If the edge of existing concrete pavement is damaged during the construction of adjacent pavement; the damaged panel(s) must be removed and replaced in its entirety by the Contractor at his own expense. 5. APPLICATION AND FINAL DETERMINATION OF POLICY It is not the intention of this policy that the Contractor is required to remove and replace at his own expense any concrete that cracks due primarily to causes other than his own materials and/or workmanship . While cracks may be caused by a comb ination of factors, a primary cause can be determined. It is the policy that if a deficiency of materials and/or workmanship be found to be the primary cause of a crack or cracks , then the contractor shall remove and replace the panels that contain the structural crack or c racks at no expense to the City . If cracks exist in the project, the City Eng ineer or his/her designee will make the determ ination if the crack is minor or structural. If the crack is structural, the Contractor and the City will attempt to agree on the cause or causes of the crack. If the Contractor and City agree that the cause of a structural crack requiring removal and replacement is due primarily to Contractor's deficient material or workmanship, the concrete pavement will be removed and replaced at Contractor's entire expense. If the Contractor and City cannot agree as to the cause of a structural crack, the City may hire an independent geotechnical eng ineer to perform testing and analysis to determine the cause of the crack. The contractor will escrow 50% of the proposed costs of the geotechnical contract with the City. The contractor and the City shall use the serv ices of a geotechnical firm acceptable to both parties . If the geotechnical engineer determines that the primary cause of a structural crack is due to Contractor's deficient material or workmanship , the defic ient concrete pavement will be removed and replaced at Contractor's entire expense and the Contractor will also pay the City for the balance of the cost of the geotechnical investigation over and above the amount that has previously been escrowed . If the geotechnical engineer determines that the primary cause of the structural crack is not due to Contractor's deficient material or workmansh ip, the concrete pavement will not be removed and replaced without additional compensation to the Contractor. In turn, the Rev 2-19-10 SP-38 Contractor's escrowed funds, as described above, will be released. 70.

Actions or efforts which are merely "pro forma" or "going through the motions" do not constitute good faith efforts to obtain the participation ofDBEs. Similarly, even efforts which are sincerely motivated but which, given all circumstances relevant to the particular solicitation, could not be reasonably expected to produce a level of DBE participation sufficient to meet the goal do not constitute good faith efforts. In determining whether a Bidder has made a good faith effort to obtain the DBE participation percentage goal, The Twill not only look at the kinds of efforts that the Bidder has made, but also the quality and intensity of these efforts. To assist The T in making the required judgment concerning fulfillment of good faith efforts, the Department of Transportation has prepared a list illustrating the kinds of actions which would indicate that a Bidder has made a good faith effort. These kinds of efforts include: (i) Bidder attended pre-bid meetings scheduled by The T to inform DBEs of contracting and sub-contracting opportunities; (ii) Bidder selected portions of the work to be performed by certified DBEs in order to increase the likelihood of meeting the DBE goal (including, where appropriate, breaking down contracts into economically feasible units to facilitate DBE participation); (iii) Bidder advertised in general circulation, trade association, and/or minority focus medial concerning the sub-contracting opportunities; (iv) Bidder provided written notice to a reasonable number of specified DBEs that their interest in the procurement was being solicited, in sufficient time to allow such DBEs to participate effectively; (v) Bidder followed up initial solicitations of interest by contacting DBEs to determine with certainty whether the DBEs were interested; (vi) Bidder provided interested DBEs with adequate information about · the plans, specifications and requirement of the solicitation; (vii) Bidder negotiated in good faith with interested DBEs, not rejecting DBEs as unqualified without sound reasons based on their investigation of the capabilities; (viii) Bidder made efforts to assist interested DBEs in obtaining bonding, lines of credit, or insurance required by The T or the Bidder as prime Contractor; (ix) Bidder effectively used the services of available minority community organizations; minority contractor groups; local, state and federal minority business assistance offices; and other organizations that provide assistance in the recruitment and placement of DBEs (such as those DBE Assistance Organizations listed under (a.) of this SECTION 15). This is not intended to be an inventory or checklist. DOT does not require The T to insist that any Bidder do any particular one or any combination of the items on this list. It is not intended to be an exclusive or exhaustive list of all actions a Bidder, acting in good faith actively and Page 14 2009 aggressively seeking to obtain DBE participation would make . Other types of efforts or factors may be relevant in appropriate cases. (c) COMPLIANCE DOCUMENTATION In order to demonstrate compliance with The T DBE Policy and Program it is essential that full documentation be submitted at the time of the bid. This documentation consists of completion of the relevant statements appearing on pages F3 through F9 of FORMS PACKET of this bid packet, and attaching additional relevant documentation and information where specified. The T DBE COMPLIANCE STATEI\1ENT and The T SCHEDULE OF DBE UTILIZATION (pages F3 and F4 of FORMS PACKET) must be completed by all Bidders . The T GOOD FAITH EFFORT DOCUMENTATION (page FS to F9 of FORMS PACKET) must also be completed by a B idder who does not meet the DBE percentage participation goals established for this procurement but who wishes to show that it complies with the policy and program because of having made "good faith efforts" to meet those goals. Bidders who believe that bid/proposal meets the exception to the DBE Policy and Program as being one for the procurement of a standard manufactured item or other similar procurement not open to sub-contracting opportunities must, in addition, fully explain the facts on which it bases its belief that this solicitation meets the terms of that exception. Some space at the bottom of the DBE Compliance Form (above the signature lines entitled "Exception Information") has been provided for exception information. If additional space is needed to provide complete exception information, please attach additional sheets titled "T DBE Compliance Statement Exception Information." All information relative to the particular method of Bidder's compliance as set out on pages 21 and 22 of Section 15 must be submitted with the bid. Any b idder may also include any additional information it believes would be helpful in demonstrating to The T its compliance with The T DBE Policy Program. Information submitted after the deadline for the submission of bids will not be considered. In filling out The T DBE COMPLIANCE STATEI\1ENT Bidders should place a mark next to the statement which correctly describes the method by which Bidder is complying with The T Policy and Program. (i). A Bidder which is a certified DBE should place a mark by Statement No. 1 on this statement and complete the first set of questions on The T SCHEDULE OF DBE UTILIZATION. (ii) If Bidder is not a certified DBE but the bid meets the percentage participation goals either through a joint venture or subcontracting with certified DBE entities, Bidder should place a mark by Statement No. 1 on The T DBE COMPLIANCE STATEI\1ENT and complete the information on The T SCHEDULE OF DBE UTILIZATION for all DBE sub-contracting and joint venturers . If Bidder is not a certified DBE and its bid does not meet the percentage participation goals established for this contract, but Bidder has some DBE participation and wishes to qualify for the contract on the basis of its "good faith efforts" to so comply, Bidder should place a mark by Statement No. 2 on The T DBE COMPLIANCE STATEI\1ENT, complete The T SCHEDULE OF DBE UTILIZATION (including dollar amount of work) for all certified DBE sub-contractors or joint venture participants and complete The T GOOD FAITH EFFORT DOCUMENTATION giving details as Page 15 (d) 2009 to all other DBEs Bidder contacted in connection with participation in the work to be performed by the winner of this solicitation. In addition, in order to show good faith efforts, Bidder should attach an additional statement showing what other efforts Bidder made in actively and aggressively seeking to meet the percentage participation goals. An illustrative list of some of those actions is included in the discussion under COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS (Section 15 (b) of this attachment). (iii) If Bidder is not a certified DBE and the percentage participation by certified DBEs in its bid fails to meet the goal set for this contract, but Bidder believes that the subject matter of the contract comes within the exception to the percentage participation goal requirements of the DBE policy, Bidder should place a mark by Statement No. 3 on The T DBE COMPLIANCE STATEMENT providing exception information in the space provided, and complete The T SCHEDULE OF DBE UTILIZATION showing "none." If there is insufficient space on The T DBE Compliance Statement, then attach a statement explaining fully the facts on which Bidder bases its belief that the solicitation is for the "procurement of a standard manufactured item or other similar procurement not open to sub-contracting opportunities". The attached statement should be titled "The T DBE Compliance Statement -Exception Information", or similarly. COUNTING PARTICIPATION TOWARD MEETING DBE GOAL DBE participation shall be counted toward meeting goals set in accordance with DOT's DBE regulations at 49 CFR Part 26 and The T's program as follows: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) Once a firm is determined to be a certified DBE in accordance with the provisions specified in this program, the total dollar value of the contract or subcontract awarded to it is counted toward the applicable goal, if the contract is a fixed price contract. For other types of contracts, only actual payments to the certified DBE will be counted toward the applicable goal. The Fort Worth Transportation Authority or the contractor employing a certified DBE firm may count toward its goals a portion of the total dollar value of a contract with a joint venture eligible under the DBE eligibility criteria specified herein equal to the percentage of the ownership and control of the certified DBE partner in the joint venture. The Fort Worth Transportation Authority or a contractor will count toward its goal only expenditures to certified DBEs that perform a commercially useful function in the work of a contract. A certified DBE is considered to perform a commercially useful function when it is responsible for execution of a distinct element of the work of a contract and carrying out its responsibilities by actually performing, managing, and supervising the work involved. To determine whether a certified DBE is performing a commercially useful function, The T or a contractor shall evaluate the amount of work subcontracted, industry practices, and other relevant factors. Consistent with normal industry practices, a DBE may enter into subcontracts. If a DBE contractor subcontracts a significantly greater portion of the work of the contract than would be expected on the basis of normal industry practices, the DBE shall be presumed not to be performing a commercially useful function. The DBE may present evidence to rebut this presumption to The T. The Fort Worth Transportation Authority's decision on the rebuttal of this resumption is final, subject to review by the Department of Transportation in instances of DOT-assisted contracts. Page 16 (v) 2009 The Fort Worth Transportation Authority or a contractor may count toward its DBE goals expenditures for materials and supplies obtained from certified DBE suppliers and manufactures provided that the DBEs assume the actual and contractual responsibility for the provision of the materials and supplies. The Fort Worth Transportation Authority or a contractor may count its entire expenditure to a certified DBE manufacturer (i.e., a supplier that produces goods from raw materials or substantially alters them before resale). The Fort Worth Transportation Authority will count 60 percent of its expenditures to certified DBE suppliers that are not manufacturers, provided that such suppliers perform a commercially useful function in the supply process.

General. In addition to the affirmative action requirements of the Special Provision titled "Standard Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Construction Contract Specifications" as set forth elsewhere in this proposal, the Bidder's attention is directed to the specific requirements for utilization of minorities and females as set forth below. 2. Goals. a. Goals for minority and female participation are hereby established in accordance with 41 CFR60-4. b. The goals for minority and female participation expressed in percentage terms for the Contractor's aggregate work force in each trade on all construction work in the covered area, are as follows: Goals for minority participation in each trade (per- cent) See Table 1 Goals for female participation in each trade (per- cent) 6.9 c. These goals are applicable to all the Contractor's construction work (whether or not it is Federal or federally assisted) performed in the covered area. If the Contractor performs construction work in a geographical area located outside of the covered area, it shall apply the goals established for such geographical area where the work is actually performed. With regard to this second area, the Contractor also is subject to the goals for both its federally involved and non-federally involved construction. 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 Standard Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Construction Contract Specifications Special Provision 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, 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 and female employees or trainees from Contractor to Contractor or from project to project for the sole purpose of meeting the Contractor's goals 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. 1-5 000---004 05-04 d. A contractor or subcontractor will be considered in compliance with these provisions by participation in the Texas Highway-Heavy Branch, AGC, Statewide Training and Affirmative Action Plan. Provided that each contractor or subcontractor participating in this plan must individually comply with the equal opportunity clause set forth in 41 CFR 60-1.4 and must make a good faith effort to achieve the goals set forth for each . participating trade in the plan in which it has employees. The overall good performance of other contractors and subcontractors toward a goal in an approved plan does not excuse any covered contractor's or subcontractor's failure to make good faith efforts to achieve the goals contained in these provisions.

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: (i) Black (all persons having origins in any of the Black African racial groups not of Hispanic origin); (ii) Hispanic ( all persons of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central or South American or other Spanish Culture or origin, regardless ofrace); (iii) Asian and Pacific Islander (all persons having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, or the Pacific Islands); and (iv) American Indian or Alaskan Native (all persons having origins in any of the original peoples of North American and maintaining identifiable tribal affiliations through membership and participation or community identification). 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 individqally or through an association, its affirmative action obligations on all work in the Plan area (including goals and timetables) shall be in accordance with that plan for those trades which have unions participating in the Plan. Contractors must be able to demonstrate their participation in and compliance with the provisions of any such Hometown Plan. Each Contractor or Subcontractor participating in an approved Plan is individually required to comply with its 1-6 000---006 05-04 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 efforts to achieve the Plan goals and timetables. 4. The Contractor shall implement the specific affirmative action standards provided in paragraphs 7a through p of these specifications. 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 contracts 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 contract is being performed. Goals are published periodically in the Federal Register in notice form and such notices may be obtained from any Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs office or any Federal procurement contracting officer. The Contractor is expected to make substantially uniform progress toward 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 actions. 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. 2-6 000---006 05-04 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 opportunities 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 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 onsite 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 3-6 000---006 05-04 applications for apprenticeship or other training by any recruitment source, the Contractor shall send written 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 workforce. k. Validate all tests and other selection requirements where there is an obligation to do so under 41 CFR Part 60-3. I. Conduct, at least annually, an inventory and evaluation at least 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 non-segregated 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 contractor s 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 policie_s 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 (7 a through p ). 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 its obligations under 7a through p of these Specifications 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, ensures that the concrete benefits of the program are reflected in the Contractor's minority and female workforce participation, makes a good faith effort to meet its individual goals and timetables, and can provide access to documentation which demonstrates 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 4-6 000---006 05-04 minority and non-minority. Consequently, the Contractor may be in violation of the Executive Order if a particular group is employed in a substantially disparate manner (for example, even 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. Nondiscrimination programs require that Federal-aid recipients, subrecipients, and contractors prevent discrimination and ensure nondiscrimination in all of their programs and activities, whether those programs and activities are federally funded or not. The factors prohibited from serving as a basis for action or inaction which discriminates include race, color, national origin, sex, age, and handicap/disability. The efforts to prevent discrimination must address, but not be limited to a program's impacts, access , benefits, participation, treatment, services, contracting opportunities, training opportunities, investigations of complaints, allocations of funds, prioritization of projects, and the :functions of right-of-way, research, planning, and design. 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 suspension, termination and cancellation 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 these specifications, 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 the 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, contractors shall not be required to maintain separate records. 15. Nothing herein provided shall be construed as a limitation upon the application of other laws which establish different standards of compliance or upon 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). 5-6 000---006 05-04 16. In addition to the reporting requirements set forth elsewhere in this contract, the Contractor and the subcontractors holding subcontracts, not including material suppliers, of $10,000 or more, shall submit for every month of July during which work is per-formed, employment data as contained under Form PR 1391 (Appendix C to 23 CFR, Part 230), and in accordance with the instructions included thereon. 6-6 000---006 05-04 2004 Specifications SPECIAL PROVISION 000---009 Certification of Nondiscrimination in Employment By signing this proposal, the bidder certifies that he has participated in a previous contract or subcontract subject to the equal opportunity clause, as required by Executive Orders 10925, 11114, or 11246, or ifhe has not participated in a previous contract of this type, or ifhe has had previous contract or subcontracts and has not filed, he will file with the Joint Reporting Committee, the Director of the Office of Federal Contract Compliance, a Federal Government contracting or administering agency, or the former President's Committee on Equal Employment Opportunity, all reports due under the applicable filing requirements. Note: The above certification is required by the Eq1,1al Employment Opportunity Regulations of the Secretary of Labor (41 CFR 60-l.7(b)(l)), and must be submitted by bidders and proposed subcontractors only in connection with contracts and subcontracts which are subject to the equal opportunity clause. Contracts and subcontracts which are exempt from the equal opportunity clause are set forth in 41 CFR 60-1.5. (Generally only contracts or subcontracts of$10,000 or under are exempt.) Currently, Standard Form 100 (EEO-I) is the only report required by the Executive Orders or their implementing regulations. Proposed prime contractors and subcontractors who have participated in a previous contract or subcontract subject to the Executive Orders and have not filed the required reports should note that 41 CFR 60-l.7(b)(l) prevents the award of contracts and subcontracts unless such contractor submits a report covering the delinquent period or such other period specified by the Federal Highway Administration or by the Director, Office of Federal Contract Compliance, U.S. Department of Labor. 1-1 000---009 04-04 2004 Specifications SPECIAL PROVISION 000---011 Department Division Mailing and Physical Addresses For this project, Item 000, "Department Division Mailing and Physical Addresses," of the Standard Specifications, is hereby amended with respect to the clauses cited below, and no other clauses or requirements of this Item are waived or changed hereby.

Description. The purpose of this Special Provision is to carry out the U.S. Department of Transportation's (DOT) policy of ensuring nondiscrimination in the award and administration of DOT assisted contracts and creating a level playing field on which firms owned and controlled by individuals who are determined to be socially and economically disadvantaged can compete fairly for DOT assisted contracts. If the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) goal is greater than zero, Article A, "Disadvantaged Business Enterprise in Federal-Aid Construction", of this Special Provision shall apply to this contract. If there is no DBE goal, Article B, "Race-Neutral DBE Participation", of this · Special Provision shall apply to this contract. The percentage goal for DBE participation in the work to be performed under this contract will be shown on the proposal. A. Article A. Disadvantaged Business Enterprise in Federal-Aid Construction. 1. Policy. It is the policy of the DOT and the Texas Department of Transportation (henceforth the "Department") that DBEs, as defined in 49 CFR Part 26, Subpart A and the Department's DBE Program, shall have the opportunity to participate in the performance of contracts financed in whole or in part with Federal funds. The DBE requirements of 49 CFR Part 26, and the Department's DBE Program, apply to this contract as follows: a. The Contractor will solicit DBEs through reasonable and available means, as defined in 49 CFR Part 26, Appendix A and the Department's DBE Program, or show a good faith effort to meet the DBE goal for this contract. b. The Contractor, subrecipient or subcontractor shall not discriminate on the basis ofrace, 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. c. The requirements of this Special Provision shall be physically included in any subcontract. d. By signing the contract proposal, the Bidder is certifying that the DBE goal as stated in the proposal will be met by obtaining commitments from eligible DBEs or that the Bidder will provide acceptable evidence of good faith effort to meet the commitment. The Department will determine the adequacy of a Contractor's efforts to meet the contract goal, within 10 business days, 1-11 000---461 02-06 excluding national holidays, from receipt of the information outlined in this Special Provision under Section l .A.3, "Contractor's Responsibilities ." If the requirements of Section l .A.3 are met, the conditional situation will be removed and the contract will be forwarded to the Contractor for execution. 2. Def"mitions. a. "Department" means the Texas Department of Transportation. b. "DOT" means the U .S. Department of Transportation, including the Office of the Secretary, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). c. "Federal-Aid Contract" is any contract between the Texas Department of Transportation and a Contractor which is paid for in whole or in part with DOT financial assistance. · d. "DBE Joint Venture" means an association of a DBE firm and 1 or more other firm(s) to carry out a single business enterprise for profit for which purpose they combine their property, capital, efforts, skills and knowledge, and in which the DBE is responsible for a distinct, clearly defined portion of the work of the contract and whose share in the capital contribution, control, management, risks, and profits of the joint venture are commensurate with its ownership interest. e.

The TUCP by Memorandum of Agreement established six member entities to serve as certifying agents for Texas in specified regions. 3. Contractor's Responsibilities. These requirements must be satisfied by the Contractor. a. After conditional award of the contract, the Contractor shall submit a completed Form No.SMS.4901, "DBE Commitment Agreement" for each DBE he/she intends to use to satisfy the DBE goal or a good faith effort to explain why the goal could not be reached, so as to arrive in the Department's Business Opportunity Programs (BOP) Office in Austin, Texas not later than 5:00 p.m. on the 10th business day, excluding national holidays, after the conditional award of the contract. When requested, additional time, not to exceed 7 business days, excluding national holidays, may be granted based on documentation submitted by the Contractor. b. DBE prime Contractors may receive credit toward the DBE goal for work performed by his/her own forces and work subcontracted to DBEs. A DBE prime must make a good faith effort to meet the goals. In the event a DBE prime subcontracts to a non-DBE, that information must be reported on Form No. SMS.4902. c. A Contractor who cannot meet the contract goal, in whole or in part, shall make adequate good faith efforts to obtain DBE participation as so stated and defined in 49 CFR Part 26, Appendix A. The following is a list of the types of action that may be considered as good faith efforts. 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 . • Soliciting through all reasonable and available means ( e.g. attendance at prebid meetings, advertising, and/or written notices) the interest of all certified DBEs who have the capability to perform the work of the contract. The solicitation must be done within sufficient time to allow the DBEs to respond to it. Appropriate steps must be taken to follow up initial solicitations to determine, with certainty, if the DBEs are interested. 3-11 000---461 02-06 • Selecting portions of the work to be performed by DBEs in order to increase the likelihood that the DBE goals will be achieved. This includes, where appropriate, breaking out contract work items into economically feasible units to facilitate DBE participation, even when the Contractor might otherwise prefer to perform the work items with its own forces. • Providing interested DBEs with adequate information about the plans, specifications, and requirements of the contract in a timely manner to assist them in responding to a solicitation. • Negotiating in good faith with interested DBEs to make a portion of the work available to DBE subcontractors and suppliers and select those portions of the work or material needs consistent with the available DBE subcontractors and suppliers, so as to facilitate DBE participation. Evidence of such negotiations includes the names, addresses, and telephone numbers ofDBEs that were considered; a description of the information provided regarding the plans and specifications for the work selected for subcontracting; and evidence as to why additional agreements could not be reached for DBEs to perform the work. • A Bidder using good business judgment would consider a number of factors in negotiating with subcontractors, including DBE subcontractors, and would take a firm price and capabilities .as well as contract goals into consideration. However, the fact that there may be some additional cost involved in finding and using DBEs 1s not in itself sufficient reason for a bidders failure to meet the Contract DBE goal as long as such cost are reasonable. Also, the ability or desire of the Contractor to perform the work of the Contract with its own organization does not relieve the Bidder of the responsibility to make good faith effort. Contractors are not, however, required to accept higher quotes from DBEs if the price difference is excessive or unreasonable. • Not rejecting DBEs 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 cause for the rejection or non- solicitation of bids and the Contractors efforts to meet the project goal. • Making efforts to assist interested DBEs in obtaining bonding, lines of credit, or insurance as required by the recipient or Contractor. • Making efforts to assist interested DBEs in obtaining necessary equipment, supplies, materials, or related assistance or services. • 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 ofDBEs. • If the Program Manager of the BOP Office determines that the Contractor has failed to meet the good faith effort requirements, the Contractor will 4-11 000---461 02-06 be given an opportunity for reconsideration by the Director of the BOP Office. d. Should the bidder to whom the contract is conditionally awarded refuse, neglect or fail to meet the DBE goal or comply with good faith effort requirements, the proposal guaranty filed with the bid shall become the property of the state, not as a penalty, but as liquidated damages to the Department. e. The preceding information shall be submitted directly to the Business Opportunity Programs Office, Texas Department of Transportation, 125 E. 11th Street, Austin, Texas 78701-2483. f. The Contractor shall not terminate for convenience a DBE subcontractor named in the commitment submitted under Section l.A.3.a. of this Special Provision. Prior to terminating or removing a DBE subcontractor named in the commitment, the Contractor must have a written consent of the Department. g. The Contractor shall also make a good faith effort to replace a DBE subcontractor that is unable to perform successfully with another DBE, to the extent needed to meet the contract goal. The Contractor shall submit a completed Form No.4901, "DBE Commitment Agreement," for the substitute DBE firm(s). Any substitution of DB Es shall be subject to approval by the Department. Prior to approving the substitution, the Department will request a statement from the DBE concerning it being replaced. h. The Contractor shall designate a DBE liaison officer who will administer the Contractor's DBE program and who will be responsible for maintenance of records of efforts and contacts made to subcontract with DBEs. i. Contractors are encouraged to investigate the services offered by banks owned and controlled by disadvantaged individuals and to make use of these banks where feasible. 4. Eligibility of DBEs. a. The member entities of the TUCP certify the eligibility ofDBEs and DBE joint ventures to perform DBE subcontract work on DOT financially assisted contracts. b. The Department maintains the Texas Unified Certification Program DBE Directory containing the names of firms that have been certified to be eligible to participate as DBE's on DOT financially assisted contracts. This Directory is available from the Department's BOP Office. An update of the Directory can be found on the Internet at http ://www.dot.state.tx.us/business/tucpinfo.htm. c. Only DBE firms certified at the time commitments are submitted are eligible to be used in the information furnished by the Contractor as required under Section l.A.3.a. and 3.g. above. For purposes of the DBE goal on this project; 5-11 000---461 02-06 DBEs will only be allowed to perform work in the categories of work for which they are certified. d. Only DBE firms certified at the time of execution of a contract/subcontract/purchase order, are eligible for DBE goal participation. 5. Determination of DBE Participation. When a DBE participates in a contract, only the values of the work actually performed by the DBE, as referenced below, shall be counted by the prime contractor toward DBE goals: a. The total amount paid to the DBE for work performed with his/her own forces is counted toward the DBE goal. When a DBE subcontracts part of the work of its contract to another firm, the value of the subcontracted work may be counted toward DBE goals only if the subcontractor is itself a DBE. Work that a DBE subcontracts to a non-DBE firm does not count toward DBE goals. b. A Contractor may count toward its DBE goal a portion of the total value of the contract amount paid to a DBE joint venture equal to the distinct, clearly defined portion of the work of the contract performed by the DBE. (1) A Contractor may count toward its DBE goal only expenditures to DBEs that perform a commercially useful function (CUF) in the work of a contract or purchase order. A DBE is considered to perform a CUF 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 CUF, 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. In accordance with 49 CFR Part 26, Appendix A, guidance concerning Good Faith Efforts, contractors may make efforts to assist interested DBEs in obtaining necessary equipment, supplies, materials, or related assistance or services. Contractors may not however, negotiate the price of materials or supplies used on the contract by the DBE, nor may they determine quality and quantity, order the materials themselves, nor install the materials ( where applicable), or pay for the material themselves. Contractors however, may share the quotations they receive from the material supplier with the DBE firm, so that the DBE firm may negotiate a reasonable price with the material supplier. In all cases, prime or other subcontractor assistance will not be credited toward the DBE goal. (2) A 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 funds are passed in order to obtain the appearance of DBE participation. 6-11 000---461 02-06 Consistent with industry practices and the DOT/Department's DBE program, a DBE subcontractor may enter into second-tier subcontracts, amounting up to 70% of their contract. Work subcontracted to a non- DBE does not count towards DBE goals. If a DBE does not perform or exercise responsibility for at least 3 0% of the total cost of its contract with its own work force, or the DBE subcontracts a greater portion of the work of a contract than would be expected on the basis of normal industry practice for the type of work involved, it will be presumed that the DBE is not performing a CUF (3) · A DBE trucking firm (including an owner operator who is certified as a DBE is considered to be performing a CUF when the DBE is responsible for the management and supervision of the entire trucking operation on a particular contract and the DBE itself owns and operates at least 1 fully licensed, insured, and operational truck used on the contract. (a) (b) (c) (d) The Contractor receives credit for the total value of the transportation services the DBE provides on a contract using trucks it owns, insures, and operates using drivers it employs. The DBE may lease trucks from another DBE firm, including an owner operator who is certified as a DBE. The DBE who leases trucks from another DBE receives credit for the total value of the transportation services the lessee DBE provides on the Contract. The DBE may also lease trucks from a non-DBE firm, including from an owner-operator. The DBE who leases trucks from a non- DBE is entitled to credit for the total value of transportation services provided by non-DBE lessees not to exceed the value of transportation services provided by the DBE-owned trucks on the contract. Additional participation by non-DBE lessees receive credit only for the fee or commission it receives as result of the lease arrangement A lease must indicate that the DBE has exclusive use of and control over the trucks giving the DBE absolute priority for use of the leased trucks. Leased trucks must display the name and identification number of the DBE. ( 4) When a DBE is presumed not to be performing a CUF the DBE may present evidence to rebut this presumption. c. A Contractor may count toward its DBE goals expenditures for materials and supplies obtained from a DBE manufacturer, provided that the DBE assumes the actual and contractual responsibility for the materials and supplies. Count expenditures with DBEs for materials or supplies toward DBE goals as provided in the following: 7-11 000---461 02-06 (1) If the materials or supplies are obtained from a DBE manufacturer, count 100% of the cost of the materials or supplies toward DBE goals . (Definition of a DBE manufacturer found at lA.c.(1) of this provision.) For purposes of this Section (l .A.c.(1)), a manufacturer is a firm that operates or maintains a factory or establishment that produces, on the premises, the materials, supplies, articles, or equipment required under the contract and of the general character described by the specifications. (2) If the materials or supplies are purchased from a DBE regular dealer, count 60% of the cost of the materials or supplies toward DBE goals. For purposes of this Section (l.A.5.c.(2)), a regular dealer is a firm that owns,' operates, or maintains a store, warehouse, or other establishment in which the materials, supplies, articles or equipment of the general character described by the specifications and required under the contract are bought, kept in stock, and regularly sold or leased to the public in the usual course of business: (A) To be a regular dealer, the firm must be an established, regular business that engages, as its principal business and under its own name, in the purchase and sale or lease of the products in question. (B) A person may be a regular dealer in such bulk items . as petroleum products, steel, cement, gravel, stone or asphalt without owning, operating, or maintaining a place of business as provided in the first paragraph under Section l .A .5 .c.(2), if the person both owns and operates distribution equipment for the products. Any supplementing ofregular dealers' own distribution equipment shall be by a long-term lease agreement and not on an ad hoc or contract-by-contract basis. (C) Packagers, brokers, manufacturers' representatives, or other persons who arrange or expedite transactions are not regular dealers within the meaning of Section l .A.5.c.(2). (3) With respect to materials or supplies purchased from DBE which is neither a manufacturer nor a regular dealer, count the entire amount of 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, toward DBE goals, provided you determine the fees to be reasonable and not excessive as compared with fees customarily allowed for similar services. Do not count any portion of the cost of the materials and supplies themselves toward DBE goals . (4) Count the entire amount of fees or commissions charged by a DBE firm for providing a bona fide service, such as professional, technical, consultant or managerial services, or for providing bonds or insurance 8-11 000 ---461 02-06 specifically required for the performance of a DOT-assisted contract, toward DBE goals, provided you determine the fee to be reasonable and not excessive as compared with fees customarily allowed for similar services. d. If the Contractor chooses to assist a DBE firm, other than a manufacturing material supplier or regular dealer, and the DBE firm accepts the assistance, the Contractor may act solely as a guarantor by use of a two-party check for payment of materials to be used on the project by the DBE. The material supplier must invoice the DBE who will present the invoice to the Contractor. The Contractor may issue a joint check to the DBE and the material supplier and the DBE firm must issue the remittance to the material supplier. No funds shall go directly from the Contractor to the material supplier. The DBE firm may accept or reject this joint checking arrangement. The Contractor must obtain approval from the Department prior to implementing the use of joint check arrangements with the DBE. Submit to the Department, Joint Check Approval Form 2178 for requesting approval. Provide copies of cancelled joint checks upon request. No DBE goal credit will be allowed for the cost of DBE materials that are paid by the Contractor directly to the material supplier. e. No DBE goal credit will be allowed for supplies and equipmeri.t the DBE subcontractor leases from the contractor or its affiliates. f. No DBE goal credit will be allowed for the period oftime determined by the Department that the DBE was not performing a CUF. The denial period of time may occur before or after a determination has been made by the department. In case of the denial of credit for non-performance of a CUF of a DBE, the Contractor will be required to provide a substitute DBE to meet the contract goal or provide an adequate good faith effort when applicable. 6. Records and Reports. a. The Contractor shall submit monthly reports, after work begins, on DBE payments to meet the DBE goal and for DBE or HUB race-neutral participation. Report payments made to non-DBE HUBs. The monthly report is to be sent to the Area Engineer. These reports will be due within 15 days after the end of a calendar month. These reports will be required until all DBE subcontracting or material supply activity is completed. Form No. SMS.4903, "DBE or HUB Progress Report," is to be used for monthly reporting. Form No. SMS.4904, "DBE or HUB Final Report," is to be used as a final summary of DBE payments submitted upon completion of the project. The original final report must be submitted to the Business Opportunity Programs Office and a copy must be submitted to the Area Engineer. These forms may be obtained from the Department or may be reproduced by the Contractor. The Department may verify the amounts being reported as paid to DBEs by requesting copies of cancelled checks paid to DBEs on a random basis. 9-11 000---461 02-06 Cancelled checks and invoices should reference the Department's project · number. b. DBE subcontractors and/or material suppliers should be identified on the monthly report by Vendor Number, name, and the amount of actual payment made to each during the monthly period. Negative reports are required when no activity has occurred in a monthly period. c. All such records must be retained for a period of 3 years following completion of the contract work, and shall be available at reasonable times and places for inspection by authorized representatives of the Department or the DOT. Provide copies of subcontracts or agreements and other documentation upon request. d; Prior to receiving final payment, the Contractor shall submit Form SMS.4904, "DBE or HUB Final Report". If the DBE goal requirement is not met, documentation supporting Good Faith Efforts, as outlined in Section l .A.3 .c. of this Special Provision, must be submitted with the "DBE or HUB Final Report." e. Provide a certification of prompt payment, the Prompt Payment Certification Form 2177, to certify that all subcontractors and suppliers were paid from the previous months payments and retainage was released for those whose work is complete. Submit the completed form each month and the month following the month when final acceptance occurred at the end of the project. 7. Compliance of Contractor. To ensure that DBE requirements of this DOT assisted contract are complied with, the Department will monitor the Contractor's efforts to involve DB Es during the performance of this contract. This will be accomplished by a review of monthly reports submitted to the Area Engineer by the Contractor indicating his progress in achieving the DBE contract goal, and by compliance reviews conducted on the project site by the Department. The Contractor shall receive credit toward the DBE goal based on actual payments to the DBE subcontractor. The Contractor shall notify the Area Engineer if he/she withholds or reduces payment to any DBE subcontractor. The Contractor shall submit an affidavit detailing the DBE subcontract payments prior to receiving final payment for the contract. Contractors' requests for substitutions of DBE subcontractors shall be accompanied by a detailed explanation which should substantiate the need for a substitution. The Contractor may not be allowed to count work on those items being substituted toward the DBE goal prior to approval of the substitution from the Department. The prime Contractor is prohibited from providing work crews and equipment to DBEs. DBE Goal credit for the DBE subcontractors leasing of equipment or purchasing of supplies from the prime contractor or its affiliates is not allowed. 10-11 000---461 02-06 When a DBE subcontractor, named in the commitment under Section l .A.3 .a. of this Special Provision, is terminated or fails to complete its work on the contract for any reason, the prime contractor is required to make good faith efforts to find another DBE subcontractor to substitute for the original DBE. These good faith efforts shall be directed at finding another DBE to perform at least the same amount of work under the contract as the DBE that was terminated, to the extent needed to meet the contract goal. A Contractor's failure to comply with the requirements of this Special Provision shall constitute a material breach of this contract. In such a case, the Department reserves the right to terminate the contract; to deduct the amount of DBE goal not accomplished by DBEs from the money due or to become due the Contractor, or to secure a refund, not as a penalty but as liquidated damages to the Department or such other remedy or remedies as the Department deems appropriate. B. Article B. Race-Neutral Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Participation. It is the policy of the DOT that Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) as defined in 49 CFR Part 26 Subpart A, be given the opportunity to compete fairly for contracts and subcontracts financed in whole or in part with Federal funds and that a maximum feasible portion of the Department's overall DBE goal be met using race-neutral means. Consequently, if there is no DBE goal, the DBE requirements of 49 CFR Part 26, apply to this contract as follows: The Contractor will offer DBEs as defined in 49 CFR Part 26, Subpart A, the opportunity to compete fairly for contracts and subcontractors financed in whole or in part with Federal funds. Race-Neutral DBE and non-DBE HUB participation on projects with no DBE goal shall be reported on Form No. SMS.4903, "DBE or HUB Progress Report" and submitted to the Area Engineer each month and at project completion. Payments to DBEs reported on Form SMS.4903 are subject to the requirements of Section l.A.5, "Determination of DBE Participation." 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. 11-11 000---461 02-06 2004 Specifications SPECIAL PROVISION 001---011 Definition of Terms For this project, Item 001, "Definition of Terms," of the Standard Specifications, is hereby amended with respect to the clauses cited below, and no other clauses or requirements of this Item are waived or changed hereby.

Opening and Reading of Bids. At the time, date and location specified in the official advertisement, the Letting Official will publicly: • open and read manually submitted bids; and • read electronically submitted bids. 5-8 002---017 02-09 2.13. Gratuities. Do not offer Department employees benefits, gifts, or favors. The only exceptions allowed are ordinary business lunches. Failure to honor this policy may result in the termination of the Contract and sanctions under the Texas Administrative Code. Termination of the Contract will be in accordance with Article 8.7, "Termination of Contract." 2.14. Tabulating Bids. A. Official Total Bid Amount. The Department will sum the products of the quantities and the unit prices bid in the bid form to determine the official total bid amount. Except as provided in Section 2.14.G, "Special Item Considerations," the official total bid amount is the basis for determining the apparent low Bidder. The total bid amounts will be compared and the results made public. B. Consideration of Bid Format. When a Bidder submits both an electronic bid and a properly completed manual bid, the unit bid prices in the manual bid will be used to determine the total bid amount. If a bidder submits an electronic bid and an incomplete manual bid, the electronic bid will be used in the tabulation of the total bid amount. If a bidder submits two or more manual bids, all responsive bids will be tabulated. The bid with the lowest tabulation will be used to determine the total bid amount. C. Rounding of Unit Prices. The Department will round off all unit bids involving fractional parts of a cent to the nearest one-tenth cent ($0.001) in determining the amount of the bid as well as computing the amount due for payment of each Item under the Contract. For rounding purposes, entries of five-hundredths of a cent ($0.0005) or more will be rounded up to the next highest tenth of a cent, while entries less than five-hundredths of a cent will be rounded down to the next lowest tenth of a cent. · D. Interpretation of Unit Prices. The Department will make a documented determination of the unit bid price for tabulation purposes if a unit bid price is illegible. The Department's determination will be final. E. Consideration of Unit Prices. Unit bid price entries such as no dollars and no cents, zero dollars and zero cents, or numerical entries of $0.00, will be tabulated as one-tenth of a cent ($0.001). The Department will consider proposals where unit bid prices have been left blank incomplete and nonresponsive. If a proposal has a regular and a corresponding alternate Item or group of Items, the bid will be considered complete if: • the regular Item or group of regular Items has unit prices entered, or • the alternate Item or group of alternate Items has unit prices entered. The bid will be considered incomplete and nonresponsive if: • a regular Item or group of regular Items is left blank, and • a corresponding alternate Item or group of alternate Items is left blank. 6-8 002---017 02-09 F. Consideration of Alternate Items. The Department will make two calculations using one- tenth of a cent ($0 .001) for each Item if: • a regular Item or a group ofltems have an entry such as no dollars and no cents, zero dollars and zero cents, or numerical entries of $0.00, and • a corresponding alternate Item or group of Items, have an entry such as no dollars and no cents, zero dollars and zero cents, or numerical entries of $0 .00. The Department will select the regular Item or Items or the alternate Item or Items at the Department's discretion if both the regular and alternate bid results in the same cost to the State. The Department will use the unit price that is greater than zero for bid tabulation if: • a unit price greater than zero has been entered for either a regular bid or a corresponding alternate Item or group of Items, and • an entry of no dollars and no cents, zero dollars and zero cents, or a numerical entry of $0.00 has been entered for the other corresponding Item or group of Items. If a unit price has been entered for both the regular Item and a corresponding alternate Item, the Department will select the option (regular or alternate) that results in the lowest cost to the State. The Department will select the regular Item or Items or the alternate Item or Items at the Department's discretion if both the regular and alternate bid results in the same cost to the State. G. Special Item Considerations. 1. Rubber Additives. For proposed Contracts without federal funds, if an alternate Item for "Hot Asphalt-Rubber Surface Treatments" or "Hot Mix Asphalt Concrete Pavement" which contains ground tire rubber is shown in the bid form and the Bidder bids that alternate Item, the amounts bid for "Hot Asphalt-Rubber" and "Aggregate" or "Hot Mix Asphalt Concrete" will be reduced to 85% of the amounts actually bid. This reduction will only be used for the purposes of determining the lowest Bidder. To qualify, the ground tire rubber used must be produced from scrap tire ground in a facility in Texas. Payment for "Hot Asphalt-Rubber" and "Aggregate" or "Hot Mix Asphalt Concrete" will be at the actual unit prices bid. 2. "Buy America." For proposed Contracts where unit bid prices are submitted for both domestic and foreign steel or iron materials, the total bid amount will be calculated using both the domestic and foreign steel unit bid prices. If the total bid amount using the foreign steel or iron materials is the low bid, and the lowest bid using domestic steel or iron materials exceeds the low bid using foreign steel or iron materials by 25% or more, the apparent low Bidder will be the bid using foreign steel or iron materials. If the difference between the low bid using foreign steel or iron materials and the lowest bid using domestic steel or iron materials is less than 25%, the apparent low Bidder will be the bid using domestic steel or iron materials. 3. Home State Bidding Preference. For the purpose of determining the apparent low Bidder on proposed Contracts without federal funds, the total bid amount will be based upon the reverse application of the non-resident Bidder's home state bidding preference, if any. 2.15. Consideration of Bid Errors. The Department will consider a claim of a bid error by the apparent low Bidder if the following requirements have been met: 7-8 002---017 02-09 • Submit written notification to the Department within 5 business days after the date the bid is opened. • Identify the Items of work involved and include bidding documentation. The Department may request clarification of submitted documentation. The Department will evaluate the claim of an error by the apparent low Bidder by considering the following: • The bid error relates to a material Item of work. • The bid error amount is a significant portion of the total bid. • The bid error occurred despite the exercise of ordinary care. • The delay of the proposed work will not impact cost and safety to the public. Acceptance of the bid error claim by the Department will result in the rejection of all bids. The erring Contractor will not be allowed to bid the project when it is relet. Rejection of bids due to the Contractor's bid error may result in the application of sanctions by the Department. 2.17. Electronic Bidding. Take responsibility for correctly installing the EBS software. Secure the digital certificate issued by the department at all times. Promptly report compromised digital certificates to the Department. Select an Internet Service Provider. The Department will not be responsible for Internet unavailability. The Department will not provide a computer for preparing, submitting, revising or withdrawing an electronic bid. 2.18. Bid Form Content. The electronic and the EBS printed bid form do not contain such things as the special provisions, special specifications, and general notes. These documents are included by reference. Manual bid forms (traditional proposals) will include such provisions. 8-8 002---017 02-09 2004 Specifications SPECIAL PROVISION 004---013 Scope of Work For this project, Item 4, "Scope of Work," of the Standard Specifications, is hereby amended with respect to the clauses cited below, and no other clauses or requirements of this Item are waived or changed hereby.

Requests and Claims for Additional Compensation, Section A., Delay Claims is voided and replaced by the following: A. Damages. Damages occur when impacts that are the responsibility of the Department result in additional costs to the contractor that could not have been reasonably anticipated at the time of letting. Costs of performing additional work are not considered damages. For contractor damages, the intent is to reimburse the Contractor for actual expenses arising out of a compensable impact. No profit or markups, other than labor burden, will be allowed. For damages, labor burden will be reimbursed at 35% unless the Contractor can justify higher actual cost. Justification for a higher percentage must be in accordance with the methodology provided by the Department, submitted separately for project overhead labor and direct labor, and determined and submitted by a Certified Public Accountant (CPA). Submit CPA-prepared labor burden rates directly to the Contract Letting and Contractor Prequalification Branch of the Construction Division. 1. Delay Damages If the Contractor requests compensation for delay damages and the delay is determined to be compensable, then standby equipment costs and project overhead compensation will be based on the duration of the compensable delay and will be limited as follows: a. Standby Equipment Costs. • Standby costs will not be allowed during periods when the equipment would have otherwise been idle. • No more than 8 hr. of standby will be paid during a 24-hr. day, nor more than 40 hr. per week, nor more than 176 hr. per month. • For Contractor-owned equipment, standby will be paid at 50% of the rental rates found in the Rental Rate Blue Book for Construction Equipment and calculated by dividing the monthly rate by 176 and multiplying by the regional adjustment factor and the rate adjustment factor. For leased equipment on standby, 100% of the invoice cost of the leased equipment will be paid. Operating costs will not be allowed. 1-2 004---013 01-09 b. Project Overhead. Project overhead is defined as the administrative and supervisory expenses incurred at the work locations. When delay to project completion occurs, reimbursement for project overhead for the prime contractor will be made using the following options: • reimbursed at 6% (computed as daily cost by dividing 6% of the original contract amount by the as-let number of working days) or • actual documented costs for the impacted period. Project overhead for delays impacting sub-contractors will be determined from actual . documented costs submitted by the Contractor. The granting of time extensions and suspe~ions alone will not be justification for reimbursement for project overhead. c. Home Office Overhead. The Department will not compensate the Contractor for home office overhead. Article 4.4. Requests and Claims for Additional Compensation, Section B., Dispute or Claims Procedure is supplemented by the following: The deadline for filing a claim in accordance with 43 TAC Section 9.2, is the earlier of 1 year after the date of final acceptance, date of default, or date of termination except that claims for warranty enforcement can be made up to 1 year after expiration of the warranty period. 2-2 004---013 01-09 2004 Specifications SPECIAL PROVISION 005---004 Control of the Work For this project, Item 005, "Control of the Work," of the Standard Specifications, is hereby amended with respect to th~ clauses cited below, and no other clauses or requirements of this Item are waived or changed hereby.

Except in the case of Section 6.1 O.A . l .a, "Cleaning and Painting Steel" below, the Department is responsible for testing and removing or disposing of hazardous materials not introduced by the Contractor on sites owned or controlled by the Department as indicated below. The plans will indicate locations where paint on steel is suspected to contain hazardous materials and where regulated asbestos containing materials have been found. The Engineer may suspend work wholly or in part during the testing, removal, or disposition of hazardous materials on sites owned or controlled by the Department, except in the case of Section 6.10.A. l.a. When a visual observation or odor indicates that materials delivered to the work locations by the Contractor may contain hazardous materials, have an approved commercial laboratory test the materials for contamination. Remove, remediate, and dispose of any of these materials found to be contaminated. Testing, removal, and disposition of hazardous materials introduced onto the work locations by the Contractor will be at the Contractor's expense. Working day charges will not be suspended and extensions of working days will not be granted for activities related to handling hazardous material delivered by the Contractor. A. Painted Steel Requirements. As shown on the plans, existing paint on steel may contain hazardous materials. Perform work in accordance with the following: 1. Removing Paint from Steel. 1-2 006---030 01 -07 a. Cleaning and Painting Steel. For contracts that are primarily for painting existing steel, perform the work in accordance with Item 446, "Cleaning and Painting Steel." b. Other Contracts. For all other projects when an existing paint must be removed to perform other work, perform paint removal work in accordance with Item 446, "Cleaning and Painting Steel" unless the paint is shown or determined to contain hazardous materials. If the paint is shown or determined to contain hazardous materials, the Department will provide for a separate contractor to remove paint prior to or during the Contract to allow dismantling of the steel for the Contractor's salvaging, reuse, or recycling or where paint must be removed to perform other work. For steel that is dismantled by unbolting, no paint stripping will be required. Use care to not damage existing paint. When dismantling is performed using flame or saw-cutting methods to remove steel elements coated with paint containing hazardous materials, the plans will show stripping locations. Coordinate with the separate contractor for stripping work to be performed during the Contract. 2. Removal and Disposal of Painted Steel. For Contracts where painted steel is to be removed and disposed ofby the Contractor, painted steel may be reused or disposed of at a steel recycling or smelting facility . If the paint is shown or determined to contain hazardous materials, maintain and make available to the Engineer invoices and other records showing the reuse owner or for recycling, records obtained from the recycling or smelting facility showing the received weight of the steel and the facility name. Painted steel to be retained by the Department will be shown on the plans. B. Asbestos Requirements. The plans will indi cate locations or elements where asbestos containing materials (ACM) have been found. At these locations or at locations where previously unknown ACM has been found, the Department will arrange for abatement by a separate contractor during the Contract. For work at these locations, notify the Engineer of proposed dates of demolition or removal of structural elements with ACM at least 60 days before work is to begin to allow the Department sufficient time to abate the asbestos. When the work by a separate contractor for removal of paint or asbestos abatement is to be performed during the Contract, provide traffic control as shown on the plans and coordinate and cooperate with the separate contractor. Continue other work detailed in the plans not directly involved in the paint removal or asbestos abatement work. Coordinate with the Department the timing of the separate contractor's work in advance in order to allow the Department to schedule work with the separate contractor. Work for the traffic control and other work will not be paid for directly but will be subsidiary to pertinent Items. 2-2 006---030 01-07 2004 Specifications SPECIAL PROVISION 007---213 Legal Relations and Responsibilities For this project, Item 7, "Legal Relations and Responsibilities" of the Standard Specifications, is hereby amended with respect to the clauses cited below, and no other clauses or requirements of this Item are waived or changed hereby. · Article 7.19.

Sample and prepare strength test specimens (2 specimens per test) on the first day of production and for each 3,000 sq. yd. or fraction thereofofconcrete pavement thereafter. Prepare at least I set of strength-test specimens for each production day. Perform slump, air, and temperature tests each time strength specimens are made. Monitor concrete temperature to ensure that concrete is consistently within the temperature requirements. The Engineer will direct random job-control sampling and testing. Immediately investigate and take corrective action as approved if any Contractor test result, including tests performed for verification purposes, does not meet specification requirements . When job-control testing by the Contractor is waived by the plans, the Engineer will perform the testing; however, this does not waive the Contractor's responsibility for providing materials and work in accordance with this Item. 1. Job-Control Strength. Unless otherwise shown on the plans or permitted by the Engineer, use 7-day job- control concrete strength testing in accordance with Tex-448-A or Tex-418-A. For 7-day job-control by flexural strength, use a flexural strength of 520 psi or a lower job-control strength value proven to meet a 28-day flexural strength of 680 psi as correlated in accordance with Tex-427-A.

Accurately place and secure in position all reinforcing steel as shown on the plans. Place dowels at mid-depth of the pavement slab, parallel to the surface. Place dowels for transverse contraction joints parallel to the pavement edge. Tolerances for location and alignment of dowels will be shown on the plans. Stagger the longitudinal reinforcement splices to avoid having more than 1/3 of the splices within a 2-ft. longitudinal length of each lane of the pavement. Use multiple-piece tie bars or drill and epoxy grout tie bars at longitudinal construction joints. Verify that tie bars that are drilled and epoxied into concrete at longitudinal construction joints develop a pullout resistance equal to a minimum of 3/4 of the yield strength of the steel after 7 days. Test 15 bars using ASTM E 488, except that alternate approved equipment may be used. All 15 tested bars must meet the required pullout strength. If any of the test results do not meet the required minimum pullout strength, perform corrective measures to provide equivalent pullout resistance. Repair damage from testing. Acceptable corrective measures include but are not limited to installation of additional or longer tie bars. 1. Manual Placement. Secure reinforcing bars at alternate intersections with wire ties or locking support chairs. Tie all splices with wire. 2. Mechanical Placement If mechanical placement of reinforcement results in steel misalignment or improper location, poor concrete consolidation, or other inadequacies, complete the work using manual methods. ITEM 9800-5 D. Joints. Install joints as shown on the plans. Joint sealants are not required on concrete pavement that is to be overlaid with asphaltic materials.

Placing Reinforcement at Joints. Where the plans require an assembly of parts at pavement joints, complete and place the assembly at the required location and elevation with all parts rigidly secured in the required position. Accurately notch joint materials for the reinforcing steel. 2. Transverse Construction Joints. a. Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement (CRCP). Install additional longitudinal reinforcement through the bulkhead when shown on the plans. Protect the reinforcing steel immediately beyond the construction joint from damage, vibration, and impact. b. Concrete Pavement Contraction Design (CPCD). When the placing of concrete is intentionally stopped, install and rigidly secure a complete joint assembly and bulkhead in the planned transverse contraction joint location. When the placing of concrete is unintentionally stopped , install a transverse construction joint either at a planned transverse contraction joint location or mid-slab between planned transverse contraction joints. For mid-slab construction joints, install tie bars of the size and spacing used in the longitudinal joints. · · c. Curb Joints. Provide joints in the curb of the same type and location as the adjacent pavement. Use expansion joint material of the same thickness, type, and quality required for the pavement and ofthe section shown for the curb . Extend expansion joints through the curb .

Form or saw the weakened plane joint across the full width of concrete pavement and through the monolithic curbs. Construct curb joints in accordance with Item 529, "Concrete Curb, Gutter, and Combined Curb and Gutter." E. Placing and Removing Forms. Use clean and oiled forms. Secure forms on a base or firm subgrade that is accurately graded and that provides stable support without deflection and movement by form riding equipment. Pin every form at least at the middle and near each end . Tightly join and key form sections together to prevent relative displacement. Set side forms far enough in advance of concrete placement to permit inspection. Check conformity of the grade, alignment, and stability of forms immediately before placing concrete, and make all necessary corrections. Use a straightedge or other approved method to test the top of forms to ensure that the ride quality requirements for the completed pavement will be met. Stop paving operations if forms settle or deflect more than 1/8 in. under finishing operations. Reset forms to line and grade, and refinish the concrete surface to correct grade. A vo id damage to the edge of the pavement when removing forms. Repair damage resulting from form removal and honeycombed areas with a mortar mix within 24 hr. after form removal unless otherwise approved. Clean joint face and repair honeycombed or damaged areas within 24 hr . after a bulkhead for a transverse construction joint has been removed unless otherwise approved . When forms are removed before 72 hr. after concrete placement, promptly apply membrane curing compound to the edge of the concrete pavement. Forms that are not the same depth as the pavement but are within 2 in. of that depth are permitted if the sub base is trenched or the full width and ITEM 9800-6 length of the fonn base is supported with a firm material to produce the required pavement thickness. Promptly repair the fonn trench after use. Use flexible or curved wood or metal fonns for curves of 100-ft. radius or less. F. Concrete Delivery. Clean delivery equipment as necessary to prevent accumulation of old concrete before loading fresh concrete. Use agitated delivery equipment for concrete designed to have a slump of more than 5 in. Segregated concrete is subject to rejection. Place agitated concrete within 60 min. after batching . Place non-agitated concrete within 45 min. after batching. In hot weather or under conditions causing quick setting of the concrete, times may be reduced by the Engineer. Time limitations may be extended if the Contractor can demonstrate that the concrete can be properly placed, consolidated, and finished without the use of additional water. G. Concrete Placement. Do not allow the pavement edge to deviate from the established paving line by more than 1/2 in . at any point. Place the concrete as near as possible to its final location, and minimize segregation and rehandling. Where hand spreading is necessary, distribute concrete using shovels. Do not use rakes or vibrators to distribute concrete. 1. Pavement. Consolidate all concrete by approved mechanical vibrators operated on the front of the paving equipment. Use immersion-type vibrators that simultaneously consolidate the full width of the placement when machine finishing. Keep vibrators from dislodging reinforcement. Use hand- operated vibrators to consolidate concrete in areas not accessible to the machine mounted vibrators. Do not operate machine-mounted vibrators while the paving equipment is stationary. Vibrator operations are subject to review. 2. Date Imprinting. Imprint dates in the fresh concrete indicating the date of the concrete placement. Make impressions approximately 1 ft. from the outside longitudinal construction joint or edge of pavement and approximately 1 ft. from the transverse construction joint at the beginning of the placement day. Orient the I impressions to be read from the outside shoulder in the direction of final traffic. Impress date in DD-MM- yy format. Imprinting of the Contractor name or logo in similar size characters to the date is allowed. 3. Curbs. Where curbs are placed separately, conform to the requirements ofitem 529, "Concrete Curb, Gutter, and Combined Curb and Gutter." 4. Temperature Restrictions. Place concrete that is between 40°F and 95°F when measured in accordance with Tex-422-A at the time of discharge, except that concrete may be used if it was already in transit when the temperature was found to exceed the allowable maximum. Take immediate corrective action or cease concrete production when the concrete temperature exceeds 95°F. Do not place concrete when the ambient temperature in the shade is below 40°F and falling unless approved. Concrete may be placed when the ambient temperature in the shade is above 35°F and rising or above 40°F. When temperatures warrant protection against freezing, protect the pavement with an approved insulating material capable of protecting the concrete for the specified curing period. Submit for approval proposed measures to protect the concrete from anticipated freezing weather for the first 72 hr. after placement. Repair or replace all concrete damaged by freezing. H. Spreading and Finishing. Finish all concrete pavement with approved self-propelled equipment. Use power-driven spreaders, power-driven vibrators, power-driven strike-off, and screed, or approved alternate ITEM 9800-7 equipment. Use the transverse finishing equipment to compact and strike off the concrete to the required section and grade without surface voids. Use float equipment for final finishing. Use concrete with a consistency that allows completion of all finishing operations without addition of water to the surface. Use the minimal amount of water fog mist necessary to maintain a moist surf ace. Reduce fogging if float or straightedge operations result in excess slurry. 1. Finished Surface. Perform sufficient checks with long-handled 10-ft. and 15-ft. straightedges on the plastic concrete to ensure that the final surface is within the tolerances specified in Surface Test A in Item 585, "Ride Quality for Pavement Surfaces ." Check with the straightedge parallel to the centerline. 2. Maintenance of Surface Moisture. Prevent surface drying of the pavement before application of the curing system. Accomplish this by fog applications of evaporation retardant on the pavement surface. Apply evaporation retardant at the rate recommended by the manufacturer. Reapply the evaporation retardant as needed to maintain the concrete surface in a moist condition until curing system is applied. Do not use evaporation retardant as a finishing aid. Failure to take acceptable precautions to prevent surface drying of the pavement will be cause for shut down of pavement operations. 3. Surface Texturing. Perform surface texturing using a combination of a carpet drag and metal tining. Complete final texturing before the concrete has attained its initial set. Draw the carpet drag longitudinally along the pavement surface with the carpet contact surface area adjusted to provide a satisfactory coarsely textured surface. A metal-tine texture finish is required unless otherwise shown on the plans. Provide the metal-tine finish immediately after the concrete surface has set enough for consistent tining. Operate the metal-tine device to obtain grooves spaced at 1 in., approximately 3/16 in . deep, with a minimum depth of 1/8 in., and approximately 1/12 in. wide. Do not overlap a previously tined area. Use manual methods for achieving similar results on ramps and other irregular sections of pavements. Repair damage to the edge of the slab and joints immediately after texturing. Do not tine pavement that will be overlaid. 4. Small or Irregular Placements. Where machine placements and finishing of concrete pavement are not practical, use hand equipment and procedures that produce a consolidated and finished pavement section to ~~~~ . 5. Emergency Procedures. Use hand-operated equipment for applying texture, evaporation retardant, and cure in the event of equipment breakdown. I. Curing. Keep the concrete pavement surface from drying by water fogging until the curing material has been applied. Maintain and promptly repair damage to curing materials on exposed surfaces of concrete pavement continuously for at least 3 curing days. A curing day is defined as a 24-hr. period when either the temperature taken in the shade away from artificial heat is above 50°F for at least 19 hr. or when the surface temperature of the concrete is maintained above 40°F for 24 hr. Curing begins when the concrete curing system has been applied. Stop concrete paving if curing compound is not being applied promptly and maintained adequately. Other methods of curing in accordance with Item 420, "Concrete Structures," may be used when specified or approved. 1. Membrane Curing. After texturing and immediately after the free surface moisture has disappeared, spray the concrete surface uniformly with 2 coats of membrane curing compound at an individual application rate of ITEM 9800-8 not more than 180 sq. ft. per gallon. Apply the first coat within 10 min. after completing texturing operations. Apply the second coat within 30 min. after completing texturing operations. Before and during application, maintain curing compounds in a uniformly agitated condition, free of settlement. Do not thin or dilute the curing compound. Where the coating shows discontinuities or other defects or if rain falls on the newly coated surface before the film has dried enough to resist damage, apply additional compound at the same rate of coverage to correct the damage. Ensure that the curing compound coats the sides of the tining grooves. 2. Asphalt Curing. When an asphaltic concrete overlay is required, apply a uniform coating of asphalt curing at a rate of 90 to 180 sq. ft. per gallon as required. Apply curing immediately after texturing and just after the free moisture (sheen) has disappeared. Obtain approval to add water to the emulsion to improve spray distribution. Maintain the asphalt application rate when using diluted emulsions. Maintain the emulsion in a mixed condition during application. 3. Curing Class HES Concrete. For all Class HES concrete pavement, provide membrane curing in accordance with Section 9800.4.I.1, "Membrane Curing," followed promptly by water curing until opening strength is achieved but not less than 24 hr. J. Sawing Joints. Saw joints to the depth shown on the plans as soon as sawing can be accomplished without damage to the pavement regardless of time of day or weather conditions. Some minor raveling of the saw cut is acceptable. Use a chalk line, string line, sawing template, or other approved method to provide a true joint alignment. Provide enough saws to match the paving production rate to ensure sawing completion at the earliest possible time to avoid uncontrolled cracking. Reduce paving production if necessary to ensure timely sawing of joints. Promptly restore membrane cure damaged within the first 72 hr: of curing. K. Protection of Pavement and Opening to Traffic. Testing for early opening is the responsibility of the Contractor regardless of job-control testing responsibilities unless otherwise shown in the plans or directed. Testing result interpretation for opening to traffic is subject to the approval of the Engineer. 1. Protection of Pavement. Erect and maintain barricades and other standard and approved devices that will exclude all vehicles and equipment from the newly placed pavement for the periods specified. Before opening to traffic, protect the pavement from damage due to crossings using approved methods. Where a detour is not readily available or economically feasible, an occasional crossing of the roadway with overweight equipment may be permitted for relocating equipment only but not for hauling material. When an occasional crossing of overweight equipment is permitted, temporary matting or other approved methods may be required. Maintain an adequate supply of sheeting or other material to cover and protect fresh concrete surface from weather damage. Apply as needed to protect the pavement surface from weather. 2. Opening Pavement to All Traffic. Pavement that is 7 days old may be opened to all traffic. Before opening to traffic, clean pavement, place stable material against the pavement edges, seal joints, and perform all other traffic safety related work. ITEM 9800-9 3. Opening Pavement to Construction Equipment. Unless otherwise shown on the plans, concrete pavement may be opened early to concrete paving equipment and related delivery equipment after the concrete is at least 48 hr. old and opening strength has been demonstrated in accordance with Section 9800.4.K4, "Early Opening to All Traffic," before curing is complete. Keep delivery equipment at least 2 ft. from the edge of the concrete pavement. Keep tracks of the paving equipment at least 1 ft. from the pavement edge. Protect textured surfaces from the paving equipment. Restore damaged membrane curing as soon as possible. Repair pavement damaged by paving or delivery equipment before opening to all traffic. 4. Early Opening to All Traffic. Concrete pavement may be opened after curing is complete and the concrete has attained a flexural strength of 450 psi or a compressive strength of2,800 psi, except that pavement using Class HES concrete may be opened after 24 hr. if the specified strength is achieved. a. Strength Testing. Test concrete specimens cured under the same conditions as the portion of the pavement involved. b. Maturity Method. Unless otherwise shown on the plans, the maturity method, Tex-426-A, may be used to estimate concrete strength for early opening pavement to traffic. Install at least 2 maturity thermocouples for each day's placement in areas where the maturity method will be used for early opening. hermocouples, when used, will be installed near the days final placement for areas being evaluated for early opening. Use test specimens to verify the strength-maturity relationship in accordance with Tex-426-A, starting with the first day's placement corresponding to the early opening pavement section. After the first day, verify the strength-maturity relationship at least every 10 days of production. Establish a new strength-maturity relationship when the strength specimens deviate more than 10% from the maturity-estimated strengths. Suspend use of the maturity method for opening pavements to traffic when the strength-maturity relationship deviates by more than 10% until a new strength-maturity relationship is established. When the maturity method is used intermittently or for only specific areas, the frequency of verification will be as determined by the Engineer. 5. Emergency Opening to Traffic. Under emergency conditions, when the pavement is at least 72 hr. old, open the pavement to traffic when directed in writing. Remove all obstructing materials, place stable material against the pavement edges, and perform other work involved in providing for the safety of traffic as required for emergency opening. L. Pavement Thickness. The Engineer will check the thickness in accordance with Tex-423-A unless other methods are shown on the plans. The Engineer will perform 1 thickness test consisting of 1 reading at approximately the center of each lane every 500 ft. or fraction thereof. Core where directed in accordance with Tex-424-A to verify deficiencies of more than 0.2 in. from plan thickness and to determine the limits of deficiencies of more than 0.75 in. from plan thickness. Fill core holes using a concrete mixture and method approved by the Engineer. 1. Thickness Deficiencies Greater than 0.2 in. When any depth test measured in accordance with Tex-423- A is deficient by more than 0.2 in. from the plan thickness, take one 4-in. diameter core at that location to verify the measurement. If the core is deficient by more than 0.2 in. but not by more than 0.75 in. from the plan thickness, take 2 additional cores from the unit at intervals of at least 150 ft. and at locations selected by the Engineer, and determine the thickness of the unit for payment purposes by averaging the length of the 3 ITEM 9800-10 cores. In calculations of the average thickness of this unit of pavement, measurements in excess of the specified thickness by more than 0.2 in. will be considered as the specified thickness plus 0.2 in. 2. Thickness Deficiencies Greater than 0.75 in. If a core is deficient by more than 0.75 in., take additional cores at 10 ft. intervals in each direction parallel to the centerline to determine the boundary of the deficient area. The Engineer will evaluate any area of pavement found deficient in thickness by more than 0.75 in . but not more than 1 in. As directed, remove and replace the deficient areas without additional compensation or retain deficient areas without compensation. Remove and replace any area of pavement found deficient in thickness by more than 1 in. without additional compensation. M. Ride Quality.

Compliance consists of: (a) meeting or exceeding the DBE percentage participation goals established for this solicitation; or (b) demonstrating good faith efforts to meet such participation goals; or (c) demonstrating that the solicitation comes within the exception to the DBE percentage participation goals as being a procurement for a Page 13 2009 standard manufactured item, or other similar procurement not open to sub-contracting opportunities. In order to demonstrate compliance through its "good faith efforts" to obtain the DBE percentage participation goals, a Bidder must submit with its bid sufficient information to enable The T to determine that the efforts made by the Bidder to obtain DBE participation were such efforts that a Bidder actively and aggressively sought to meet the goals. Actions or efforts which are merely "pro forma" or "going through the motions" do not constitute good faith efforts to obtain the participation of DBEs. Simiiarly, even efforts which are sincerely motivated but which, given all circumstances relevant to the particular solicitation, could not be reasonably expected to produce a level of DBE participation sufficient to meet the goal do not constitute good faith efforts . In determining whether a Bidder has made a good faith effort to obtain the DBE participation percentage goal, The Twill not only look at the kinds of efforts that the Bidder has made, but also the quality and intensity of these efforts. To assist The T in making the required judgment concerning fulfillment of good faith efforts, the Department of Transportation has prepared a list illustrating the kinds of actions which would indicate that a Bidder has made a good faith effort. These kinds of efforts include: (i) Bidder attended pre-bid meetings scheduled by The T to inform DBEs of contracting and sub-contracting opportunities; (ii) Bidder selected portions of the work to be performed by certified DBEs in order to increase the likelihood of meeting the DBE goal (including, where appropriate, breaking down contracts into economically feasible units to facilitate DBE participation); · (iii) Bidder advertised in general circulation, trade association, and/or minority focus medial concerning the sub-contracting opportunities; (iv) Bidder provided written notice to a reasonable number of specified DBEs that their interest in the procurement was being solicited, in sufficient time to allow such DBEs to participate effectively; (v) Bidder followed up initial solicitations of interest by contacting DBEs to determine with certainty whether the DBEs were interested; (vi) Bidder provided interested DBEs with adequate information about the plans, specifications and requirement of the solicitation; (vii) Bidder negotiated in good faith with interested DBEs, not rejecting DBEs as unqualified without sound reasons based on their investigation of the capabilities; (viii) Bidder made efforts to assist interested DBEs in obtaining bonding, lines of credit, or insurance required by The T or the Bidder as prime Contractor; (ix) Bidder effectively used the services of available minority community organizations; minority contractor groups; local, state and federal minority business assistance offices; and other organizations that provide assistance in the recruitment and placement of DB Es (such as those DBE Assistance Organizations listed under (a.) of this SECTION 15). This is not intended to be an inventory or checklist. DOT does not require The T to insist that any Bidder do any particular one or any combination of the items on this Hst. It is not intended to be an exclusive or exhaustive list of all actions a Bidder, acting in good faith actively and Page 14 2009 aggressively seeking to obtain DBE participation would make . Other types of efforts or factors may be relevant in appropriate cases.

Th is documentation consists of completion of the relevant statements appearing on pages F3 through F9 of FORMS PACKET of this bid packet, and attaching additional relevant documentation and information where specified.

All information relative to the particular method of Bidder's compliance as set out on pages 21 and 22 of Section 15 must be submitted with the bid. Any bidder may also include any additional information it believes would be helpful in demonstrating to The T its compliance with The T DBE Policy Program.

(ii) If Bidder is not a certified DBE but the bid meets the percentage participation goals either through a joint venture or subcontracting with certified DBE entities, Bidder should place a mark by Statement No. 1 on The T DBE COMPLIANCE STATEMENT and complete the information on The T SCHEDULE OF DBE UTILIZATION for all DBE sub-contracting and joint venturers. If Bidder is not a certified DBE and its bid does not meet the percentage participation goals established for this contract, but Bidder has some DBE participation and wishes to qualify for the contract on the basis of its "good faith efforts" to so comply, Bidder should place a mark by Statement No. 2 on The T DBE COMPLIANCE STATEMENT, complete The T SCHEDULE OF DBE UTILIZATION (including dollar amount of work) for all certified DBE sub-contractors or joint venture participants and complete The T GOOD FAITH EFFORT DOCUMENTATION giving details as Page 15 (cJ) 2009 to all other DBEs Bidder contacted in connection with participation in the work to be performed by the winner of this solicitation. In addition, in order to show good faith efforts, Bidder should attach an additional statement showing what other efforts Bidder made in actively and aggressively seeking to meet the percentage participation goals. An illustrative list of some of those actions is included in the discussion under COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS (Section 15 (b) of this attachment). (iii) If Bidder is not a certified DBE and the percentage participation by certified DBEs in its bid fails to meet the goal set for this contract, but Bidder believes that the subject matter of the contract comes within the exception to the percentage participation goal requirements of the DBE policy, Bidder should place a mark by Statement No. 3 on The T DBE COMPLIANCE STATEMENT providing exception information in the space provided, and complete The T SCHEDULE OF DBE UTILIZATION showing "none." If there is insufficient space on The T DBE Compliance Statement, then attach a statement explaining fully the facts on which Bidder bases its belief that the solicitation is for the "procurement of a standard manufactured item or other similar procurement not open to sub-contracting opportunities". The attached statement should be titled "The T DBE Compliance Statement -Exception Information", or similarly. COUNTING PARTICIPATION TOW ARD MEETING DBE GOAL DBE participation shall be counted toward meeting goals set in accordance with DOT's DBE regulations at 49 CFR Part 26 and The T's program as follows: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) Once a firm is determined to be a certified DBE in accordance with the provisions specified in this program, the total dollar value of the contract or subcontract awarded to it is counted toward the applicable goal, if the contract is a fixed price contract. For other types of contracts, only actual payments to the certified DBE will be counted toward the applicable goal. The Fort Worth Transportation Authority or the contractor employing a certified DBE firm may count toward its goals a portion of the total dollar value of a contract with a joint venture eligible under the DBE eligibility criteria specified herein equal to the percentage of the ownership and control of the certified DBE partner in the joint venture. The Fort Worth Transportation Authority or a contractor will count toward its goal only expenditures to certified DBEs that perform a commercially useful function in the work of a contract. A certified DBE is considered to perform a commercially useful function when it is responsible for execution of a distinct element of the work of a contract and carrying out its responsibilities by actually performing, managing, and supervising the work involved. To determine whether a certified DBE is performing a commercially useful function, The T or a contractor shall evaluate the amount of work subcontracted, industry practices, and other relevant factors. Consistent with normal industry practices, a DBE may enter into subcontracts. If a DBE contractor subcontracts a significantly greater portion of the work of the contract than would be expected on the basis of normal industry practices, the DBE shall be presumed not to be performing a commercially useful function. The DBE may present evidence to rebut this presumption to The T. The Fort Worth Transportation Authority's decision on the rebuttal of this resumption is final, subject to review by the Department of Transportation in instances of DOT-assisted contracts. Page 16 (v) 2009 The Fort Worth Transportation Authority or a contractor may count toward its DBE goals expenditures for materials and supplies obtained from certified DBE suppliers and manufactures provided that the DBEs assume the actual and contractual responsibility for the provision of the materials and supplies. The Fort Worth Transportation Authority or a contractor may count its entire expenditure to a certified DBE manufacturer (i.e., a supplier that produces goods from raw materials or substantially alters them before resal~). The Fort Worth Transportation Authority will count 60 percent of its expenditures to certified DBE suppliers that are not manufacturers, provided that such suppliers perform a commercially useful function in the supply process.

If the edge of existing concrete pavement is damaged during the construction of adjacent pavement; the damaged panel(s) must be removed and replaced in its entirety by the Contractor at his own expense . 5. APPLICATION AND FINAL DETERMINATION OF POLICY It is not the intention of this policy that the Contractor is required to remove and replace at his own expense any concrete that cracks due primarily to causes other than his own materials and/or workmanship . While cracks may be caused by a combination of factors, a primary cause can be determined . It is the policy that if a deficiency of materials and/or workmanship be found to be the primary cause of a crack or cracks , then the contractor shall remove and replace the panels that contain the structural crack or cracks at no expense to the City . If cracks exist in the project, the C ity Engineer or his/her designee will make the determination if the crack is minor or structural. If the crack is structural , the Contractor and the City will attempt to agree on the cause or causes of the crack. If the Contractor and City agree that the cause of a structural crack requiring removal and replacement is due primarily to Contractor's deficient materia l or workmanship, the concrete pavement will be removed and replaced at Con tracto r's entire expense . If the Contractor and .City cannot agree as to the cause of a structural crack, the City may hire an independent geotechnical engineer to perform testing and analysis to determine the cause of the crack. The contractor will escrow 50% of the proposed costs of the geotechn ical contract with the City . The contractor and the City shall use the services of a geotechnical firm acceptable to both parties . If the geotechnical eng ineer determines that the primary cause of a structural crack is due to Contractor's deficient material or workmanship, the deficient concrete pavement will be removed and replaced at Contractor's entire expense and the Contractor will also pay the City for the balance of the cost of the geotechnical investigation over and above the amount that has previously been escrowed. If the geotechnical engineer determines that the primary cause of the structural crack is not due to Contractor's deficient material or workmanship , the concrete pavement will not be removed and replaced without additional compensation to the Contractor. In turn, the Rev 2-19-10 SP-38 r- Contractor's escrowed funds, as described above , will be released . 70 .
