Cato Elementary Safe Routes to School Project (2022 Bond Program) RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council authorize execution of a contract with C C Zamora Construction, Inc., in the amount of $1,547,925.00, for the A.V. Cato Elementary Safe Routes to School project (City Project No. 104799). DISCUSSION: The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to authorize execution of a contract with C C Zamora Construction, Inc., in the amount of $1,547,925.00 for the A.V. Cato Elementary Safe Routes to School project (City Project No.104799). The scope of work for the project consists of constructing new sidewalks and implementing pedestrian crossing safety improvements on multiple streets in the vicinity of A V Cato Elementary School. These improvements include approximately 2.3 miles of new 5-foot wide concrete sidewalks with associated Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant curb ramps, the installation of curb and gutter, construction of concrete splitter islands to improve pedestrian refuge, installation of Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) signals, and relocation of fire hydrant(s). The City of Fort Worth advertised for the construction of the A.V. Cato Elementary Safe Routes to School project in the Fort Worth Star -Telegram on September 17, 2025, and September 25, 2025. The project was bid using a low -bid procurement method. On October 16, 2025, the City received the following 2 bids: Bidder Amount CC Zamora Construction, Inc. $1,547,925.00 Tegrity Contractors Inc. $1,985,777.00 The Transportation and Public Works Department reviewed the bids and determined that C C Zamora Construction, Inc., was the lowest responsive bidder. The low bid was approximately 14 percent below the engineer's pre -bid estimate of $1,797,808.00 and approximately 12 percent below the bid average of $1,766,851.00. This project will be constructed through a previously executed Advance Funding Agreement (AFA) with TxDOT (M&C 23-0876; City Secretary Contract No. 60483; CSJ 0902-90-294). This project includes federal funding with City participation. The City's participation is funded through the 2022 Bond Program Fund. TxDOT has concurred with this bid award. The City defers to the State's small or disadvantaged business goal procedures, thus the City's small business goal does not apply. The state has rescinded its goal program. Total project funding as follows: Fund 34027- 2022 Bond Program 31001- Grants Cap Projects Federal Total Amount Total M&C $1,636,031.00 $1,636,031.00 23-0876; 24-1087 $1,962,810.00 $1,962,810.00 23-0876 $3,598,841.00 $3,598,841.00 apps. cfwnet.org/cou ncil_packet/mc_review.asp?I D=34188&counci Idate=2/24/2026 1 /2 2/19/26, 8:58 AM M&C Review Funding for this project is included within the 2022 Bond Program Fund, the City's Extendable Commercial Paper (ECP) Program (M&C 22-0607; Ordinance No. 25675-08-2022) provides liquidity to support the appropriation.

ELIGIBILITY OF BIDDERS TxDOT Prequalification is not required or to be used on this project. City of Fort Worth prequalification requirements do apply. 3. ISSUING PROPOSAL FORMS The Owner will issue a proposal form to a prequalified Bidder if the Engineer's estimate is within that Bidder's available bidding capacity.

OPENING AND READING OF BIDS At the time, date, and location specified in the official advertisement, the Letting Official will publicly open and read bids. 11. TABULATING BIDS 11.1. Official Total Bid Amount. The Owner will sum the products of the quantities and the unit prices bid on the proposal form to determine the official total bid amount, except as provided in Section 2L.11.5., "Consideration of Unit Prices." 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. 11.2. Consideration of Bid Format. When a Bidder submits both an electronic bid and a printed bid that are responsive, the unit bid prices in the electronic bid will be used to determine the total bid amount. If the electronic bid is incomplete or nonresponsive, the printed bid will be used in the tabulation of the total bid amount. If a Bidder submits two or more printed bids, all responsive bids will be tabulated. The bid with the lowest tabulation will be used to determine the total bid amount. 11.3. Rounding of Unit Prices. The Owner 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 that contain five -hundredths of a cent ($0.0005) or more will be rounded up to the next highest tenth of a cent, while entries that contain less than five -hundredths of a cent will be rounded down to the next lowest tenth of a cent and in accordance with Section 2L.11.5., "Consideration of Unit Prices." Bids less than one -tenth of a cent ($0.001) will be rounded to one -tenth of a cent ($0.001). When credit items are included (negative unit prices), rounding is performed on the absolute value. 11.4. Interpretation of Unit Prices. The Owner will make a documented determination of the unit bid price if a unit bid price is illegible or conflicting in the case of replacement alternate items. The Owner's determination will be final. 11.5. Consideration of Unit Prices. Unit bid price entries such as no dollars and no cents, zero dollars and zero cents, or numerical entries of less than $0.001 will be tabulated as one -tenth of a cent ($0.001). Proposals in which unit bid prices have been left blank are incomplete and nonresponsive. 11.5.1. Alternate Items. If a proposal has a regular and corresponding alternate item or group of items, the proposal will be considered complete if: ■ the regular item or group of regular items has unit prices entered, ■ the alternate item or group of alternate items has unit prices entered, or ■ both regular item or group of regular items and alternate item or group of alternate items have unit prices entered. The Owner will use the price bid for the regular or the alternate item, or group of items, that will result in the lowest cost to the State. The bid will be considered incomplete and nonresponsive if: ■ a regular item or group of regular items is left blank, or ■ a corresponding alternate item or group of alternate items is left blank. 11.5.2. Additive Alternate Items. The Owner will sum the products of the quantities and the unit prices bid for the regular items on the proposal form to determine the total bid amount for the base bid. The official total bid 2024 Specifications 2L amount will be determined by the summation of the base bid plus a predetermined order of additive alternate items, not to exceed the Owner's budgeted amount for the Contract. An estimate of the budgeted amount may be shown on the plans. The Contract will identify the base bid work and additive alternate work to be performed. The Owner makes no guarantee that the additive alternate work will be required. 11.5.3. A + B Bidding. The official total bid amount will be determined by the summation of the Contract amount and the time element. The Owner will use the following formula to make the calculation: A + B1 + B2 + BX + ... + BT The Contract amount, equal to A in the formula, is determined by the summation of the products of the approximate quantities shown in the proposal and the unit bid prices bid, and the time element, equal to B1, B2, BX (when phases are included as bid components), and BT (substantial completion of the project when included as a bid component), of the bid is determined by multiplying the number of working days bid to substantially complete the project, or phases, by the daily road -user cost (RUC) shown on the plans. When partial days are bid, they will be rounded up to the nearest whole day. The formula above determines the low Bidder and establishes the Contract time or time for specific phases of the Contract. 11.5.4. Rubber Additives. For proposed Contracts without federal funds, if an alternate item for "Hot Asphalt - Rubber Surface Treatments" or "Hot -Mix Asphalt Concrete Pavement" that contains ground tire rubber is shown on the proposal 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. 11.5.5. Home State Bidding Preference. For the purpose of determining the apparent low Bidder on proposed Contracts without federal funds, the Owner will select the option that results in the greatest bidding preference to the resident Bidder. 11.5.5.1. Reverse Application of Non -Resident Bidder's Home State Bidding Preference. The total bid amount will be based upon the reverse application of the non-resident Bidder's home state bidding preference, if any. This will also apply to another state's preference for a Bidder that offers materials grown, produced, processed, or manufactured in that state. Any reverse application of the home state bidding preference will be the greater of the following: ■ the amount by which a resident Bidder would be required to underbid the non-resident Bidder to obtain a comparable contract in the state in which the non-resident's principal place of business is located; or ■ the amount by which a resident Bidder would be required to underbid the non-resident Bidder to obtain a comparable contract in the state in which a majority of the manufacturing relating to the Contract will be performed. 11.5.5.2. Texas Home State Bidding Preference. A Bidder will be considered the apparent low Bidder if the Bidder's home office is located in this state and their bid does not exceed an amount equal to 105% of the apparent low bid received from a Bidder whose home office is not located in this state. This will not apply to a Bidder from a bordering state whose state does not give a preference to a Bidder in a manner similar to this Section. 12. CONSIDERATION OF BID ERRORS The Owner will consider a claim of a bid error by the apparent low Bidder if the following requirements have been met: 2024 Specifications 2L ■ a written notification is submitted to the Owner within 5 business days after the date the bid is opened and ■ the submittal identifies the items of work involved and includes bidding documentation. The Owner may request clarification of submitted documentation. The Owner will evaluate the claim of a bid 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, and ■ the delay of the proposed work will not impact cost and safety to the public. Acceptance of the bid error claim by the Owner will result in the rejection of all bids. The erring Contractor will not be allowed to bid the project when it is re -let. Rejection of bids due to the Contractor's bid error may result in the application of remedial actions by the Owner. 13. TIE BIDS If the official total bid amount for two or more Bidders is equal and those bids are the lowest submitted, each tie Bidder will be given an opportunity to withdraw their bid. If two or more tie Bidders do not withdraw their bids, the low Bidder will be determined by a coin toss or a series of coin tosses when there are more than two Bidders. If all tie Bidders request to withdraw their bids, no withdrawals will be allowed and the low Bidder will be determined by a coin toss or a series of coin tosses when there are more than two Bidders. The Letting Official will preside over the proceedings. 2024 Specifications Addendum No. I X Item 3L Award and Execution of Contract 1. AWARD OF CONTRACT o Texas Department of Transportation The Owner or original award authority will award, reject, or defer the Contract within 90 days after the opening of the proposal.

The workers' compensation policy must include a waiver of subrogation endorsement in favor of the Owner. For building -facilities contracts, provide all risk builder's risk insurance to protect the Owner against loss by storm, fire, or extended coverage perils on work and materials intended for use on the project, including the adjacent structure. Name the Owner under the Lost Payable clause. For contracts with railroad requirements, see project -specific details for additional insurance requirements. 2024 Specifications 3L Provide a substitute Surety on the Contract bonds in the original full Contract amount within 15 days of notification if the Surety is declared bankrupt or insolvent, the Surety's underwriting limitation drops below the Contract amount or the Surety's right to do business is terminated by the Owner. The substitute Surety must be authorized by the laws of the Owner and acceptable to the Owner. Work will be suspended until a substitute Surety is provided. Working day charges will be suspended for 15 days or until an acceptable Surety is provided, whichever is sooner. The work performed under this Section will not be measured or paid for directly, but will be subsidiary to pertinent Items. 4.4. Business Ownership Information. Submit the names and Social Security numbers of all individuals owning 25% or more of the firm, or firms in the case of a joint venture, on the Owner's form. 4.5. Railroad Documents.

Comply with the requirements of Article 5L.8., "Cooperation with Railroads." 5. FAILURE TO ENTER CONTRACT If the Contractor fails to comply with all the requirements in Article 31-.4., "Execution of Contract," the proposal guaranty will become the property of the Owner, not as a penalty, but as liquidated damages. The Contractor forfeiting the proposal guaranty will not be considered in future proposals for the same work unless there has been a substantial change in design of the work. 6. APPROVAL AND EXECUTION OF CONTRACT The Contract will be approved and signed under authority of the Owner. 7. RETURN OF PROPOSAL GUARANTY The proposal guaranty check of the low Bidder will be retained until after the Contract has been rejected or awarded and executed. Bid bonds will not be returned. 8. BEGINNING OF WORK Do not begin work until authorized in writing by the Owner. Verify all quantities of materials shown on the plans before ordering. 9. ASSIGNMENT OF CONTRACT Do not assign, sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of the Contract or any portion of the rights, title, or interest (including claims) without the approval of the Owner or original award authority. The Owner must deem any proposed assignment justified and legally acceptable before the assignment can take place. 10. EXCLUDED PARTIES The Contractor certifies by signing the Contract that the Contractor will not enter into any subcontract with a subcontractor that is debarred or suspended by the Owner or any federal agency. 2024 Specifications Addendum No. I 8L Item 8L Prosecution and Progress 1. PROSECUTION OF WORK o Texas Department of Transportation Begin work within 30 calendar days after the authorization date to begin work. Prosecute the work continuously to completion within the working days specified. Unless otherwise shown on the plans, work may be prosecuted in concurrent phases if no changes are required to the traffic control plan or if a revised traffic control plan is approved. Notify the Engineer at least 24 hr. before beginning work or before beginning any new operation. Do not start new operations to the detriment of work already begun. Minimize interference to traffic. 2. SUBCONTRACTING Do not sublet any portion of a construction Contract without the Engineer's written approval. A subcontract does not relieve any responsibility under the Contract and bonds. Ensure that all subcontracted work complies with all governing labor provisions. The Contractor certifies by signing the Contract that the Contractor will not enter into any subcontract with a subcontractor that is debarred or suspended by the Commission, Owner, or any federal agency. For federally funded contracts, ensure the required federal documents are physically attached to each subcontract agreement, including all tiered subcontract agreements. Upon request, submit a copy of the executed non -DBE subcontracts, including all tiered non -DBE subcontracts. 2.1. Construction Contracts and Federally Funded Maintenance Contracts. Perform work with own organization on at least 30% of the total original Contract cost (25% if the Contractor is an SBE on a wholly State- or local -funded Contract), excluding any specialty items as determined by the Engineer. Specialty items are those that require highly specialized knowledge, abilities, or equipment not usually available in the contracting firm expected to bid on the proposed Contract as a whole. Specialty items will be shown on the plans or as determined by the Engineer. Bid cost of specialty items performed by subcontractors will be deducted from the total original Contract cost before computing the required amount of work to be performed by the Contractor's own organization. The term "perform work with own organization" includes only: ■ workers employed and paid directly by the Contractor or wholly owned subsidiary; ■ equipment owned by the Contractor or wholly owned subsidiary; ■ rented or leased equipment operated by the Contractor's employees or wholly owned subsidiary's employees; ■ materials incorporated into the work if the majority of the value of the work involved in incorporating the material is performed by the Contractor's own organization, including a wholly owned subsidiary's organization; and 2024 Specifications 8L ■ labor provided by staff leasing firms licensed under Chapter 91 of the Texas Labor Code for nonsupervisory personnel if the Contractor or wholly owned subsidiary maintains direct control over the activities of the leased employees and includes them in the weekly payrolls. Mobilization is not included in calculation of 30%. When staff leasing firms provide materials or equipment, they are considered subcontractors. In these instances, submit staff leasing firms for approval as a subcontractor. Copies of canceled checks and certified statements may be required to verify compliance with the requirements of this Section. 2.2. State -Funded Maintenance Contracts. Not applicable to locally let projects. 2.3.1. Payment Records. Make payment and related records, including but not limited to copies of canceled checks, available for inspection by the Owner. Retain payment records for a period of 3 yr. following the completion of the Contract. 2.4. Payrolls. Comply with Article 7L.19., "Payrolls." 3. COMPUTATION OF CONTRACT TIME FOR COMPLETION The number of working days is established by the Contract. For Contracts with work orders, the number of working days is established in each work order. Working day charges will begin when work begins as prescribed in Article 8L.1., "Prosecution of Work." Working day charges will continue in accordance with the Contract. The development of the conceptual time determination is intended to establish the number of working days on the Contract. Upon request, the Engineer will provide the conceptual time determination schedule to the Contractor for informational purposes only. The schedule assumes generic resources, production rates, sequences of construction and average weather conditions based on historic data. Schedule labor, equipment, procurement of materials, subcontractor work, and all other necessary means to prosecute the work within the number of working days specified by the Contract. 3.1. Working Day Charges. Working days will be charged in accordance with Section 8L.3.1.4., "Standard Workweek," unless otherwise shown on the plans. Working days will be computed and charged in accordance with one of the following: 3.1.1. Five -Day Workweek. Working days will be charged Monday —Friday, excluding national holidays, regardless of weather conditions or material availability. The Contractor has the option of working on Saturdays. Provide sufficient advance notice to the Engineer when scheduling work on Saturdays. Work on Sundays and national holidays will not be permitted without written permission of the Engineer. If work requiring an Inspector to be present or if critical path activities are performed on a Saturday, Sunday, or national holiday, and weather and other conditions permit the performance of work for 7 hr. between 7 A.M. and 6 P.M., a working day will be charged. 3.1.2. Six -Day Workweek. Working days will be charged Monday —Saturday, excluding national holidays, regardless of weather conditions or material availability. Work on Sundays and national holidays will not be permitted without written permission of the Engineer. If work requiring an Inspector to be present or if critical path activities are performed on a Sunday or a national holiday, and weather or other conditions permit the performance of work for 7 hr. between 7 A.M. and 6 P.M., a working day will be charged. 2024 Specifications 8L 3.1.3. Seven -Day Workweek. Working days will be charged Monday —Sunday, excluding national holidays, regardless of weather conditions or material availability. Work on national holidays will not be permitted without written permission of the Engineer. If work or critical path activities requiring an Inspector to be present are performed on any of these holidays, and weather or other conditions permit the performance of work for 7 hr. between 7 A.M. and 6 P.M., a working day will be charged. 3.1.4. Standard Workweek. Working days will be charged Monday —Friday, excluding national or State holidays, if weather or other conditions permit the performance of the principal unit of work underway, as determined by the Engineer, for a continuous period of at least 7 hr. between 7:00 A.M. and 6:00 P.M., unless otherwise shown in the Contract. The Contractor has the option of working on Saturdays or State holidays. Provide sufficient advance notice to the Engineer when scheduling work on Saturdays. Work on Sundays and national holidays will not be permitted without written permission of the Engineer. If work requiring an Inspector to be present or critical path activities are performed on a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday, and weather or other conditions permit the performance of work for 7 hr. between 7 A.M. and 6 P.M., a working day will be charged. 3.1.5. Calendar Day. Working days will be charged Sunday —Saturday, including all holidays, regardless of weather conditions, material availability, or other conditions not under the control of the Contractor. 3.1.6. City of Fort Worth Calendar Day. Working days will be charged Sunday —Saturday, including all holidays, regardless of weather conditions, material availability, or other conditions not under the control of the Contractor. All days, including those which the contractor is denied the ability to work based on the City's observed holidays or working hours, will still be charged. See below for further clarification on the City's observed holidays and working hours. City of Fort Worth Holidays. The following are City observed holidays: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr.'s Birthday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, the Friday following Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. City of Fort Worth Working Hours and Days. The Contractor's Regular Working Hours are 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, excluding City of Fort Worth Holidays. For working beyond these hours, the Contractor must request this time in writing by noon at least two (2) Business Days prior. Weekend and Holiday Working Hours begin at 9:00 a.m. and end at 5:00 p.m. Requests for Holiday Working Hours must be made by noon two (2) Business Days prior to the legal holiday. Any exceptions shall be coordinated in advance with inspector. 3.2. Restricted Work Hours. Restrictions on Contractor work hours and the related definition for working day charges are as prescribed in this Article unless otherwise shown on the plans. 3.3. Nighttime Work. Nighttime work is allowed only when shown on the plans or directed or allowed by the Engineer. Nighttime work is defined as work performed from 30 min. after sunset to 30 min. before sunrise. 3.3.1. Five-, Six-, and Seven -Day Workweeks. Nighttime work that extends past midnight will be assigned to the following day for the purposes of approval for allowing work on Sundays or national holidays. 3.3.2. Standard Workweek. 3.3.2.1. Nighttime Work Only. When nighttime work is allowed or required and daytime work is not allowed, working day charges will be made when weather and other conditions permit the performance of the principal unit of work underway, as determined by the Engineer, for a continuous period of at least 7 hr. for the nighttime period, as defined in Section 8L.3.3., "Nighttime Work," unless otherwise shown in the Contract. 3.3.2.2. Nighttime Work and Daytime Work Requiring Inspector. When nighttime work is performed or required and daytime work is allowed, working day charges will be made when weather and other conditions permit the performance of the principal unit of work underway, as determined by the Engineer, for a continuous period of at least 7 hr. for the nighttime period, as defined in Section 8L.3.3., "Nighttime Work," or for a continuous period of at least 7 hr. for the alternative daytime period unless otherwise shown in the Contract. 2024 Specifications 8L Only one day will be charged for each 24hr. period. When the Engineer agrees to restrict work hours to the nighttime period only, working day charges will be in accordance with Section 81-.3.3.2.1., "Nighttime Work Only." 3.4. Time Statements. The Engineer will furnish the Contractor a monthly time statement. Review the monthly time statement for correctness. Report protests in writing, no later than 30 calendar days after receipt of the time statement, providing a detailed explanation for each day protested. Not filing a protest within 30 calendar days will indicate acceptance of the working day charges, and future consideration of that statement will not be permitted. 4. TEMPORARY SUSPENSION OF WORK OR WORKING DAY CHARGES The Engineer may suspend the work, wholly or in part, and will provide notice and reasons for the suspension in writing. Suspend and resume work only as directed in writing. When part of the work is suspended, the Engineer may suspend working day charges only when conditions not under the control of the Contractor prohibit the performance of critical path activities. When all of the work is suspended for reasons not under the control of the Contractor, the Engineer will suspend working day charges. 5. PROJECT SCHEDULES Prepare, maintain, and submit project schedules for the work to be performed under this Contract. Project schedules are used to convey the Contractor's intended work plan to the Owner. The work performed under this Article will not be measured or paid for directly, but will be subsidiary to pertinent Items. 5.1. Project Scheduler. Designate an individual who will develop and maintain the progress schedule. The project scheduler will be prepared to discuss, in detail, the proposed sequence of work and methods of operation, and how that information will be communicated through the progress schedule at the preconstruction meeting. This individual will also attend the project meetings and make site visits to prepare, develop, and maintain the progress schedules. 5.2. Progress Schedule. Before starting work, prepare and submit a progress schedule based on the sequence of work and traffic control plan shown in the Contract. Prepare the progress schedule as a bar chart or critical path method (CPM) as shown on the plans. Include all planned work activities and sequences and show Contract completion within the number of working days specified. Incorporate major material procurements, known utility relocations, and other activities that may affect the completion of the Contract in the progress schedule. Show a beginning date, ending date, and duration in whole working days for each activity. Do not use activities exceeding 20 working days, unless agreed upon with the Engineer. Show an estimated production rate per working day for each work activity, unless otherwise agreed upon with the Engineer. 5.3. Schedule Format. Format all project schedules in accordance with the following. ■ Begin the project schedule on the date of the start of Contract time or start of activities affecting work on the project. ■ Show the sequence and interdependence of activities required for complete performance of the work. If using a CPM schedule, show a predecessor and a successor for each activity. ■ Ensure all work sequences are logical and show a coordinated plan of the work. CPM schedules must also: ■ clearly and accurately identify the critical path as the longest continuous path; ■ provide a legend for all abbreviations, run date, data date, project start date, and project completion date in the title block of each schedule submittal; and 2024 Specifications 8L ■ using calendars, incorporate seasonal weather conditions into the schedule for work (e.g., earthwork, concrete paving, structures, asphalt, and drainage) that may be influenced by temperature or precipitation. Also, incorporate non -work periods such as holidays, weekends, or other non -work days as identified in the Contract. 5.4. Activity Format. For each activity on the project schedule, provide: ■ a concise description of the work represented by the activity, ■ an activity duration in whole working days, and ■ code activities so that organized plots of the schedule may be produced. CPM schedules must also include the quantity of work and estimated production rate for major items of work. Provide enough information for review of the work being performed. Total float is defined as the amount of time (in whole days) that an activity can be delayed before impacting the project's completion date. Total float is a shared commodity between the Owner and the Contractor. 5.5. Schedule Types and Schedule Impacts. 5.5.1. Bar Chart. Seven calendar days before the preconstruction meeting, prepare and submit a hard or electronic copy of the schedule using the bar chart method. 5.5.1.1. Progress Schedule Reviews. Update the project schedule and submit a hard or electronic copy when changes to the schedule occur or when requested. 5.5.2. Critical Path Method. Prepare and submit the schedule using the CPM. Submit an electronic copy to the Engineer within the timeframes specified. An electronic copy is defined as the scheduling software's native file, saved in a format acceptable to the Engineer. In all cases, an electronic format (.xer) of Primavera Project Planner and Enterprise Project Portfolio Management (P6) will be acceptable. 5.5.2.1. Preliminary Schedule. Unless otherwise agreed for a later submission, 7 calendar days before the preconstruction meeting, submit an electronic copy of the project schedule showing activities beginning with the authorization date to begin work and including activities to be performed within the first 90 calendar days from the work start date. 5.5.2.2. Baseline Schedule. The baseline schedule will be considered the Contractor's plan to successfully construct the project within the timeframe and construction sequencing indicated in the Contract. Submit electronic copies of the baseline schedule. When requested, submit two plots of the schedule: one organized with the activities logically grouped using the activity coding, and the other plot showing only the critical path determined by the longest path, not based on critical float. Develop and submit the baseline schedule for review within the first 45 calendar days from the work start date unless the time for submission is extended by the Engineer. 5.5.2.2.1. Review. Within 15 calendar days of receipt of the schedule, the Engineer will evaluate and inform the Contractor if the schedule has been accepted. If the schedule is not accepted, the Engineer will provide comments to the Contractor for incorporation. Provide a revised schedule based on the Engineer's comments, or reasons for not doing so, within 10 calendar days. The Engineer's review and acceptance of the project schedule is for conformance to the requirements of the Contract documents only and does not relieve the Contractor of any responsibility for meeting the interim milestone dates (if specified) or the Contract completion date. Review and acceptance does not expressly or by implication warrant, acknowledge, or admit the reasonableness of the logic or durations of the project schedule. If the Contractor fails to define any element of work, activity, or logic and the Engineer's review does not detect this omission or error, the Contractor is responsible for correcting the error or omission. 2024 Specifications 8L Submit an acceptable baseline schedule before the 90th calendar day from the work start date unless the time for submission is extended by the Engineer. 5.5.2.3. Progress Schedule. Maintain and submit the progress schedule monthly for use by the Contractor and the Engineer. Submit an electronic copy as it will become an as -built record of the daily progress achieved on the project. If continuous progress of an activity is interrupted for any reason except non -work periods (e.g., holidays, weekend, or interference from temperature or precipitation), then the activity will show the actual finish date as that date of the start of the interruption and the activity will be broken into a subsequent activity (or activities, based on the number of interruptions) similarly numbered with successive alpha character as necessary. The original duration of the subsequent activity will be that of the remaining duration of the original activity. Relationships of the subsequent activity will match those of the original activity so that the integrity of the project schedule logic is maintained. Once established, the original durations and actual dates of all activities must remain unchanged. Revisions to the schedule may be made as necessary. The project schedule must be revised when changes in construction phasing and sequencing occur or other changes that cause deviation from the original project schedule occur. Any revisions to the schedule must be listed in the monthly update narrative with the purpose of the revision and description of the impact on the project schedule's critical path and project completion date. Create the schedule revision using the latest update before the start of the revision. Monthly updating of the project schedule will include updating of: ■ the actual start dates for activities started, ■ the actual finish dates for activities completed, ■ the percentage of work completed and remaining duration for each activity started but not yet completed, and ■ the calendars to show days actual work was performed on the various work activities. The cutoff day for recording monthly progress will be the last day of each month. Submit the updated project schedule no later than the 20th calendar day of the following month. The Engineer will evaluate the updated schedule within 5 calendar days of receipt and inform the Contractor if it has or has not been accepted. If the schedule is not accepted, the Engineer will provide comments to the Contractor for incorporation. Provide a revised schedule based on the Engineer's comments, or reasons for not doing so, within 5 calendar days. Provide a brief narrative in a bulleted statement format for major items that have impacted the schedule. Notify the Engineer if resource -leveling is being used. 5.5.2.3.1. Project Schedule Summary Report (PSSR). When shown on the plans, provide the PSSR instead of the narrative required in Section 8L.5.5.2.3., "Progress Schedule." The PSSR includes a listing of major items that have impacted the schedule and a summary of progress in days ahead or behind schedule. Include an explanation of the project progress for the period represented on the form provided by the Owner. 5.5.3. Notice of Potential Time Impact. Submit a notice of potential time impact when a Contract time extension or adjustment of milestone dates may be justified or when directed. Failure to provide this notice in the timeframes specified above will compromise the Owner's ability to mitigate the impacts, and the Contractor forfeits the right to request a time extension or adjustment of milestone dates unless the circumstances are such that the Contractor could not reasonably have had knowledge of the impact at the time. 5.5.4. Time Impact Analysis. When directed, provide a time impact analysis. A time impact analysis is an evaluation of the effects of impacts on the project. A time impact analysis consists of the following steps. ■ Step 1. Establish the status of the project immediately before the impact. ■ Step 2. Predict the effect of the impact on the schedule update used in Step 1. ■ Step 3. Track the effects of the impact on the schedule during its occurrence. 2024 Specifications 8L ■ Step 4. Establish the status of the project after the impact's effect has ended and provide details identifying any mitigating actions or circumstances used to keep the project ongoing during the impact period. Determine the time impact by comparing the status of the work before the impact (Step 1) to the prediction of the effect of the impact (Step 2), if requested, and to actual effects of the impact once it is complete (Step 4). Unless otherwise approved by the Engineer, Steps 1, 3, and 4 must be completed before consideration of a Contract time extension or adjustment of a milestone date will be provided. Time extensions will be considered only when delays that affect milestone dates or the Contract completion date are beyond the Contractor's control. Submit Step 4 no later than 15 calendar days after the impact's effects have ended or when all the information on the effect has been realized. Submit one electronic backup copy of the complete time impact analysis and a copy of the full project schedule incorporating the time impact analysis. If the project schedule is revised after the submittal of a time impact analysis, but before its approval, indicate in writing the need for any modification to the time impact analysis. The Engineer will review the time impact analysis upon completion of Step 4. If this review detects revisions or changes to the schedule that had not been performed and identified in a narrative, the Engineer may reject the time impact analysis. If the Engineer is in agreement with the time impact analysis, a change order may be issued to grant additional working days, or to adjust interim milestones. Once a change order has been executed, incorporate the time impact analysis into the project schedule. The time impact analysis may also be used to support the settlement of disputes and claims. Compensation related to the time impact analysis may be provided at the completion of the analysis or the completion of the project to determine the true role the impact played on the final completion. 6. FAILURE TO COMPLETE WORK ON TIME The time established for the completion of the work is an essential element of the Contract. If the Contractor fails to complete the work within the number of working days specified, working days will continue to be charged. Failure to complete the Contract, callout work, or a work order within the number of working days specified, including any approved additional working days, will result in liquidated damages for each working day charged over the number of working days specified. The dollar amount specified in the Contract will be deducted from any money due or to become due the Contractor for each working day the Contract, callout work, or work order remains incomplete. This amount will be assessed not as a penalty but as liquidated damages. The amount assessed for non -site -specific Contracts will be based on the estimated amount for each work order unless otherwise shown in the Contract. The amount assessed for each callout will be as specified in the Contract. 7. DEFAULT OF CONTRACT 7.1. Declaration of Default. The Engineer may declare the Contractor to be in default of the Contract if the Contractor: ■ fails to begin the work within the number of days specified; ■ fails to prosecute the work to assure completion within the number of days specified; ■ is uncooperative, disruptive, or threatening; ■ fails to perform the work in accordance with the Contract requirements; ■ neglects or refuses to remove and replace rejected materials or unacceptable work; ■ discontinues the prosecution of the work without the Engineer's approval; ■ makes an unauthorized assignment; ■ fails to resume work that has been discontinued within a reasonable number of days after notice to do so; ■ fails to conduct the work in an acceptable manner; or ■ commits fraud or other unfixable conduct as determined by the Owner. 2024 Specifications 8L If any of these conditions occur, the Engineer will give notice in writing to the Contractor and the Surety of the intent to declare the Contractor in default. If the Contractor does not proceed as directed within 10 days after the notice, the Owner will provide written notice to the Contractor and the Surety to declare the Contractor to be in default of the Contract. If the Contractor provides the Owner written notice of voluntary default of the Contract, the Owner may waive the 10-day notice of intent to declare the Contractor in default and immediately provide written notice of default to the Contractor and the Surety. Calendar day charges will continue until completion of the Contract. The Owner may suspend work in accordance with Article 81-.4., "Temporary Suspension of Work or Working Day Charges," to investigate apparent fraud or other unfixable conduct before defaulting the Contractor. The Contractor may be subject to sanctions under the state and/or federal laws and regulations. A default may result in the application of remedial action by the Owner. The Owner will determine the method used for the completion of the remaining work as follows. ■ For Contracts without performance bonds, the Owner will determine the most expeditious and efficient way to complete the work and recover damages from the Contractor. ■ For Contracts with performance bonds, the Owner will require the Contractor's Surety to complete the remaining work in accordance with the terms of the original Contract. A completing Contractor will be considered a subcontractor of the Surety. The Owner reserves the right to approve or reject proposed subcontractors. Work may resume after the Owner receives and approves Certificates of Insurance as required in Section 3.4.3., "Insurance." Certificates of Insurance may be issued in the name of the completing Contractor. The Surety is responsible for making every effort to expedite the resumption of work and completion of the Contract. The Owner may complete the work using any or all materials at the work locations that it deems suitable and acceptable. Any costs incurred by the Owner for the completion of the work under the Contract will be the responsibility of the Surety. From the time of notification of the default until work resumes (either by the Surety or the Owner), the Owner will maintain traffic control devices and will do any other work it deems necessary, unless otherwise agreed upon by the Owner and the Surety. All costs associated with this work will be deducted from money due to the Surety. The Owner will hold all money earned but not disbursed by the date of default. Upon resumption of the work after the default, all payments will be made to the Surety. All costs and charges incurred by the Owner resulting from the default, including the cost of completing the work under the Contract, costs of maintaining traffic control devices, costs for other work deemed necessary, and any applicable liquidated damages or disincentives will be deducted from money due the Contractor for completed work. If these costs exceed the sum that would have been payable under the Contract, the Surety will be liable and pay the Owner the balance of these costs in excess of the Contract price. In case the costs incurred by the Owner are less than the amount that would have been payable under the Contract if the work had been completed by the Contractor, the Owner will be entitled to retain the difference. Comply with Article 8L.2., "Subcontracting," and abide by the DBE GGrnm;+mo„+s previously approved by the Owner. Section 8L.2.1., "Construction Contracts and Federally Funded Maintenance Contracts," is waived. No markups as defined in Article 9L.7., "Payment for Extra Work and Force Account Method," will be allowed for the Surety. 7.2. Wrongful Default. If it is determined after the Contractor is declared in default, that the Contractor was not in default, the rights and obligations of all parties will be the same as if termination had been issued for the convenience of the public as provided in Article 8L.8., "Termination of Contract." 8. TERMINATION OF CONTRACT The Owner may terminate the Contract in whole or in part whenever: ■ the Contractor is prevented from proceeding with the work as a direct result of an executive order of the President of the United States or the Governor of the State; 2024 Specifications 8L ■ the Contractor is prevented from proceeding with the work due to a national emergency, or when the work to be performed under the Contract is stopped, directly or indirectly, because of the freezing or diversion of materials, equipment, or labor as the result of an order or a proclamation of the President of the United States; ■ the Contractor is prevented from proceeding with the work due to an order of any federal authority; ■ the Contractor is prevented from proceeding with the work by reason of a preliminary, special, or permanent restraining court order where the issuance of the restraining order is primarily caused by acts or omissions of persons or agencies other than the Contractor; or ■ the Owner determines that termination of the Contract is in the best interest of the State or the public. This includes, but is not limited to, the discovery of significant hazardous material problems, right of way acquisition problems, or utility conflicts that would cause substantial delays or expense to the Contract. 8.1. Procedures and Submittals. The Owner will provide written notice to the Contractor of termination specifying the extent of the termination and the effective date. Upon notice, immediately proceed in accordance with the following: ■ stop work as specified in the notice, ■ place no further subcontracts or orders for materials, services, or facilities, except as necessary to complete a critical portion of the Contract, as approved by the Engineer, ■ terminate all subcontracts to the extent they relate to the work terminated, ■ complete performance of the work not terminated, ■ settle all outstanding liabilities and termination settlement proposals resulting from the termination of the Contract, ■ create an inventory report, including all acceptable materials and products obtained for the Contract that have not been incorporated in the work that was terminated (include in the inventory report a description, quantity, location, source, cost, and payment status for each of the acceptable materials and products), and ■ take any action necessary, or that the Engineer may direct, for the protection and preservation of the materials and products related to the Contract that are in the possession of the Contractor and in which the Owner has or may acquire an interest. 8.2. Settlement Provisions. Within 60 calendar days of the date of the notice of termination, submit a final termination settlement proposal, unless otherwise approved. The Engineer will prepare a change order that reduces the affected quantities of work and adds acceptable costs for termination. No claim for loss of anticipated profits will be considered. The Owner will pay reasonable and verifiable termination costs, including: ■ all work completed at the unit bid price and partial payment for incomplete work, ■ the percentage of Item 500, "Mobilization," equivalent to the percentage of work complete or actual cost that can be supported by cost records, whichever is greater, ■ expenses necessary for the preparation of termination settlement proposals and support data; ■ the termination and settlement of subcontracts, ■ storage, transportation, restocking, and other costs incurred necessary for the preservation, protection, or disposition of the termination inventory, and ■ other expenses acceptable to the Owner. 0011 13 INVITATION TO BIDDERS Pagel of 3 6y xO 1113011hifNRI INVITATION TO BIDDERS RECEIPT OF BIDS Electronic bids for the construction of AV Cato Elementary — Safe Routes to School City Project Number: 104799 ("Project") will be received by the City of Fort Worth via the Procurement Portal https:Hfortworthtexas.bonfirehub.com/portal/?tab=openOpportunities, under the respective Project until 2:00 P.M.

Documentation: Whenever the Cost of the Work for any purpose is to be determined pursuant to Paragraphs 11.01.A and 11.01.B, Contractor will establish and maintain records thereof in accordance with generally accepted accounting practices and submit in a form acceptable to City an itemized cost breakdown together with supporting data. 11.02 Allowances A. Specified Allowance: It is understood that Contractor has included in the Contract Price all allowances so named in the Contract Documents and shall cause the Work so covered to be performed for such sums and by such persons or entities as may be acceptable to City. B. Pre -bid Allowances: 1. Contractor agrees that: CITY OF FORT WORTH AV Cato Elementary Safe Routes to School STANDARD CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATION DOCUMENTS City Project No. 104799 Revision: September 1,2025 007200-1 GENERAL CONDITIONS Page 44 of 63 a. the pre -bid allowances include the cost to Contractor of materials and equipment required by the allowances to be delivered at the Site, and all applicable taxes; and b. Contractor's costs for unloading and handling on the Site, labor, installation, overhead, profit, and other expenses contemplated for the pre -bid allowances have been included in the allowances, and no demand for additional payment on account of any of the foregoing will be valid. C. Contingency Allowance: Contractor agrees that a contingency allowance, if any, is for the sole use of City. D. Prior to final payment, an appropriate Change Order will be issued to reflect actual amounts due Contractor on account of Work covered by allowances, and the Contract Price shall be correspondingly adjusted. 11.03 UnitPrice Work A. Where the Contract Documents provide that all or part of the Work is to be Unit Price Work, initially the Contract Price will be deemed to include for all Unit Price Work an amount equal to the sum of the unit price for each separately identified item of Unit Price Work times the estimated quantity of each item as indicated in the Agreement. B. The estimated quantities of items of Unit Price Work are not guaranteed and are solely for the purpose of comparison of Bids and determining an initial Contract Price. Determinations of the actual quantities and classifications of Unit Price Work performed by Contractor will be made by City subject to the provisions of Paragraph 9.05. C. Each unit price will be deemed to include an amount considered by Contractor to be adequate to cover Contractor's overhead and profit for each separately identified item. Work described in the Contract Documents, or reasonably inferred as required for a functionally complete installation, but not identified in the listing of unit price items shall be considered incidental to unit price work listed and the cost of incidental work included as part of the unit price. D. City may make an adjustment in the Contract Price in accordance with Paragraph 12.01 If. 1. the quantity of any item of Unit Price Work performed by Contractor differs materially and significantly from the estimated quantity of such item indicated in the Agreement; and 2. there is no corresponding adjustment with respect to any other item of Work. E. Increased or Decreased Quantities: The City reserves the right to order Extra Work in accordance with Paragraph 10.01. If the changes in quantities or the alterations do not significantly change the character of work under the Contract Documents, the altered work will be paid for at the Contract unit price. CITY OF FORT WORTH AV Cato Elementary Safe Routes to School STANDARD CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATION DOCUMENTS City Project No. 104799 Revision: September 1,2025 00 72 00 -1 GENERAL CONDITIONS Page 45 of 63 2. If the changes in quantities or alterations significantly change the character of work, the Contract will be amended by a Change Order. 3. If no unit prices exist, this will be considered Extra Work and the Contract will be amended by a Change Order in accordance with Article 12. 4. A significant change in the character of work occurs when: a. the character of work for any Item as altered differs materially in kind or nature from that in the Contract or b. a Major Item of work varies by more than 25% from the original Contract quantity. 5. When the quantity of work to be done under any Major Item of the Contract is more than 125% of the original quantity stated in the Contract, then either party to the Contract may request an adjustment to the unit price on the portion of the work that is above 125%. 6. When the quantity of work to be done under any Major Item of the Contract is less than 75% of the original quantity stated in the Contract, then either party to the Contract may request an adjustment to the unit price. 11.04 Plans Quantity Measurement A. Plans quantities may or may not represent the exact quantity of work performed or material moved, handled, or placed during the execution of the Contract. The estimated bid quantities are designated as final payment quantities, unless revised by the governing Section or this Article. B. If the quantity measured as outlined under "Price and Payment Procedures" varies by more than 25% (or as stipulated under "Price and Payment Procedures" for specific Items) from the total estimated quantity for an individual Item originally shown in the Contract Documents, an adjustment may be made to the quantity of authorized work done for payment purposes. The party to the Contract requesting the adjustment will provide field measurements and calculations showing the final quantity for which payment will be made. Payment for revised quantity will be made at the unit price bid for that Item, except as provided for in Article 10. C. When quantities are revised by a change in design approved by the City, by Change Order, or to correct an error, or to correct an error on the plans, the plans quantity will be increased or decreased by the amount involved in the change, and the 25% variance will apply to the new plans quantity. D. If the total Contract quantity multiplied by the unit price bid for an individual Item is less than $250 and the Item is not originally a plans quantity Item, then the Item may be paid as a plans quantity Item if the City and Contractor agree in writing to fix the final quantity as a plans quantity. CITY OF FORT WORTH AV Cato Elementary Safe Routes to School STANDARD CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATION DOCUMENTS City Project No. 104799 Revision: September 1,2025 00 72 00 -1 GENERAL CONDITIONS Page 46 of 63 E. For callout work or non -site specific Contracts, the plans quantity measurement requirements are not applicable. ARTICLE 12 — CHANGE OF CONTRACT PRICE; CHANGE OF CONTRACT TIME 12.01 Change of Contract Price A. The Contract Price may only be changed by a Change Order. B. The value of any Work covered by a Change Order will be determined as follows: where the Work involved is covered by unit prices contained in the Contract Documents, by application of such unit prices to the quantities of the items involved (subject to the provisions of Paragraph 11.03); or 2. where the Work involved is not covered by unit prices contained in the Contract Documents, by a mutually agreed lump sum or unit price (which may include an allowance for overhead and profit not necessarily in accordance with Paragraph 12.0l.C.2), and shall include the cost of any secondary impacts that are foreseeable at the time of pricing the cost of Extra Work; or 3. where the Work involved is not covered by unit prices contained in the Contract Documents and agreement to a lump sum or unit price is not reached under Paragraph 12.0l.B.2, on the basis of the Cost of the Work (determined as provided in Paragraph 11.01) plus a Contractor's fee for overhead and profit (determined as provided in Paragraph 12.01.C). C. Contractor's Fee: The Contractor's additional fee for overhead and profit shall be determined as follows: 1. a mutually acceptable fixed fee; or 2. if a fixed fee is not agreed upon, then a fee based on the following percentages of the various portions of the Cost of the Work: a. for costs incurred under Paragraphs 11.0l.A.1, 11.0l.A.2. and 11.0l.A.3, the Contractor's additional fee shall be 15 percent except for: 1) rental fees for Contractor's own equipment using standard rental rates; 2) bonds and insurance; b. for costs incurred under Paragraph 11.01.A.4 and 11.01.A.5, the Contractor's fee shall be five percent (5%); 1) where one or more tiers of subcontracts are on the basis of Cost of the Work plus a fee and no fixed fee is agreed upon, the intent of Paragraphs 12.0l.C.2.a and 12.0LC.2.b is that the Subcontractor who actually performs the Work, at whatever CITY OF FORT WORTH AV Cato Elementary Safe Routes to School STANDARD CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATION DOCUMENTS City Project No. 104799 Revision: September 1,2025 00 72 00 -1 GENERAL CONDITIONS Page 47 of 63 tier, will be paid a fee of 15 percent of the costs incurred by such Subcontractor under Paragraphs 11.0l.A.1 and 11.0l.A.2 and that any higher tier Subcontractor and Contractor will each be paid a fee of five percent (5%) of the amount paid to the next lower tier Subcontractor, however in no case shall the cumulative total of fees paid be in excess of 25%; no fee shall be payable on the basis of costs itemized under Paragraphs 11.0l.A.6, and 11.01.B; d. the amount of credit to be allowed by Contractor to City for any change which results in a net decrease in cost will be the amount of the actual net decrease in cost plus a deduction in Contractor's fee by an amount equal to five percent (5%) of such net decrease. 12.02 Change of Contract Time A. The Contract Time may only be changed by a Change Order. B. No extension of the Contract Time will be allowed for Extra Work or for claimed delay unless the Extra Work contemplated or claimed delay is shown to be on the critical path of the Project Schedule or Contractor can show by Critical Path Method analysis how the Extra Work or claimed delay adversely affects the critical path. 12.03 Delays A. Where Contractor is reasonably delayed in the performance or completion of any part of the Work within the Contract Time due to delay beyond the control of Contractor, the Contract Time may be extended in an amount equal to the time lost due to such delay if a Contract Claim is made therefor. Delays beyond the control of Contractor shall include, but not be limited to, acts or neglect by City, acts or neglect of utility owners or other contractors performing other work as contemplated by Article 7, fires, floods, epidemics, abnormal weather conditions, or acts of God. Such an adjustment shall be Contractor's sole and exclusive remedy for the delays described in this Paragraph. B. If Contractor is delayed, City shall not be liable to Contractor for any claims, costs, losses, or damages (including but not limited to all fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys, and other professionals and all court or arbitration or other dispute resolution costs) sustained by Contractor on or in connection with any other project or anticipated project. C. Contractor shall not be entitled to an adjustment in Contract Price or Contract Time for delays within the control of Contractor. Delays attributable to and within the control of a Subcontractor or Supplier shall be deemed to be delays within the control of Contractor. D. The Contractor shall receive no compensation for delays or hindrances to the Work, except when direct and unavoidable extra cost to the Contractor is caused by the failure of the City to provide information or material, if any, which is to be furnished by the City.

Contractor shall give City timely notice of readiness of the Work for all required inspections, tests, or approvals and shall cooperate with inspection and testing personnel to facilitate required inspections or tests. B. If Contract Documents, Laws or Regulations of any public body having jurisdiction require any of the Work (or part thereof) to be inspected, tested, or approved, Contractor shall assume full responsibility for arranging and obtaining such independent inspections, tests, retests or approvals, pay all costs in connection therewith, and furnish City the required certificates of inspection or approval; excepting, however, those fees specifically identified in the Supplementary Conditions or any Texas Department of Licensure and Regulation (TDLR) inspections, which shall be paid as described in the Supplementary Conditions.

City may arrange for the services of an independent testing laboratory ("Testing Lab") to perform any inspections or tests ("Testing") for any part of the Work, as determined solely by City. 1. City will coordinate such Testing to the extent possible, with Contractor; 2. Should any Testing under this Section 13.03 D result in a "fail", "did not pass" or other similar negative result, the Contractor shall be responsible for paying for any and all retests.

If it is found that the uncovered Work is defective, Contractor shall pay all claims, costs, losses, and damages (including but not limited to all fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys, and other professionals and all court or other dispute resolution costs) arising out of or relating to such uncovering, exposure, observation, inspection, and testing, and of satisfactory replacement or reconstruction (including but not limited to all costs of repair or replacement of work of others); or City shall be entitled to accept defective Work in accordance with Paragraph 13.08 in which case Contractor shall still be responsible for all costs associated with exposing, observing, and testing the defective Work. 2. If the uncovered Work is not found to be defective, Contractor shall be allowed an increase in the Contract Price or an extension of the Contract Time, or both, directly attributable to such uncovering, exposure, observation, inspection, testing, replacement, and reconstruction. 13.05 City May Stop the Work If the Work is defective, or Contractor fails to supply sufficient skilled workers or suitable materials or equipment, or fails to perform the Work in such a way that the completed Work will conform to the Contract Documents, City may order Contractor to stop the Work, or any portion thereof, until the cause for such order has been eliminated; however, this right of City to stop the Work shall not give rise to any duty on the part of City to exercise this right for the benefit of Contractor, any CITY OF FORT WORTH AV Cato Elementary Safe Routes to School STANDARD CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATION DOCUMENTS City Project No. 104799 Revision: September 1,2025 00 72 00 -1 GENERAL CONDITIONS Page 50 of 63 Subcontractor, any Supplier, any other individual or entity, or any surety for, or employee or agent of any of them. 13.06 Correction or Removal of Defective Work A. Promptly after receipt of written notice, Contractor shall correct all defective Work pursuant to an acceptable schedule, whether or not fabricated, installed, or completed, or, if the Work has been rejected by City, remove it from the Project and replace it with Work that is not defective. Contractor shall pay all claims, costs, additional testing, losses, and damages (including but not limited to all fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys, and other professionals and all court or arbitration or other dispute resolution costs) arising out of or relating to such correction or removal (including but not limited to all costs of repair or replacement of work of others). Failure to require the removal of any defective Work shall not constitute acceptance of such Work. B.

D. Where defective Work (and damage to other Work resulting therefrom) has been corrected or removed and replaced under this Paragraph 13.07, the correction period hereunder with respect to such Work may be required to be extended for an additional period of one year after the end of the initial correction period. City shall provide 30 days written notice to Contractor should such additional warranty coverage be required. Contractor may dispute this requirement by filing a Contract Claim, pursuant to Paragraph 10.06. E.

The provisions of this Paragraph 13.07 shall not be construed as a substitute for, or a waiver of, the provisions of any applicable statute of limitation or repose. 13.08 Acceptance of Defective Work If, instead of requiring correction or removal and replacement of defective Work, City prefers to accept it, City may do so. Contractor shall pay all claims, costs, losses, and damages (including but not limited to all fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys, and other professionals and all court or other dispute resolution costs) attributable to City's evaluation of and determination to accept such defective Work and for the diminished value of the Work to the extent not otherwise paid by Contractor.

C. All claims, costs, losses, and damages (including but not limited to all fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys, and other professionals and all court or other dispute resolution CITY OF FORT WORTH AV Cato Elementary Safe Routes to School STANDARD CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATION DOCUMENTS City Project No. 104799 Revision: September 1,2025 00 72 00 -1 GENERAL CONDITIONS Page 52 of 63 costs) incurred or sustained by City in exercising the rights and remedies under this Paragraph 13.09 will be charged against Contractor, and a Change Order will be issued incorporating the necessary revisions in the Contract Documents with respect to the Work; and City shall be entitled to an appropriate decrease in the Contract Price. D. Contractor shall not be allowed an extension of the Contract Time because of any delay in the performance of the Work attributable to the exercise of City's rights and remedies under this Paragraph 13.09.

Review of Applications: City will, after receipt of each Application for Payment, either indicate in writing a recommendation of payment or return the Application to Contractor indicating reasons for refusing payment. In the latter case, Contractor may make the necessary corrections and resubmit the Application. 2. City's processing of any payment requested in an Application for Payment will be based on City's observations of the executed Work, and on City's review of the Application for Payment and the accompanying data and schedules, that to the best of City's knowledge: a. the Work has progressed to the point indicated; b. the quality of the Work is generally in accordance with the Contract Documents (subject to an evaluation of the Work as a functioning whole prior to or upon Final Acceptance, the results of any subsequent tests called for in the Contract Documents, a final determination of quantities and classifications for Work performed under Paragraph 9.05, and any other qualifications stated in the recommendation). 3. Processing any such payment will not thereby be deemed to have represented that: a. inspections made to check the quality or the quantity of the Work as it has been performed have been exhaustive, extended to every aspect of the Work in progress, or involved detailed inspections of the Work beyond the responsibilities specifically assigned to City in the Contract Documents; or b. there may not be other matters or issues between the parties that might entitle Contractor to be paid additionally by City or entitle City to withhold payment to Contractor; or Contractor has complied with Laws and Regulations applicable to Contractor's performance of the Work. 4. City may refuse to process the whole or any part of any payment because of subsequently discovered evidence or the results of subsequent inspections or tests, and revise or revoke any such payment previously made, to such extent as may be necessary to protect City from loss because: a. the Work is defective or completed Work has been damaged by the Contractor or subcontractors requiring correction or replacement; b. discrepancies in quantities contained in previous applications for payment; c. the Contract Price has been reduced by Change Orders; d. City has been required to correct defective Work or complete Work in accordance with Paragraph 13.09; or CITY OF FORT WORTH AV Cato Elementary Safe Routes to School STANDARD CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATION DOCUMENTS City Project No. 104799 Revision: September 1,2025 00 72 00 -1 GENERAL CONDITIONS Page 54 of 63 e.

D. Liquidated Damages. For each calendar day that any work shall remain uncompleted after the time specified in the Contract Documents, the sum per day specified in the Agreement will be assessed against the monies due the Contractor, not as a penalty, but as damages suffered by the City. E. Payment: Contractor will be paid pursuant to the requirements of this Article 14 and payment will become due in accordance with the Contract Documents. F. Reduction in Payment: 1. City may refuse to make payment of the amount requested because: a. Liens have been filed in connection with the Work, except where Contractor has delivered a specific bond satisfactory to City to secure the satisfaction and discharge of such Liens; b. there are other items entitling City to a set-off against the amount recommended; or c. City has actual knowledge of the occurrence of any of the events enumerated in Paragraphs 14.02.B.4.a through 14.02.B.4.e or Paragraph 15.02.A. 2. If City refuses to make payment of the amount requested, City will give Contractor written notice stating the reasons for such action and pay Contractor any amount remaining after deduction of the amount so withheld. City shall pay Contractor the amount so withheld, or any adjustment thereto agreed to by City and Contractor, when Contractor remedies the reasons for such action. 14.03 Contractor's Warranty of Title Contractor warrants and guarantees that title to all Work, materials, and equipment covered by any Application for Payment, whether incorporated in the Project or not, will pass to City no later than the time of payment free and clear of all Liens.

If and to the extent that Contractor has provided a performance bond under the provisions of Paragraph 5.02, the termination procedures of that bond shall not supersede the provisions of this Article.

Project Schedules CITY OF FORT WORTH AV Cato Elementary Safe Routes to School STANDARD CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATION DOCUMENTS City Project No. 104799 Revised October 6, 2023 013216-2 CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS SCHEDULE Page 2 of 10 Each project is represented by City's master project schedule that encompassesthe entire scope of activities envisioned by the City to properly deliver the work. Whenthe City contracts with a Contractor to perform construction of the Work, the Contractor will develop and maintain a schedule for their scope of work in alignment with the City's standard schedule requirements as defined herein. The data and information of each such schedule will be leveraged and become integral in the master project schedule as deemed appropriate by the City's Project Control Specialist and approved by the City's Project Manager. Master Project Schedule The master project schedule is a holistic representation of the scheduled activities and milestones for the total project and be Critical Path Method (CPM) based. The City's Project Manager is accountable for oversight of the developmentand maintaining a master project schedule for each project. When the City contractsfor the design and/or construction of the project, the master project schedule will incorporate elements of the Design and Construction schedules as deemed appropriate by the City's Project Control Specialist. The assigned City Project Control Specialist creates and maintains the master project schedule in P6 (City's scheduling software). 2. Construction Schedule The Contractor is responsible for developing and maintaining a schedule for the scope of the Contractor's contractual requirements. The Contractor will issue an initial schedule for review and acceptance by the City's Project Control Specialist and the City's Project Manager as a baseline schedule for Contractor's scope of work. Contractor will issue current, accurate updates of their schedule (Progress Schedule) to the City at the end of each month throughout the life of their work. B. Schedule Tiers The City has a portfolio of projects that vary widely in size, complexity and content requiring different scheduling to effectively deliver each project. The City uses a "tiered" approach to align the proper schedule with the criteria for each project. The City's Project Manager determines the appropriate schedule tier for each project, and includes that designation and the associated requirements in the Contractor's scope of work. The following is a summary of the "tiers". 1. Tier 1: Small Size and Short Duration Project (design notrequired) The City develops and maintains a Master Project Schedule for the project. No schedule submittal is required from Contractor. City's Project Control Specialist acquires any necessary schedule status data or information through discussions with the respective party on an as -needed basis. 2. Tier 2: Small Size and Short to Medium DurationProject The City develops and maintains a Master Project Schedule for the project. The Contractor identifies "start" and "finish" milestone dates on key elements of their work as agreed with the City's Project Manager at the kickoff of their workeffort. The Contractor issues to the City, updates to the "start" and "finish" dates for such milestones at the end of each month throughout the life of their work on the project. 3.

The Contractor develops a Baseline Schedule and maintains the schedule of their respective scope of work on the project at a level of detail (generally Level 3) and in alignment with the WBS structure in Section 1.4.H as agreed by the Project Manager. The Contractor issues to the City, updates of their respective schedule (Progress Schedule) at the end of each month throughout the life of their work on the project. C. Schedule Types Project delivery for the City utilizes two types of schedules as noted below. The City develops and maintains a Master Project Schedule as a "baseline" schedule and issue monthly updates to the City Project Manager (end of each month) as a"progress" schedule. The Contractor prepares and submits each schedule type to fulfilltheir contractual requirements. Baseline Schedule The Contractor develops and submits to the City, an initial schedule for their scope of work in alignment with this specification. Once reviewed and accepted by the City, it becomes the "Baseline" schedule and is the basis against which allprogress is measured. The baseline schedule will be updated when there is a change or addition to the scope of work impacting the duration of the work, and only after receipt of a duly authorized change order issued by the City. In the event progress is significantly behind schedule, the City's Project Manager may authorize an update to the baseline schedule to facilitate a more practical evaluation of progress. An example of a Baseline Schedule is provided in Specification 0132 16.1 Construction Project Schedule Baseline Example. 2. Progress Schedule The Contractor updates their schedule at the end of each month to represent the progress achieved in the work which includes any impact from authorized changes in the work. The updated schedule must accurately reflect the current status of the work at that point in time and is referred to as the "Progress Schedule". The City's Project Manager and Project Control Specialist reviews and accepts each progress schedule. In the event a progress schedule is deemed not acceptable, the unacceptable issues are identified by the City within 5 working days and the Contractor must provide an acceptable progress schedule within 5 working days after receipt of non -acceptance notification. An example of a Progress Schedule is provided in Specification 01 32 16.2 Construction Project Schedule Progress Example. D. City Standard Schedule requirements The following is an overview of the methodology for developing and maintaining a schedule for delivery of a project. CITY OF FORT WORTH AV Cato Elementary Safe Routes to School STANDARD CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATION DOCUMENTS City Project No. 104799 Revised October 6, 2023 013216-4 CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS SCHEDULE Page 4 of 10 Schedule Framework - The schedule will be based on the defined scope of work and follow the (Critical Path Methodology) CPM method. The Contractor's schedule will align with the requirements of this specification and will be cost loaded to reflect their plan for execution. Compliance with cost loading can be provided with traditional cost loading of line items OR a projected cost per month for the project when the initial schedule is submitted, updated on a quarterly basis is significant change is anticipated. Overall schedule duration will align with the contractual requirements for the respective scope of work andbe reflected in City's Master Project Schedule. The Project Number and Name ofthe Project is required on each schedule and must match the City's project data. E. Schedule File Name All schedules submitted to the City for a project will have a file name that begins with the City's project number followed by the name of the project followed by baseline (if a baseline schedule) or the year and month (if a progress schedule), as shown below. • Baseline Schedule File Name Format: City Project Number —Project Name —Baseline Example: 101376 North Montgomery Street HMAC_Baseline • Progress Schedule File Name Format: City Project Number —Project Name_YYYY-MM Example: 101376 North Montgomery Street HMAC_2018_01 • Project Schedule Progress Narrative File Name Format: City Project Number Project Name _PN_YYYY-MM Example: 101376 North Montgomery Street HMAC_PN 2018_01 F. Schedule Templates The Contractor will utilize the relevant sections from the City's templates provided in the City's document management system as the basis for creating their respective project schedule. Specifically, the Contractor's schedule will align with the layout of the Construction section. The templates are identified by type of project as noted below. • Arterials • Aviation • Neighborhood Streets • Sidewalks (later) • Quiet Zones (later) • Street Lights (later) • Intersection Improvements (later) • Parks • Storm water • Street Maintenance • Traffic • Water G. Schedule Calendar CITY OF FORT WORTH AV Cato Elementary Safe Routes to School STANDARD CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATION DOCUMENTS City Project No. 104799 Revised October 6, 2023 013216-5 CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS SCHEDULE Page 5 of 10 The City's standard calendar for schedule development purposes is based on a 5-day workweek and accounts for the City's nine standard holidays (New Years, Martin Luther King, Memorial, Juneteenth, Independence, Labor, Thanksgiving, day after Thanksgiving, and Christmas). The Contractor will establish a schedule calendar as part of the schedule development process and provide to the Project Control Specialist as part of the basis for their schedule. Variations between the City's calendar and the Contractor's calendar must be resolved prior to the City's acceptance of their Baseline project schedule. H. WBS & Milestone Standards for Schedule Development The scope of work to be accomplished by the Contractor is represented in the schedule in the form of a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). The WBS is the basis for the development of the schedule activities and shall be imbedded and depicted in the schedule. The following is a summary of the standards to be followed in preparing and maintaining a schedule for project delivery. Contractor is required to utilize the City's WBS structure and respective project type template for "Construction" as shown in Section 1.4.H below. Additional activities may be added to Levels 1 - 4 to accommodate the needs of the organization executing the work. Specifically, the Contractor will add activities under WBS XXXXXX.80.83 "Construction Execution" that delineates the activities associated with the various components of the work. 2. Contractor is required to adhere to the City's Standard Milestones as shown in Section 1.4.I below. Contractor will include additional milestones representing intermediate deliverables as required to accurately reflect their scope of work. I. Schedule Activities Activities are the discrete elements of work that make up the schedule. They will be organized under the umbrella of the WBS. Activity descriptions should adequately describe the activity, and in some cases the extent of the activity. All activities are logically tied with a predecessor and a successor. The only exception to this rule is for "project start" and "project finish" milestones. The activity duration is based on the physical amount of work to be performed for the stated activity, with a maximum duration of 20 working days OR a continuous activity in one location. If the work for any one activity exceeds 20 days, break that activity down incrementally to achieve this duration constraint. Any exception to thisrequires review and acceptance by the City's Project Control Specialist. J. Change Orders When a Change Order is issued by the City, the impact is incorporated into the previously accepted baseline schedule as an update, to clearly show impact to the project timeline. The Contractor submits this updated baseline schedule to the City for CITY OF FORT WORTH AV Cato Elementary Safe Routes to School STANDARD CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATION DOCUMENTS City Project No. 104799 Revised October 6, 2023 013216-6 CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS SCHEDULE Page 6 of 10 review and acceptance as described in Section 1.5 below. Updated baseline schedules adhere to the following: 1. Time extensions associated with approved contract modifications are limited to the actual amount of time the project activities are anticipated to be delayed, unless otherwise approved by the Program Manager. 2. The re-baselined schedule is submitted by the Contractor within ten workdays after the date of receipt of the approved Change Order. 3. The changes in logic or durations approved by the City are used to analyze the impact of the change and is included in the Change Order. The coding for a newactivity(s) added to the schedule for the Change Order includes the Change Order number in the Activity ID. Use as many activities as needed to accurately show the work ofthe Change Order. Revisions to the baseline schedule are not effective until accepted by the City. K.

Survey Equipment, Control, and Datum Standards A. City Benchmarks All city benchmarks can be found here: http://fortworthtexas.gov/itsolutions/GIS/ Look for 'Zoning Maps'. Under 'Layers' , expand 'Basemap Layers', and check on 'Benchmarks'. B. Conventional or Robotic Total Station Equipment I. A minimum of a 10 arc -second instrument is required. II. A copy of the latest calibration report may be requested by the City at any time. It is recommended that an instrument be calibrated by certified technician at least 1 occurrence every 6 months. C. Network/V.R.S. and static GPS Equipment I. It is critical that the surveyor verify the correct horizontal and vertical datum prior commencing work. A site calibration may be required and shall consist of at least 4 control points spaced evenly apart and in varying quadrants. Additional field checks of the horizontal and vertical accuracies shall be completed and the City may ask for a copy of the calibration report at any time. Network GPS such as the Western Data Systems or SmartNet systems may be used for staking of property/R.O.W, forced -main water lines, and rough -grade only. No GPS staking for concrete, sanitary sewer, storm drain, final grade, or anything that needs vertical grading with a tolerance of 0.25' or less is allowed. D. Control Points Set All control points set shall be accompanied by a lath with the appropriate Northing, Easting, and Elevation (if applicable) of the point set. Control points can be set rebar, 'X' in concrete, or any other appropriate item with a stable base and of a semi -permanent nature. A rebar cap is optional, but preferred if the cap is marked 'control point' or similar wording. Datasheets are required for all control points set. Datasheet should include: A. Horizontal and Vertical Datum used, Example: N.A.D.83, North Central Zone 4202, NAVD 88 Elevations B.

The degree of precision required is dependent on many factors all of which must remain judgmental. The tolerances listed hereafter are based on generalities and, under certain circumstances, shall yield to specific requirements. The surveyor shall assess any situation by review of the overall plans and through consultation with responsible parties as to the need for specific tolerances. a. Earthwork: Grades for earthwork or rough cut should not exceed 0.1 ft. vertical tolerance. Horizontal alignment for earthwork and rough cut should not exceed 1.0 ft. tolerance. b. Horizontal alignment on a structure shall be within .0.1 ft tolerance. c. Paving or concrete for streets, curbs, gutters, parking areas, drives, alleys and walkways shall be located within the confines of the site boundaries and, occasionally, along a boundary or any other restrictive line. Away from any restrictive line, these facilities should be staked with an accuracy producingno more than 0.05ft. tolerance from their specified locations. d. Underground and overhead utilities, such as sewers, gas, water, telephone and electric lines, shall be located horizontally within their prescribed areas or easements. Within assigned areas, these utilities should be staked with an accuracy producing no more than 0.1 ft tolerance from a specified location. e. The accuracy required for the vertical location of utilities varies widely. Many underground utilities require only a minimum cover and a tolerance of 0.1 ft. should be maintained. Underground and overhead utilities on planned profile, but not depending on gravity flow for performance, should not exceed 0.1 ft. tolerance. B. Surveying instruments shall be kept in close adjustment according to manufacturer's specifications or in compliance to standards.

(2) The State has standard contract provisions that require the use of domestic materials and products, including steel and iron materials, to the same or greater extent as the provisions set forth in this section. (3) The State elects to include alternate bid provisions for foreign and domestic steel and iron materials which comply with the following requirements.

(2) A request for waiver, accompanied by supporting information, must be submitted in writing to the Regional Federal Highway Administrator (RFHWA) through the FHWA Division Administrator. A request must be submitted sufficiently in advance of the need for the waiver in order to allow time for proper review and action on the request. The RFHWA will have approval authority on the request. AV Cato Elementary Safe Routes to School City Project No. 104799 (3) Requests for waivers may be made for specific projects, or for certain materials or products in specific geographic areas, or for combinations of both, depending on the circumstances. (4) The denial of the request by the RFHWA may be appealed by the State to the Federal Highway Administrator (Administrator), whose action on the request shall be considered administratively final. (5) A request for a waiver which involves nationwide public interest or availability issues or more than one FHWA region may be submitted by the RFHWA to the Administrator for action. (6) A request for waiver and an appeal from a denial of a request must include facts and justification to support the granting of the waiver. The FHWA response to a request or appeal will be in writing and made available to the public upon request. Any request for a nationwide waiver and FHWA's action on such a request may be published in the FEDERAL REGISTER for public comment. (7) In determining whether the waivers described in paragraph (c)(1) of this section will be granted, the FHWA will consider all appropriate factors including, but not limited to, cost, administrative burden, and delay that would be imposed if the provision were not waived. (d) Standard State and Federal -aid contract procedures may be used to assure compliance with the requirements of this section.

There are limitations on using materials produced by convict labor in a federal -aid highway project. Materials produced after July 1, 1991, by convict labor may only be incorporated in a federal -aid highway construction project if: such materials have been produced by convicts who are on parole, supervised release or probation from a prison; or 2. Such material has been produced in a qualified prison facility (Texas does not have a qualified prison facility meeting the requirements of the regulation). Federal Requirements 23 CFR §635.417 — Prohibits the use of materials produced in a prison facility or by prison labor on federally funded projects for roadways functionally classified above a rural minor collector. State Requirements 1. No comparable state statute. AV Cato Elementary Safe Routes to School City Project No. 104799 Differing Site Conditions § 635.109 Standardized changed condition clauses. (a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, the following changed conditions contract clauses shall be made part of, and incorporated in, each highway construction project, including construction services contracts of CM/GC projects, approved under 23 U.S.C. 106: (1} Differing site conditions. (1) During the progress of the work, if subsurface or latent physical conditions are encountered at the site differing materially from those indicated in the contract or if unknown physical conditions of an unusual nature, differing materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in the work provided for in the contract, are encountered at the site, the party discovering such conditions shall promptly notify the other party in writing of the specific differing conditions before the site is disturbed and before the affected work is performed. (ii) Upon written notification, the engineer will investigate the conditions, and if it is determined that the conditions materially differ and cause an increase or decrease in the cost or time required for the performance of any work under the contract, an adjustment, excluding anticipated profits, will be made and the contract modified in writing accordingly. The engineer will notify the contractor of the determination whether or not an adjustment of the contract is warranted. (iii) No contract adjustment which results in a benefit to the contractor will be allowed unless the contractor has provided the required written notice. (iv) No contract adjustment will be allowed under this clause for any effects caused on unchanged work. (This provision may be omitted by the 5TD's at their option.) (2) Suspensions of work ordered by the engineer. (i) If the performance of all or any portion of the work is suspended or delayed by the engineer in writing for an unreasonable period of time (not originally anticipated, customary, or inherent to the construction industry) and the contractor believes that additional compensation and/or contract time is due as a result of such suspension or delay, the contractor shall submit to the engineer in writing a request for adjustment within 7 calendar days of receipt of the notice to resume work. The request shall set forth the reasons and support for such adjustment. (ii) Upon receipt, the engineer will evaluate the contractor's request. If the engineer agrees that the cost and/or time required for the performance of the contract has increased as a result of such suspension and the suspension was caused by conditions beyond the control of and not the fault of the contractor, its suppliers, or subcontractors at any approved tier, and not caused by weather, the engineer will make an adjustment (excluding profit) and modify the contract in AV Cato Elementary Safe Routes to School Chy Project No. 104799 writing accordingly. The contractor will be notified of the engineer's determination whether or not an adjustment of the contract is warranted. (iii) No contract adjustment will be allowed unless the contractor has submitted the request for adjustment within the time prescribed. (iv) No contract adjustment will be allowed under this clause to the extent that performance would have been suspended or delayed by any other cause, or for which an adjustment is provided or excluded under any other term or condition of this contract. (3) Significant changes in the character of work. (i) The engineer reserves the right to make, in writing, at any time during the work, such changes in quantities and such alterations in the work as are necessary to satisfactorily complete the project. Such changes in quantities and alterations shall not invalidate the contract nor release the surety, and the contractor agrees to perform the work as altered. (ii) If the alterations or changes in quantities significantly change the character of the work under the contract, whether such alterations or changes are in themselves significant changes to the character of the work or by affecting other work cause such other work to become significantly different in character, an adjustment, excluding anticipated profit, will be made to the contract. The basis for the adjustment shall be agreed upon prior to the performance of the work. If a basis cannot be agreed upon, then an adjustment will be made either for or against the contractor in such amount as the engineer may determine to be fair and equitable. (iii) If the alterations or changes in quantities do not significantly change the character of the work to be performed under the contract, the altered work will be paid for as provided elsewhere in the contract. (iv) The term "significant change" shall be construed to apply only to the following circumstances: (A) When the character of the work as altered differs materially in kind or nature from that involved or included in the original proposed construction; or (B) When a major item of work, as defined elsewhere in the contract, is increased in excess of 125 percent or decreased below 75 percent of the original contract quantity. Any allowance for an increase in quantity shall apply only to that portion in excess of 125 percent of original contract item quantity, or in case of a decrease below 75 percent, to the actual amount of work performed. (b) The provisions of this section shall be governed by the following: (1) Where State statute does not permit one or more of the contract clauses included in paragraph (a) of this section, the State statute shall prevail and such clause or clauses need not be made applicable to Federal -aid highway contracts. AV Cato Elementary Safe Routes to School City Project No. 104799 (2) Where the State transportation department has developed and implemented one or more of the contract clauses included in paragraph (a) of this section, such clause or clauses, as developed by the State transportation department may be included in Federal -aid highway contracts in lieu of the corresponding clause or clauses in paragraph (a) of this section. The State's action must be pursuant to a specific State statute requiring differing contract conditions clauses. Such State developed clause or clauses, however, must be in conformance with 23 U.S.C., 23 CFR and other applicable Federal statutes and regulations as appropriate and shall be subject to the Division Administrator's approval as part of the PS&E. (c) In the case of a design -build project, STDs are strongly encouraged to use "suspensions of work ordered by the engineer' clauses, and may consider "differing site condition" clauses and "significant changes in the character of work" clauses which are appropriate for the risk and responsibilities that are shared with the design -builder.

OPENING AND READING OF BIDS At the time, date, and location specified in the official advertisement, the Letting Official will publicly open and read bids. 11. TABULATING BIDS 11.1. Official Total Bid amount. The Owner will sum the products of the quantities and the unit prices bid on the proposal form to determine the official total bid amount, except as provided in Section 2L.11.5., 'Consideration of Unit Prices." 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. 11.2. Consideration of Bid Format. When a Bidder submits both an electronic bid and a printed bid that are responsive, the unit bid prices in the electronic bid will be used to determine the total bid amount. If the electronic bid is incomplete or nonresponsive, the printed bid will be used in the tabulation of the total bid amount. If a Bidder submits two or more printed bids, all responsive bids will be tabulated. The bid with the lowest tabulation will be used to determine the total bid amount. 11.3. Rounding of Unit Prices. The Owner 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 that contain five -hundredths of a cent ($0.0005) or more will be rounded up to the next highest tenth of a cent, while entries that contain less than five -hundredths of a cent will be rounded down to the next lowest tenth of a cent and in accordance with Section 2L.11.5., "Consideration of Unit Prices." Bids less than one -tenth of a cent ($0.001) will be rounded to one -tenth of a cent (50.001 ). When credit items are included (negative unit prices), rounding is performed on the absolute value. 11.4. Interpretation of Unit Prices. The Owner will make a documented determination of the unit bid price if a unit bid price is illegible or conflicting in the case of replacement altemate items. The Owner's determination will be final. 11.5. Consideration of Unit Prices. Unit bid price entries such as no dollars and no cents, zero dollars and zero cents, or numerical entries of less than $0.001 will be tabulated as one -tenth of a cent ($0.001). Proposals in which unit bid prices have been left blank are incomplete and nonresponsive. 11.5.1. Alternate Items. If a proposal has a regular and corresponding alternate item or group of items, the proposal will be considered complete if: ■ the regular item or group of regular items has unit prices entered, ■ the alternate item or group of alternate items has unit prices entered, or ■ both regular item or group of regular items and alternate item or group of alternate items have unit prices entered. The Owner will use the price bid for the regular or the alternate item, or group of items, that will result in the lowest cost to the State. The bid will be considered incomplete and nonresponsive if: ■ a regular item or group of regular items is left blank, or ■ a corresponding alternate item or group of alternate items is left blank. 11.5.2. Additive Alternate Items. The Owner will sum the products of the quantities and the unit prices bid for the regular items on the proposal form to determine the total bid amount for the base bid. The official total bid AV Cato Elementary Safe Routes to School City- �Project Xo. 104799 2024 Specifications 2L amount will be determined by the summation of the base bid plus a predetermined order of additive alternate items, not to exceed the Owner's budgeted amount for the Contract. An estimate of the budgeted amount may be shown on the plans. The Contract will identify the base bid work and additive alternate work to be performed. The Owner makes no guarantee that the additive alternate work will be required. 11.5.3. A + B Bidding. The official total bid amount will be determined by the summation of the Contract amount and the time element. The Owner will use the following formula to make the calculation: A + B1 + B2 + BX + ... + BT The Contract amount, equal to A in the formula, is determined by the summation of the products of the approximate quantities shown in the proposal and the unit bid prices bid, and the time element, equal to B1, B2, BX (when phases are included as bid components), and BT (substantial completion of the project when included as a bid component), of the bid is determined by multiplying the number of working days bid to substantially complete the project, or phases, by the daily road -user cost (RUC) shown on the plans. When partial days are bid, they will be rounded up to the nearest whole day. The formula above determines the low Bidder and establishes the Contract time or time for specific phases of the Contract. 11.5.4. Rubber Additives. For proposed Contracts without federal funds, if an alternate item for "Hot Asphalt - Rubber Surface Treatments" or "Hot -Mix Asphalt Concrete Pavement" that contains ground tire rubber is shown on the proposal 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. 11.5.5. Home State Bidding Preference. For the purpose of determining the apparent low Bidder on proposed Contracts without federal funds, the Owner will select the option that results in the greatest bidding preference to the resident Bidder. 11.5.5.1. Reverse Application of Non -Resident Bidder's Home State Bidding Preference. The total bid amount will be based upon the reverse application of the non-resident Bidder's home state bidding preference, if any. This will also apply to another state's preference for a Bidder that offers materials grown, produced, processed, or manufactured in that state. Any reverse application of the home state bidding preference will be the greater of the following: ■ the amount by which a resident Bidder would be required to underbid the non-resident Bidder to obtain a comparable contract in the state in which the non-resident's principal place of business is located; or ■ the amount by which a resident Bidder would be required to underbid the non-resident Bidder to obtain a comparable contract in the state in which a majority of the manufacturing relating to the Contract will be performed. 11.5.5.2. Texas Home State Bidding Preference. A Bidder will be considered the apparent low Bidder if the Bidder's home office is located in this state and their bid does not exceed an amount equal to 105% of the apparent low bid received from a Bidder whose home office is not located in this state. This will not apply to a Bidder from a bordering state whose state does not give a preference to a Bidder in a manner similar to this Section. 12. CONSIDERATION OF BID ERRORS The Owner will consider a claim of a bid error by the apparent low Bidder if the following requirements have been met: AV Cato Elementary Safe Routes to School City Project No. 104799 2024 Specifications 2L ■ a written notification is submitted to the Owner within 5 business days after the date the bid is opened and ■ the submittal identifies the items of work involved and includes bidding documentation. The Owner may request clarification of submitted documentation. The Owner will evaluate the claim of a bid 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, and ■ the delay of the proposed work will not impact cost and safety to the public. Acceptance of the bid error claim by the Owner will result in the rejection of all bids. The erring Contractor will not be allowed to bid the project when it is re -let. Rejection of bids due to the Contractor's bid error may result in the application of remedial actions by the Owner. 13. TIE BIDS If the official total bid amount for two or more Bidders is equal and those bids are the lowest submitted, each tie Bidder will be given an opportunity to withdraw their bid. If two or more tie Bidders do not withdraw their bids, the low Bidder will be determined by a coin toss or a series of coin tosses when there are more than two Bidders. If all tie Bidders request to withdraw their bids, no withdrawals will be allowed and the low Bidder will be determined by a coin toss or a series of coin tosses when there are more than two Bidders. The Letting Official will preside over the proceedings, AV Cato Elementary Safe Routes to School City- Project Xo. 104799 2024 Specifications Addendum No, 1 3L Item 3L Award and Execution of Contract 1.

A significant change in the character of the work occurs when: AV Cato Eiernentary Safe Routes to School City Project)Vo. 104799 2024 Specifications 4L ■ the character of the work for any item as altered differs materially in kind or nature from that in the Contract, or ■ a major item of work varies by more than 25% from the original Contract quantity, When the quantity of work to be done under any major item of the Contract is more than 125% of the original quantity stated in the Contract, then either party to the Contract may request an adjustment to the unit price on the portion of the work that is above 125%. When the quantity of work to be done under any major item of the Contract is less than 75% of the original quantity stated in the Contract, then either party to the Contract may request an adjustment to the unit price. If the changes require additional working days to complete the Contract, Contract working days will be adjusted in accordance with Item 8L, "Prosecution and Progress." 5. DIFFERING SITE CONDITIONS During the progress of the work, differing subsurface or latent physical conditions may be encountered at the site. The two types of differing site conditions are defined as: ■ those that differ materially from those indicated in the Contract, and ■ unknown physical conditions of an unusual nature differing materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in the work provided for in the Contract. Notify the Engineer in writing when differing site conditions are encountered. The Engineer will notify the Contractor in writing when the Owner discovers differing site conditions. Unless directed otherwise, suspend work on the affected items and leave the site undisturbed, The Engineer will investigate the conditions and determine whether differing site conditions exist. The Engineer will provide written notification of the determination whether or not an adjustment of the Contract is warranted. If the differing site conditions cause an increase or decrease in the cost or number of working days specified for the performance of the Contract, the Engineer will make adjustments, excluding the loss of anticipated profits, in accordance with the Contract. Additional compensation will be made only if the required written notice has been provided by either the Contractor or the Engineer. 6. REQUESTS FOR ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION AND DAMAGES Notify the Engineer in writing of any intent to request additional compensation once there is knowledge of the basis for the request. An assessment of damages is not required to be part of this notice but is desirable. The intent of the written notice requirement is to provide the Engineer an opportunity to evaluate the request and to keep an accurate account of the actual costs that may arise. Minimize impacts and costs. If written notice is not given, the Contractor waives the right to additional compensation unless the circumstances could have reasonably prevented the Contractor from knowing the cost impact before performing the work. Notice of the request and the documentation of the costs will not be construed as proof or substantiation of the validity of the request. Submit the request in enough detail to enable the Engineer to determine the basis for entitlement, adjustment in the number of working days specified in the Contract, and compensation. Compensable damages occur when impacts that are the responsibility of the Owner 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. Notify the Engineer in writing as soon as possible for Contractor damages. The intent is to reimburse the Contractor for actual expenses arising from 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 conformance with the methodology provided by the Owner, 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 Owner for approval. AV Cato Eiernentary Safe Routes to School Ciry Projecr)Vo. 104799 2024 Specifications 4L The Owner will not consider fees and interest on requests for additional compensation and damages. Fees include, but are not limited to preparation, attorney, printing, shipping, and various other fees. If the Contractor requests compensation for damages and the damages are determined to be compensable, then standby equipment costs and project overhead compensation will be based on the duration of the compensable damage and will be limited as follows. 6.1. Standby Equipment Casts. Payment will be made in accordance with Section 9L 7.1.4.3., "Standby Equipment Costs." f.2. 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 Contractor will be made using the following options at the Contractor's discretion: ■ reimbursed at 6% (computed as daily cost by dividing 6% of the original Contract amount by the number of original Contract work days), or ■ actual documented costs for the impacted period. Project overhead for delays impacting subcontractors will be determined from actual documented costs submitted by the Contractor. Time extensions and suspensions alone will not be justification for reimbursement for project overhead. 6.3. Home Office Overhead. The Owner will not compensate the Contractor for home office overhead, 7. DISPUTE OR CLAIMS PROCEDURE The dispute resolution policy promotes a cooperative attitude between the Engineer, Contractor, and Contractor's subcontractors working through the Contractor. Emphasis is placed on resolving issues while they are still current, at the Owner's office, and in an informal manner. Open sharing of information is encouraged by all parties involved so the information provided completely and accurately reflects the issues and facts. If information is not shared, decisions may be limited to relying on the documentation that is available for review. Refer to Section 00 72 00 General Conditions Article 10 & 16 for additional details regarding Claims and Dispute Resolution. The Owner's goal is to have a dispute settled by the Engineer before elevating it as a claim to the Owner. If a dispute cannot be resolved, initiate the Contract claim procedure by submitting a claim to the Owner, The Contractor, or subcontractor through the Contractor, will file a Contract claim request and a detailed report that provides the basis for the claim. The detailed report will include relevant facts of the claim, cost or other data supporting the claim, a description of any additional compensation requested, and documents supporting the claim. The claim must include the following certification: "I certify that the claim is made in good faith; that the supporting data are accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief; that the amount requested accurately reflects the contract adjustment for which the Contractor believes the Owner is liable; and that I am duly authorized to certify the claim on behalf of the Contractor." File a claim after completion of the Contract or when required for orderly performance of the Contract. For a claim resulting from enforcement of a warranty period, file the claim no later than 1 yr, after expiration of the warranty period. For all other claims, file the claim no later than 1 yr, after the date the Owner issues notice to the Contractor that they are in default, the date the Owner terminates the Contract, or the date of final acceptance of the Contract. It is the Contractor's responsibility to submit requests in a timely manner. .4 V Cato Elementary Safe Routes to School City Project No. 104799 4 2024 Specifications 5L Item 5L Control of the Work 1. AUTHORITY OF ENGINEER FTexes ransl�arfatlnrr The Engineer has the authority to observe, test, inspect, approve, and accept the work (either in writing or orally). The Engineer derides all questions about the quality and acceptability of materials, work performed, work progress, Contract interpretations, applicability of standard details, and acceptable Contract fulflllment. The Engineer has the authority to enforce and make effective these decisions. ■ Unless noted elsewhere in the Contract or by the Engineer, payment for Contractor work is in accordance with the Contract requirements at that time. This payment does not eliminate the Contractor's responsibilities for the work as defined in Article 7L.17., "Contractor's Responsibility for Work," or Article 5L.12., "Final Acceptance." ■ The Engineer acts as a referee in all questions arising under the terms of the Contract. ■ The Engineer's decisions are final and binding. The Engineer will pursue and document actions against the Contractor as warranted to address Contract performance issues. Contract remedies include, but are not limited to, the following: ■ requiring the Contractor to remove and replace defective work, or reducing payment for defective work, ■ removing an individual from the project, ■ suspending the work without suspending working day charges, ■ assessing standard liquidated damages to recover the Owner's administrative costs, including additional project -specific liquidated damages when specified in the Contract withholding estimates, and ■ declaring the Contractor to be in default of the Contract The Engineer will consider and document any events outside the Contractor's control that contributed to the failure to meet performance standards, including consideration of sufficient time. Refer to Section 00 72 00 General Conditions for additional details regarding control of work. 2. PLANS AND WORKING DRAWINGS When required, provide working drawings to supplement the plans with all necessary details not included on the Contract plans. Prepare and furnish working drawings in a timely manner and obtain approval, if required, before the beginning of the associated work. For all working drawing submittal requirements, the Engineer may allow electronic and other alternative submission procedures. Have a licensed professional engineer sign, seal, and date the working drawings as shown in Table 1. Prepare working drawings using United States standard measures in the English language. The routing of submittals for review and approval will be established at the preconstruction conference. The Contractor is responsible for the accuracy, coordination, and conformity of the various components and details of the working drawings. [owner approval of the Contractor's working drawings will not relieve the Contractor of any responsibility under the Contract. The work performed in accordance with this Article will not be measured or paid for directly, but will be subsidiary to pertinent Items.

Submit shop drawings electronically for the fabrication of structural items in accordance with the Owner's procedures and as directed for other items required by the Contract. References to 11 x 17-in. sheets in individual specifications for structural items imply electronic computer4cled design sheets. 3. CONFORMITY WITH PLANS, SPECIFICATIONS, AND SPECIAL PROVISIONS Furnish materials and perform work in reasonably close conformity with the lines, grades, cross -sections, dimensions, details, gradations, physical and chemical characteristics of materials, and other requirements shown in the Contract. Reasonably close conformity limits are defined in the respective Items of the Contract or, if not defined, as determined by the Engineer. Obtain approval before deviating from the plans and approved working drawings. Do not perform work beyond the lines and grades shown on the plans or any extra wDrk without the Engineer's authority. Work performed beyond the lines and grades shown on the plans or any extra work performed without authority is considered unauthorized and excluded from pay consideration. The Owner will not pay for material rejected due to improper fabrication, excess quantity, or any other reasons within the Contractor's control. 3.1. Acceptance of Defective or Unauthorized Work. When work fails to meet Contract requirements, but is adequate to serve the design purpose, the Engineer will decide the extent to which the work will be accepted and remain in place. The Engineer will document the basis of acceptance by letter and may adjust the Contract price. 3.2. Correction of Defective or Unauthorized Work. When work fails to meet Contract requirements and is inadequate to serve the design purpose, it will be considered defective. Correct, or remove and replace, the work at the Contractor's expense, as directed, The Owner has the authority to correct or to remove and replace defective or unauthorized work. The cost may be deducted from any money due or to became due to the Contractor. AV Cato Elementary Safe Routes to School City- Project Xo. 104799 2024 Specifications 5L 4. COORDINATION OF PLANS, SPECIFICATIONS, AND SPECIAL PROVISIONS The specifications, accompanying plans, special provisions, change orders, and supplemental agreements are intended to work together and be interpreted as a whole. Numerical dimensions govern over scaled dimensions. Special provisions govern over plans (including general notes), which govern over standard specifications and special specifications. Job -specific plan sheets govern over standard plan sheets. However, in the case of conflict between plans (including general notes) and specifications regarding responsibilities for hazardous materials and traffic control in Items 1 L-10L, 'Local Government General Requirements and Covenants," and Item 502, "Barricades, Signs, and Traffic Handling," special provisions govern over standard specifications and special specifications, which govern over the plans. Notify the Engineer promptly of any omissions, errors, or discrepancies upon discovery so necessary corrections and interpretations can be made. Failure to promptly notify the Engineer of discovered omissions, errors, or discrepancies will constitute a waiver of all Contract claims against the Owner for misunderstandings or ambiguities that result from the errors, omissions, or discrepancies. 5. COOPERATION OF CONTRACTOR Cooperate with the Engineer. Respond promptly to instructions from the Engineer. Provide all information necessary for the successful completion of the Contract. Designate in writing a competent, English speaking Superintendent employed by the Contractor. The Superintendent must be experienced in the work being performed and capable of reading and understanding the Contract. Ensure the Superintendent is available at all times and able to receive instructions from the Engineer or authorized Owner representatives and to act for the Contractor, The Engineer may suspend work without suspending working day charges if a Superintendent is not available or does not meet the above criteria. At the written request of the Engineer, immediately remove from the project any employee or representative of the Contractor or a subcontractor who, in the opinion of the Engineer, does not perform work in a proper and skillful manner or who is disrespectful, intemperate, disorderly, uncooperative, or otherwise objectionable. Do not reinstate these individuals without the written consent of the Engineer. Furnish suitable machinery, equipment, and construction forces for the proper prosecution of the work. Provide adequate lighting to address quality requirements and inspection of nighttime work. 6. COOPERATING WITH UTILITIES Use established safety practices when working near utilities. Consult with the appropriate utilities before beginning work. Notify the Engineer immediately of utility conflicts. The Engineer will decide whether to adjust utilities or adjust the work to eliminate or lessen the conflict. Unless otherwise shown on the plans, the Engineer will make necessary arrangements with the utility owner when utility adjustments are required. Use work procedures that protect utilities or appurtenances that remain in place during construction. Cooperate with utility companies to remove and rearrange utilities to avoid service interruption or duplicate work by the utility companies. Allow utilities access to the right of way. Immediately notify the appropriate utility of service interruptions resulting from damage due to construction activities. Cooperate with utilities until service is restored. Maintain access to fire hydrants when necessary. A r Cato Elementary Safe Routes to School City- Project Xo. 104799 2024 Specifications 5L i. COOPERATION BETWEEN CONTRACTORS Cooperate and coordinate with other Contractors working within the limits or adjacent to the limits. 8. COOPERATION WITH RAILROADS Plan and prosecute portions of the work involving a railway to avoid interference with or hindrance to the railroad company. If the work is on railroad right of way, do not interfere with the operation of the railroad company's trains or other property. 8.1. Railroad Coordination Meeting. When shown on the plans or directed by the Engineer, schedule and attend a railroad coordination meeting with the Engineer before beginning work or as agreed upon (may be a part of the preconstruction conference described in Article 4L.2., "Preconstruction Conference").

Provide the invitation to the railroad representatives at least 21 calendar days before the railroad coordination meeting. 8.2. Project -Specific Information. Refer to project -specific plan sheets in the Contract for specific information concerning the work to be completed by the Contractor and the railroad within railroad right of way; railroad right of way locations impacted by construction; percentage of Contract work at each location; train movements at each location; and requirements for railroad insurance, flagging, and Right of Entry (ROE) Agreements, 8.3. Right of Entry Agreement by the Owner. When shown on the plans, the process for obtaining a fully executed ROE Agreement is as follows. ■ The Owner will send the unexecuted ROE Agreement to the Contractor with the unexecuted Contract. ■ Partially execute the ROE Agreement and return it to the Owner with the partially executed Contract and required insurance. ■ The Owner will coordinate with the railroad company regarding the further execution of the ROE Agreement and associated fees. The Owner will pay any ROE Agreement fees directly to the railroad company. ■ Once the Owner has received the fully executed ROE Agreement from the railroad company, the Owner will forward the fully executed ROE Agreement to the Contractor. 8.4. Right of Entry Agreement by the Contractor. When shown on the plans, contact the railroad company to obtain the ROE Agreement before beginning work on the Contract. Provide the required insurance to the Owner before beginning work on the Contract. Execute the ROE Agreement and pay any associated fees to the railroad company. Provide a copy of the fully executed ROE Agreement to the Owner. 9. CONSTRUCTION SURVEYING Use Method C unless otherwise specified in the Contract. Upon request, the Engineer will allow the Contractor to copy available earthwork cross -sections, computer printouts or data files, and other information necessary to establish and control work. Preserve all control points, stakes, marks, and right of way markers. Assume cost and responsibility of replacing disturbed control points, stakes, marks, and right of way markers damaged by the Contractor's or its subcontractor's operations. If the Owner repairs disturbed control points, stakes, marks, or right of way markers, the cost of repair may be deducted from money due or to become AV Cato Elementary Safe Routes to School City- Project Xo. 104799 2024 Specifications 5L due to the Contractor. Replace right of way markers under the direction of an RPLS. This work performed under this Article will not be measured or paid for directly, but will be subsidiary to pertinent Items. The Engineer reserves the right to make measurements and surveys to determine the accuracy of the work and determine pay quantities. The Engineer's measurements and surveys do not relieve the Contractor's responsibility for accuracy of work. Allow the Engineer adequate time to verify the surveying. 9.1. Method A. The Engineer will set control points for establishing lines, slopes, grades, and centerlines and for providing both vertical and horizontal control. At minimum, provide a controlling pair of monument points at both the beginning and end of construction project for projects less than 2 mi. in length. For projects greater than 2 mi. in length, monuments will be set in pairs at a minimum of 2 mi. based on the overall length of the project. Use these control points as reference to perform the work. Furnish materials, equipment, and qualified workforce necessary for the construction survey work. Place construction points, stakes, and marks at intervals sufficient to control work to established tolerances. Place construction stakes at intervals of no more than 100 ft., or as directed. Place stakes and marks so as not to interfere with normal maintenance operations. 9.2. Method B. The Engineer will set adequate control points, stakes, stationing, and marks to establish lines, slopes, grades, and centerlines. Furnish additional work, stakes, materials, and templates necessary for marking and maintaining points and lines. 9.3. Method C. Set adequate control points, stakes, and marks to establish lines, slopes, grades, and centerlines. Place construction points, stakes, and marks at intervals sufficient to control work to established tolerances. Place construction stakes at intervals of no more than 100 ft., or as directed. Place stakes and marks so as not to interfere with normal maintenance operations. Refer to Section 01 71 23 Construction Staking and Survey for additional standards and expectations. 10. INSPECTION Inspectors are authorized representatives of the Engineer. Inspectors are authorized to examine all work performed and materials furnished, including preparation, fabrication, and material manufacture. Inspectors inform the Contractor of failures to meet Contract requirements. Inspectors may reject work or materials and may suspend work until any issues can be referred to and decided by the Engineer, The Engineer may authorize Inspectors to adjust the traffic control. Inspectors cannot alter, add, or waive Contract provisions, issue instructions contrary to the Contract, act as foremen for the Contractor, or interfere with the management of the work. Inspection or lack of inspection will not relieve the Contractor from obligation to provide materials or perform the work in accordance with the Contract. Provide safe access to all parts of the work and provide information and assistance to the Engineer to allow a complete and detailed inspection. Give the Engineer sufficient notice to inspect the work. Work performed without suitable inspection, as determined by the Engineer, may be ordered removed and replaced at Contractor's expense. Remove or uncover portions of finished work as directed. Once inspected, restore work to Contract requirements. If the uncovered work is acceptable, the costs to uncover, remove, and replace or make good the parts removed will be paid for in accordance with Article 4L.4,, "Changes in the Work." If the work is unacceptable, assume all costs associated with repair or replacement, including the costs to uncover, remove, and replace or make good the parts removed. When a government entity, utility, railroad company, or other entity accepts or pays a portion of the Contract, that organization's representatives may inspect the work but cannot direct the Contractor. The right of inspection does not make that entity a party to the Contract and does not interfere with the rights of the parties to the Contract, AV Cato Elementary Safe Routes to School City- Project Xo. 104799 2024 Specifications 5L 11. FINAL CLEANUP Upon completion of the work, remove construction project litter, debris, objectionable material, temporary structures, excess materials, and equipment from the work locations. Clean and restore property damaged by the Contractor's operations during the prosecution of the work. Leave the work locations in a neat and presentable condition. Remove from the right of way cofferdams, construction buildings, material and fabrication plants, temporary structures, excess materials, and debris resulting from construction. Where work is in a stream, remove debris to the ground line of the bed of the stream. Leave stream channels and rights of way in a neat and presentable condition. Clean structures to the flow line or the elevation of the outfall channel, whichever is higher. Dispose of all excess material in accordance with federal, state, and local regulations. The work performed under this Article will not be paid for directly, but will be subsidiary to Items of the Contract. 12. FINAL ACCEPTANCE 12.1. Routine Maintenance Contracts. Not applicable to Locally Let projects. 12.2. Construction Contracts. Final acceptance is made when all work is complete and the Engineer, in writing, accepts all work for the work locations in the Contract. Final acceptance relieves the Contractor from further Contract responsibilities. 12.2.1. Work Completed. Work completed must include work for vegetative establishment and maintenance, test and performance periods, and work to meet the requirements of Article 5L.11., "Final Cleanup." 12.2.2. Final Inspection. After all work is complete, the Engineer in charge of the work will request a final inspection by the Engineer authorized to accept the work. The final inspection will be made as soon as possible and not later than 10 calendar days after the request. No working day charges will be made between the date of request and final inspection. After the final inspection, if the work is satisfactory, the Engineer will notify the Contractor in writing of the final acceptance of the work. If the final inspection finds any work to be unsatisfactory, the Engineer will identify in writing all deficiencies in the work requiring correction. Correct the deficiencies identified. Working day charges will resume if these deficiencies are not corrected within 7 calendar days, unless otherwise authorized by the Engineer. Upon correction, the Engineer will inspect to verify that all deficiencies were corrected satisfactorily. The Engineer will provide written notice of the final acceptance. 12.2.3. Final Measurement. Final measurements and pay quantity adjustments may be made after final acceptance. Final acceptance will not be held for final measurements or pay quantity adjustments. 12.2.4.

MATERIAL QUALITY Correct or remove materials that fail to meet Contract requirements or that do not produce satisfactory results. Reimburse the Owner for cost incurred if additional sampling and testing are required by a change of source. Materials not meeting Contract requirements will be rejected unless the Engineer approves corrective actions. Upon rejection, immediately remove and replace rejected materials. If the Contractor does not comply with this Article, the Owner may remove and replace defective material. The cost of testing, removal, and replacement will be deducted from the payments due to the Contractor. AV Cato Elementary Safe Routes to School City Project No. 104799 2024 Specifications 6L 3. MANUFACTURER WARRANTIES Transfer to the Owner warranties and guarantees required by the Contract or received as part of normal trade practice. 4. SAMPLING, TESTING, AND INSPECTION Incorporate into the work only material that has been inspected, tested, and accepted by the Engineer. Remove, at the Contractor's expense, materials from the work locations that are used without prior testing and approval or written permission of the Engineer. The material requirements and standard test methods in effect at the time the proposed Contract is advertised govern. Unless otherwise specified, the Engineer will perform testing at Owner's expense. In addition to facilities and equipment required by the Contract, furnish facilities and calibrated equipment required for tests to control the manufacture of construction items. If requested, provide a complete written statement of the origin, composition, and manufacture of materials. All materials used are subject to inspection or testing at any time during preparation or use. Material that has been tested and approved at a supply source or staging area may be inspected ortested before or during incorporation into the work and rejected if it does not meet Contract requirements. Copies of test results are available upon request. Do not use material that, after approval, becomes unfit for use. Unless otherwise specified in the Contract, all testing must be performed within the United States and witnessed by the Engineer. If materials or processes require testing outside the contiguous 48 United States, reimburse the Owner for inspection expenses, 5. PLANT INSPECTION AND TESTING The Engineer may but is not obligated to inspect materials at the acquisition or manufacturing source.

Minimize interference to traffic. 2. SUBCONTRACTING Do not sublet any portion of a construction Contract without the Engineer's written approval. A subcontract does not relieve any responsibility under the Contract and bonds. Ensure that all subcontracted work complies with all governing labor provisions. The Contractor certifies by signing the Contract that the Contractor will not enter into any subcontract with a subcontractor that is debarred or suspended by the Commission, Owner, or any federal agency. For federally funded contracts, ensure the required federal documents are physically attached to each subcontract agreement, including all tiered subcontract agreements. Upon request, submit a copy of the executed non -DBE subcontracts, including all tiered non -DBE subcontracts. 2.1. Construction Contracts and Federally Funded Maintenance Contracts. Perform work with own organization on at least 30% of the total original Contract cost (25% if the Contractor is an SBE on a wholly State- or local -funded Contract), excluding any specialty items as determined by the Engineer. Specialty items are those that require highly specialized knowledge, abilities, or equipment not usually available in the contracting firm expected to bid on the proposed Contract as a whole. Specialty items will be shown on the plans or as determined by the Engineer. Bid cost of specialty items performed by subcontractors will be deducted from the total original Contract cost before computing the required amount of work to be performed by the Contractor's own organization. The term "perform work with own organization' includes only: ■ workers employed and paid directly by the Contractor or wholly owned subsidiary, ■ equipment owned by the Contractor or wholly owned subsidiary; ■ rented or leased equipment operated by the Contractor's employees or wholly owned subsidiary's employees; ■ materials incorporated into the work if the majority of the value of the work involved in incorporating the material is performed by the Contractor's own organization, including a wholly owned subsidiary's organization; and AV Cato Elementary Safe Routes to School City- Project Xo. 104799 2024 Specifications 8L ■ labor provided by staff leasing firms licensed under Chapter 91 of the Texas Labor Code for nonsupervisory personnel if the Contractor or wholly owned subsidiary maintains direct control over the activities of the leased employees and includes them in the weekly payrolls. Mobilization is not included in calculation of 30%. When staff leasing firms provide materials or equipment, they are considered subcontractors. In these instances, submit staff leasing firms for approval as a subcontractor. Copies of canceled checks and certified statements may be required to verify compliance with the requirements of this Section. 2.2. State -Funded Maintenance Contracts. Not applicable to locally let projects. 2.3.1. Payment Records. Make payment and related records, including but not limited to copies of canceled checks, available for inspection by the Owner. Retain payment records for a period of 3 yr, following the completion of the Contract. 2.4. Payrolls. Comply with Article 7L.19., 'Payrolls." 3. COMPUTATION OF CONTRACT TIME FOR COMPLETION The number of working days is established by the Contract. For Contracts with work orders, the number of working days is established in each work order. Working day charges will begin when work begins as prescribed in Article 8L.1., `Prosecution of Work." Working day charges will continue in accordance with the Contract. The development of the conceptual time determination is intended to establish the number of working days on the Contract. Upon request, the Engineer will provide the conceptual time determination schedule to the Contractor for informational purposes only. The schedule assumes generic resources, production rates, sequences of construction and average weather conditions based on historic data. Schedule labor, equipment, procurement of materials, subcontractor work, and all other necessary means to prosecute the work within the number of working days specified by the Contract. 3.1. Working Day Charges. Working days will be charged in accordance with Section 8L.3.1.4., "Standard Workweek," unless otherwise shown on the plans.

TEMPORARY SUSPENSION OF WORK DR WORKING DAY CHARGES The Engineer may suspend the work, wholly or in part, and will provide notice and reasons for the suspension in writing. Suspend and resume work only as directed in writing. When part of the work is suspended, the Engineer may suspend working day charges only when conditions not under the control of the Contractor prohibit the performance of critical path activities. When all of the work is suspended for reasons not under the control of the Contractor, the Engineer will suspend working day charges. 5. PROJECT SCHEDULES Prepare, maintain, and submit project schedules for the work to be performed under this Contract. Project schedules are used to convey the Contractor's intended work plan to the Owner. The work performed under this Article will not be measured or paid for directly, but will be subsidiary to pertinent Items. Project Scheduler, designate an individual who will develop and maintain the progress schedule. The project scheduler will be prepared to discuss, in detail, the proposed sequence of work and methods of operation, and how that information will be communicated through the progress schedule at the preconstruction meeting. This individual will also attend the project meetings and make site visits to prepare, develop, and maintain the progress schedules. 5.2. Progress Schedule. Before starting work, prepare and submit a progress schedule based on the sequence of work and traffic control plan shown in the Contract. Prepare the progress schedule as a bar chart or critical path method (CPM) as shown on the plans. Include all planned work activities and sequences and show Contract completion within the number of working days specified. Incorporate major material procurements, known utility relocations, and other activities that may affect the completion of the Contract in the progress schedule. Show a beginning date, ending date, and duration in whole working days for each activity. Do not use activities exceeding 20 working days, unless agreed upon with the Engineer. Show an estimated production rate per working day for each work activity, unless otherwise agreed upon with the Engineer. 5.3. Schedule Format. Format all project schedules in accordance with the following. ■ Begin the project schedule on the date of the start of Contract time or start of activities affecting work on the project. ■ Show the sequence and interdependence of activities required for complete performance of the work. If using a GPM schedule, show a predecessor and a successor for each activity. ■ Ensure all work sequences are logical and show a coordinated plan of the work. CPM schedules must also: ■ clearly and accurately identify the critical path as the longest continuous path; ■ provide a legend for all abbreviations, run date, data date, project start date, and project completion date in the title block of each schedule submittal; and .4 V Cato Elementary Safe Routes to School City Project No. 104799 2024 Specifications 8L ■ using calendars, incorporate seasonal weather conditions into the schedule for work (e.g., earthwork, concrete paving, structures, asphalt, and drainage) that may be influenced by temperature or precipitation. Also, incorporate non -work periods such as holidays, weekends, or other non -work days as identified in the Contract. 5.4. Activity Format. For each activity on the project schedule, provide: ■ a concise description of the work represented by the activity, ■ an activity duration in whole working days, and ■ code activities so that organized plots of the schedule may be produced. CPM schedules must also include the quantity of work and estimated production rate for major items of work. Provide enough information for review of the work being performed. Total float is defined as the amount of time (in whole days) that an activity can be delayed before impacting the project's completion date. Total float is a shared commodity between the Owner and the Contractor. 5.5. Schedule Types and Schedule Impacts. 5.5.1. Bar Chart. Seven calendar days before the preconstruction meeting, prepare and submit a hard or electronic copy of the schedule using the bar chart method. 5.5.1.1. Progress Schedule Reviews. Update the project schedule and submit a hard or electronic copy when changes to the schedule occur or when requested. 5.5.2. Critical Path Method. Prepare and submit the schedule using the CPM. Submit an electronic copy to the Engineer within the timeframes specified. An electronic copy is defined as the scheduling software's native file, saved in a format acceptable to the Engineer. In all cases, an electronic format (.xer) of Primavera Project Planner and Enterprise Project Portfolio Management (P6) will be acceptable. 5.5.2.1. Preliminary Schedule. Unless otherwise agreed for a later submission, 7 calendar days before the preconstruction meeting, submit an electronic copy of the project schedule showing activities beginning with the authorization date to begin work and including activities to be performed within the first 90 calendar days from the work start date. 5.5.2.2. Baseline Schedule. The baseline schedule will be considered the Contractor's plan to successfully construct the project within the timeframe and construction sequencing indicated in the Contract. Submit electronic copies of the baseline schedule. When requested, submit two plots of the schedule: one organized with the activities logically grouped using the activity coding, and the other plot showing only the critical path determined by the longest path, not based on critical float. Develop and submit the baseline schedule for review within the first 45 calendar days from the work start date unless the time for submission is extended by the Engineer. 5.5.2.2.1. Review. Within 15 calendar days of receipt of the schedule, the Engineer will evaluate and inform the Contractor if the schedule has been accepted. If the schedule is not accepted, the Engineer will provide comments to the Contractor for incorporation. Provide a revised schedule based on the Engineer's comments, or reasons for not doing so, within 10 calendar days. The Engineer's review and acceptance of the project schedule is for conformance to the requirements of the Contract documents only and does not relieve the Contractor of any responsibility for meeting the interim milestone dates (if specified) or the Contract completion date. Review and acceptance does not expressly or by implication warrant, acknowledge, or admit the reasonableness of the logic or durations of the project schedule. If the Contractor fails to define any element of work, activity, or logic and the Engineer's review does not detect this omission or error, the Contractor is responsible for correcting the error or omission. AV Cato Elementary Safe Routes to School City Project No. 104799 2024 Specifications BL Submit an acceptable baseline schedule before the 90th calendar day from the work start date unless the time for submission is extended by the Engineer, 5.5.2.3. Progress Schedule. Maintain and submit the progress schedule monthly for use by the Contractor and the Engineer. Submit an electronic copy as it will become an as -built record of the daily progress achieved on the project. If continuous progress of an activity is interrupted for any reason except non -work periods (e.g., holidays, weekend, or interference from temperature or precipitation), then the activity will show the actual finish date as that date of the start of the interruption and the activity will be broken into a subsequent activity for activities, based on the number of interruptions) similarly numbered with successive alpha character as necessary. The original duration of the subsequent activity will be that of the remaining duration of the original activity. Relationships of the subsequent activity will match those of the original acclivity so that the integrity of the project schedule logic is maintained. Once established, the original durations and actual dates of all activities must remain unchanged. Revisions to the schedule may be made as necessary. The project schedule must be revised when changes in construction phasing and sequencing occur or other changes that cause deviation from the original project schedule occur. Any revisions to the schedule must be listed in the monthly update narrative with the purpose of the revision and description of the impact on the project schedule's critical path and project completion date. Create the schedule revision using the latest update before the start of the revision. Monthly updating of the project schedule will include updating of: ■ the actual start dates for activities started, ■ the actual finish dates for activities completed, ■ the percentage of work completed and remaining duration for each activity started but not yet completed, and ■ the calendars to show days actual work was performed on the various work activities. The cutoff day for recording monthly progress will be the last day of each month. Submit the updated project schedule no later than the 20th calendar day of the following month. The Engineer will evaluate the updated schedule within 5 calendar days of receipt and inform the Contractor if it has or has not been accepted. If the schedule is not accepted, the Engineer will provide comments to the Contractor for incorporation. Provide a revised schedule based on the Engineer's comments, or reasons for not doing so, within 5 calendar days. Provide a brief narrative in a bulleted statement format for major items that have impacted the schedule. Notify the Engineer if resource -leveling is being used. 5.5.2.3.1. Project Schedule Summary Report (PSSR). When shown on the plans, provide the PSSR instead of the narrative required in Section BL.5.5.2.3., "Progress Schedule." The PSSR includes a listing of major items that have impacted the schedule and a summary of progress in days ahead or behind schedule. Include an explanation of the project progress for the period represented on the form provided by the Owner. 5.5.3. Notice of Potential Time Impact. Submit a notice of potential time impact when a Contract time extension or adjustment of milestone dates may be justified or when directed. Failure to provide this notice in the timeframes specified above will compromise the Gwner's ability to mitigate the impacts, and the Contractor forfeits the right to request a time extension or adjustment of milestone dates unless the circumstances are such that the Contractor could not reasonably have had knowledge of the impact at the time. 5.5.4. Time Impact Analysis. When directed, provide a time impact analysis. A time impact analysis is an evaluation of the effects of impacts on the project. A time impact analysis consists of the following steps. • Step 1. Establish the status of the project immediately before the impact. • Step 2. Predict the effect of the impact on the schedule update used in Step 1. • Step 3. Track the effects of the impact on the schedule during its occurrence. AV Cato Elementary Safe Routes to Schaal 6 City Project No. 104799 2024 Specifications 8L ■ Step 4. Establish the status of the project after the impact's effect has ended and provide details identifying any mitigating actions or circumstances used to keep the project ongoing during the impact period. Determine the time impact by comparing the status of the work before the impact (Step 1) to the prediction of the effect of the impact (Step 2), if requested, and to actual effects of the impact once it is complete (Step 4). Unless otherwise approved by the Engineer, Steps 1, 3, and 4 must be completed before consideration of a Contract time extension or adjustment of a milestone date will be provided. Time extensions will be considered only when delays that affect milestone dates or the Contract completion date are beyond the Contractor's control. Submit Step 4 no later than 15 calendar days after the impact's effects have ended or when all the information on the effect has been realized. Submit one electronic backup copy of the complete time impact analysis and a copy of the full project schedule incorporating the time impact analysis. If the project schedule is revised after the submittal of a time impact analysis, but before its approval, indicate in writing the need for any modification to the time impact analysis. The Engineer will review the time impact analysis upon completion of Step 4. If this review detects revisions or changes to the schedule that had not been performed and identified in a narrative, the Engineer may reject the time impact analysis. If the Engineer is in agreement with the time impact analysis, a change order may be issued to grant additional working days, or to adjust interim milestones. Once a change order has been executed, incorporate the time impact analysis into the project schedule. The time impact analysis may also be used to support the settlement of disputes and claims. Compensation related to the time impact analysis may be provided at the completion of the analysis or the completion of the project to determine the true role the impact played on the final completion. 6. FAILURE TO COMPLETE WORK ON TIME The time established for the completion of the work is an essential element of the Contract. If the Contractor fails to complete the work within the number of working days specified, working days will continue to be charged. Failure to complete the Contract, callout work, or a work order within the number of working days specified, including any approved additional working days, will result in liquidated damages for each working day charged over the number of working days specified. The dollar amount specified in the Contract will be deducted from any money due or to become due the Contractor for each working day the Contract, callout work, or work order remains incomplete. This amount will be assessed not as a penalty but as liquidated damages. The amount assessed for non -site -specific Contracts will be based on the estimated amount for each work order unless otherwise shown in the Contract. The amount assessed for each callout will be as specified in the Contract. 7. DEFAULT OF CONTRACT 7.1. Declaration of Default. The Engineer may declare the Contractor to be in default of the Contract if the Contractor: ■ fails to begin the work within the number of days specified; ■ fails to prosecute the work to assure completion within the number of days specified; ■ is uncooperative, disruptive, or threatening; ■ fails to perform the work in accordance with the Contract requirements; ■ neglects or refuses to remove and replace rejected materials or unacceptable work; ■ discontinues the prosecution of the work without the Engineer's approval; ■ makes an unauthorized assignment; ■ fails to resume work that has been discontinued within a reasonable number of days after notice to do so; ■ fails to conduct the work in an acceptable manner; or ■ commits fraud or other unfixable conduct as determined by the Owner. AV Cato Elementary Safe Routes to School City Project No. 104799 2024 Specifications 8L If any of these conditions occur, the Engineer will give notice in writing to the Contractor and the Surety of the intent to declare the Contractor in default. If the Contractor does not proceed as directed within 10 days after the notice, the Owner will provide written notice to the Contractor and the Surety to declare the Contractor to be in default of the Contract. If the Contractor provides the Owner written notice of voluntary default of the Contract, the Owner may waive the 10-day notice of intent to declare the Contractor in default and immediately provide written notice of default to the Contractor and the Surety. Calendar day charges will continue until completion of the Contract. The Owner may suspend work in accordance with Article 8L.4., "Temporary Suspension of Work or Working Day Charges," to investigate apparent fraud or other unfixable conduct before defaulting the Contractor. The Contractor may be subject to sanctions under the state and/or federal laws and regulations. A default may result in the application of remedial action by the Owner. The Owner will determine the method used for the completion of the remaining work as follows. ■ For Contracts without performance bonds,. the Owner will determine the most expeditious and efficient way to complete the work and recover damages from the Contractor, ■ For Contracts with performance bonds, the Owner will require the Contractor's Surety to complete the remaining work in accordance with the terms of the original Contract. A completing Contractor will be considered a subcontractor of the Surety. The Owner reserves the right to approve or reject proposed subcontractors. Work may resume after the Owner receives and approves Certificates of Insurance as required in Section 3.4.3., "Insurance." Certificates of Insurance may be issued in the name of the completing Contractor. The Surety is responsible for making every effort to expedite the resumption of work and completion of the Contract. The Owner may complete the work using any or all materials at the work locations that it deems suitable and acceptable. Any casts incurred by the Owner for the completion of the work under the Contract will be the responsibility of the Surety. From the time of notification of the default until work resumes (either by the Surety or the Owner), the Owner will maintain traffic control devices and will do any other work it deems necessary, unless otherwise agreed upon by the Owner and the Surety. All costs associated with this work will be deducted from money due to the Surety. The Owner will hold all money earned but not disbursed by the date of default. Upon resumption of the work after the default, all payments will be made to the Surety. All costs and charges incurred by the Owner resulting from the default, including the cost of completing the work under the Contract, casts of maintaining traffic control devices, costs for other work deemed necessary, and any applicable liquidated damages or disincentives will be deducted from money due the Contractor for completed work. If these costs exceed the sum that would have been payable under the Contract, the Surety will be liable and pay the Owner the balance of these costs in excess of the Contract price. In case the costs incurred by the Owner are less than the amount that would have been payable under the Contract if the work had been completed by the Contractor, the Owner will be entitled to retain the difference. Comply with Article 81-.2., "Subcontracting," and abode by the ROS .. itFnepts .,Feyi.,. sly appFayed by the Owner Section 8L.2.1., "Construction Contracts and Federally Funded Maintenance Contracts," is waived. No markups as defined in Article 9L.7., "Payment for Extra Work and Force Account Method," will be allowed for the Surety. 7.2. Wrongful Default. If it is determined after the Contractor is declared in default, that the Contractor was not in default, the rights and obligations of all parties will be the same as if termination had been issued for the convenience of the public as provided in Article SL.8., "Termination of Contract." 8. TERMINATION OF CONTRACT The Owner may terminate the Contract in whole or in part whenever; ■ the Contractor is prevented from proceeding with the work as a direct result of an executive order of the President of the United States or the Governor of the State; AV Cato Elementary Safe Routes to School City Project No. 104799 2024 Specifications 8L ■ the Contractor is prevented from proceeding with the work due to a national emergency, or when the work to be performed under the Contract is stopped, directly or indirectly, because of the freezing or diversion of materials, equipment, or labor as the result of an order or a proclamation of the President of the United States; ■ the Contractor is prevented from proceeding with the work due to an order of any federal authority; ■ the Contractor is prevented from proceeding with the work by reason of a preliminary, special, or permanent restraining court order where the issuance of the restraining order is primarily caused by acts or omissions of persons or agencies other than the Contractor; or ■ the Owner determines that termination of the Contract is in the best interest of the State or the public. This includes, but is not limited to, the discovery of significant hazardous material problems, right of way acquisition problems, or utility conflicts that would cause substantial delays or expense to the Contract. 8.1. Procedures and Submittals. The Owner will provide written notice to the Contractor of termination specifying the extent of the termination and the effective date. Upon notice, immediately proceed in accordance with the following: ■ stop work as specified in the notice, ■ place no further subcontracts or orders for materials, services, or facilities, except as necessary to complete a critical portion of the Contract, as approved by the Engineer, ■ terminate all subcontracts to the extent they relate to the work terminated, ■ complete performance of the work not terminated, ■ settle all outstanding liabilities and termination settlement proposals resulting from the termination of the Contract, ■ create an inventory report, including all acceptable materials and products obtained for the Contract that have not been incorporated in the work that was terminated (include in the inventory report a description, quantity, location, source, cost, and payment status for each of the acceptable materials and products), and ■ take any action necessary, or that the Engineer may direct, for the protection and preservation of the materials and products related to the Contract that are in the possession of the Contractor and in which the Owner has or may acquire an interest. 8.2. Settlement Provisions. Within 60 calendar days of the date of the notice of termination, submit a final termination settlement proposal, unless otherwise approved. The Engineer will prepare a change order that reduces the affected quantities of work and adds acceptable costs for termination. No claim for loss of anticipated profits will be considered. The Owner will pay reasonable and verifiable termination costs, including: ■ all work completed at the unit bid price and partial payment for incomplete work, ■ the percentage of Item 500, "Mobilization," equivalent to the percentage of work complete or actual cost that can be supported by cost records, whichever is greater, ■ expenses necessary for the preparation of termination settlement proposals and support data; ■ the termination and settlement of subcontracts, ■ storage, transportation, restocking, and other costs incurred necessary for the preservation, protection, or disposition of the termination inventory, and ■ other expenses acceptable to the Owner.

MEASUREMENT OF QUANTITIES The Engineer will measure all completed work using United States standard measures, unless otherwise specified. 1.1. Linear Measurement. unless otherwise specified, all longitudinal measurements for surface areas will be made along the actual surface of the roadway and not horizontally. No deduction will be made for structures in the roadway with an area of 9 sq. ft. or less. For all transverse measurements for areas of base courses, surface courses, and pavements, the dimensions to be used in calculating the pay areas will be the neat dimensions and will not exceed those shown on the plans, unless otherwise directed. 1.2. Volume Measurement. Transport materials measured for payment by volume in approved hauling vehicles. Display a unique identification mark on each vehicle. Furnish information necessary to calculate the volume capacity of each vehicle. The Engineer may require verification of volume through weight measurement. Use body shapes that allow the capacity to be verified. Load and level the load to the equipment's approved capacity. Loads not hauled in approved vehicles may be rejected. 1.3. Weight Measurement. Transport materials measured for payment by weight or track measure in approved hauling vehicles. Furnish certified measurements, tare weights, and legal gross weight calculations for all haul units. Affix a permanent, legible number on the truck and on the trailer to correspond with the certified information. Furnish certified weights of loaded haul units transporting material if requested. The material will be measured at the point of delivery. The cost of supplying these volume and weight capacities is subsidiary to the pertinent Item. For measurement by the ton, in the field, provide measurements in accordance with Item 520, 'Weighing and Measuring Equipment," except for Items where ton measurements are measured by standard tables. The Engineer may reject loads and suspend hauling operations for overloading. 1.3.1. Hauling on Routes Accessible to the Traveling Public. For payment purposes on haul routes accessible to the traveling public: ■ If the gross vehicle weight is less than the maximum allowed by state law, including applicable yearly weight tolerance permit, the net weight of the load will be determined by deducting the tare weight of the vehicle from the gross weight. ■ If the gross vehicle weight is more than the maximum allowed by state law, including applicable yearly weight tolerance permit, the net weight of the load will be determined by deducting the tare weight of the vehicle from the maximum gross weight allowed. 1.3.2. Hauling on Routes Not Accessible to the Traveling Public. For payment purposes on haul routes that are not accessible to the traveling public where advance permission is obtained in writing from the Engineer: ■ If the gross vehicle weight is less than the maximum allowed by the Engineer, including applicable yearly weight tolerance permit, the net weight of the load will be determined by deducting the tare weight of the vehicle from the gross weight. ■ If the gross vehicle weight is more than the maximum allowed by the Engineer, the net weight of the load will be determined by deducting the tare weight of the vehicle from the maximum gross weight allowed. AV Cato Elementary Safe Routes to School Chy Project No. 104799 2024 Specifications 9L 2. PLANS QUANTITY MEASUREMENT Plans quantities may or may not represent the exact quantity of work performed or material moved, handled, or placed during the execution of the Contract. The estimated bid quantities are designated as final payment quantities, unless revised by the governing specifications or this Article. If the quantity measured as outlined under "Measurement' varies by more than 5% (or as stipulated under "Measurement" for specific Items) from the total estimated quantity for an individual Item originally shown in the Contract, an adjustment may be made to the quantity of authorized work done for payment purposes. When quantities are revised by a change in design approved by the Owner, by change order, or to correct an error on the plans, the plans quantity will be increased or decreased by the amount involved in the change, and the 5% variance will apply to the new plans quantity. If the total Contract quantity multiplied by the unit bid price for an individual Item is less than $250 and the Item is not originally a plans quantity Item, then the Item may be paid as a plans quantity Item if the Engineer and Contractor agree in writing to fix the final quantity as a plans quantity. For Contracts with callout work and work orders, plans quantity measurement requirements are not applicable. 3. ADJUSTMENT OF QUANTITIES The party to the Contract requesting the adjustment will provide field measurements and calculations showing the revised quantity. When approved, this revised quantity will constitute the final quantity for which payment will be made. Payment for revised quantity will be made at the unit price bid for that Item, except as provided for in Article 41-.4., "Changes in the Work." 4. SCOPE OF PAYMENT Payment of the Contract unit price is full compensation for all materials, equipment, labor, tools, and supplies necessary to complete the Item of work under the Contract. Until final acceptance in accordance with Article 5L.12., "Final Acceptance," assume liability for completing the work according to the plans and specifications and any loss or damage arising from the performance of the work or from the action of the elements, infringement of patent, trademark, or copyright, except as provided elsewhere in the Contract. The Owner will only pay for material incorporated into the work in accordance with the Contract. Payment of progress estimates will in no way affect the Contractor's obligation under the Contract to repair or replace any defective parts in the construction or to replace any defective materials used in the construction and to be responsible for all damages due to defects if the defects and damages are discovered on or before final inspection and acceptance of the work. 5. PROGRESS PAYMENTS The Engineer will prepare a monthly estimate of the amount of work performed, including materials in place. Incomplete items of work may be paid at an agreed upon percentage approved by the Engineer. Payment of the monthly estimate is determined at the Contract item prices less any withholdings or deductions in accordance with the Contract. Progress payments may be withheld for failure to comply with the Contract. It is the Owner's intent to pay a Contractor for work through the last working day of the month; however, the use of early cut-off dates for monthly estimates and MOH is a project management practice to manage workload at the local level. Approval for using early cut-off dates is at the Owners discretion. The earliest cut-off date for pay applications is the 25th of the month. AV Cato Elementary Safe Routes to School 2 Chy Project No. 104799 2024 Specifications 9L 6. PAYMENT FOR MATERIAL ON HAND (MOH) If payment for MOH is desired, request compensation for the invoice cost of acceptable nonperishable materials that have not been used in the work before the request, and that have been delivered to the work location or are in acceptable storage places. Nonperishable materials are those that do not have a shelf life or whose characteristics do not materially change when exposed to the elements. Include only materials that have been sampled, tested, approved, or certified, and are ready for incorporation into the work. Only materials that are completely constructed or fabricated on the Contractor's order for a specific Contract and are so marked and on which an approved test report has been issued are eligible. Payment for MOH may include the following types of items: concrete traffic barrier, precast concrete box culverts, concrete piling, reinforced concrete pipe, and illumination poles. Any repairs required after fabricated materials have been approved for storage will require the Engineer's approval before being made and will be made at the Contractor's expense. Include only those materials and products, when cumulated under an individual item or similar bid items, that have an invoice cost of at least $1,000 in the request for MOH payment. (E,g„ for MOH eligibility, various sizes of conductor are considered similar bid items and may be cumulated to meet the threshold; for small roadside signs, the sign supports, mounting bolts, and the sign face are considered one bid item or similar bid items for more than one pay item for sign supports.) Requests for MOH are to be submitted at least 2 days before but not later than the estimate cut-off date unless otherwise agreed. If there is a need to request MOH after the established cut-off date, the Owner can make accommodation as the need arises. This needed accommodation is to be the exception, though, and not the rule. For Contracts with callout work and work orders, payment for MOH will only be made for materials authorized for purchase by the work order or by written approval of the Engineer. If the request is acceptable, the Engineer will include payment for MOH in a progress payment. Payment for MOH does not constitute acceptance of the materials. Payment will not exceed the actual cost of the material as established by invoice, or the total cost for the associated item less reasonable placement costs, whichever is less. Materials for which the Contractor does not have a paid invoice within 50 days will not be eligible for payment and will be removed from the estimate. Payment may be limited to a portion of the invoice cost or unit price if shown elsewhere in the Contract. Payment for precast products fabricated or constructed by the Contractor for which invoices or freight bills are not available may be made based on statements of actual cost. Submit the request on forms provided by the Owner. These forms may be electronically reproduced, provided they are in the same format and contain all the required information and certifications. Continue to submit monthly MOH forms until the total value of MOH is SO. By submitting a request for MOH payment, the Contractor expressly authorizes the Owner to audit MOH records and to perform process reviews of the record -keeping system. If the Owner determines noncompliance with any of the requirements of this provision, the Owner may exclude payment for any or all MOH for the duration of the Contract. Maintain all records relating to MOH payment until final acceptance. Provide these records to the Engineer upon request. 7. PAYMENT FOR EXTRA WORK AND FORCE ACCOUNT METHOD Payment for extra work directed, performed, and accepted will be made in accordance with Article 41-A., "Changes in the Work." Payment for extra work may be established by agreed unit prices or by Force Account Method. Agreed unit prices are unit prices that include markups and are comparable to recent bid prices for the same character of work. These unit prices may be established without additional breakdown justification. When using Force Account Method, determine an estimated cost for the proposed work and establish labor and equipment rates and material costs. Maintain daily records of extra work and provide copies of these AV Cato Elementary Safe Routes to School City- Project Xo. 104799 2024 Specifications 9L records daily, signed by the Contractor's representative, for the Owner's verification. Request payment for the extra work no later than the 10th day of the month following the month in which the work was performed. Include copies of all applicable invoices. If the extra work to be performed has an estimated cost of less than $10,000, submit for approval and payment an invoice of actual cost for materials, equipment, labor, tools, and incidentals necessary to complete the extra work. When added work requires mobilization that is exclusive to the added work, mobilization may be added to the force account invoice for payment. 7.1. Markups. Payment for extra work may include markups as compensation for the use of small tools, overhead expense, and profit, 7.1.1. Labor. Compensation will be made for payroll rates for each hour that the labor and foremen or others approved by the Engineer are actually engaged in the work. In no case will the rate of wages be less than the minimum shown in the Contract for a particular category. An additional 25% of this sum will be paid as compensation for overhead, superintendence, profit, and small tools. 7.1.2. Insurance and Taxes. An additional 55% of the labor cost, excluding the 25% compensation provided in Section 9L.7.1.1., "Labor," will be paid as compensation for labor insurance and labor taxes including the cost of premiums on non -project -specific liability (excluding vehicular) insurance, workers compensation insurance, Social Security, unemployment insurance taxes, and fringe benefits. 7.1.3. Materials. Compensation will be made for materials associated with the work based on actual delivered invoice costs, less any discount. An additional 25% of this sum will be paid as compensation for overhead and profit. 7.1.4. Equipment. Payment will be made for the established equipment hourly rates for each hour that the equipment is involved in the work. An additional 15% of this sum will be paid as compensation for overhead and profit not included in the rates. Transportation cast for mobilizing equipment will be included if the equipment is mobilized from an offsite location. 7.1.4.1. Contractor -Owned Equipment. For Contractor -owned machinery, trucks, power tools, or other equipment, use the FHWA rental rates found in Equipment Watch multiplied by the regional adjustment factor and the rate adjustment factor to establish hourly rates. Use the rates in effect for each section of Equipment Watch at the time of use. If a rate has not been established for a particular piece of equipment in Equipment Watch, the Engineer will allow a reasonable hourly rate. This price will include operating costs. Payment for equipment will be made for the actual hours used in the work. The Owner reserves the right to withhold payment for low production or lack of progress. Payment will not be made for time lost for equipment breakdowns, time spent to repair equipment, or time after equipment is no longer needed. If equipment is used intermittently while dedicated solely to the work, payment will be made for the duration the equipment is assigned to the work but no more than 8 hr. will be paid during a 24-hr. day, nor more than 40 hr. per week, nor more than 176 hr. per month, except when time is computed using a 6-day or 7-day workweek. When using a 6-day workweek, no more than 8 hr. will be paid during a 24-hr, day, nor more than 48 hr. per week, nor more than 211 hr. per month. When using a 7-day workweek, no more than 8 hr. will be paid during a 24-hr, day, nor more than 56 hr. per week, nor more than 246 hr. per month. 7.1.4.2. Equipment Not fawned by the Contractor. For equipment rented from a third party not owned by the Contractor, payment will be made at the invoice daily rental rate for each day the equipment is needed for the work. The Owner reserves the right to limit the daily rate to comparable FHWA rental rates found in Equipment Watch multiplied by the regional adjustment factor and the rate adjustment factor. When the invoice specifies that the rental rate does not include fuel, lubricants, repairs, and servicing, the Equipment Watch hourly operating cost for each hour the equipment is operated will be added. .4 V Cato Elementary Safe Routes to School City Project No. 104799 2024 Specifications 9L When the invoice specifies equipment operators as a component of the equipment rental, payment will be made at the invoice rate for each operator for each day the equipment is needed for the work. 7.1.4.3. Standby Equipment Casts. Payment for standby equipment will be made in accordance with Section 9L.7.1.4., "Equipment." The 15% markup will be paid when standby is associated with extra work but will not be paid when standby is associated with damages. 7.1.4.3.1. Contractor -Owned Equipment. For Contractor -owned equipment: ■ Standby will be paid at 50% of the monthly Equipment Watch rate after the regional and age adjustment factors have been applied. operating costs will not be allowed. Calculate the standby rate as follows. Standby rate = (FHWA hourly rate - operating costs) x 50% ■ If an hourly rate is needed, divide the monthly Equipment Watch rate by 176. ■ No more than 8 hr. of standby will be paid during a 24-hr. day period, nor more than 40 hr. per week. ■ Standby costs will not be allowed during periods when the equipment would have otherwise been idle. 7.1.4.3.2. Equipment Not Owned by the Contractor. For equipment rented from a third party not owned by the Contractor: ■ Standby will be paid at the invoice daily rental rate, excluding operating cost, which includes fuel, lubricants, repairs, and servicing. The Owner reserves the right to limit the daily standby rate to comparable FHWA rental rates found in Equipment Watch multiplied by the regional adjustment factor and the rate adjustment factor. ■ Standby will be paid for equipment operators when included on the invoice and equipment operators are actually on standby. ■ Standby costs will not be allowed during periods when the equipment would have otherwise been idle. 7.1.5. Subcontracting. An additional 5% of the actual invoice cost will be paid to the Contractor as compensation for administrative cost and profit. 7.1.6. Law Enforcement Personnel. An additional 5% of the actual invoice cost will be paid as compensation for administrative costs and profit. 7.1.7. Railroad Flaggers. An additional 5% of the actual invoice cost will be paid as compensation for administrative cost and profit. 7.1.8. Bond Cast. An additional 1 % of the total compensation provided in Article 9.7., "Payment for Extra Work and Force Account Method," will be paid for the increase in bond. 8. RETAINAGE The Owner will withhold 5% retainage on the Contractor. The Contractor may withhold retainage on subcontractors in accordance with state and federal regulations. 9. PAYMENT PROVISIONS FOR SUBCONTRACTORS For the purposes of this Article only, the term subcontractor includes suppliers, and the term work includes materials provided by suppliers at a location approved by the Engineer. These requirements apply to all tiers of subcontractors. Incorporate the provisions of this Article into all subcontract or material purchase agreements. Pay subcontractors for work performed within 10 days after receiving payment from the Owner. AV Cato Elementary Safe Routes to School City- Project Xo. 104799 2024 Specifications 9L Pay any retainage on a subcontractor's work within 10 days after satisfactory completion of all the subcontractor's work. Completed subcontractor work includes vegetative establishment, test, maintenance, performance, and other similar periods that are the responsibility of the subcontractor. For the purpose of this Section, satisfactory completion is accomplished when: ■ the subcontractor has fulfilled the Contract requirements of both the Owner and the subcontract for the subcontracted work, including the submittal of all information required by the Contract and the Owner, and ■ the work done by the subcontractor has been inspected, approved, and paid by the Owner. Provide a certification of prompt payment to certify that all subcontractors and suppliers were paid from the previous month's payments and retainage was released for those whose work is complete. Submit the certification in the manner prescribed by the Owner each month and the month following the month when final acceptance occurred. The inspection and approval of a subcontractor's work does not eliminate the Contractor's responsibilities for the work as defined in Article 7L.17., "Contractor's Responsibility for Work." 10. FINAL PAYMENT When the Contract has been completed, all work has been approved, final acceptance has been made in accordance with Article 5L.12., "Final Acceptance," and Contractor submittals have been received, the Engineer will prepare a final estimate for payment showing the total quantity of work completed and the money owed the Contractor. The final payment will reflect the entire sum due, less any sums previously paid.

DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE IN FEDERAL -AID CONTRACTS 2.1. Policy. It is the policy of the DOT and the Texas Department of Transportation (Department) that DBEs, as defined in 49 CFR Part 26, Subpart A, and the Department's DBE Program, will 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. The Contractor must 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. The Contractor, subrecipient, or subcontractor will not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the performance of this Contract. Carry out applicable requirements of 49 CFR Part 26 in the award and administration of DOT -assisted Contracts. Failure 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 Owner deems appropriate. The requirements of this Special Provision must be physically included in any subcontract. 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. 2.2. Definitions. 2.2.1. Administrative Reconsideration. A process by which the low bidder may request reconsideration when the Department determines the good faith effort (GFE) requirements have not been met. 2.2.2. Commercially Useful Function (CUF).

DBE Liaison Officer. 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. 2.3.2. Compliance Tracking System (CTS). This Contract is subject to Contract compliance tracking. Contractors and DBEs are required to provide any noted and requested Contract compliance -related data to the Owner. This includes, but is not limited to, commitments, payments,. substitutions, and good faith efforts. Contractors and DBEs are responsible for responding by any noted response date or due date to any instructions or request for information by the Owner, and to check the system on a regular basis. A Contractor is responsible for ensuring all DBEs have completed all requested items and that their contact information is accurate and up-to-date. The Owner may require additional information related to the Contract to be provided at any time before, during, or after contract award.. In its sole discretion, the Owner may require that contract compliance tracking data be submitted by Contractors and DBEs in an alternative format prescribed by the Owner, 2.3.3. Apparent Low Bidder. The apparent low bidder must submit DBE commitments to satisfy the DBE goal or submit good faith effort Form 2603 and supporting documentation demonstrating why the goal could net be achieved, in whale or part, no later than 5 calendar days after bid opening. The means of transmittal and the risk of timely receipt of the information will be the bidder's responsibility and no extension of the 5-calendar- day timeframe will be allowed for any reason. 2-7 03-25 AV Cato Elementary ,Safe Routes to School City Project No. 104799 2024 Specifications 000-022L 2.3.4. DBE Contractor. A DBE Contractor may receive credit toward the DBE goal for work performed by its own forces and work subcontracted to DBEs. If a DBE subcontracts to a non -DBE, that information must be reported monthly. 2.3.5. DBE Committal. Only those DBEs certified by the TUCP are eligible to be used for goal attainment. The Department maintains the TUCP DBE Directory. The Directory can be accessed at the following Internet address: httns;lltxdot.txdotcros.coml. A DBE must be certified on the day the commitment is considered and at time of subcontract execution. It is the Contractor's responsibility to ensure firms identified for participation are approved certified DBE firms. The Bidder is responsible to ensure that all submittals are checked for accuracy. Any and all omissions, deletions, andlor errors that may affect the end result of the commitment package are the sole liabilities of the bidder. Commitments in excess of the goal are considered race -neutral commitments. 2.3.6. Good Faith Effort Requirements. A Contractor who cannot meet the Contract goal, in whole or in part, must make adequate good faith efforts to obtain DBE participation as so stated and defined in 49 CFR Part 26, Appendix A. 2.3.6.1. Administrative Reconsideration. If the Owner determines that the apparent low bidder has failed to satisfy the good faith efforts requirement, the Owner will notify the Bidder of the failure and will give the Bidder an opportunity to provide written documentation or argument concerning the issue of whether it met the goal or made adequate good faith efforts to do so. The Bidder must request an administrative reconsideration of that determination within 3 days of the date of receipt of the notice. The request must be submitted directly to the Owner. If a request for administrative reconsideration is not fled within the period specified the determination made is final and further administrative appeal is barred. If a reconsideration request is timely received, the reconsideration decision will be made by the Department's DBE liaison officer or, if the DBE liaison officer took part in the original determination, the Department's executive director will appoint a department employee to perform the administrative reconsideration, The employee will hold a senior leadership position and will report directly to the executive director. The meeting or written documentation must be provided or held within 7 days of the date the request was submitted. The Department will provide to the Owner a written decision, which will then be provided to the Bidder if the Bidder did or did not make adequate good faith efforts to meet the Contract goal. The reconsideration decision is final and is not administratively appealed to DOT. 2.3.7. Determination of DBE Participation. The work performed by the DBE must be reasonably construed to be included in the work area and NAICS work code identified by the Contractor in the approved commitment. Participation by a DBE on a Contract will not be counted toward DBE goals until the amount of the participation has been paid to the DBE. Payments made to a DBE that was not on the original commitment may be counted toward the Contract goal if that DBE was certified as a DBE before the execution of the subcontract and has performed a Commercially Useful Function. 3-7 03-25 AV Cato Elementary ,Safe Routes to School City Project No. 104799 2024 Specifications 000-022L The total amount paid to the DBE for work performed with its 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. DBE Goal credit for the DBE subcontractors leasing of equipment or purchasing of supplies from the Contractor or its affiliates is not allowed. Project materials or supplies acquired from an affiliate of the Contractor cannot directly or indirectly (second or lower tier subcontractor) be used for DBE goal credit. If a DBE firm is declared ineligible due to DBE decertification after the execution of the DBE's subcontract, the DBE firm may complete the work and the DBE firm's participation will be counted toward the Contract goal, If the DBE firm is decertified before the DBE firm has signed a subcontract, the Contractor is obligated to replace the ineligible DBE firm or demonstrate that it has made good faith efforts to do so. The Contractor may count 100% of its expenditure to a DBE manufacturer. According to 49 CFR 26.55(e)(1)(i), a DBE 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. The Contractor may count only 60% of its expenditure to a DBE regular dealer. According to 49 CFR 26.55(e)(2)(i), a DBE 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 firm 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 if the firm both owns and operates distribution equipment for the products. Any supplementing of regular dealers' own distribution equipment must be by a long-term lease agreement and not on an ad hoc or contract -by -contract basis. A long-term lease with a third -party transportation company is not eligible for 60% goal credit. With respect to materials or supplies purchased from a DBE that is neither a manufacturer nor a regular dealer, the Contractor may 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 jobsite, 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, 2.3.8. Commercially Useful Function. It is the Contractor's obligation to ensure that each DBE used on federal -assisted contracts performs a commercially useful function on the Contract. The Owner will monitor performance during the Contract to ensure each DBE is performing a CUF. Under the terms established in 49 CFR 26.55, a DBE performs 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. With respect to material and supplies used on the Contract, a DBE must be responsible for negotiating price, determining quality and quantity, ordering the material, installing the material, if applicable, and paying for the material itself. With respect to trucking, the DBE trucking firm must own and operate at least one fully licensed, insured, and operational truck used on the Contract, 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 that leases trucks equipped 4-7 03-25 AV Cato Elementary Safe Routes to School City Project No. 104799 2024 Specifications 000-022L with drivers from a non -DBE is entitled to credit for the total value of transportation services provided by non - DBE leased trucks equipped with drivers not to exceed the value of transportation services on the Contract provided by DBE -awned trucks or leased trucks with DBE employee drivers. Additional participation by non - DBE owned trucks equipped with drivers receives credit only for the fee or commission it receives as a result of the lease arrangement. A DBE does not perform a CUF when its role is limited to that of an extra participant in a transaction, Contract, or project through which funds are passed to obtain the appearance of DBE participation. The Owner will evaluate similar transactions involving non -DBEs to determine whether a DBE is an extra participant. If a DBE does not perform or exercise responsibility for at least 30% of the total cost of its Contract with its own work force, or the DBE subcontracts a greater portion of the work than would be expected on the basis of normal industry practice for the type of work involved, the Owner will presume that the DBE is not performing a CUF. If the Owner determines that a DBE is not performing a CUF, no work performed by such DBE will count as eligible participation. The denial period of time may occur before or after a determination has been made by the Owner. In case of the denial of credit for non-performance of a CUF, the Contractor will be required to provide a substitute DBE to meet the Contract goal or provide an adequate good faith effort when applicable. 2.3.8.1. Rebuttal of a Finding of No Commercially Useful Function. Consistent with the provisions of 49 CFR 26.55(c)(4)&(5), before the Owner makes a final finding that no CUF has been performed by a DBE, the Owner will notify the DBE and provide the DBE the opportunity to provide rebuttal information. CUF determinations are not subject to administrative appeal to DOT. 2.3.9. Joint Check. The use of joint checks between a Contractor and a DBE is allowed with Owner approval. To obtain approval, the Contractor must submit a completed Form 2178, "DBE Joint Check Approval," to the Owner. The Owner will closely monitor the use of joint checks to ensure that such a practice does not erode the independence of the DBE nor inhibit the DBE's ability to perform a CUF. When joint checks are used, DBE credit toward the Contract goal will be allowed only when the subcontractor is performing a CUF in accordance with 49 CFR 26.55(c)(1). Long-term or open-ended joint checking arrangements may be a basis for further scrutiny and may result in the lack of participation towards the Contract goal requirement if DBE independence cannot be established. Joint checks will not be allowed simply for the convenience of the Contractor. If the proper procedures are not followed or the Owner determines that the arrangements result in a lack of independence for the DBE involved, no credit for the DBE's participation as it relates to the material cost will be used toward the Contract goal requirement, and the Contractor will need to make up the difference elsewhere on the project. 2.3.10. DBE Termination and Substitution. No DBE named in the commitment submitted under Section 2.3.5. will be terminated for convenience, in whole or part, without the Owner's approval. This includes, but is not limited to, instances in which a Contractor seeks to perform work originally designated for a DBE subcontractor with its own forces or those of an affiliate, a non -DBE firm, or with another DBE firm. 5-7 03-25 AV Cato Elementary Safe Routes to School City Project No. 104799 2024 Specifications 000-022L Unless consent is provided, the Contractor will not be entitled to any payment for work or material unless it is performed or supplied by the listed DBE. The Contractor, before submitting its request to terminate, must first give written notice to the DBE of its intent to terminate and the reason for the termination. The Contractor will copy the Owner on the Notice of Intent to terminate. The DBE has 5 calendar days to respond to the Contractor's notice and will advise the Contractor and the Owner of the reasons, if any, why it objects to the proposed termination of its subcontract and why the Owner should not approve the prime Contractor's request for termination. The Owner may provide a shorter response time if required in a particular case as a matter of public necessity. The Owner will consider both the Contractor's request and DBE's stated position before approving the request. The Owner may provide a written approval only if it agrees, for reasons stated in its concurrence document, that the Contractor has good cause to terminate the DBE. If the Owner does not approve the request, the Contractor must continue to use the committed DBE firm in accordance with the Contract. For guidance on what good cause includes, see 49 CFR 26.53. Good cause does not exist if the Contractor seeks to terminate, reduce, or substitute a DBE it relied upon to obtain the Contract so that the Contractor can self -perform the work for which the DBE firm was engaged. When a DBE subcontractor is terminated, make good faith efforts to find, as a substitute for the original DBE, another DBE to perform, at least to the extent needed to meet the established Contract goal, the work that the original DBE was to have performed under the Contract. Submit the completed Form 2228, "DBE Termination Substitution Request," within seven (7) days, which may be extended for an additional 7 days if necessary at the request of the Contractor. The Owner will provide a written determination to the Contractor stating whether or not good faith efforts have been demonstrated. If the Owner determines that good faith efforts were not demonstrated, the Contractor will have the opportunity to appeal the determination to the Department. 2.3.11. Reports and Records. By the 15th of each month and after work begins, report payments to meet the DBE goal and for DBE race -neutral participation on projects with or without goals. These payment reports will be required until all DBE subcontracting or material supply activity is completed. Negative payment reports are required when no activity has occurred in a monthly period. Notify the Owner if payment to any DBE subcontractor is withheld or reduced. Before receiving final payment from the Owner, the Contractor must indicate a final payment on the compliance tracking system. The final payment is a summary of all payments made to the DBEs on the project. All records must be retained for a period of 3 years following completion of the Contract work, and must be available at reasonable times and places for inspection by authorized representatives of the Owner, the Department, or the DOT. Provide copies of subcontracts or agreements and other documentation upon request. 2.3.12. Failure to Comply. If the Owner determines the Contractor has failed to demonstrate good faith efforts to meet the assigned goal, the Contractor will be given an opportunity for reconsideration by the Department. A Contractor's failure to comply with the requirements of this Special Provision will constitute a material breach of this Contract. In such a case, the Owner reserves the right to terminate the Contract; to deduct the 6-7 03-25 AV Cato Elementary Saje Routes to School City Project No. 104799 2024 Specifications 000-022L 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 Owner or such other remedy or remedies as the Owner deems appropriate. 2.3.13. Investigations. The Owner may conduct reviews or investigations of participants as necessary. All participants, including, but not limited to, DBEs and complainants using DBE Subcontractors to meet the Contract goal, are required to cooperate fully and promptly with compliance reviews, investigations, and other requests for information. 2.3.14. Falsification and Misrepresentation. If the Owner determines that a Contractor or subcontractor was a knowing and willing participant in any intended or actual subcontracting arrangement contrived to artificially inflate DBE participation or any other business arrangement determined by the Owner to be unallowable, or if the Contractor engages in repeated violations, falsification, or misrepresentation, the Owner may: ■ refuse to count any fraudulent or misrepresented DBE participation; ■ withhold progress payments to the Contractor commensurate with the violation; ■ refer the matter to the Office of Inspector General of the US Department of Transportation for investigation; and/or ■ seek any other available contractual remedy. 7-7 03-25 AV Cato Elementary Saje Routes to School City Project No. 104799 2024 Specifications 006-005L Special Provision to Item 6L Control of Materials Texas Clepartment of 7Yansporxarr`on Item 6L, "Control of Materials" of the Standard Specifications is amended with respect to the clauses cited below. No other clauses or requirements of this Item are waived or changed. Section 1.1. "Buy America," and Section 1.2., "Buy America Exceptions," are voided and replaced by the following. 1.1. Buy America. Comply with the latest provisions of Build America, Buy America Act (BABA Act) and applicable CFR, which restrict funds being made available from Federal financial assistance programs unless all the iron products, steel products, manufactured products, and construction materials used in the project are manufactured in the United States. Use iron or steel products, manufactured products, or construction materials manufactured in the United States for all permanently installed materials and products except when defined in Section 1.1.5., `Buy America Exceptions." A material is solely classified based on its status at the time it is brought to the work site as either an iron or steel product, construction material, manufactured product, or excluded material. Refer to the Buy America Material Classification Sheet found at https://www.txdot.gov/business/resources/materials/buy-america/buy- america-material-classification-sheet.html for additional clarification on material classification. 1.1.1. Materials Excluded from Buy America. Excluded Materials mean cement and cementitious material; aggregates such as stone, sand, or gravel; or aggregate binding agents or additives. Excluded Materials do not require domestic sourcing or Buy America certification. In addition, mixtures of concrete or asphalt delivered to a job site without final form for incorporation into a project are not a manufactured product and are considered excluded. 1.1.2. Iron or Steel Product. Iron or steel products means articles, materials, or supplies that consist wholly or predominantly of iron or steel or a combination of both. For iron or steel products that are wholly or predominantly iron or steel, all manufacturing of the iron or steel must occur in the United States. Predominantly of iron or steel or a combination of both means the cost of the iron and steel content exceeds 50 percent of the total cost of all its components. The cost of iron and steel is the cost of the iron or steel mill products (such as bar, billet, slab, wire, plate, or sheet), castings, or forgings utilized in the manufacture of the product and a good faith estimate of the cost of iron or steel components. For iron or steel products, manufacturing includes any process that modifies the chemical content, physical shape or size, or final finish of a product. The manufacturing process begins with initial melting and mixing and continues through fabrication (e.g., cutting, drilling, welding, bending.) and coating (e.g., paint, galvanizing, epoxy). For iron or steel products, submit a notarized original FORM D-9-USA-1 (Department Form 1818) with the proper attachments for verification of compliance. 1.1.1 Construction Materials. Construction materials are classified as articles, materials, or supplies that consist of only one of the items listed in bullets below. Minor additions of articles, materials, supplies, or binding agents (as determined by the plans or the Engineer) to any of the items listed do not change the classification of a construction material. ■ non-ferrous metals, ■ plastic and polymer -based products (including polyvinyl chloride, composite building materials, and polymers used in fiber optic cables), 1 - 3 04-25 AV Cato Elementary Saje Routes to School City Project No. 104799 2024 Specifications 006-005L ■ glass (including optic glass), ■ fiber optic cable (including drop cable), ■ optical fiber, ■ lumber, ■ engineered wood, or ■ drywall. For construction materials, submit a Construction Material Buy America Certification Form (Department Form 2806) for verification of compliance that all manufacturing processes, as required, occurred in the United States. Each construction material has specific certification requirements stated below. Provide additional documentation as requested. For non-ferrous metals, verification of compliance requires all manufacturing processes, from initial smelting or melting through final shaping, coating, and assembly, occurred in the United States. For plastic and polymer -based products (including polyvinyl chloride, composite building materials, and polymers used in fiber optic cables), verification of compliance requires all manufacturing processes, from initial combination of constituent plastic or polymer -based inputs, or, where applicable, constituent composite materials, until the item is in its final form, occurred in the United States. For glass (including optic glass), verification of compliance requires all manufacturing processes, from initial batching and melting of raw materials through annealing, cooling, and cutting, occurred in the United States. For fiber optic cable (including drop cable), verification of compliance requires all manufacturing processes, from the initial ribboning (if applicable), through buffering, fiber stranding and jacketing, occurred in the United States. All manufacturing processes also include the standards for glass and optical fiber, but not for non-ferrous metals, plastic and polymer -based products, or any others. For optical fiber, verification of compliance requires all manufacturing processes, from the initial preform fabrication stage through the completion of the draw, occurred in the United States. For lumber, verification of compliance requires all manufacturing processes, from initial debarking through treatment and planing, occurred in the United States. For engineered wood, verification of compliance requires all manufacturing processes from the initial combination of constituent materials until the wood product is in its final form, occurred in the United States. For drywall, verification of compliance requires all manufacturing processes, from initial blending of mined or synthetic gypsum plaster and additives through cutting and drying of sandwiched panels, occurred in the United States. 1.1.3. Manufactured Products means articles, materials, or supplies that have been processed into a specific form and shape, or combined with other articles, materials, or supplies to create a product with different properties than the individual articles, materials, or supplies. Manufactured products may include components that are iron or steel products, excluded materials, or construction materials. Any product classified as an iron or steel product, excluded material, or construction material is not a manufactured product. Mixtures of excluded materials delivered to a work site without final form for incorporation into a project are not a manufactured product. Manufactured products do not require Buy America certification except for categories described below. 1.1.3.1. Precast Concrete products classified as a manufactured product (not predominantly of iron and steel) require iron or steel components to comply with Buy America requirements as stated in Section 6.1.1.2 Iron or Steel Product. 2-3 04-25 AV Cato Elementary Safe Routes to School City Project No. 104799 2024 Specifications 006-005L 1.1.3.2. Intelligent Transportation Systems and other electronic hardware systems classified as a manufactured product require iron or steel cabinets or other enclosures of such systems to comply with Buy America requirements as stated in Section 6.1.1.2 Iron or Steel Products. 1.1.3.3. Component means an article, material, or supply, whether manufactured or unmanufactured, incorporated directly into a manufactured product or where applicable, an iron or steel product. 1.1.4. Buy America Exceptions. Use of iron or steel products, construction materials, and manufactured products manufactured in the United States is required unless the material meets an exception below. ■ A waiver exists exempting the material from Buy America compliance. ■ The total value of the non -compliant products (other than iron or steel products) is no more than the lesser of $1,000,000 or 5% of Total Applicable Costs for the project. Total Applicable Cost means the actual cost of all materials requiring Buy America compliance including iron, steel, or other materials that are within the scope of existing waivers. Contractor must provide documentation showing under threshold in advance for Engineer's consideration. ■ The total value of foreign iron or steel products, including delivery, does not exceed 0.1 % of the total Contract cost or $2,500, whichever is greater. The Contractor must provide documentation showing under threshold in advance for the Engineer's consideration, ■ Foreign iron or steel products may be allowed when the Contract contains an alternate item for a foreign source iron or steel product and the Contract is awarded based on the alternate item. ■ The materials are temporarily installed or are supplies, tools, and equipment not incorporated into the project. Temporarily installed means the materials and products must be removed at the end of the project or may be removed at the Contractor's convenience with the Engineer's approval. 3-3 04-25 AV Cato Elementary Safe Routes to School City Project No. 104799 2024 Specifications 506-801 L Special Provision to Item 505 Temporary Erosion, sedimentation, and Environmental Controls Texas �et�t �r7tgnsportatton For this project, item 506, "Temporary Erosion, Sedimentation, and Environmental Controls," of the standard specifications, is hereby voided and replaced with the following. 1.

The following provision is adopted from 23 CFR Part 230, Subpart A, Appendix A, with appropriate revisions to conform to the U.S. Department of Labor (US DOL) and FHWA requirements. AV Cato Elementary Safe Routes to School City Project No. 104799 1. Equal Employment Opportunity: Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) requirements not to discriminate and to take affirmative action to assure equal opportunity as set forth under laws, executive orders, rules, regulations (see 28 CFR Part 35, 29 CFR Part 1630. 29 CFR Parts 1625-1627, 41 CFR Part 60 and 49 CFR Part 27) and orders of the Secretary of Labor as modified by the provisions prescribed herein, and imposed pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 140, shall constitute the EEC] and specific affirmative action standards for the contractor's project activities under this contract. The provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq.) set forth under 28 CFR Part 35 and 29 CFR Part 1630 are incorporated by reference in this contract. In the execution of this contract, the contractor agrees to comply with the following minimum specific requirement activities of EEO: a. The contractor will work with the contracting agency and the Federal Government to ensure that it has made every good faith effort to provide equal opportunity with respect to all of its terms and conditions of employment and in their review of activities under the contract. 23 CFR 230.409 (g)(4) & (5). b. The contractor will accept as its operating policy the following statement: "It is the policy of this Company to assure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment, without regard to their race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, color, national origin, age or disability. Such action shall include: employment, upgrading, demotion, or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship, pro -apprenticeship, and/or on-the-job training." 2. EEO Officer: The contractor will designate and make known to the contracting officers an EEO Officer who will have the responsibility for and must be capable of effectively administering and promoting an active EEO program and who must be assigned adequate authority and responsibility to do SO. 3. Dissemination of Policy: All members of the contractor's staff who are authorized to hire, supervise, promote, and discharge employees, or who recommend such action or are substantially involved in such action, will be made fully cognizant of and will implement the contractor's EEO policy and contractual responsibilKies to provide EEO in each grade and classification of employment. To ensure that the above agreement will be met, the following actions will be taken as a minimum: a. Periodic meetings of supervisory and personnel office employees will be conducted before the start of work and then not less often than once every six months, at which time the contractor's EEO policy and its implementation will be reviewed and explained. The meetings will be conducted by the EEO Officer or other knowledgeable company official. b. All new supervisory or personnel office employees will be given a thorough indoctrination by the EEO Officer, covering all major aspects of the contractor's EEO obligations within thirty days following their reporting for duty with the contractor. c. All personnel who are engaged in direct recruitment for the project will be instructed by the EEO Officer in the contractor's procedures for locating and hiring minorities and women. d. Notices and posters setting forth the contractor's EEO policy will be placed in areas readily accessible to employees, applicants for employment and potential employees. e. The contractor's EEO policy and the procedures to implement such policy will be brought to the attention of employees by means of meetings, employee handbooks, or other appropriate means. 4. Recruitment: When advertising for employees, the contractor will include in all advertisements for employees the notation: "An Equal Opportunity Employer." All such advertisements will be placed in publications having a large circulation among minorities and women in the area from which the project work force would normally be derived. a. The contractor will, unless precluded by a valid bargaining agreement, conduct systematic and direct recruitment through public and private employee referral sources likely to yield qualified minorities and women. To meet this requirement, the contractor will identity sources of potential minority group employees and establish with such identified sources procedures whereby minority and women applicants may be referred to the contractor for employment consideration. In. In the event the contractor has a valid bargaining agreement providing for exclusive hiring hall referrals, the contractor is expected to observe the provisions of that agreement to the extent that the system meets the contractor's compliance with EEO contract provisions. Where implementation of such an agreement has the effect of discriminating against minorities or women, or obligates the contractor to do the same, such implementation violates Federal nondiscrimination provisions. c. The contractor will encourage its present employees to refer minorities and women as applicants for employment. Information and procedures with regard to referring such applicants will be discussed with employees. S. Personnel Actions: Wages, working conditions, and employee benefits shall be established and administered, and personnel actions of every type, including hiring, upgrading, promotion, transfer, demotion, layoff, and termination, shall be taken without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age or disability. The following procedures shall be followed; a. The contractor will conduct periodic inspections of project sites to ensure that working conditions and employee facilities do not indicate discriminatory treatment of project site personnel. b. The contractor will periodically evaluate the spread of wages paid within each classification to determine any evidence of discriminatory wage practices. c. The contractor will periodically review selected personnel actions in depth to determine whether there is evidence of discrimination. Where evidence is found, the contractor will promptly take corrective action. ff the review indicates that the discrimination may extend beyond the actions reviewed, such corrective action shall include all affected persons. d. The contractor will promptly investigate all complaints of alleged discrimination made to the contractor in connection with its obligations under this contract, will attempt to resolve such complaints, and will take appropriate corrective action AV Cato Elementary Safe Routes to School Ciry Project No. 104799 within a reasonable time. If the investigation indicates that the discrimination may affect persons other than the complainant, such corrective action shall include such other persons. Upon completion of each investigation, the contractor will inform every complainant of all of their avenues of appeal. 6. Training and Promotion: a. The contractor will assist in locating, qualifying, and increasing the skills of minorities and women who are applicants for employment or current employees. Such efforts should be aimed at developing full journey level status employees in the type of trade or job classification involved. b. Consistent with the contractor's work force requirements and as permissible under Federal and State regulations, the contractor shall make full use of training programs (i.e., apprenticeship and on-the-job training programs for the geographical area of contract performance). In the event a special provision for training is provided under this contract, this subparagraph will be superseded as indicated in the special provision. The contracting agency may reserve training positions for persons who receive welfare assistance in accordance with 23 U.S.C. 140(a). c. The contractor will advise employees and applicants for employment of available training programs and entrance requirements for each. d. The contractor will periodically review the training and promotion potential of employees who are minorities and women and will encourage eligible employees to apply for such training and promotion. 7. Unions: If the contractor relies in whole or in part upon unions as a source of employees, the contractor will use good faith efforts to obtain the cooperation of such unions to increase opportunities for minorities and women. 23 CFR 230.409. Actions by the contractor, either directly or through a contractor's association acting as agent, will include the procedures set forth below: a. The contractor will use good faith efforts to develop, in cooperation with the unions, joint training programs aimed toward qualifying more minorities and women for membership in the unions and increasing the skills of minorities and women so that they may qualify for higher paying employment. b. The contractor will use good faith efforts to incorporate an EEO clause into each union agreement to the end that such union will be contractually bound to refer applicants without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, or disability. c. The contractor is to obtain information as to the referral practices and policies of the labor union except that to the extent such information is within the exclusive possession of the labor union and such labor union refuses to furnish such information to the contractor, the contractor shall so certify to the contracting agency and shall set forth what efforts have been made to obtain such information. d. In the event the union is unable to provide the contractor with a reasonable flow of referrals within the time limit set forth in the collective bargaining agreement, the contractor will, through independent recruitment efforts, fill the employment vacancies without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, or disability; making full efforts to obtain qualified and/or qualifiable minorities and women. The failure of a union to provide sufficient referrals (even though it is obligated to provide exclusive referrals under the terms of a collective bargaining agreement) does not relieve the contractor from the requirements of this paragraph. In the event the union referral practice prevents the contractor from meeting the obligations pursuant to Executive Order 11246, as amended, and these special provisions, such contractor shall immediately notify the contracting agency. 8. Reasonable Accommodation for Applicants / Employees with Disabilities: The contractor must be familiar with the requirements for and comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act and all rules and regulations established thereunder. Employers must provide reasonable accommodation in all employment activities unless to do so would cause an undue hardship. 9. Selection of Subcontractors, Procurement of Materials and Leasing of Equipment: The contractor shall not discriminate on the grounds of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, or disability in the selection and retention of subcontractors, including procurement of materials and leases of equipment. The contractor shall take all necessary and reasonable steps to ensure nondiscrimination in the administration of this contract. a. The contractor shall notify all potential subcontractors, suppliers, and lessors of their EEO obligations under this contract. b. The contractor will use good faith efforts to ensure subcontractor compliance with their EEO obligations. 10. Assurances Required: a. The requirements of 49 CFR Part 26 and the State DOT's FHWA-approved Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program are incorporated by reference. b. The contractor, subrecipient or subcontractor shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the performance of this contract. The contractor shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 CFR part 26 in the award and administration of DOT -assisted contracts. Failure by the contractor to carry out these requirements is a material breach of this contract, which may result in the termination of this contract or such other remedy as the recipient deems appropriate, which may include, but is not limited to: (1) Withholding monthly progress payments; (2) Assessing sanctions; (3) Liquidated damages; and/or (4) Disqualifying the contractor from future bidding as non - responsible. c. The Title VI and nondiscrimination provisions of U.S. DOT Order 1050.2A at Appendixes A and E are incorporated by reference. 49 CFR Part 21. 11. Records and Reports: The contractor shall keep such records as necessary to document compliance with the EEO requirements. Such records shall be retained for a period of three years following the date of the final payment to the contractor for all contract work and shall be available at reasonable times and places for inspection by authorized representatives of the contracting agency and the FHWA. a. The records kept by the contractor shall document the following: AV Cato Elementary Safe Routes to School City Project No. 104799 (1) The number and work hours of minority and non - minority group members and women employed in each work classification on the project; (2) The progress and efforts being made in cooperation with unions, when applicable, to increase employment opportunities for minorities and women; and (3) The progress and efforts being made in locating, hiring, training, qualifying, and upgrading minorities and women. b. The contractors and subcontractors will submit an annual report to the contracting agency each July for the duration of the project indicating the number of minority, women, and non - minority group employees currently engaged in each work classification required by the contract work. This information is to be reported on Form FHWA-1391. The staffing data should represent the project work farce on board in all or any part of the last payroll period preceding the end of July. If on-the-job training is being required by special provision, the contractor will be required to collect and report training data. The employment data should reflect the work force on board during all or any part of the last payroll period preceding the end of July. III. NONSEGREGATED FACILITIES This provision is applicable to all Federal -aid construction contracts and to all related construction subcontracts of more than $10,000. 41 CFR 60-1.5. As prescribed by 41 CFR 60-1.8, the contractor must ensure that facilities provided for employees are provided in such a manner that segregation on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin cannot result. The contractor may neither require such segregated use by written or oral policies nor tolerate such use by employee custom. The contractor's obligation extends further to ensure that its employees are not assigned to perform their services at any location under the contractor's control where the facilities are segregated. The term "facilities" includes waiting rooms, work areas, restaurants and other eating areas, time docks, restrooms, washrooms, locker rooms and other storage or dressing areas, parking lots, drinking fountains, recreation or entertainment areas, transportation, and housing provided for employees. The contractor shall provide separate or single -user restrooms and necessary dressing or sleeping areas to assure privacy between sexes. IV. DAVIS-BACON AND RELATED ACT PROVISIONS This section is applicable to all Federal -aid construction projects exceeding $2,0.04 and to all related subcontracts and lower -tier subcontracts (regardless of subcontract size), in accordance with 29 CFR 5.5. The requirements apply to all projects located within the right-of-way of a roadway that is functionally classified as Federal -aid highway. 23 U.S.C. 113. This excludes roadways functionally classified as local roads or rural minor collectors, which are exempt. 23 U.S.C. 101. Where applicable law requires that projects be treated as a project on a Federal -aid highway, the provisions of this subpart will apply regardless of the location of the project. Examples include: Surface Transportation Block Grant Program projects funded under 23 U.S.C. 133 [excluding recreational trails projects], the Nationally Significant Freight and Highway Projects funded under 23 U.S.C. 117, and National Highway Freight Program projects funded under 23 U.S.C. 167. The following provisions are from the U.S. Department of Labor regulations in 29 CFR 5.5 "Contract provisions and related matters" with minor revisions to oonform to the FHWA- 1273 format and FHWA program requirements. 1. Minimum wages (29 CFR 5.5) a. Wage rates and fringe benefits. AM laborers and mechanics employed or working upon the site of the work (or otherwise working in construction or development of the project under a development statute), will be paid unconditionally and not less often than once a week, and without subsequent deduction or rebate on any account (except such payroll deductions as are permitted by regulations issued by the Secretary of Labor under the Copeland Act (29 CFR part 3)), the full amount of basic hourly wages and bona fide fringe benefits (or cash equivalents thereof} due at time of payment computed at rates not less than those contained in the wage determination of the Secretary of Labor which is attached hereto and made a part hereof, regardless of any contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist between the contractor and such laborers and mechanics. As provided in paragraphs (d) and (e) of 29 CFR 5.5, the appropriate wage determinations are effective by operation of law even if they have not been attached to the contract. Contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits under the Davis -Bacon Act (4Q U.S.C. 314100) on behalf of laborers or mechanics are considered wages paid to such laborers or mechanics, subject to the provisions of paragraph 1.e, of this section; also, regular contributions made or costs incurred for more than a weekly period (but not less often than quarterly) under plans, funds, or programs which cover the particular weekly period, are deemed to be constructively made or incurred during such weekly period. Such laborers and mechanics must be paid the appropriate wage rate and fringe benefits on the wage determination for the classification(s) of work actually performed, without regard to skill, except as provided in paragraph 4. of this section. Laborers or mechanics performing work in more than one classification may be compensated at the rate specified for each classification for the time actually worked therein: Provided, That the employer's payroll records accurately set forth the time spent in each classification in which work is performed, The wage determination (including any additional classifications and wage rates conformed under paragraph 1.c. of this section) and the Davis -Bacon poster (WH-1321) must be posted at all times by the contractor and its subcontractors at the site of the work in a prominent and accessible place where it can be easily seen by the workers. b. Frequently recurring classifications. (1) In addition to wage and fringe benefit rates that have been determined to be prevailing under the procedures set forth in 29 CFR part 1, a wage determination may contain, pursuant to § 1.3(f), wage and fringe benefit rates for classifications of laborers and mechanics for which conformance requests are regularly submitted pursuant to paragraph 1.c, of this section, provided that; (i) The work performed by the classification is not performed by a classification in the wage determination for which a prevailing wage rate has been determined; AV Cato Elementary Safe Routes to School City Project No. 104799 (ii) The classification is used in the area by the construction industry; and (iii) The wage rate for the classification bears a reasonable relationship to the prevailing wage rates contained in the wage determination. (2) The Administrator will establish wage rates for such classifications in accordance with paragraph 1.c.(1)(iii) of this section. Work performed in such a classification must be paid at no less than the wage and fringe benefit rate listed on the wage determination for such classification. c. Conformance. (1) The contracting officer must require that any class of laborers or mechanics, including helpers, which is not listed in the wage determination and which is to be employed under the contract be classified in conformance with the wage determination. Conformance of an additional classification and wage rate and fringe benefits is appropriate only when the following criteria have been met: (i) The work to be performed by the classification requested is not performed by a classification in the wage determination; and (ii) The classification is used in the area by the construction industry; and (iii) The proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a reasonable relationship to the wage rates contained in the wage determination. (2) The conformance process may not be used to split, subdivide, or otherwise avoid application of classifications listed in the wage determination. (3) If the contractor and the laborers and mechanics to be employed in the classification (if known), or their representatives, and the contracting officer agree on the classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits where appropriate), a report of the action taken will be sent by the contracting officer by email to DBAconformance(cdol.gov. The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will approve, modify, or disapprove every additional classification action within 30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting officer or will notify the contracting officer within the 30—day period that additional time is necessary. (4) In the event the contractor, the laborers or mechanics to be employed in the classification or their representatives, and the contracting officer do not agree on the proposed classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits, where appropriate), the contracting officer will, by email to DBAconformance(a)doLgov, refer the questions, including the views of all interested parties and the recommendation of the contracting officer, to the Administrator for determination. The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will issue a determination within 30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting officer or will notify the contracting officer within the 30—day period that additional time is necessary. (5) The contracting officer must promptly notify the contractor of the action taken by the Wage and Hour Division under paragraphs 1.c.(3) and (4) of this section. The contractor must furnish a written copy of such determination to each affected worker or it must be posted as a part of the wage determination. The wage rate (including fringe benefits where appropriate) determined pursuant to paragraph 1.c.(3) or (4) of this section must be paid to all workers performing work in the classification under this contract from the first day on which work is performed in the classification. d. Fringe benefits not expressed as an hourly rate. Whenever the minimum wage rate prescribed in the contract for a class of laborers or mechanics includes a fringe benefit which is not expressed as an hourly rate, the contractor may either pay the benefit as stated in the wage determination or may pay another bona fide fringe benefit or an hourly cash equivalent thereof. e. Unfunded plans. If the contractor does not make payments to a trustee or other third person, the contractor may consider as part of the wages of any laborer or mechanic the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing bona fide fringe benefits under a plan or program, Provided, That the Secretary of Labor has found, upon the written request of the contractor, in accordance with the criteria set forth in § 5.28, that the applicable standards of the Davis -Bacon Act have been met. The Secretary of Labor may require the contractor to set aside in a separate account assets for the meeting of obligations under the plan or program. f. Interest. In the event of a failure to pay all or part of the wages required by the contract, the contractor will be required to pay interest on any underpayment of wages. 2. Withholding (29 CFR 5.5) a. Withholding requirements. The contracting agency may, upon its own action, or must, upon written request of an authorized representative of the Department of Labor, withhold or cause to be withheld from the contractor so much of the accrued payments or advances as may be considered necessary to satisfy the liabilities of the prime contractor or any subcontractor for the full amount of wages and monetary relief, including interest, required by the clauses set forth in this section for violations of this contract, or to satisfy any such liabilities required by any other Federal contract, or federally assisted contract subject to Davis -Bacon labor standards, that is held by the same prime contractor (as defined in § 5.2). The necessary funds may be withheld from the contractor under this contract, any other Federal contract with the same prime contractor, or any other federally assisted contract that is subject to Davis -Bacon labor standards requirements and is held by the same prime contractor, regardless of whether the other contract was awarded or assisted by the same agency, and such funds may be used to satisfy the contractor liability for which the funds were withheld. In the event of a contractor's failure to pay any laborer or mechanic, including any apprentice or helper working on the site of the work all or part of the wages required by the contract, or upon the contractor's failure to submit the required records as discussed in paragraph 3.d. of this section, the contracting agency may on its own initiative and after written notice to the contractor, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds until such violations have ceased. b. Priority to withheld funds. The Department has priority to funds withheld or to be withheld in accordance with paragraph AV Cato Elementary Safe Routes to School City Project No. 104799 2.a. of this section or Section V, paragraph 3.a., or both, over claims to those funds by: (1) A contractor's surety(ies), including without limitation performance bond sureties and payment bond sureties; (2) A contracting agency for its reprocurement costs; (3) A trustee(s) (either a court -appointed trustee or a U.S. trustee, or both) in bankruptcy of a contractor, or a contractor's bankruptcy estate; (4) A contractor's assignee(s); (5) A contractor's successor(s); or (6) A claim asserted under the Prompt Payment Act, 31 U.S.C.3901-3907. 3. Records and certified payrolls (29 CFR 5.5) a. Basic record requirements (1) Length of record retention. All regular payrolls and other basic records must be maintained by the contractor and any subcontractor during the course of the work and preserved for all laborers and mechanics working at the site of the work (or otherwise working in construction or development of the project under a development statute) for a period of at least 3 years after all the work on the prime contract is completed. (2) Information required. Such records must contain the name; Social Security number; last known address, telephone number, and email address of each such worker; each worker's correct classification(s) of work actually performed; hourly rates of wages paid (including rates of contributions or costs anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits or cash equivalents thereof of the types described in 40 U.S.C. 3141 2 B of the Davis -Bacon Act); daily and weekly number of hours actually worked in total and on each covered contract; deductions made; and actual wages paid. (3) Additional records relating to fringe benefits. Whenever the Secretary of Labor has found under paragraph 1.e. of this section that the wages of any laborer or mechanic include the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing benefits under a plan or program described in 40 U.S.C. 3141(2)(B) of the Davis -Bacon Act, the contractor must maintain records which show that the commitment to provide such benefits is enforceable, that the plan or program is financially responsible, and that the plan or program has been communicated in writing to the laborers or mechanics affected, and records which show the costs anticipated or the actual cost incurred in providing such benefits. (4) Additional records relating to apprenticeship. Contractors with apprentices working under approved programs must maintain written evidence of the registration of apprenticeship programs, the registration of the apprentices, and the ratios and wage rates prescribed in the applicable programs. b. Certified payroll requirements (1) Frequency and method of submission. The contractor or subcontractor must submit weekly, for each week in which any DBA- or Related Acts - covered work is performed, certified payrolls to the contracting agency. The prime contractor is responsible for the submission of all certified payrolls by all subcontractors. A contracting agency or prime contractor may permit or require contractors to submit certified payrolls through an electronic system, as long as the electronic system requires a legally valid electronic signature; the system allows the contractor, the contracting agency, and the Department of Labor to access the certified payrolls upon request for at least 3 years after the work on the prime contract has been completed; and the contracting agency or prime contractor permits other methods of submission in situations where the contractor is unable or limited in its ability to use or access the electronic system. (2) Information required. The certified payrolls submitted must set out accurately and completely all of the information required to be maintained under paragraph 3.a.(2) of this section, except that full Social Security numbers and last known addresses, telephone numbers, and email addresses must not be included on weekly transmittals. Instead, the certified payrolls need only include an individually identifying number for each worker ( e.g., the last four digits of the worker's Social Security number). The required weekly certified payroll information may be submitted using Optional Form WH-347 or in any other format desired. Optional Form WH-347 is available for this purpose from the Wage and Hour Division website at https://www.dol.gov/sites/dolgov/files/WHD/ legacy/files/wh347/.pdf or its successor website. It is not a violation of this section for a prime contractor to require a subcontractor to provide full Social Security numbers and last known addresses, telephone numbers, and email addresses to the prime contractor for its own records, without weekly submission by the subcontractor to the contracting agency. (3) Statement of Compliance. Each certified payroll submitted must be accompanied by a "Statement of Compliance," signed by the contractor or subcontractor, or the contractor's or subcontractor's agent who pays or supervises the payment of the persons working on the contract, and must certify the following; (i) That the certified payroll for the payroll period contains the information required to be provided under paragraph 3.b. of this section, the appropriate information and basic records are being maintained under paragraph 3.a. of this section, and such information and records are correct and complete; (ii) That each laborer or mechanic (including each helper and apprentice) working on the contract during the payroll period has been paid the full weekly wages earned, without rebate, either directly or indirectly, and that no deductions have been made either directly or indirectly from the full wages earned, other than permissible deductions as set forth in 29 CFR part 3; and (iii) That each laborer or mechanic has been paid not less than the applicable wage rates and fringe benefits or cash equivalents for the classification(s) of work actually performed, as specified in the applicable wage determination incorporated into the contract. (4) Use of Optional Form WH-347. The weekly submission of a properly executed certification set forth on the reverse side of Optional Form WH-347 will satisfy the requirement for submission of the "Statement of Compliance' required by paragraph 3.b.(3) of this section. AV Cato Elementary Safe Routes to School City Project No. 104799 (5) Signature. The signature by the contractor, subcontractor, or the contractor's or subcontractor's agent must be an original handwritten signature or a legally valid electronic signature. (6) Falsification. The falsification of any of the above certifications may subject the contractor or subcontractor to civil or criminal prosecution under 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 31 U.S.C. 3729. (7) Length of certified payroll retention, The contractor or subcontractor must preserve all certified payrolls during the course of the work and for a period of 3 years after all the work on the prime contract is completed. c. Contracts, subcontracts, and related documents. The contractor or subcontractor must maintain this contract or subcontract and related documents including, without limitation, bids, proposals, amendments, modifications, and extensions. The contractor or subcontractor must preserve these contracts, subcontracts, and related documents during the course of the work and for a period of 3 years after all the work on the prime contract is completed. d. Required disclosures and access (1) Required record disclosures and access to workers. The contractor or subcontractor must make the records required under paragraphs 3.a. through 3.c. of this section, and any other documents that the contracting agency, the State DOT, the FHWA, or the Department of Labor deems necessary to determine compliance with the labor standards provisions of any of the applicable statutes referenced by § 5.1, available for inspection, copying, or transcription by authorized representatives of the contracting agency, the State DOT, the FHWA, or the Department of Labor, and must permit such representatives to interview workers during working hours on the job. (2) Sanctions for non-compliance with records and worker access requirements. If the contractor or subcontractor fails to submit the required records or to make them available, or refuses to permit worker interviews during working hours on the job, the Federal agency may, after written notice to the contractor, sponsor, applicant, owner, or other entity, as the case may be, that maintains such records or that employs such workers, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds. Furthermore, failure to submit the required records upon request or to make such records available, or to permit worker interviews during working hours on the job, may be grounds for debarment action pursuant to § 5.12. In addition, any contractor or other person that fails to submit the required records or make those records available to WHD within the time WHD requests that the records be produced will be precluded from introducing as evidence in an administrative proceeding under 29 CFR part & any of the required records that were not provided or made available to WHD. WHD will take into consideration a reasonable request from the contractor or person for an extension of the time for submission of records. WHD will determine the reasonableness of the request and may consider, among other things, the location of the records and the volume of production. (3) Required information disclosures. Contractors and subcontractors must maintain the full Social Security number and last known address, telephone number, and email address of each covered worker, and must provide them upon request to the contracting agency, the State DOT, the FHWA, the contractor, or the Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor for purposes of an investigation or other compliance action. 4. Apprentices and equal employment opportunity (29 CFR 5.5) a. Apprentices (1) Rate of pay. Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work they perform when they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a bona fide apprenticeship program registered with the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, Office of Apprenticeship (OA), or with a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the OA. A person who is not individually registered in the program, but who has been certified by the OA or a State Apprenticeship Agency (where appropriate) to be eligible for probationary employment as an apprentice, will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work they perform in the f rst 90 days of probationary employment as an apprentice in such a program. In the event the OA or a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the OA withdraws approval of an apprenticeship program, the contractor will no longer be permitted to use apprentices at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved. (2) Fringe benefits. Apprentices must be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the apprenticeship program. If the apprenticeship program does not specify fringe benefits, apprentices must be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination for the applicable classification. If the Administrator determines that a different practice prevails for the applicable apprentice classification, fringe benefits must be paid in accordance with that determination. (3) Apprenticeship ratio. The allowable ratio of apprentices to joumeyworkers on the job site in any craft classification must not be greater than the ratio permitted to the contractor as to the entire work force under the registered program or the ratio applicable to the locality of the project pursuant to paragraph 4.a.(4) of this section. Any worker listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who is not registered or otherwise employed as stated in paragraph 4.a.(1) of this section, must be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any apprentice performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under this section must be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. (4) Reciprocity of ratios and wage rates. Where a contractor is performing construction on a project in a locality other than the locality in which its program is registered, the ratios and wage rates (expressed in percentages of the joumeyworker's hourly rate) applicable within the locality in which the construction is being performed must be observed. If there is no applicable ratio or wage rate for the locality of the project, the ratio and wage rate specified in the contractor's registered program must be observed. b. Equal employment opportunity. The use of apprentices and journeyworkers under this part must be in conformity with AV Cato Elementary Safe Routes to School City Project No. 104799 the equal employment opportunity requirements of Executive Order 11246, as amended, and 29 CFR part 30. c. Apprentices and Trainees (programs of the U.S. DOT). Apprentices and trainees working under apprenticeship and skill training programs which have been certified by the Secretary of Transportatlon as promoting EEO in connection with Federal -aid highway construction programs are not subject to the requirements of paragraph 4 of this 5ectlon IV. 23 CFR 230.111(e)(2). The straight time hourly wage rates for apprentices and trainees under such programs will be established by the particular programs. The ratio of apprentices and trainees to joumeyworkers shall not be greater than permitted by the terms of the particular program. 5. Compliance with Copeland Act requirements. The contractor shall comply with the requirements of 29 CFR part 3, which are incorporated by reference in this contract as provided in 29 CFR 5.5. S. Subcontracts. The contractor or subcontractor must insert FHWA-1273 in any subcontracts, along with the applicable wage determinations) and such other clauses or contract modifications as the contracting agency may by appropriate instructions require, and a clause requiring the subcontractors to include these clauses and wage determination(s) in any lower tier subcontracts. The prime contractor is responsible for the compliance by any subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor with all the contract clauses in this section. In the event of any violations of these clauses, the prime contractor and any subcontractor(s) responsible will be liable for any unpaid wages and monetary relief, including interest from the date of the underpayment or loss, due to any workers of lower -tier subcontractors, and may be subject to debarment, as appropriate, 29 CFR 5.5. 7. Contract termination, debarment. A breach of the contract clauses in 29 CFR 5.5 may be grounds for termination of the contract, and for debarment as a contractor and a subcontractor as provided in 29 CFR 5.12. 8. Compliance with Davis -Bacon and Related Act requirements. All rulings and interpretations of the Davis - Bacon and Related Acts contained in 29 CFR parts 1, 3, and are herein incorporated by reference in this contract as provided i in 29 CFR 5.5. 8. Disputes concemin9 labor standards. As provided in 29 CFR 5.5, disputes arising out of the labor standards provisions of this contract shall not be subject to the general disputes clause of this contract. 5uch disputes shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures of the Department of Labor set forth in 29 GFR parts 5, 6, and 7. Disputes within the meaning of this clause include disputes between the contractor (or any of its subcontractors) and the contracting agency, the U.S. Department of Labor, or the employees or their representatives. 10. Certification of eligibility. a. By entering into this contract, the contractor certifies that neither it nor any person or firm who has an interest in the contractor's firm is a person or firm ineligible to be awarded Government contracts by virtue of 40 U.S.G. 3144(bl or § 5.12(a). b. No part of thls contract shall be subcontracted to any person or firm ineligible for award of a Government contract by virtue of 40 U.S.C. 3144(b) or § 5.12(a). c. The penalty for making false statements is prescribed in the U.S. Code, Title 18 Crimes and Criminal Procedure, 18 U.5.C.1001. 11. Anti -retaliation. It is unlawful for any person to discharge, demote, intimidate, threaten, restrain, coerce, blacklist, harass, or in any other manner discriminate against, or to cause any person to discharge, demote, intimidate, threaten, restrain, coerce, blacklist, harass, or in any other manner discriminate against, any worker or job applicant for: a.

CONTRACT WORK HOURS AND SAFETY STANDARDS ACT Pursuant to 29 CFR 5.5(b), the following clauses apply to any Federal -aid construction contract in an amount in excess of $100,000 and subject to the overtime provisions of the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act. These clauses shall be inserted in addition to the clauses required by 29 CFR 5.5(a) or 29 CFR 4.6. As used in this paragraph, the terms laborers and mechanics include watchpersons and guards. 1. Overtime requirements. No contractor or subcontractor contracting for any part of the contract work which may require or involve the employment of laborers or mechanics shall require or permit any such laborer or mechanic in any workweek in which he or she is employed on such work to work in excess of forty hours in such workweek unless such laborer or mechanic receives compensation at a rate not less than one and one-half times the basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of forty hours in such workweek. 29 CFR 5.5. 2. Violation; liability for unpaid wages; liquidated damages. In the event of any violation of the clause set forth in paragraph 1. of this section the contractor and any subcontractor responsible therefor shall be liable for the unpaid wages and interest from the date of the underpayment.

Such liquidated damages shall be computed with respect to each individual laborer or AV Cato Elementary Safe Routes to School City Project No. 104799 mechanic, including watchpersons and guards, employed in violation of the clause set forth in paragraph 1. of this section, in the sum currently provided in 29 CFR 5.5(b)(2)* for each calendar day on which such individual was required or permitted to work in excess of the standard workweek of forty hours without payment of the overtime wages required by the clause set forth in paragraph 1. of this section. * $31 as of January 15, 2023 (See 88 FIR 88 FIR 2210) as may be adjusted annually by the Department of Labor, pursuant to the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990. 3. Withholding for unpaid wages and liquidated damages a. Withholding process. The FHWA or the contracting agency may, upon its own action, or must, upon written request of an authorized representative of the Department of Labor, withhold or cause to be withheld from the contractor so much of the accrued payments or advances as may be considered necessary to satisfy the liabilities of the prime contractor or any subcontractor for any unpaid wages; monetary relief, including interest; and liquidated damages required by the clauses set forth in this section on this contract, any other Federal contract with the same prime contractor, or any other federally assisted contract subject to the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act that is held by the same prime contractor (as defined in § 5.2). The necessary funds may be withheld from the contractor under this contract, any other Federal contract with the same prime contractor, or any other federally assisted contract that is subject to the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act and is held by the same prime contractor, regardless of whether the other contract was awarded or assisted by the same agency, and such funds may be used to satisfy the contractor liability for which the funds were withheld. b. Priority to withheld funds. The Department has priority to funds withheld or to be withheld in accordance with Section IV paragraph 2.a. or paragraph 3.a. of this section, or both, over claims to those funds by: (1) A contractor's surety(ies), including without limitation performance bond sureties and payment bond sureties; (2) A contracting agency for its reprocurement costs; (3) A trustee(s) (either a court -appointed trustee or a U.S. trustee, or both) in bankruptcy of a contractor, or a contractor's bankruptcy estate; (4) A contractor's assignee(s); (5) A contractor's successor(s); or (6) A claim asserted under the Prompt Payment Act, 31 U.S.C.3901-3907. 4.

VI. SUBLETTING OR ASSIGNING THE CONTRACT This provision is applicable to all Federal -aid construction contracts on the National Highway System pursuant to 23 CFR 635.116. 1. The contractor shall perform with its own organization contract work amounting to not less than 30 percent (or a greater percentage if specified elsewhere in the contract) of the total original contract price, excluding any specialty items designated by the contracting agency. Specialty items may be performed by subcontract and the amount of any such specialty items performed may be deducted from the total original contract price before computing the amount of work required to be performed by the contractor's own organization (23 CFR 635.116). a. The term "perform work with its own organization" in paragraph 1 of Section VI refers to workers employed or leased by the prime contractor, and equipment owned or rented by the prime contractor, with or without operators. Such term does not include employees or equipment of a subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor, agents of the prime contractor, or any other assignees. The term may include payments for the costs of hiring leased employees from an employee leasing firm meeting all relevant Federal and State regulatory requirements. Leased employees may only be included in this term if the prime contractor meets all of the following conditions: (based on longstanding interpretation) (1) the prime contractor maintains control over the supervision of the day-to-day activities of the leased employees; (2) the prime contractor remains responsible for the quality of the work of the leased employees; AV Cato Elementary Safe Routes to School City Project No. 104799 (3) the prime contractor retains all power to accept or exclude individual employees from work on the project; and (4) the prime contractor remains ultimately responsible for the payment of predetermined minimum wages, the submission of payrolls, statements of compliance and all other Federal regulatory requirements. b. "Specialty Items" shall be construed to be limited to work that requires highly specialized knowledge, abilities, or equipment not ordinarily available in the type of contracting organizations qualified and expected to bid or propose on the contract as a whole and in general are to be limited to minor components of the overall contract. 23 CFR 635.102. 2. Pursuant to 23 CFR 635.116(a), the contract amount upon which the requirements set forth in paragraph (1) of Section VI is computed includes the cost of material and manufactured products which are to be purchased or produced by the contractor under the contract provisions. 3. Pursuant to 23 CFR 635.116(c), the contractor shall furnish (a) a competent superintendent or supervisor who is employed by the firm, has full authority to direct performance of the work in accordance with the contract requirements, and is in charge of all construction operations (regardless of who performs the work) and (b) such other of its own organizational resources (supervision, management, and engineering services) as the contracting officer determines is necessary to assure the performance of the contract, 4. No portion of the contract shall be sublet, assigned or otherwise disposed of except with the written consent of the contracting officer, or authorized representative, and such consent when given shall not be construed to relieve the contractor of any responsibility for the fulfillment of the contract.
