Sack and Patch Procedure
Filling Large Voids:
Remove all cracked and crumbling areas using the point of a heavy-duty trowel or using a sledge and cold chisel to break away any thin or loose edges, squaring off the edges. Use a wire brush to remove any crumbling materials. Then sweep away and collect, or vacuum all dirt and debris down to a solid base. Create temporary forms as necessary for the face of the curb. Wet the areas to be patched with water. Mix rapid-set cement according to manufacturer’s instructions. Apply the mix with a trowel, using heavy trowel pressure. Overfill slightly and then trowel smooth to match the surrounding concrete. Remove formwork and trowel face and top of curb smooth.
Sponge over the cement to smooth finish faces and tops. Allow cement mix to dry.
1774061.2 SP-41 LH 6909-01/2023
Filling Pits and Small Voids:
Use a wire brush to remove any loose materials. Then sweep away and collect, or vacuum all dirt and debris down to a solid base. Make a mortar consisting of one-part cement and two-parts, by volume, of sand passing a No. 16 screen plus enough water such that the consistency of the mortar will be that of thick cream. Wet curb with water using a sprayer. Apply the mortar thoroughly over the area by rubbing in with clean burlap or a sponge rubber float so that it fills all pits. While the mortar is still plastic, rub the surface over with a drier mix of the same material. This removes all excess plastic material and places enough dry material in the pits to stiffen and solidify the mortar. The filings should then be flush with the surface. No material should remain on the surface above the pits. Allow to cure. As necessary for color-uniformity or finished texture, prepare a paintlike cement mixture consisting of cement and water and apply with a sponge or brush to the curb top and face. It may be necessary to blend the cement with white cement to obtain a color matching that of the surrounding concrete surface.

30.2.2 Waste Management and Materials Pollution Control BMPs
INSTRUCTIONS
Waste management consists of implementing procedural and structural BMPs for collecting, handling, storing and disposing of wastes generated by a construction project to prevent the release of waste materials into stormwater discharges. Wastes are going to be generated during construction; however, the methods in which the wastes are collected, stored, and removed will determine the success of the waste management activities. Construction site wastes can range from residues collected from nonstormwater discharges (i.e. paint removal) to general site litter and debris (i.e. empty marker paint cans).
Material pollution control (materials handling) consist of implementing procedural and structural BMPs for handling, storing and using construction materials to prevent the release of those materials into stormwater discharges. The amount and type of construction materials to be utilized at the site will be dependent upon the type of construction and the length of the construction period. The materials may be used continuously, such as fuel for vehicles and equipment, or the materials may be used for a discrete period, such as fertilizer for landscaping.
Waste management and materials pollution control BMPs must be implemented to minimize stormwater contact with construction materials, wastes and service areas, and to prevent materials and wastes from being discharged off-site.
Review project activities to identify likely construction materials and wastes. Identify materials and wastes with special handling or disposal requirements, such as lead contaminated soils. List anticipated materials and wastes below.

ref. Handbook 1344.1
1 HUD-4010 U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Labor Standards Provisions Office of Davis-Bacon and Labor Standards A. APPLICABILITY
The Project or Program to which the construction work covered by this Contract pertains is being assisted by the United States of America, and the following Federal Labor Standards Provisions are included in this Contract pursuant to the provisions applicable to such Federal assistance.
1. Minimum wages and fringe benefits
i. 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 29 CFR
5.5(d) and (e), 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 (a)(1)(v) of these contract clauses; 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 29 CFR 5.5(a)(4). Laborers or mechanics performing work in more than one classification may be compensated at the rate specified for each classification for the time actually worked therein: Provided, That the employer’s payroll records accurately set forth the time spent in each classification in which work is performed. The wage determination (including any additional classifications and wage rates conformed under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iii)) 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. ii. Frequently recurring classifications
A. 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 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iii), provided that:
1. 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;
2. The classification is used in the area by the construction industry; and
3. The wage rate for the classification bears a reasonable relationship to the prevailing wage rates contained in the wage determination.
B. The Administrator will establish wage rates for such classifications in accordance with 29 CFR
5.5(a)(1)(iii)(A)(3). 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. iii. Conformance
A. 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
Previous editions obsolete Form HUD-4010, (10/2023)
ref. Handbook 1344.1
2 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:
1. The work to be performed by the classification requested is not performed by a classification in the wage determination; and
2. The classification is used in the area by the construction industry; and
3. The proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a reasonable relationship to the wage rates contained in the wage determination.
B. The conformance process may not be used to split, subdivide, or otherwise avoid application of classifications listed in the wage determination.
C. 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.
D. 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.
E. The contracting officer must promptly notify the contractor of the action taken by the Wage and Hour Division under 29 CFR 5.5 (a)(1)(iii)(C) and (D). 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 29 CFR 5.5 (a)(1)(iii)(C) or (D) 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.
iv. 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.
v. 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 29 CFR 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.
vi. 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.

ref. Handbook 1344.1
3 2. Withholding
i. Withholding requirements
The U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development 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 29 CFR 5.5(a) 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 29 CFR 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 (or otherwise working in construction or development of the project under a development statute) all or part of the wages required by the contract, or upon the contractor’s failure to submit the required records as discussed in 29 CFR 5.5(a)(3)(iv), HUD may on its own initiative and after written notice to the contractor, sponsor, applicant, owner, or other entity, as the case may be, 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.
ii. Priority to withheld funds
The Department has priority to funds withheld or to be withheld in accordance with 29 CFR
5.5(a)(2)(i) or (b)(3)(i), or both, over claims to those funds by:
A. A contractor’s surety(ies), including without limitation performance bond sureties and payment bond sureties;
B. A contracting agency for its reprocurement costs;
C. 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;
D. A contractor’s assignee(s);
E. A contractor’s successor(s); or
F. A claim asserted under the Prompt Payment Act, 31 U.S.C. 3901-3907.
3. Records and certified payrolls
i. Basic record requirements
A. 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.
B. 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.
C. Additional records relating to fringe benefits. Whenever the Secretary of Labor has found under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(v) that the wages of any laborer or mechanic include the amount of any
Previous editions obsolete Form HUD-4010, (10/2023)
ref. Handbook 1344.1
4 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.
D. 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.
ii. Certified payroll requirements
A. 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 HUD if the agency is a party to the contract, but if the agency is not such a party, the contractor will submit the certified payrolls to the applicant, sponsor, owner, or other entity, as the case may be, that maintains such records, for transmission to HUD. 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 B. Information required The certified payrolls submitted must set out accurately and completely all of the information required to be maintained under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(3)(i)(B), 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 Web site 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 sponsoring government agency (or the applicant, sponsor, owner, or other entity, as the case may be, that maintains such records).
C. 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:
1. That the certified payroll for the payroll period contains the information required to be provided under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(3)(ii), the appropriate information and basic records are being maintained under 29 CFR 5.5 (a)(3)(i), and such information and records are correct and complete;
2. 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
Previous editions obsolete Form HUD-4010, (10/2023)
ref. Handbook 1344.1
5 from the full wages earned, other than permissible deductions as set forth in 29 CFR part 3; and
3. 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.
D. 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 29 CFR 5.5(a)(3)(ii)(C).
E. 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.
F. 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.
G. 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.
iii. 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. iv Required disclosures and access
A. Required record disclosures and access to workers The contractor or subcontractor must make the records required under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(3)(i)–(iii), and any other documents that HUD or the Department of Labor deems necessary to determine compliance with the labor standards provisions of any of the applicable statutes referenced by 29 CFR 5.1, available for inspection, copying, or transcription by authorized representatives of HUD or the Department of Labor, and must permit such representatives to interview workers during working hours on the job.
B. 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 29 CFR 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.
C. 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 HUD if the agency is a party to
Previous editions obsolete Form HUD-4010, (10/2023)
ref. Handbook 1344.1
6 the contract, or to the Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor. If the Federal agency is not such a party to the contract, the contractor, subcontractor, or both, must, upon request, provide the full Social Security number and last known address, telephone number, and email address of each covered worker to the applicant, sponsor, owner, or other entity, as the case may be, that maintains such records, for transmission to HUD, 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
i. Apprentices
A. 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.
B. 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.
C. 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 29 CFR 5.5(a)(4)(i)(D). Any worker listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who is not registered or otherwise employed as stated in 29 CFR
5.5(a)(4)(i)(A), 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.
D. 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. ii Equal employment opportunity The use of apprentices and journeyworkers under this part must be in conformity with the equal employment opportunity requirements of Executive Order 11246, as amended, and 29 CFR part 30.
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.
Previous editions obsolete Form HUD-4010, (10/2023)
ref. Handbook 1344.1
7 6 Subcontracts. The contractor or subcontractor must insert in any subcontracts the clauses contained in 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1) through (11), along with the applicable wage determination(s) and such other clauses or contract modifications as the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development 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.
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.
9 Disputes concerning labor standards. Disputes arising out of the labor standards provisions of this contract shall not be subject to the general disputes clause of this contract. Such disputes shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures of the Department of Labor set forth in 29 CFR parts 5, 6, and 7. Disputes within the meaning of this clause include disputes between the contractor (or any of its subcontractors) and the contracting agency, the U.S. Department of Labor, or the employees or their representatives.
10. Certification of eligibility.
i. 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 29 CFR 5.12(a). ii. 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 29 CFR 5.12(a). iii. 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:
i. Notifying any contractor of any conduct which the worker reasonably believes constitutes a violation of the DBA, Related Acts, or 29 CFR parts 1, 3, or 5; ii. 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, or 29 CFR parts 1, 3, or 5;
iii. Cooperating in any investigation or other compliance action, or testifying in any proceeding under the DBA, Related Acts, or 29 CFR parts 1, 3, or 5; or
iv. Informing any other person about their rights under the DBA, Related Acts, or 29 CFR parts 1, 3, or 5.
B. Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (CWHSSA) The Agency Head must cause or require the contracting officer to insert the following clauses set forth in 29 CFR 5.5(b)(1), (2), (3), (4), and (5) in full, or (for contracts covered by the Federal Acquisition Regulation) by reference, in any 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 must
Previous editions obsolete Form HUD-4010, (10/2023)
ref. Handbook 1344.1
8 be inserted in addition to the clauses required by 29 CFR 5.5(a) or 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.
2. Violation; liability for unpaid wages; liquidated damages. In the event of any violation of the clause set forth in 29 CFR 5.5(b)(1) 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 mechanic, including watchpersons and guards, employed in violation of the clause set forth in 29 CFR 5.5(b)(1), in the sum of $31 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 29 CFR 5.5(b)(1).
3. Withholding for unpaid wages and liquidated damages
i. Withholding process The U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development or the recipient of Federal assistance 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 29 CFR 5.5(b) 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 29 CFR 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.
ii Priority to withheld funds The Department has priority to funds withheld or to be withheld in accordance with 29 CFR 5.5(a)(2)(i) or (b)(3)(i), or both, over claims to those funds by:
A. A contractor’s surety(ies), including without limitation performance bond sureties and payment bond sureties;
B. A contracting agency for its reprocurement costs;
C. 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;
D. A contractor’s assignee(s);
E. A contractor’s successor(s); or
F. 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 29 CFR 5.5(b)(1) through (5) 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 29 CFR 5.5(b)(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,
Previous editions obsolete Form HUD-4010, (10/2023)
ref. Handbook 1344.1
9 due to any workers of lower-tier subcontractors, and associated liquidated damages and may be subject to debarment, as appropriate.

Staff Report
Date: September 8, 2026
To: Mayor and Council Members
From: Joe Ames, Assistant City Manager
Issue: Amendment No. 1 to Professional Services Agreement with Advantec Consulting Engineers, Inc. for Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program for Avenida de la Carlota
Recommendation: That the City Council: 1. Approve Amendment No. 1 to Professional Services Agreement with Advantec Consulting Engineers, Inc. for Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program for Avenida de la Carlota; 2.
Authorize the City Attorney to make minor modifications as may be necessary to execute the Amendment; and 3. Authorize the City Manager to sign the Amendment.
Background:
The City of Laguna Hills was awarded funding through the Orange County Transportation Authority’s (OCTA) FY 2025/2026 Project P – Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program. The grant-funded project proposed to upgrade and synchronize 8 signalized intersections along Avenida de la Carlota from Lake Forest Drive to Los Alisos Boulevard. These improvements will include construction to provide new and updated traffic signal-related equipment including new traffic signal controllers, CCTV and fiber optic communication network to the Traffic Management Center.
The Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program – Avenida de la Carlota Corridor Project (CIP No. 168-N) is included in the City’s FY 2025-2026 Capital Improvement Program as a regional initiative focused on traffic signal coordination and corridor efficiency.
The first step in implementing this project was to award an agreement for project design services. Advantec Consulting Engineers, Inc. was identified as the most
Item No. 4.5
qualified consultant to provide the design engineering, traffic systems integration, and technical support services necessary to complete both the Primary Implementation (PI) and Operations and Maintenance (O&M) phases of the project.
On January 27, 2026, City Council awarded a Professional Services Agreement to Advantec Consulting Engineers, Inc. in the amount of $146,500 for engineering design, traffic signal timing services, and technical support related to the Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program – Avenida de la Carlota Corridor Project.
During the review of the project, City staff recognized the need to expand the current design scope for the Avenida De La Carlota RTSSP to include fiber optic communication improvements to two additional roadway segments to provide redundant connectivity and to tie in existing traffic signals to the future fiber optic cable network:
• Lake Forest Drive, from Avenida De La Carlota to Moulton Parkway (approx. 1,800 ft.); and
• Los Alisos Boulevard, from Avenida De La Carlota to Paseo De Valencia (approx. 1,460 ft.)
Amendment No. 1 allows for this design work to be performed. If approved, the additional segments will be added to the current tasks and schedules, and will include additional field work, preparation of plan sheets and estimates. This work will likely be bid as an "additive bid" to verify this additional work fits within the overall construction budget.
The infrastructure design plans are expected to be complete by the end of the year to allow for the start of construction in early 2027.
Fiscal Impact:
Sufficient budget exists in CIP 168 for this work. The balance available in CIP 168 for City matching funds is $1,177,279 as of the end of FY 2025-2026 (June 30, 2026).

11 4924-8761-3576, v. 1
5.6 Primary and Non-Contributing Insurance.

At least fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of any such policy, evidence of insurance showing that such insurance coverage has been renewed or extended shall be filed with the City.

Joe Ames, PE, TE – Interim City Manager/Public Works Director 24035 El Toro Road
Laguna Hills, CA 92653
SUBJECT: Proposal for Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program for Avenida De La Carlota Corridor Project Dear Mr. Ames,
ADVANTEC Consulting Engineers, Inc. (ADVANTEC) is pleased to submit the accompanying proposal in response to the Request for Proposals (RFP) and Addendum 1 for the above referenced project.
With deep-rooted expertise in OCTA’s Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program (RTSSP), ADVANTEC has successfully delivered numerous high-impact projectssince the inception of the program. This includes our most recently completed project, Los Alisos Boulevard Route, for which ADVANTEC developed special synchronization plans for parts of Paseo De Valencia, Laguna Hills Drive, and Moulton Parkway. Currently, we are partnering with the City of Mission Viejo on the Olympiad–Felipe Road RTSSP, giving us direct, up-to-date experience with OCTA's latest Comprehensive Transportation Funding Program (CTFP) requirements and expectations.
Our team offers hands-on, up-to-date experience in managing both the design and construction phases of RTSSPs including major Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) initiatives. We have played an integral role throughout construction, system integration, testing, commissioning, and final acceptance including system operations, management and maintenance. All are contributing factors to the successful deployment of corridor-wide improvements. Building upon this foundation, the ADVANTEC team will leverage a refined collaborative approach, tailored to meet the needs of the City of Laguna Hills and partner agencies—while ensuring full alignment with OCTA’s Project P objectives.
The ADVANTEC Team includes outstanding professional firms with clear roles as shown on the following table.
By selecting the ADVANTEC Team, the City of Laguna Niguel will realize the following key benefits:
✓ Proven Expertise in OCTA’s Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program (RTSSP / Project P). ADVANTEC brings unmatched experience in delivering successful RTSSP and TLSP projects across Orange County. Our team has partnered with OCTA and the majority of the county’s 34 cities, implementing signal synchronization along 18 corridors encompassing over 500 intersections. We bring proven expertise, aligning with the program’s mission, applying its technical guidelines, and delivering measurable improvements to maximize traffic efficiency and synchronization across jurisdictions. Notable recent projects include the Los Alisos Boulevard, Garden Grove Boulevard, and Fairview Road RTSSPs. Currently, we are leading final design (PS&E) for the Olympiad–Felipe Road TSSP with the City of Mission Viejo, ensuring continued alignment with OCTA’s evolving program requirements.
✓ In-depth knowledge and experience with the Cities in south Orange County. Our experience includes working with the Cities of Laguna Hills, Aliso Viejo, Lake Forest, Mission Viejo, Rancho Santa Margarita, and Caltrans. Our Team has worked with all participating agencies on several PS&E and Traffic Signal Synchronization (TSS) projects for the last 17 years, including the Oso Parkway Demonstration Project, Alicia Parkway TLSP, Marguerite TSSP, Jeronimo Road TSSP, Los Alisos Boulevard TSSP, Olympiad-Felipe Road TSSP and On-Call Contracts for Traffic Engineering and Design Services. We have intimate knowledge of each agency’s traffic and communications system, signal timing and operations, and central traffic management systems/TMC's. With this knowledge and experience we are ready to hit the ground running. ✓ Project Approach that will Deliver Lower Construction Costs and Effective Timing Plans. ADVANTEC has proposed a design and procurement approach and an operations and maintenance approach that will :
1. Reduce construction costs by procuring the required equipment directly from vendors, this way avoiding “mark-ups” by the contractor. We expect between 15% and 20% savings on most equipment types.

2. Create a detailed SimTraffic simulation model of the El Toro Road /Avenida De La Carlota/I-5 off ramp area that will enable us to review and fine tune signal operation during the O&M phase, by selecting the best phase sequences, offsets and splits.
3. Evaluate and implement additional Time of Day plans during O&M for traffic signals adjacent to special land uses, such as commercial centers, to better manage peaks in traffic.
4. Develop special timing plans and set up Traffic Responsive Operations along selected segments of the corridor to better accommodate sudden increases in traffic caused by traffic bypassing the freeway. We will also recommend strategies to enhance rapid response times for emergency vehicles and to minimize congestion delays. ✓ Dedicated Support for City Engineering Staff. We recognize the increasing demands placed on public agency staff and are committed to acting as a true extension of your team. ADVANTEC brings a responsive, proactive approach to managing all facets of project delivery—from maintaining project schedules and coordinating procurement to overseeing contractor activities and ensuring compliance with City, agency, and OCTA requirements. We don’t just meet expectations—we’re here to support and enhance your capacity.
✓ Streamlined Approach for Design, Construction, System, and Implementation. ADVANTEC has extensive experience with implementing each design element: Econolite's Cobalt Advanced Traffic Controllers (ATCs), Bosch's Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) Cameras, central system upgrades, fiber optic communications, and network Ethernet switches. ADVANTEC's design approach provides the easiest path for the Contractor install, setup, and integrate each technology, which minimizes potential change orders. ADVANTEC will deliver a turnkey solution that empowers the City with complete operational command and control, enabling real-time decision-making, improved efficiency, and long-term system flexibility. ✓ The Avenida de la Carlota Corridor Project is a Critical Infrastructure Improvement for the City of Laguna Hills. The project aligns with RTSSMP goals and will enhance regional mobility, reduce congestion, and support future growth. Its position within the signal synchronization network, along with its connectivity to key arterials and the I-5, ensures that it will continue to serve as an essential route for both local and regional traffic, supporting sustainable transportation and improved quality of life for the community.
✓ A Systems Engineering Approach for Scalable, Secure ITS Solutions. ADVANTEC applies a comprehensive systems engineering approach to every ITS project we deliver. Led by Mr. John Cox, our dedicated Systems Engineer, we ensure each project is designed for long-term performance, scalability, and cyber security. Mr. Cox will work closely with City staff to integrate the latest ITS strategies over a secure, reliable communication network—while ensuring the design aligns with best practices in network topology, redundancy, and future system expansion. We understand the importance of designing solutions that not only work today but are resilient, adaptable, and future-ready. ✓ ADVANTEC Brings Technology and Operational Innovations to the City. Based on our recent experience with the Coachella Valley Smart Region project, we bring the City our knowledge and experience that could be applied to this project or for future projects. This includes standardize signal timing parameters, network signal synchronization, special events traffic operations, traffic responsive pilot projects, using roadside Units (RSUs), video detection systems, and CCTV Cameras to collect real-time traffic data, speeds, origin destination, etc. to manage and update signal timing and synchronization plans in real-time, and developing big data work plan to manage traffic operations.
