31 Construction Contract/Coffman Specialties, Inc./Project CC26-043 EXHIBIT “C”
In accordance with federal financial assistance agreements with the U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT), the Southern California Logistics Airport Authority (SCLAA) has adopted a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program, in conformance with Title 49 CFR Part 26, “Participation by Disadvantaged Business Enterprises in Department of Transportation Financial Assistance Programs.”
 This DOT -assisted project is subject to these stipulated regulations and the SCLAA’s D BE program, which are hereby incorporated in their entirety by this reference Contractor must complete and submit all required DBE documentation to effectively capture all DBE utilization on the SCLAA’s DOT-assisted contracts whether achieved race neutrally or race consciously. No changes to Contractor’s DBE Commitment shall be made until proper protocols for review and approval of the SCLAA are rendered in writing.

I. Contractor’s Required Clauses
Contractor shall ensure that the following clauses are placed verbatim in every Subcontract agreement, broker, dealer, vendor, supplier or Purchase Order (PO) or other source agreements issued to both DBE and non-DBE firms. This clause applies to both DBE and non-DBE subcontractors:

A. Non-Discrimination Clause
The Contractor 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 SCLAA 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.

B. Prompt Payment Clause
The Prime Contractor agrees to pay each subcontractor under this prime contract for satisfactory performance of its contract no later than seven (7) days from the receipt of each payment the Contractor receives from the SCLAA. The Contractor DBE CONTRACT PROVISIONS :
32 Construction Contract/Coffman Specialties, Inc./Project CC26-043 agrees further to return retainage payments to each subcontractor within seven (7) days after the subcontractor’s work is satisfactorily completed. Any delay or postponement of payment from the above referenced time frame may occur only for good cause following written approval of the SCLAA. This clause applies to both DBE and non-DBE subcontractors.

C. A ny violation of the Prompt Payment Clause provision listed above shall subject the violating contractor to the penalties, sanctions, and other remedies specified in Section 7108.5 of the California Business and Professions Code. This requirement shall not be construed to limit or impair any contractual, administrative or judicial remedies otherwise available to the Contractor or subcontractor in the event of a di
spute involving late payment or nonpayment by the Contractor; deficient subcontractor performance and/or noncompliance by a subcontractor.

Failure to comply with the Prompt Payment Clause provision without prior approval from the SCLAA will constitute noncompliance, which may result in the application of appropriate administrative sanctions, including, but not limited to, a penalty of two percent (2%) of the invoice amount due per month, for every month that full payment is not made.

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

E. The
sanctions authorized under this section shall be separate from, and in addition to, all other remedies, either civil, administrative, or criminal. This provision applies to both DBE and non-DBE contractors and subcontractors.

II. DBE Goal and Contractor DBE Commitment
The SCLAA establishes contract-specific DBE goals to meet any portion of the SCLAA’s Overall DBE Goal that the SCLAA does not project being able to meet using race-neutral means. The SCLAA establishes contract -specific goals only on those DOT-assisted contracts that have subcontracting opportunities.

The SCLAA may establish a DBE contract goal that is higher or lower than its overall goal, depending on such factors as the type of work involved, the location of the work, and the availability of DBEs for the work of the particular contract.

The SCLAA established a 14% DBE contract -specific goal on this project and the Contractor has committed to 12.48% DBE participation. The Contractor is required to demonstrate DBE responsiveness towards meeting the 14% DBE contract -specific goal on this project as well as their DBE commitment.

Contractor agrees to ensure that any DBE subcontractor listed on the “DBE Participation Commitment Form” will perform work and/or supply materials in accordance with original commitments, unless otherwise directed and/or approved by the SCLAA prior to Contractor effectuating any changes to its DBE participation commitment(s). 33 Construction Contract/Coffman Specialties, Inc./Project CC26-043 The Contractor must demonstrate responsiveness to meeting the DBE goal throughout the life of the project. The Contractor's DBE commitment shall be evaluated by dividing the value of DBE commitments (executed subcontracts or purchase orders) by the Contractor's total contract value. DBE utilization or DBE attainment will be evaluated by dividing the dollars paid to DBE firms by the Contractor’s current contract value.

The Contractor must notify the SCLAA in a timely manner and in writing, of changes to planned DBE participation or problems anticipated in attaining the DBE goal. In accordance with the SCLAA's DBE Program, the Contractor must include satisfactory evidence good faith efforts were undertaken and must specify additional good faith efforts planned to remedy any shortfall towards meeting the project DBE goal.

If there is a change order to a contract on which there is a DBE contract goal, then that contract goal applies to the total contract value, inclusive of all change orders. This is true regardless of whether the SCLAA or the Contractor initiates the change order.
