as the prime or general contract). “Lower Tier Covered Transactions” refers to any
covered transaction under a First Tier Covered Transaction (such as subcontracts). “First Tier
Participant” refers to the participant who has entered into a covered transaction with a grantee
or subgrantee of Federal funds (such as the prime or general contractor). “Lower Tier
Participant” refers any participant who has entered into a covered transaction with a First Tier
Participant or other Lower Tier Participants (such as subcontractors and suppliers).
e. The prospective lower tier participant agrees by submitting this proposal that, should the
proposed covered transaction be entered into, it shall not knowingly enter into any lower tier
covered transaction with a person who is debarred, suspended, declared ineligible, or
20
voluntarily excluded from participation in this covered transaction, unless authorized by the
department or agency with which this transaction originated.
f. The prospective lower tier participant further agrees by submitting this proposal that it will
include this clause titled "Certification Regarding Debarment, Suspension, Ineligibility and
Voluntary Exclusion-Lower Tier Covered Transaction," without modification, in all lower tier
covered transactions and in all solicitations for lower tier covered transactions exceeding the
$25,000 threshold.
g. A participant in a covered transaction may rely upon a certification of a prospective
participant in a lower tier covered transaction that is not debarred, suspended, ineligible, or
voluntarily excluded from the covered transaction, unless it knows that the certification is
erroneous. A participant is responsible for ensuring that its principals are not suspended,
debarred, or otherwise ineligible to participate in covered transactions. To verify the eligibility of
its principals, as well as the eligibility of any lower tier prospective participants, each participant
may, but is not required to, check the Excluded Parties List System website
(https://www.epls.gov/), which is compiled by the General Services Administration.
h. Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system
of records in order to render in good faith the certification required by this clause. The
knowledge and information of participant is not required to exceed that which is normally
possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings.
i. Except for transactions authorized under paragraph e 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
with which this transaction originated may pursue available remedies, including suspension
and/or debarment.

This provision is applicable to all Federal-aid projects funded under the Appalachian Regional
Development Act of 1965.
1. During the performance of this contract, the contractor undertaking to do work which is, or
reasonably may be, done as on-site work, shall give preference to qualified persons who
regularly reside in the labor area as designated by the DOL wherein the contract work is
situated, or the subregion, or the Appalachian counties of the State wherein the contract work is
situated, except:
a. To the extent that qualified persons regularly residing in the area are not available.
b. For the reasonable needs of the contractor to employ supervisory or specially experienced
personnel necessary to assure an efficient execution of the contract work.
c. For the obligation of the contractor to offer employment to present or former employees as
the result of a lawful collective bargaining contract, provided that the number of nonresident
persons employed under this subparagraph (1c) shall not exceed 20 percent of the total number
of employees employed by the contractor on the contract work, except as provided in
subparagraph (4) below.
2. The contractor shall place a job order with the State Employment Service indicating (a) the
classifications of the laborers, mechanics and other employees required to perform the contract
work, (b) the number of employees required in each classification, (c) the date on which the
participant estimates such employees will be required, and (d) any other pertinent information
required by the State Employment Service to complete the job order form. The job order may
be placed with the State Employment Service in writing or by telephone. If during the course of
the contract work, the information submitted by the contractor in the original job order is
substantially modified, the participant shall promptly notify the State Employment Service.

corresponds to a given QL) from Table 1. For negative values of QL, PL is equal 12
to 100 minus the table PL. If the value of QL does not correspond exactly to a 13
figure in the table, use the next higher value. 14
15
5. Determine the quality level (the total percent within Specification limits): 16
17
Quality Level = PL 18
19
6. Using the quality level from step 5, determine the composite pay factor (CPF) 20
from Table 2. 21

21
The repair procedure is as follows: 22
23
1. Remove all loose and unsound concrete. Impact breakers shall not 24
exceed 15 pounds in weight when removing concrete adjacent to 25
reinforcement or other embedments and shall not exceed 30 pounds 26
in weight otherwise. Operate impact breakers at angles less than 45 27
degrees as measured from the surface of the concrete to the tool and 28
moving away from the edge of the defective Work. Concrete shall be 29
completely removed from exposed surfaces of existing steel 30
reinforcing bars. If half or more of the circumference of any steel 31
reinforcing bar is exposed, if the reinforcing bar is loose or if the bond 32
to existing concrete is poor then concrete shall be removed at least ¾ 33
inch behind the reinforcing bar. Do not damage any existing 34
reinforcement. Stop work and allow the Engineer to inspect the repair 35
area after removing all loose and unsound concrete. Submit a 36
modified repair procedure when required by the Engineer. 37
38
2. Square the edges of the repair area by cutting an edge perpendicular 39
to the concrete surface around the repair area. The geometry of the 40
repair perimeter shall minimize the edge length and shall be 41
rectangular with perpendicular edges, avoiding reentrant corners. The 42
depth of the cut shall be a minimum of ¾ inch, but shall be reduced if 43
necessary to avoid damaging any reinforcement. For repairs on 44
vertical surfaces, the top edge shall slope up toward the front at a 1-45
vertical-to-3-horizontal slope. 46
47
3. Remove concrete within the repair area to a depth at least matching 48
the cut depth at the edges. Large variations in the depth of removal 49
within short distances shall be avoided. Roughen the concrete 50
surface. The concrete surface should be roughened to at least 51
Concrete Surface Profile (CSP) 5 in accordance with ICRI Guideline 52
AMENDMENTS TO THE 2018 STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS BOOK
Revised: 6/3/19
No. 310.2R, unless a different CSP is recommended by the patching 1
material manufacturer. 2
3
4. Inspect the concrete repair surface for delaminations, debonding, 4
microcracking and voids using hammer tapping or a chain drag. 5
Remove any additional loose or unsound concrete in accordance with 6
steps 1 through 3. 7
8
5. Select a patching material in accordance with Section 9-20.2 that is 9
appropriate for the repair location and thickness. The concrete 10
patching material shall be pumpable or self-consolidating as required 11
for the type of placement that suits the repair. The patching material 12
shall have a minimum compressive strength at least equal to the 13
specified compressive strength of the concrete. 14
15
6. Prepare the concrete surface and reinforcing steel in accordance with 16
the patching material manufacturer’s recommendations. At a 17
minimum, clean the concrete surfaces (including perimeter edges) 18
and reinforcing steel using oil-free abrasive blasting or high-pressure 19
(minimum 5,000 psi) water blasting. All dirt, dust, loose particles, rust, 20
laitance, oil, film, microcracked/bruised concrete or foreign material of 21
any sort shall be removed. Damage to the epoxy coating on steel 22
reinforcing bars shall be repaired in accordance with Section 6-23
02.3(24)H. 24
25
7. Construct forms if necessary, such as for patching vertical or 26
overhead surfaces or where patching extends to the edge or corner 27
of a placement. 28
29
8. When recommended by the patching material manufacturer, saturate 30
the concrete in the repair area and remove any free water at the 31
concrete surface to obtain a saturated surface dry (SSD) substrate. 32
When recommended by the patching material manufacturer, apply a 33
primer, scrub coat or bonding agent to the existing surfaces. Epoxy 34
bonding agents, if used, shall be Type II or Type V in accordance with 35
Section 9-26.1. 36
37
9. Place and consolidate the patching material in accordance with the 38
manufacturer’s recommendations. Work the material firmly into all 39
surfaces of the repair area with sufficient pressure to achieve proper 40
bond to the concrete. 41
42
10. The patching material shall be textured, cured and finished in 43
accordance with the patching material manufacturer’s 44
recommendations and/or the requirements for the repaired 45
component. Protect the newly placed patch from vibration in 46
accordance with Section 6-02.3(6)D. 47
48
11. When the completed repair does not match the existing concrete 49
color and will be visible to the public, a sand and cement mixture that 50
is color matched to the existing concrete shall be rubbed, brushed, or 51
applied to the surface of the patching material and the concrete. 52

the marking unseen. The slips will be placed inside a box. One authorized representative of
each Bidder shall draw a slip from the box. Bidders shall draw in alphabetic order by the
name of the firm as registered with the Washington State Department of Licensing. The slips
shall be unfolded and the firm with the slip marked “Winner” will be determined to be the
successful Bidder and eligible for Award of the Contract. Only those Bidders who submitted

materials percentage that is exactly equal to the highest proposed recycled materials

the Contractor’s failure to perform the work as required.
1-05.11 Final Inspection
Delete this section and replace it with the following:
1-05.11 Final Inspections and Operational Testing
(October 1, 2005 APWA GSP)
1-05.11(1) Substantial Completion Date
When the Contractor considers the work to be substantially complete, the Contractor shall so
notify the Engineer and request the Engineer establish the Substantial Completion Date. The
Contractor’s request shall list the specific items of work that remain to be completed in order
to reach physical completion. The Engineer will schedule an inspection of the work with the
Contractor to determine the status of completion. The Engineer may also establish the
Substantial Completion Date unilaterally.
If after this inspection, the Engineer concurs with the Contractor that the work is substantially
complete and ready for its intended use, the Engineer, by written notice to the Contractor, will
set the Substantial Completion Date. If after this inspection the Engineer does not consider
the work substantially complete and ready for its intended use, the Engineer will, by written
notice, so notify the Contractor giving the reasons therefor.
Upon receipt of written notice concurring in or denying substantial completion, whichever is
applicable, the Contractor shall pursue vigorously, diligently and without unauthorized
interruption, the work necessary to reach Substantial and Physical Completion. The
Contractor shall provide the Engineer with a revised schedule indicating when the Contractor
expects to reach substantial and physical completion of the work.
The above process shall be repeated until the Engineer establishes the Substantial
Completion Date and the Contractor considers the work physically complete and ready for
final inspection.
1-05.11(2) Final Inspection and Physical Completion Date
When the Contractor considers the work physically complete and ready for final inspection,
the Contractor by written notice, shall request the Engineer to schedule a final inspection.
The Engineer will set a date for final inspection. The Engineer and the Contractor will then
make a final inspection and the Engineer will notify the Contractor in writing of all particulars
in which the final inspection reveals the work incomplete or unacceptable. The Contractor
shall immediately take such corrective measures as are necessary to remedy the listed
deficiencies. Corrective work shall be pursued vigorously, diligently, and without interruption
Special Provisions SP-23

until physical completion of the listed deficiencies. This process will continue until the
Engineer is satisfied the listed deficiencies have been corrected.
If action to correct the listed deficiencies is not initiated within 7 days after receipt of the
written notice listing the deficiencies, the Engineer may, upon written notice to the
Contractor, take whatever steps are necessary to correct those deficiencies pursuant to
Section 1-05.7.
The Contractor will not be allowed an extension of contract time because of a delay in the
performance of the work attributable to the exercise of the Engineer’s right hereunder.
Upon correction of all deficiencies, the Engineer will notify the Contractor and the Contracting
Agency in writing of the date upon which the work was considered physically complete. That
date shall constitute the Physical Completion Date of the contract, but shall not imply
acceptance of the work or that all the obligations of the Contractor under the contract have
been fulfilled.
1-05.11(3) Operational Testing
It is the intent of the Contracting Agency to have at the Physical Completion Date a
complete and operable system. Therefore when the work involves the installation of
machinery or other mechanical equipment; street lighting, electrical distribution or signal
systems; irrigation systems; buildings; or other similar work it may be desirable for the
Engineer to have the Contractor operate and test the work for a period of time after final
inspection but prior to the physical completion date. Whenever items of work are listed in the
Contract Provisions for operational testing they shall be fully tested under operating
conditions for the time period specified to ensure their acceptability prior to the Physical
Completion Date. During and following the test period, the Contractor shall correct any items
of workmanship, materials, or equipment which prove faulty, or that are not in first class
operating condition. Equipment, electrical controls, meters, or other devices and equipment
to be tested during this period shall be tested under the observation of the Engineer, so that
the Engineer may determine their suitability for the purpose for which they were installed.
The Physical Completion Date cannot be established until testing and corrections have been
completed to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
The costs for power, gas, labor, material, supplies, and everything else needed to
successfully complete operational testing, shall be included in the unit contract prices
related to the system being tested, unless specifically set forth otherwise in the proposal.

1-06 CONTROL OF MATERIAL
Section 1-06 is supplemented with the following:
Buy America
(August 6, 2012 WSDOT GSP)
In accordance with Buy America requirements contained in 23 CFR 635.410, the major
quantities of steel and iron construction material that is permanently incorporated into the
project shall consist of American-made materials only. Buy America does not apply to
Special Provisions SP-27
Williams Ave S & Wells Ave S Conversion Project December 2019
temporary steel items, e.g., temporary sheet piling, temporary bridges, steel scaffolding
and falsework.
Minor amounts of foreign steel and iron may be utilized in this project provided the cost of
the foreign material used does not exceed one-tenth of one percent of the total contract
cost or $2,500.00, whichever is greater.
American-made material is defined as material having all manufacturing processes
occurring domestically. To further define the coverage, a domestic product is a
manufactured steel material that was produced in one of the 50 States, the District of
Columbia, Puerto Rico, or in the territories and possessions of the United States.
If domestically produced steel billets or iron ingots are exported outside of the area of
coverage, as defined above, for any manufacturing process then the resulting product
does not conform to the Buy America requirements. Additionally, products manufactured
domestically from foreign source steel billets or iron ingots do not conform to the Buy
America requirements because the initial melting and mixing of alloys to create the
material occurred in a foreign country.
Manufacturing begins with the initial melting and mixing, and continues through the coating
stage. Any process which modifies the chemical content, the physical size or shape, or
the final finish is considered a manufacturing process. The processes include rolling,
extruding, machining, bending, grinding, drilling, welding, and coating. The action of
applying a coating to steel or iron is deemed a manufacturing process. Coating includes
epoxy coating, galvanizing, aluminizing, painting, and any other coating that protects or
enhances the value of steel or iron. Any process from the original reduction from ore to
the finished product constitutes a manufacturing process for iron.
Due to a nationwide waiver, Buy America does not apply to raw materials (iron ore and
alloys), scrap (recycled steel or iron), and pig iron or processed, pelletized, and reduced
iron ore.
The following are considered to be steel manufacturing processes:
1. Production of steel by any of the following processes:
a. Open hearth furnace.
b. Basic oxygen.
c. Electric furnace.
d. Direct reduction.
2. Rolling, heat treating, and any other similar processing.
3. Fabrication of the products.
a. Spinning wire into cable or strand.
b. Corrugating and rolling into culverts.
c. Shop fabrication.
Special Provisions SP-28
Williams Ave S & Wells Ave S Conversion Project December 2019
A certification of materials origin will be required for any items comprised of, or containing,
steel or iron construction materials prior to such items being incorporated into the
permanent work. The certification shall be on DOT Form 350-109EF provided by the
Engineer, or such other form the Contractor chooses, provided it contains the same
information as DOT Form 350-109EF.
1-06.1 Approval of Materials Prior to Use

Section 1-06.1 is supplemented with the following:
For each proposed material that is required to be submitted for approval using either the
QPL or RAM process the Contractor will be allowed to submit for approval two material
sources or manufacturers per material type at no cost. Additional material sources or
manufacturers may be submitted for approval and will be processed at a cost of $125.00
per material source or manufacturer submitted by QPL submittal and $400.00 per material
submitted by RAM. All costs for processing additional material sources or manufacturers
will be deducted from monies due or that may come due to the Contractor. Subject to a
request by the Contractor and a determination by the Engineer the costs for processing
may be waived.

(January 9, 2019 WSDOT GSP)
The Federal wage rates incorporated in this contract have been established by the
Secretary of Labor under United States Department of Labor General Decision No.
WA190001.
The State rates incorporated in this contract are applicable to all construction activities
associated with this contract.
(April 2, 2007 WSDOT GSP)
Application of Wage Rates for the Occupation of Landscape Construction
State prevailing wage rates for public works contracts are included in this contract and
show a separate listing for the occupation:
Landscape Construction, which includes several different occupation descriptions
such as: Irrigation and Landscape Plumbers, Irrigation and Landscape Power
Equipment Operators, and Landscaping or Planting Laborers.
In addition, federal wage rates that are included in this contract may also include
occupation descriptions in Federal Occupational groups for work also specifically
identified with landscaping such as:
Laborers with the occupation description, Landscaping or Planting, or
Power Equipment Operators with the occupation description, Mulch Seeding
Operator.
If Federal wage rates include one or more rates specified as applicable to landscaping
work, then Federal wage rates for all occupation descriptions, specific or general, must
be considered and compared with corresponding State wage rates. The higher wage
rate, either State or Federal, becomes the minimum wage rate for the work performed
in that occupation.
Contractors are responsible for determining the appropriate crafts necessary to perform
the contract work. If a classification considered necessary for performance of the work
is missing from the Federal Wage Determination applicable to the contract, the
Contractor shall initiate a request for approval of a proposed wage and benefit rate. The
Contractor shall prepare and submit Standard Form 1444, Request for Authorization of
Additional Classification and Wage Rate available at
http://www.wdol.gov/docs/sf1444.pdf, and submit the completed form to the Engineer’s
office. The presence of a classification wage on the Washington State Prevailing Wage
Rates For Public Works Contracts does not exempt the use of form 1444 for the purpose
of determining a federal classification wage rate.

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

4. As used in this Notice, and in the contract resulting from this solicitation, the Covered
Area is as designated herein.
Standard Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Construction Contract Specifications
(Executive Order 11246)
1. As used in these specifications:
a. Covered Area means the geographical area described in the solicitation from
which this contract resulted;
b. Director means Director, Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs,
United States Department of Labor, or any person to whom the Director
delegates authority;
c. Employer Identification Number means the Federal Social Security number
used on the Employer's Quarterly Federal Tax Return, U. S. Treasury
Department Form 941;
d. Minority includes:
(1) Black, a person having origins in any of the Black Racial Groups of
Africa.
(2) Hispanic, a fluent Spanish speaking, Spanish surnamed person of
Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central American, South American,
or other Spanish origin.
(3) Asian or Pacific Islander, a person having origins in any of the original
peoples of the Pacific rim or the Pacific Islands, the Hawaiian Islands
and Samoa.
(4) American Indian or Alaskan Native, a person having origins in any of
the original peoples of North America, and who maintain cultural

2. Whenever the Contractor, or any Subcontractor at any tier, subcontracts a portion of the
work involving any construction trade, it shall physically include in each subcontract in
excess of $10,000 the provisions of these specifications and the Notice which contains
the applicable goals for minority and female participation and which is set forth in the
solicitations from which this contract resulted.
3. If the Contractor is participating (pursuant to 41 CFR 60-4.5) in a Hometown Plan
approved by the U.S. Department of Labor in the covered area either individually or
through an association, its affirmative action obligations on all work in the Plan area
(including goals and timetables) shall be in accordance with that Plan for those trades
which have unions participating in the Plan. Contractors must be able to demonstrate
their participation in and compliance with the provisions of any such Hometown Plan.
Special Provisions SP-36
Williams Ave S & Wells Ave S Conversion Project December 2019
Each Contractor or Subcontractor participating in an approved Plan is individually
required to comply with its obligations under the EEO clause, and to make a good faith
effort to achieve each goal under the Plan in each trade in which it has employees. The
overall good faith performance by other Contractors or Subcontractors toward a goal in
an approved Plan does not excuse any covered Contractor's or Subcontractor's failure
to take good faith effort to achieve the Plan goals and timetables.
4. The Contractor shall implement the specific affirmative action standards provided in
paragraphs 7a through 7p of this Special Provision. The goals set forth in the solicitation
from which this contract resulted are expressed as percentages of the total hours of
employment and training of minority and female utilization the Contractor should
reasonably be able to achieve in each construction trade in which it has employees in
the covered area. Covered construction contractors performing construction work in
geographical areas where they do not have a Federal or federally assisted construction
contract shall apply the minority and female goals established for the geographical area
where the work is being performed. The Contractor is expected to make substantially
uniform progress in meeting its goals in each craft during the period specified.
5. Neither the provisions of any collective bargaining agreement, nor the failure by a union
with whom the Contractor has a collective bargaining agreement, to refer either
minorities or women shall excuse the Contractor's obligations under these
specifications, Executive Order 11246, or the regulations promulgated pursuant thereto.
6. In order for the nonworking training hours of apprentices and trainees to be counted in
meeting the goals, such apprentices and trainees must be employed by the Contractor
during the training period, and the Contractor must have made a commitment to employ
the apprentices and trainees at the completion of their training, subject to the availability
of employment opportunities. Trainees must be trained pursuant to training programs
approved by the U.S. Department of Labor.
7. The Contractor shall take specific affirmative actions to ensure equal employment
opportunity. The evaluation of the Contractor's compliance with these specifications
shall be based upon its effort to achieve maximum results from its action. The Contractor
shall document these efforts fully, and shall implement affirmative action steps at least
as extensive as the following:
a. Ensure and maintain a working environment free of harassment, intimidation,
and coercion at all sites, and in all facilities at which the Contractor's employees
are assigned to work. The Contractor, where possible, will assign two or more
women to each construction project. The Contractor shall specifically ensure
that all foremen, superintendents, and other on-site supervisory personnel are
aware of and carry out the Contractor's obligation to maintain such a working
environment, with specific attention to minority or female individuals working at
such sites or in such facilities.
b. Establish and maintain a current list of minority and female recruitment
sources, provide written notification to minority and female recruitment sources
and to community organizations when the Contractor or its unions have
employment opportunities available, and maintain a record of the
organizations' responses.
Special Provisions SP-37
Williams Ave S & Wells Ave S Conversion Project December 2019
c. Maintain a current file of the names, addresses and telephone numbers of each
minority and female off-the-street applicant and minority or female referral from
a union, a recruitment source or community organization and of what action
was taken with respect to each such individual. If such individual was sent to
the union hiring hall for referral and was not referred back to the Contractor by
the union or, if referred, not employed by the Contractor, this shall be
documented in the file with the reason therefor, along with whatever additional
actions the Contractor may have taken.
d. Provide immediate written notification to the Director when the union or unions
with which the Contractor has a collective bargaining agreement has not
referred to the Contractor a minority person or woman sent by the Contractor,
or when the Contractor has other information that the union referral process
has impeded the Contractor's efforts to meet its obligations.
e. Develop on-the-job training opportunity and/or participate in training programs
for the area which expressly include minorities and women, including
upgrading programs and apprenticeship and trainee programs relevant to the
Contractor's employment needs, especially those programs funded or
approved by the U.S. Department of Labor. The Contractor shall provide notice
of these programs to the sources compiled under 7b above.
f. Disseminate the Contractor's EEO policy by providing notice of the policy to
unions and training programs and requesting their cooperation in assisting the
Contractor in meeting its EEO obligations; by including it in any policy manual
and collective bargaining agreement; by publicizing it in the company
newspaper, annual report, etc.; by specific review of the policy with all
management personnel and with all minority and female employees at least
once a year; and by posting the company EEO policy on bulletin boards
accessible to all employees at each location where construction work is
performed.
g. Review, at least annually, the company's EEO policy and affirmative action
obligations under these specifications with all employees having any
responsibility for hiring, assignment, layoff, termination or other employment
decisions including specific review of these items with on-site supervisory
personnel such as Superintendents, General Foremen, etc., prior to the
initiation of construction work at any job site. A written record shall be made
and maintained identifying the time and place of these meetings, persons
attending, subject matter discussed, and disposition of the subject matter.
h. Disseminate the Contractor's EEO policy externally by including it in any
advertising in the news media, specifically including minority and female news
media, and providing written notification to and discussing the Contractor's
EEO policy with other Contractors and Subcontractors with whom the
Contractor does or anticipates doing business.
i. Direct its recruitment efforts, both oral and written to minority, female and
community organizations, to schools with minority and female students and to
minority and female recruitment and training organizations serving the
Contractor's recruitment area and employment needs. Not later than one
month prior to the date for the acceptance of applications for apprenticeship or
other training by any recruitment source, the Contractor shall send written
Special Provisions SP-38
Williams Ave S & Wells Ave S Conversion Project December 2019
notification to organizations such as the above, describing the openings,
screening procedures, and tests to be used in the selection process.
j. Encourage present minority and female employees to recruit other minority
persons and women and where reasonable, provide after school, summer and
vacation employment to minority and female youth both on the site and in other
areas of a Contractor's work force.
k. Validate all tests and other selection requirements where there is an obligation
to do so under 41 CFR Part 60-3.
l. Conduct, at least annually, an inventory and evaluation of all minority and
female personnel for promotional opportunities and encourage these
employees to seek or to prepare for, through appropriate training, etc., such
opportunities.
m. Ensure that seniority practices, job classifications, work assignments and other
personnel practices, do not have a discriminatory effect by continually
monitoring all personnel and employment related activities to ensure that the
EEO policy and the Contractor's obligations under these specifications are
being carried out.
n. Ensure that all facilities and company activities are nonsegregated except that
separate or single-user toilet and necessary changing facilities shall be
provided to assure privacy between the sexes.
o. Document and maintain a record of all solicitations of offers for subcontracts
from minority and female construction contractors and suppliers, including
circulation of solicitations to minority and female contractor associations and
other business associations.
p. Conduct a review, at least annually, of all supervisors' adherence to and
performance under the Contractor's EEO policies and affirmative action
obligations.
8. Contractors are encouraged to participate in voluntary associations which assist in
fulfilling one or more of their affirmative action obligations (7a through 7p). The efforts
of a contractor association, joint contractor-union, contractor-community, or other similar
group of which the Contractor is a member and participant, may be asserted as fulfilling
any one or more of the obligations under 7a through 7p of this Special Provision provided
that the Contractor actively participates in the group, makes every effort to assure that
the group has a positive impact on the employment of minorities and women in the
industry, ensure that the concrete benefits of the program are reflected in the
Contractor's minority and female work-force participation, makes a good faith effort to
meet its individual goals and timetables, and can provide access to documentation which
demonstrate the effectiveness of actions taken on behalf of the Contractor. The
obligation to comply, however, is the Contractor's and failure of such a group to fulfill an
obligation shall not be a defense for the Contractor's noncompliance.
9. A single goal for minorities and a separate single goal for women have been established.
The Contractor, however, is required to provide equal employment opportunity and to
take affirmative action for all minority groups, both male and female, and all women, both
minority and non-minority. Consequently, the Contractor may be in violation of the
Executive Order if a particular group is employed in substantially disparate manner (for
Special Provisions SP-39
Williams Ave S & Wells Ave S Conversion Project December 2019
example, even though the Contractor has achieved its goals for women generally, the
Contractor may be in violation of the Executive Order if a specific minority group of
women is underutilized).
10. The Contractor shall not use the goals and timetables or affirmative action standards to
discriminate against any person because of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.
11. The Contractor shall not enter into any subcontract with any person or firm debarred
from Government contracts pursuant to Executive Order 11246.
12. The Contractor shall carry out such sanctions and penalties for violation of these
specifications and of the Equal Opportunity Clause, including suspensions, terminations
and cancellations of existing subcontracts as may be imposed or ordered pursuant to
Executive Order 11246, as amended, and its implementing regulations by the Office of
Federal Contract Compliance Programs. Any Contractor who fails to carry out such
sanctions and penalties shall be in violation of these specifications and Executive Order
11246, as amended.
13. The Contractor, in fulfilling its obligations under these specifications, shall implement
specific affirmative action steps, at least as extensive as those standards prescribed in
paragraph 7 of this Special Provision, so as to achieve maximum results from its efforts
to ensure equal employment opportunity. If the Contractor fails to comply with the
requirements of the Executive Order, the implementing regulations, or these
specifications, the Director shall proceed in accordance with 41 CFR 60-4.8.
14. The Contractor shall designate a responsible official to monitor all employment related
activity to ensure that the company EEO policy is being carried out, to submit reports
relating to the provisions hereof as may be required by the government and to keep
records. Records shall at least include, for each employee, their name, address,
telephone numbers, construction trade, union affiliation if any, employee identification
number when assigned, social security number, race, sex, status (e.g., mechanic,
apprentice, trainee, helper, or laborer), dates of changes in status, hours worked per
week in the indicated trade, rate of pay, and locations at which the work was performed.
Records shall be maintained in an easily understandable and retrievable form; however,
to the degree that existing records satisfy this requirement, the Contractors will not be
required to maintain separate records.
15. Nothing herein provided shall be construed as a limitation upon the application of other
laws which establish different standards of compliance or upon the application of
requirements for the hiring of local or other area residents (e.g., those under the Public
Works Employment Act of 1977 and the Community Development Block Grant
Program).

Certified Business Description – Specific descriptions of work the DBE is certified
to perform, as identified in the Certified Firm Directory, under the Vendor
Information page.
Certified Firm Directory – A database of all Minority, Women, and Disadvantaged
Business Enterprises, including those identified as a UDBE, currently certified by
Washington State. The on-line Directory is available to Contractors for their use in
identifying and soliciting interest from DBE firms. The database is located under the
Firm Certification section of the Diversity Management and Compliance System
web page at: https://omwbe.diversitycompliance.com.
Commercially Useful Function (CUF) – 49 CFR 26.55(c)(1) defines commercially
useful function as: “A DBE performs a commercially useful function when it is
responsible for execution of the work of the contract and is carrying out its
responsibilities by actually performing, managing, and supervising the work
involved. To perform a commercially useful function, the DBE must also be
responsible, with respect to materials and supplies used on the contract, for
negotiating price, determining quality and quantity, ordering the material, and
installing (where applicable) and paying for the material itself. To determine whether
a DBE is performing a commercially useful function, you must evaluate the amount
of work subcontracted, industry practices, whether the amount the firm is to be paid
under the contract is commensurate with the work it is actually performing and the
DBE credit claimed for its performance of the work, and other relevant factors.”
Special Provisions SP-41
Williams Ave S & Wells Ave S Conversion Project December 2019
Contract – For this Special Provision only, this definition supplements Section 1-
01.3. 49 CFR 26.5 defines contract as: “… a legally binding relationship obligating
a seller to furnish supplies or services (including, but not limited to, construction and
professional services) and the buyer to pay for them. For purposes of this part, a
lease is considered to be a contract.”
Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) – A business firm certified by the
Washington State Office of Minority and Women’s Business Enterprises, as
meeting the criteria outlined in 49 CFR 26 regarding DBE certification. A
Underutilized Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (UDBE) firm is a subset of DBE.

warehouse, or other establishment in which the materials or supplies required for
the performance of a Contract are bought, kept in stock, and regularly sold to the
public in the usual course of business. To be a Regular Dealer, the DBE firm must
be an established regular business that engages in as its principal business and in
its own name the purchase and sale of the products in question. A Regular Dealer
in such items as steel, cement, gravel, stone, and petroleum products need not own,
operate or maintain a place of business if it both owns and operates distribution
equipment for the products. Any supplementing of regular dealers’ own distribution
equipment shall be by long-term formal lease agreements and not on an ad-hoc
basis. Brokers, packagers, manufacturers’ representatives, or other persons who
arrange or expedite transactions shall not be regarded as Regular Dealers within
the meaning of this definition.
Underutilized Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (UDBE) – A DBE Firm that is
underutilized based on WSDOT’s Disparity Study. All UDBEs are DBEs.
UDBE Commitment – The dollar amount the Contractor indicates they will be
subcontracting to be applied towards the UDBE Condition of Award Goal as shown
on the UDBE Utilization Certification Form for each UDBE Subcontractor. This
UDBE Commitment amount will be incorporated into the Contract and shall be
considered a Contract requirement. Any changes to the UDBE Commitment require
the Engineer’s approval.
UDBE Condition of Award (COA) Goal – An assigned numerical amount specified
as a percentage of the Contract. Initially, this is the minimum amount that the Bidder
Special Provisions SP-42

must commit to by submission of the Utilization Certification Form and/or by Good
Faith Effort (GFE). This is also the minimum required amount of UDBE participation
specified as a percentage of the final Contract amount inclusive of all change
orders.
UDBE COA Goal
The Contracting Agency has established a UDBE COA Goal for this Contract in the
amount of: *** 13% ***
DBE Eligibility/Selection of DBEs
In order to determine the distinct element(s) of work for which a DBE is certified,
Contractors should refer to the Certified Business Description. The Contractor shall not
use NAICS codes on the UDBE Utilization Certification.
Crediting DBE Participation
Subcontractors proposed as COA must be certified prior to the due date for bids on the
Contract. All non-COA DBE Subcontractors shall be certified before the subcontract on
which they are participating is executed.
Be advised that although a firm is listed in the Certified Firm Directory, there are cases
where the listed firm is in a temporary suspension status. The Contractor shall review
the OMWBE Suspended DBE Firms list. A DBE firm that is included on this list may not
enter into new contracts that count towards participation.
DBE participation is only credited upon payment to the DBE.
The following are some definitions of what may be counted as DBE participation.
DBE Prime Contractor
Only take credit for that portion of the total dollar value of the Contract equal to the
distinct, clearly defined portion of the Work that the DBE Prime Contractor performs
with its own forces and is certified to perform.
DBE Subcontractor
Only take credit for that portion of the total dollar value of the subcontract that is
equal to the distinct, clearly defined portion of the Work that the DBE performs with
its own forces. The value of work performed by the DBE includes the cost of
supplies and materials purchased by the DBE and equipment leased by the DBE,
for its work on the contract. Supplies, materials or equipment obtained by a DBE
that are not utilized or incorporated in the contract work by the DBE will not be
eligible for DBE credit.
The supplies, materials, and equipment purchased or leased from the Contractor or
its affiliate, including any Contractor’s resources available to DBE subcontractors at
no cost, shall not be credited.
DBE credit will not be given in instances where the equipment lease includes the
operator. The DBE is expected to operate the equipment used in the performance
of its work under the contract with its own forces. Situations where equipment is
leased and used by the DBE, but payment is deducted from the Contractor’s
payment to the DBE is not allowed.
Special Provisions SP-43
Williams Ave S & Wells Ave S Conversion Project December 2019
When the subcontractor is part of a UDBE Commitment, the following apply:
1. If a UDBE subcontracts a portion of the Work of its contract to another firm,
the value of the subcontracted Work may be counted toward the UDBE
COA Goal only if the Lower-Tier Subcontractor is also a UDBE.
2. Work subcontracted to a Lower-Tier Subcontractor that is a DBE, but not a
UDBE, may be counted as DBE race-neutral participation but not counted
toward the UDBE COA Goal.
3. Work subcontracted to a non-DBE does not count towards the UDBE COA
Goal nor DBE participation.
DBE Subcontract and Lower Tier Subcontract Documents
There must be a subcontract agreement that complies with 49 CFR Part 26 and
fully describes the distinct elements of Work committed to be performed by the DBE.
The subcontract agreement shall incorporate requirements of the primary Contract.
Subcontract agreements of all tiers, including lease agreements shall be readily
available at the project site for the Engineer’s review.
DBE Service Provider
The value of fees or commissions charged by a DBE Broker, a DBE behaving in a
manner of a Broker, or another service provider for providing a bona fide service,
such as professional, technical, consultant, managerial services, or for providing
bonds or insurance specifically required for the performance of the contract will only
be credited as DBE participation, if the fee/commission is determined by the
Contracting Agency to be reasonable and the firm has performed a CUF.
Force Account Work
When the Contractor elects to utilize force account Work to meet the UDBE COA
Goal, as demonstrated by listing this force account Work on the UDBE Utilization
Certification Form, for the purposes of meeting UDBE COA Goal, only 50% of the
Proposal amount shall be credited toward the Contractors Commitment to meet the
UDBE COA Goal.
One hundred percent of the actual amounts paid to the DBE for the force account
Work shall be credited towards UDBE COA Goal or DBE participation.
Temporary Traffic Control
If the DBE firm is being utilized in the capacity of only “Flagging”, the DBE firm must
provide a Traffic Control Supervisor (TCS) and flagger, which are under the direct
control of the DBE. The DBE firm shall also provide all flagging equipment (e.g.
paddles, hard hats, and vests).
If the DBE firm is being utilized in the capacity of “Traffic Control Services”, the DBE
firm must provide a TCS, flaggers, and traffic control items (e.g., cones, barrels,
signs, etc.) and be in total control of all items in implementing the traffic control for
the project. In addition, if the DBE firm utilizes the Contractor’s equipment, such as
Transportable Attenuators and Portable Changeable Message Signs (PCMS) no
DBE credit can be taken for supplying and operating the items.
Special Provisions SP-44
Williams Ave S & Wells Ave S Conversion Project December 2019
Trucking
DBE trucking firm participation may only be credited as DBE participation for the
value of the hauling services, not for the materials being hauled unless the trucking
firm is also certified as a supplier. In situations where the DBE’s work is priced per
ton, the value of the hauling service must be calculated separately from the value
of the materials in order to determine DBE credit for hauling
The DBE trucking firm must own and operate at least one licensed, insured and
operational truck on the contract. The truck must be of the type that is necessary to
perform the hauling duties required under the contract. The DBE receives credit for
the value of the transportation services it provides on the Contract using trucks it
owns or leases, licenses, insures, and operates with drivers it employs.
The DBE may lease additional trucks from another DBE firm.
The trucking Work subcontracted to any non-DBE trucking firm will not receive credit
for Work done on the project. The DBE may lease trucks from a non-DBE truck
leasing company, but can only receive credit towards DBE participation if the DBE
uses its own employees as drivers.
DBE credit for a truck broker is limited to the fee/commission that the DBE receives
for arranging transportation services.
Truck registration and lease agreements shall be readily available at the project site
for the Engineer review.
When Trucking is a UDBE Commitment, the following apply:
1. If the trucking firm is a UDBE, participation may count towards the UDBE
COA Goal.
2. The Work that a UDBE trucking firm performs with trucks it leases from
other certified UDBE trucking firms qualify for 100% credit towards the
UDBE COA Goal.
3. The UDBE may lease trucks from a non-UDBE truck leasing company, but
can only receive credit towards UDBE participation if the UDBE uses its
own employees as drivers.
DBE Manufacturer and DBE Regular Dealer
One hundred percent (100%) of the cost of the manufactured product obtained from
a DBE manufacturer can count as DBE participation. If the DBE manufacturer is a
UDBE, participation may count towards the UDBE COA Goal.
Sixty percent (60%) of the cost of materials or supplies purchased from a DBE
Regular Dealer may be credited as DBE Participation. If the role of the DBE Regular
Dealer is determined to be that of a pass-through, then no DBE credit will be given
for its services. If the role of the DBE Regular Dealer is determined to be that of a
Broker, then DBE credit shall be limited to the fee or commission it receives for its
services. Regular Dealer status and the amount of credit is determined on a
Special Provisions SP-45
Williams Ave S & Wells Ave S Conversion Project December 2019
Contract-by-Contract basis. If the DBE regular dealer is a UDBE, participation may
count towards the UDBE COA Goal.
Regular Dealer DBE firms, including UDBEs must be approved before being used
on a project. The WSDOT Approved Regular Dealer list published on WSDOT’s
Office of Equal Opportunity (OEO) web site must include the specific project for
which approval is being requested. For purposes of the UDBE COA Goal
participation, the Regular Dealer must submit the Regular Dealer Status Request
form a minimum of five days prior to bid opening.
Purchase of materials or supplies from a DBE which is neither a manufacturer nor
a regular dealer, (i.e. Broker) only the fees or commissions charged for assistance
in the procurement of the materials and supplies, or fees or transportation charges
for the delivery of materials or supplies required on a job site, can count as DBE
participation provided the fees are not excessive as compared with fees customarily
allowed for similar services. Documentation will be required to support the
fee/commission charged by the DBE. The cost of the materials and supplies
themselves cannot be counted toward as DBE participation.
Note: Requests to be listed as a Regular Dealer will only be processed if the
requesting firm is a material supplier certified by the Office of Minority and
Women’s Business Enterprises in a NAICS code that falls within the
42XXXX NAICS Wholesale code section.
Underutilized Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Utilization
The requirements of this section apply to projects with a UDBE COA Goal. To be eligible
for award of the Contract, the Bidder shall properly complete and submit an Underutilized
Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (UDBE) Utilization Certification with the Bidder’s
sealed Bid Proposal, as specified in Section 1-02.9 Delivery of Proposal. The Bidder’s
UDBE Utilization Certification must clearly demonstrate how the Bidder intends to meet
the UDBE COA Goal. A UDBE Utilization Certification (WSDOT Form 272-056U) is
included in the Proposal package for this purpose as well as instructions on how to
properly fill out the form.
The Bidder is advised that the items listed below when listed in the Utilization
Certification must have their amounts reduced to the percentages shown and those
reduced amounts will be the amount applied towards meeting the UDBE COA Goal.
• Force account at 50%
• Regular dealer at 60%
In the event of arithmetic errors in completing the UDBE Utilization Certification, the
amount listed to be applied towards the UDBE COA Goal for each UDBE shall govern
and the UDBE total amount shall be adjusted accordingly.
Note: The Contracting Agency shall consider as non-responsive and shall reject
any Bid Proposal submitted that does not contain a UDBE Utilization
Certification Form that accurately demonstrates how the Bidder intends to
meet the UDBE COA Goal.
Special Provisions SP-46
Williams Ave S & Wells Ave S Conversion Project December 2019
Underutilized Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Written Confirmation
Document(s)
The requirements of this section apply to projects with a UDBE COA Goal. The Bidder
shall submit an Underutilized Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (UDBE) Written
Confirmation Document (completed and signed by the UDBE) for each UDBE firm listed
in the Bidder’s completed UDBE Utilization Certification submitted with the Bid. Failure
to do so will result in the associated participation being disallowed, which may cause the
Bid to be determined to be nonresponsive resulting in Bid rejection.
The Confirmation Documents provide confirmation from the UDBEs that they are
participating in the Contract as provided in the Contractor’s Commitment. The
Confirmation Documents must be consistent with the Utilization Certification.
A UDBE Written Confirmation Document (WSDOT Form 422-031U) is included in the
Proposal package for this purpose.
The form(s) shall be received as specified in the special provisions for Section 1-02.9
Delivery of Proposal.
It is prohibited for the Bidder to require a UDBE to submit a Written Confirmation
Document with any part of the form left blank. Should the Contracting Agency determine
that an incomplete Written Confirmation Document was signed by a UDBE, the validity
of the document comes into question. The associated UDBE participation may not
receive credit.
Selection of Successful Bidder/Good Faith Efforts (GFE)
The requirements of this section apply to projects with a UDBE COA Goal. The
successful Bidder shall be selected on the basis of having submitted the lowest
responsive Bid, which demonstrates a good faith effort to achieve the UDBE COA Goal.
The Contracting Agency, at any time during the selection process, may request a
breakdown of the bid items and amounts that are counted towards the overall contract
goal for any of the UDBEs listed on the UDBE Utilization Certification.
Achieving the UDBE COA Goal may be accomplished in one of two ways:
1. By meeting the UDBE COA Goal
Submission of the UDBE Utilization Certification and supporting UDBE Written
Confirmation Document(s) showing the Bidder has obtained enough UDBE
participation to meet or exceed the UDBE COA Goal.
2. By documentation that the Bidder made adequate GFE to meet the UDBE COA
Goal
The Bidder may demonstrate a GFE in whole or part through GFE
documentation ONLY IN THE EVENT a Bidder’s efforts to solicit sufficient
UDBE participation have been unsuccessful. The Bidder must supply GFE
documentation in addition to the UDBE Utilization Certification, and supporting
UDBE Written Confirmation Document(s).
Special Provisions SP-47
Williams Ave S & Wells Ave S Conversion Project December 2019
Note: In the case where a Bidder is awarded the contract based on demonstrating
adequate GFE, the advertised UDBE COA Goal will not be reduced. The
Bidder shall demonstrate a GFE during the life of the Contract to attain the
advertised UDBE COA Goal.
GFE documentation shall be submitted as specified in Section 1-02.9.
The Contracting Agency will review the GFE documentation and will determine if the
Bidder made an adequate good faith effort.
Good Faith Effort (GFE) Documentation
GFE is evaluated when:
1. Determining award of a Contract that has COA goal,
2. When a COA UDBE is terminated and substitution is required, and
3. Prior to Physical Completion when determining whether the Contractor has
satisfied its UDBE commitments.
49 CFR Part 26, Appendix A is intended as general guidance and does not, in itself,
demonstrate adequate good faith efforts. The following is a list of types of actions, which
would be considered as part of the Bidder’s GFE to achieve UDBE participation. It is not
intended to be a mandatory checklist, nor is it intended to be exclusive or exhaustive.
Other factors or types of efforts may be relevant in appropriate cases.
1. Soliciting through all reasonable and available means (e.g. attendance at pre-
bid meetings, advertising and/or written notices) the interest of all certified
UDBEs who have the capability to perform the Work of the Contract. The
Bidder must solicit this interest within sufficient time to allow the UDBEs to
respond to the solicitation. The Bidder must determine with certainty if the
UDBEs are interested by taking appropriate steps to follow up initial
solicitations.
2. Selecting portions of the Work to be performed by UDBEs in order to increase
the likelihood that the UDBE COA Goal will be achieved. This includes, where
appropriate, breaking out contract Work items into economically feasible units
to facilitate UDBE participation, even when the Contractor might otherwise
prefer to perform these Work items with its own forces.
3. Providing interested UDBEs with adequate information about the Plans,
Specifications, and requirements of the Contract in a timely manner to assist
them in responding to a solicitation.
a. Negotiating in good faith with interested UDBEs. It is the Bidder’s
responsibility to make a portion of the Work available to UDBE
subcontractors and suppliers and to select those portions of the Work or
material needs consistent with the available UDBE subcontractors and
suppliers, so as to facilitate UDBE participation. Evidence of such
negotiation includes the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of
UDBEs that were considered; a description of the information provided
regarding the Plans and Specifications for the Work selected for
Special Provisions SP-48
Williams Ave S & Wells Ave S Conversion Project December 2019
subcontracting; and evidence as to why additional agreements could not
be reached for UDBEs to perform the Work.
b. A Bidder using good business judgment would consider a number of
factors in negotiating with subcontractors, including DBE subcontractors,
and would take a firm’s price and capabilities as well as the UDBE COA
Goal into consideration. However, the fact that there may be some
additional costs involved in finding and using UDBEs is not in itself
sufficient reason for a Bidder’s failure to meet the UDBE COA Goal, as
long as such costs are reasonable. Also, the ability or desire of a
Contractor to perform the Work of a Contract with its own organization
does not relieve the Bidder of the responsibility to make Good Faith Efforts.
Contractors are not, however, required to accept higher quotes from
UDBEs if the price difference is excessive or unreasonable.
4. Not rejecting UDBEs as being unqualified without sound reasons based on a
thorough investigation of their capabilities. The Contractor’s standing within its
industry, membership in specific groups, organizations, or associations and
political or social affiliations (for example union vs. non-union employee status)
are not legitimate causes for the rejection or non-solicitation of bids in the
Contractor’s efforts to meet the UDBE COA Goal.
5. Making efforts to assist interested UDBEs in obtaining bonding, lines of credit,
or insurance as required by the recipient or Contractor.
6. Making efforts to assist interested UDBEs in obtaining necessary equipment,
supplies, materials, or related assistance or services.
7. Effectively using the services of available minority/women community
organizations; minority/women contractors’ groups; local, State, and Federal
minority/women business assistance offices; and other organizations as
allowed on a case-by-case basis to provide assistance in the recruitment and
placement of UDBEs.
8. Documentation of GFE must include copies of each UDBE and non-DBE
subcontractor quotes submitted to the Bidder when a non-DBE subcontractor
is selected over a UDBE for Work on the Contract. (ref. updated DBE
regulations – 26.53(b)(2)(vi) & App. A)
Administrative Reconsideration of GFE Documentation
A Bidder has the right to request reconsideration if the GFE documentation submitted
with their Bid was determined to be inadequate.
• The Bidder must request within 48 hours of notification of being nonresponsive
or forfeit the right to reconsideration.
• The reconsideration decision on the adequacy of the Bidder’s GFE
documentation shall be made by an official who did not take part in the original
determination.
• Only original GFE documentation submitted as a supplement to the Bid shall
be considered. The Bidder shall not introduce new documentation at the
reconsideration hearing.
Special Provisions SP-49
Williams Ave S & Wells Ave S Conversion Project December 2019
• The Bidder shall have the opportunity to meet in person with the official for the
purpose of setting forth the Bidder’s position as to why the GFE documentation
demonstrates a sufficient effort.
• The reconsideration official shall provide the Bidder with a written decision on
reconsideration within five working days of the hearing explaining the basis for
their finding.
Procedures between Award and Execution
After Award and prior to Execution, the Contractor shall provide the additional
information described below. Failure to comply shall result in the forfeiture of the Bidder’s
Proposal bond or deposit.
1. A UDBE Bid Item Breakdown is required which shall contain the following
information for all UDBEs as shown on the UDBE Utilization Certification:
a. Correct business name, federal employee identification number (if
available), and mailing address.
b. List of all Bid items assigned to each UDBE with a clear description of
Work to be performed for each Bid item and the dollar value of the Work
to be performed by the UDBE.
c. Description of partial items (if any) to be sublet to each UDBE specifying
the Work committed under each item to be performed and including the
dollar value of the UDBE portion.
d. Total amounts shown for each UDBE shall match the amount shown on
the UDBE Utilization Certification. A UDBE Bid Item Breakdown that does
not conform to the UDBE Utilization Certification or that demonstrates a
different amount of UDBE participation than that included in the UDBE
Utilization Certification will be returned for correction.
2. A list of all firms who submitted a bid or quote in attempt to participate in this
project whether they were successful or not. Include the business name and
mailing address.
Note: The firms identified by the Contractor may be contacted by the Contracting
Agency to solicit general information as follows: age of the firm and average
of its gross annual receipts over the past three-years.
Procedures after Execution
Commercially Useful Function (CUF)
The Contractor may only take credit for the payments made for Work performed by
a DBE that is determined to be performing a CUF. Payment must be commensurate
with the work actually performed by the DBE. This applies to all DBEs performing
Work on a project, whether or not the DBEs are COA, if the Contractor wants to
receive credit for their participation. The Engineer will conduct CUF reviews to
ascertain whether DBEs are performing a CUF. A DBE performs a CUF when it is
carrying out its responsibilities of its contract by actually performing, managing, and
Special Provisions SP-50
Williams Ave S & Wells Ave S Conversion Project December 2019
supervising the Work involved. The DBE must be responsible for negotiating price;
determining quality and quantity; ordering the material, installing (where applicable);
and paying for the material itself. If a DBE does not perform “all” of these functions
on a furnish-and-install contract, it has not performed a CUF and the cost of
materials cannot be counted toward UDBE COA Goal. Leasing of equipment from
a leasing company is allowed. However, leasing/purchasing equipment from the
Contractor is not allowed. Lease agreements shall be readily available for review
by the Engineer.
In order for a DBE traffic control company to be considered to be performing a CUF,
the DBE must be in control of its work inclusive of supervision. The DBE shall
employ a Traffic Control Supervisor who is directly involved in the management and
supervision of the traffic control employees and services.
The DBE does not perform a CUF if its role is limited to that of an extra participant
in a transaction, contract, or project through which the funds are passed in order to
obtain the appearance of DBE participation.
The following are some of the factors that the Engineer will use in determining
whether a DBE trucking company is performing a CUF:
• The DBE shall be responsible for the management and supervision of the
entire trucking operation for which it is responsible on the contract. The
owner demonstrates business related knowledge, shows up on site and is
determined to be actively running the business.
• The DBE shall with its own workforce, operate at least one fully licensed,
insured, and operational truck used on the Contract. The drivers of the
trucks owned and leased by the DBE must be exclusively employed by the
DBE and reflected on the DBE’s payroll.
• Lease agreements for trucks shall indicate that the DBE has exclusive use
of and control over the truck(s). This does not preclude the leased truck
from working for others provided it is with the consent of the DBE and the
lease provides the DBE absolute priority for use of the leased truck.
• Leased trucks shall display the name and identification number of the
DBE.
UDBE Utilization Plan
The UDBE Bid Item Breakdown is the initial plan for Bid Item work committed to
UDBE firms. At any time between Execution and Physical Completion, if the
Contractor identifies a change in the plan, an update to the Bid Item Breakdown
shall be submitted to the Engineer within 7 calendar days of the proposed change
for review and acceptance. Plan updates shall not make changes to the
Commitment or the UDBE Utilization Certification.
Joint Checking
A joint check is a check between a Subcontractor and the Contractor to the supplier
of materials/supplies. The check is issued by the Contractor as payer to the
Subcontractor and the material supplier jointly for items to be incorporated into the
Special Provisions SP-51
Williams Ave S & Wells Ave S Conversion Project December 2019
project. The DBE must release the check to the supplier, while the Contractor acts
solely as the guarantor.
A joint check agreement must be approved by the Engineer and requested by the
DBE involved using the DBE Joint Check Request Form (form # 272-053) prior to
its use. The form must accompany the DBE Joint Check Agreement between the
parties involved, including the conditions of the arrangement and expected use of
the joint checks.
The approval to use joint checks and the use will be closely monitored by the
Engineer. To receive DBE credit for performing a CUF with respect to obtaining
materials and supplies, a DBE must “be responsible for negotiating price,
determining quality and quantity, ordering the material, installing and paying for the
material itself.” The Contractor shall submit DBE Joint Check Request Form for the
Engineer approval prior to using a joint check.
Material costs paid by the Contractor directly to the material supplier are not
allowed. If proper procedures are not followed or the Engineer determines that the
arrangement results in lack of independence for the DBE involved, no DBE credit
will be given for the DBE’s participation as it relates to the material cost.
Prompt Payment
Prompt payment to all subcontractors shall be in accordance with Section 1-08.1.
Prompt payment requirements apply to progress payments as well as return of
retainage.
Reporting
The Contractor and all subcontractors/suppliers/service providers that utilize DBEs
to perform work on the project, shall maintain appropriate records that will enable
the Engineer to verify DBE participation throughout the life of the project.
Refer to Section 1-08.1 for additional reporting requirements associated with this
contract.
Changes in COA Work Committed to UDBE
The Contractor shall utilize the COA UDBEs to perform the work and supply the
materials for which each is committed unless approved by the Engineer. The Contractor
shall not be entitled to any payment for work or material completed by the Contractor or
subcontractors that was committed to be completed by the COA UDBEs.
Owner Initiated Changes
Where the Engineer makes changes that result in changes to Work that was
committed to a COA UDBE. The Contractor may be directed to substitute for the
Work in such instances.
Contractor Initiated Changes
The Contractor cannot reduce the amount of work committed to a COA UDBE
without good cause. Reducing UDBE Commitment is viewed as partial UDBE
termination, and therefore subject to the termination procedures below.
Special Provisions SP-52
Williams Ave S & Wells Ave S Conversion Project December 2019
Original Quantity Underruns
In the event that Work committed to a UDBE firm as part of the COA underruns the
original planned quantities the Contractor may be required to substitute other
remaining Work to another UDBE.
Contractor Proposed DBE Substitutions
Requests to substitute a COA UDBE must be for good cause (see UDBE
termination process below), and requires prior written approval of the Engineer.
After receiving a termination with good cause approval, the Contractor may only
replace a UDBE with another certified UDBE. When any changes between Contract
Award and Execution result in a substitution of COA UDBE, the substitute UDBE
shall be certified prior to the bid opening on the Contract.
UDBE Termination
Termination of a COA UDBE (or an approved substitute UDBE) is only allowed in
whole or in part with prior written approval of the Engineer. If the Contractor
terminates a COA UDBE without the written approval of the Engineer, the
Contractor shall not be entitled to credit towards the UDBE COA Goal for any
payment for work or material performed/supplied by the COA UDBE. In addition,
sanctions may apply as described elsewhere in this specification.
The Contractor must have good cause to terminate a COA UDBE.
Good cause typically includes situations where the UDBE Subcontractor is unable
or unwilling to perform the work of its subcontract. Good cause may exist if:
• The UDBE fails or refuses to execute a written contract.
• The UDBE fails or refuses to perform the Work of its subcontract in a way
consistent with normal industry standards.
• The UDBE fails or refuses to meet the Contractor’s reasonable
nondiscriminatory bond requirements.
• The UDBE becomes bankrupt, insolvent, or exhibits credit unworthiness.
• The UDBE is ineligible to work on public works projects because of
suspension and debarment proceedings pursuant to federal law or
applicable State law.
• The UDBE voluntarily withdraws from the project, and provides written
notice of its withdrawal.
• The UDBE’s work is deemed unsatisfactory by the Engineer and not in
compliance with the Contract.
• The UDBE’s owner dies or becomes disabled with the result that the UDBE
is unable to complete its Work on the Contract.
Good cause does not exist if:
Special Provisions SP-53
Williams Ave S & Wells Ave S Conversion Project December 2019
• The Contractor seeks to terminate a COA UDBE so that the Contractor
can self-perform the Work.
• The Contractor seeks to terminate a COA UDBE so the Contractor can
substitute another DBE contractor or non-DBE contractor after Contract
Award.
• The failure or refusal of the COA UDBE to perform its Work on the
subcontract results from the bad faith or discriminatory action of the
Contractor (e.g., the failure of the Contractor to make timely payments or
the unnecessary placing of obstacles in the path of the UDBE’s Work).
Prior to requesting termination, the Contractor shall give notice in writing to the
UDBE with a copy to the Engineer of its intent to request to terminate UDBE Work
and the reasons for doing so. The UDBE shall have five (5) days to respond to the
Contractor’s notice. The UDBE’s response shall either support the termination or
advise the Engineer and the Contractor of the reasons it objects to the termination
of its subcontract.
When a COA UDBE is terminated, or fails to complete its work on the Contract for
any reason, the Contractor shall substitute with another UDBE or provide
documentation of GFE. A plan to achieve the COA UDBE Commitment shall be
submitted to the Engineer within 2 days of the approval of termination or the
Contract shall be suspended until such time the substitution plan is submitted.
Decertification
When a DBE is “decertified” from the DBE program during the course of the
Contract, the participation of that DBE shall continue to count as DBE participation
as long as the subcontract with the DBE was executed prior to the decertification
notice. The Contractor is obligated to substitute when a DBE does not have an
executed subcontract agreement at the time of decertification.
Consequences of Non-Compliance
Breach of Contract
Each contract with a Contractor (and each subcontract the Contractor signs with a
Subcontractor) must include the following assurance clause:
The Contractor, subrecipient, or Subcontractor shall not discriminate on the basis
of race, color, national origin, or sex in the performance of this contract. The
Contractor shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 CFR Part 26 in the award
and administration of DOT-assisted contracts. Failure by the Contractor to carry
out these requirements is a material breach of this Contract, which may result in the
termination of this Contract or such other remedy as the recipient deems
appropriate, which may include, but is not limited to:
(1) Withholding monthly progress payments;
(2) Assessing sanctions;
(3) Liquidated damages; and/or
Special Provisions SP-54
Williams Ave S & Wells Ave S Conversion Project December 2019
(4) Disqualifying the Contractor from future bidding as non-responsible.
Notice
If the Contractor or any Subcontractor, Consultant, Regular Dealer, or service
provider is deemed to be in non-compliance, the Contractor will be informed in
writing, by certified mail by the Engineer that sanctions will be imposed for failure to
meet the UDBE COA Commitment and/or submit documentation of good faith
efforts. The notice will state the specific sanctions to be imposed which may include
impacting a Contractor or other entity’s ability to participate in future contracts.
Sanctions
If it is determined that the Contractor’s failure to meet all or part of the UDBE COA
Commitment is due to the Contractor’s inadequate good faith efforts throughout the life
of the Contract, including failure to submit timely, required Good Faith Efforts information
and documentation, the Contractor may be required to pay DBE penalty equal to the
amount of the unmet Commitment, in addition to the sanctions outlined in Section 1-
07.11(5).
Payment
Compensation for all costs involved with complying with the conditions of this
Specification and any other associated DBE requirements is included in payment for the
associated Contract items of Work, except otherwise provided in the Specifications.
(April 3, 2017 WSDOT GSP)
Special Training Provisions
General Requirements
The Contractor’s equal employment opportunity, affirmative action program shall include
the requirements set forth below. The Contractor shall provide on-the-job training aimed
at developing trainees to journeyman status in the trades involved. The number of
training hours shall be *** 800 ***. Trainees shall not be assigned less than 400 hours.
The Contractor may elect to accomplish training as part of the work of a subcontractor,
however, the Prime Contractor shall retain the responsibility for complying with these
Special Provisions. The Contractor shall also ensure that this training provision is made
applicable to any subcontract that includes training.
Trainee Approval
The Federal government requires Contracting Agencies to include these training
provisions as a condition attached to the receipt of Federal highway funding. The Federal
government has determined that the training and promotion of members of certain
minority groups and women is a primary objective of this training provision. The
Contractor shall make every effort to enroll minority groups and women trainees to the
extent such persons are available within a reasonable recruitment area. This training
provision is not intended and shall not be used to discriminate against any applicant for
training, whether that person is a minority, woman or otherwise. A non-minority male
trainee or apprentice may be approved provided the following requirements are met:
1. The Contractor is otherwise in compliance with the contract’s Equal
Employment Opportunity and On-the-Job Training requirements and provides
documentation of the efforts taken to fill the specific training position with either
minorities or females
Special Provisions SP-55
Williams Ave S & Wells Ave S Conversion Project December 2019
2. or, if not otherwise in compliance, furnishes evidence of his/her systematic and
direct recruitment efforts in regard to the position in question and in promoting
the enrollment and/or employment of minorities and females in the craft which
the proposed trainee is to be trained
3. and the Contractor has made a good faith effort towards recruiting of minorities
and women. As a minimum this good faith effort shall consist of the following:
Distribution of written notices of available employment opportunities
with the Contractor and enrollment opportunities with its unions.
Distribution should include but not be limited to; minority and female
recruitment sources and minority and female community
organizations;
Records documenting the Contractor’s efforts and the outcome of
those efforts, to employ minority and female applicants and/or refer
them to unions;
Records reflecting the Contractor’s efforts in participating in
developing minority and female on-the-job training opportunities,
including upgrading programs and apprenticeship opportunities;
Distribution of written notices to unions and training programs
disseminating the Contractor’s EEO policy and requesting
cooperation in achieving EEO and OJT obligations.
No employee shall be employed as a trainee in any classification in which the employee
has successfully completed a training course leading to journeyman status or in which
the employee has been employed as a journeyman. The Contractor’s records shall
document the methods for determining the trainee’s status and findings in each case.
When feasible, 25 percent of apprentices or trainees in each occupation shall be in their
first year of apprenticeship or training.
For the purpose of this specification, acceptable training programs are those employing
trainees/apprentices registered with the following:
1. Washington State Department of Labor & Industries — State Apprenticeship
Training Council (SATC) approved apprenticeship agreement:
a. Pursuant to RCW 49.04.060, an apprenticeship agreement shall be;
i. an individual written agreement between an employer and
apprentice
ii. a written agreement between (an employer or an association
of employers) and an organization of employees describing
conditions of employment for apprentices
iii. a written statement describing conditions of employment for
apprentices in a plant where there is no bona fide employee
organization.
Special Provisions SP-56
Williams Ave S & Wells Ave S Conversion Project December 2019
All such agreements shall conform to the basic standards and other provisions
of RCW Chapter 49.
2. Apprentices must be registered with U.S. Department of Labor —
Apprenticeship Training, Employer, and Labor Services (ATELS) approved
program.
Or
3. Trainees participating in a non-ATELS/SATC program, which has been
approved by the contracting agency for the specific project.
4. For assistance in locating trainee candidates, the Contractor may call
WSDOT's OJT Support Services Technical Advisor at (360) 704-6314.
Obligation to Provide Information
Upon starting a new trainee, the Contractor shall furnish the trainee a copy of the
approved program the Contractor will follow in providing the training. Upon completion
of the training, the Contractor shall provide the Contracting Agency with a certification
showing the type and length of training satisfactorily completed by each trainee.
Training Program Approval
The Training Program shall meet the following requirements:
1. The Training Program (DOT Form 272-049) must be submitted to the Engineer
for approval prior to commencing contract work and shall be resubmitted when
modifications to the program occur.
2. The minimum length and type of training for each classification will be as
established in the training program as approved by the Contracting Agency.
3. The Training Program shall contain the trades proposed for training, the
number of trainees, the hours assigned to the trade and the estimated
beginning work date for each trainee.
4. Unless otherwise specified, Training Programs will be approved if the proposed
number of training hours equals the training hours required by contract and the
trainees are not assigned less than 400 hours each.
5. After approval of the training program, information concerning each individual
trainee and good faith effort documentation shall be submitted on (DOT Form
272-050.)
6. In King County, laborer trainees or apprentices will not be approved on
contracts containing less than 2000 training hours as specified in this Section.
In King County, no more than twenty percent (20%) of hours proposed for
trainees or apprentices shall be in the laborer classification when the contract
contains 2000 or more hours of training as specified in this Section. Trainees
shall not be assigned less than 400 hours.
7. Flagging programs will not be approved. Other programs that include flagging
training will only be approved if the flagging portion is limited to an orientation
of not more than 20 hours.
8. It is the intention of these provisions that training is to be provided in the
construction crafts rather than clerk-typists or secretarial-type positions.
Training is permissible in lower level management positions such as office
Special Provisions SP-57
Williams Ave S & Wells Ave S Conversion Project December 2019
engineers, estimators, timekeepers, etc., where the training is oriented toward
construction applications. Some off-site training is permissible as long as the
training is an integral part of an approved training program.
9. It is normally expected that a trainee will begin training on the project as soon
as feasible after start of work, utilizing the skill involved and remain on the
project as long as training opportunities exist in the work classification or upon
completion of the training program. It is not required that all trainees be on
board for the entire length of the contract. The number trained shall be
determined on the basis of the total number enrolled on the contract for a
significant period.
10. Wage Progressions: Trainees will be paid at least the applicable ratios or wage
progressions shown in the apprenticeship standards published by the
Washington State Department of Labor and Industries. In the event that no
training program has been established by the Department of Labor and
Industries, the trainee shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of RCW
39.12.021 which reads as follows:
Apprentice workmen employed upon public works projects for whom an
apprenticeship agreement has been registered and approved with the
State Apprenticeship Council pursuant to RCW 49.04, must be paid at
least the prevailing hourly rate for an apprentice of that trade. Any
workman for whom an apprenticeship agreement has not been registered
and approved by the State Apprenticeship Council shall be considered to
be a fully qualified journeyman, and, therefore, shall be paid at the
prevailing hourly rate for journeymen.
Compliance
In the event that the Contractor is unable to accomplish the required training hours but
can demonstrate a good faith effort to meet the requirements as specified, then the
Contracting Agency will adjust the training goals accordingly.
Requirements for Non ATELS/SATC Approved Training Programs
Contractors who are not affiliated with a program approved by ATELS or SATC may
have their training program approved provided that the program is submitted for approval
on DOT Form 272-049, and the following standards are addressed and incorporated in
the Contractor’s program:
The program establishes minimum qualifications for persons entering the
training program.
The program shall outline the work processes in which the trainee will receive
supervised work experience and training on-the-job and the allocation of the
approximate time to be spent in each major process. The program shall
include the method for recording and reporting the training completed shall be
stated.
The program shall include a numeric ratio of trainees to journeymen consistent
with proper supervision, training, safety, and continuity of employment. The
ratio language shall be specific and clear as to application in terms of job site
Special Provisions SP-58
Williams Ave S & Wells Ave S Conversion Project December 2019
and workforce during normal operations (normally considered to fall between
1:10 and 1:4).
The terms of training shall be stated in hours. The number of hours required
for completion to journeyman status shall be comparable to the apprenticeship
hours established for that craft by the SATC. The following are examples of
programs that are currently approved:
CRAFT HOURS
Laborer 4,000
Ironworker 6,000
Carpenter 5,200-8,000
Construction Electrician 8,000
Operating Engineer 6,000-8,000
Cement Mason 5,400
Teamster 2,100
The method to be used for recording and reporting the training completed shall
be stated.
Measurement
The Contractor may request that the total number of “training” hours for the contract be
increased subject to approval by the Contracting Agency. This reimbursement will be
made even though the Contractor receives additional training program funds from other
sources, provided such other sources do not prohibit other reimbursement.
Reimbursement to the Contractor for off-site training as indicated previously may only
be made when the Contractor does one or more of the following and the trainees are
concurrently employed on a Federal-aid project:
contributes to the cost of the training,
provides the instruction to the trainee,
pays the trainee’s wages during the off- site training period.
Reimbursement will be made upon receipt of a certified invoice that shows the related
payroll number, the name of trainee, total hours trained under the program, previously
paid hours under the contract, hours due this estimate, and dollar amount due this
estimate. The certified invoice shall show a statement indicating the Contractor’s effort
to enroll minorities and women when a new enrollment occurs. If a trainee is participating
in a SATC/ATELS approved apprenticeship program, a copy of the certificate showing
apprenticeship registration must accompany the first invoice on which the individual
appears. Reimbursement for training occurring prior to approval of the training program
will be allowed if the Contractor verbally notifies the Engineer of this occurrence at the
time the apprentice/trainee commences work. A trainee/apprentice, regardless of craft,
must have worked on the contract for at least 20 hours to be eligible for reimbursement.
Payment
The Contractor will be reimbursed under the item “Training” per hour for each hour of
training for each employee.

Umbrella Liability insurance policies shall be primary and non-contributory insurance
as respects the Contracting Agency’s insurance, self-insurance, or self-insured pool
coverage. Any insurance, self-insurance, or self-insured pool coverage maintained
by the Contracting Agency shall be excess of the Contractor’s insurance and shall
not contribute with it.

notice of any policy cancellation, within two business days of their receipt of such notice.
F. The Contractor shall not begin work under the Contract until the required insurance has
been obtained and approved by the Contracting Agency
G. Failure on the part of the Contractor to maintain the insurance as required shall constitute a
material breach of contract, upon which the Contracting Agency may, after giving five

Contract or, at its discretion, procure or renew such insurance and pay any and all premiums
in connection therewith, with any sums so expended to be repaid to the Contracting Agency
on demand, or at the sole discretion of the Contracting Agency, offset against funds due the
Contractor from the Contracting Agency.
H. All costs for insurance shall be incidental to and included in the unit or lump sum prices of
the Contract and no additional payment will be made.
1-07.18(2) Additional Insured

The Contractor shall deliver to the Contracting Agency a Certificate(s) of Insurance and
endorsements for each policy of insurance meeting the requirements set forth herein when the
Contractor delivers the signed Contract for the work. Failure of Contracting Agency to demand
such verification of coverage with these insurance requirements or failure of Contracting Agency
to identify a deficiency from the insurance documentation provided shall not be construed as a
waiver of Contractor’s obligation to maintain such insurance.
Verification of coverage shall include:
1. An ACORD certificate or a form determined by the Contracting Agency to be equivalent.
2. Copies of all endorsements naming Contracting Agency and all other entities listed in
1-07.18(2) as additional insured(s), showing the policy number. The Contractor may submit
a copy of any blanket additional insured clause from its policies instead of a separate

work in areas where right of way, easements or rights of entry have not been acquired until
the Engineer certifies to the Contractor that the right of way or easement is available or that
the right of entry has been received. If the Contractor is delayed due to acts of omission on
the part of the Contracting Agency in obtaining easements, rights of entry or right of way, the
Contractor will be entitled to an extension of time. The Contractor agrees that such delay
shall not be a breach of contract.

discharge temperature of the HMA shall not exceed the maximum recommended by the
manufacturer of the WMA additive. A maximum water content of 2 percent in the mix, at
discharge, will be allowed providing the water causes no problems with handling, stripping, or
flushing. If the water in the HMA causes any of these problems, the moisture content shall be
reduced as directed by the Engineer.
Storing or holding of the HMA in approved storage facilities will be permitted with approval of
the Engineer, but in no event shall the HMA be held for more than 24 hours. HMA held for
more than 24 hours after mixing shall be rejected. Rejected HMA shall be disposed of by the
Contractor at no expense to the Contracting Agency. The storage facility shall have an
accessible device located at the top of the cone or about the third point. The device shall
indicate the amount of material in storage. No HMA shall be accepted from the storage facility
when the HMA in storage is below the top of the cone of the storage facility, except as the
storage facility is being emptied at the end of the working shift.
Recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) utilized in the production of HMA shall be sized prior to
entering the mixer so that a uniform and thoroughly mixed HMA is produced. If there is
evidence of the recycled asphalt pavement not breaking down during the heating and mixing
of the HMA, the Contractor shall immediately suspend the use of the RAP until changes have
been approved by the Engineer. After the required amount of mineral materials, RAP, new
asphalt binder and asphalt rejuvenator have been introduced into the mixer the HMA shall be
mixed until complete and uniform coating of the particles and thorough distribution of the
asphalt binder throughout the mineral materials, and RAP is ensured.
5-04.3(7) Spreading and Finishing

distribute the mixture. Unless otherwise directed by the Engineer, the nominal compacted
depth of any layer of any course shall not exceed the following:
HMA Class 1” 0.35 feet
HMA Class ¾” and HMA Class ½”
wearing course 0.30 feet
other courses 0.35 feet
HMA Class ⅜” 0.15 feet
On areas where irregularities or unavoidable obstacles make the use of mechanical spreading
and finishing equipment impractical, the paving may be done with other equipment or by hand.
When more than one JMF is being utilized to produce HMA, the material produced for each
JMF shall be placed by separate spreading and compacting equipment. The intermingling of
HMA produced from more than one JMF is prohibited. Each strip of HMA placed during a work
shift shall conform to a single JMF established for the class of HMA specified unless there is
a need to make an adjustment in the JMF.
5-04.3(8) Aggregate Acceptance Prior to Incorporation in HMA
For HMA accepted by nonstatistical evaluation the aggregate properties of sand equivalent,
uncompacted void content and fracture will be evaluated in accordance with Section 3-04.
Sampling and testing of aggregates for HMA accepted by commercial evaluation will be at the
option of the Engineer.
5-04.3(9) HMA Mixture Acceptance
Acceptance of HMA shall be as provided under nonstatistical, or commercial evaluation.
Nonstatistical evaluation will be used for the acceptance of HMA unless Commercial
Evaluation is specified.
Commercial evaluation will be used for Commercial HMA and for other classes of HMA in the
following applications: sidewalks, road approaches, ditches, slopes, paths, trails, gores,
prelevel, temporary pavement, and pavement repair. Other nonstructural applications of HMA
accepted by commercial evaluation shall be as approved by the Engineer. Sampling and
testing of HMA accepted by commercial evaluation will be at the option of the Engineer.
The mix design will be the initial JMF for the class of HMA. The Contractor may request a
change in the JMF. Any adjustments to the JMF will require the approval of the Engineer and
may be made in accordance with this section.
HMA Tolerances and Adjustments
1. Job Mix Formula Tolerances – The constituents of the mixture at the time of
acceptance shall be within tolerance. The tolerance limits will be established as
follows:
For Asphalt Binder and Air Voids (Va), the acceptance limits are determined by
adding the tolerances below to the approved JMF values. These values will also
be the Upper Specification Limit (USL) and Lower Specification Limit (LSL)
required in Section 1-06.2(2)D2
Special Provisions SP-97
Williams Ave S & Wells Ave S Conversion Project December 2019
Property Non-Statistical Evaluation Commercial Evaluation
Asphalt Binder +/- 0.5% +/- 0.7%
Air Voids, Va 2.5% min. and 5.5% max N/A
For Aggregates in the mixture:
a. First, determine preliminary upper and lower acceptance limits by applying
the following tolerances to the approved JMF.
Aggregate Percent Passing Non-Statistical

b. Second, adjust the preliminary upper and lower acceptance limits
determined from step (a) the minimum amount necessary so that none of
the aggregate properties are outside the control points in Section 9-03.8(6).
The resulting values will be the upper and lower acceptance limits for
aggregates, as well as the USL and LSL required in Section 1-06.2(2)D2.
2. Job Mix Formula Adjustments – An adjustment to the aggregate gradation or asphalt
binder content of the JMF requires approval of the Engineer. Adjustments to the JMF
will only be considered if the change produces material of equal or better quality and
may require the development of a new mix design if the adjustment exceeds the
amounts listed below.
a. Aggregates –2 percent for the aggregate passing the 1½″, 1″, ¾″, ½″, ⅜″, and the
No. 4 sieves, 1 percent for aggregate passing the No. 8 sieve, and 0.5 percent for
the aggregate passing the No. 200 sieve. The adjusted JMF shall be within the
range of the control points in Section 9-03.8(6).
b. Asphalt Binder Content – The Engineer may order or approve changes to
asphalt binder content. The maximum adjustment from the approved mix design
for the asphalt binder content shall be 0.3 percent

5-04.3(9)B Vacant
5-04.3(9)C Mixture Acceptance – Nonstatistical Evaluation
HMA mixture which is accepted by Nonstatistical Evaluation will be evaluated by the
Contracting Agency by dividing the HMA tonnage into lots.
5-04.3(9)C1 Mixture Nonstatistical Evaluation – Lots and Sublots
A lot is represented by randomly selected samples of the same mix design that will be tested
for acceptance. A lot is defined as the total quantity of material or work produced for each Job
Special Provisions SP-98
Williams Ave S & Wells Ave S Conversion Project December 2019
Mix Formula placed. Only one lot per JMF is expected. A sublot shall be equal to one day’s
production or 800 tons, whichever is less except that the final sublot will be a minimum of 400
tons and may be increased to 1200 tons.
All of the test results obtained from the acceptance samples from a given lot shall be evaluated
collectively. If the Contractor requests a change to the JMF that is approved, the material
produced after the change will be evaluated on the basis of the new JMF for the remaining
sublots in the current lot and for acceptance of subsequent lots. For a lot in progress with a
CPF less than 0.75, a new lot will begin at the Contractor’s request after the Engineer is
satisfied that material conforming to the Specifications can be produced.
Sampling and testing for evaluation shall be performed on the frequency of one sample per
sublot.
5-04.3(9)C2 Mixture Nonstatistical Evaluation Sampling
Samples for acceptance testing shall be obtained by the Contractor when ordered by the
Engineer. The Contractor shall sample the HMA mixture in the presence of the Engineer and
in accordance with AASH-TO T 168. A minimum of three samples should be taken for each
class of HMA placed on a project. If used in a structural application, at least one of the three
samples shall to be tested.
Sampling and testing HMA in a Structural application where quantities are less than 400 tons
is at the discretion of the Engineer.
For HMA used in a structural application and with a total project quantity less than 800 tons
but more than 400 tons, a minimum of one acceptance test shall be performed. In all cases,
a minimum of 3 samples will be obtained at the point of acceptance, a minimum of one of the
three samples will be tested for conformance to the JMF:
If the test results are found to be within specification requirements, additional testing
will be at the Engineer’s discretion.
If test results are found not to be within specification requirements, additional testing of
the remaining samples to determine a Composite Pay Factor (CPF) shall be performed.
5-04.3(9)C3 Mixture Nonstatistical Evaluation – Acceptance Testing
Testing of HMA for compliance of Va will at the option of the Contracting Agency. If tested,
compliance of Va will use WSDOT SOP 731.
Testing for compliance of asphalt binder content will be by WSDOT FOP for AASHTO T 308.
Testing for compliance of gradation will be by FOP for WAQTC T 27/T 11.
5-04.3(9)C4 Mixture Nonstatistical Evaluation – Pay Factors
For each lot of material falling outside the tolerance limits in 5-04.3(9), the Contracting Agency
will determine a Composite Pay Factor (CPF) using the following price adjustment factors:

Each lot of HMA produced under Nonstatistical Evaluation and having all constituents falling
within the tolerance limits of the job mix formula shall be accepted at the unit Contract price
with no further evaluation. When one or more constituents fall outside the nonstatistical
tolerance limits in the Job Mix Formula shown in Table of Price Adjustment Factors, the lot
shall be evaluated in accordance with Section 1-06.2 to determine the appropriate CPF. The
nonstatistical tolerance limits will be used in the calculation of the CPF and the maximum CPF
shall be 1.00. When less than three sublots exist, backup samples of the existing sublots or
samples from the Roadway shall be tested to provide a minimum of three sets of results for
evaluation.
5-04.3(9)C5 Vacant
5-04.3(9)C6 Mixture Nonstatistical Evaluation – Price Adjustments
For each lot of HMA mix produced under Nonstatistical Evaluation when the calculated CPF
is less than 1.00, a Nonconforming Mix Factor (NCMF) will be determined. The NCMF equals
the algebraic difference of CPF minus 1.00 multiplied by 60 percent. The total job mix
compliance price adjustment will be calculated as the product of the NCMF, the quantity of
HMA in the lot in tons, and the unit Contract price per ton of mix.
If a constituent is not measured in accordance with these Specifications, its individual pay
factor will be considered 1.00 in calculating the Composite Pay Factor (CPF).
5-04.3(9)C7 Mixture Nonstatistical Evaluation – Retests
The Contractor may request a sublot be retested. To request a retest, the Contractor shall
submit a written request within 7 calendar days after the specific test results have been
received. A split of the original acceptance sample will be retested. The split of the sample will
not be tested with the same tester that ran the original acceptance test. The sample will be
tested for a complete gradation analysis, asphalt binder content, and, at the option of the
agency, Va. The results of the retest will be used for the acceptance of the HMA in place of
the original sublot sample test results. The cost of testing will be deducted from any monies
due or that may come due the Contractor under the Contract at the rate of $500 per sample.
5-04.3 (9)D Mixture Acceptance – Commercial Evaluation
Special Provisions SP-100
Williams Ave S & Wells Ave S Conversion Project December 2019
If sampled and tested, HMA produced under Commercial Evaluation and having all
constituents falling within the tolerance limits of the job mix formula shall be accepted at the
unit Contract price with no further evaluation. When one or more constituents fall outside the
commercial tolerance limits in the Job Mix Formula shown in 5-04.3(9), the lot shall be
evaluated in accordance with Section 1-06.2 to determine the appropriate CPF. The
commercial tolerance limits will be used in the calculation of the CPF and the maximum CPF
shall be 1.00. When less than three sublots exist, backup samples of the existing sublots or
samples from the street shall be tested to provide a minimum of three sets of results for
evaluation.
For each lot of HMA mix produced and tested under Commercial Evaluation when the
calculated CPF is less than 1.00, a Nonconforming Mix Factor (NCMF) will be determined.
The NCMF equals the algebraic difference of CPF minus 1.00 multiplied by 60 percent. The
Job Mix Compliance Price Adjustment will be calculated as the product of the NCMF, the
quantity of HMA in the lot in tons, and the unit Contract price per ton of mix.
If a constituent is not measured in accordance with these Specifications, its individual pay
factor will be considered 1.00 in calculating the Composite Pay Factor (CPF).
5-04.3(10) HMA Compaction Acceptance
HMA mixture accepted by nonstatistical evaluation that is used in traffic lanes, including lanes
for intersections, ramps, truck climbing, weaving, and speed change, and having a specified
compacted course thickness greater than 0.10-foot, shall be compacted to a specified level
of relative density. The specified level of relative density shall be a Composite Pay Factor
(CPF) of not less than 0.75 when evaluated in accordance with Section 1-06.2, using a LSL
of 92.0 (minimum of 92 percent of the maximum density). The maximum density shall be
determined by WSDOT FOP for AASHTO T 729. The specified level of density attained will
be determined by the evaluation of the density of the pavement. The density of the pavement
shall be determined in accordance with WSDOT FOP for WAQTC TM 8, except that gauge
correlation will be at the discretion of the Engineer, when using the nuclear density gauge and
WSDOT SOP 736 when using cores to determine density.
Tests for the determination of the pavement density will be taken in accordance with the
required procedures for measurement by a nuclear density gauge or roadway cores after
completion of the finish rolling.
If the Contracting Agency uses a nuclear density gauge to determine density the test
procedures FOP for WAQTC TM 8 and WSDOT SOP T 729 will be used on the day the mix
is placed and prior to opening to traffic.
Roadway cores for density may be obtained by either the Contracting Agency or the
Contractor in accordance with WSDOT SOP 734. The core diameter shall be 4-inches
minimum, unless otherwise approved by the Engineer. Roadway cores will be tested by the
Contracting Agency in accordance with WSDOT FOP for AASHTO T 166.
If the Contract includes the Bid item “Roadway Core” the cores shall be obtained by the
Contractor in the presence of the Engineer on the same day the mix is placed and at locations
designated by the Engineer. If the Contract does not include the Bid item “Roadway Core” the
Contracting Agency will obtain the cores.
Special Provisions SP-101
Williams Ave S & Wells Ave S Conversion Project December 2019
For a lot in progress with a CPF less than 0.75, a new lot will begin at the Contractor’s request
after the Engineer is satisfied that material conforming to the Specifications can be produced.
HMA mixture accepted by commercial evaluation and HMA constructed under conditions
other than those listed above shall be compacted on the basis of a test point evaluation of the
compaction train. The test point evaluation shall be performed in accordance with instructions
from the Engineer. The number of passes with an approved compaction train, required to
attain the maximum test point density, shall be used on all subsequent paving.
HMA for preleveling shall be thoroughly compacted. HMA that is used for preleveling wheel
rutting shall be compacted with a pneumatic tire roller unless otherwise approved by the
Engineer.
Test Results
For a sublot that has been tested with a nuclear density gauge that did not meet the minimum
of 92 percent of the reference maximum density in a compaction lot with a CPF below 1.00
and thus subject to a price reduction or rejection, the Contractor may request that a core be
used for determination of the relative density of the sublot. The relative density of the core will
replace the relative density determined by the nuclear density gauge for the sublot and will be
used for calculation of the CPF and acceptance of HMA compaction lot.
When cores are taken by the Contracting Agency at the request of the Contractor, they shall
be requested by noon of the next workday after the test results for the sublot have been
provided or made available to the Contractor. Core locations shall be outside of wheel paths
and as determined by the Engineer. Traffic control shall be provided by the Contractor as
requested by the Engineer. Failure by the Contractor to provide the requested traffic control
will result in forfeiture of the request for cores. When the CPF for the lot based on the results
of the HMA cores is less than 1.00, the cost for the coring will be deducted from any monies
due or that may become due the Contractor under the Contract at the rate of $200 per core
and the Contractor shall pay for the cost of the traffic control.
5-04.3(10)A HMA Compaction – General Compaction Requirements
Compaction shall take place when the mixture is in the proper condition so that no undue
displacement, cracking, or shoving occurs. Areas inaccessible to large compaction equipment
shall be compacted by other mechanical means. Any HMA that becomes loose, broken,
contaminated, shows an excess or deficiency of asphalt, or is in any way defective, shall be
removed and replaced with new hot mix that shall be immediately compacted to conform to
the surrounding area.
The type of rollers to be used and their relative position in the compaction sequence shall
generally be the Contractor’s option, provided the specified densities are attained. Unless the
Engineer has approved otherwise, rollers shall only be operated in the static mode when the
internal temperature of the mix is less than 175°F. Regardless of mix temperature, a roller
shall not be operated in a mode that results in checking or cracking of the mat. Rollers shall
only be operated in static mode on bridge decks.
5-04.3(10)B HMA Compaction – Cyclic Density
Special Provisions SP-102
Williams Ave S & Wells Ave S Conversion Project December 2019
Low cyclic density areas are defined as spots or streaks in the pavement that are less than
90 percent of the theoretical maximum density. At the Engineer’s discretion, the Engineer may
evaluate the HMA pavement for low cyclic density, and when doing so will follow WSDOT
SOP 733. A $500 Cyclic Density Price Adjustment will be assessed for any 500-foot section
with two or more density readings below 90 percent of the theoretical maximum density.

5-04.3(10)D HMA Nonstatistical Compaction
5-04.3(10)D1 HMA Nonstatistical Compaction – Lots and Sublots
HMA compaction which is accepted by nonstatistical evaluation will be based on acceptance
testing performed by the Contracting Agency dividing the project into compaction lots.
A lot is represented by randomly selected samples of the same mix design that will be tested
for acceptance. A lot is defined as the total quantity of material or work produced for each Job
Mix Formula placed. Only one lot per JMF is expected. A sublot shall be equal to one day’s
production or 400 tons, whichever is less except that the final sublot will be a minimum of 200
tons and may be increased to 800 tons. Testing for compaction will be at the rate of 5 tests
per sublot per WSDOT T 738.
The sublot locations within each density lot will be determined by the Engineer. For a lot in
progress with a CPF less than 0.75, a new lot will begin at the Contractor’s request after the
Engineer is satisfied that material conforming to the Specifications can be produced.
HMA mixture accepted by commercial evaluation and HMA constructed under conditions
other than those listed above shall be compacted on the basis of a test point evaluation of the
compaction train. The test point evaluation shall be performed in accordance with instructions
from the Engineer. The number of passes with an approved compaction train, required to
attain the maximum test point density, shall be used on all subsequent paving.
HMA for preleveling shall be thoroughly compacted. HMA that is used to prelevel wheel ruts
shall be compacted with a pneumatic tire roller unless otherwise approved by the Engineer.
5-04.3(10)D2 HMA Compaction Nonstatistical Evaluation – Acceptance Testing
The location of the HMA compaction acceptance tests will be randomly selected by the
Engineer from within each sublot, with one test per sublot.
5-04.3(10)D3 HMA Nonstatistical Compaction – Price Adjustments
For each compaction lot with one or two sublots, having all sublots attain a relative density
that is 92 percent of the reference maximum density the HMA shall be accepted at the unit
Contract price with no further evaluation. When a sublot does not attain a relative density that
is 92 percent of the reference maximum density, the lot shall be evaluated in accordance with
Section 1-06.2 to determine the appropriate CPF. The maximum CPF shall be 1.00, however,
lots with a calculated CPF in excess of 1.00 will be used to offset lots with CPF values below
1.00 but greater than 0.90. Lots with CPF lower than 0.90 will be evaluated for compliance
Special Provisions SP-103
Williams Ave S & Wells Ave S Conversion Project December 2019
per 5-04.3(11). Additional testing by either a nuclear moisture-density gauge or cores will be
completed as required to provide a minimum of three tests for evaluation.
For compaction below the required 92% a Non-Conforming Compaction Factor (NCCF) will
be determined. The NCCF equals the algebraic difference of CPF minus 1.00 multiplied by
40 percent. The Compaction Price Adjustment will be calculated as the product of CPF, the
quantity of HMA in the compaction control lot in tons, and the unit Contract price per ton of
mix.
5-04.3(11) Reject Work
5-04.3(11)A Reject Work General
Work that is defective or does not conform to Contract requirements shall be rejected. The
Contractor may propose, in writing, alternatives to removal and replacement of rejected
material. Acceptability of such alternative proposals will be determined at the sole discretion
of the Engineer. HMA that has been rejected is subject to the requirements in Section 1-
06.2(2) and this specification, and the Contractor shall submit a corrective action proposal to
the Engineer for approval.
5-04.3(11)B Rejection by Contractor
The Contractor may, prior to sampling, elect to remove any defective material and replace it
with new material. Any such new material will be sampled, tested, and evaluated for
acceptance.
5-04.3(11)C Rejection Without Testing (Mixture or Compaction)
The Engineer may, without sampling, reject any batch, load, or section of Roadway that
appears defective. Material rejected before placement shall not be incorporated into the
pavement. Any rejected section of Roadway shall be removed.
No payment will be made for the rejected materials or the removal of the materials unless the
Contractor requests that the rejected material be tested. If the Contractor elects to have the
rejected material tested, a minimum of three representative samples will be obtained and
tested. Acceptance of rejected material will be based on conformance with the nonstatistical
acceptance Specification. If the CPF for the rejected material is less than 0.75, no payment
will be made for the rejected material; in addition, the cost of sampling and testing shall be
borne by the Contractor. If the CPF is greater than or equal to 0.75, the cost of sampling and
testing will be borne by the Contracting Agency. If the material is rejected before placement
and the CPF is greater than or equal to 0.75, compensation for the rejected material will be at
a CPF of 0.75. If rejection occurs after placement and the CPF is greater than or equal to
0.75, compensation for the rejected material will be at the calculated CPF with an addition of
25 percent of the unit Contract price added for the cost of removal and disposal.
5-04.3(11)D Rejection - A Partial Sublot
In addition to the random acceptance sampling and testing, the Engineer may also isolate
from a normal sublot any material that is suspected of being defective in relative density,
gradation or asphalt binder content. Such isolated material will not include an original sample
location. A minimum of three random samples of the suspect material will be obtained and

replaced up to but not to exceed 2 inches of the finished pavement surface. On the day
following placement of the concrete, the edge of the asphalt concrete pavement, and the outer
edge of the casting shall be painted with hot asphalt cement. Asphalt Class G concrete shall
then be placed and compacted with hand tampers and a patching roller. The complete patch
shall match the existing paved surface for texture, density, and uniformity of grade. The joint
between the patch and the existing pavement shall then be carefully painted with hot asphalt
cement or asphalt emulsion and shall be immediately covered with dry paving sand before
the asphalt cement solidifies. The inside throat of the manhole shall be thoroughly mortared
and plastered.
Adjustment of inlets: The final alignment and grade of cast iron frames for new and old inlets
to be adjusted to grade will be established from the forms or adjacent pavement surfaces. The
final adjustment of the top of the inlet will be performed in similar manner to the above for
manholes. On asphalt concrete paving projects using curb and gutter section, that portion of
the cast iron frame not embedded in the gutter section shall be solidly embedded in concrete
also. The concrete shall extend a minimum of six inches beyond the edge of the casting and
shall be left 2 inches below the top of the frame so that the wearing course of asphalt concrete
pavement will butt the cast iron frame. The existing concrete pavement and edge of the
casting shall be painted with hot asphalt cement. Adjustments in the inlet structure shall be
constructed in the same manner and of the same material as that required for new inlets. The
inside of the inlets shall be mortared and plastered.
Monuments and cast iron frame and cover: monuments and monument castings shall be
adjusted to grade in the same manner as for manholes.
Valve box castings: adjustments of valve box castings shall be made in the same manner as

7-21.3 Construction Requirements
7-21.3(1) Preparation
The Contractor shall make all necessary provisions to ensure service conditions and structural
conditions of host pipe are suitable for installation and warranty of the liner. The Contractor shall
verify the lengths in the field prior to ordering and prior to impregnation of the tube with resin, to
ensure that the tube will have sufficient length to extend the entire length of the run. The
Contractor shall also measure the inside diameter of the existing pipelines in the field prior to
ordering liner so that the liner can be installed in a tight-fitted condition.
7-21.3(1)A Flow Management
It shall be the Contractor's responsibility to maintain operation of the existing sewer systems
throughout the duration of the project without any interruption of sewer service. The Contractor
shall divert all flows around each segment of the pipe designated for rehabilitation. This diversion
shall consist of redirecting flow from an upstream manhole and discharging it to a manhole
downstream of the rehabilitation operation. This can be accomplished via a combination of
pumping and/or gravity flow. After the work is completed, flow shall be returned to the
rehabilitated sewer system. The area affected by the bypass operation shall be fully restored.
Bypass pumping shall be scheduled for continuous operation. Back-up equipment shall be on-
site and available for periods of maintenance, refueling or failure of the primary bypass pump(s)
or diversion system. Bypass pumping shall be done in such a manner as not to damage private
or public property, or create a nuisance or public menace. The bypass-pumping pipe shall not
block any driveways or intersections unless approved by the Engineer. The sewage shall be
pumped through a watertight hose or pipe that is adequately protected from traffic. The discharge
of raw sewage to private property, city streets, sidewalks, storm sewer, or any location other than
an approved sanitary sewer is prohibited. The Contractor shall be liable for all cleanup, damages,
and resultant fines should the Contractor's operation cause any backups or overflows.
The Contractor's bypass operation shall be sized to handle, at a minimum, the full pipe capacity
in each subject line removed from service. If flow conditions are greater than full pipe, the
Contractor may elect to wait for flow conditions to subside prior to removing the subject line from
service. Working days will not be charged for the period of time during which the flow is greater
than full pipe. No additional payment will be made for periods of high flows during which the
Contractor elects to wait for lower flows. Once the Contractor removes a section of line from
service he/she is responsible to bypass any and all flow in the system during construction, even
in the event the system surcharges and exceeds the full pipe capacity, until the line is returned to
service.
All bypassing systems shall be approved by the Engineer. A plan for bypassing the existing sewer
system shall be submitted by the Contractor for review. The Contractor's plan for bypass pumping
shall be satisfactory to the Owner before the Contractor will be allowed to commence bypass
pumping. The sewage bypass pumping plan shall include an emergency response plan to be
followed in the event of a failure of the bypass pumping. The review of the bypassing system and
equipment by the Engineer shall in no way relieve the Contractor of his responsibility and public
liability.
Special Provisions SP-163
Williams Ave S & Wells Ave S Conversion Project December 2019
The Contractor shall coordinate activities with impacted property owners. Property Owners shall
be notified that their side sewer will be out of service for a specified period of time, as approved
by the Engineer.
When there exist situations where impacted properties cannot be disconnected, plugged, or
subjected to any other service interruption, i.e., hospitals, care facilities, restaurants, etc., bypass
pumping of the side sewer to the downstream sanitary sewer system shall be required prior to
insertion of the liner system. The Contractor shall verify whether a property is able to be
interrupted prior to lining operations. If the subject property’s side sewer requires bypass
pumping, the costs for the bypass pumping shall be covered by Force Account.

shall be completed before shaft construction begins. After shaft construction is completed, all
loose or displaced materials shall be removed from around the shafts, leaving a clean solid
surface to receive the footing concrete.
Shaft Excavation
1. Shafts shall be excavated to the required depth as shown in the Plans or as required by
the Engineer. The excavation shall be completed in a continuous operation using
equipment capable of excavating through the type of material expected to be encountered.
The concrete shall be placed within two hours after the completion of shaft excavation and
cleanout without any undue delay.
2. If the shaft excavation is stopped with the approval of the Engineer, the shaft shall be
secured by the installation of a safety cover. It shall be the Contractor's responsibility to
ensure the safety of the shaft and the surrounding soil and the stability of the sidewalls. A
temporary casing should be used if necessary, to ensure such safety and stability.
3. Where caving conditions are encountered, due to soft soils or water intrusion, no further
excavation will be allowed until the Contractor selects a method to prevent ground
movement. The Contractor may elect to place a temporary casing or use other methods
approved by the Engineer.
4. The Contractor shall use appropriate means such as a clean-out bucket, to clean the
bottom of the excavation such that a minimum of 50 percent of the base of each shaft will
have less than 1inch of sediment at the time of placement of the concrete. The maximum
depth of sediment or any debris at any place on the base of the shaft shall not exceed 2
inches.
5. If unexpected obstructions, which require specialized equipment and/or labor are
encountered, the Contractor shall notify the Engineer promptly. Excavation shall be
continued as approved by the Engineer.

4. The excavated shaft shall be approved by the Engineer prior to placing any steel or
concrete into the shaft.
Reinforcing Steel Cage Construction and Placement
1. The reinforcing steel cage consisting of longitudinal bars, ties, cage stiffener bars, spacers,
centralizers, and other necessary appurtenances shall be completely assembled and
placed as a unit immediately after the shaft excavation is inspected and accepted prior to
concrete placement. The reinforcing cage shall be rigidly braced to retain its configuration
during handling and when lowered into the shaft, during placement of concrete and
extraction of the casing from the shaft. No loose bars will be permitted. The reinforcing steel
fabricator shall include bracing and any extra reinforcing steel required to fabricate the cage
in the shop drawings.
2. If the bottom of the constructed shaft elevation is lower than the bottom of the shaft
elevation in the Plans, a minimum of one half of the longitudinal bars required in the upper
portion of the shaft shall be extended the additional length. Tie bars shall be continued for
the extra depth, spaced on 1 feet centers, and the stiffener bars shall be extended to the
final depth. These bars may be lap spliced, or un-spliced bars of the proper length may be
used. Welding to the planned reinforcing steel will not be permitted unless specifically
shown in either the Plans or Special Provisions.
3. The reinforcing steel in the shaft shall be tied and supported so that the reinforcing steel
will remain within allowable tolerances given in this specification. Concrete spacers or other
approved non-corrosive spacing devices shall be used at sufficient intervals (near the
bottom and at intervals not exceeding 5 feet up the shaft) to insure concentric spacing for
the entire cage length. Spacers shall be constructed of approved material equal in quality
and durability to the concrete specified for the shaft.
4. The elevation of the top of the steel cage shall be checked before and after the concrete is
placed. If the rebar cage is not maintained within the specified tolerances, corrections shall
be made by the Contractor as required by the Engineer. No additional shafts shall be
constructed until the Contractor has modified his rebar cage support in a manner
satisfactory to the Engineer.
Concrete Placement
Concrete placement shall commence within two (2) hours after completion of the excavation
and shall be placed in one continuous operation to the top of the shaft. Concrete shall be placed
through a tremie. The tremie used shall consist of a tube of one-piece construction. Concrete
shall be placed through a hopper at the top of the tube so that the concrete is deposited through
the center of the reinforcing steel to prevent segregation of the aggregates and splashing of
concrete on the reinforcement cage. The Contractor's proposed method for depositing
concrete shall have approval of the Engineer prior to concrete placement. The concrete on the
top 5 feet of the shaft shall be vibrated.
Casing Removal
During casing removal, a minimum 5 foot head of concrete must be maintained to balance the
soil and water pressure at the bottom of the casing. This casing shall be well coated with form
oil prior to concrete placement.
Construction Tolerances

1/2 inch above and no more than 1/2 inch below the Plan position.
4. The minimum diameter of the drilled shaft shall be 1inch less than the specified shaft
diameter.
5. The top elevation of the shaft shall have a tolerance of ±1/2 inch from the Plan top of shaft
elevation.
6. Excavation equipment and methods shall be designed so that the completed shaft
excavation will have a flat bottom. The cutting edges of excavation equipment shall be
normal to the vertical axis of the equipment within a tolerance of± 3/8 inch per 12 inches of
diameter.
Drilled shaft excavations constructed in such a manner that the concrete shaft cannot be
completed within the required tolerances are unacceptable. When approved, corrections may
be made to an unacceptable drilled shaft excavation by any approved combination of the
following methods:
1. Overdrill the shaft excavation to a larger diameter to permit accurate placement of the
reinforcing steel cage with the required minimum concrete cover.
2. Increase the number and/or size of the steel reinforcement bars.
The approval of the correction procedures is dependent on analysis of the effect of the degree
of misalignment and improper positioning. Correction methods may be approved as design
analysis indicate. Redesign drawings and computations prepared by the Contractor's Engineer
shall be signed by a Professional Engineer licensed in the State of Washington. Materials •and
work necessary, including Engineering analysis and redesign, to effect corrections for out of
tolerance drilled shaft excavations shall be furnished at no cost to the Contracting Agency.
Submittals
1. Before placing the reinforcing steel, the Contractor shall submit shop drawings to the
Engineer for the reinforcing cage.
2. Work shall not proceed until the appropriate submittals have been approved in writing by
the Engineer.

Note: Executive Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave
for Federal Contractors applies to all contracts subject to the
Davis-Bacon Act for which the contract is awarded (and any
solicitation was issued) on or after January 1, 2017. If this
contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide
employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours
they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year.
Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their
own illness, injury or other health-related needs, including
preventive care; to assist a family member (or person who is
like family to the employee) who is ill, injured, or has other
health-related needs, including preventive care; or for reasons
resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is

Page | 47

WA190001 Modification 17
Federal Wage Determinations for Highway Construction
The body of each wage determination lists the classification
and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the
cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage
determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical
order of ""identifiers"" that indicate whether the particular
rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate for local),
a survey rate (weighted average rate) or a union average rate
(weighted union average rate).
Union Rate Identifiers
A four letter classification abbreviation identifier enclosed
in dotted lines beginning with characters other than ""SU"" or
""UAVG"" denotes that the union classification and rate were
prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example:
PLUM0198-005 07/01/2014. PLUM is an abbreviation identifier of
the union which prevailed in the survey for this
classification, which in this example would be Plumbers. 0198
indicates the local union number or district council number
where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number,
005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing
the wage determination. 07/01/2014 is the effective date of the
most current negotiated rate, which in this example is July 1,
2014.
Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all rate
changes in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing
this classification and rate.
Survey Rate Identifiers
Classifications listed under the ""SU"" identifier indicate that
no one rate prevailed for this classification in the survey and
the published rate is derived by computing a weighted average
rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that
classification. As this weighted average rate includes all
rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and
non-union rates. Example: SULA2012-007 5/13/2014. SU indicates
the rates are survey rates based on a weighted average
calculation of rates and are not majority rates. LA indicates
the State of Louisiana. 2012 is the year of survey on which
these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007
in the example, is an internal number used in producing the
wage determination. 5/13/2014 indicates the survey completion
date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.
Survey wage rates are not updated and remain in effect until a
new survey is conducted.
Page | 48
48 | Page
WA190001 Modification 17
Federal Wage Determinations for Highway Construction
Union Average Rate Identifiers
Classification(s) listed under the UAVG identifier indicate
that no single majority rate prevailed for those
classifications; however, 100% of the data reported for the
classifications was union data. EXAMPLE: UAVG-OH-0010
08/29/2014. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union
average rate. OH indicates the state. The next number, 0010 in
the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage
determination. 08/29/2014 indicates the survey completion date
for the classifications and rates under that identifier.
A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January of
each year, to reflect a weighted average of the current
negotiated/CBA rate of the union locals from which the rate is
based.
----------------------------------------------------------------
WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS
1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can
be:
* an existing published wage determination
* a survey underlying a wage determination
* a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on
a wage determination matter
* a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling
On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests
for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour
Regional Office for the area in which the survey was conducted
because those Regional Offices have responsibility for the
Davis-Bacon survey program. If the response from this initial
contact is not satisfactory, then the process described in 2.)
and 3.) should be followed.
With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal
process described here, initial contact should be with the
Branch of Construction Wage Determinations. Write to:

2.) If the answer to the question in 1.) is yes, then an
interested party (those affected by the action) can request
review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator
(See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7). Write to:

DRAIN INLETS DOWNSLOPE AND WITHIN 500 FEET OF A DISTURBED OR CONSTRUCTION AREA, UNLESS THE RUNOFF THAT ENTERS THE INLET WILL BE CONVEYED
TO A SEDIMENT POND OR TRAP. ALL CATCH BASIN INSERTS SHALL BE PERIODICALLY INSPECTED AND REPLACED AS NECESSARY TO ENSURE FULLY FUNCTIONING
CONDITION.
17.AT NO TIME SHALL SEDIMENT ACCUMULATION EXCEED 2/3 OF THE CAPACITY OF THE CATCH BASIN SUMP. ALL CATCH BASINS AND CONVEYANCE LINES SHALL BE
CLEANED PRIOR TO PAVING. THE CLEANING OPERATION SHALL NOT FLUSH SEDIMENT-LADEN WATER INTO THE DOWNSTREAM SYSTEM.
18.ANY PERMANENT STORMWATER FACILITY LOCATION USED AS A TEMPORARY SETTLING BASIN SHALL BE MODIFIED WITH THE NECESSARY ESC BMPS AND SHALL
PROVIDE ADEQUATE STORAGE CAPACITY. IF THE TEMPORARY FACILITY IS TO ULTIMATELY FUNCTION AS AN INFILTRATION SYSTEM IN ITS PERMANENT STATE, THE
TEMPORARY FACILITY SHALL BE ROUGH GRADED SO THAT THE BOTTOM AND SIDES ARE AT LEAST THREE FEET ABOVE THE FINAL GRADE OF THE PERMANENT
FACILITY.
19.AREAS DESIGNATED ON THE PLAN(S) CONTAINING EXISTING STORMWATER FACILITIES OR ON-SITE BMPS (AMENDED SOILS, BIORETENTION, PERMEABLE PAVEMENT,
ETC.) SHALL BE CLEARLY FENCED AND PROTECTED USING ESC BMPS TO AVOID SEDIMENTATION AND COMPACTION DURING CONSTRUCTION.
20.PRIOR TO THE BEGINNING OF THE WET SEASON (OCTOBER 1ST), ALL DISTURBED AREAS SHALL BE INSPECTED TO IDENTIFY WHICH ONES SHALL BE SODDED OR
SEEDED IN PREPARATION FOR THE WINTER RAINS. DISTURBED AREAS SHALL BE SODDED OR SEEDED WITHIN ONE WEEK OF THE BEGINNING OF THE WET SEASON.

Where shown on the plans or in the specifications or required by
the Engineer, joint restraint system (shackle rods) shall be used.
All joints restraint materials used shall be those manufactured by
Star National Products, 1323 Holly Avenue, PO Box 258,
Columbus,. Ohio 43216 unless an equal alternate is approved in
writing by the Engineer.
Materials
Steel Types:
High strength low—alloy steel (cor—ten),
ASTM A588 heat—treated.
1. Tebolt:
ASTM A588, Grade B, Cor—Ten, equal to SuperStar Tielbolt
SST 7 5/8" for 2" and 3" mechanical joints (M.J.) with eye for 5/8" rod
SST 7 3/4" for 4" to 12" M.J. with eye for 3/4" rod
SST 756: 3/4" for 14" to 24" M.J. with eye for 3/4" rod
SST 747: 3/4" for 4" to 12" M.J. with eye for 7/8" and 1" rod
SST 757: 3/4" for 14" to 24" M.J. with eye for 7/8" and 1" rod
SST 778: 1" for 30" to 36" M.J. with eye for 1" rod
2.Tienut: Hex Nut
ASTM A588, Grade B, Cor—Ten, equal to SuperStar Tienut
SS8 for 5/8", 3/4", 7/8", 1" Tiebolt and Tierod
3.Tiecoupling with Tiestop Pin
ASTM A588, Grade B, Cor—Ten, equal to SuperStar Tiecoupling
SS10 for 5/8", 3/4", 7/8", 1" Tierod
4. Tierod:
Continuous threaded rod for cutting to desired lengths
ASTM A588, Grade B, Cor—Ten, equal to SuperStar Tierod
SS12 for 5/8", 3/4", 7/8", 1"
5. Tiewasher
ASTM A588, Grade B, Cor—Ten, equal to SuperStar Tiewasher
SS17 for 5/8", 3/4", 7/8", 1" round flat washer
Installation:
Install the joint restraint system in accordance with the Manufacturer's
instructions so all joints are mechanically locked together to prevent joint
separation.
Tiebolts shall be installed to pull against the mechanical joint body and
not the M.J. follower. Torque nuts at 75-90 foot pounds for 3/4" nuts.
Install tiecouplings with both rods threaded equal distance into
tiecouplings. Arrange tierods symmetrically around the pipe.
Where a Manufacturer's mechanical joint valve or fitting is supplied with
slots for "T" bolts instead of holes, a flanged valve with a flange by
mechanical joint adaptor shall be used instead, so as to provide adequate
space for locating tiebolt.
Where a continuous run of pipe is required to be restrained, no run of
restrained pipe shall be greater than 60 feet in length betwee fittings.
Insert long body solid sleeves as required on longer runs to keep tierod
lengths to the 60 foot maximum.
Pipe used in continuously restrained runs shall be mechanical joint pipe
and tiebolts shall be installed as rod guides at each joint.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Renton is considering two-way street conversion and intersection improvements for
segments of Williams Ave S and Wells Ave S, from South 2nd Street to South 3rd Street in Renton,
Washington. This report provides an assessment of existing pavement conditions, subgrade soil, and
preliminary geotechnical recommendations for designing signal pole foundations.
Project Description: The project primary goal is to convert Williams Ave S and Wells Ave S from one-
way to two-way streets. Major intersection improvements are planned where these roadways cross
South 2nd and 3rd Streets. New Portland cement concrete pavement will be used at the intersections
and new signal poles will be installed. Other pedestrian and bicycle improvements are planned.
Explorations: Ten soil borings, ranging in depth from 21.5 to 26.5 feet below ground surface, were
drilled along the alignment to evaluate the pavement, subgrade and subsurface conditions for
geotechnical design of pavement and pole foundations.
Pavement Conditions: In general, the pavement along Williams Ave S and Wells Ave S is in good
condition between South 2nd Street and South 3rd Street, except within the intersections, where
shallow rutting is observed in the direction of South 2nd Street and South 3rd Street. These lanes
generally consist of a composite section of 3 to 9 inches of Portland cement concrete (PCC)
pavement, overlain with asphalt pavement. Brick paving was encountered beneath PCC pavement in
explorations AM-8, AM-9, and AM-10. In some areas, PCC is absent, and the pavement sections
consists of only asphalt.
Soil Conditions: In general, subgrade soils beneath the pavement includes medium dense, silty sand
with gravel that appears to be fill placed during roadway grading (Fill). Below the roadway fill, native
soils varied but tended to consist of loose silty sand (Alluvium).
Groundwater Conditions: At the time of drilling, we encountered groundwater in all borings at depths
between 14 and 18.5 feet below the ground surface. Because our explorations were performed during
an extended period of generally wet weather, these observed groundwater conditions may closely
represent the seasonal high levels.
Pavement Design Recommendations: For the intersection reconstruction, we recommend the
following rigid pavement section:
Amec Foster Wheeler
ii Project No. PS17191350
5 inches crushed rock base course (CRB).
If pavement needs to be replaced along the streets outside of the intersections, we recommend a
flexible pavement section of:
7 inches HMA, over
6 inches CRB.
Signal Pole Foundations: Signal pole structures are designed in accordance with Washington State
Department of Transportation (WSDOT) Standard Foundations, based on correlations provided in
Chapter 17 of the Geotechnical Design Manual (WSDOT, 2010). The site soil conditions consist of
very soft profile and WSDOT Standard Plan J-26.10-03 does not provide design recommendations for
the lower range of “Very Soft” soils, an allowable lateral bearing pressure below 1,000 psf. Therefore,
a non-standard foundation design is provided for design of signal pole foundations. Specific design
recommendations for the proposed signal pole foundation locations are discussed in Section 5 of this
report.

GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING REPORT
Williams Ave S and Wells Ave S Conversion Project
Renton, Washington
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Amec Foster Wheeler Environment & Infrastructure, Inc. (Amec Foster Wheeler), prepared this
Geotechnical Engineering Report for the proposed conversion and improvements of Williams Ave S
and Wells Ave S Conversion Project, between South 2nd Street and South 3rd Street within the city
limits of Renton, Washington, as shown on Figure 1. This Report presents a summary of subsurface
conditions, existing pavement conditions, and geotechnical engineering recommendations for the
planned improvements.
1.1 Project Background
The Williams Ave S and Wells Ave S Conversion Project currently consists of one-way streets, each
configured with two lanes and on street parking with curb, gutter, and sidewalk. Both Williams Ave S
and Wells Ave S existing roadway consists of an original four-lane roadway surfaced with Portland
cement concrete (PCC) pavement, which has been overlain with multiple hot-mix asphalt (HMA)
overlays. A concrete planter currently occupies a portion of the right-most and the left-most lane of
both subject avenues at the South 3rd Street intersections. South 2nd Street is a four-lane street and
South 3rd Street is a two lane street with on street parking.
1.2 Exploratory Methods
The specific number, locations, and depths of our explorations were selected by Amec Foster
Wheeler, with assistance and input from the City of Renton and KPG. These locations were then field-
adjusted in relation to the existing and proposed site features, under the constraints of surface
access, underground utility locations, and budget considerations. We estimated the relative location of
each exploration by measuring from existing features and scaling these measurements onto a layout
plan supplied to us, then we estimated their elevations by interpolating between contour lines shown
on this same plan. Consequently, the data listed in Table 1 and the locations depicted on Figure 2 and
Figures 2A through 2D should be considered accurate only to the degree permitted by our data
sources and implied by our measuring methods.

2 Project No. PS17191350
Amec Foster Wheeler explored surface and subsurface conditions at the project site between
January 23 and January 26, 2018. The exploration and testing program consisted of the following
elements:
Visual surface reconnaissance of the site;
Ten borings designated AM-1 through AM-10;
Laboratory testing performed on selected soil samples to determine index and engineering
properties for geotechnical engineering purposes; and
Review of published geologic maps and literature.
Table 1 summarizes the approximate locations, surface elevations, and termination depths of our
subsurface explorations, and Figures 2A through 2D depict their approximate locations. Detailed
exploration logs are included in Appendix A. Laboratory testing results are attached in Appendix B.

2.0 SITE CONDITIONS
The following sections present our observations, measurements, findings, and interpretations
regarding conditions of the existing pavement and underlying subgrade soils for the evaluated
segments of Williams Ave S and Wells Ave S Conversion Project.

2.1 Pavement Conditions
In general, the pavement along Williams Avenue S and Wells Avenue S is in good condition between
South 2nd Street and South 3rd Street except at the intersections, where shallow rutting is observed
in the direction of South 2nd Street and South 3rd Street. This rutting likely has resulted from higher
traffic volumes along South 2nd Street and South 3rd Street.
Amec Foster Wheeler observed minor longitudinal cracking along Wells Avenue South and Williams
Avenue South. These segments also consist of more recent asphalt patching with sealed edges. The
pavement section on Wells Avenue South between South 2nd Street and South Riverside Drive is in a
similar condition, with more distinct longitudinal cracking between the center-most two lanes and the
outer-most left and right lanes, likely a result of reflected PCC panel joints between the lanes. Few
cracks were observed within panels, which seems to indicate the panels are mostly intact. In general,
the asphalt surface was in good condition over the concrete panels.
Pavement cores were evaluated during the subsurface investigation to determine the thickness of the
existing pavement sections, which helped determine the strength of the existing pavement. Pavement
coring was performed during our subsurface exploration program conducted between January 23 and
January 26, 2018. The approximate locations of the pavement cores are shown on Figures 2A
through 2D. Table 2 summarizes the measurements of pavement thickness and subgrade
observations recorded at each exploration location.

2.2 Soil Conditions
According to published geologic maps (Mullineaux, 1965), soil conditions in the site vicinity are
characterized by the following units:
Artificial fill; and
Holocene-aged alluvium.
The exploration logs in Appendix A provide a detailed description of the soil strata encountered in our
subsurface explorations. In general, our explorations encountered the existing roadway pavement
sections described in Section 2.1.2, underlain by silty sand fill or Holocene alluvium. Borings AM-2
and AM-9 encountered 3 and 4 feet of fill, respectively, consisting of loose to medium dense silty
sand. In general, the Holocene alluvium consists of very loose to loose silty sand. A medium dense to
dense layer of sandy gravel was encountered between 15 and 19 feet below ground surface.
Geotechnical laboratory tests revealed that the alluvial soils are silty sands. We interpret these soils to
be currently near or above their optimum moisture contents, and to be moderately to highly sensitive
to variations in moisture content. The laboratory testing sheets in Appendix B graphically illustrate the
test results, and Table 3 summarizes these results.

2.3 Groundwater Conditions
At the time of drilling (January 23 to January 26, 2018), we encountered groundwater in all borings at
depths between 14 and 18.5 feet below the ground surface. Depth to groundwater at time of drilling is
shown on the boring logs enclosed in Appendix A. Groundwater observation wells were not installed
in the borings.
Because our explorations were performed during an extended period of generally wet weather, these
observed groundwater conditions may closely represent the seasonal high levels; lower groundwater
levels would be expected during drier summer and fall months. At all times of year, groundwater
levels would likely fluctuate in response to changes in precipitation, influence from the existing storm
drainage system, construction activities, and site utilization.

3.0 PAVEMENT DESIGN
The pavement design recommendations presented in this report are based on the procedures
outlined by the Washington State Department of Transportation’s WSDOT Pavement Policy (WSDOT,
2015a), which incorporate the design standards and methods detailed in the 1993 AASHTO Guide for
Design of Pavement Structures by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation
Officials (AASHTO, 1993). Specific design parameters, correlation of soil quality, and equivalent
single axle load (ESAL) determination described in the WSDOT Pavement Guide Interactive
(WSDOT, 2003) were used as applicable.
3.1 Soil Subgrade Design Values
Soil design values for subgrade conditions were determined based on visual classification, laboratory
testing, and guidance provided in the WSDOT Pavement Policy (WSDOT, 2015a). Four samples were
tested for California bearing ratio (CBR), which can be correlated to a subgrade modulus value.
Table 4 gives CBR test results and subgrade modulus values for subgrade soils. Using the WSDOT
methodology, most of the subgrade soils are of average quality.

3.2 Traffic Design Values
Traffic data were provided by KPG. We combined average daily traffic (ADT) of intersecting streets to
determine ADT of each subject intersection. The traffic volume for the most utilized traffic
intersections (Williams Avenue South and South 3rd Street/South 2nd Street) is summarized in
Table 5. We recommend using the equivalent traffic volumes for design of the Wells Avenue South
and South 3rd Street/South 2nd Street intersections.

3.3 Pavement Structure Design
To determine the structural strength needed for a pavement, the design traffic volumes represented
as ESALs, the soil subgrade condition, and pavement design life are assessed to determine the
structural number (SN). Table 6 summarizes the required structural number for the design of the
intersections, Wells Avenue South, and Williams Avenue South.
Drainage: Local drainage characteristics of proposed pavement areas are considered fair. As
recommended in the WSDOT Pavement Policy (WSDOT, 2015a), a design drainage coefficient of 1.0
was used when applying the AASHTO (1993) criteria for design.
Serviceability and Reliability: For rigid pavement design of the intersections, initial and terminal
serviceability indices of 4.5 and 3, respectively, were used, resulting in a change in serviceability
index of 1.5. A reliability value of 85 percent was used, in accordance with the AASHTO (1993)
criteria for design.

3.4 Recommended Pavement Thickness
We understand that the project design intends to create raised, PCC intersections consisting of:
10 inches PCC, over
5 inches CRB.
Based on the above soil subgrade properties, design traffic, drainage, service/reliability, we
determined this section would be suitable for a 50-year design life.
We understand that the project design plans to use flexible pavement as needed within street
segments outside of the intersections. The preferred section consists of:
7 inches HMA, over
6 inches CRB.
Based on the above soil subgrade properties, design traffic, drainage, service/reliability, we
determined this section would be suitable for a 50-year design life (with maintenance and periodic
overlays).
If the surface of the pavement needs to be improved, we recommend grinding off the surface asphalt
as necessary and replacing with a 2-inch HMA overlay.
4.0 STORMWATER INFILTRATION
The entire project site is within Zone 1 of an Aquifer Protection Area. Therefore, according to the 2017
City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual, Chapter 1.3.6, infiltration facilities are prohibited.
5.0 SIGNAL POLE FOUNDATIONS
New signal pole structures are designed in accordance with Washington State Department of
Transportation (WSDOT) Standard Foundations, based on correlations provided in Chapter 17 of the
Geotechnical Design Manual (WSDOT, 2010).
Subsurface Soils:
The site soil conditions encountered consists of very soft profile and WSDOT Standard Plan
J-26.10-03 does not provide design recommendations for the lower range of “Very Soft” soils, an
allowable lateral bearing pressure below 1,000 psf. Therefore, a non-standard foundation design is
required for design of signal pole foundations.
Amec Foster Wheeler
Project No. PS17191350 9
Allowable Lateral Bearing Pressures:
Signal pole shaft foundation can be designed for an allowable lateral bearing pressure and a soil-to-
foundation contact friction angle summarized in Table 7, based on correlations provided in Chapter 17
of the WSDOT GDM. Shaft foundation designs for the proposed signal pole foundation locations are
enclosed as Figure 3.
In general, the signal pole shaft foundation designs are deeper than typical to accommodate axial
structural loading and to account for subsurface conditions. The drilled shafts have been extended
down to bear within dense soil. If any soft organic soils are encountered at the bottom of the pole
foundations, the contractor should continue drilling to bearing soils beneath any localized zones of
soft or organic soils.

Drilled Shaft Construction Considerations:
In general, we anticipate most of the drilled shaft signal pole foundations are going to extend below
ground water table. Therefore, we anticipate these two shafts be constructed using a combination of
cased and wet construction methods as described in FHWA-NHI-10-016, Drilled Shaft Construction
Procedures. This method would involve advancing temporary casing to design drilled shaft tip
elevation during drilled shaft excavation. Water or drilling slurry should be added inside of the casing
when ground water table is reached and maintained typically 5 to 10 feet above the observed ground
water table to create a positive pressure on the shaft bottom during excavation. The casing should be
advanced ahead of shaft drilling. This combination method should mitigate bottom heaving during
shaft excavation and prevent shaft sidewall caving. When design shaft depth is reached, the shaft
bottom would be cleaned using a flat bottom cleanout bucket at provide firm shaft bottom prior to
reinforcement installation. At all times, water head inside of the casing should be maintained to
prevent bottom heaving. Concrete placement should be achieved using a tremie pour method which
delivers concrete to the bottom of the shaft and displaces drilling fluid (water of slurry) upward. Drilling
fluid is pumped out of the shaft during concrete placement. Concrete placement continues through the
tremie while always keeping the tremie embedded into the fresh concrete so that concrete does not
mix with the drilling fluid.
Signal Poles and Underground Utilities:
Due to the proximity of existing underground and overhead utilities to the proposed signal poles,
careful utility locating will be required before the foundations are installed. This may require hand or
vacuum excavating the upper portion of each foundation hole in order to minimize the risk of
damaging underground utilities during construction.
6.0 LIMITATIONS
This report has been prepared for the exclusive use of KPG, the City of Renton, and their consultants
for specific application to this project, in accordance with generally accepted geotechnical engineering
practice. The preliminary conclusions, recommendations, and opinions presented in this report are
based, in part, on the explorations Amec Foster Wheeler performed and used for this study and on
information provided for the proposed project. Geotechnical information obtained from borings
represents conditions at specific locations at the time of the explorations and may not reflect
conditions at other locations. If variations in subgrade conditions are observed at a later time,
additional explorations may be needed, and we may need to modify this report to reflect those
changes.

APPENDIX A
Subsurface Exploration Procedures and Results
Project No. PS17-19135-0
The following paragraphs describe procedures associated with the field explorations and field tests
Amec Foster Wheeler Environment & Infrastructure, Inc. (Amec Foster Wheeler), conducted for this
project. Descriptive logs of our explorations are enclosed in this appendix.
AUGER BORING PROCEDURES
Our exploratory borings were advanced with a hollow-stem auger, using a truck-mounted drill rig
operated by an independent drilling firm working under subcontract to Amec Foster Wheeler. A
geologist from Amec Foster Wheeler continuously observed the borings, logged the subsurface
conditions, and collected representative soil samples. All samples were stored in watertight containers
and later transported to a geotechnical laboratory for further visual examination and testing. After
each boring was completed, the borehole was backfilled with a mixture of bentonite chips and soil
cuttings, and the surface was patched with asphalt or concrete (where appropriate).
Throughout the drilling operation, soil samples were obtained at 5-foot depth intervals by means of the
Standard Penetration Test (SPT) per American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) D-1586.
This testing and sampling procedure consists of driving a standard 2-inch-diameter steel split-spoon
sampler 18 inches into the soil with a 140-pound hammer free-falling 30 inches. The number of blows
required to drive the sampler through each 6-inch interval is counted, and the total number of blows
struck during the final 12 inches is recorded as the standard penetration resistance, or "SPT blow
count." If a total of 50 blows are struck within any 6-inch interval, the driving is stopped and the blow
count is recorded as 50 blows for the actual penetration distance. The resulting standard penetration
resistance values indicate the relative density of granular soils and the relative consistency of
cohesive soils. The surficial grab samples were taken below current pavement section subgrade for
CBR evaluation.
The enclosed boring logs describe the vertical sequence of soils and materials encountered in each
boring, based primarily on our field classifications and supported by our subsequent laboratory
examination and testing. Where a soil contact was observed to be gradational, our logs indicate the
average contact depth. Where a soil type changed between sample intervals, we inferred the contact
depth. Our logs also graphically indicate the blow count, sample type, sample number, and
approximate depth of each soil sample obtained from the borings, as well as any laboratory tests
Amec Foster Wheeler
A-2 Project No. PS17191350
performed on these soil samples. If any groundwater was encountered in a borehole, the approximate
groundwater depth is depicted on the boring log. Groundwater depth estimates are typically based on
the moisture content of soil samples, the wetted height on the drilling rods, and the water level
measured in the borehole after the auger has been extracted.
CORING PROCEDURES
The exploration drilling conducted in January 2018 advanced the pavement corings with the drill rig
using a 10-inch-diameter core bit prior to advancing the boreholes. A geologist from Amec Foster
Wheeler continuously observed the corings, measured the thickness of the pavement layers in each
corehole by means of a hand-held ruler, and obtained a sample of the underlying soil by means of a
hand spade. After each coring was completed, we patched the corehole with quick-setting cement
grout.

DESCRIPTIONSGRAPH
SOIL DESCRIPTIONS ARE BASED ON THE GENERAL APPROACH PRESENTED IN THE STANDARD PRACTICE FOR DESCRIPTION ANDIDENTIFICATION OF SOILS (VISUAL-MANUAL PROCEDURE), AS OUTLINED IN ASTM D 2488. WHERE LABORATORY INDEX TESTING HAS BEENCONDUCTED, SOIL CLASSIFICATIONS ARE BASED ON THE STANDARD TEST METHOD FOR CLASSIFICATION OF SOILS FOR ENGINEERINGPURPOSES, AS OUTLINED IN ASTM D 2487.
SOIL DESCRIPTION TERMINOLOGY IS BASED ON VISUAL ESTIMATES (IN THE ABSENCE OF LABORATORY TEST DATA) OF THE PERCENTAGESOF EACH SOIL TYPE AND IS DEFINED AS DESCRIBED BELOW:
DUAL SYMBOLS (E.G. SP-SM, OR GP-GM) ARE USED TO INDICATE A SOIL WITH AN ESTIMATED 5-12% FINES.
PRIMARY CONSTITUENT:SECONDARY CONSTITUENTS:ADDITIONAL CONSTITUENTS:
RELATIVE DENSITY OF SOIL IS BASED ON STANDARD TEST METHOD FOR PENETRATION TEST (SPT) AND SPLIT-BARREL SAMPLING OF SOILSASTM D 1586 OR CORRELATIONS FOR OTHER SIMPLER TYPES AND METHODS FOR SPT SAMPLING, THE FOLLOWING BLOW COUNTCORRELATION APPLIES.
