Federal Trainee Program Special Provisions
(to be used when applicable)
14. FEDERAL TRAINEE PROGRAM
For the Federal training program, the number of trainees or apprentices is .
This section applies if a number of trainees or apprentices is shown on the Notice of Bidders.
As part of the prime contractor’s equal opportunity affirmative action program, provide on- the-job training to develop full journeymen in the types of trades or job classifications involved.
The prime contractor has primary responsibility for meeting this training requirement.
If the prime contractor subcontracts a contract part, they shall determine how many trainees or apprentices are to be trained by the subcontractor. Include these training requirements in each subcontract.
Where feasible, 25 percent of apprentices or trainees in each occupation must be in their 1st year of apprenticeship or training.
Distribute the number of apprentices or trainees among the work classifications on the basis of the prime contractor’s needs and the availability of journeymen in the various classifications within a reasonable recruitment area.
Before starting work, the prime contractor shall submit to the City/County of :
1. Number of apprentices or trainees to be trained for each classification
2. Training program to be used
3. Training starting date for each classification
The prime contractor shall obtain the City/County of approval for this submitted information before the prime contractor starts work. The City/County of credits the prime contractor for each apprentice or trainee the prime contractor employs on the job who is currently enrolled or becomes enrolled in an approved program.
The primary objective of this section is to train and upgrade minorities and women toward journeym an status.
The prime contractor shall make every effort to enroll minority and women apprentices or trainees, such as conducting systematic and direct recruitment through public and private sources likely to yield minority and women apprentices or trainees, to the extent they are available within a reasonable recruitment area and show that they have made the efforts. In making these efforts, the prime contractor shall not discriminate against any applicant for training.
The prime contractor shall not employ as an apprentice or trainee an employee:
1. In any classification in which the employee has successfully completed a training course leading to journeyman status or in which the employee has been employed as a journeyman
2. Who is not registered in a program approved by the US Department of Labor, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training
The prime contractor shall ask the employee if the employee has successfully completed a training course leading to journeyman status or has been employed as a journeyman. The prime contractor’s records must show the employee's answers to the questions.
In the training program, the prime contractor shall establish the minimum length and training type for each classification. The City/Cou
nty of and FHWA approves a program if one of the following is met:
1. It is calculated to:
• Meet the equal employment opportunity responsibilities • Qualify the average apprentice or trainee for journeyman status in the classification involved by the end of the training period
2. It is registered with the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, and it is administered in a way consistent with the equal employment responsibilities of Federal-aid highway construction contracts

Required Federal-Aid Contract Language
October 2023
The prime contractor shall obtain the State's approval for their training program before they start work involving the classification covered by the program.
The prime contractor shall provide training in the construction crafts, not in clerk -typist or secretarial-type positions. Training is allowed in lower-level management positions such as office engineers, estimators, and timekeepers if the training is oriented toward construction applications. Training is allowed in the laborer classification if significant and meaningful training is provided and approved by the division office. Off-site training is allowed if the training is an integral part of an approved training program and does not make up a significant part of the overall training.
The City/County of
reimburses the prime contractor 80 cents per hour of training given an employee on this contract under an approved training program:
1. For on-site training
2. For off-site training if the apprentice or trainee is currently employed on a Federal-aid project and prime contractor does at least one of the following:
a. Contribute to the cost of the training
b. Provide the instruction to the apprentice or trainee c. Pay the apprentice's or trainee's wages during the off-site training period
3. If the prime contractor complies with this section.
Each apprentice or trainee must:
1. Begin training on the project as soon as feasible after the start of work involving the apprentice's or trainee's skill
2. Remain on the project as long as training opportunities exist in the apprentice's or trainee's work classification or until the apprentice or trainee has completed the training program Furnish the apprentice or trainee a:
1. Copy of the training plan approved by the U.S, Department of Labor or a training plan for trainees approved by both Caltrans and FHWA
2. Certification showing the type and length of training satisfactorily completed Maintain records and submit reports documenting contractor’s performance under this section.
15. PROHIBITION OF CERTAIN TELECOMMUNICATIONS AND VIDEO SURVEILLANCE EQUIPMENT AND
SERVICES
In response to significant national security concerns, the agency shall check the prohibited vendor list before making any telecommunications and video surveillance purchase because recipients and subrecipients of federal funds are prohibited from obligating or expending loan or grant funds to:
• Procure or obtain;
• Extend or renew a contract to procure or obtain; or
• Enter into a contract (or extend or renew a contract) to procure or obtain equipment, services, or systems that uses covered telecommunications equipment or services as a substantial or essential component of any system, or as critical technology as part of any system.

The following provi
sion is adopted from 23 CFR Part 230,
Subpart A, Appendix A, with appropriate revisions to conform to the U.S. Department of Labor (US DOL) and FHWA
requirements.
EXHIBIT D
2 1. Equal Employment Opportunity: Equal Employment
Opportunity (EEO) requirements not to discriminate and to take affirmative action to assure equal opportunity as set forth under laws, executive orders, rules, regulations (see 28 CFR Part 35, 29 CFR Part 1630, 29 CFR Parts 1625-1627, 41 CFR Part 60 and 49 CFR Part 27) and orders of the Secretary of Labor as modified by the provisions prescribed herein, and imposed pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 140, shall constitute the EEO and specific affirmative action standards for the contractor's project activities under this contract. The provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq.) set forth under 28 CFR Part 35 and 29 CFR Part 1630 are incorporated by reference in this contract. In the execution of this contract, the contractor agrees to comply with the following minimum specific requirement activities of EEO:
a. The contractor will work with the contracting agency and the Federal Government to ensure that it has made every good faith effort to provide equal opportunity with respect to all of its terms and conditions of employment and in their review of activities under the contract. 23 CFR 230.409 (g)(4) & (5).
b. The contractor will accept as its operating policy the following statement:
"It is the policy of this Company to assure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during
employment, without regard to their race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, color, national origin, age or disability. Such action shall include: employment,
upgrading, demotion, or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including
apprenticeship, pre-apprenticeship, and/or on-the-job
training."
2. EEO Officer: The contractor will designate and make known to the contracting officers an EEO Officer who will have the responsibility for and must be capable of effectively administering and promoting an active EEO program and who must be assigned adequate authority and responsibility to do so.
3. Dissemination of Policy: All members of the contractor's staff who are authorized to hire, supervise, promote, and discharge employees, or who recommend such action or are substantially involved in such action, will be made fully cognizant of and will implement the contractor's EEO policy and contractual responsibilities to provide EEO in each grade and classification of employment. To ensure that the above agreement will be met, the following actions will be taken as a minimum:
a. Periodic meetings of supervisory and personnel office employees will be conducted before the start of work and then not less often than once every six months, at which time the contractor's EEO policy and its implementation will be
reviewed and explained. The meetings will be conducted by the EEO Officer or other knowledgeable company official.
b. All new supervisory or personnel office employees will be given a thorough indoctrination by the EEO Officer, covering all major aspects of the contractor's EEO obligations within thirty days following their reporting for duty with the contractor.
c. All personnel who are engaged in direct recruitment for the project will be instructed by the EEO Officer in the contractor's procedures for locating and hiring minorities and women.
d. Notices and posters setting forth the contractor's EEO policy will be placed in areas readily accessible to employees, applicants for employment and potential employees.
e. The contractor's EEO policy and the procedures to
implement such policy will be brought to the attention of employees by means of meetings, employee handbooks, or
other appropriate means.
4. Recruitment: When advertising for employees, the
contractor will include in all advertisements for employees the notation: "An Equal Opportunity Employer." All such
advertisements will be placed in publications having a large circulation among minorities and women in the area from which the project work force would normally be derived.
a. The contractor will, unless precluded by a valid
bargaining agreement, conduct systematic and direct
recruitment through public and private employee referral sources likely to yield qualified minorities and women. To meet this requirement, the contractor will identify sources of potential minority group employees and establish with such identified sources procedures whereby minority and women applicants may be referred to the contractor for employment consideration.
b. In the event the contractor has a valid bargaining
agreement providing for exclusive hiring hall referrals, the contractor is expected to observe the provisions of that agreement to the extent that the system meets the contractor's compliance with EEO contract provisions. Where
implementation of such an agreement has the effect of
discriminating against minorities or women, or obligates the contractor to do the same, such implementation violates Federal nondiscrimination provisions.
c. The contractor will encourage its present employees to refer minorities and women as applicants for employment.
Information and procedures with regard to referring such applicants will be discussed with employees.
5. Personnel Actions: Wages, working conditions, and
employee benefits shall be established and administered, and personnel actions of every type, including hiring, upgrading, promotion, transfer, demotion, layoff, and termination, shall be taken without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age or disability.
The following procedures shall be followed:
a. The contractor will conduct periodic inspections of project sites to ensure that working conditions and employee facilities do not indicate discriminatory treatment of project site personnel.
b. The contractor will periodically evaluate the spread of wages paid within each classification to determine any
evidence of discriminatory wage practices.
c. The contractor will periodically review selected personnel actions in depth to determine whether there is evidence of discrimination. Where evidence is found, the contractor will promptly take corrective action. If the review indicates that the discrimination may extend beyond the actions reviewed, such corrective action shall include all affected persons.
d. The contractor will promptly investigate all complaints of alleged discrimination made to the contractor in connection with its obligations under this contract, will attempt to resolve such complaints, and will take appropriate corrective action
EXHIBIT D
3 within a reasonable time. If the investigation indicates that the discrimi
nation 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 wil
l 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 contrac
tor's work force requirements
and as permissible under Federal and State regulations, the contractor shall make full use of training programs (i.e., apprenticeship and on-the-job training programs for the geographical area of contract performance). In the event a special provision for training is provided under this contract, this subparagraph will be superseded as indicated in the special provision. The contracting agency may reserve
training positions for persons who receive welfare assistance in accordance with 23 U.S.C. 140(a).
c. The contractor wi
ll advise employees and applicants for
employment of available training programs and entrance
requirements for each.
d. The contractor wil
l 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 c
ontractor 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 wil
l 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 wil
l 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 i
s 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 pr
ovide 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 Accomm
odation 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 shal
l notify all potential subcontractors,
suppliers, and lessors of their EEO obligations under this contract.
b. The contractor wil
l use good faith efforts to ensure
subcontractor compliance with their EEO obligations.
10. Assurances Re
quired:
a. The requirem
ents of 49 CFR Part 26 and the State
DOT’s FHWA-approved Disadvantaged Business Enterprise
(DBE) program are incorporated by reference.
b. The contractor, subrecipient or subcontractor shall not discrimi
nate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the performance of this contract. The contractor shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 CFR part 26 in the award and administration of DOT-assisted contracts. Failure by the contractor to carry out these requirements is a material breach of this contract, which may result in the termination of this contract or such other remedy as the recipient deems
appropriate, which may include, but is not limited to:
(1) Withholding monthly progress payments;
(2) Assessing sanctions;
(3) Liquidated damages; and/or
(4) Disqualifying the contractor from future bidding as non- responsible.
c. The Title VI and nondiscrimination provisions of U.S.
DOT Order 1050.2A at Appendixes A and E are incorporated by reference. 49 CFR Part 21.
11. Records and Rep
orts: 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:
EXHIBIT D
4 (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;
EXHIBIT D
5 (ii) The classification is used in the area by the
construction indus
try; 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 [email protected]. 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 [email protected], 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
EXHIBIT D
6 2.a. of this section or Section V, paragraph 3.a., or both, over claims to those funds by:
(1) A contractor's surety(ies), including without limitation performance bond sureties and payment bond sureties;
(2) A contracting agency for its reprocurement costs;
(3) A trustee(s) (either a court-appointed trustee or a U.S. trustee, or both) in bankruptcy of a contractor, or a contractor's bankruptcy estate;
(4) A contractor's assignee(s);
(5) A contractor's successor(s); or
(6) A claim asserted under the Prompt Payment Act, 31
U.S.C. 3901–3907.
3. Records and certified payrolls (29 CFR 5.5)
a. Basic record requirements (1) Length of record retention.
All regular payrolls and other basic records must be
maintained by the contractor and any subcontractor during the course of the work and preserved for all laborers and
mechanics working at the site of the work (or otherwise working in construction or development of the project under a development statute) for a period of at least 3 years after all the work on the prime contract is completed.
(2) Information required. Such records must contain the name; Social Security number; last known address, telephone number, and email address of each such worker; each
worker's correct classification(s) of work actually performed; hourly rates of wages paid (including rates of contributions or costs anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits or cash equivalents thereof of the types described in 40 U.S.C. 3141(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act); daily and weekly number of hours actually worked in total and on each covered contract; deductions made; and actual wages paid.
(3) Additional records relating to fringe benefits. Whenever the Secretary of Labor has found under paragraph 1.e. of this section that the wages of any laborer or mechanic include the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing benefits under a plan or program described in 40 U.S.C. 3141(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act, the contractor must
maintain records which show that the commitment to provide such benefits is enforceable, that the plan or program is financially responsible, and that the plan or program has been communicated in writing to the laborers or mechanics affected, and records which show the costs anticipated or the actual cost incurred in providing such benefits.
(4) Additional records relating to apprenticeship. Contractors with apprentices working under approved programs must
maintain written evidence of the registration of apprenticeship programs, the registration of the apprentices, and the ratios and wage rates prescribed in the applicable programs.
b. Certified payroll requirements (1) Frequency and method of submission. The contractor or subcontractor must submit weekly, for each week in which any DBA- or Related Acts- covered work is performed, certified payrolls to the contracting agency. The prime contractor is responsible for the submission of all certified payrolls by all subcontractors. A contracting agency or prime contractor may permit or require contractors to submit certified payrolls through an electronic system, as long as the electronic system requires a legally valid electronic signature; the system allows the contractor, the contracting agency, and the Department of Labor to access the certified payrolls upon request for at least 3 years after the work on the prime contract has been completed; and the contracting
agency or prime contractor permits other methods of
submission in situations where the contractor is unable or limited in its ability to use or access the electronic system. (2) Information required. The certified payrolls submitted must set out accurately and completely all of the information required to be maintained under paragraph 3.a.(2) of this section, except that full Social Security numbers and last known addresses, telephone numbers, and email addresses must not be included on weekly transmittals. Instead, the certified payrolls need only include an individually identifying number for each worker ( e.g., the last four digits of the worker's Social Security number). The required weekly
certified payroll information may be submitted using Optional Form WH–347 or in any other format desired. Optional Form WH–347 is available for this purpose from the Wage and Hour Division website at https://www.dol.gov/sites/dolgov/files/WHD/ legacy/files/wh347/.pdf or its successor website. It is not a violation of this section for a prime contractor to require a subcontractor to provide full Social Security numbers and last known addresses, telephone numbers, and email addresses to the prime contractor for its own records, without weekly submission by the subcontractor to the contracting agency. (3) Statement of Compliance. Each certified payroll
submitted must be accompanied by a “Statement of
Compliance,” signed by the contractor or subcontractor, or the contractor's or subcontractor's agent who pays or supervises the payment of the persons working on the contract, and must certify the following:
(i) That the certified payroll for the payroll period contains the information required to be provided under paragraph 3.b. of this section, the appropriate information and basic records are being maintained under paragraph 3.a. of this section, and such information and records are correct and complete; (ii) That each laborer or mechanic (including each helper and apprentice) working on the contract during the payroll period has been paid the full weekly wages earned, without rebate, either directly or indirectly, and that no deductions have been made either directly or indirectly from the full wages earned, other than permissible deductions as set
forth in 29 CFR part 3; and
(iii) That each laborer or mechanic has been paid not less than the applicable wage rates and fringe benefits or cash equivalents for the classification(s) of work actually
performed, as specified in the applicable wage determination incorporated into the contract.
(4) Use of Optional Form WH–347. The weekly submission
of a properly executed certification set forth on the reverse side of Optional Form WH–347 will satisfy the requirement for submission of the “Statement of Compliance” required by paragraph 3.b.(3) of this section.
EXHIBIT D
7 (5) Signature. The signature by the contr actor,
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
EXHIBIT D
8 the equal employment opportunity requirements of Executive Order 11246, as amended, and 29 CFR part 30.
c. Apprentices and Trainees (programs of the U.S. DOT).
Apprentices and trainees working under apprenticeship and skill training programs which have been certified by the Secretary of Transportation as promoting EEO in connection with Federal-aid highway construction programs are not
subject to the requirements of paragraph 4 of this Section IV. 23 CFR 230.111(e)(2). The straight time hourly wage rates for apprentices and trainees under such programs will be
established by the particular programs. The ratio of
apprentices and trainees to journeyworkers shall not be greater than permitted by the terms of the particular program.
5. Compliance with Copeland Act requirements. The
contractor shall comply with the requirements of 29 CFR part 3, which are incorporated by reference in this contract as provided in 29 CFR 5.5.
6. Subcontracts. The contractor or subcontractor must insert FHWA-1273 in any subcontracts, along with the applicable wage determination(s) and such other clauses or contract modifications as the contracting agency may by appropriate instructions require, and a clause requiring the subcontractors to include these clauses and wage determination(s) in any lower tier subcontracts. The prime contractor is responsible for the compliance by any subcontractor or lower tier
subcontractor with all the contract clauses in this section. In the event of any violations of these clauses, the prime contractor and any subcontractor(s) responsible will be liable for any unpaid wages and monetary relief, including interest from the date of the underpayment or loss, due to any workers of lower-tier subcontractors, and may be subject to debarment, as appropriate. 29 CFR 5.5.
7. Contract termination: debarment. A breach of the
contract clauses in 29 CFR 5.5 may be grounds for termination of the contract, and for debarment as a contractor and a subcontractor as provided in 29 CFR 5.12.
8. Compliance with Davis-Bacon and Related Act
requirements. All rulings and interpretations of the Davis- Bacon and Related Acts contained in 29 CFR parts 1, 3, and 5 are herein incorporated by reference in this contract as provided in 29 CFR 5.5.
9. Disputes concerning labor standards. As provided in 29 CFR 5.5, disputes arising out of the labor standards provisions of this contract shall not be subject to the general disputes clause of this contract. Such disputes shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures of the Department of Labor set forth in 29 CFR parts 5, 6, and 7. Disputes within the meaning of this clause include disputes between the contractor (or any of its subcontractors) and the contracting agency, the U.S. Department of Labor, or the employees or their
representatives.
10. Certification of eligibility. a. By entering into this contract, the contractor certifies that neither it nor any person or firm who has an interest in the contractor's firm is a person or firm ineligible to be awarded Government contracts by virtue of 40 U.S.C. 3144(b) or § 5.12(a).
b. No part of this contract shall be subcontracted to any person or firm ineligible for award of a Government contract by virtue of 40 U.S.C. 3144(b) or § 5.12(a).
c. The penalty for making false statements is prescribed in the U.S. Code, Title 18 Crimes and Criminal Procedure, 18 U.S.C. 1001.
11. Anti-retaliation. It is unlawful for any person to discharge, demote, intimidate, threaten, restrain, coerce, blacklist, harass, or in any other manner discriminate against, or to cause any person to discharge, demote, intimidate, threaten, restrain, coerce, blacklist, harass, or in any other manner discriminate against, any worker or job applicant for:
a. Notifying any contractor of any conduct which the worker reasonably believes constitutes a violation of the DBA, Related Acts, this part, or 29 CFR part 1 or 3;
b. Filing any complaint, initiating or causing to be initiated any proceeding, or otherwise asserting or seeking to assert on behalf of themselves or others any right or protection under the DBA, Related Acts, this part, or 29 CFR part 1 or 3;
c. Cooperating in any investigation or other compliance action, or testifying in any proceeding under the DBA, Related Acts, this part, or 29 CFR part 1 or 3; or
d. Informing any other person about their rights under the DBA, Related Acts, this part, or 29 CFR part 1 or 3.
V. CONTRACT WORK HOURS AND SAFETY STANDARDS
ACT
Pursuant to 29 CFR 5.5(b), the following clauses apply to any Federal-aid construction contract in an amount in excess of $100,000 and subject to the overtime provisions of the
Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act. These
clauses shall be inserted in addition to the clauses required by 29 CFR 5.5(a) or 29 CFR 4.6. As used in this paragraph, the terms laborers and mechanics include watchpersons and
guards.
1. Overtime requirements. No contractor or subcontractor contracting for any part of the contract work which may require or involve the employment of laborers or mechanics shall require or permit any such laborer or mechanic in any
workweek in which he or she is employed on such work to work in excess of forty hours in such workweek unless such laborer or mechanic receives compensation at a rate not less than one and one-half times the basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of forty hours in such workweek. 29 CFR
5.5. 2. Violation; liability for unpaid wages; liquidated damages. In the event of any violation of the clause set forth in paragraph 1. of this section the contractor and any
subcontractor responsible therefor shall be liable for the unpaid wages and interest from the date of the underpayment.
In addition, such contractor and subcontractor shall be liable to the United States (in the case of work done under contract for the District of Columbia or a territory, to such District or to such territory), for liquidated damages. Such liquidated damages shall be computed with respect to each individual laborer or
EXHIBIT D
9 mechanic, including watchpersons and guards, employed in violation of the claus
e set forth in paragraph 1. of this section,
in the sum currently provided in 29 CFR 5.5(b)(2)* for each calendar day on which such individual was required or
permitted to work in excess of the standard workweek of forty hours without payment of the overtime wages required by the clause set forth in paragraph 1. of this section.
* $31 as of January 15, 2023 (See 88 FR 88 FR 2210) as may be adjusted annually by the Department of Labor, pursuant to the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990.
3. Withholding for unpaid wages and liquidated damages
a. Withholding process. The FHWA or the contracting
agency may, upon its own action, or must, upon written
request of an authorized representative of the Department of Labor, withhold or cause to be withheld from the contractor so much of the accrued payments or advances as may be
considered necessary to satisfy the liabilities of the prime contractor or any subcontractor for any unpaid wages;
monetary relief, including interest; and liquidated damages required by the clauses set forth in this section on this contract, any other Federal contract with the same prime contractor, or any other federally assisted contract subject to the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act that is held by the same prime contractor (as defined in § 5.2). The necessary funds may be withheld from the contractor under this contract, any other Federal contract with the same prime contractor, or any other federally assisted contract that is subject to the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act and is held by the same prime contractor, regardless of whether the other contract was awarded or assisted by the same agency, and such funds may be used to satisfy the
contractor liability for which the funds were withheld. b. Priority to withheld funds. The Department has priority to funds withheld or to be withheld in accordance with Section IV paragraph 2.a. or paragraph 3.a. of this section, or both, over claims to those funds by:
(1) A contractor's surety(ies), including without limitation performance bond sureties and payment bond sureties;
(2) A contracting agency for its reprocurement costs;
(3) A trustee(s) (either a court-appointed trustee or a U.S. trustee, or both) in bankruptcy of a contractor, or a contractor's bankruptcy estate;
(4) A contractor's assignee(s);
(5) A contractor's successor(s); or
(6) A claim asserted under the Prompt Payment Act, 31
U.S.C. 3901–3907.
4. Subcontracts. The contractor or subcontractor must insert in any subcontracts the clauses set forth in paragraphs 1. through 5. of this section and a clause requiring the
subcontractors to include these clauses in any lower tier subcontracts. The prime contractor is responsible for
compliance by any subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor with the clauses set forth in paragraphs 1. through 5. In the event of any violations of these clauses, the prime contractor and any subcontractor(s) responsible will be liable for any unpaid wages and monetary relief, including interest from the date of the underpayment or loss, due to any workers of lower- tier subcontractors, and associated liquidated damages and may be subject to debarment, as appropriate.
5. Anti-retaliation. It is unlawful for any person to discharge, demote, intimidate, threaten, restrain, coerce, blacklist, harass, or in any other manner discriminate against, or to cause any person to discharge, demote, intimidate, threaten, restrain, coerce, blacklist, harass, or in any other manner discriminate against, any worker or job applicant for:
a. Notifying any c
ontrac
tor of any conduct which the worker
reasonably believes constitutes a violation of the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (CWHSSA) or its
implementing regulations in this part;
b. Filing any complaint, initiating or causing to be initiated any proceeding, or otherwise asserting or seeking to assert on behalf of themselves or others any right or protection under CWHSSA or this part;
c. Cooperating in any investigation or other compliance action, or testifying in any proceeding under CWHSSA or this part; or
d. Informing any other person about their rights under
CWHSSA or this part.
VI. SUBLETTING O
R ASSIGNING THE CONTRACT
This provis
ion is applicable to all Federal-aid construction
contracts on the National Highway System pursuant to 23 CFR 635.116.
1. The contractor shal
l 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 “per
form 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 contr
actor 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;
EXHIBIT D
10 (3) the prime contractor retains all power to accept or exclude individual employees from work on the project; and (4) the prime contractor remains ultimately responsible for the payment of predetermined minimum wages, the
submission of payrolls, statements of compliance and all other Federal regulatory requirements.
b. "Specialty Items" shall be construed to be limited to work that requires highly specialized knowledge, abilities, or equipment not ordinarily available in the type of contracting organizations qualified and expected to bid or propose on the contract as a whole and in general are to be limited to minor components of the overall contract. 23 CFR 635.102.
2. Pursuant to 23 CFR 635.116(a), the contract amount upon which the requirements set forth in paragraph (1) of Section VI is computed includes the cost of material and manufactured products which are to be purchased or produced by the
contractor under the contract provisions.
3. Pursuant to 23 CFR 635.116(c), the contractor shall furnish (a) a competent superintendent or supervisor who is employed by the firm, has full authority to direct performance of the work in accordance with the contract requirements, and is in charge of all construction operations (regardless of who performs the work) and (b) such other of its own organizational resources (supervision, management, and engineering services) as the contracting officer determines is necessary to assure the performance of the contract.
4. No portion of the contract shall be sublet, assigned or otherwise disposed of except with the written consent of the contracting officer, or authorized representative, and such consent when given shall not be construed to relieve the contractor of any responsibility for the fulfillment of the contract. Written consent will be given only after the contracting agency has assured that each subcontract is evidenced in writing and that it contains all pertinent provisions and requirements of the prime contract. (based on long- standing interpretation of 23 CFR 635.116).
5. The 30-percent self-performance requirement of paragraph (1) is not applicable to design-build contracts; however, contracting agencies may establish their own self-performance requirements. 23 CFR 635.116(d).
VII. SAFETY: ACCIDENT PREVENTION
This provision is applicable to all Federal-aid construction contracts and to all related subcontracts.
1. In the performance of this contract the contractor shall comply with all applicable Federal, State, and local laws governing safety, health, and sanitation (23 CFR Part 635).
The contractor shall provide all safeguards, safety devices and protective equipment and take any other needed actions as it determines, or as the contracting officer may determine, to be reasonably necessary to protect the life and health of
employees on the job and the safety of the public and to protect property in connection with the performance of the work covered by the contract. 23 CFR 635.108.
2. It is a condition of this contract, and shall be made a condition of each subcontract, which the contractor enters into pursuant to this contract, that the contractor and any
subcontractor shall not permit any employee, in performance of the contract, to work in surroundings or under conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous or dangerous to his/her health or safety, as determined under construction safety and health standards (29 CFR Part 1926) promulgated by the
Secretary of Labor, in accordance with Section 107 of the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (40 U.S.C. 3704). 29 CFR 1926.10.
3. Pursuant to 29 CFR 1926.3, it is a condition of this contract that the Secretary of Labor or authorized representative thereof, shall have right of entry to any site of contract performance to inspect or investigate the matter of compliance with the construction safety and health standards and to carry out the duties of the Secretary under Section 107 of the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (40 U.S.C. 3704).
VIII. FALSE STATEMENTS CONCERNING HIGHWAY
PROJECTS
This provision is applicable to all Federal-aid construction contracts and to all related subcontracts.
In order to assure high quality and durable construction in conformity with approved plans and specifications and a high degree of reliability on statements and representations made by engineers, contractors, suppliers, and workers on Federal- aid highway projects, it is essential that all persons concerned with the project perform their functions as carefully, thoroughly, and honestly as possible. Willful falsification, distortion, or misrepresentation with respect to any facts related to the project is a violation of Federal law. To prevent any
misunderstanding regarding the seriousness of these and similar acts, Form FHWA-1022 shall be posted on each
Federal-aid highway project (23 CFR Part 635) in one or more places where it is readily available to all persons concerned with the project:
18 U.S.C. 1020 reads as follows:
"Whoever, being an officer, agent, or employee of the United States, or of any State or Territory, or whoever, whether a person, association, firm, or corporation, knowingly makes any false statement, false representation, or false report as to the character, quality, quantity, or cost of the material used or to be used, or the quantity or quality of the work performed or to be performed, or the cost thereof in connection with the submission of plans, maps, specifications, contracts, or costs of construction on any highway or related project submitted for approval to the Secretary of Transportation; or
Whoever knowingly makes any false statement, false
representation, false report or false claim with respect to the character, quality, quantity, or cost of any work performed or to be performed, or materials furnished or to be furnished, in connection with the construction of any highway or related project approved by the Secretary of Transportation; or
Whoever knowingly makes any false statement or false
representation as to material fact in any statement, certificate, or report submitted pursuant to provisions of the Federal-aid Roads Act approved July 11, 1916, (39 Stat. 355), as
amended and supplemented;
Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 5 years or both."
EXHIBIT D
11 IX. IMPLEMENTATION OF CLEAN AIR ACT AND FEDERAL
WATER POLLUTION CONTROL ACT (42 U.S.C. 7606; 2
CFR 200.88; EO 11738)
This provision is applicable to all Federal-aid construction contracts in excess of $150,000 and to all related
subcontracts. 48 CFR 2.101; 2 CFR 200.327.
By submission of this bid/proposal or the execution of this contract or subcontract, as appropriate, the bidder, proposer, Federal-aid construction contractor, subcontractor, supplier, or vendor agrees to comply with all applicable standards, orders or regulations issued pursuant to the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7401-7671q) and the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended (33 U.S.C. 1251-1387). Violations must be reported to the Federal Highway Administration and the Regional Office of the Environmental Protection Agency. 2 CFR Part 200, Appendix II.
The contractor agrees to include or cause to be included the requirements of this Section in every subcontract, and further agrees to take such action as the contracting agency may direct as a means of enforcing such requirements. 2 CFR 200.327.
X. CERTIFICATION REGARDING DEBARMENT,
SUSPENSION, INELIGIBILITY AND VOLUNTARY
EXCLUSION
This provision is applicable to all Federal-aid construction contracts, design-build contracts, subcontracts, lower-tier subcontracts, purchase orders, lease agreements, consultant contracts or any other covered transaction requiring FHWA approval or that is estimated to cost $25,000 or more – as defined in 2 CFR Parts 180 and 1200. 2 CFR 180.220 and 1200.220.
1. Instructions for Certification – First Tier Participants:
a. By signing and submitting this proposal, the prospective first tier participant is providing the certification set out below.
b. The inability of a person to provide the certification set out below will not necessarily result in denial of participation in this covered transaction. The prospective first tier participant shall submit an explanation of why it cannot provide the certification set out below. The certification or explanation will be considered in connection with the department or agency's determination whether to enter into this transaction. However, failure of the prospective first tier participant to furnish a certification or an explanation shall disqualify such a person from participation in this transaction. 2 CFR 180.320.

2.7 Manufacturer’s Recommendations
Where the manufacturer of any material or equipment provides written recommendations or instructions for its use or method of installation (including labels, tags, manuals or trade literature), such recommendations or instructions must be complied with, except where the Contract Documents specifically require deviations.
2.8 Certificates of Compliance
The City Engineer may require certificates of compliance with the specifications for materials or manufactured items produced outside of the job site. Such certificates will not relieve Contractor from the requirements of providing materials and manufactured items complying with the specifications even though they have been incorporated into the job.
3. Grading Ordinance
(a) All excavation, filling and grading operations in Camarillo are governed by City’s Grading Ordinance. No grading permit is required of Contractor for Work performed within the limits of the project right-of-way shown on the plans.
(b) Materials, exported or wasted outside of the project right -of-way shown on the plans, are subject to all requirements of the Grading Ordinance. The requirements may include, but are not limited to, submitting a grading plan prepared by a civil engineer, obtaining a grading permit, paying the permit fee, posting a grading bond, hiring professionals for engineering and testing services, compacting fills, constructing drainage facilities, and providing erosion protection. These requirements are the responsibility of the owner of the land on which the material is placed. To ensure that neither City nor Contractor are a party to aiding or abetting any property owner to violate the Grading Ordinance, no material may be exported or wasted outside the limits of the project right- of-way until Contractor has furnished the Engineer a copy of the grading permit or certificate of exemption covering such operation on land where the material is to be deposited.
4. Progress Payments to Contractor
4.1 Progress Payments to Subcontractors
Contractor must pay to any subcontractor, no later than seven days after receipt of each City progress payment, unless otherwise agreed to in writing, the respective amounts allowed Contractor on account of the work performed by the subcontractors, to the extent of each subcontractor’s interest in the progress payment. In the event that there is a good faith dispute over all or any portion of the amount due on a progress payment from the Contractor to a subcontractor, the Contractor may withhold no more than 150% of the amount disputed.
In all contracts between Contractor and its subcontractors , the percentage of the retention of proceeds withheld may not exceed the percentage specified in the Contract Documents between the City and the Contractor.
4.2 Substitution of Securities
Pursuant to Public Contract Code section 22300 and upon Contractor’s request, City will make payment of funds retained from progress payments for performance security, if Contractor deposits in escrow with City’s Finance Director or with a state or federal chartered (5-2023)

Securities may be substituted upon the following terms and conditions:
(a) Contractor will bear all expenses in connection with the escrow deposit made. (b) Securities or certificates of deposit must be of a value equal to 100% of the amounts of retention to be paid to Contractor.
(c) Contractor must enter into an escrow agreement that is substantially the same as set forth in Public Contract Code section 22300.
(d) Contractor must obtain the written consent of the surety to the escrow agreement.
5. Time for Completion
5.1 Payment for Delays to Contractor
Contractor will be compensated when any extension of time is granted for delays caused solely by action or inaction of City, which the Engineer determines materially increases or decreases the costs of any portion of the Work. If the Engineer determines that compensation is not justified, Contractor will be so advised in writing. Contractor may then submit a notice of potential claim to the Engineer, as provided in the Standard Specifications relative to disputed Work.
5.2 Rights of City to Incr
ease Working Days
If such Work is not completed within the time for completion, the City Council has the right to increase the number of working days in the amount it may determine will best serve the interests of City, and, if it desires to increase the number of working days, it has the further right to charge Contractor and deduct from the final payment for the Work, the actual cost of engineering, inspection, superintendence, and other overhead expenses that are directly chargeable to Contractor, and that accrue during the period of such extension, except that the cost of the final service and preparation of the final estimates may not be included in such charges.
6. Construction Schedule and Commencement of Work
6.1 Proposed Construction Schedule
(a) After notification of award and prior to the start of any Work, Contractor must submit to the City Engineer for approval the proposed construction schedule. The construction schedule must be in the form of a Critical Path Method (CPM) in sufficient logic and detail to show the chronological relationship of all activities of the project, including, but not limited to, estimated starting and completion dates of various activities, procurement of materials and scheduling of equipment, work of subcontractors, interface with work by others, and other tasks required to complete the project. The level of detail must be consistent with the complexity of the project as determined by the City Engineer. The construction schedule must reflect completion of all Work included in the Contract within the Completion Time in accordance with these specifications. A construction schedule showing the project complete in less than the Completion Time will not be accepted. The construction schedule must be cost loaded on a monthly basis. (5-2023)

CAM #4816-7464-0911 v5
(b) If Contractor desires to make a major change in its method of operation after commencing construction, or if its schedules fail to reflect the actual progress, it must submit to City a revised construction schedule in advance of beginning any revised operations. (c) The baseline construction schedule must utilize the Completion Time included in the Contract and must not extend beyond the number of working days. The baseline schedule must have a date of the first working day of the Contract and not include any completed work to date. The baseline construction schedule must not attribute negative float or negative lag to any activity. If the Contractor intends to complete the Work prior to the time of completion, the intended date of completion must be set forth in the construction schedule and the Contractor must execute a zero -cost Contract Change Order that reduces the number of working days allowed for completion to conform to the intended completion date. (d) Float, slack time, or contingency within the schedule and the total float within the overall construction schedule, is not for the exclusive use of the Contractor or the City, but is jointly owned and is a resource to meet Contract milestones and the Contract Completion Time.
The Contractor must not sequester shared float through such strategies as extending activity duration estimates, using preferential logic, or using extensive crew/resource sequencing. Since float time within the construction schedule is jointly owned, no time extensions will be granted nor delay damages paid unless a delay occurs that extends the Work beyond the Contract Completion Time. Since float time within the construction schedule is jointly owned, it is acknowledged that City caused delays can be offset by City caused time savings. Therefore, the Contractor will not be entitled to receive a time extension or delay damages until all City caused time savings are exceeded and the Contract Completion Time is also exceeded. (e) If the Contractor has fallen behind the accepted Construction Schedule by more than 15 percentage points based on earned progress payments, the Contractor must take steps, including, but not limited to, increasing the number of personnel, shifts, and/or overtime operations, days of work, and/or amount of construction equipment until such time as the Work is back on schedule. Contractor must also submit for review no later than the next request for partial payment, such supplementary schedule or schedules as may be deemed necessary to demonstrate the manner in which the rate of progress will be regained. All cost required to bring the Project back on schedule will be borne by the Contractor without additional cost to the City.
(f) If the Contractor falls behind the accepted construction schedule, as modified by such time extensions as may have been granted by the City for unavoidable delays, by more than 35 percentage points based on earned progress payments, the Contractor will be deemed in material breach of Contract and the Work turned over to the surety for completion within the scheduled time.
(g) Contractor must include in the schedule, detailed information for each operation.
When the project schedule includes multiple streets or sites, Contractor must include detailed information for each street or site. When notifications or parking restrictions are required such dates must be included in the schedule.
(h) Contractor must provide critical path schedules in legible hardcopy format and must also submit schedules with each update in an editable electronic format compatible with MS Project or Primavera as directed by Engineer.

6.2 Beginning of Work
(a) The delivery to City, for execution and approval of the Contract Documents properly executed on behalf of Contractor and surety, constitutes Contractor’s authority to enter upon the site of the Work and to begin operations, subject to its assumption of the risk of the disapproval of the Contract, as herein provided, and subject also to the following:
(1) Contractor’s receipt from City for the properly executed Contract Documents, including bonds and certificates of insurance. (2) City may, for any reason, order Contractor not to enter upon the site of the Work, which order will nullify the authority of Contractor to enter upon the site prior to receipt of the Notice to Proceed.
(3) Notice in writing of Contractor’s intention to start Work prior to approval, specifying the date on which Contractor intends to start, must be given to the Engineer at least 48 hours in advance.
(4) Contractor must, on commencing operations, take all precautions required for public safety and observe all the provisions in these General Conditions/Specifications and any Special Provisions.
(5) In the event of disapproval of the Contract, Contractor must, at its expense, do such Work as is necessary to leave the site in a neat condition to the satisfaction of the Engineer. If the Work done affects any existing road or highway, Contractor must, at its expense, restore it to its former condition or the equivalent thereof to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
(6) All Work done according to the Contract prior to its approval will, when the Contract is approved, be considered authorized Work and will be paid for as provided in the Contract.
(b) Entry upon the site without authority will be treated as trespassing. (c) Should Contractor begin the Work in advance of receiving notice that the Contract has been approved as provided above, any Work performed by Contractor in advance of the date of approval will be considered as having been done by Contractor at Contractor’s own risk and as a volunteer unless the Contract is so approved. (d) Contractor may start the Work at any time after the Notice to Proceed is issued, but Work must begin within the number of days indicated on the Bid Proposal after the starting date for the Contract, or at such other times as may be indicated in the Special Provisions. The actual date on which Contractor starts the Work will not affect the required item for completion as provided for in the Contract.
(e) If required by the Special Provisions, Contractor must start construction operations on that part of the project designated by the Engineer. (f) Contractor must perform all the Work in such a manner and with sufficient materials, equipment, and labor to ensure its completion in accordance with the plans and specifications within the time set forth in the Contract.

6.3 Temporary Suspension of Work
(a) Should suspension of the Work be ordered by reason of the failure of Contractor to carry out orders or to perform any provisions of the Contract; or by reason of weather conditions being unsuitable for performing any item or items of the Work; Contractor, at its expense, must take all steps necessary to provide and maintain a safe, smooth, and unobstructed passageway through construction for use by public traffic during the period of such suspension. In the event that Contractor fails to take such steps, City may perform such tasks and the cost thereof will be deducted from monies due Contractor. (b) If the Engineer orders a suspension of all of the Work or a portion of the Work which is the current controlling operation or operations, due to unsuitable weather or to such other conditions as are considered unfavorable to the suitable prosecution of the Work, the days on which the suspension is in effect will not be considered working days for the purpose of calculating Contractor’s time of performance.
(c) If a portion of the Work at the time of such suspension is not a current controlling operation or operations, but subsequently does become the current controlling operation or operations, the determination of working days will be made on the basis of the then current controlling operation or operations.
(d) If suspension of the Work is ordered by the Engineer, due to the failure on the part of Contractor to carry out orders given or to perform any provision of the Contract, no time extension for such suspension will be granted.
6.4 Starting of Contract Time
As soon as practicable after the Contract has been executed by both parties, a Notice to Proceed will be issued by City stating the starting date of the Contract time, which will be as stated in the Notice to Proceed, unless otherwise provided in the Special Provisions.
6.5 Liquidated Damages
The parties agree that time is of the essence in the completion of the Work, and that in case all the Work called for under the Contract is not completed before or upon the expiration of the time limit as set forth in the Contract Documents, as modified by extensions of time granted by City, damage will be sustained by City. As it is impracticable to determine the actual delay damage, the parties agree that Contractor must pay liquidated damages to City in the amount set forth on page 1 of the Bid Proposal, per calendar day for each and every calendar day’s delay beyond the time prescribed to complete the Work. If Contractor fails to pay the liquidated damages, City may deduct the amount from any monies due or that may become due Contractor under the Contract.
7. Subcontracting
7.1 Subcontractors Bound By Contract
Contractor agrees to bind every subcontractor by the terms of the Contract as far as such terms are applicable to the subcontractor’s work. If Contractor subcontracts any part of this Contract, Contractor will be fully responsible to City for the acts and omissions of every subcontractor and of persons either directly or indirectly employed by every such subcontractor. (5-2023)
GENERAL CONDITIONS/SPECIFICATIONS

CAM #4816-7464-0911 v5
Nothing contained in the Contract Documents, however, creates any contractual relation between any subcontractor and City.
7.2 City Consent t o Subcontractors
City’s consent to, or approval of, any subcontractor under the Contract does not in any way relieve Contractor of its obligations under the Contract nor will such subcontract or approval be deemed to waive any provision of the Contract between City and Contractor.
8. Work By Others
8.1 City’s Right to Award Other Contracts
(a) City reserves the right to award other contracts in connection with the project.
Nothing in these General Conditions/Specifications may be interpreted as granting to Contractor exclusive occupancy at the site of the project.
(b) If simultaneous execution of any contract is likely to cause interference with performance of some other contract or contracts, City will decide which contractor must cease Work temporarily and which contractor must continue or whether Work can be coordinated so that contractors may proceed simultaneously. Notwithstanding any other provision of these General Conditions/Specifications, City is not responsible for any damages suffered or extra costs incurred by Contractor resulting directly or indirectly from the award or performance or attempted performance of any other contract or contracts on the project, or caused by any decision or omission of City respecting the order of precedence in performance of contracts.
8.2 Contractor’s Responsibilities
Contractor must ascertain to its own satisfaction the scope of the project and nature of any other contracts that have been or may be awarded by City in prosecution of the project to the end that Contractor may perform the Contract in consideration of such other contracts, if any.
Contractor must afford other contractors and utilities reasonable opportunity for introduction and storage of their materials and execution of their tasks and must properly connect and coordinate its efforts with theirs. Contractor may not cause any unnecessary hindrance or delay to any other contractor working on the project.
If any part of Contractor’s Work depends for proper execution or results upon Work of any other contractor, Contractor must inspect and promptly report to the City Engineer any defects in such Work that render it unsuitable for such proper execution and results. Its failure so to do constitutes a waiver by Contractor of any claim of delay caused by events beyond Contractor’s control.
9. Authority of the Engineer
9.1 General Authority
The Engineer will decide any and all questions which may arise as to the quality or acceptability of materials furnished and Work performed, and as to the manner of performance and rate of progress of the Work, and must decide all questions that may arise as to the interpretation of the drawings and specifications, and all questions as to the acceptable (5-2023)

Should Contractor proceed with the Work without so referring the matter, it does so at its own risk.
9.3 Inspection
(a) The Engineer must be provided full access to all operations involving the Work under the Contract and be provided reasonable advance notice of the time and place of operations which the Engineer desires to observe. The Engineer must be provided with all requested samples of materials and Work for testing purposes. (b) Contractor must furnish the Engineer reasonable facilities for obtaining such information as may be necessary to keep the Engineer fully informed respecting the progress and the manner of the Work. The Engineer’s inspection of the Work will not relieve Contractor from any obligation under the Contract. The Engineer has authority to stop any Work whenever provisions of Contract Documents are not being complied with and Contractor must instruct its employees and any subcontractors accordingly.
9.4 Disputes Pertaining to Payment for Work
Should any dispute arise respecting the true value of any of the Work done, of any of the Work omitted, or any extra Work which Contractor may be required to do, or respecting the size of any payment to Contractor during the performance of the Contract, such dispute will be decided by the Engineer.
10. General Provisions

The scope of work under these bid items shall include all labor, materials, equipment, incidentals, and completion of all work for constructing the concrete structure of the modular wetland, media soil, pretreatment chambers, biofiltration chamber components, planting media soil, flap gates, pipes, and drainage inlet connections as required in accordance with the plans, as specified in these special provisions, and as directed by the Engineer.
City of Camarillo BID ITEMS
ST-5006, CML-5393 (036) 2001-35
B. MATERIALS AND METHODS
The purpose of this specification is to establish criteria for the Modular Subsurface Flow Wetland Systems used for biofiltration of stormwater runoff including dry weather flows and other contaminated water sources. The modular wetland systems include a pre- engineered biofiltration system composed of a pretreatment chamber containing filtration cartridges, a horizontal flow biofiltration chamber with a peripheral void area and a centralized and vertically extending underdrain, the biofiltration chamber containing a sorptive media mix which does not contain any organic material and a layer of plant establishment media, and a discharge chamber containing an orifice control structure.
Treated water flows horizontally in series through the pretreatment chamber cartridges, biofiltration chamber and orifice control structure.
The modular wetland is composed of a pretreatment chamber, a biofiltration chamber and a discharge chamber. The pretreatment device houses cartridge media filters, which consist of filter media housed in a perforated enclosure. The untreated runoff flows into the system via subsurface piping and or surface inlet. Water entering the system is forced through the filter cartridge enclosures by gravity flow. Then the flow contacts the filter media. The flow through the media is horizontal toward the center of each individual media filter. In the center of the media shall be a round slotted PVC pipe of no greater than 1.5” in diameter. The slotted PVC pipe shall extend downward into the water transfer cavity of the cartridge. The slotted PVC pipe shall be threaded on the bottom to connect to the water transfer cavity. After pollutants have been removed by the filter media the water discharges the pretreatment chamber and flows into the water transfer system and is conveyed to the biofiltration chamber. Once runoff has been filtered by the biofiltration chamber it is collected by the vertical underdrain and conveyed to a discharge chamber equipped with a flow control orifice plate. Finally, the treated flow exits the system.
Regarding pollutants, the modular wetland will remove and retain debris, sediments, TSS, dissolved and particulate metals and nutrients including nitrogen and phosphorus species, bacteria, BOD, oxygen demanding substances, organic compounds and hydrocarbons entering the filter during frequent storm events and continuous dry weather flows.
Treatment Flow Rate and Bypass
The modular wetland operates in-line. The MSFWS will treat 100% of the required water quality treatment flow. The size of the system must match those provided on the drawing to ensure proper performance and hydraulic residence time. System must be capable of treating flows to the specified treatment flow rate on the drawings. The flow rate shall be controlled by an orifice.
The installation of the MSFWS shall conform to all applicable national, state, state highway, municipal and local specifications. The modular wetland system shall include an overflow scupper for by-pass flows.
Manufacturer shall comply with the following standards.
