Each party agrees to use its best efforts to resolve any audit disputes in a timely manner.

If lOAl is unable to issue a cognizant letter per paragraph E.1. above, OAl may require CONSULTANT to submit a revised independent CA-audited CR and audit report within three (3) months of the effective date of the management letter.

3. If the CONSULTANT fails to comply with the provisions of this paragraph E, or if IOAl is still unable to issue a cognizant approval letter after the revised independent CPA audited ICR is submitted, overhead cost reimbursement will be limited to the accepted ICR that was established upon initial rejection of the ICR and set forth in paragraph E.1. above for all rendered services. In this event, this accepted ICR will become the actual and final ICR for reimbursement purposes under this AGREEMENT.

4. CONSULTANT may submit to LOCAL AGENCY final invoice only when all of the following items have occurred: (1) IOAl accepts or adjusts the original or revised independent CPA audited ICR; (2) all work under this AGREEMENT has been completed to the satisfaction of LOCAL AGENCY; and, (3) IOAl has issued its final ICR review letter. The CONSULTANT MUST SUBMIT ITS FINAL INVOICE TO LOCAL AGENCY no later than sixty (60) calendar days after occurrence of the last of these items.

In the event that there is a good faith dispute over all or any portion of the amount due on a progress payment from CONSULTANT or subconsultant to a subconsultant, CONSULTANT or subconsultant may withhold no more than 150 percent of the disputed amount.

2. The amount of this forfeiture shall be determined by the Labor Commissioner and shall be based on consideration of mistake, inadvertence, or neglect of the CONSULTANT or Subconsultant in failing to pay the correct rate of prevailing wages, or the previous record of the CONSULTANT or Subconsultant in meeting their respective prevailing wage obligations, or the willful failure by the CONSULTANT or Subconsultant to pay the correct rates of prevailing wages.

It is CONSULTANT's responsibility to verify at date of proposal opening that the DBE firm is certified as a DBE by using the California Unified Certification Program (CUCP) database and possesses the most specific available North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes and work code applicable to the type of work the firm will perform on the contract. Additionally, the CONSULTANT is responsible to document the verification record by printing out the CUCP data for each DBE firm.

All DBE participation will count toward the California Department of Transportation's federally mandated statewide overall DBE goal. Credit for materials or supplies CONSULTANT purchases from DBEs counts towards the goal in the following manner:
100 percent counts if the materials or supplies are obtained from a DBE manufacturer. 60 percent counts if the materials or supplies are purchased from a DBE regular dealer.

Only fees, commissions, and charges for assistance in the procurement and delivery of materials or supplies count if obtained from a DBE that is neither a manufacturer nor regular dealer. 49 CFR 26.55 defines "manufacturer" and "regular dealer." This AGREEMENT is subject to 49 CFR 26 entitled "Participation by Disadvantaged Business Enterprises in Department of Transportation Financial Assistance Programs".

faith effort to replace him/her with another DBE subconsultant, if the goal is not otherwise met.

An adequate good faith effort means that the CONSULTANT must show that it took all necessary and reasonable steps to achieve a DBE goal that, by their scope, intensity, and appropriateness to the objective, could reasonably be expected to meet the DBE goal. If CONSULTANT has not met the DBE goal, complete and submit Exhibit 15-H: Proposer/Contractor Good Faith Efforts to document efforts to meet the goal. Refer to 49 CFR 26 for guidance regarding evaluation of good faith efforts to meet the DBE goal.

G. Commercially Useful Function
DBEs must perform a commercially useful function (CUF) under 49 CFR 26.55 when performing work or supplying materials listed on the DBE Commitment form.

H. A DBE does not perform a CUF if its role is limited to that of an extra participant in a transaction, AGREEMENT, or project through which funds are passed in order to obtain the appearance of DBE participation. In determining whether a DBE is such an extra participant, examine similar transactions, particularly those in which DBEs do not participate.

In addition, a former Cal Poly Pomona Railroad Engineering teacher, he has designed hundreds of grade crossings and assisted the City of Vernon with Project Study Reports for Soto Street and 26'h Street.

A Unique Project Manager Who Works with Stakeholders. Juan has served as advisor, mediator and teacher to regional and local agencies as well as railroads on matters related to grade crossing safety and quiet zone development. In addition, he has managed sensitive railroad projects involving multilingual outreach. He has helped agencies negotiate with railroads and railroads negotiate with local agencies.

A Proven "Win-Win" Approach. JMD offers a "win-win" approach and partnership strategy focused on funding to attain stakeholder consensus on proposed crossing improvements that enhance safety for all transportation modes (pedestrians, bicyclists, vehicles and trains) using the crossing. Relying on its credibility as a grade crossing expert, JMD works with key diagnostic stakeholders to customize and streamline railroad permitting requirements and procedures for the project.

Survey Manager. Coast performed an aerial photogrammetric survey and topographic design survey to support the City of Coachella on the Connect Coachella project. Color photography was captured at a scale of 1"=20' with 1-foot intervals for 7 miles to support street and pathway improvements. The survey was horizontally tied to the California State Plane Coordinate System (NAD83) and based on the Riverside County Horizontal Control Network. The survey was vertically tied to the City of Coachella benchmark network. Aerial targets (59) were set to support aerial imagery and resultant mapping. The controls were tied to the primary controls and a digital orthophoto and terrain model were provided. The aerial mapping was utilized as part of the site investigation and identification of obstructions, such as trees, fences, poles, etc. Additionally, Coast prepared a preliminary Right-of-Way base map from available record data and located enough monuments to establish both railway, channel, and street Right-of-Way within the project limits.
