TITLE:
Award of Contracts to Madonna Construction and ENGEO for the Federally Funded Cliff Avenue/Ocean Boulevard Storm Drain Repair and Bluff Face Stabilization Project; Acceptance of Grant-Related Funding
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution:
1.Authorizing the City Manager to:
A. Execute a construction contract with John Madonna Construction Co., Inc. for the Cliff Avenue/Ocean Boulevard Storm Drain Repair and Bluff Face Stabilization Project in the amount of $6,031,914; and
B. Enter into a Professional Services Agreement with ENGEO Incorporated in an amount not to exceed $350,000 for Engineering Services During Construction; and
2. Accepting related grant funds; and
3. Appropriating related budget adjustments in Fiscal Year 2027.
DISCUSSION:
Storm events during January 2017 caused saturation of the bluff face along Ocean Boulevard and Cliff Avenue, resulting in extensive erosion and damage to the existing roadway and stormwater facilities. Funding for repairs was approved through the Federal Emergency Relief Program, administered by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Caltrans Local Assistance (LA). The project includes the stabilization of a section of bluff along Ocean Boulevard and Cliff Avenue as well as reconstruction of the storm drain outfall, sidewalk, vehicular guardrail, and other surface improvements.
On November 18, 2025, the City Council rejected all bids for construction of the project, which were significantly higher than the Engineer’s Estimate. Staff entered into an agreement with Cannon Corporation (Cannon) to perform a constructability review of the construction plans. The construability review resulted in recommended changes which were incorporated into the plans.
Construction
The project was advertised for construction and three bids were received on July 9, 2026 ranging in amount from $6,031,914 to $7,646,781. The lowest responsible bidder is John Madonna Construction Co., Inc. (John Madonna) with a bid of $6,031,914 (bid results provided for reference in Table 1). Staff has verified John Madonna’s references and qualifications, and recommends the Council adopt a resolution (Attachment 1) awarding a contract (Attachment 2) to John Madonna in the amount of $6,031,914 for construction of the project.

Staff recommends that the Council adopt a resolution (Attachment 1) authorizing the City Manager to execute a construction contract with John Madonna in the amount of $6,031,914, enter into a Professional Services Agreement with ENGEO in an amount not to exceed $350,000 for ESDC, and appropriating related grant funds in Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 for the Cliff Avenue/Ocean Boulevard Storm Drain Repair and Bluff Face Stabilization Project.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impact of adopting the subject resolution is a total estimated cost of $6,381,914 for the construction and ESDC and accepting $4,837,540 in additional grant revenues.
The total estimated cost of the FY 2027 Capital Projects Fund Cliff Avenue/Ocean Boulevard Storm Drain Repair and Bluff Face Stabilization project is $7,330,344.61, which includes construction, ESDC, and the already approved Construction Management cost-.

Council Agenda 8-4-2026 9.E-9
4 of 19
Construction Services Agreement (Rev. 2/2/2018)
progress payment from the prime contractor or subcontractor to a subcontractor, the prime contractor or subcontractor may withhold no more than 150 percent of the disputed amount. Any violation of this requirement shall constitute a cause for disciplinary action and shall subject the licensee to a penalty, payable to the subcontractor, of 2 percent of the amount due per month for every month that payment is not made.

IX. RETENTION OF SECURITIES
Public Contract Code Section 22300 permits the substitution of securities for any monies withheld by CITY to ensure performance under a contract, at the request and expense of CONTRACTOR.
Substitution of securities shall not be required in contracts in which there will be financing provided by the Farmers Home Administration of the United States Department of Agriculture pursuant to the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act (7 U.S.C. Sec. 1921 et seq.), and where federal regulations or policies, or both, do not allows the substitution of securities. Alternatively, CONTRACTOR may request that CITY make payment of retention earned directly to an escrow agent at the expense of CONTRACTOR. At the expense of CONTRACTOR, CONTRACTOR may direct the investment of the payments into securities and CONTRACTOR shall receive the interest earned on the investments upon the same terms provided for in this section for securities deposited by CONTRACTOR. Upon satisfactory completion of the contract, CONTRACTOR shall receive from the escrow agent all securities, interest, and payments received by the escrow agent from CITY, pursuant to the terms of this section.
The escrow agreement entered into pursuant to this section must be substantially similar to the form included in Public Contract Code Section 22300(e). CONTRACTOR shall obtain the written consent of its surety to such escrow agreement. Securities eligible for investment under this section shall include those listed in Section 16430 of the Government Code, bank or savings and loan certificates of deposit, interest-bearing demand deposit accounts, standby letters of credit, or any other security mutually agreed to by CONTRACTOR and CITY.
In accordance with Public Contract Code Section 22300(d)(1), if CONTRACTOR elects to receive interest on moneys withheld in retention by CITY, CONTRACTOR shall, at the request of any subcontractor performing more than five percent of CONTRACTOR’s total bid , make that option available to the subcontractor regarding any moneys withheld in retention by CONTRACTOR from the subcontractor.
X. INDEMNITY, DEFENSE AND HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT
To the fullest extent permitted by law, CONTRACTOR shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the CITY, and its elected officials, officers, employees, volunteers, and agents (“CITY Indemnitees”), from and against any and all causes of action, claims, liabilities, obligations, judgments, or damages, including reasonable legal counsels’ fees and costs of litigation (“claims”), arising out of CONTRACTOR’s performance or CONTRACTOR’s failure to perform its obligations under this AGREEMENT or out of the operations conducted by CONTRACTOR, except for such loss or damage Attachment 2

5 of 19
Construction Services Agreement (Rev. 2/2/2018)

Payment by CITY is not a condition precedent to enforcement of the indemnities in this section. In the event of any dispute between CONTRACTOR and CITY, as to whether liability arises from the active negligence, sole negligence, or willful misconduct of CITY or its officers, employees, or agents, CONTRACTOR will be obligated to pay for CITY’s defense until such time as a final judgment has been entered adjudicating CITY as having been actively negligent, solely negligent, or as having engaged in willful misconduct.

i. The named insureds shall be CONTRACTOR and CITY, including its officers, officials, employees, and agents. All Subcontractors (excluding those solely responsible for design work) of any tier and suppliers shall be included as additional insureds as their interests may appear. CONTRACTOR shall not be required to maintain property insurance for any portion of the Project following transfer of control thereof to CITY. The policy shall contain a provision that all proceeds from the builder’s risk policy shall be made payable to CITY. ii. Policy shall be provided for replacement value on an "all risk" basis for the completed value of the project. There shall be no coinsurance penalty or provisional limit provision in any such policy. Policy must include: (1) coverage for any ensuing loss from faulty workmanship, nonconforming work, omission or deficiency in design or specifications; (2) coverage against machinery accidents and operational testing; (3) coverage for removal of debris, and insuring the buildings, structures, machinery, equipment, materials, facilities, fixtures and all other properties constituting a part of the Project; (4) ordinance or law coverage for contingent rebuilding, demolition, and increased costs of construction; (5) transit coverage (unless insured by the supplier or receiving contractor), with sub-limits sufficient to insure the full replacement value of any key equipment item; (6) ocean marine cargo coverage insuring any Project materials or supplies, if applicable; (7) coverage with sub-limits sufficient to insure the full replacement value of any property or equipment stored either on or off the site or any staging area. Such insurance shall be on a form acceptable to CITY to ensure adequacy of terms and sublimits and shall be submitted to CITY prior to commencement of construction.
B. Other provisions or requirements:
1. Proof of insurance. CONTRACTOR shall provide certificates of insurance to CITY as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein, along with a waiver of subrogation endorsement for Workers’ Compensation. Insurance certificates and endorsements must be approved by CITY’s Risk Manager prior to commencement of performance.
CITY’s Risk Manager or City Attorney may waive the requirement of any insurance policy set forth herein if he/she determines that such a policy is not commercially available to CONTRACTOR, or if the risk to CITY is sufficiently minimal to render such insurance unnecessary. If such a policy is commercially available, additional cost to CONTRACTOR in obtaining such a policy shall not be a basis upon which the insurance requirement will be waived. Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with CITY at all times during the term of AGREEMENT. CITY reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, including endorsements to such policies, at any time.
2. Duration of coverage. CONTRACTOR shall procure and maintain for the duration of the AGREEMENT insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property, which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the Project hereunder by CONTRACTOR, his agents, representatives, employees or subcontractors. CONTRACTOR must maintain general liability and umbrella or excess liability insurance for as long as there is a statutory exposure to completed operations claims. CITY and its officers, elected officials, employees, and agents shall continue as additional insureds under such policies.
3. Primary/noncontributing. Coverage provided by CONTRACTOR shall be primary and any insurance or self-insurance procured or maintained by CITY shall not be required Attachment 2
Council Agenda 8-4-2026 9.E-14
9 of 19
Construction Services Agreement (Rev. 2/2/2018)
to contribute with it. The limits of insurance required herein may be satisfied by a combination of primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and non-contributory basis for the benefit of CITY before CITY’s own insurance or self-insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.
4. CITY’s rights of enforcement. In the event any policy of insurance required under this AGREEMENT does not comply with these requirements or is canceled and not replaced, CITY has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by CITY will be promptly reimbursed by CONTRACTOR or CITY will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from CONTRACTOR payments. In the alternative, CITY may terminate this AGREEMENT.
5. Acceptable insurers. All insurance policies shall be issued by an insurance company currently authorized by the Insurance Commissioner to transact business of insurance or is on the List of Approved Surplus Line Insurers in the State of California, with an assigned policyholders’ Rating of A- (or higher) and Financial Size Category Class VII (or larger) in accordance with the latest edition of Best’s Key Rating Guide, unless otherwise approved by CITY’s Risk Manager.
6. Waiver of subrogation. All insurance coverage maintained or procured pursuant to this agreement shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against CITY, its elected or appointed officers, agents, officials, employees, and volunteers or shall specifically allow CONTRACTOR or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. CONTRACTOR hereby waives its own right of recovery against CITY, and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subconsultants.
7. Enforcement of contract provisions (non-estoppel). CONTRACTOR acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of CITY to inform CONTRACTOR of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on CITY nor does it waive any rights hereunder.
8. Requirements not limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance.
Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type. If CONTRACTOR maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, CITY requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by CONTRACTOR. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to CITY.
9. Notice of cancellation. CONTRACTOR agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide to CITY with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment, for which a ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each required coverage. In the event CONTRACTOR’S policy of insurance cannot be endorsed to provide this notice of cancellation, CONTACTOR shall provide CITY notice of such cancellation, in writing, not later than 24 hours following the effective time of such cancellation.
10. Additional insured status. General liability and automobile insurance policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that CITY and its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers shall be additional insureds under such policies. This provision Attachment 2
Council Agenda 8-4-2026 9.E-15
10 of 19
Construction Services Agreement (Rev. 2/2/2018)
shall also apply to any excess/umbrella liability policies. Each such insurance policy shall contain language substantially similar to the following clause:
"The City of Pismo Beach, its elected and appointed officials, officers, employees and agents are named as additional insureds as respects operations of the named insured performed under contract with the City of Pismo Beach."
11.Prohibition of undisclosed coverage limitations. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to CITY and approved of in writing by CITY’s Risk Manager or City Attorney.
12.Separation of insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for all additional insureds ensuring that CONTRACTOR’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross -liability exclusions.
13.Pass-through clause. CONTRACTOR agrees to ensure that its subconsultants, subcontractors, and any other party providing any work on the Project under the direction of CONTRACTOR, provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of CONTRACTOR. CONTRACTOR agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section.
CONTRACTOR agrees that upon request, all agreements with consultants, subcontractors, and others engaged in performing work on the Project will be submitted to CITY for review.
14.CITY’s right to revise requirements. CITY reserves the right at any time during the term of the AGREEMENT to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving CONTRACTOR a ninety (90) day advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to CONTRACTOR, CITY and CONTRACTOR may renegotiate CONTRACTOR’s compensation.
15.Self-insured retentions. Any deductibles or self-insured retention must be declared to and approved by CITY. At the option of CITY, either the insurer shall reduce or eliminate such deductibles or self-insured retention as respects CITY, its elected and appointed officials, employees and volunteers, or CONTRACTOR shall procure a bond guaranteeing payment of losses and related investigations, claim administration and defense expenses. Self-insurance will not be considered to comply with this paragraph unless approved by CITY.
16.Timely notice of claims. CONTRACTOR shall give CITY prompt and timely notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from CONTRACTOR’s performance under this AGREEMENT, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required liability policies.
17.Additional insurance. CONTRACTOR shall also procure and maintain, at its own cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own judgment may be necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of the Project.
XVII.CONTRACTOR'S LICENSE
The CONTRACTOR must be properly licensed as a contractor from contract award through Contract acceptance (23 CFR 635.110). The Contractor's License, issued by the State of California, must be current and in good standing. CONTRACTOR shall ensure that any subcontractor working on the Attachment 2
Council Agenda 8-4-2026 9.E-16
11 of 19
Construction Services Agreement (Rev. 2/2/2018)
Project possesses at the time of commencing work and throughout the Project duration, a Contractor's License, issued by the State of California, which is current and in good standing.
XVIII. REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS
Pursuant to Section 1771.1(a) of the Labor Code:
“A contractor or subcontractor shall not be qualified to bid on, be listed in a bid proposal, subject to the requirements of Section 4104 of the Public Contract Code, or engage in the performance of any contract for public work, as defined in this chapter, unless currently registered and qualified to perform public work pursuant to Section 1725.5. It is not a violation of this section for an unregistered contractor to submit a bid that is authorized by Section 7029.1 of the Business and Professions Code or by Section 10164 or 20103.5 of the Public Contract Code, provided the contractor is registered to perform public work pursuant to Section 1725.5 at the time the contract is awarded.”
CONTRACTOR must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) of the State of California in order to be eligible to work on public works projects. CONTRACTOR must ensure registration with the DIR that is active and in good standing.
Except as otherwise provided in Labor Code Section 1771.1(a), n o contractor or subcontractor may be listed on a bid proposal for a public works project unless registered with the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code section 1725.5.
No contractor or subcontractor may be awarded a contract for public work on a public works project unless registered with the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code section 1725.5.
This project is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations.
XIX. CORPORATION IN GOOD STANDING
If CONTRACTOR is a corporation, the undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the corporation is duly incorporated and in good standing in the State of California, and that the undersigned is authorized to act for and bind the corporation.
XX. PROVISIONS REQUIRED BY LAW
Each and every provision of law and clause required by law to be inserted in this AGREEMENT shall be deemed to be inserted herein and the AGREEMENT shall be read and enforced as though it were included herein, and if through mistake or otherwise any such provision is not inserted, or is not currently inserted, then upon application of either party the AGREEMENT shall forthwith be physically amended to make such insertion or correction.
XXI. CHANGED CONDITIONS
A. Differing Site Conditions
1. During the progress of the work, if subsurface or latent physical conditions are encountered at the site differing materially from those indicated in the contract or if unknown physical conditions of an unusual nature, differing materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in the work provided for in the contract, are encountered at the site, the party discovering such conditions shall Attachment 2
Council Agenda 8-4-2026 9.E-17
12 of 19
Construction Services Agreement (Rev. 2/2/2018)
promptly notify the other party in writing of the specific differing conditions before the site is disturbed and before the affected work is performed.
2. Upon written notification, the engineer will investigate the conditions, and if it is determined that the conditions materially differ and cause an increase or decrease in the cost or time required for the performance of any work under the contract, an adjustment, excluding anticipated profits, will be made and the contract modified in writing accordingly. The engineer will notify the contractor of the determination whether or not an adjustment of the contract is warranted.
3. No contract adjustment which results in a benefit to the contractor will be allowed unless the contractor has provided the required written notice.
B. Suspensions of Work Ordered by the Engineer
1. If the performance of all or any portion of the work is suspended or delayed by the engineer in writing for an unreasonable period of time (not originally anticipated, customary, or inherent to the construction industry) and the contractor believes that additional compensation and/or contract time is due as a result of such suspension or delay, the contractor shall submit to the engineer in writing a request for adjustment within 7 calendar days of receipt of the notice to resume work. The request shall set forth the reasons and support for such adjustment.
2. Upon receipt, the engineer will evaluate the contractor's request. If the engineer agrees that the cost and/or time required for the performance of the contract has increased as a result of such suspension and the suspension was caused by conditions beyond the control of and not the fault of the contractor, its suppliers, or subcontractors at any approved tier, and not caused by weather, the engineer will make an adjustment (excluding profit) and modify the contract in writing accordingly. The contractor will be notified of the engineer's determination whether or not an adjustment of the contract is warranted.
3. No contract adjustment will be allowed unless the contractor has submitted the request for adjustment within the time prescribed.
4. No contract adjustment will be allowed under this clause to the extent that performance would have been suspended or delayed by any other cause, or for which an adjustment is provided or excluded under any other term or condition of this contract.
C. Significant Changes in the Character of Work
1. The engineer reserves the right to make, in writing, at any time during the work, such changes in quantities and such alterations in the work as are necessary to satisfactorily complete the project. Such changes in quantities and alterations shall not invalidate the contract nor release the surety, and the contractor agrees to perform the work as altered.
2. If the alterations or changes in quantities significantly change the character of the work under the contract, whether such alterations or changes are in themselves significant changes to the character of the work or by affecting other work cause such other work to become significantly different in character, an adjustment, excluding anticipated profit, will be made to the contract. The basis for the adjustment shall be agreed upon prior to the performance of the work. If a basis cannot be agreed upon, then an adjustment will be made either for or against the contractor in such amount as the engineer may determine to be fair and equitable.
3. If the alterations or changes in quantities do not significantly change the character of the work to be performed under the contract, the altered work will be paid for as provided elsewhere in the contract.
4. The term “significant change” shall be construed to apply only to the following circumstances:
Attachment 2
Council Agenda 8-4-2026 9.E-18
13 of 19
Construction Services Agreement (Rev. 2/2/2018)
• When the character of the work as altered differs materially in kind or nature from that involved or included in the original proposed construction; or • When a major item of work, as defined elsewhere in the contract, is increased in excess of 125 percent or decreased below 75 percent of the original contract quantity. Any allowance for an increase in quantity shall apply only to that portion in excess of 125 percent of original contract item quantity, or in case of a decrease below 75 percent, to the actual amount of work performed.
XXII. SUBSURFACE HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
A. Pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 7104, in the event the Project includes trenches or other excavations extend deeper than four (4) feet below the surface, CONTRACTOR shall promptly, and before the following conditions are disturbed, notify CITY in writing of any:
1. Material that CONTRACTOR believes may be material that is hazardous waste, as defined in Section 25117 of the Health and Safety Code, that is required to be removed to a Class I, Class II or Class III disposal site in accordance with the provisions of existing law;
2. Subsurface or latent physical conditions at the site differing from those indicated in the Project specifications;
3. Unknown physical conditions at the site of any unusual nature, different materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in the Project or the character provided for in the CONTRACT.
B. Upon receipt of said notification CITY will investigate the conditions, and if it finds that the conditions do materially so differ, or do involve hazardous waste, and cause a decrease or increase in CONTRACTOR's cost of or the time required for performance of any part of the Project, CITY will issue a change order under the procedures described in the General Conditions.
C. In the event that a dispute arises between CITY and CONTRACTOR whether the conditions materially differ, or involve hazardous waste or cause a decrease or increase in CONTRACTOR's cost of or time required for performance of any part of the Project, CONTRACTOR shall not be excused from any scheduled completion date provided for by the AGREEMENT, but shall proceed with all work to be performed under the AGREEMENT.
CONTRACTOR shall retain any and all rights provided either by AGREEMENT or by law which pertain to the resolution of disputes and protests between the contracting parties.
XXIII. BUY AMERICA
Buy America Requirements apply to iron or steel, manufactured products, and construction materials permanently incorporated into the project.
Buy America requirements do not apply to the following:
1. Tools and construction equipment used in performing the work
2. Temporary work that is not incorporated into the finished project
An article, materials, or supply to be permanently incorporated in the project should only be classified into one of the following categories:
1. Iron or steel products
2. Manufactured products
Attachment 2
Council Agenda 8-4-2026 9.E-19
14 of 19
Construction Services Agreement (Rev. 2/2/2018)
3. Construction materials
4. Excluded materials
Excluded materials means cement and cementitious materials; aggregates such as stone, sand, or gravel; or aggregate binding agents or additives.
Iron or Steel Products
All iron or steel products permanently incorporated into the project must be melted and manufactured in the United States except:
1. Foreign pig iron and processed, pelletized, and reduced iron ore may be used in the domestic production of the steel and iron materials [60 Fed Reg 15478 (03/24/1995)];
2. If the total combined cost of the materials produced outside the United States does not exceed the greater of 0.1 percent of the total contract amount or $2,500, materials produced outside the United States may be used if authorized.
Iron or steel products are defined as articles, materials, or supplies that consist wholly or predominantly of iron or steel or a combination of both.
For a product to be considered to consist predominantly of iron or steel, or a combination of both means the cost of the iron or steel content of the product exceeds 50 percent of the total cost of all its components. The cost of iron or steel is the cost of the iron or steel mill products (such as bar, billet, slab, wire, plate, or sheet), castings, or forgings utilized in the manufacture of the product and a good faith estimate of the cost of iron or steel components.
Furnish iron or steel products to be incorporated into the work with certificates of compliance and certified mill test reports. Mill test reports must indicate where the iron or steel were melted and manufactured. All melting and manufacturing processes for these materials, including an application of a coating, must occur in the United States. Coating includes all processes that protect or enhance the value of the material to which the coating is applied.
Manufactured Products
All manufactured products permanently incorporated into the project must be manufactured in the United States. Manufactured products are defined as articles, materials, or supplies that have been:
1. Processed into a specific form and shape; or
2. Combined with other articles, materials, or supplies to create a product with different properties than the individual articles, materials, or supplies.
Manufacturer, in the case of manufactured products, means the entity that performs the final manufacturing process by bringing individual elements together that produces a manufactured product.
If an item is classified as an iron or steel product, a construction material, or an excluded material, then it is not a manufactured product. However, an article, material, or supply classified as a manufactured product may include components that are iron or steel products, construction materials, or excluded materials.
Iron or steel used in precast concrete manufactured products or Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) must meet the requirements of Iron or Steel Products regardless of the amount used.
Attachment 2
Council Agenda 8-4-2026 9.E-20
15 of 19
Construction Services Agreement (Rev. 2/2/2018)
Iron and steel used in other manufactured products must meet the requirements of section Iron or Steel Products if the cost of steel and iron components is 50 percent or more of the total cost of the manufactured product.
Furnish manufactured products to be permanently incorporated into the work with certificates of compliance with each project delivery. The manufacturer's certificate of compliance must identify where the manufacturing occurred and attest specifically to Buy America compliance.
Construction Materials
Construction materials permanently incorporated into the project must be manufactured as defined in 2 CFR 184.6 in the United States.
Buy America requirements apply to the following construction materials that are or consist primarily of:
1. Non-ferrous metals
2. Plastic and polymer-based products such as:
a. Polyvinylchloride
b. Composite Building Materials
3. Glass
4. Fiber optic cable (including drop cable)
5. Optical fiber
6. Lumber
7. Engineered wood
8. Drywall
Minor additions of articles, materials, supplies, or binding agents to these construction materials do not change the categorization of the construction material.
Furnish construction materials to be incorporated into the work with certificates of compliance with each project delivery. The manufacturer’s certificate of compliance must identify where the construction material was manufactured and attest specifically to Buy America compliance.
Buy America Waiver for De Minimis Cost for Manufactured Products and Construction Materials
A De Minimis Cost Waiver can waive the application of FHWA’s Buy America requirements for manufactured products and construction materials under a single project when the total value of non-compliant manufactured products and construction materials is no more that the lesser of $1,000,000 or 5 percent of the total applicable material costs for the project.
The percent threshold is calculated based on the following formula:
X = NC / TA
where:
X = percent threshold
NC = total value of non-compliant manufactured products and construction material TA = total applicable project costs (iron or steel products, manufactured products, and construction materials; does not include excluded materials)
This threshold is based on the actual cost of the iron or steel products, manufactured products, and construction materials, not the anticipated cost of those materials. Compliant and non- compliant Agency Furnished Materials for the project must be accounted for in a De Minimis Cost Waiver Worksheet calculation, if provided by the Local Agency.
Attachment 2
Council Agenda 8-4-2026 9.E-21
16 of 19
Construction Services Agreement (Rev. 2/2/2018)
Provide copies of invoices for the actual costs of materials including transportation to the project site.
In applying a De Minimum Cost Waiver, total cost of non-compliant construction materials and manufactured products does not include the cost of any products subject to a separate Buy America waiver.
If De Minimis Cost Waiver Worksheet calculation for materials subject to Buy America is not submitted, the CITY may:
1.Withhold from the next progress payment
2.Reject your request for a De Minimis Costs waiver for non-compliant construction materials or manufactured products
XXIV.QUALITY ASSURANCE
The CITY uses a Quality Assurance Program (QAP) to ensure a material is produced to comply with the Contract. The CITY may examine the records and reports of tests the prime contractor performs if they are available at the job site. Schedule work to allow time for QAP.
XXV.FORM FHWA-1273 REQUIRED CONTRACT PROVISIONS FEDERAL-AID CONTRACTS Form FHWA-1273 is included as Exhibit A.
XXVI.FEMALE AND MINORITY GOALS
To comply with Section II, "Nondiscrimination," of "Required Contract Provisions Federal-Aid Construction Contracts," the following are for female and minority utilization goals for Federal -aid construction contracts and subcontracts that exceed $10,000:
The nationwide goal for female utilization is 6.9 percent.

The contracting agency and the FHWA have the authority and the responsibility to ensure compliance with 23 U.S.C. 140, Section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended (29 U.S.C. 794), and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2000d et seq.), and related regulations including 49 CFR Parts 21, 26, and 27; and 23 CFR Parts 200, 230, and 633.
The following provision is adopted from 23 CFR Part 230, Subpart A, Appendix A, with appropriate revisions to conform to the U.S. Department of Labor (US DOL) and FHWA
requirements.
Exhibit A Attachment 2
Council Agenda 8-4-2026 9.E-26
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 Attachment 2
Council Agenda 8-4-2026 9.E-27
3 within a reasonable time. If the investigation indicates that the discrimination may affect persons other than the complainant, such corrective action shall include such other persons. Upon completion of each investigation, the contractor will inform every complainant of all of their avenues of appeal.
6. Training and Promotion:
a. The contractor will assist in locating, qualifying, and increasing the skills of minorities and women who are
applicants for employment or current employees. Such efforts should be aimed at developing full journey level status employees in the type of trade or job classification involved.
b. Consistent with the contractor's work force requirements and as permissible under Federal and State regulations, the contractor shall make full use of training programs (i.e., apprenticeship and on-the-job training programs for the geographical area of contract performance). In the event a special provision for training is provided under this contract, this subparagraph will be superseded as indicated in the special provision. The contracting agency may reserve
training positions for persons who receive welfare assistance in accordance with 23 U.S.C. 140(a).
c. The contractor will advise employees and applicants for employment of available training programs and entrance
requirements for each.
d. The contractor will periodically review the training and promotion potential of employees who are minorities and women and will encourage eligible employees to apply for such training and promotion.
7. Unions: If the contractor relies in whole or in part upon unions as a source of employees, the contractor will use good faith efforts to obtain the cooperation of such unions to increase opportunities for minorities and women. 23 CFR 230.409. Actions by the contractor, either directly or through a contractor's association acting as agent, will include the procedures set forth below:
a. The contractor will use good faith efforts to develop, in cooperation with the unions, joint training programs aimed toward qualifying more minorities and women for membership in the unions and increasing the skills of minorities and women so that they may qualify for higher paying employment.
b. The contractor will use good faith efforts to incorporate an EEO clause into each union agreement to the end that such union will be contractually bound to refer applicants without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, or disability.
c. The contractor is to obtain information as to the referral practices and policies of the labor union except that to the extent such information is within the exclusive possession of the labor union and such labor union refuses to furnish such information to the contractor, the contractor shall so certify to the contracting agency and shall set forth what efforts have been made to obtain such information.
d. In the event the union is unable to provide the contractor with a reasonable flow of referrals within the time limit set forth in the collective bargaining agreement, the contractor will, through independent recruitment efforts, fill the employment vacancies without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, or disability; making full efforts to obtain qualified and/or qualifiable minorities and women. The failure of a union to provide sufficient referrals (even though it is obligated to provide exclusive referrals under the terms of a collective bargaining agreement) does not relieve the contractor from the
requirements of this paragraph. In the event the union referral practice prevents the contractor from meeting the obligations pursuant to Executive Order 11246, as amended, and these special provisions, such contractor shall immediately notify the contracting agency.
8. Reasonable Accommodation for Applicants /
Employees with Disabilities: The contractor must be familiar with the requirements for and comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act and all rules and regulations established thereunder. Employers must provide reasonable
accommodation in all employment activities unless to do so would cause an undue hardship.
9. Selection of Subcontractors, Procurement of Materials and Leasing of Equipment: The contractor shall not
discriminate on the grounds of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, or disability in the selection and retention of subcontractors, including procurement of materials and leases of equipment. The
contractor shall take all necessary and reasonable steps to ensure nondiscrimination in the administration of this contract.
a. The contractor shall notify all potential subcontractors, suppliers, and lessors of their EEO obligations under this contract.
b. The contractor will use good faith efforts to ensure subcontractor compliance with their EEO obligations.
10. Assurances Required:
a. The requirements of 49 CFR Part 26 and the State
DOT’s FHWA-approved Disadvantaged Business Enterprise
(DBE) program are incorporated by reference.
b. The contractor, subrecipient or subcontractor shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the performance of this contract. The contractor shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 CFR part 26 in the award and administration of DOT-assisted contracts. Failure by the contractor to carry out these requirements is a material breach of this contract, which may result in the termination of this contract or such other remedy as the recipient deems
appropriate, which may include, but is not limited to:
(1) Withholding monthly progress payments;
(2) Assessing sanctions;
(3) Liquidated damages; and/or
(4) Disqualifying the contractor from future bidding as non- responsible.
c. The Title VI and nondiscrimination provisions of U.S.
DOT Order 1050.2A at Appendixes A and E are incorporated by reference. 49 CFR Part 21.
11. Records and Reports: The contractor shall keep such records as necessary to document compliance with the EEO requirements. Such records shall be retained for a period of three years following the date of the final payment to the contractor for all contract work and shall be available at reasonable times and places for inspection by authorized representatives of the contracting agency and the FHWA.
a. The records kept by the contractor shall document the following:
Attachment 2
Council Agenda 8-4-2026 9.E-28
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;
Attachment 2
Council Agenda 8-4-2026 9.E-29
5 (ii) The classification is used in the area by the
construction industry; and
(iii) The wage rate for the classification bears a reasonable relationship to the prevailing wage rates contained in the wage determination.
(2) The Administrator will establish wage rates for such classifications in accordance with paragraph 1.c.(1)(iii) of this section. Work performed in such a classification must be paid at no less than the wage and fringe benefit rate listed on the wage determination for such classification.
c. Conformance. (1) The contracting officer must require that any class of laborers or mechanics, including helpers, which is not listed in the wage determination and which is to be employed under the contract be classified in conformance with the wage determination. Conformance of an additional
classification and wage rate and fringe benefits is appropriate only when the following criteria have been met:
(i) The work to be performed by the classification
requested is not performed by a classification in the wage determination; and
(ii) The classification is used in the area by the
construction industry; and
(iii) The proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a reasonable relationship to the wage rates contained in the wage determination.
(2) The conformance process may not be used to split,
subdivide, or otherwise avoid application of classifications listed in the wage determination.
(3) If the contractor and the laborers and mechanics to be employed in the classification (if known), or their
representatives, and the contracting officer agree on the classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits where appropriate), a report of the action taken will be sent by the contracting officer by email to [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 Attachment 2
Council Agenda 8-4-2026 9.E-30
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.
Attachment 2
Council Agenda 8-4-2026 9.E-31
7 (5) Signature. The signature by the contractor,
subcontractor, or the contractor's or subcontractor's agent must be an original handwritten signature or a legally valid electronic signature.
(6) Falsification. The falsification of any of the above certifications may subject the contractor or subcontractor to civil or criminal prosecution under 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 31 U.S.C. 3729.
(7) Length of certified payroll retention. The contractor or subcontractor must preserve all certified payrolls during the course of the work and for a period of 3 years after all the work on the prime contract is completed.
c. Contracts, subcontracts, and related documents. The
contractor or subcontractor must maintain this contract or subcontract and related documents including, without
limitation, bids, proposals, amendments, modifications, and extensions. The contractor or subcontractor must preserve these contracts, subcontracts, and related documents during the course of the work and for a period of 3 years after all the work on the prime contract is completed.
d. Required disclosures and access (1) Required record
disclosures and access to workers. The contractor or
subcontractor must make the records required under
paragraphs 3.a. through 3.c. of this section, and any other documents that the contracting agency, the State DOT, the FHWA, or the Department of Labor deems necessary to
determine compliance with the labor standards provisions of any of the applicable statutes referenced by § 5.1, available for inspection, copying, or transcription by authorized
representatives of the contracting agency, the State DOT, the FHWA, or the Department of Labor, and must permit such
representatives to interview workers during working hours on the job.
(2) Sanctions for non-compliance with records and worker access requirements. If the contractor or subcontractor fails to submit the required records or to make them available, or refuses to permit worker interviews during working hours on the job, the Federal agency may, after written notice to the contractor, sponsor, applicant, owner, or other entity, as the case may be, that maintains such records or that employs such workers, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds. Furthermore, failure to submit the required records upon request or to make such records available, or to permit worker interviews during working hours on the job, may be grounds for debarment action pursuant to § 5.12. In addition, any contractor or other person that fails to submit the required records or make those records available to WHD within the time WHD requests that the records be produced will be
precluded from introducing as evidence in an administrative proceeding under 29 CFR part 6 any of the required records that were not provided or made available to WHD. WHD will take into consideration a reasonable request from the
contractor or person for an extension of the time for
submission of records. WHD will determine the
reasonableness of the request and may consider, among other things, the location of the records and the volume of
production.
(3) Required information disclosures. Contractors and
subcontractors must maintain the full Social Security number and last known address, telephone number, and email address of each covered worker, and must provide them upon request to the contracting agency, the State DOT, the FHWA, the contractor, or the Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor for purposes of an investigation or other compliance action.
4. Apprentices and equal employment opportunity (29 CFR
5.5)
a. Apprentices (1) Rate of pay. Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work they perform when they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a bona fide apprenticeship program registered with the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, Office of Apprenticeship (OA), or with a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the OA. A person who is not individually registered in the program, but who has been certified by the OA or a State Apprenticeship Agency (where appropriate) to be eligible for probationary employment as an apprentice, will be permitted to work at less than the
predetermined rate for the work they perform in the first 90 days of probationary employment as an apprentice in such a program. In the event the OA or a State Apprenticeship
Agency recognized by the OA withdraws approval of an
apprenticeship program, the contractor will no longer be permitted to use apprentices at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved.
(2) Fringe benefits. Apprentices must be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the apprenticeship program. If the apprenticeship program does not specify fringe benefits, apprentices must be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination for the applicable classification. If the Administrator determines that a different practice prevails for the applicable apprentice classification, fringe benefits must be paid in accordance with that
determination.
(3) Apprenticeship ratio. The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeyworkers on the job site in any craft classification must not be greater than the ratio permitted to the contractor as to the entire work force under the registered program or the ratio applicable to the locality of the project pursuant to paragraph
4.a.(4) of this section. Any worker listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who is not registered or otherwise employed as stated in paragraph 4.a.(1) of this section, must be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed.
In addition, any apprentice performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under this section must be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage
determination for the work actually performed.
(4) Reciprocity of ratios and wage rates. Where a contractor is performing construction on a project in a locality other than the locality in which its program is registered, the ratios and wage rates (expressed in percentages of the journeyworker's hourly rate) applicable within the locality in which the construction is being performed must be observed. If there is no applicable ratio or wage rate for the locality of the project, the ratio and wage rate specified in the contractor's registered program must be observed.
b. Equal employment opportunity. The use of apprentices and journeyworkers under this part must be in conformity with Attachment 2
Council Agenda 8-4-2026 9.E-32
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 Attachment 2
Council Agenda 8-4-2026 9.E-33
9 mechanic, including watchpersons and guards, employed in violation of the clause set forth in paragraph 1. of this section, in the sum currently provided in 29 CFR 5.5(b)(2)* for each calendar day on which such individual was required or
permitted to work in excess of the standard workweek of forty hours without payment of the overtime wages required by the clause set forth in paragraph 1. of this section.
* $31 as of January 15, 2023 (See 88 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 contractor 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 OR ASSIGNING THE CONTRACT
This provision is applicable to all Federal-aid construction contracts on the National Highway System pursuant to 23 CFR 635.116.
1. The contractor shall perform with its own organization contract work amounting to not less than 30 percent (or a greater percentage if specified elsewhere in the contract) of the total original contract price, excluding any specialty items designated by the contracting agency. Specialty items may be performed by subcontract and the amount of any such
specialty items performed may be deducted from the total original contract price before computing the amount of work required to be performed by the contractor's own organization (23 CFR 635.116).
a. The term “perform work with its own organization” in paragraph 1 of Section VI refers to workers employed or leased by the prime contractor, and equipment owned or
rented by the prime contractor, with or without operators.
Such term does not include employees or equipment of a
subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor, agents of the prime contractor, or any other assignees. The term may include payments for the costs of hiring leased employees from an employee leasing firm meeting all relevant Federal and State regulatory requirements. Leased employees may only be
included in this term if the prime contractor meets all of the following conditions: (based on longstanding interpretation)
(1) the prime contractor maintains control over the
supervision of the day-to-day activities of the leased
employees;
(2) the prime contractor remains responsible for the quality of the work of the leased employees;
Attachment 2
Council Agenda 8-4-2026 9.E-34
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."
Attachment 2
Council Agenda 8-4-2026 9.E-35
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.
c. The certification in this clause is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when the contracting agency determined to enter into this transaction. If it is later determined that the prospective participant knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies available to the Federal Government, the contracting agency may terminate this transaction for cause of default. 2 CFR 180.325.
d. The prospective first tier participant shall provide immediate written notice to the contracting agency to whom this proposal is submitted if any time the prospective first tier participant learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed
circumstances. 2 CFR 180.345 and 180.350.
e. The terms "covered transaction," "debarred,"
"suspended," "ineligible," "participant," "person," "principal," and "voluntarily excluded," as used in this clause, are defined in 2 CFR Parts 180, Subpart I, 180.900-180.1020, and 1200. “First Tier Covered Transactions” refers to any covered transaction between a recipient or subrecipient of Federal funds and a participant (such as the prime or general contract). “Lower Tier Covered Transactions” refers to any covered transaction under a First Tier Covered Transaction (such as subcontracts). “First Tier Participant” refers to the participant who has entered into a covered transaction with a recipient or subrecipient of Federal funds (such as the prime or general contractor). “Lower Tier Participant” refers any participant who has entered into a covered transaction with a First Tier Participant or other Lower Tier Participants (such as
subcontractors and suppliers).
f. The prospective first tier participant agrees by submitting this proposal that, should the proposed covered transaction be entered into, it shall not knowingly enter into any lower tier covered transaction with a person who is debarred,
suspended, declared ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in this covered transaction, unless authorized by the department or agency entering into this transaction. 2 CFR 180.330.
g. The prospective first tier participant further agrees by submitting this proposal that it will include the clause titled "Certification Regarding Debarment, Suspension, Ineligibility and Voluntary Exclusion-Lower Tier Covered Transactions," provided by the department or contracting agency, entering into this covered transaction, without modification, in all lower tier covered transactions and in all solicitations for lower tier covered transactions exceeding the $25,000 threshold. 2 CFR 180.220 and 180.300.
h. A participant in a covered transaction may rely upon a certification of a prospective participant in a lower tier covered transaction that is not debarred, suspended, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from the covered transaction, unless it knows that the certification is erroneous. 2 CFR 180.300; 180.320, and 180.325. A participant is responsible for ensuring that its principals are not suspended, debarred, or otherwise ineligible to participate in covered transactions. 2 CFR 180.335. To verify the eligibility of its principals, as well as the eligibility of any lower tier prospective participants, each participant may, but is not required to, check the System for Award Management website ( https://www.sam.gov/) . 2 CFR 180.300, 180.320, and 180.325.
i. Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require the establishment of a system of records in order to render in good faith the certification required by this clause.
The knowledge and information of the prospective participant is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings.
j. Except for transactions authorized under paragraph (f) of these instructions, if a participant in a covered transaction knowingly enters into a lower tier covered transaction with a person who is suspended, debarred, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in this transaction, in addition to other remedies available to the Federal Government, the department or agency may terminate this transaction for cause or default. 2 CFR 180.325.

3. Instructions for Certification - Lower Tier Participants:
(Applicable to all subcontracts, purchase orders, and other lower tier transactions requiring prior FHWA approval or estimated to cost $25,000 or more - 2 CFR Parts 180 and 1200). 2 CFR 180.220 and 1200.220.
a. By signing and submitting this proposal, the prospective lower tier participant is providing the certification set out below.
b. The certification in this clause is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when this transaction was entered into. If it is later determined that the prospective lower tier participant knowingly rendered an erroneous
certification, in addition to other remedies available to the Federal Government, the department, or agency with which this transaction originated may pursue available remedies, including suspension and/or debarment.
c. The prospective lower tier participant shall provide immediate written notice to the person to which this proposal is submitted if at any time the prospective lower tier participant learns that its certification was erroneous by reason of changed circumstances. 2 CFR 180.365.
d. The terms "covered transaction," "debarred,"
"suspended," "ineligible," "participant," "person," "principal," and "voluntarily excluded," as used in this clause, are defined in 2 CFR Parts 180, Subpart I, 180.900 – 180.1020, and 1200.
You may contact the person to which this proposal is
submitted for assistance in obtaining a copy of those
regulations. “First Tier Covered Transactions” refers to any covered transaction between a recipient or subrecipient of Federal funds and a participant (such as the prime or general contract). “Lower Tier Covered Transactions” refers to any covered transaction under a First Tier Covered Transaction (such as subcontracts). “First Tier Participant” refers to the participant who has entered into a covered transaction with a recipient or subrecipient of Federal funds (such as the prime or general contractor). “Lower Tier Participant” refers any participant who has entered into a covered transaction with a First Tier Participant or other Lower Tier Participants (such as subcontractors and suppliers).
e. The prospective lower tier participant agrees by
submitting this proposal that, should the proposed covered transaction be entered into, it shall not knowingly enter into any lower tier covered transaction with a person who is debarred, suspended, declared ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in this covered transaction, unless authorized by the department or agency with which this
transaction originated. 2 CFR 1200.220 and 1200.332.
f.

g. A participant in a covered transaction may rely upon a certification of a prospective participant in a lower tier covered transaction that is not debarred, suspended, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from the covered transaction, unless it knows that the certification is erroneous. A participant is responsible for ensuring that its principals are not suspended, debarred, or otherwise ineligible to participate in covered transactions. To verify the eligibility of its principals, as well as the eligibility of any lower tier prospective participants, each participant may, but is not required to, check the System for Award Management website ( https://www.sam.gov/) , which is compiled by the General Services Administration. 2 CFR 180.300, 180.320, 180.330, and 180.335.
h. Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of records in order to render in good faith the certification required by this clause. The knowledge and information of participant is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings.
i. Except for transactions authorized under paragraph e of these instructions, if a participant in a covered transaction knowingly enters into a lower tier covered transaction with a person who is suspended, debarred, ineligible, or voluntarily Attachment 2

XII. USE OF UNITED STATES-FLAG VESSELS:
This provision is applicable to all Federal-aid construction contracts, design-build contracts, subcontracts, lower-tier subcontracts, purchase orders, lease agreements, or any other covered transaction. 46 CFR Part 381.

Lakes) are necessary for materials or equipment acquired for a specific Federal-aid construction project, the bidder, proposer, contractor, subcontractor, or vendor agrees:
1. To utilize privately owned United States-flag commercial vessels to ship at least 50 percent of the gross tonnage (computed separately for dry bulk carriers, dry cargo liners, and tankers) involved, whenever shipping any equipment, material, or commodities pursuant to this contract, to the extent such vessels are available at fair and reasonable rates for United States-flag commercial vessels. 46 CFR 381.7.
2. To furnish within 20 days following the date of loading for shipments originating within the United States or within 30 working days following the date of loading for shipments originating outside the United States, a legible copy of a rated, ‘on-board’ commercial ocean bill-of-lading in English for each shipment of cargo described in paragraph (b)(1) of this section to both the Contracting Officer (through the prime contractor in the case of subcontractor bills-of-lading) and to the Office of Cargo and Commercial Sealift (MAR-620), Maritime
Administration, Washington, DC 20590. (MARAD requires
copies of the ocean carrier's (master) bills of lading, certified onboard, dated, with rates and charges. These bills of lading may contain business sensitive information and therefore may be submitted directly to MARAD by the Ocean Transportation Intermediary on behalf of the contractor). 46 CFR 381.7.

14 ATTACHMENT A - EMPLOYMENT AND MATERIALS
PREFERENCE FOR APPALACHIAN DEVELOPMENT
HIGHWAY SYSTEM OR APPALACHIAN LOCAL ACCESS
ROAD CONTRACTS (23 CFR 633, Subpart B, Appendix B)
This provision is applicable to all Federal-aid projects funded under the Appalachian Regional Development Act of 1965.
1. During the performance of this contract, the contractor undertaking to do work which is, or reasonably may be, done as on-site work, shall give preference to qualified persons who regularly reside in the labor area as designated by the DOL wherein the contract work is situated, or the subregion, or the Appalachian counties of the State wherein the contract work is situated, except:
a. To the extent that qualified persons regularly residing in the area are not available.
b. For the reasonable needs of the contractor to employ supervisory or specially experienced personnel necessary to assure an efficient execution of the contract work.
c. For the obligation of the contractor to offer employment to present or former employees as the result of a lawful collective bargaining contract, provided that the number of nonresident persons employed under this subparagraph (1c) shall not exceed 20 percent of the total number of employees employed by the contractor on the contract work, except as provided in subparagraph (4) below.
2. The contractor shall place a job order with the State Employment Service indicating (a) the classifications of the laborers, mechanics and other employees required to perform the contract work, (b) the number of employees required in each classification, (c) the date on which the participant estimates such employees will be required, and (d) any other pertinent information required by the State Employment
Service to complete the job order form. The job order may be placed with the State Employment Service in writing or by telephone. If during the course of the contract work, the information submitted by the contractor in the original job order is substantially modified, the participant shall promptly notify the State Employment Service.
3. The contractor shall give full consideration to all qualified job applicants referred to him by the State Employment
Service. The contractor is not required to grant employment to any job applicants who, in his opinion, are not qualified to perform the classification of work required.
4. If, within one week following the placing of a job order by the contractor with the State Employment Service, the State Employment Service is unable to refer any qualified job applicants to the contractor, or less than the number
requested, the State Employment Service will forward a
certificate to the contractor indicating the unavailability of applicants. Such certificate shall be made a part of the contractor's permanent project records. Upon receipt of this certificate, the contractor may employ persons who do not normally reside in the labor area to fill positions covered by the certificate, notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph (1c) above.
5. The provisions of 23 CFR 633.207(e) allow the
contracting agency to provide a contractual preference for the use of mineral resource materials native to the Appalachian region.
6. The contractor shall include the provisions of Sections 1 through 4 of this Attachment A in every subcontract for work which is, or reasonably may be, done as on-site work.

Vendor Agreement (Rev. 3/2024)
CITY OF PISMO BEACH
VENDOR AGREEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
This Vendor Agreement for Professional Services (“AGREEMENT”) is made and entered into as of the date the AGREEMENT is fully executed by all parties (the “Effective Date”), by and between the City of Pismo Beach, a municipal corporation (“CITY”), and ENGEO Incorporated (“VENDOR”). In consideration of the mutual covenants and conditions set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:
RECITALS:
CITY wishes to retain the services of an experienced and qualified VENDOR to provide the following services:
Engineering Services During Construction of the Cliff Ave/Ocean Blvd Storm Drain Project VENDOR represents and warrants that it is qualified to perform those services.
AGREEMENT:
I. SERVICES TO BE PERFORMED BY VENDOR
VENDOR will provide the services listed in the Scope of Services attached hereto as Exhibit A.
VENDOR warrants that all work and services set forth in the Scope of Services will be performed in a competent, professional and satisfactory manner. Extra work beyond that described in the Scope of Services is not authorized without the express written approval of CITY. VENDOR shall request and receive written approval prior to performing any extra work. Any work beyond that reflected in the approved Scope of Services shall not be compensated by CITY unless prior written approval was provided under this paragraph. To the extent that Exhibit A is a proposal from VENDOR, such proposal is incorporated only for the description of the Scope of Services and no other terms and conditions from any such proposal shall apply to this AGREEMENT unless specifically agreed to by CITY in writing.
II.TERM
Unless earlier terminated in accordance with Section IV below, or unless the Scope of Services are substantially completed, the AGREEMENT will continue in full force and effect from the Effective Date through December 31, 2027. Upon mutual written agreement, the term of this AGREEMENT can be extended annually under the same terms for an additional one (1) year period, or longer as the parties agree in writing.
III.COMPENSATION
A.VENDOR’s Fee
For services rendered pursuant to this AGREEMENT, VENDOR will be paid in accordance with the Compensation Schedule attached hereto as Exhibit B. However, in no event will the total amount of money paid VENDOR, for services initially contemplated by this AGREEMENT and associated expenses, exceed the sum of three hundred fifty thousand dollars ($350,000), unless otherwise first approved in writing by CITY. Should this AGREEMENT be extended pursuant to Section II, VENDOR’s fee may be adjusted upon the written agreement of the parties, in the form of an amendment to this AGREEMENT.
IV. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT
A. CITY may at any time, for any reason, with or without cause, suspend or terminate this AGREEMENT, or any portion hereof, by serving upon VENDOR at least ten (10) days' prior written notice. Upon receipt of said notice, VENDOR shall immediately cease all work under this AGREEMENT, unless the notice provides otherwise. If CITY suspends or terminates a portion of this AGREEMENT, such suspension or termination shall not make void or invalidate the remainder of this AGREEMENT.
B. In the event this AGREEMENT is terminated pursuant to this Section, CITY shall pay to VENDOR the actual value of the work performed up to the time of termination, provided that the work performed is of value to CITY. Upon termination of the AGREEMENT pursuant to this Section, VENDOR will submit an invoice to CITY pursuant to Section III.
V.FORCE MAJEURE
If any party fails to perform its obligations because of strikes, lockouts, labor disputes, embargoes, "acts of God," inability to obtain labor or materials or reasonable substitutes for labor or materials, governmental restrictions, governmental regulations, governmental control, judicial orders, enemy or hostile governmental action, civil commotion, fire or other casualty, or other causes beyond the reasonable control of the party obligated to perform, then that party’s performance shall be excused for a period equal to the period of such cause for failure to perform.
VI. RETENTION OF FUNDS
VENDOR authorizes CITY to deduct from any amount payable to VENDOR (whether or not arising out of this AGREEMENT) any amounts the payment of which may be in dispute or that are necessary to compensate CITY for any losses, costs, liabilities, or damages suffered by CITY, and all amounts for which CITY may be liable to third parties, by reason of VENDOR’s acts or omissions in performing or failing to perform VENDOR’s obligations under this AGREEMENT. In the event that any claim is made by a third party, the amount or validity of which is disputed by VENDOR, or any indebtedness exists that appears to be the basis for a claim of lien, CITY may withhold from any payment due, without liability for interest because of the withholding, an amount sufficient to cover the claim. The failure of CITY to exercise the right to deduct or to withhold will not, however, affect the obligations of VENDOR to insure, indemnify, and protect CITY as elsewhere provided in this AGREEMENT.
VII.CITY REPRESENTATIVE
The Capital Projects Manager is designated as the “City Representative,” authorized to act in its behalf with respect to the work and services specified in this AGREEMENT and to make all decisions in connection with this AGREEMENT. Whenever approval, directions, or other actions are required by CITY under this AGREEMENT, those actions will be taken by CITY Representative, unless otherwise Attachment 3
Council Agenda 8-4-2026 9.E-71
3 of 12
Vendor Agreement (Rev. 3/2024)
stated. CITY’s City Manager has the right to designate another CITY Representative at any time, by providing notice to VENDOR.
VIII. VENDOR REPRESENTATIVE(S)
The person(s) employed by VENDOR whose name(s) are set forth immediately following the signatures of the parties executing this AGREEMENT are designated as being the representative(s) of VENDOR authorized to act on its behalf with respect to the work specified in this AGREEMENT and make all decisions in connection with this AGREEMENT.
IX. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
VENDOR is, and at all times will remain as to CITY, a wholly independent contractor. Neither CITY nor any of its elected officials, officers, employees or agents will have control over the conduct of VENDOR or any of VENDOR’s employees, except as otherwise set forth in this AGREEMENT and then only as to the results to be accomplished and not the method by which VENDOR provides the Scope of Services. VENDOR may not, at any time or in any manner, represent that it or any of its agents or employees are in any manner agents or employees of CITY.
X.BUSINESS LICENSE
VENDOR must obtain a CITY business license prior to the start of work under this AGREEMENT, unless VENDOR is qualified for an exemption.
XI. OTHER LICENSES AND PERMITS
VENDOR warrants that it has all professional, contracting and other permits and licenses required to undertake the work contemplated by this AGREEMENT.
XII. VENDOR’S ACCOUNTING RECORDS; OTHER PROJECT RECORDS A. VENDOR shall maintain complete and accurate records with respect to sales, costs, expenses, receipts, and other such information required by CITY that relate to the performance of services under this AGREEMENT. VENDOR shall maintain adequate records of services provided in sufficient detail to permit an evaluation of services.
B. All such records shall be maintained in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and shall be clearly identified and readily accessible. VENDOR shall provide free access to the representatives of CITY or its designees at reasonable times to such books and records; shall give CITY the right to examine and audit said books and records; shall permit CITY to make transcripts or copies therefrom as necessary; and shall allow inspection of all work, data, documents, proceedings, and activities related to this AGREEMENT. Such records, together with supporting documents, shall be maintained for a period of three (3) years after receipt of final payment. Upon completion of, or in the event of termination or suspension of this AGREEMENT, all original documents, designs, drawings, maps, models, computer files, surveys, notes, and other documents prepared in the course of providing the services to be performed pursuant to this AGREEMENT shall become the sole property of CITY and may be used, reused, or otherwise disposed of by CITY without the permission of VENDOR. With respect to computer files, VENDOR shall make available to CITY, at VENDOR's office and upon reasonable written request by CITY, the necessary computer software and hardware for purposes of accessing, compiling, transferring, copying and/or printing computer files. VENDOR hereby grants to CITY all right, title, and interest, including XIII.INDEMNIFICATION
A. Non-design, non-construction Professional Services:
Attachment 3
Council Agenda 8-4-2026 9.E-72
5 of 12
Vendor Agreement (Rev. 3/2024)
injuries, losses, and expenses including costs, attorney fees, expert consultant and expert witness fees arising out of, pertaining to or relating to, the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of VENDOR, except to the extent caused by the sole negligence, active negligence or willful misconduct of CITY. Negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of any subcontractor employed by VENDOR shall be conclusively deemed to be the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of VENDOR unless adequately corrected by VENDOR. In the event CITY Indemnitees are made a party to any action, lawsuit, or other adversarial proceeding arising from VENDOR’s performance of this AGREEMENT, VENDOR shall provide a defense to CITY Indemnitees or at CITY’s option, reimburse CITY Indemnitees their costs of defense, including reasonable legal fees, incurred in defense of such claims. In no event shall the cost to defend charged to VENDOR under this paragraph exceed VENDOR’s proportionate percentage of fault. However, notwithstanding the previous sentence, in the event one or more defendants is unable to pay its share of defense costs due to bankruptcy or dissolution of the business, VENDOR shall meet and confer with other parties regarding unpaid defense costs.
D. Payment by CITY is not a condition precedent to enforcement of the indemnities in paragraph A, B, or C. In the event of any dispute between VENDOR and CITY, as to whether liability arises from the active negligence, sole negligence or willful misconduct of CITY or its officers, employees, or agents, VENDOR will be obligated to pay for CITY’s defense until such time as a final judgment has been entered adjudicating CITY as having been actively negligent, solely negligent or as having engaged in willful misconduct. Except as otherwise required by Civil Code Section 2782.8, VENDOR will not be entitled in the absence of such a determination to any reimbursement of defense costs including but not limited to attorney’s fees, expert fees and costs of litigation. The provisions of this Section 13 shall survive completion of VENDOR’s services or the termination of this AGREEMENT.
XIV. NON-LIABILITY OF CITY OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES
No elected official, officer, employee, or agent of CITY will be personally liable to VENDOR, in the event of any default or breach by CITY or for any amount that may become due to VENDOR.
XV. INSURANCE
A. Without limiting VENDOR’s indemnification of CITY, and prior to commencement of the Scope of Services, VENDOR shall obtain, provide and maintain at its own expense during the term of this AGREEMENT, policies of insurance of the type and amounts described below and in a form that is satisfactory to CITY.
1. General liability insurance. VENDOR shall maintain commercial general liability insurance with coverage at least as broad as Insurance Services Office (ISO) form CG 00 01, in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence, $2,000,000 general aggregate, for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage. The policy must include contractual liability that has not been amended. Any endorsement restricting standard ISO “insured contract” language will not be accepted.
2. Automobile liability insurance. If VENDOR owns vehicles used in performing the Scope of Services in any manner, VENDOR shall maintain automobile insurance at least as broad as Insurance Services Office (ISO) form CA 00 01 covering bodily injury and property damage for all activities of VENDOR arising out of or in connection with any work to be performed under this AGREEMENT, including coverage for any owned, Attachment 3
Council Agenda 8-4-2026 9.E-73
7 of 12
Vendor Agreement (Rev. 3/2024)
assigned policyholders’ Rating of A- (or higher) and Financial Size Category Class VII (or larger) in accordance with the latest edition of Best’s Key Rating Guide, unless otherwise approved by CITY’s Risk Manager.
6. Waiver of subrogation. All insurance coverage maintained or procured pursuant to this AGREEMENT shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against CITY, its elected or appointed officials, agents, officers, employees, and volunteers or shall specifically allow VENDOR or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. VENDOR hereby waives its own right of recovery against CITY, and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subconsultants.
7. Enforcement of contract provisions (non-estoppel). VENDOR acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of CITY to inform VENDOR of non- compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on CITY nor does it waive any rights hereunder.
8. Requirements not limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance.
Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type. If VENDOR maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, CITY requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by VENDOR. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to CITY.
9. Notice of cancellation. VENDOR agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide to CITY with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for which a ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each required coverage. In the event VENDOR’s policy of insurance cannot be endorsed to provide this notice of cancellation, VENDOR shall provide CITY notice of such cancellation, in writing, not later than 24 hours following the effective time of such cancellation.
10. Additional insured status. General liability policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that CITY and its officers, officials, employees, and agents shall be additional insureds under such policies. This provision shall also apply to any excess/umbrella liability policies. Each such insurance policy shall contain language substantially similar to the following clause:
"The City of Pismo Beach, its elected and appointed officials, officers, employees, and agents are named as additional insureds as respects operations of the named insured performed under contract with the City of Pismo Beach." CITY need not be named as an additional insured on professional liability insurance policies.
11. Prohibition of undisclosed coverage limitations. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to CITY and approved of in writing by CITY’s Risk Manager or City Attorney.
XVI. SUBCONTRACTORS
Before VENDOR retains or hires a subcontractor to provide any work, labor, or services relative to this AGREEMENT, VENDOR must:
A. Present the name and identifying information of the subcontractor that will provide any work, labor, or services to CITY;
B. Present to CITY the form of subcontract that will be used with the subcontractor for CITY’s approval, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld. Such subcontract agreement must include an indemnity agreement that is generally in accord with the indemnity obligations contained in paragraph XII of this AGREEMENT and must specifically name CITY as an indemnified party; and
C. Secure from the subcontractor evidence of insurance coverage that meets with this AGREEMENT including naming CITY as an additional insured as required by this AGREEMENT, unless such requirement is waived in writing by CITY's Risk Manager as provided in paragraph XXV below.

Charges not paid within 30 days of invoice date will accrue a late charge at a rate of 1.5 percent per month. In the event it becomes necessary to commence suit to collect amount due, Client agrees to pay attorney's fees and costs, as the court may deem reasonable until amount is paid. Fees will be applicable for one year from the effective date above; thereafter, fees will be adjusted annually. Our fees will be billed using an invoice format produced by a standardized accounting software package. A more customized itemization of charges and backup data will be provided upon Client’s requests, but at additional fees. Final reports may be withheld until outstanding invoices are paid in full.
Many risks potentially affect ENGEO by virtue of entering into this agreement to perform services on behalf of Client. A principal risk is the potential for human error by ENGEO. For Client to obtain the benefit of a fee that includes a nominal allowance for dealing with our liability, Client agree to limit ENGEO’s liability to Client and all other parties for claims arising out of our performance of the services described in the agreement. The aggregate liability will not exceed $50,000 (or ENGEO’s fee, whichever is greater, but not more than $1,000,000) for professional acts, errors, or omissions, including attorney’s fees and costs that may be awarded to the prevailing party and client agrees to indemnify and hold harmless ENGEO from and against all liabilities in excess of the monetary limit established above.

SAMPLE STORAGE
x *Rush turnaround times are calculated based on the average minimum time required to complete the test and remain compliant with the applicable test standard.
x *Rush turnaround time prioritizes rush testing over other requested testing and dedicates a technician to complete the rush testing as quickly as possible. Rush turnaround times are estimates only and do not guarantee test completion within the estimated rush testing timeframe.
x *Test turnaround time is the amount of time required to perform the test once started. Test start times are dependent on available labor and equipment. Please contact Lab Services at [email protected] to determine equipment capacity and availability. Turnaround times are estimates only and do not guarantee test completion within the estimated testing timeframe. x *The testing fees and test durations listed reflect the standard business hours required to perform the test. Samples requiring premium handling will incur additional hourly personnel charges in accordance with the Laboratory Technician Rate presented on our Fee Schedule. x *For HMA testing, only rush pricing is provided because all HMA testing is expedited on a rush basis. When HMA testing is requested, all other testing is secondary due to the timeliness needed for the HMA results. x Add three days to the estimated test duration for soil testing that requires remolded specimens. x The above fees are reviewed annually and are subject to change. Additional tests are available upon request. x Prices exclude field collection and transportation to the laboratory. x Supplemental fees for laboratory preparation of specimens are charged on an hourly basis. x Where tests are to be run on an immediate need basis (tests to be initiated out of order received and regardless of status of other previously received samples), the expediting fee is 100% of the listed unit rate. x There is a 3:00 pm cut-off time for sample delivery/test start time. x Turnaround times are based on samples delivered to the laboratory before 3:00 pm. Turnaround time on samples received after 3:00 pm will begin at 7:00 am the following business day.
x Concrete/masonry compression breaks requested prior to the scheduled break date and/or prior to 7:00 am will be considered rush testing requests and billed a rush fee.
x Witness testing will be billed at $150.00/hour per individual witness. x There is a 100% increase in fees per test for testing contaminated samples. x Disposal charges for contaminated samples will be billed to the project on a time-and-expense basis. x All project required weekend work is billed directly to the project with a 2-hour minimum charge. x Samples requiring premium handling, such as searching for testable portions (Shelby, D&M tubes, etc.), will be billed on a time-and-expense basis to the project.
