Pate Safe Routes to School (SRTS) project (City Project No. 104798). The scope of work for the A. M.

These improvements include approximately 1.4 miles of new concrete sidewalks with associated Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant curb ramps, the installation of curb and gutter, reconstruction of driveways to be ADA compliant, installation of signage and pavement markings, and adjustment of water meters and water valve boxes. The City of Fort Worth advertised for the Worth Star -Telegram on January 28, 2026, received the following four (4) bids: Bidder construction of the A. M.

Amount $825,377.00 $988,548.78 $1,046,144.96 $1,515,925.00 The Transportation and Public Works Department reviewed the bids and determined that XIT Paving and Construction, Inc. was the lowest responsive bidder. The low bid was approximately 37 percent below the engineer's pre -bid estimate of $1,553,508.00 and approximately 14 percent below the bid average of $1,161,154.42. This project will be constructed through a previously executed Advance Funding Agreement (AFA) with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) (M&C 23-0874; City Secretary Contract No. 60485; CSJ 0902-90-293). 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 replaced its goal program with Texas VetHUB. There was no VetHUB goal established by TxDOT. Total project funding is as follows: apps.cfwnet.org/council_packet/mc_review.asp?

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.

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.

Failure to require the removal of any defective Work shall not constitute acceptance of such Work. B. When correcting defective Work under the terms of this Paragraph 13.06 or Paragraph 13.07, Contractor shall take no action that would void or otherwise impair City's special warranty and guarantee, if any, on said Work. 13.07 Correction Period A. If within two (2) years after the date of Final Acceptance (or such longer period of time as may be prescribed by the terms of any applicable special guarantee required by the Contract Documents), any Work is found to be defective, or if the repair of any damages to the land or areas made available for Contractor's use by City or permitted by Laws and Regulations as contemplated in Paragraph 6.10.A is found to be defective, Contractor shall promptly, without cost to City and in accordance with City's written instructions: 1. repair such defective land or areas; or 2. correct such defective Work; or 3. if the defective Work has been rejected by City, remove it from the Project and replace it with Work that is not defective, and 4. satisfactorily correct or repair or remove and replace any damage to other Work, to the work of others or other land or areas resulting therefrom.

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 correction or repair or such removal and replacement (including but not limited to all costs of repair or replacement of work of others) will be paid by Contractor.

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. If any such acceptance occurs prior to Final Acceptance, 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, reflecting the diminished value of Work so accepted. 13.09 City May Correct Defective Work A. If Contractor fails within a reasonable time after written notice from City to correct defective Work, or to remove and replace rejected Work as required by City in accordance with Paragraph 13.06.A, or if Contractor fails to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents, or if Contractor fails to comply with any other provision of the Contract Documents, City may, after seven (7) days written notice to Contractor, correct, or remedy any such deficiency.

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 STANDARD CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATION DOCUMENTS Revision: September 1,2025 "Pate Safe Routes to School City Project Number 104798 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.

If payment is requested on the basis of materials and equipment not incorporated in the Work but delivered and suitably stored at the Site or at another location agreed to in writing, the Application for Payment shall also be accompanied by a bill of sale, invoice, or other documentation warranting that City has received the materials and equipment free and clear of all Liens and evidence that the materials and equipment are covered by appropriate insurance or other arrangements to protect City's interest therein, all of which must be satisfactory to City. 4. Beginning with the second Application for Payment, each Application shall include an affidavit of Contractor stating that previous progress payments received on account of the Work have been applied on account to discharge Contractor's legitimate obligations associated with prior Applications for Payment. 5.

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 c. 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 STANDARD CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATION DOCUMENTS Revision: September 1,2025 "Pate Safe Routes to School City Project Number 104798 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 final completion of the Work is significantly delayed, and if City so confirms, City may, upon receipt of Contractor's final Application for Payment, and without terminating the Contract, make payment of the balance due for that portion of the Work fully completed and accepted. If the remaining balance to be held by City for Work not fully completed or corrected is less than the retainage stipulated in Paragraph 14.02.C, and if bonds have been furnished as required in Paragraph 5.02, the written consent of the surety to the payment of the balance due for that CITY OF FORT WORTH STANDARD CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATION DOCUMENTS Revision: September 1,2025 AM Pate Safe Routes to School City Project Number 104798 00 72 00 -1 GENERAL CONDITIONS Page 57 of 63 portion of the Work fully completed and accepted shall be submitted by Contractor to City with the Application for such payment.

For a Contract that provides for a separate vegetative establishment and maintenance, and test and performance periods following the completion of all other construction in the Contract Documents for all Work locations, the City may release a portion of the amount retained provided that all other work is completed as determined by the City. Before the release, all submittals and final quantities must be completed and accepted for all other work. An amount sufficient to ensure Contract compliance will be retained. 14.09 Waiver of Claims The acceptance of final payment will constitute a release of the City from all claims or liabilities under the Contract for anything done or furnished or relating to the work under the Contract Documents or any act or neglect of City related to or connected with the Contract. ARTICLE 15 — SUSPENSION OF WORK AND TERMINATION 15.01 City May Suspend Work A. At any time and without cause, City may suspend the Work or any portion thereof by written notice to Contractor and which may fix the date on which Work will be resumed. Contractor shall resume the Work on the date so fixed. During temporary suspension of the Work covered by these Contract Documents, for any reason, the City will make no extra payment for stand-by time of construction equipment and/or construction crews.

The occurrence of any one or more of the following events by way of example, but not of limitation, may justify termination for cause: 1. Contractor's persistent failure to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents (including, but not limited to, failure to supply sufficient skilled workers or suitable materials or equipment, failure to adhere to the Project Schedule established under Paragraph 2.07 as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Paragraph 6.04, or failure to adhere to the City's Business Diversity Enterprise Ordinance #20020-12-2011 established under Paragraph 6.06.D); 2.

Substantial evidence that the Contractor has become insolvent or bankrupt, or otherwise financially unable to carry on the Work satisfactorily; or 8. Contractor commences legal action in a court of competent jurisdiction against the City. B. If one or more of the events identified in Paragraph 15.02A. occur, City will provide written notice to Contractor and Surety to arrange a conference with Contractor and Surety to address Contractor's failure to perform the Work. Conference shall be held not later than 15 days, after receipt of notice. 1. If the City, the Contractor, and the Surety do not agree to allow the Contractor to proceed to perform the construction Contract, the City may, to the extent permitted by Laws and Regulations, declare a Contractor default and formally terminate the Contractor's right to complete the Contract. Contractor default shall not be declared earlier than 20 days after the Contractor and Surety have received notice of conference to address Contractor's failure to perform the Work. 2. If Contractor's services are terminated, Surety shall be obligated to take over and perform the Work. If Surety does not commence performance thereof within 15 consecutive calendar days after date of an additional written notice demanding Surety's performance of its CITY OF FORT WORTH STANDARD CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATION DOCUMENTS Revision: September 1,2025 AM Pate Safe Routes to School City Project Number 104798 00 72 00 - 1 GENERAL CONDITIONS Page 59 of 63 obligations, then City, without process or action at law, may take over any portion of the Work and complete it as described below. a.

If the unpaid balance of the Contract Price exceeds all claims, costs, losses and damages sustained by City arising out of or resulting from completing the Work, such excess will be paid to Contractor. If such claims, costs, losses and damages exceed such unpaid balance, Contractor shall pay the difference to City. Such claims, costs, losses and damages incurred by City will be incorporated in a Change Order, provided that when exercising any rights or remedies under this Paragraph, City shall not be required to obtain the lowest price for the Work performed. 4. Neither City, nor any of its respective consultants, agents, officers, directors or employees shall be in any way liable or accountable to Contractor or Surety for the method by which the completion of the said Work, or any portion thereof, may be accomplished or for the price paid therefor. 5. City, notwithstanding the method used in completing the Contract, shall not forfeit the right to recover damages from Contractor or Surety for Contractor's failure to timely complete the entire Contract. Contractor shall not be entitled to any claim on account of the method used by City in completing the Contract. 6. Maintenance of the Work shall continue to be Contractor's and Surety's responsibilities as provided for in the bond requirements of the Contract Documents or any special guarantees provided for under the Contract Documents or any other obligations otherwise prescribed by law. C. Notwithstanding Paragraphs 15.02.13, Contractor's services will not be terminated if Contractor begins within seven days of receipt of notice of intent to terminate to correct its failure to perform and proceeds diligently to cure such failure within no more than 30 days of receipt of said notice. D. Where Contractor's services have been so terminated by City, the termination will not affect any rights or remedies of City against Contractor then existing or which may thereafter accrue. Any retention or payment of moneys due Contractor by City will not release Contractor from liability. E. 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 AM Pate Safe Routes to School CITY OF FORT WORTH City Project Number 104798 STANDARD CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATION DOCUMENTS Revised October 6, 2023 013216-2 CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS SCHEDULE Page 2 of 10 1 Each project is represented by City's master project schedule that encompasses the 2 entire scope of activities envisioned by the City to properly deliver the work. When the 3 City contracts with a Contractor to perform construction of the Work, the Contractor 4 will develop and maintain a schedule for their scope of work in alignment with the 5 City's standard schedule requirements as defined herein. The data and information of 6 each such schedule will be leveraged and become integral in the master project 7 schedule as deemed appropriate by the City's Project Control Specialist and approved 8 by the City's Project Manager. 10 1. Master Project Schedule 11 The master project schedule is a holistic representation of the scheduled activities 12 and milestones for the total project and be Critical Path Method (CPM) based. The 13 City's Project Manager is accountable for oversight of the development and 14 maintaining a master project schedule for each project. When the City contracts for 15 the design and/or construction of the project, the master project schedule will 16 incorporate elements of the Design and Construction schedules as deemed 17 appropriate by the City's Project Control Specialist. The assigned City Project 18 Control Specialist creates and maintains the master project schedule in P6 (City's 19 scheduling software). 20 21 2. Construction Schedule 22 The Contractor is responsible for developing and maintaining a schedule for the 23 scope of the Contractor's contractual requirements. The Contractor will issue an 24 initial schedule for review and acceptance by the City's Project Control Specialist 25 and the City's Project Manager as a baseline schedule for Contractor's scope of 26 work. Contractor will issue current, accurate updates of their schedule (Progress 27 Schedule) to the City at the end of each month throughout the life of their work. 28 B. Schedule Tiers 29 The City has a portfolio of projects that vary widely in size, complexity and content 30 requiring different scheduling to effectively deliver each project. The City uses a 31 "tiered" approach to align the proper schedule with the criteria for each project. The 32 City's Project Manager determines the appropriate schedule tier for each project, and 33 includes that designation and the associated requirements in the Contractor's scope of 34 work. The following is a summary of the "tiers". 35 36 1. Tier 1: Small Size and Short Duration Project (design not required) 37 The City develops and maintains a Master Project Schedule for the project. No 38 schedule submittal is required from Contractor. City's Project Control Specialist 39 acquires any necessary schedule status data or information through discussions with 40 the respective party on an as -needed basis. 41 42 2. Tier 2: Small Size and Short to Medium Duration Project 43 The City develops and maintains a Master Project Schedule for the project. The 44 Contractor identifies "start" and "finish" milestone dates on key elements of their 45 work as agreed with the City's Project Manager at the kickoff of their work effort. 46 The Contractor issues to the City, updates to the "start" and "finish" dates for such 47 milestones at the end of each month throughout the life of their work on the project. 48 49 3. Tier 3: Medium and Large Size and/or Complex Projects Regardless of Duration AM Pate Safe Routes to School CITY OF FORT WORTH City Project Number 104798 STANDARD CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATION DOCUMENTS Revised October 6, 2023 013216-3 CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS SCHEDULE Page 3 of 10 1 The City develops and maintains a Master Project Schedule for the project. The 2 Contractor develops a Baseline Schedule and maintains the schedule of their 3 respective scope of work on the project at a level of detail (generally Level 3) and in 4 alignment with the WBS structure in Section 1.4.H as agreed by the Project 5 Manager. The Contractor issues to the City, updates of their respective schedule 6 (Progress Schedule) at the end of each month throughout the life of their work on the 7 project. 8 C. Schedule Types 9 Project delivery for the City utilizes two types of schedules as noted below. The City 10 develops and maintains a Master Project Schedule as a "baseline" schedule and issue 11 monthly updates to the City Project Manager (end of each month) as a "progress" 12 schedule. The Contractor prepares and submits each schedule type to fulfill their 13 contractual requirements. 14 15 1. Baseline Schedule 16 The Contractor develops and submits to the City, an initial schedule for their scope 17 of work in alignment with this specification. Once reviewed and accepted by the 18 City, it becomes the `Baseline" schedule and is the basis against which all progress 19 is measured. The baseline schedule will be updated when there is a change or 20 addition to the scope of work impacting the duration of the work, and only after 21 receipt of a duly authorized change order issued by the City. In the event progress is 22 significantly behind schedule, the City's Project Manager may authorize an update 23 to the baseline schedule to facilitate a more practical evaluation of progress. An 24 example of a Baseline Schedule is provided in Specification 0132 16.1 25 Construction Project Schedule Baseline Example. 26 27 2. Progress Schedule 28 The Contractor updates their schedule at the end of each month to represent the 29 progress achieved in the work which includes any impact from authorized changes 30 in the work. The updated schedule must accurately reflect the current status of the 31 work at that point in time and is referred to as the "Progress Schedule". The City's 32 Project Manager and Project Control Specialist reviews and accepts each progress 33 schedule. In the event a progress schedule is deemed not acceptable, the 34 unacceptable issues are identified by the City within 5 working days and the 35 Contractor must provide an acceptable progress schedule within 5 working days 36 after receipt of non -acceptance notification. An example of a Progress Schedule is 37 provided in Specification 0132 16.2 Construction Project Schedule Progress 38 Example. 39 D.

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 and be reflected in City's Master Project Schedule. The Project Number and Name of the 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 48 G.

The Contractor will establish a schedule calendar as 5 part of the schedule development process and provide to the Project Control Specialist 6 as part of the basis for their schedule. Variations between the City's calendar and the 7 Contractor's calendar must be resolved prior to the City's acceptance of their Baseline 8 project schedule. 9 10 H. WBS & Milestone Standards for Schedule Development 11 The scope of work to be accomplished by the Contractor is represented in the schedule 12 in the form of a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). The WBS is the basis for the 13 development of the schedule activities and shall be imbedded and depicted in the 14 schedule. 15 16 The following is a summary of the standards to be followed in preparing and 17 maintaining a schedule for project delivery. 18 19 1. Contractor is required to utilize the City's WBS structure and respective 20 project type template for "Construction" as shown in Section 1.4.11 below. 21 Additional activities may be added to Levels 1 - 4 to accommodate the needs 22 of the organization executing the work. Specifically, the Contractor will add 23 activities under WBS XXXXXX.80.83 "Construction Execution" that 24 delineates the activities associated with the various components of the work. 25 26 2. Contractor is required to adhere to the City's Standard Milestones as shown 27 in Section 1.4.I below. Contractor will include additional milestones 28 representing intermediate deliverables as required to accurately reflect their 29 scope of work. 30 31 I. Schedule Activities 32 Activities are the discrete elements of work that make up the schedule. They will be 33 organized under the umbrella of the WBS. Activity descriptions should adequately 34 describe the activity, and in some cases the extent of the activity. All activities are 35 logically tied with a predecessor and a successor. The only exception to this rule is for 36 "project start" and "project finish" milestones. 37 38 The activity duration is based on the physical amount of work to be performed for the 39 stated activity, with a maximum duration of 20 working days OR a continuous activity 40 in one location. If the work for any one activity exceeds 20 days, break that activity 41 down incrementally to achieve this duration constraint. Any exception to this requires 42 review and acceptance by the City's Project Control Specialist. 43 44 J. Change Orders 45 When a Change Order is issued by the City, the impact is incorporated into the 46 previously accepted baseline schedule as an update, to clearly show impact to the 47 project timeline.

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 new activity(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 of the Change Order. Revisions to the baseline schedule are not effective until accepted by the City. K.

Tolerances: The staked location of any improvement or facility should be as accurate as practical and necessary. 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 .0.1ft 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 producing no 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. The City reserves the right to request a calibration report at any time and recommends regular maintenance schedule be performed by a certified technician every 6 months. 1.

Explain Unresolved and/or Resolved Issues: Map ID F17 (other associated Map ID, F16) — The site, located at 4328 E Berry St., Fort Worth, TX 76105, operated as a retail gasoline filling station and then operated as a convenience store (Kim's Food Mart). The site is now closed. According to TCEQ Records Online, the site was issued an LPST case number in 1999. Information about the number and size of the USTs is not available. Sometime between 1999 and 2013 all UTSs and dispensers were removed. In 2013 TCEQ contracted EA Engineering, Science, and Technology, Inc. to perform a site assessment and install temporary and permanent monitoring wells to determine if groundwater was impacted. Results of the assessment activities at the site showed hydrocarbon concentrations in soil and groundwater over TCEQ action levels in the temporary monitor well and the monitor wells installed in the downgradient positions of the former UST line trench and tank pit. A Water Well Database Search and Receptor Survey showed no water wells located within a 0.5- mile radius of the site, with the only potential receptors being subsurface utilities located in the right-of-way to the east-southeast of the site. In August 2013 a TCEQ Final Site Closure Report was completed. The closure report stated that no remediation system was installed, and all borings/wells were plugged. Based on the regulatory information and distance of the site to proposed project, this site is considered a low environmental risk. See Photograph 2. Map ID G18 (other associated Map ID, G19) — The site, located at 3536 Miller Ave., Fort Worth, TX 76119, operated as a retail gasoline filling station and now operates as a convenience store (Ocean 7 Food Mart). In March 1997, one 3,000 gallon, one 2,000 gallon, one 1,250 gallon, and two 1,000 gallon gasoline USTs were removed. In addition, one 500-gallon (used oil) UST was removed. According to TCEQ Records Online, in April 1997 sample results from the site revealed that the native soils were impacted with petroleum hydrocarbons. The contaminant plume was limited and confined primarily on -site. No groundwater was impacted. In September 1997 a Final Site Closure Report was completed. Based on the regulatory information and distance of the site to the proposed project, this site is considered a low environmental risk. See Photograph 3. Map ID H22 (other associated Map ID, H21) — The site, located at 3501 Miller Ave., Fort Worth, TX 76119, operates as a retail gasoline filling station and convenience store (Buddha Food Mart). The site currently operates three 12,000-gallon gasoline USTs, which replaced three 12,000-gallon gasoline USTs that were removed from the ground in August 1990. In July 1989, the site failed a tank test and became an LPST site. In 1997 an environmental site assessment was conducted as part of a real estate investigation. The release of hydrocarbons was confirmed and groundwater was impacted. Soil remediation and site cleanup occurred in October 1997. Annual groundwater monitoring occurred from 1998 to 2000. In April of 2000 a Final Closure Report was completed. Based on the regulatory information and distance of the site to the proposed project, this is considered allow environmental risk. See Photograph 4. Map ID 123 (other associated Map ID 124) — The site, located at 4113 Miller Ave., Fort Worth, TX, 76119), operated as a retail gasoline filling station and now operates as a convenience store. A review of TCEQ Central Registry and Records Online did not reveal any information regarding the size and number of the USTs that were utilized. According to the regulatory database report, the site became an LPST site in January of 1998. No groundwater was impacted. Final Closure was issued in July 1998. Based on the regulatory information and distance of the site to the proposed project, this is considered allow environmental risk. See Photograph 5.

Clean and repair all of these features if they weren't properly protected at contractor's expense. This work is subsidiary work to applicable bid items. Prevention of Migratory Bird Nesting It is anticipated that migratory birds, a protected group of species, may try to nest on bridges, culverts, vegetation, or gravel substrate, at any time of the year. The preferred nesting season for migratory birds is from February 15 through October 1. When practicable, schedule construction operations outside of the preferred nesting season. Otherwise, avoid nests containing migratory birds and perform no work in the nesting areas until the young birds have fledged. Structures Do not begin bridge and culvert construction operations until swallow nesting prevention is implemented, until after October 1 if it's determined that swallow nesting is actively occurring, or until it's determined swallow nests have been abandoned. If the State installed nesting deterrent on the bridges and culverts, maintain the existing nesting deterrent to prevent swallow nesting until October 1 or completion of the bridge and culvert work, whichever occurs earlier. If new nests are built and occupied after the beginning of the work, do not perform work that can interfere with or discourage swallows from returning to their nests. Prevention of swallow nesting can be performed by one of the following methods: 1. By February 15 begin the removal of any existing mud nests and all other mud placed by swallows for the construction of nests on any portion of the bridge and culverts. The Engineer will inspect the bridges and culverts for nest building activity. If swallows begin nest building, scrape or wash down all nest sites. Perform these activities daily unless the Engineer determines the need to do this work more frequently. Remove nests and mud through October 1 or until bridge and culvert construction operations are completed. 2. By February 15 place a nesting deterrent (which prevents access to the bridge and culvert by swallows) on the entire bridge (except deck and railing) and culverts. No extension of time or compensation payment will be granted for a delay or suspension of work caused by nesting swallows. This work is subsidiary to the various bid items. The following Holiday/Event lane closure restriction requirements apply to this project: No work that restricts or interferes with traffic shall be allowed between 3 PM on the day preceding a Holiday or Event and 9 AM on the day after the Holiday or Event.

Submit for approval proposed measures to protect the concrete from anticipated freezing weather for the first 72 hr. after placement. Repair or replace all concrete damaged by freezing. 4.8. Spreading and Finishing. Finish all concrete pavement using approved self-propelled equipment. Use power -driven spreaders, power -driven vibrators, power -driven strike -off screed, or approved alternate equipment to strike -off the surface of the concrete to the required section and grade without surface voids. Use float equipment for final finishing. Use concrete with a consistency that allows completion of all finishing operations without addition of water to the surface. Use the minimal amount of water fog mist necessary to maintain a moist surface. Reduce fogging if float or straightedge operations result in excess slurry. 4.8.1. Finished Surface. Perform sufficient checks using a minimum 10-ft. long straightedge on the plastic concrete to ensure the final surface is within the tolerances specified in Surface Test A in accordance with Item 585, "Ride Quality for Pavement Surfaces." Check with the straightedge parallel to the centerline. 4.8.2. Maintenance of Surface Moisture. Prevent surface drying of the pavement before application of the curing system by means that may include water fogging, the use of wind screens, or the use of evaporation retardants. Apply evaporation retardant at the manufacturer's recommended rate. Reapply the evaporation retardant as needed to maintain the concrete surface in a moist condition until curing system is applied. Do not use evaporation retardant as a finishing aid. Failure to take acceptable precautions to prevent surface drying of the pavement will be cause for shutdown of pavement operations. 4.8.3. Surface Texturing. Complete final texturing before the concrete has attained its initial set. Drag the carpet longitudinally along the pavement surface with the carpet contact surface area adjusted to provide a satisfactory coarsely textured surface. Prevent grout from plugging the carpet. Do not perform carpet dragging operations while there is excessive bleed water. A metal -tine texture finish is required unless otherwise shown on the plans. Provide longitudinal tining unless otherwise shown on the plans. Immediately following the carpet drag, apply a single coat of evaporation retardant, if needed. at the rate recommended by the manufacturer. Provide the metal -tine finish immediately after the concrete surface has set enough for consistent tining. Operate the metal -tine device to obtain grooves approximately 3/16 in, deep, with a minimum depth of 1/8 in., and approximately 1/12 in, wide. Do not overlap a previously tined area. Use manual methods to achieve similar results on ramps, small or irregular areas, and narrow width sections of pavements. Repair damage to the edge of the slab and joints immediately after texturing. Do not tine pavement that will be overlaid or that is scheduled for blanket diamond grinding or shot blasting, Target a carpet drag texture of 0,04 in., as measured by Tex-436-A, when carpet drag is the only surface texture required on the plans. Ensure adequate and consistent macro -texture is achieved by applying enough weight to the carpet and by keeping grout from plugging the carpet, Correct any location with a texture less than 0.03 in. by diamond grinding or shot blasting. The Engineer will determine the test locations at points located transversely to the direction of traffic in the outside wheel path, 4.8.4. Small, Irregular Area, or Narrow Width Placements. Use hand equipment and procedures that produce a consolidated and finished pavement section to the line and grade where machine placements and finishing of concrete pavement are not practical. 4.8.5. Emergency Procedures. Use hand -operated equipment for applying texture, evaporation retardant, and cure in the event of equipment breakdown. 4.9. Curing. Keep the concrete pavement surface from drying in accordance with Section 360.4.8,2., "Maintenance of Surface Moisture," until the curing material has been applied. Maintain and promptly repair damage to curing materials on exposed surfaces of concrete pavement continuously for at least 3 curing days. A curing day is defined as a 24-hr. period when either the temperature taken in the shade away from AM Pate Safe Routes to School City Project Numher 104798 2024 Specifications 360 artificial heat is above 50'F for at least 19 hr. or the surface temperature of the concrete is maintained above 40°F for 24 hr. Curing begins when the concrete curing system has been applied. Stop concrete paving if curing compound is not being applied promptly and maintained adequately. Other methods of curing in accordance with Item 422 may be used when specified or approved. 4.9.1. Membrane Curing. Spray the concrete surface uniformly with two coats of membrane curing compound at an individual application rate of no more than 180 sq. ft. per gallon. Apply the curing compound before allowing the concrete surface to dry. Manage finishing and texturing operations to ensure placement of curing compound on a moist concrete surface, relatively free of bleed water, to prevent any plastic shrinkage from cracking. Time the application of curing compound to prevent plastic shrinkage from cracking. Maintain curing compounds in a uniformly agitated condition, free of settlement before and during application. Do not thin or dilute the curing compound. Apply additional compound at the same rate of coverage to correct damage where the coating shows discontinuities or other defects or if rain falls on the newly coated surface before the film has dried enough to resist damage.

Limits for applying a payment adjustment for deficient pavement thickness are 500 ft, units of pavement in each lane. Lane width will be as shown on typical sections and in conformance with pavement design standards. The limits for retaining deficient pavement without compensation or removing and replacing without additional compensation will be defined by coring or equivalent nondestructive means as determined by the Engineer. The remaining portion of the 500-ft. unit allowed for pay adjustment will be subject to the payment adjustment based on the average core thickness deficiency at each end of the 10-ft. interval investigation as determined by the Engineer. Shoulders will be measured for thickness unless otherwise shown on the plans. Shoulders 6 ft. wide or wider will be considered as lanes. Shoulders less than 6 ft. wide will be considered part of the adjacent lane. Shoulders less than 6 ft. wide and placed separately from the adjacent lane will be considered as a lane. Limits for applying payment adjustment for deficient pavement thickness for ramps, widenings. acceleration and deceleration lanes, and other miscellaneous areas are 500-ft. units. Areas less than 500-ft. units will be individually evaluated for payment adjustment based on the plan area. 4.15.1.2. Verification of Thickness Deficiencies. When any fresh depth test measured in accordance with Tex-423-A is deficient by more than 0.50 in, from the plan thickness, take one 4-in, diameter core at that location to verify the measurement. AM Pate Safe Roues to School City Project Number 104798 2024 Specifications 360 When determining the average thickness deficiency for assessing a pay adjustment other than retaining pavement without compensation or remove and replace as shown in Table 1, take at least two additional cores from the unit, in accordance with Section 360.4.15.1.1., "Assessing Payment Adjustments," equidistantly spaced from the first core in each direction if the first core is deficient by more than 0.50 in. from the plan thickness. Measure the length of cores in accordance with Tex-424-A. Determine the average thickness by averaging the lengths of the cores. Subtract the calculated average thickness from the plan thickness to determine the average thickness deficiency. In calculations of the average thickness. measurements exceeding the plan thickness by more than 0.2 in. will be considered as the plan thickness plus 0.2 in. When determining the limits for retaining the deficient pavement without compensation or remove and replace without additional compensation, take additional cores at 10-ft, intervals in each direction parallel to the centerline to determine the boundary of the deficient area if the first core length deficiency is more than 1.00 in. for pavements less than 11 in. thick or more than 1.50 in. for pavements 11 in. or thicker. Continue taking cores at 10-ft. intervals until the core length deficiency is less than 1.00 in, for pavements less than 11 in, thick or less than 1.50 in. for pavements 11 in. or thicker. 4.15.2.

Retroreflectivity Measurements, Use a mobile retroreflectometer to measure the retroreflectivity of markings for Contracts with more than 50,000 total ft, of longitudinal pavement markings, unless otherwise shown on the plans. For Contracts between 20,000 and 50,000 total ft. of longitudinal pavement markings, mobile or portable retroreflectometers may be used at the Contractor's discretion. Coordinate with and obtain authorization from the Engineer before starting any retroreflectivity data collection, Use a portable retroreflectometer for measuring the wet continuous retroreflectivity in accordance with ASTM E2832. Notify the Department when wet retroreflectivity measurements are to be taken. The Department will observe the wet retroreflectivity readings. 4.6.1. Mobile Retroreflectometer Measurements. Provide mobile measurement averages for every 0.1 mi. unless otherwise specified or approved. Take measurements on each section of roadway for each series of markings (e.g„ edgeline, center skip line, and each line of a double line) and for each direction of traffic flow, Measure each line in both directions for centerlines on two-way roadways (i.e„ measure both double solid lines in both directions and measure all center skip lines in both directions). Furnish measurements in accordance with Item 667, "Mobile Retroreflectivity Data Collection for Pavement Markings," unless otherwise approved. The Engineer may require a field comparison check using a calibrated portable retroreflectometer for verification and to ensure accuracy. Use all equipment in conformance with the manufacturer's recommendations and directions. Inform the Engineer and TTI at least 24 hr. before taking any measurements. A marking meets the retroreflectivity requirements if: ■ the combined average retroreflectivity measurement for a 1-mi. segment meets the minimum retroreflectivity values specified and no more than 30% of the retroreflectivity measurement values are below the minimum retroreflectivity requirements value within that 1-mi. segment; or ■ the combined average retroreflectivity measurement for a 1-mi. segment does not meet the minimum retroreflectivity values specified, but no more than 20% of the retroreflectivity measurements within that 1-mi. segment are below the minimum retroreflectivity requirement. The 1-mi. segment will start from the beginning of the data collection and end after a mile's worth of measurements have been taken. Each subsequent mile of measurements will be a new segment. Centerlines with two stripes (either solid or broken) will result in 2 mi. of data for each mile segment. Each centerline stripe must be tested for compliance as a stand-alone stripe. Restripe at the Contractor's expense if the markings fail retroreflectivity requirements. Take retroreflectivity measurements of all restriped markings following the time interval allowed based on the type of marking and the pavement surface for the latest application. For all Type I markings, if the restripe application does not meet minimum retroreflectivity requirements or the initial stripe combined with the restripe exceeds 0.180 in. (180 mils), the Engineer may require: 6 AM Pate Safe Routes to School City Project Number 104798 2024 Specifications 666 ■ removal of all existing markings, ■ a new application as initially specified: and ■ a repeat of the application process until minimum retroreflectivity requirements are met. For all Type III markings, if the first application does not meet minimum retroreflectivity requirements, the Engineer may require removal of all existing markings, a new application as initially specified, and a repeat of the application process until minimum retroreflectivity requirements are met. 4.6.2. Portable Retroreflectometer Measurements. For non -all-weather markings, provide portable measurement averages for every 1.0 mi. unless otherwise specified or approved. Using a portable reflectometer, take at least 20 measurements for each 1-mi. section of roadway for each series of markings (e.g.. edgeline, center skip line. and each line of a double line) and direction of traffic flow. Measure each line in both directions for centerlines on two-way roadways (i.e., measure both double solid lines in both directions and measure all center skip lines in both directions). The spacing between each measurement must be at least 100 ft. The Engineer may decrease the mileage frequency for measurements if the previous measurements provide satisfactory results, The Engineer may resume the original number of measurements if concerns arise. For all-weather markings, take at least three measurements for each series of markings (e.g., edgeline, center skip line, and each line of a double line) and direction of traffic flow and average the three measurements for each marking. The spacing between each measurement must be at least 100 ft. If the average of the three measurements taken on an individual marking falls below the minimum acceptable retroreflectivity value, take at least six additional measurements on that individual marking and average them. These six additional measurements must also be spaced at least 100 ft, apart. If the average of these six measurements falls below the minimum acceptable retroreflectivity value, the marking does not meet the performance requirements. Restripe at the Contractor's expense if the averages of these measurements fail. Retake portable retroreflectometer measurements of all restriped markings following the time interval allowed based on the type of marking and the pavement surface for the latest application. 4.7. Traffic Control. Provide traffic control, as required, when taking portable retroreflectivity measurements after marking application. For the minimum traffic control requirements on low -volume roadways (as shown on the plans), refer to "Temporary Road Closure" in Part 6 of the TMUTCD. For all other roadways, the minimum traffic control requirements will be as shown on the Traffic Control Plan (TCP) standard sheets TCP (3-1) and TCP (3-2). The lead vehicle will not be required on divided highways. The TCP and traffic control devices must meet the requirements listed in Item 502, "Barricades, Signs, and Traffic Handling." Time restrictions that apply during striping application will also apply during the retroreflectivity inspections, except when using the mobile retroreflectometer, unless otherwise shown on the plans or approved. 4.8. Performance Period. All longitudinal markings must meet the minimum retroreflectivity requirements within the timeframe specified. All markings must meet all other performance requirements in accordance with this Item for at least 30 calendar days after installation. Unless otherwise directed, remove pavement markings that fail to meet requirements and replace them at the Contractor's expense. Replace failing markings within 30 days of notification.

CONSTRUCTION 5.1. Excavation. Excavation (trenching) required to complete the pipeline installation will have sufficient width to allow installation of piping and valves at depths specified on the plans or the design standards listed in this item. Blasting to perform the excavation is not allowed. In cases where shrubbery and trees that are labeled to remain are encountered in any location where in the opinion of the Engineer the use of ditching or trenching equipment may result in unnecessary damage, the Engineer may require the trench to be excavated by hand. 5.2. Dust Suppression. Whenever trenching activities create significant amounts of dust or other undesirable emissions into the atmosphere, take action to reduce these emissions, as determined by the Engineer. 5.3. Boring. At the locations shown on the plans, the pipe installation is accomplished with a boring operation using the following methods. The use of guided or directional boring equipment is acceptable if the Contractor demonstrates such equipment is capable of installing the pipe along a controlled and constant horizontal and vertical alignment. Insure that the pipe is not damaged as it is pulled or otherwise inserted into the bored hole. The bored hole must not exceed the diameter of the casing by 1-1 or 2 in. When boring equipment is used to install plastic pipe, a fusable link will be used between the pull head and the pipe at all times to prevent damage during the pull -back operation. The (usable link should be at least 2 ft. in length and be a section of pipe that is 1 nominal pipe size smaller than the pipe being installed. Any voids outside of the casing, including abandoned and misaligned holes must be pressure grouted. Whenever service lines are planned for installation along a section of gas main that is being installed with guided or directional boring equipment, excavate at least 1 service tap location to provide an intermediate inspection hole prior to pulling the pipe into the bored hole. The intermediate inspection hole is to be located near the middle of the directional bored section. If several service line connections are planned along the route, the Engineer must approve the location of the service tap that is excavated for the intermediate inspection hole before the pipe insertion process. 3 -15 AM Pate Safe Routes to School City Project Number 104798 2024 Specifications 9900 Mains and service lines that are installed by guided or directional boring equipment must not be installed at depths greater than 6 ft. unless one of the following conditions applies: ■ The plans specifically require installation depths in excess of 6 ft. ■ Installation depths in excess of 6 ft. are necessary to achieve acceptable clearance between the pipe and another utility or structure while maintaining the minimum burial depth requirements for the pipe. ■ The Engineer's prior approval for such installation when the conditions described above exist are not applicable. ■ When guided or directional boring equipment is used to install gas distribution facilities, additional compensation due to extra depth of cover will not apply. ■ An electrical continuity test will be conducted by the Contractor on each installed tracer wire to verify that the wire has not been "shorted" during the installation procedure. 5.4. Temporary Bridges. When the trench is excavated where it is necessary to have a passageway across or lower the trench, provide safe, temporary bridges or provide other safe means of crossing the trench as approved by the Engineer. No streets, alleys or driveway are to be blocked at night, except with the Engineer's prior approval. Trenches or holes left open during non -working periods (overnight, a weekend, etc.) must be protected and with barricades and warning lights. 5.5. Protection of Pipe Ends. Keep the pipeline installation clean. At the end of each day's work and at any other times that the ends of the installed pipe are left unattended, the pipe ends must be securely closed to prevent the entrance of water, animals, trash or any other obstructions, and not opened until work is resumed. If there is an obstruction in a portion of the lines, remove all foreign matter if it is in the lines. The work necessary to assure that foreign matter is not present to remove the foreign matter if it is present is included in the installation cost of the line. 5.6. Welding. All welding is in accordance with American Petroleum Institute (API) Standard 1104, 1811, Edition, dated September, 1994 (or the latest edition), as outlined here in, as shown on the plans, and as directed or approved by the Engineer. Welds are to be made with the "shielded metal -arc" process. All welding equipment and materials such as the welding rods will be furnished by the Contractor. Brand of welding rods proposed must be approved by the Engineer prior to use. Where determined by the Engineer to be necessary, back -welding or inside -welding of all tube turns, ells, etc., in the pipeline is to be performed as part of the required work. All welds to be made with not less than 3 beads. The second or "Hot Pass Bead" should be run on the full circumference of the pipe as soon as practical where the Hot Pass or second bead is run before the Stringer Bead has cooled. Prior to being allowed to weld, each welder must qualify in accordance with Section 3.0 of API Standard 1104 and must pass the tests listed in paragraph 3.4 of this Standard. Conduct, or make arrangements for, qualification tests for welders. The qualifying tests will be conducted in the presence of the Engineer. 4 -15 AM Pate Safe Routes to School City Project Numher 104798 2024 Specifications 9900 Each welder will be assigned a specific number and it will be the welder's responsibility to affix his or her number with a crayon next to each weld for future identification. Steel die stamping is not be used. Welding inspection is in accordance with Section 5.1 of API Standard 1104. Test all welds with soap suds while the line is subjected to an internal air pressure of 90 psi prior to field coating the joints. Pin holes, leaks, cold laps, rivers, undercutting or any other defects occurring in any weld, are to be repaired by cutting out the entire weld and completely rewelding. Whenever it becomes necessary to remove a weld from the completed line, replacement is made by welding into the line a pup joint having a minimum length of 10 ft. 5.7. Coating of Pipe. Coating materials for coating field joints and for repairing damaged or defective coating will be furnished by CITY OF FORT WORTH. If the pipe furnished by CITY OF FORT WORTH is coated and wrapped pipe, the Contractor will be responsible for coating all field joints and repairing damaged and defective coating on the pipe regardless of the nature, extent or cause of damage or defect. However, if the pipe provided had a damaged or defective coating of such magnitude as to require an extra charge to properly coat, first refer this matter to the Engineer and not proceed until authorization to do so has been obtained. For coating field joints of pipes coated with TGF-3 coal tar enamel, the coating on the pipe must be cut back a distance of 8 to 12 in, from the joint. The edge of the enamel and felt wrapping is to be feathered at these points to assure a firm bond between the original coating and the field coating. After the joints are welded and tested, and the welds cleaned and brushed, the bare ends of the pipe are to be thoroughly cleaned, then immediately given a hand -brushed coat of primer to dry surfaces. Exercise care to prevent primer from being applied too heavily, especially at the base of the welds; any runs or sags which have dried or dead primer must be scraped off and the pipe reprimed. After the tape primer has dried to a tacky consistency, apply cold wrap tape with a 30% overlap, taking care not to create any voids between the pipe and tape coating. No primer or coating will be applied to wet or damp pipe. All repairs to damaged coating which exceeds 2 sq. in, will be made by breaking out the old coating, scraping the pipe to bare metal, feathering the edges to assure a firm bond and repriming. After the primer has dried to a tacky consistency, apply cold wrap tape taking care not to create any voids between the pipe and the tape coating. For repairs less than 2 sq. in., the pipe does not have to be scraped to bare metal and primed; however, the good enamel around the damaged portion is to be feathered before the cold wrap is applied. 5.8 Repairs. Repairs to fusion -bonded epoxy (FBE) or Powercrete coated pipe may include the following additional repair procedures. For pinhole and small area repair, the pipe surface and small area holidays where repairs by the patching stick method are approved by the Engineer and is a recommended procedure by the coating manufacturer, the original coated surface must be thoroughly cleaned and lightly abraded with sandpaper. Patching stick material is to be compatible with the FBE epoxy coating system and is to be material normally supplied by the manufacturer of the FBE coating system. 5 -15 AM Pate Safe Routes to School City Project Number 104798 2024 Specifications 9900 It is to be applied by heating the clean pipe surface until the patching stick begins to melt when it is rubbed over the heated area. Continue heating the coated surface while applying the patching stick like a brazing rod. Build a small puddle of melted compound to obtain a minimum thickness of 0.025 in. Continue heating until the compound flows out smoothly. In all instances the manufacturer's recommendations for the use of the patching stick are to be followed. An alternate method, for repairs to small area holidays, is liquid epoxy. The material for patching is to be 100% solids catalytically cured epoxy coating normally supplied by the manufacturer of the FBE coating system. The original coated surface must be thoroughly cleaned and lightly abraded with sandpaper. All dust is to be wiped off before applying the patch coating. This type of repair coating is to be applied by spatula, brush, roller, or spray to attain a uniform minimum thickness of 0.025 in. and is to overlap the surrounding undamaged coating by at least 1 in. The patch coating is not to be applied when pipe temperatures are below 50°F unless provisions are made for complete heat curing, using methods and temperatures in accordance with procedures recommended by the patch coating manufacturer. At the option of the Engineer, completely cured coating repairs are to be inspected with the Contractor's holiday detector. A patch -coated area is to be allowed to cure prior to handling as per manufacturer's specifications. Supply necessary equipment to complete repairs to manufacturer's guidelines. For large area repair, where repairs are approved by the Engineer, the following procedures are to be followed. The pipe is to be cleaned to remove all dirt, scale, rust, damaged of disbonded coating and other foreign material. Areas repaired before surface oxidation or rusting occurs may be prepared by hand sanding, power tool grinding, or surface oxidation or other approved and suitable means. Areas repaired after surface oxidation or rusting occurs are to be cleaned using abrasive blasting prior to coating repairs. The edges of the original coating are to be "feathered out" around the area to be coated and all dust wiped off before applying the patch coating. The material for patch coating must be 100% catalytically cured epoxy coating supplied by the manufacturer of the FBE coating system. This type of repair coating is to be applied by spatula, brush, roller or spray to attain a uniform minimum thickness of 0.025 in. or as recommended by the manufacturer. The patch compound is to overlap the surrounding undamaged coating by at least 1 in. A patch -coated area is to be allowed to cure prior to handling as per manufacturer's specifications. At the option of the Engineer, completely cured coating repairs are to be inspected with the Contractor's holiday detector. Supply necessary equipment to complete repairs to manufacturer's guidelines. For coating field joints on FBE coated pipe, heat shrink sleeves may be employed when approved by the Engineer. Heat shrink sleeves are to be the heat shrinkable wraparound sleeves with either a specially formulated mastic sealant or a solvent free, 2 component liquid epoxy primer designed to prevent corrosion of joints on buried pipelines. Apply sleeves in compliance with manufacturer's recommendations. In addition, for field joints within bores, heat shrink sleeves may also be employed when approved by the Engineer, provided the sleeves are manufactured for this application. Sleeves for this application are to consist of a combination of the following components: a specially designed wraparound heat shrinkable sleeve, a high shear strength thermoplastic hot melt adhesive, a solvent free, 2 component epoxy, a specially designed wear cone, and optional clamping belts. Supply necessary equipment to install sleeves in accordance to manufacturer's recommendations. This may include, but not be limited to, high intensity gas torches and abrasive blast equipment for pipe surface preparation. 6 -15 AM Pate Safe Routes to School City Project Number 104798 2024 Specifications 9900 After the field joints have been coated and immediately before the pipe is lowered into the ditch, the entire coating will be tested to locate breaks or pinholes and other flaws in the coating with an approved holiday detector in good working condition capable of producing the testing voltage in pulsating cycles at very low amperage. The voltage used is not to exceed 14,000 V for pipe coatings of 0.094 in. For FBE coated pipe, the coating is to be checked for holidays using a dry -type holiday detector. The holiday detector is to be set at 150 V per mil thickness of coating. All defective places will be plainly marked immediately. Furnish the holiday detector, and check the coating for holidays in the presence of the Engineer. Compression type couplings, valves, welded fittings, etc., will receive a cold applied mastic after the pipe is in the trench and has been tested for leaks. A plastic wrap supplied by CITY OF FORT WORTH will be installed over the mastic to protect the coating during backfilling. Handling coated pipe is to be accomplished only with suitable equipment to prevent damage to the coating. The coated pipe is to be placed on skids alongside the trench until it is to be welded and lowered into the trench. The skids are to be of sufficient width or padded with sand bags or resilient pads to prevent the skid edges from cutting the coating and wrapping. The skids are to be arranged to permit the coated pipe to bear on the full width of the skid. Coated and wrapped pipe is to be carefully handled with wide rubber, leather, composition, or canvas slings or belts containing no protruding rivets or belts that may damage the coating. Wire rope, tongs, chains, hooks, and bare cables must not come into contact with the coating. Coated pipe is not to be handled when the temperature is low enough to cause cracking of the enamel. 5.8. Plastic Gas Pipe. Handle the pipe only with suitable equipment to prevent damage to the pipe such as fracture, kinking, deep gouges or cuts. The pipe is not to be subjected to abuse by dropping, throwing or dragging except over smooth non -scratching terrain or surface. Install an insulated copper tracer with all pipe for the purpose of locating the pipe after backfilling. This wire is to be installed with 1 in. of separation from the pipe. Fuse pipe joints in accordance with requirements of ASTM F2620 and manufacturer's instructions. Prior to starting production fusing, each employee that will be making fusion joints must qualify according to 49 CFR Part 192, Paragraph 285. Conduct, or make arrangements for the qualification tests. The qualifying tests are to be conducted in the presence of the Engineer. Furnish all specialty tools and equipment required to handle, install, butt fuse and squeeze -off the pipe. Insure all specialty tools and equipment are specifically designed for use on plastic piping systems and are in good working condition. All pipe joints are to be soap bubble tested with the line having between 90 and 100 pounds per square inch gauge (PSIG) internal pressure. The test is to be made in the presence of the Engineer. 5.9. Cathodic Protection. Install packaged anodes, insulating joints and insulating flange sets as provided for by this Item or as shown on the plans. Welding machines are not be used to test insulation or otherwise be grounded across insulating devices. Insulation will 7 -15 AM Pate Safe Routes to School Gtv Project Number 104798 2024 Specifications 9900 be checked by the Engineer and declared acceptable only after testing establishes satisfactory performance. 5.10. Installation and Backfill. All stumps and roots found in the trench are to be cut and removed where they will not come in contact with the pipe. All loose rocks, stones, blocks, heavy clods, tree limbs, etc., which may damage or prevent proper installation of the pipe are to be removed before the pipe is installed. The pipe will not be lowered into the trench until it is in full compliance to specified requirements. The trench is to be excavated a minimum of 6 in. deeper than the proposed pipe depth so that Red Poteet sand approved by the Engineer can be placed in the trench before the pipe is installed. The sand placed in the trench to cushion the pipe is to be leveled and tamped so that the weight of the pipe is evenly distributed on the sand cushion. Unless the plans or the Engineer requires flowable backfill, backfilling must be conducted in a manner where the trench will be neatly and uniformly backfilled and compacted. Exercise care to prevent hand shovels and tampers from damaging the pipe. Provide 12 in. of sand backfill around and over the pipe to form a protective cushion between the pipe and the materials and equipment used for backfilling. After the pipe has a 12 in, minimum cover of sand, the remaining backfill may contain rocks and gravel, except that large rocks in excess of 2-1 or 2 in, in diameter, width or length, will not be used. When crossing drainage ditches and minor streams, furnish and install all materials necessary for bank reinforcement. The backfill is to be properly maintained until the work has been completed and accepted. No reimbursement will be made for repairing of backfill due to floods or other conditions occurring before final acceptance. Control the excavation and backfilling operation to have a maximum amount of 600 feet of open trench commensurate with good construction practices. Any surplus material not used for backfilling is to be disposed of properly. Attain the minimum specified cover for the gas piping.

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 (S0.001) 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 (S0.001) will be rounded to one -tenth of a cent (S0,001). 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 (S0.001). 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 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. AM Pate Sale Router to School City Project Number 104798 2024 Specifications 2L 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: ■ 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. AM Pate Safe Routes to School City Project Number 104798 2024 Specifications 2L 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. 14. DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE (DBE) The apparent low bidder must submit DBE commitment information on federally funded projects with DBE goals within 5 calendar days (as defined in 49 CFR Part 26, Subpart A) of bid opening. For a submission that meets the 5 day requirement, administrative corrections will be allowed. If the apparent low Bidder fails to submit their DBE information within the specified timeframe, they will be deemed nonrespinsive. The Bidder forfeiting the proposal guaranty will not be considered in future proposals for the same work unless there has been a substantial change in the design of the work. The Owner may recommend that the Commission: ■ reject all bids, or ■ award the Contract to the new apparent low Bidder, if the new apparent low Bidder has already submitted DBE information to the Owner. If the new apparent low Bidder did not submit the required DBE information: ■ the new apparent low bidder will not be deemed nonresponsive, ■ the new apparent low Bidder's quaranty will not be forfeited, ■ the Owner will reject all bids, ■ the new apparent low Bidder will remain eligible to receive future proposals for the same project, and ■ the proposal guaranty of the original apparent low bidder will become the property of the Owner, not as a penalty, but as liquidated damages.

If no unit prices exist, this will be considered extra work and the Contract will be amended by a change order. Provide cost justification as requested, in an acceptable format. Payment will not be made for anticipated profits on work that is eliminated. Agree on the scope of work and the basis of payment for the change order before beginning the work. If there is no agreement, the Engineer may order the work to proceed under Article 9L 7., "Payment for Extra Work and Force Account Method," or by making an interim adjustment to the Contract. In the case of an adjustment, the Engineer will consider modifying the compensation after the work is performed. AM Pate Safe Routes to School City Project Number 104798 2024 Specifications 4L A significant change in the character of the work occurs when: ■ 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 AM Pate Safe Routes to School City Project Number 104798 2024 Specifications 4L 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. 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 Costs. Payment will be made in accordance with Section 9L 7.1.4.3., "Standby Equipment Costs." 6.2. 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. 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. AM Pate Safe Routes to School City Project Number 104798 2024 Specifications 5L Item 5L Control of the Work 1.

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.

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. AM Pate Safe Routes to School City Project Number 104798 2024 Specifications 5L 7. COOPERATION BETWEEN CONTRACTORS Cooperate and coordinate with other Contractors working within the limits or adjacent to the limits. 8.

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. 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 41-.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.

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 AM Pate Safe Routes to School City Project Number 104798 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 in 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 precwnstruction 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. AM Pate Safe Routes to School City Project Number 104798 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. AM Pate Safe Routes to School City Project Number 104798 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, AM Pate Safe Routes to School City Project Number 104798 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 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 commitments 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; AM Pate Safe Routes to School City Project Number 104798 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. AM Pate Safe Routes to School City Project Number 104798 2024 Specifications 9L Item 9L xas Measurement and Payment F paTesportentanation 1. 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 truck 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, AM Pate Safe Routes to School City Project Number 104798 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 4L.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 Owner's discretion. The earliest cut-off date for pay applications is the 25th of the month. AM Pate Safe Routes to School Citv Project Number 104798 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 60 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 4L.4., "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 AM Pate Safe Routes to School City Project Numher 104798 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 cost 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 Owned 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. AM Pate Safe Routes to School 013, Project Number 104798 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 Costs. 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 Cost. 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 not withhold 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. AM Pate Safe Routes to School City Project Number 104798 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.

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 fain 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 AAl fate Safe Routes to School City Project Number 104798 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.

AM Pate Safe Routes to School City Project Number 104798 1. Equal Employment Opportunity: Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) requirements not to discriminate and to take affirmative action to assure equal opportunity as set forth under laws, executive orders, rules, regulations (see 28 CFR Part 35, 29 CFR Part 1630, 29 CFR Parts 1625-1627, 41 CFR Part 60 and 49 CFR Part 27) and orders of the Secretary of Labor as modified by the provisions prescribed herein, and imposed pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 140, shall constitute the EEO and specific affirmative action standards for the contractor's project activities under this contract. The provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq.) set forth under 28 CFR Part 35 and 29 CFR Part 1630 are incorporated by reference in this contract. In the execution of this contract, the contractor agrees to comply with the following minimum specific requirement activities of EEO: a. The contractor will work with the contracting agency and the Federal Government to ensure that it has made every good faith effort to provide equal opportunity with respect to all of its terms and conditions of employment and in their review of activities under the contract. 23 CFR 230.409 (g)(4) & (5). b. The contractor will accept as its operating policy the following statement: "It is the policy of this Company to assure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment, without regard to their race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, color, national origin, age or disability. Such action shall include. employment, upgrading, demotion, or transfer, recruitment or recruitment advertising, layoff or termination, rates of pay or other forms of compensation, and selection for training, including apprenticeship, pre -apprenticeship, and/or on-the-job training." 2. EEO Officer: The contractor will designate and make known to the contracting officers an EEO Officer who will have the responsibility for and must be capable of effectively administering and promoting an active EEO program and who must be assigned adequate authority and responsibility to do SO. 3. Dissemination of Policy: All members of the contractor's staff who are authorized to hire, supervise, promote, and discharge employees, or who recommend such action or are substantially involved in such action, will be made fully cognizant of and will implement the contractor's EEO policy and contractual responsibilities to provide EEO in each grade and classification of employment. To ensure that the above agreement will be met, the following actions will be taken as a minimum: a. Periodic meetings of supervisory and personnel office employees will be conducted before the start of work and then not less often than once every six months, at which time the contractor's EEO policy and its implementation will be reviewed and explained. The meetings will be conducted by the EEO Officer or other knowledgeable company official. b. All new supervisory or personnel office employees will be given a thorough indoctrination by the EEO Officer, covering all major aspects of the contractor's EEO obligations within thirty days following their reporting for duty with the contractor. c. All personnel who are engaged in direct recruitment for the project will be instructed by the EEO Officer in the contractor's procedures for locating and hiring minorities and women. d. Notices and posters setting forth the contractor's EEO policy will be placed in areas readily accessible to employees, applicants for employment and potential employees. e. The contractor's EEO policy and the procedures to implement such policy will be brought to the attention of employees by means of meetings, employee handbooks, or other appropriate means, 4. Recruitment: When advertising for employees, the contractor will include in all advertisements for employees the notation: "An Equal Opportunity Employer." All such advertisements will be placed in publications having a large circulation among minorities and women in the area from which the project work force would normally be derived. a. The contractor will, unless precluded by a valid bargaining agreement, conduct systematic and direct recruitment through public and private employee referral sources likely to yield qualified minorities and women. To meet this requirement, the contractor will identify sources of potential minority group employees and establish with such identified sources procedures whereby minority and women applicants may be referred to the contractor for employment consideration. b. In the event the contractor has a valid bargaining agreement providing for exclusive hiring hall referrals, the contractor is expected to observe the provisions of that agreement to the extent that the system meets the contractor's compliance with EEO contract provisions. Where implementation of such an agreement has the effect of discriminating against minorities or women, or obligates the contractor to do the same, such implementation violates Federal nondiscrimination provisions. c. The contractor will encourage its present employees to refer minorities and women as applicants for employment. Information and procedures with regard to referring such applicants will be discussed with employees. 5. Personnel Actions: Wages, working conditions, and employee benefits shall be established and administered, and personnel actions of every type, including hiring, upgrading, promotion, transfer, demotion, layoff, and termination, shall be taken without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age or disability.

The 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 AM Pate Safe Routes to School Cih, Project 1Vuniber 104798 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 or-the�ob 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. 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: AM Pate Safe Routes to School City Project Nuinher 104798 (1) The number and work hours of minority and non - minority group members and women employed in each work classification on the project; (2) The progress and efforts being made in cooperation with unions, when applicable, to increase employment opportunities for minorities and women; and (3) The progress and efforts being made in locating, hiring, training, qualifying, and upgrading minorities and women. b. The contractors and subcontractors will submit an annual report to the contracting agency each July for the duration of the project indicating the number of minority, women, and non - minority group employees currently engaged in each work classification required by the contract work. This information is to be reported on Form FHWA-1391. The staffing data should represent the project work force on board in all or any part of the last payroll period preceding the end of July. If on-the-job training is being required by special provision, the contractor will be required to collect and report training data. The employment data should reflect the work force on board during all or any part of the last payroll period preceding the end of July. III. NONSEGREGATED FACILITIES This provision is applicable to all Federal -aid construction contracts and to all related construction subcontracts of more than $10,000. 41 CFR 60-1.5. As prescribed by 41 CFR 60-1.8, the contractor must ensure that facilities provided for employees are provided in such a manner that segregation on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin cannot result. The contractor may neither require such segregated use by written or oral policies nor tolerate such use by employee custom. The contractor's obligation extends further to ensure that its employees are not assigned to perform their services at any location under the contractor's control where the facilities are segregated. The term "facilities" includes waiting rooms, work areas, restaurants and other eating areas, time clocks, restrooms, washrooms, locker rooms and other storage or dressing areas, parking lots, drinking fountains, recreation or entertainment areas, transportation, and housing provided for employees. The contractor shall provide separate or single -user restrooms and necessary dressing or sleeping areas to assure privacy between sexes. IV. DAVIS-BACON AND RELATED ACT PROVISIONS This section is applicable to all Federal -aid construction projects exceeding $2,000 and to all related subcontracts and lower -tier subcontracts (regardless of subcontract size), in accordance with 29 CFR 5.5. The requirements apply to all projects located within the right-of-way of a roadway that is functionally classified as Federal -aid highway. 23 U.S.C. 113. This excludes roadways functionally classified as local roads or rural minor collectors, which are exempt, 23 U,S.C. 101. Where applicable law requires that projects be treated as a project on a Federal -aid highway, the provisions of this subpart will apply regardless of the location of the project. Examples include: Surface Transportation Block Grant Program projects funded under 23 U.S.C. 133 [excluding recreational trails projects], the Nationally Significant Freight and Highway Projects funded under 23 U.S.C. 117, and National Highway Freight Program projects funded under 23 U.S.C. 167. The following provisions are from the U.S. Department of Labor regulations in 29 CFR 5.5 "Contract provisions and related matters" with minor revisions to conform to the FHWA- 1273 format and FHWA program requirements. 1. Minimum wages (29 CFR 5.5) a. Wage rates and fringe benefits. All laborers and mechanics employed or working upon the site of the work (or otherwise working in construction or development of the project under a development statute), will be paid unconditionally and not less often than once a week, and without subsequent deduction or rebate on any account (except such payroll deductions as are permitted by regulations issued by the Secretary of Labor under the Copeland Act (29 CFR part 3)), the full amount of basic hourly wages and bona fide fringe benefits (or cash equivalents thereof) due at time of payment computed at rates not less than those contained in the wage determination of the Secretary of Labor which is attached hereto and made a part hereof, regardless of any contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist between the contractor and such laborers and mechanics. As provided in paragraphs (d) and (e) of 29 CFR 5.5, the appropriate wage determinations are effective by operation of law even if they have not been attached to the contract. Contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits under the Davis -Bacon Act 40 U.S.C, 3141(2)(B)) on behalf of laborers or mechanics are considered wages paid to such laborers or mechanics, subject to the provisions of paragraph 1.e, of this section; also, regular contributions made or costs incurred for more than a weekly period (but not less often than quarterly) under plans, funds, or programs which cover the particular weekly period, are deemed to be constructively made or incurred during such weekly period. Such laborers and mechanics must be paid the appropriate wage rate and fringe benefits on the wage determination for the classification(s) of work actually performed, without regard to skill, except as provided in paragraph 4. of this section. Laborers or mechanics performing work in more than one classification may be compensated at the rate specified for each classification for the time actually worked therein: Provided, That the employer's payroll records accurately set forth the time spent in each classification in which work is performed, The wage determination (including any additional classifications and wage rates conformed under paragraph 1.c. of this section) and the Davis -Bacon poster (WH-1321) must be posted at all times by the contractor and its subcontractors at the site of the work in a prominent and accessible place where it can be easily seen by the workers. b. Frequently recurring classifications. (1) In addition to wage and fringe benefit rates that have been determined to be prevailing under the procedures set forth in 29 CFR part 1, a wage determination may contain, pursuant to § 1.3(f), wage and fringe benefit rates for classifications of laborers and mechanics for which conformance requests are regularly submitted pursuant to paragraph 1.c, of this section, provided that: (i) The work performed by the classification is not performed by a classification in the wage determination for which a prevailing wage rate has been determined; A.V Pate Safe Routes to School City Project Number 104798 (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(cDdol.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(EDdol.00v, 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 AM Pate Safe Routes to School City Project Number 104798 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 contractors bankruptcy estate; (4) A contractor's assignee(s); (5) A contractors 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 httos://www.dol.govlsitesldolgovlfileslWHDI leaacv/files/wh347/odf 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 contractors or subcontractors 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 oart 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. AM Pate Safe Routes to School City Project ;Number 104798 (5) Signature. The signature by the contractor, subcontractor, or the contractor's or subcontractor's agent must be an original handwritten signature or a legally valid electronic signature. (6) Falsification. The falsification of any of the above certifications may subject the contractor or subcontractor to civil or criminal prosecution under 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 31, U.S,C.3729. (7) Length of certified payroll retention. The contractor or subcontractor must preserve all certified payrolls during the course of the work and for a period of 3 years after all the work on the prime contract is completed. c. Contracts, subcontracts, and related documents. The contractor or subcontractor must maintain this contract or subcontract and related documents including, without limitation, bids, proposals, amendments, modifications, and extensions. The contractor or subcontractor must preserve these contracts, subcontracts, and related documents during the course of the work and for a period of 3 years after all the work on the prime contract is completed. d. Required disclosures and access (1) Required record disclosures and access to workers. The contractor or subcontractor must make the records required under paragraphs 3.a. through 3.c. of this section, and any other documents that the contracting agency, the State DOT, the FHWA, or the Department of Labor deems necessary to determine compliance with the labor standards provisions of any of the applicable statutes referenced by § 5.1, available for inspection, copying, or transcription by authorized representatives of the contracting agency, the State DOT, the FHWA, or the Department of Labor, and must permit such representatives to interview workers during working hours on the job. (2) Sanctions for non-compliance with records and worker access requirements. If the contractor or subcontractor fails to submit the required records or to make them available, or refuses to permit worker interviews during working hours on the job, the Federal agency may, after written notice to the contractor, sponsor, applicant, owner, or other entity, as the case may be, that maintains such records or that employs such workers, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds. Furthermore, failure to submit the required records upon request or to make such records available, or to permit worker interviews during working hours on the job, may be grounds for debarment action pursuant to § 5.12. In addition, any contractor or other person that fails to submit the required records or make those records available to WHD within the time WHD requests that the records be produced will be precluded from introducing as evidence in an administrative proceeding under 29 CFR part 6 any of the required records that were not provided or made available to WHD. WHD will take into consideration a reasonable request from the contractor or person for an extension of the time for submission of records. WHD will determine the reasonableness of the request and may consider, among other things, the location of the records and the volume of production, (3) Required information disclosures. Contractors and subcontractors must maintain the full Social Security number and last known address, telephone number, and email address of each covered worker, and must provide them upon request to the contracting agency, the State DOT, the FHWA, the contractor, or the Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor for purposes of an investigation or other compliance action. 4. Apprentices and equal employment opportunity (29 CFR 5.5) a, Apprentices (1) Rate of pay. Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work they perform when they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a bona fide apprenticeship program registered with the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, Office of Apprenticeship (OA), or with a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the OA. A person who is not individually registered in the program, but who has been certified by the OA or a State Apprenticeship Agency (where appropriate) to be eligible for probationary employment as an apprentice, will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work they perform in the first 90 days of probationary employment as an apprentice in such a program. In the event the OA or a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the OA withdraws approval of an apprenticeship program, the contractor will no longer be permitted to use apprentices at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved. (2) Fringe benefits. Apprentices must be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the apprenticeship program. If the apprenticeship program does not specify fringe benefits, apprentices must be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination for the applicable classification. If the Administrator determines that a different practice prevails for the applicable apprentice classification, fringe benefits must be paid in accordance with that determination. (3) Apprenticeship ratio. The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeyworkers on the job site in any craft classification must not be greater than the ratio permitted to the contractor as to the entire work force under the registered program or the ratio applicable to the locality of the project pursuant to paragraph 4.a.(4) of this section. Any worker listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who is not registered or otherwise employed as stated in paragraph 4.a.(1) of this section, must be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any apprentice performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under this section must be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. (4) Reciprocity of ratios and wage rates. Where a contractor is performing construction on a project in a locality other than the locality in which its program is registered, the ratios and wage rates (expressed in percentages of the journeyworker's hourly rate) applicable within the locality in which the construction is being performed must be observed. If there is no applicable ratio or wage rate for the locality of the project, the ratio and wage rate specified in the contractor's registered program must be observed. b. Equal employment opportunity. The use of apprentices and journeyworkers under this part must be in conformity with AM Pate Safe Routes to School City Project Number 104798 the equal employment opportunity requirements of Executive Order 11246, as amended, and 29 CFR part 30. c. Apprentices and Trainees (programs of the U.S. DOT). Apprentices and trainees working under apprenticeship and skill training programs which have been certified by the Secretary of Transportation as promoting EEO in connection with Federal -aid highway construction programs are not subject to the requirements of paragraph 4 of this Section IV. 23 CFR 230.111(e)(2). The straight time hourly wage rates for apprentices and trainees under such programs will be established by the particular programs. The ratio of apprentices and trainees to journeyworkers shall not be greater than permitted by the terms of the particular program. 5. Compliance with Copeland Act requirements. The contractor shall comply with the requirements of 29 CFR part 3, which are incorporated by reference in this contract as provided in 29 CFR 5.5. 6. Subcontracts. The contractor or subcontractor must insert FHWA-1273 in any subcontracts, along with the applicable wage determination(s) and such other clauses or contract modifications as the contracting agency may by appropriate instructions require, and a clause requiring the subcontractors to include these clauses and wage determination(s) in any lower tier subcontracts. The prime contractor is responsible for the compliance by any subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor with all the contract clauses in this section. In the event of any violations of these clauses, the prime contractor and any subcontractor(s) responsible will be liable for any unpaid wages and monetary relief, including interest from the date of the underpayment or loss, due to any workers of lower -tier subcontractors, and may be subject to debarment. as appropriate. 29 CFR 5.5. 7. Contract termination: debarment. A breach of the contract clauses in 29 CFR 5.5 may be grounds for termination of the contract, and for debarment as a contractor and a subcontractor as provided in 29 CFR 5.12. 8. Compliance with Davis -Bacon and Related Act requirements. All rulings and interpretations of the Davis - Bacon and Related Acts contained in 29 CFR parts 1, 3. and 5 are herein incorporated by reference in this contract as provided in 29 CFR 5.5. 9. Disputes concerning labor standards. As provided in 29 CFR 5.5, disputes arising out of the labor standards provisions of this contract shall not be subject to the general disputes clause of this contract. Such disputes shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures of the Department of Labor set forth in 29 CFR parts 5, 6, and 7. Disputes within the meaning of this clause include disputes between the contractor (or any of its subcontractors) and the contracting agency, the U.S. Department of Labor, or the employees or their representatives. 10. Certification of eligibility. a. By entering into this contract, the contractor certifies that neither it nor any person or firm who has an interest in the contractor's firm is a person or firm ineligible to be awarded Government contracts by virtue of 40 U.S.C. 3144(b) or § 5.12(a). b, No part of this contract shall be subcontracted to any person or firm ineligible for award of a Government contract by virtue of 40 U.S.C, 3144(b) or § 5.12(a). c.

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.

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, AM Pate Safe Routes to School City Project Number 104798 (3) the prime contractor retains all power to accept or exclude individual employees from work on the project; and (4) the prime contractor remains ultimately responsible for the payment of predetermined minimum wages, the submission of payrolls, statements of compliance and all other Federal regulatory requirements. b. "Specialty Items" shall be construed to be limited to work that requires highly specialized knowledge, abilities, or equipment not ordinarily available in the type of contracting organizations qualified and expected to bid or propose on the contract as a whole and in general are to be limited to minor components of the overall contract. 23 CFR 635.102, 2. Pursuant to 23 CFR 635.116(a), the contract amount upon which the requirements set forth in paragraph (1) of Section VI is computed includes the cost of material and manufactured products which are to be purchased or produced by the contractor under the contract provisions. 3. Pursuant to 23 CFR 635.116(c), the contractor shall furnish (a) a competent superintendent or supervisor who is employed by the firm, has full authority to direct performance of the work in accordance with the contract requirements, and is in charge of all construction operations (regardless of who performs the work) and (b) such other of its own organizational resources (supervision, management, and engineering services) as the contracting officer determines is necessary to assure the performance of the contract. 4. No portion of the contract shall be sublet, assigned or otherwise disposed of except with the written consent of the contracting officer, or authorized representative, and such consent when given shall not be construed to relieve the contractor of any responsibility for the fulfillment of the contract. Written consent will be given only after the contracting agency has assured that each subcontract is evidenced in writing and that it contains all pertinent provisions and requirements of the prime contract_ (based on long- standing interpretation of 23 CFR 635.116). 5. The 30-percent self -performance requirement of paragraph (1) is not applicable to design -build contracts; however, contracting agencies may establish their own self -performance requirements. 23 CFR 635.116(d), VII. SAFETY: ACCIDENT PREVENTION This provision is applicable to all Federal -aid construction contracts and to all related subcontracts. 1.

ALL AGENCY MEMORANDUM NUMBER 244 TO: All Contracting Agencies of the Federal Government and the District of Columbia FROM: Jessica Looman, Principal Deputy Administrator �xt SUBJECT: Final Rule: Updating the Davis -Bacon and Related Acts Regulations Introduction On August 8, 2023, the Department of Labor (Department) published a final rule, Updating the Davis -Bacon and Related Acts Regulations, to amend regulations issued under the Davis -Bacon Act (DBA or Act) and the Davis -Bacon Related Acts (collectively, the DBRA) that set forth rules for the administration and enforcement of the Davis -Bacon labor standards which apply to federal and federally assisted construction projects. The revised regulations address a number of issues that have arisen over time in the administration and enforcement of the DBRA and provide greater regulatory clarity regarding numerous Davis -Bacon requirements, thereby enhancing the regulations' usefulness in the modern economy. The purpose of this All Agency Memorandum (AAM) is to summarize the most significant provisions of this final rule for contracting agencies and the regulated community as part of the Department's efforts to provide compliance assistance both before and after the rule becomes effective on October 23, 2023. Specifically, this AAM provides a summary of the final rule's provisions regarding the content of wage determinations, the incorporation and applicability of wage determinations to covered contracts and projects, coverage principles, recordkeeping requirements, fringe benefits requirements, and enforcement provisions. This AAM also addresses the effective date and applicability dates of the final rule and identifies resources for additional information. This memorandum is intended as general information only. The Federal Register and. the Code of Federal Regulations remain the official sources for regulatory information published by the Department. Background The Davis -Bacon Act (DBA or Act), as enacted in 1931 and subsequently amended, requires the payment of minimum prevailing wages determined by the Department to laborers and mechanics working on federal contracts in excess of $2,000 for the construction, alteration, or repair, including painting and decorating, of public buildings and public works. See 40 U.S.C. 3142. Congress has also included the DBA prevailing wage requirements in numerous other statutes (referred to as "Related Acts") under which federal agencies assist construction projects through grants, loans, loan guarantees, insurance, and other methods. Related Acts include the National Housing Act of 1934, Pub. L. 73-479; the Federal -Aid Highway Act of 1956, Pub. L. 84-627, AMPeate Safe Routes to School City Pmjsa Xwmber 104798 and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021, Pub. L. No. 117-58 (the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law). The Department maintains a list of Related Acts on its government contracts compliance assistance website at hgps://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/govermnent-contracts. The Secretary of Labor has the responsibility to "prescribe reasonable regulations" for contractors and subcontractors on covered projects. See 40 U.S.C. § 3145. The Secretary, through Reorganization Plan No. 14 of 1950, also has the responsibility to "prescribe appropriate standards, regulations and procedures" to be observed by Federal agencies responsible for the administration of the Davis -Bacon and Related Acts "[i]n order to assure coordination of administration and consistency of enforcement of the labor standards provisions" of the DBRA. 15 FR 3173, 3176, effective May 24, 1950, reprinted as amended in 5 U.S.C. app. 1. On March 18, 2022, the Department issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM), proposing revisions to the DBRA's implementing regulations at 29 CFR parts 1, 3, and 5. See 87 FR 15698. The Department invited comments on these proposed updates and received over 40,000 timely comments. The final rule reflects a number of changes to the NPRM that were made in response to the comments received. Aside from those changes, the final rule adopts the substantive provisions of the NPRM as proposed. As discussed more fully below, the final rule makes substantive revisions to parts 1 and 5, which address the procedures for the predetermination of DBA wage rates and the labor standards provisions applicable to DBRA-covered contracts, respectively, and makes primarily conforming revisions to part 3, which implements the Copeland Act. Summary of Final Rule Provisions Content of Wage Determinations The Department revised the regulations in 29 CFR part 1 to amend certain definitions and procedures governing the content of wage determinations. These elements of the final rule may affect basic hourly and fringe benefit rates for the classifications listed on wage determinations that are posted on SAM.gov after the tale's effective date of October 23, 2023. They do not impose new or different requirements on contracting agencies with regard to the procedures for identifying appropriate wage determinations or administering and enforcing contract requirements. Determining Prevailing Wage Rates • "Area" of Wape Determinations: The final rule maintains the use of the county as the default "area" for most wage determinations. See 29 CFR 1.7(a). For most projects, the contracting agency must identify the county in which the project will take place and then search on SAM.gov the wage determination that contains the prevailing wage rates for the relevant type or types of construction in that county. The final rule also clarifies that, for highway projects, the Wage and Hour Division (WI -ID) may use a State highway district or "similar State geographic subdivision" instead of a county as the "area" for general wage determinations. See 29 CFR 1.2 (Area). Where WHD has used this methodology, the wage determination on SAM.gov may list prevailing wage 2 AM Pate Safe Routes to School City Project Number 104798 rates by highway district, and contracting agencies and contractors may need to identify the prevailing wage for a classification by reference to the highway district in which the project takes place. • Definition of "Prevailing Wage°': The definition of "prevailing wage" in 29 CFR 1.2 contains the basic methodology that WHD uses to analyze wage survey data to determine the prevailing hourly wage and fringe benefit amounts to include for each job classification in a given area. Under the amended definition, WHD identifies as prevailing any wage rate that is paid to a majority of workers for whom usable wage data is received. If there is no majority wage rate, WHD identifies as prevailing the wage rate that is paid to the greatest number, as long as it is paid to at least 30 percent of workers (i.e., between 30 and 50 percent). If no wage rate is paid to at least 30 percent of the workers, WHD will use a weighted average of the wages paid to those employed in the classification. The final rule permits WHD to count wage rates that are not identical as the same rate if those rates are "functionally equivalent." The functional equivalence determination must be based on collective bargaining agreements or a written policy or policies of a contractor or contractors. See 29 CFR 1.3(e). Using this methodology, WHD is permitted to treat functionally equivalent variable or premium rates —such as escalator -clause rates, zone rates, night premiums, or foreperson premiums —as the same for the purpose of determining the prevailing wage. • Scope of Consideration: WHD will expand the scope of data considered in determining prevailing wage rates when there is not sufficient current wage data in a given area (e.g., in a given county). See 29 CFR 1.7. The prior regulation contained an across-the-board exclusion that prevented WHD from considering any data from "metropolitan" counties in making wage determinations for "rural" counties, and vice versa. The final rule eliminates this across-the-board bar. See 29 CFR 1.7(b). However, this change only applies where there is not sufficient data in the county at issue and WHD must use data from surrounding counties or larger geographic areas to determine a prevailing wage rate for a particular classification. Where there is not sufficient current wage data in surrounding counties, the final rule progressively expands the geographic scope of wage data that may be used to groups of comparable counties and, when necessary, statewide data (still for the same classification of workers). See id. § 1.7(c). The final rule does not change the current procedure under which WHD will consider wage data from federal or federally assisted projects subject to Davis -Bacon labor standards when it is determining prevailing wage rates. Accordingly, for heavy and highway determinations, the Department will continue to use such federal or federally assisted project data when determining prevailing wage rates. For building and residential wage determinations, the Department will continue to use such data only when "it is determined that there is insufficient wage data to determine the prevailing wages in the absence of such data." See 29 CFR 1.3(d). 3 AM Pate Safe Routes to School City Project Number 104798 Other Wage Determination Improvements: • Frequently Conformed Rates (Supplemental Rates): The final rule expressly permits the Department to list on wage determinations a new category of "supplemental" wage and fringe benefit rates for classifications for which WHD received insufficient data through its wage survey process and for which conformance requests are regularly submitted. WHD is authorized to list such classifications on a wage determination, along with wage and fringe benefit rates that bear a "reasonable relationship" to the wage and fringe benefit rates contained in the wage determination. The hourly wage and fringe benefit rates for these classifications will be determined in the same manner as such rates are currently determined by WHD pursuant to the existing conformance process. See 29 CFR 1.3(f). The use of supplemental rates is intended to reduce the need for contracting agencies to submit requests for conformances and promote greater certainty in the bidding process. • Periodic Adjustments to Wage Determinations: The final rule expressly permits WHD to periodically adjust certain non -collectively bargained prevailing wage and fringe benefit rates between Davis -Bacon wage surveys so that these rates do not become out-of-date and fall behind prevailing rates in the area. Such rates may be adjusted based on U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Employment Cost Index (ECI) data no more frequently than once every 3 years, and no sooner than 3 years after the date of the rate's publication. See 29 CFR 1.6(c)(1). • Use of State or Local Agency Prevailing Wage Rates: The final rule allows WHD to adopt prevailing wage rates set by state or local officials, even if the state or locality's methods or criteria for determining the prevailing wage are not precisely the same as WHD's, provided that specified criteria are met. See 29 CFR 1.3(g) and (h). To adopt such rates, WHD must first obtain them and any relevant supporting documentation from the state or local government, and review both the rate and the processes used to derive the rate. Incorporation and Applicability of Wage Determinations The final rule contains several provisions that instruct contracting agencies regarding the procedures for incorporating wage determinations into covered contracts and for determining which wage determination(s) should be applied to a particular project. Duration of Applicability of Wage Determinations to Contract or Project The final rule reflects that a wage determination, once incorporated into a contract, generally applies for the life of the contract, with three limited exceptions. See 29 CFR 1.6(a) and (c). The three exceptions are where there is new out -of -scope construction, where there is an additional time period not previously obligated, or where the contract is an indefinite -delivery -indefinite - quantity (IDIQ) or similar long-term contract: • New out -of -scope construction: The final rule codifies the Department's longstanding position that the most recent revision of any applicable wage determination(s) must be incorporated when a contract is modified to include substantial additional construction not n AM Pate Safe Routes to School City Project Number 104798 within the scope of work of the original contract. See 29 CFR 1.6(c)(2)(iii)(A). See also, e.g., U.S. Army, ARB No. 96-133, 1997 WL 399373, at *6 (July 17, 1997). • Additional time period not obligated: The final rule codifies WHD's longstanding position that the most recent revision of any applicable wage determination(s) must be incorporated when a contract is changed to require the contractor to perform work for an additional time period not originally obligated, such as when an option is exercised. See AAM 157 (Dec. 9, 1992). The final rule clarifies that this requirement applies to both unilateral and bilateral exercises of options. • IDIQ and similar long-term contracts: The final rule requires contracting agencies to update wage determinations annually for IDIQ and similar long-term contracts that require construction work over a period of time that is not tied to the completion of any particular project. Even where such contracts involve the exercise of options, but have extended base or option periods, wage determinations must still be incorporated on an annual basis in years in which an option is not exercised. See 29 CFR 1.6(c)(2)(iii)(A) and (B). Multiple Types of Construction The final rule clarifies that when a project involves work in more than one type of construction (e.g., building, heavy, highway, residential), the contracting agency must incorporate the applicable wage determination for each type of construction involved that is anticipated to include a substantial amount of construction. See 29 CFR 1.6(b)(1). Project Wage Determinations Under the final rule, contracting agencies continue to be able to request that WHD issue a wage determination specific to a particular project if there is no general wage determination in effect for the relevant area and type(s) of construction for an upcoming project, or if all or virtually all of the work on a contract will be performed by classifications that are not listed in the general wage determination that would otherwise apply. See 29 CFR 1.5(b)(i). • Multi -County Projects: The final rule authorizes contracting agencies to request a project wage determination where the project involves work in more than one county and will employ workers who may work in more than one county. In appropriate circumstances, a multi -county project wage determination may identify a single prevailing wage rate that will apply to a classification of workers for all counties in the project area. See 29 CFR 1.5(b)(i). If a contracting agency has not requested a multi -county project wage determination, it must incorporate into the contract the general wage determinations for each of the counties in which the project takes place. 5 "Pate Safe Routes to School City Project Number 104798 Coverage Principles In general, the DBRA covers federal and federally -funded contracts and subcontracts by contractors and subcontractors for construction, alteration, or repair on the site of the work..' The final rule amends several of the regulatory terms that define the scope of covered entities, projects, and activities. Many of these amendments clarify longstanding policies and practices, but some represent substantive changes. Covered Contracting Agencies • The final rule revises the definition of agency to clearly encompass state and local agencies that enter into contracts for projects that are subject to Davis -Bacon labor standards and that allocate federal assistance under a Related Act to sub -recipients. • Federal agency is added as a sub -definition of agency to distinguish those situations where the regulations refer specifically to an obligation or authority that is limited solely to a federal agency that enters into DBA-covered contracts or allocates federal assistance under a Related Act. The District of Columbia is expressly included in the definition of federal agency. This change does not reflect a general characterization of the District of Columbia as a Federal Government entity, but rather is intended simply to clarify that covered contracts entered into by the District of Columbia are subject to the DBA labor standards requirements and the regulations implemented by the Department. Types of Covered Entities The final rule adds contractor, prime contractor, and subcontractor as defined terms and amends the definition of the term contract. o The definition of contractor clarifies that, where used in the regulations, it applies to both prime contractors and subcontractors. This revised definition also provides notice that sureties may be considered contractors under the regulations in appropriate circumstances. As further discussed below, the term contractor excludes entities that are material suppliers outside the scope of the DBRA. o The definition of prime contractor includes any person or entity that enters into a contract with an agency (regardless of whether they consider themselves to be a developer/owner or a general contractor). The definition also includes the controlling shareholders or members of any entity holding a prime contract, the joint venturers or partners in any joint venture or partnership holding a prime contract, and any contractor that has been delegated responsibility for overseeing 1 Under the DBA, the construction, alteration, or repair must be of a public building or public work. A few Related Acts that apply to all laborers and mechanics involved in the "development" of a project have a different coverage standard that is not limited to "contractors," "subcontractors," or the "site of the work." 6 AM Pate Safe Routes to School City Project Number 104798 all or substantially all of the construction anticipated by the prime contract. All of these entities may be held liable under the regulatory provision at 29 CFR 5.5(a)(6), which states that prime contractors are responsible for the compliance of all subcontractors on the contract. o The definition of subcontractor includes any contractor that agrees to perform or be responsible for the performance of any part of a contract subject to the DBRA. It includes subcontractors of any tier. The final rule also codifies the long -understood principle that the DBA and the vast majority of Related Acts entirely exclude from coverage bona fide "material suppliers." The final rule does so by defining the term material supplier and amending the regulatory definitions of contract and contractor to exclude material suppliers from their scope. Unless a particular Related Act provides for broader coverage, employees of true material suppliers are not covered at all, including for time spent on the site of the work. o An entity is considered a material supplier if 1. Its only obligations on the contract or project are the delivery of materials and activities that are incidental to material supply, such as loading, unloading, and pickup, and 2. Any facility that manufactures the supplies: • is not located on the primary or secondary worksite, and • was either established before the beginning of the project or is not dedicated exclusively or nearly exclusively to the project. o The final rule further explains that if an entity engages in any construction, prosecution, completion, or repair work that is not incidental to material supply at the site of the work, it is a contractor or subcontractor, not a material supplier. Therefore, workers' time at the site of the work would be covered, subject to the de minimis exception discussed below. This eliminates a 20 percent threshold for material suppliers that had been set out previously in subregulatory guidance, including WHD's Field Operations Handbook. o While a material supplier can pick up materials in addition to delivering them, an entity that only picks up (but does not deliver) materials is not considered a material supplier, but rather is a contractor or subcontractor. Types of Covered Activities • Modern examples of covered construction: The regulations' definition of building or work includes a list of examples of covered construction activities. The final rule revises this list to explicitly include solar panels, wind turbines, broadband installation, and installation of electric car chargers in this non-exclusive list. The inclusion of these 7 AM Pate Safe Routes to School City Project Number 104798 additional examples does not expand DBRA coverage, but rather clarifies that such projects are among the types of buildings or works that may be covered by the DBRA when all other coverage criteria are met. • Projects Involving a Portion of a Building or Work. The final rule adds language to the definitions of building (or work) and public building (or public work) to clarify that these definitions can apply even when the construction activity involves only a portion of an overall building, consistent with longstanding policy. • Installation Work. The final rule also adds language to the definitions of building (or work) and public building (or public work) to expressly reflect that installation (where appropriate) of equipment or components into a building or work is covered by the DBRA, consistent with longstanding policy. Members of Survey Crews. The final rule clarifies and reaffirms that members of survey crews who perform primarily physical and/or manual work while employed by contractors or subcontractors on a DBRA-covered project on the site of the work immediately prior to or during construction in direct support of construction crews may be laborers or mechanics subject to the Davis -Bacon labor standards. Demolition and/or removal work. The final rule addresses DBRA coverage of demolition in a manner consistent with existing DBRA subregulatory guidance and SCA regulations. While standalone demolition work that does not constitute construction, alteration, or repair and with no contemplated future construction is not covered by the DBA or Related Acts, Davis -Bacon labor standards apply to demolition and/or removal work under any of three circumstances: where the demolition and/or removal itself constitutes construction, alteration, and/or repair of an existing building or work (e.g., asbestos removal from a facility that will not be demolished; land recycling that involves substantial earth moving). 2. where the demolition is performed in contemplation of a DBRA-covered construction project, either as part of the same contract or a future contract; or 3. where otherwise required by statute. Locations of Covered Activities • Work at Secondary Construction Sites: o The definition of Site of the Work is revised to define "secondary construction sites" that are covered under the DBRA. Such sites include any site away from the primary worksite where all of the following requirements are met: 1. A "significant portion" of the building or work is constructed. 0 AM Pate Safe Routes to School City Project Number 104798 Significant portion means an entire portion or module of a building or work, such as a completed room or structure, with only minimal construction work remaining to install or assemble the room or module at the primary site of work. It does not include materials or prefabricated component parts such as prefabricated housing components. 2. The "significant portion" is constructed for specific use in that building or work and is not just a product made available to the general public. 3. The site is either established specifically for the performance of the contract or project, or is dedicated exclusively, or nearly so, to the performance of the contract or project for a specific period of time. A specific period of time means a period of weeks, months, or more, and does not include circumstances where a site at which multiple projects are in progress is shifted exclusively or nearly so to a single project for a few hours or days in order to meet a deadline. DBRA coverage exists only during the specific period of time in which the site is dedicated exclusively, or nearly so, to the performance of the contract or project. o This definition reflects a modest expansion of coverage. Under the prior definition in effect since 2000, a secondary site at which "significant portions" of a public work are constructed was covered only if the site was established specifically for contract or project performance. Flagger/traffic control work. The final rule clarifies that locations adjacent, or virtually adjacent, to a primary construction site at which workers perform activities associated with directing vehicular or pedestrian traffic around or away from the primary construction site are part of the site of the work. As the Department has previously recognized that flaggers are laborers or mechanics within the meaning of the DBA (see AAM 141), this means that workers performing flagging activities adjacent or virtually adjacent to the primary construction site are covered by the DBRA. • Transportation: o The final rule articulates the circumstances under which transportation (e.g., of materials) by employees of contractors or subcontractors is covered, namely: Transportation entirely within the site of the work (i.e., from one location on the worksite to another), 2. Transportation of a "significant portion' of a public work between a secondary construction site and a primary construction site (see above), E AM Pate Safe Routes to School City Project Number 104798 3. Transportation between an adjacent or virtually adjacent dedicated support site (e.g., project -dedicated batch plants or borrow pits located next to the worksite) and the primary or secondary worksite, and 4. Onsite activities essential or incidental to offsite transportation (e.g., pickup, dropoff, loading and waiting time) where such time is not de minimis. The total amount of time a driver spends on the site of the work during a typical day or workweek —not just the amount of time that each individual delivery or removal takes —is relevant to a determination of whether the driver's onsite time is de minimis. o Note that, as explained above, transportation is generally not covered at all if the employer meets the definition of material supplier. No Employment Relationship Required The final rule includes revisions throughout parts 1, 3, and 5 to reinforce the well -established principle that Davis -Bacon labor standards requirements apply even when there is no employment relationship between a contractor and worker. For example, many references to "employee" have been changed to "worker." See 40 U.S.C. 3142(c)(1); see, e.g., 29 CFR 1.2, 3.2, 5.2. Fringe Benefits The final rule revises a number of provisions related to fringe benefits. The final rule codifies the principle of annualization that is used to calculate the amount of Davis -Bacon credit that a contractor may receive for contributions to a bona fide fringe benefit plan (or the reasonably anticipated costs of an unfunded benefit plan) when the contractor's workers also work on projects not subject to DBRA requirements (also referred to as private (non-DBRA) work). See 29 CFR 5.25(c). o Contractors, plans, and other interested parties may request an exception to the annualization requirement by submitting a request to the WHD Administrator, but such exceptions are only available if the benefit provided by the plan is not continuous in nature and does not compensate both DBRA and non-DBRA work. o Consistent with existing guidance, the annualization requirement will not apply to contributions to defined contribution pension plans (DCPPs) as long as the DCPP contributions meet the exception criteria and the plan provides for immediate participation and essentially immediate vesting. • The final rule codifies the criteria for determining whether an unfunded benefit plan or program qualifies as a bona fide fringe benefit and explains the process contractors must use to obtain WHD approval of an unfunded plan or program. The final rule clarifies the requirements that must be met for the cost of apprenticeship programs to be credited against fringe benefit obligations. The rule codifies the standard 10 AM Pate Safe Routes to School City Project Number 104798 that credit may be taken only for amounts reasonably related to the costs of the apprenticeship benefits provided to the contractor's employees, such as instruction, books, and tools or materials. The final rule further explains that WHD will presume that amounts the employer is required to contribute by a collective bargaining agreement or by a bona fide apprenticeship plan (whether or not collectively bargained) satisfy the governing standard, but that voluntary contributions beyond those reasonably related to apprenticeship benefits will not be creditable. The final rule adds a provision distinguishing between creditable and noncreditable administrative expenses, explaining that costs that are directly related to the administration and delivery of bona fide fringe benefits to the contractor or subcontractor's workers are creditable, whereas a contractor's own administrative expenses incurred in connection with the provision of fringe benefits are not, even when a contractor pays a third party to perform some or all of its own administrative tasks. The provision provides examples of each category. Recordkeeping Contractors and subcontractors on DBRA-covered projects must keep records required under the DBRA, including under the Copeland Act and the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (CWHSSA), as set forth in 29 CFR parts 3 and 5.? The final rule clarifies and supplements existing DBRA recordkeeping requirements to better effectuate compliance and enforcement. The revisions include the following: • The final rule adds requirements that contractors and subcontractors maintain DBRA contracts and related documents, as well as worker telephone numbers and email addresses. See 29 CFR 5.5(a)(3)(ii) and (iii); 5.5(c). • The final rule clarifies that required records must be retained for at least 3 years after all the work on the prime contract is completed. See 29 CFR 5.5(a)(3), 5.5(c), and 5.6(a)(2)(i); see also 29 CFR 3.4. • The final rule clarifies the distinction between "regular payrolls" and "other basic records" that contractors must make and maintain, and the "certified payroll" documents 2 The Copeland Act requires that contractors working on Davis -Bacon projects submit weekly certified payrolls for work performed on the contract, see 40 U.S.C. 3145, and it also prohibits contractors from inducing any worker to give up any portion of the wages due to them on such projects. See 18 U.S.C. 874. The regulations implementing the Copeland Act as it pertains to DBRA-covered contracts are set forth in 29 CFR part 3. CWHSSA requires an overtime payment of one and one-half times the basic rate of pay for hours worked over 40 in a work week by laborers and mechanics, including watchpersons and guards, on federal contracts as well as certain federally assisted contracts. See 40 U.S.C. 3701 et seq. CWHSSA recordkeeping requirements are set forth in 29 CFR 5.5(c). 11 AM Pate Safe Routes to School City Project Number 104798 and statements of compliance that contractors must submit weekly. See 29 CFR 5.5(a)(3)(i) and (ii); see also 29 CFR 3.4. The final rule codifies WHD's longstanding position that certified payrolls may be requested —and federal agencies must produce, or ensure production of, such certified payrolls —regardless of whether or not WHD has initiated an investigation or other compliance action. The final rule also codifies longstanding Department policy that certified payrolls may be signed and submitted electronically, and clarifies that access to such electronic records must be ensured for at least 3 years after all the work on the prime contract is completed. See 29 CFR 5.5(a)(3); see also 29 CFR 3.3(b). • The final rule provides that a contractor's failure to submit required records upon request may, in addition to providing grounds for the suspension of contract payments and debarment, preclude the contractor from introducing such records as evidence in an administrative proceeding. See 29 CFR 5.5(a)(3)(iv)(B). Enforcement The final rule enhances enforcement by the Department and contracting agencies of the Davis - Bacon labor standards requirements in various ways, including those discussed below. The final rule also seeks to improve compliance by the regulated community. Omission of Required Clauses and Wage Determinations and "Operation of Law" • The final rule emphasizes that the federal agency has the initial responsibility to determine whether a contract is covered by the DBRA and, if so, which wage determination(s) must be included in the prime contract. See 29 CFR 5.6(a)(1)(i). Any question related to the applicability of the DBRA or the appropriate wage determination must be referred to the Administrator of WHD for an appropriate ruling or interpretation. • The final rule provides that the labor standards contract clauses and appropriate wage determinations are effective "by operation of law" and considered to be incorporated even when they have been wrongly omitted from a covered contract. The provision requires that prime contractors be compensated for any difference in labor costs resulting from the incorporation. See 29 CFR 5.5(e). The provision ensures that a mechanism exists to enforce Congress's mandate that workers on covered contracts receive prevailing wages — notwithstanding any mistake made by an executive branch official in an initial coverage decision. • Notwithstanding the operation -of -law provision, contracting agencies continue to have the responsibility to ensure that when DBRA labor standards clauses and/or wage determinations have been wrongly omitted from a contract, those clauses and wage determinations are retroactively incorporated. See 29 CFR 1.6(f); 29 CFR 5.6(a)(ii). 12 AM Pate safe Routes to School City Project Number 104798 Liability of Prime Contractors and Upper -Tier Subcontractors • The final rule clarifies that prime contractors are strictly liable for back wages owed to employees of any subcontractor on the project (though, consistent with existing policy, WHD ordinarily will seek to recover such funds from the violating subcontractor in the first instance). The rule also clarifies that upper -tier subcontractors (in addition to prime contractors) may be responsible for violations by lower -tier subcontractors and therefore responsible for the payment of back wages resulting from such violations. See 29 CFR 5.5(a)(6). • The final rule clarifies that any DBRA-related contract modifications must be flowed down to lower -tier subcontractors. This requires prime contractors and upper -tier subcontractors to flow down any contract modifications in addition to the enumerated contract clauses and applicable wage determination(s) that are included in the original prime contract. See 29 CFR 5.5(a)(6). Withholding Withholding is a procedure through which agencies withhold contract payments from a contractor to ensure that funds are available to compensate workers for wage underpayments. Funds typically are withheld on the contract on which the DBRA violations occurred. However, cross -withholding —a mechanism under which agencies withhold contract monies due a prime contractor from contracts other than the contract under which the alleged violations occurred — may be necessary if sufficient funds are no longer available on the contract under which the violations were found. Consistent with the DBA's directive that the Department pay withheld monies "directly to laborers and mechanics," 40 U.S.C. 3144(a)(1), the withholding contracting agency may eventually transfer the withheld funds to WHD in its capacity as the enforcement agency for distribution directly to workers to whom the contractor owes DBRA back wages. WHD in turn may only distribute cross -withheld funds to such workers after any challenge to the finding of violations has been resolved. See 40 U.S.C. 3142(c)(3), 3144(a)(1) (DBA withholding); 3702(d), 3703(b)(2) (CWHSSA withholding); 29 CFR 5.5(a)(2) and (b)(3), 5.9. The final rule clarifies and strengthens the withholding remedy in several ways: • The final rule clarifies that cross -withholding can be from any contract held by the same prime contractor, even if the contract was awarded or assisted by a different agency than the agency that awarded or assisted the contract on which violations necessitating the withholding occurred. See 29 CFR 5.5(a)(2)(i), 5.5(b)(3)(i), 5.9(b). The final rule establishes the ability to cross -withhold from entities other than the entity that directly entered into the contract with the contracting agency. Under the final rule, when a prime contractor uses a single -purpose entity, joint venture, or other similar vehicle to secure DBRA-covered contracts, the Department may pursue cross - withholding on any other contract held by one of the related entities. See 29 CFR 5.2 (new definition of "prime contractor"), 5.5(a)(2)(i), 5.5(b)(3)(i), 5.9(b) and (c). 13 AM Pate Safe Routes to School City Project Number 104798 • The final rule adds a provision explaining that withholding for workers' back wages has priority over various other competing claims. See 29 CFR 5.5(a)(2)(ii), 5.5(b)(3)(ii). Interest on Back Wages and Monetary Relief The final rule adds interest on back wages and monetary relief as a remedy for DBRA violations. See 5.5(a)(1)(vi), (a)(2)(i), (a)(6), (b)(3)(i), (b)(4); 5.9(a); and 5.10(a). Debarment The final rule revises the debarment provisions in part 5 to harmonize the DBA and the Related Act debarment regulations. • First, the final rule applies the longstanding DBA debarment standard —disregard of obligations to employees or subcontractors —to the Related Acts as well as the DBA, thus, eliminating the heightened Related Act regulatory "aggravated or willful" debarment standard. See 29 CFR 5.12; see also 29 CFR 5.6(b)(4), 5.7(a). The final rule makes various other changes to the debarment regulations so that the Related Act debarment provisions are the same as the current provisions governing DBA debarment. Specifically, the final rule sets forth a 3-year period for all debarments, eliminates the rarely used process for early removal from the debarment list for contractors debarred under a Related Act, and clarifies that "responsible officers" and entities in which debarred entities or individuals have an "interest" may be debarred under the Related Acts as well as under the DBA. See 29 CFR 5.12. New Anti -Retaliation Protections • Under the final rule, it is prohibited to retaliate against workers or job applicants for engaging in protected activities such as making a complaint or cooperating in a WHD investigation under the DBRA, including CWHSSA. See 29 CFR 5.5(a)(11) and (b)(5). • The final rule adds remedies to make whole workers and job applicants who have been discriminated against in any manner for engaging in, or being perceived to have engaged in, certain protected activities. See 29 CFR 5.18. Under the previous part 5 regulations, debarment was the only remedy for such retaliation. • The final tale's new anti -retaliation provisions will enhance compliance and enforcement by discouraging contractors and subcontractors from engaging in business practices that may chill worker participation in WHD investigations or other compliance actions and enable Davis -Bacon labor standards violations to go undetected. Miscellaneous Revisions to Copeland Act Regulations The final rule revises the regulations implementing the Copeland Act at 29 CFR part 3 to update the language and ensure that terms are used in a manner consistent with the terminology set forth 14 "Pate Safe Routes to School City Project Number 104798 in 29 CFR parts 1 and 5, to update websites and contact information, and to make other similar changes to part 3 consistent with the changes to parts 1 and 5. Apprentice Rates and Ratios The final rule requires contractors and subcontractors to adhere to the apprentice wage rate and ratio standards of the project locality, even if the contractor's apprenticeship program is registered in a different locality. The final rule also clarifies that where there is no registered program in the locality of the project establishing applicable apprentice wage rates and ratios, the rates and ratios under the contractor's registered program apply. See 29 CFR 5.5(a)(4)(i)(D). The final rule also removes the outdated references to trainees and training programs from the regulations. Modernized Notification Methods The final rule updates the regulations to permit investigation findings and hearing requests to be served by additional methods of delivery, including by email and delivery by express delivery service. See 29 CFR 5.11(b) and (c); 5.12(b) and (c)(2)(iv). Agency Construction Reports The prior regulations and subregulatory guidance directed Federal agencies, to the extent practicable, to periodically report planned construction activities to the Department for the purpose of the Department's wage survey planning. The final rule codifies that contracting agencies are now required to report construction program data to the Department on an annual basis. See 29 CFR 1.4. Effective Date and Applicability Dates The final rule is effective on October 23, 2023, which is 60 days after the rule published in the Federal Register. Certain provisions of the final rule affect the methodology by which the Department determines prevailing wage rates or otherwise prescribes the content of wage determinations. Under the final rule, these provisions may only be applied to wage surveys for which data collection is completed on or after the final tale's effective date. Wage determination revisions, as well as the amended contract clauses and enforcement provisions in the final rule, generally apply only to new contracts that are entered into after the final tale's October 23, 2023 effective date. The final rule applies to a relatively narrow subset of existing contracts (contracts entered into prior to October 23, 2023. Specifically, to the extent practicable and consistent with applicable law, the rule requires contracting agencies to amend existing indefinite -delivery -indefinite - quantity (IDIQ) contracts (and other similar long-term contracts that are not tied to the completion of a particular project) on an annual basis so that they include the most recently updated wage determination(s). Consistent with existing subregulatory requirements, agencies are also required to incorporate new wage determination revisions (including those carried out under the new methodologies in the rule) into existing contracts where new out -of -scope covered 15 AM Pate Safe Routes to School City Project Number 104798 construction has been added to the contract or where an additional unobligated time period has been added to the project. For additional information regarding these requirements, see the discussion in section III.0 (Applicability Date) of the final rule's Supplementary Information section.

Vol AM Pate Safe Routes to School City Project Number 104798 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. (i) 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 STD'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 AM Pate Safe Router to School City Project Number 104798 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. AM Pate Safe Routes to School City Project Number 104798 (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.
