Powell’s Creek Pedestrian Bridge EA-1 of 4 Escrow Agreement

II. In order to assure full and satisfactory performance by the Contractor of its obligations under the contract, the Prince William County is required thereby to retain certain amounts otherwise due the Contractor. The Contractor has, with the approval of the County, elected to have these retained amounts held in escrow by the Bank. This Agreement sets forth the terms of the escrow. The Bank shall not be deemed to party to, bound by, or required to inquire into the terms of, the contract or any other instrument or agreement between the County and the Contractor.

III. The County shall from time to time pursuant to its contract pay to the Bank amounts retained by it under the contract. Except as to amounts actually withdrawn from escrow by the County, the Contractor shall look solely to the Bank for the payment of funds retained under the contract and paid by the County to the Bank.

(d) Should it be considered necessary or advisable by County or the Resident Engineer/Inspector at any time before final acceptance of the entire Work to make an examination of any part of the Work already completed, by removing or tearing out portions of the Work, the Contractor shall on request promptly furnish all necessary facilities, labor and material to expose the Work to be tested to the extent required. If such Work is found to be defective in any respect, due to the fault of the Contractor or his Subcontractors, the Contractor shall defray all the expenses of uncovering the Work, of examination and testing, and of satisfactory reconstruction. If, however, such Work is found to meet the requirements of the Contract, the actual cost of the Contractor’s labor and material necessarily involved in uncovering the Work, the cost of examination and testing, and Contractor’s cost of material and labor necessary for replacement including a markup of fifteen (15%) percent for overhead and profit shall be paid to the Contractor and he shall, in addition, if completion of the Work has been delayed thereby, be granted a suitable extension of time.

expenses in removing and replacing the Work if the Contractor had covered the Work prior to any inspection or test contrary to the instructions of the Engineer, County or Project Inspector. (e) The County has the authority to recommend to the Engineer that the Work be suspended when in his judgment the Contract Documents are not being followed.

Upon completion of review, one print of each shop or working drawing will be returned to the Contractor either marked “No Exceptions Taken” or bearing the reasons for rejection. Rejected drawings shall be corrected and resubmitted (7 prints) as often as necessary until no exceptions are taken by the Engineer. Each resubmission shall be identified by a revision number and date. Shop or working drawings shall be uniform in size and of the same dimensions as the Contract Plans.

SECTION 107 - LEGAL RELATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITY TO THE PUBLIC Section 107.08 - Protecting and Restoring Property and Landscape The section of the Specifications is amended to include the following: The Contractor’s attention in particular is called to the fact that it will be the contractor’s responsibility to protect all trees from damage. No trees shall be allowed within the right-of-way. Trees outside the right-of-way but within the temporary construction easement that do not impact construction operations shall be protected. All trees adjacent to the work but outside the right of way and temporary construction easement shall be protected and not damaged. After flagging limits of clearing and prior to commencing clearing operations, the Contractor will meet with the Engineer to identify selected trees to save within the Temporary Construction Easement. At the time of this meeting, the Contractor must have sufficient stakeout in place to reference the clearing limits to centerline or offset stationing on intervals not exceeding 100 feet. The Contractor shall positively identify “save” trees and review these trees with his clearing crew. The Engineer will be responsible for coordinating with County where saving trees within the Temporary Construction Easements creates a deviation from standards (e.g., elimination of slope rounding or slopes steeper than 2:1). Should the Contractor subsequently damage or destroy “save” trees during construction, the Contractor will be responsible for removing and disposing of these trees at no additional cost. Section 107.12 - Responsibility for Damage Claims Delete in its entirety and replace with the following: The Contractor shall indemnify and save harmless the Prince William County Board of County Supervisors, and its officers, agents, and employees, as well as the county in which the work is performed and their officers, agents, and employees, from suits, actions, or claims brought for or on account of any injuries or damages received or sustained by any person, persons, or property resulting from or arising out of the work performed by the Contractor, or by or in consequence of any neglect in safeguarding the work, through the use of unacceptable materials in the construction or the improvement, or resulting from any act or omission, neglect, or misconduct of the Contractor; or by or on account of any claims or amounts recovered by infringement of any patent, trademark, or copyright. The Contract Administrator may retain as much of the monies due the Contractor under and by virtue of the Contract as the County of Prince William considers necessary to ensure funds are available to pay a settlement or judgment of such suits, actions, or claims. If no monies are due, the Contractor's Surety will be held accountable until all such


claims and actions have been settled and suitable evidence to that effect has been furnished to the County. Any extension of time granted the Contractor, in which to complete the Contract shall not relieve him or his surety of this responsibility. It is not intended by any of the provisions of any part of the Contract to create the public or any member thereof as a third party beneficiary hereunder or to authorize anyone not a party to the Contract to maintain a suit for personal injuries or property damage pursuant to the terms or provisions of the Contract. The Contractor shall comply with all requirements, conditions, and terms of the Contract, including but not limited to, environmental permits, commitments identified within the Contract, and applicable environmental laws. The Contractor shall not cause damage, except as allowed under the terms of the contract, or as allowed under applicable permits or laws, to the Commonwealth’s air, water, or other natural resources, or cause damage to adjacent or off-site property.

If the Contractor fails to make such repair, replacement, or restoration within the established time frame, the County Engineer will have the damage or injury repaired, replaced, or restored and will deduct the cost of such repair, replacement, or restoration from monies due the Contractor. If the Contract Administrator (Transportation Department Director) determines by its own investigation that injury or damage has occurred as a result of work performed or neglected by the Contractor, the Contract Administrator (Transportation Department Director) may suspend the Contractor from future bidding or initiate debarment in a manner consistent with state law, and Contract Administrator (Transportation Department Director) regulations and policies. Injury is defined as harm or impairment to persons or natural resources. Damage is defined as the loss or harm resulting from injury to person or property. In addition, the Contract Administrator (Transportation Department Director) may recover either (i) the loss or damage that the Contract Administrator (Transportation Department Director) suffers as a result of such act, omission or other action or (ii) any liquidated damages established in such contract plus (iii) reasonable attorney’s fees, expert witness fees, staff salaries, and equipment charges associated with any investigation. Upon a finding against the Contractor by the Contract Administrator (Transportation Department Director), the Contractor is responsible for and shall reimburse the Prince William County for all expenses associated with the injury or damage. Expenses include, but are not limited to: investigating the act, omission or other action, financial penalties incurred by the Contract Administrator (Transportation Department Director) as a result of the injury or damage, salary and expenses incurred by employees or consultants of Prince William County, road user expenses as determined by the Contract Administrator (Transportation Department Director) due


to damage or loss of use of the project area, attorney fees, and expert witness fees. The Contract Administrator (Transportation Department Director) may deduct the reimbursement of expenses from any payments owed to the Contractor. Upon determination by the Contract Administrator (Transportation Department Director) of egregious or repetitious acts, omissions or other actions related to injury or damage to person or property, the Contractor shall be responsible for and shall reimburse the Contract Administrator (Transportation Department Director) for all expenses associated with the investigation as described in this provision herein, and the Contract Administrator (Transportation Department Director) will impose other appropriate actions, as permitted by law, policy and Specifications, such as but not limited to, suspension of work, removal from the bidders’ list, or debarment.

Furthermore in connection with the indemnification assumed by the Contractor by virtue of this Section, and 107.19 but by no means to be construed as a limitation or release of his responsibility for such indemnification, the Contractor shall provide the following types and minimum amounts of insurance coverage for this project: In compliance with Section 103.06, satisfactory evidence, in triplicate, of all required insurance coverage, including special endorsements, shall be forwarded to the County for approval within five (5) Calendar Days after the date of written notice of Award of Contract. All insurance coverage must be approved by the County before the Contract will be executed by the County. The County’s approval of insurance furnished by the Contractor, or its failure to disapprove such insurance, shall not relieve the Contractor of full responsibility for liability, damages and accidents as set forth elsewhere herein. All policies required above shall include an endorsement requiring thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Owner and the Engineer before any changes or cancellations are made effective. No separate payment will be made for the cost of the insurance herein specified, but the Contractor shall include the cost of such insurance in the unit price under mobilization bid item in its Schedule of Unit Prices. Section 107.16 - Environmental Stipulations Add the following to 107.16 (b) 3. “The Contractor shall conform to the requirements of the Prince William County Noise Ordinance.”

Add new item c) paragraph to end of this Section 108.03 as follows: c) The Contractor must provide monthly Construction Schedule/Progress Report for the duration of the project. The Contractor will only be paid for this service on monthly basis after the County has reviewed and approved the monthly Construction Schedule/Progress Report. Contractor shall refer to the County Contract Special Provisions regarding Construction Schedule. Section 108.04– Determination and Extension of Contract Time Add the following new paragraphs to this section: With a fixed date contract when the date of contract execution is not within 75 calendar days after the opening of bids, or when the Contractor is unable to commence work because of any failure of the Department, the Contractor will be given an extension of time based on the number of days delayed beyond the 75 calendar days. No time extension will be allowed for a delay in the date of contract execution when the delay is the fault of the Contractor. The Contractor must demonstrate to the Engineer’s satisfaction through an analysis of the Contractor's initial and current accepted Progress Schedule, that due to some cause beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor, that the Critical Path of work or some part thereof, will be extended beyond the Contract Time(s) or Contract Milestone(s), prior to the Department authorizing any extension in the Contract Time(s) or Contract Milestone(s). When delays occur due to reasonable causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor, including but not restricted to “Acts of God”, to war, whether or not declared, civil war, insurrection, rebellion or revolution, or to any act or condition incident to any of the foregoing, acts of the Government, acts of the State or any political subdivision


thereof, the Contract Time shall be extended, if the Contractor has adequately demonstrated the impact of the event or cause to the satisfaction of the Engineer as described above in this Subsection. The amount of the extension in Contract Time(s) or Contract Milestone(s) shall be as determined by the Engineer, and if granted, shall be the Contractor's sole and exclusive remedy for any delay resulting from any of the causes listed in this Subsection. Unless otherwise indicated in the Contract Special Provisions, an “Act of God” as used in this Subsection is construed to mean an earthquake, flood, cyclone, or other cataclysmic phenomenon of nature beyond the power of the Contractor to foresee or make preparation in defense of. A rain, windstorm, or other natural phenomenon of normal intensity, based on United States Weather Bureau reports, for the particular locality and for the particular season of the year in which the work is being prosecuted, shall not be construed as an “Act of God” and no extension in Contract Time(s) or Contract Milestone(s) will be granted for the delays resulting therefrom. Within the scope of acts of the Government, consideration will be given to properly documented evidence that the Contractor has been delayed in obtaining any material or class of labor because of any assignment or preference ratings by the Federal Government or its agencies to defense or other Contracts. No extension in Contract Time(s) or Contract Milestone(s) will be granted for any delay or any suspension of the work due to the fault of the Contractor, nor if a request for an extension of time on account of delay due to any of the aforesaid causes is not filed within ten (10) days of the date of the commencement of the delay nor if the request is based on any claim that the Contract Time(s) or Contract Milestone.

The Contractor shall complete the work within the Contract Time(s) and achieve the Contract Milestone(s) specified in the work schedule. If the Contractor fails to complete the work required to achieve a Contract milestone or complete the work within the Contract time for completion of the work, as specified in the Contract Documents, or as adjusted by Change Order, the Contractor shall pay to the County not as penalty, but as Liquidated Damages the amounts as set forth in the Contract for each calendar day of delay as set out in the Contract.


The assessments against the Contractor for liquidated damages may be cumulative and additive to each other. In the event that the work has been physically completed, but there remains to be submitted to the County by the Contractor any reports or other documents in accordance with the requirements of the Contract, the work shall not be considered satisfactorily completed until the receipt of such reports, instruments of record and/or any other documents by the Engineer. Section 108.09 - Acceptance Add following new subparagraph (d) to Section 108.09 entitled Correction Period and Warranty Period. 1. If within one year after date of Final Completion of the Work, or such longer period of time as may be prescribed by laws or regulations or by the terms of any applicable special guarantee required by the contract documents or by any specific provision of the contract documents, any work found to be defective, or if the repair of any damages to the land or areas made or areas made available for Contractor’s use by County or permitted by laws and regulations is found to be defective, the Contractor shall promptly, without cost to County and in accordance with County’s written instructions:

• repair such defective land or areas, or • correct such defective work or, if the defective work has been rejected by County, remove

it from the project and replace it with work that is not defective, and • Satisfactorily correct or repair or remove and replace any damage to other work, to the

work of others or other land or areas resulting therefrom.

Section 108.10 - Termination of Contractor’s Responsibilities Add new first paragraph as follows: Termination for Default and Termination for Convenience of County shall be also be governed by provisions included in the Contract (sample contract is included in the Bidding Documents).

SECTION 109 - MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT Section 109.05 - Extra and Force Account Work (Change Orders and Change Order Directives) Add new sentence at the beginning of the first paragraph as follows: Where the term “Work Order” is referred it shall also mean “Change Order”. Add the following new subparagraph 109.05 (c) as follows: (C) Change Order Directives When the County executes a Change Order, the Contractor explicitly agrees that the total amount of the Change Order includes all amounts necessary to pay for and cover any and all Contractor overhead, administrative fees, profit, labor and equipment charges, and any delay claims or other charges associated with the extension of time for Contract completion granted by the Change Order. A Construction Change Directive is a written order prepared by the Engineer/County and signed by the County and Engineer, directing a change in the Work prior to agreement or adjustment, if any, in the Contract Sum or Contract Time, or both. A Construction Change Directive shall be used in the absence of total agreement on the terms of a Change Order. Without invalidating the Contract and without notice to any Surety, the County may, at any time or from time to time, order additions, deletions, or revisions in the work by a written Change Order, or a Work Change Directive. Upon receipt of any such document, Contractor shall promptly proceed with the work involved which will be performed under the applicable conditions of the contract documents (except as otherwise specifically provided). Upon receipt of a Construction Change Directive, the Contractor shall promptly proceed with the change in the Work involved and advise the Engineer of the Contractor's agreement or disagreement with the method, if any, provided in the Construction Change Directive for determining the proposed adjustment in the Contract Sum or Contract Time.


If the Construction Change Directive provides for an adjustment to the Contract Sum, the adjustment shall be based on but, not limited to the following methods:

1 mutual acceptance of a lump sum properly itemized and supported by sufficient substantiating data to permit evaluation;

2 unit prices stated in the Contract Documents or subsequently agreed upon; 3 cost to be determined in a manner agreed upon by the parties and a mutually

acceptable fixed. If the Contractor does not respond promptly or disagrees with the method for adjustment in the Contract Sum/Contract Unit Prices, the method and the adjustment shall be determined by the County on the basis of reasonable expenditures and savings of those performing the Work attributable to the change, including, in case of an increase in the Contract Sum, a reasonable allowance for overhead and profit. In such case, the Contractor shall keep and furnish, in such form as the County may prescribe, an itemized accounting together with appropriate supporting data. Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, costs for the purposes of this Section shall be limited to the following:

1 costs of labor, including social security, and unemployment insurance, fringe benefits required by agreement or custom, and workers' compensation insurance;

2 costs of materials, supplies and equipment, including cost of transportation, whether incorporated or consumed;

3 rental costs of machinery and equipment, exclusive of hand tools, whether rented from the Contractor or others;

4 costs of premiums for all bonds and insurance, permit fees, and sales, use or similar taxes related to the Work; and

5 additional costs of supervision and field office personnel directly attributable to the change.

Pending final determination of the total cost of a Construction Change Directive to the County, amounts not in dispute for such changes in the Work shall be included in Applications for Payment accompanied by a Change Order indicating the parties' agreement with part or all of such costs. For any portion of such cost that remains in dispute, the County will make an interim determination for purposes of monthly certification for payment for those costs as acceptable to the County. That determination of cost shall adjust the Contract Sum on the same basis as a Change Order, subject to the right of either party to disagree and assert a claim. The County reserves the right to request the Contractor submit a Cost Proposal to perform the changes in the Work. The Cost Proposal shall include but, not limited to; a complete breakdown in a form showing all units of labor, materials, project overhead and profit. Such information shall include any/all supporting documentation/invoices for work provided by subcontractors and materials from suppliers. If County and Contractor are unable to agree on entitlement to, or on the amount or extent, if any, of an adjustment in the Contract Price or Contract Times, or both, that should be allowed as a result, a Work Change Directive shall be ordered by the County and a claim may be made therefor as provided herein.


When the County and Contractor agree with the determination concerning the adjustments in the Contract Sum and Contract Time, or otherwise reach agreement upon the adjustments, such agreement shall be effective immediately and shall be recorded by preparation and execution of an appropriate Change Order. After issuance of a Change Order, Contractor shall ensure that the amount of the Performance Bond and Labor and Material Payment Bond coverage have been revised to reflect any increase in the Contract Price due to the Change Order and shall provide the County notice of the same. Section 109.08 - Partial Payments Delete the paragraphs (1) (2) and (3), in this Section in their entirety and replace with the following: Payments are Net 30 calendar days after receipt of satisfactory invoice from the Contractor. Partial payments will be based on a monthly progress estimate consisting of approximate quantities and value of work performed prepared by the Contractor and approved by the Engineer. When the method of measurement for a contact item is in units of each or lump sum, the value of work accomplished for partial payment will be determined from the values assigned to the activities on the cost-loaded CPM Schedule. Partial payments will be made once each month for the work performed in accordance with the Contract requirements except when the net receivable amount is less that $500. In this case, no partial payment will be made and the value of such work will be carried over to the next monthly progress estimate. Partial payments will be made for the work shown on the monthly progress estimate subject to the limitations established herein. If the Engineer determines that the Contractor has been overpaid, the Department will deduct such overpayments from any future payments due the Contractor. The County will deduct an amount equivalent to 5 percent of the monthly progress estimate and will retain such monies until Semi-Final payment of 100% of the Work is completed by the Contractor. Final Payment should be made for Retainage. Section 109.09 – Measurement and Payment Delete the paragraphs in this Section in their entirety and replace with the following: When requested in writing by the Contractor, payment allowances may be made for material secured for use on the project. Such material payments will be for only those actual quantities identified in the contract, approved work orders, or otherwise authorized and documented by the Engineer as required to complete the project and shall be in accordance with the following terms and conditions:


(a) Structural Steel or Reinforcing Steel: An allowance of 100 percent of the cost to the Contractor for structural steel or reinforcing steel materials secured for fabrication not to exceed 60 percent of the contract price may be made when such material is delivered to the fabricator and has been adequately identified for exclusive use on the project. The provisions of this section for steel reinforcement will only apply where the quantity of steel reinforcement is identified as a separate and distinct bid item for payment. An allowance of 100 percent of the cost to the Contractor for superstructure units and reinforcing steel, not to exceed 90 percent of the contract price, may be made when fabrication is complete. Prior to the granting of such allowances, the materials and fabricated units shall have been tested or certified and found acceptable to the Department and shall have been stored in accordance with the requirements specified herein. Allowances will be based on invoices, bills, or the estimated value as approved by the Engineer and will be subject to the retainage requirements of Section 109.08. For the purposes of this section fabrication is defined as any manufacturing process such as bending, forming, welding, cutting or coating with paint or anti-corrosive materials which alters, converts, or changes raw material for its use in the permanent finished work.

(b) Other Materials: For aggregate, pipe, guardrail, signs and sign assemblies, and other

nonperishable material, an allowance of 100 percent of the cost to the Contractor for materials, not to exceed 90 percent of the contract price, may be made when such material is delivered to the project and stockpiled or stored in accordance with the requirements specified herein. Prior to the granting of such allowances, the material shall have been tested and found acceptable to the Department. Allowances will be based on invoices, bills, or the estimated value of the material as approved by the Engineer and will be subject to the retainage provisions of Section 109.08.

(c) Excluded Items: No allowance will be made for fuels, form lumber, falsework,

temporary structures, or other work that will not become an integral part of the finished construction. Additionally, no allowance will be made for perishable material such as cement, seed, plants, or fertilizer.

(d) Storage: Material for which payment allowance is requested shall be stored in an

approved manner in areas where damage is not likely to occur. If any of the stored materials are lost or become damaged, the Contractor shall repair or replace them at no additional cost to the Department. Repair or replacement of such material will not be considered the basis for any extension of contract time. If payment allowance has been made prior to such damage or loss, the amount so allowed or a proportionate part thereof will be deducted from the next progress estimate payment and withheld until satisfactory repairs or replacement has been made. When it is determined to be impractical to store materials within the limits of the project, the Engineer may approve storage on private property or, for structural units and reinforcing steel, on the manufacturer’s or fabricator’s yard. Requests for payment allowance for such stored material shall be accompanied by a release from


the owner or tenant of such property or yard agreeing to permit the removal of the materials from the property without cost to the Commonwealth.

(e) Materials Inventory: If the Contractor requests a payment allowance for properly stored material, he shall submit a certified and itemized inventory statement to the Engineer no earlier than five days and no later than two days prior to the progress estimate date. The statement shall be submitted on forms furnished by the Department and shall be accompanied by supplier’s or manufacturer’s invoices or other documents that will verify the material’s cost. Following the initial submission, the Contractor shall submit to the Engineer a monthly-certified update of the itemized inventory statement within the same time frame. The updated inventory statement shall show additional materials received and stored with invoices or other documents and shall list materials removed from storage since the last certified inventory statement, with appropriate cost data reflecting the change in the inventory. If the Contractor fails to submit the monthly-certified update within the specified time frame, the Engineer will deduct the full amount of the previous statement from the progress estimate.

At the conclusion of the project, the cost of material remaining in storage for which payment allowance has been made will be deducted from the progress estimate.

Section 109.10 - Final Payment Add new subparagraph regarding “semi-final estimate”: After final inspection and final acceptance of the project has been made by the Engineer and VDOT, the Contractor will prepare a semifinal estimate of the quantities of the various classes of work performed. The Semifinal Payment estimate shall include billing for all work performed under the Contract, but shall not include billing for retainage. Upon receipt of payment for the semifinal estimate and prior to submitting the final estimate for retainage only, the Contractor is required to make payment in full to all Subcontractors including all retainage withheld by the Contractor. Along with the final estimate and application/invoice for final payment, the Contractor will be required to furnish the following items to the Engineer: a) An executed Final Release of Liability (on the County’s standard form) including final consent form from the Contractor’s surety, attesting to the fact that all bills, charges and salaries for labor, services, materials and rentals of equipment, arising out of the prosecution of work under this Contract have been fully paid and all other just demands and liens relating to this project fully satisfied, and releasing the County, the Engineer and their representatives from all claims, demands and liability of whatsoever nature from anything done or furnished under this Contract; (b) Sworn statements of any property owner or other parties who may have had any claims against the Contractor, evidencing that all their claims and liens are fully satisfied and the Contractor, the County and the Engineer are released therefrom;


(c) Two sets of as-built drawings and specifications and any other documents, invoices, guarantees, releases or objects which are required by the Contract. After the above items have been forwarded to the Engineer, and the final estimate and certificate for final payment sent to the County with the Engineer's recommendation for acceptance, the Contractor will be paid the total Contract amount less the amounts of all previous partial payments and less any imposed liquidated damages and less any other damages payable by the Contractor under the Contract. Prior partial estimates and payments shall be subject to correction in the semi-final estimate and payment. Final Payment shall be for release of Retainage. The final payment will become due and payable to the Contractor within 60 calendar days after the date when all the above-listed documents and tracings have been received by the Engineer and acknowledged by him in writing. The Contractor will be entitled to interest on the final payment amount for the length of time beyond said 60-day period that the final payment should remain unpaid. The County will not pay additional interest on funds that are deposited in escrow. The rate of interest will be the greater of the rate set forth in the escrow agreement or the base rate on corporate loans (prime rate) at large U.S. money center commercial banks as reported in The Wall Street Journal. When a split rate is published in The Wall Street Journal, the lower of the two rates shall be used. However, in no event shall the rate of interest paid exceed the rate of interest established pursuant to Section 58.1-1812 of the Code of Virginia 1950, as amended, and the rate effective on the 61st day following final acceptance will be applicable throughout the period of time for which interest is paid. The period subject to payment of interest will begin on the 61st calendar day after the above listed documents and tracings have been received by the Engineer and acknowledged by him in writing, and will extend through the calendar day the final estimate is certified for payment by the County. New Section 109.11 - Liens and Lien Release Add a new section 109.11 entitled “Liens and Lien Release” following 109.10: The Contractor shall execute (and shall cause all subcontractors to execute) such documents as requested monthly by the County to evidence the provisions hereof. Such documents (Affidavit To Partial Payment, Waiver of Lien, and Release and Consent of Surety to Final Payment) is included on pages herein or available by request from the County. These documents shall be provided to the County prior to the release of subsequent partial payments, escrow retainage and/or final payment.

cradle fitting the radius of the pipe barrel as shown in the Standard Bedding

Detail. Provide uniform support along the length of the pipe at the required line

and grade. Provide suitable recesses in the bedding to permit adequate

clearance for bells, couplings, or similar projections.

Following installation of the pipe, complete embedment by placing Granular

bedding carefully around and beneath the haunches of the pipe, tamping

thoroughly in four inch layers until the material extends at least six inches above

the top of pipe.

C. Granular Bedding

Install granular bedding when required by the Project Representative. Construct

the foundation of crushed stone of the sizes indicated in Paragraph 2.02 of this

Section. Excavate the trench to four (4) inches or the manufacturer’s

recommendation below the barrel of the pipe, whichever is greater. Place

granular material in the trench for its full width to support the pipe uniformly at

the required line and grade. Provide suitable recesses in the bedding to permit

adequate clearance for bells, couplings, or similar projections. Extend the

bedding initially upward 1/6 of the pipe outside diameter above the base of the

pipe, to form a positive cradle fitting the pipe as shown on the Bedding Detail.

place imported material of comparable quality to complete the backfill in these areas.

In paved areas, use Class I backfill material conforming to Virginia Department of

Transportation requirements as shown on the Contract Documents.

Do not backfill in freezing weather except by permission of the Project Representative

and do not use any frozen material. Make no fill where the material already in the trench

is frozen.

After sufficient compaction and settlement has been obtained, complete the grading of

the trench by smoothing off the trench surface and making it conform to the surface of

the adjacent ground.

3.08. Compaction and Testing

In all areas, thoroughly compact the backfill over the pipe by use of vibratory tamping

pads or, where these cannot be used, by mechanical or hand tamping. Compact backfill

to within the following percentage ranges of maximum density at optimum moisture

content:

Unpaved Areas - Not less than ninety percent (90%).

Paved Areas - Not less than ninety-five percent (95%).

State Highway - VDOT requirements if more stringent than

the above.

Determine the optimum moisture content and the maximum density of each type of

material used for backfill by using Virginia Testing Methods VTM-1 for

Moisture-Density Relations of Soils in accordance with AASHTO T-180).

Determine the field moisture content of materials being compacted by "Laboratory

Determination of Moisture Content of Soil," (ASTM D2216). Determine the field

density of compacted material by "Test for Density of Soil in Place by Sand Cone

Method," (ASTM D1556) or by Nuclear Density testing equipment.

Perform sufficient field density and field moisture content tests on each lift of material

at locations specified by the Project Representative, to assure the Project Representative

that compaction meets the requirements of this Section. Perform a minimum of one test

daily per each one-foot (1-ft) lift of backfill. In cases where greater than 200 feet of

pipe are installed in a day, perform compaction tests every 200 feet per each one-foot

lift of backfill.

Submit reports verifying these test results to the Project Representative. The Project

Representative may order additional compaction and testing if the above tests prove

inadequate compaction is being obtained; complete additional compaction and testing

at the Contractor's sole expense until compaction meets minimum standards.

Representative. Abandoned materials shall become the property of the

Contractor, unless otherwise noted on the plans, upon satisfactory replacement

with the new installation. Abandoned pipe that is not removed shall be cleaned

of debris and plugged at open ends with Class A3 concrete. Abandoned service

lines shall be cut and crimped to prevent water from entering the line.

3.02. Laying Pipe

Handle pipe and appurtenances carefully when moving or lowering into trench.

Abut spigot ends into bell openings so that there shall be no shoulder or

unevenness inside the main. Use suitable tools and appliances and take great

care to prevent damage to any pipe or appurtenance. Embed pipes on a solid

foundation along entire length of barrel, but exercise special precautions to

prevent any pipe from resting on rock. Dig bell holes sufficiently large to insure

making up joints adequately.

Whenever pipe requires cutting to fit in line or to accommodate a fitting or other

appurtenance, make square cuts and bevel edges thereof to eliminate damage to

the gasket. Confine changes in direction at joints to the limits prescribed in

AWWA C600 for the type of joint involved.

3.03. Pipe Cleanliness

While storing, handling, laying and backfilling pipe, Contractor shall take special

care to prevent any foreign materials from entering the pipe, which may cause

potential contamination problems. Pipe with any visible debris will not be

accepted. At the end of workday, pipe ends shall be capped with a Push-On

Joint Plug or Mechanical Joint Cap or Plug, to match pipe joint (Seal shall be

watertight). Prior to joining pipe section and inserting gaskets, pipe joints and

pipe ends shall be cleaned with potable water.

3.04. Joints

Make up all joints in strict conformance with AWWA C600, Section 3.4. When

making up proprietary joints, conform to manufacturers' instructions.

3.05. Valves and Valve Boxes

Install gate and butterfly valves at locations shown on the Plans or at other

locations as the Project Representative may direct. When installing valves at

bends, crosses or tees, use 24" long pipe nipples or plain end by plain end (PE x

PE) reducers. When one reducer will not make the transition satisfactorily, use

one small end bell (SEB) reducer and one PE x PE reducer. Set the valve on

suitable base support, and secure joint restraint devices.

Make sure axis of operating stem is vertical. Use extension pieces, as necessary,

to insure that operating nut is no more than three (3) feet below finished grade.

Install valve box with Barrel continuous from base to cap. Adjust box so cap is

flush with finished grade.

3.06. Setting Fire Hydrants

Install fire hydrants at locations and at such elevations as shown on the Plans or

as Project Representative may direct, with the bury line on the barrel -0.0 foot to

+0.3 foot of specified grade. Set each hydrant on a stabilized bed of Size No. 57

or Size No. 78 stone extending full width of trench from front of boot to end of

trench, and from bottom of trench to a point six (6) inches above drip opening.

Protect hydrant against horizontal movement by restrained joints extending back

to the main.

3.07. Vaults and Other Equipment Enclosures

Conform to details on the Plans. Set all open bottomed enclosures on solid

brick set at the quarter points of the barrel. Set brick in turn on a foundation of

stone vibrated in place to resist settling under the weight of traffic.

Set vaults in a 6-inch bed of stone, hand graded and vibrated to the elevation

required to have the hatch in the vault top at the prescribed elevation, ± 0.05

foot. Take care to see that vault floors slope to cause drainage to the sump [in

the floor], but not more than 1 inch in 14 inches. Provide a sump pump or drain

sump to daylight. Test with water before backfilling. If water stands more than

1 inch deep on the floor at any place, remove the vault and regrade the stone to

correct the deficiency.

3.08. Blocking

In setting pipe, fittings, etc., use such blocking and wedges as may be required

of material and dimensions as may be necessary to support pipe, fittings, etc.,

properly. Support valves as shown on the Plans or as approved by Project

Representative. Do not use blocking for thrust restraint.

3.09. Connections

Coordinate with Project Representative at least two working days prior to

making any connection to existing system and for the concrete pipe connection

see section 3.16. Complete connections in a timely manner in order to minimize

public inconvenience. Contractor to provide a schedule of shutdowns and

connections as part of the submitted Project Schedule at the beginning of the

project.

3.10. Joint Restraint

Restrain all joints created by openings in fittings, valves, and hydrants. In

addition, restrain all pipe joints that occur within any restraint zone shown on

the Plans. If concrete thrust blocks are required, conform exactly to locations,

dimensions, and construction requirements shown on the Plans.

3.11. Polyethylene Pipe Encasement

Conform to the requirements of AWWA C105.

3.12. Defective Work

Replace or repair any defective work revealed at any time through the bonded

maintenance period following completion of the work.

3.13. Field Testing

Test completed sections in conformance with AWWA Standard C600, Section

4. Furnish all equipment and supplies and make all necessary connections for

the tests. Use hydrostatic and leakage test pressures equal to nominal operating

pressure of the pipe plus 100 psi, with a minimum test pressure of 250 psi. Use

the work sheet included at the end of this Section and on the Standard Water

Details sheet to determine test pressure at any location.

Determine leakage allowance by the formulas given in AWWA C600, Section

4.2. In event of failure, correct deficiencies and repeat test until satisfactory

results are obtained. Do tests in the presence of the Project Representative or

his representative.

3.14. Disinfection

Disinfect pipelines in sections not more than 2,000 feet long. Disinfect

according to AWWA C651. Use any of the three methods described in Section

5. At least two consecutive samples, obtained twenty-four (24) hours apart,

from each section disinfected must be certified bacteriologically satisfactory by

Owner’s water testing laboratory before pipe can be placed in service. Take

samples at regular intervals, not exceeding 2,000 feet, throughout the length of

pipeline. Flush the sterilized line immediately after confirmation of acceptable

test results.

Project Representative will arrange with Owner's water laboratory at the H. L.

Mooney WWTP to take samples at the appropriate time. Be present and

provide whatever assistance the technician requires for taking samples.

3.15. Restoration of Disturbed Surfaces

Restore all surfaces disturbed during the work in accordance with the roadway

plans and the contract specifications and special provisions.

3.15. Casing Pipe Installation by Trenchless Technology

The Contractor shall submit to the Engineer a complete plan and schedule for

trenchless casing pipe installation prior to beginning such work. The submission

shall include complete details for dewatering; soil stabilization; jacking and

receiving pits; jacks; reaction block; boring equipment; sheeting, shoring, and

bracing for protecting the roadbed and adjacent areas; installation sequence;

materials; and equipment. The Contractor shall not proceed with pipe

installation until the plan has been reviewed and accepted by the Project

Representative.

3.16. DIP to existing LCP

Connections to Prestressed Concrete Lined Cylinder Pipe ( LCP ) must be

made at existing bell and spigot joints. The pipe cannot be cut in mid-barrel

and a connection made. Refer to section 2.08 for the specified adaptors to

be on site prior to excavation for the connection. The contractor shall expose

the existing LCP pipe joint nearest to the connection point, field verify the

adaptor required for connection per section 2.08. The contractor shall follow

the recommendation of Forterra pressure pipe or approved equal entitled

“Procedure for Removing a Length of Concrete Pressure Pipe” and provided

in Appendix A.

This brochure contains information for connection at new ductile

iron pipe to existing LCP.

Each MJS adapter fitting is supplied with an o-ring rubber gasket for the

LCP joint and a grout band. After the existing LCP joints have been

exposed, the MJS adapter fittings can be installed. Carefully inspect and then

clean the joint rings of all dirt and any other debris. Apply a thin layer of

vegetable soap lubricant to the joint rings and to the o-ring rubber gasket.

Exposed steel on the MJS adapters are painted with a coating complying

with the NSF 61 Standard for contact with potable water.

In order to keep the adapters in place while subsequent pipe installation

continues tack-weld the joints between the adapters and the existing

pipe.

After the adapters have been installed, the exterior joint recesses

between the adapters and the existing LCP must be protected from

corrosion by filling with portland cement grout.

The grout band for LCP consists of a Typar synthetic fabric layer (gray in

color) and a layer of closed cell foam. These layers shall be sewn together

along with a pair of 5/8” wide steel bands at each edge which are used to

secure the band to the pipe exterior. A stretching tool shall be used to

tighten the steel bands. Once the bands are pulled tight, a steel clip shall be

crimped around the band ends to hold them in position. The band must be

carefully placed against the exterior surface of the pipe to insure that it’s

flush with no gaps or gathers. The closed cell foam surface is to be placed

against the pipe exterior. The band must be centered on the joint.

The wet grout shall be applied to flow down to the bottom of the band

and begin to bulge it out. It’s often helpful to place some bedding

material directly under the band at the bottom to support the weight of

the wet grout. Take care to not push excessive amounts of bedding

material under the band such that it’s pushed up into the joint recess

which could impede the flow of wet grout.

If necessary, place the grout in several lifts is helpful. The grout shall

be allowed to take an initial set before subsequent lifts are added.

Mix the grout using one part ASTM C150 Type 1 or Type 2 portland

cement to not more than three parts clean sand with sufficient water to

achieve a pourable consistency. The grout should look and pour like a thick

cream. If it’s too thick, it will not flow around the joint; if it’s too thin, it

may leak out of the band. Carefully pour the mixed grout into the gap at the

top of the band. Use plastic 5 gallon buckets. P r o v i d e a large funnel.

As the pouring proceeds, the workers should inspect the band around the

joint periphery to insure that the grout is flowing all around. Once the band

is full and wet grout is puddling at the gap at the top, apply a stiffer mix (the

consistency of wet brick mortar) over the joint. Insure that all metal joint

components have at least 1” of coverage. Then fold the band flap over the

gap and allow the grout to cure.

The joint grout’s primary function is to provide corrosion protection to the

exposed metal components of the joint. The pipe with restrained joints

shall not be pressurized until the joints have been grouted and the grout

allowed to cure. The wet grout flows down and around the restrained

joint components and act as a variable width shim between the clamp and

the harness bars and serve to transfer axial thrust forces in compression.

Backfilling operations can begin immediately after the band has been

filled. When placing backfill around the filled bands, care must be taken

to avoid damage to or displacement of the band

A certified inspector from Forterra Pressure Pipe or PWCSA approved equal shall

be present at the time of the connection to inspect the connection process and

submit an inspection report stating that the connection has been satisfactory

installed per the recommendations of the adaptor manufacture based on inspection

of all work and that the new pipe is ready for service. The inspection report shall

be signed and dated by Forterra or equal representative on site inspector qualified

to make this certification. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to include the

inspection in his bid form submittal. 3.17. Section Appendices

B. Forms for Slabs: Set edge forms, bulkheads, and intermediate screed strips for slabs to

achieve required elevations and contours in finished surfaces. Provide and secure units

to support screed strips using strike-off templates or compacting-type screeds.

3.7 PREPARING FORM SURFACES

A. General: Coat contact surfaces of forms with approved nonresidual, form-coating

compound compatible with Drinking Water Storage Structures before placing

reinforcement.

B. Do not allow excess form-coating material to accumulate in forms or come into

contact with in-place concrete surfaces against which fresh concrete will be placed.

Apply according to manufacturer's instructions.

1. Coat steel forms with a nonstaining, rust-preventative material. Rust-stained

steel formwork is not acceptable.

3.8 CONCRETE PLACEMENT

A. Inspection: Before placing concrete, inspect and complete formwork installation,

reinforcing steel, and items to be embedded or cast in. Notify other trades to permit

installation of their work.

B. General: Comply with ACI 304, "Guide for Measuring, Mixing, Transporting, and

Placing Concrete," and as specified.

C. Deposit concrete continuously or in layers of such thickness that no new concrete will

be placed on concrete that has hardened sufficiently to cause seams or planes of

weakness. If a section cannot be placed continuously, provide construction joints as

specified. Deposit concrete to avoid segregation at its final location.

D. Placing Concrete in Forms: Deposit concrete in forms in horizontal layers no deeper

than 24 inches and in a manner to avoid inclined construction joints. Where placement

consists of several layers, place each layer while preceding layer is still plastic to avoid

cold joints.

1. Consolidate placed concrete by mechanical vibrating equipment supplemented by

hand-spading, rodding, or tamping. Use equipment and procedures for

consolidation of concrete complying with ACI 309.

2. Do not use vibrators to transport concrete inside forms. Insert and withdraw

vibrators vertically at uniformly spaced locations no farther than the visible

effectiveness of the machine. Place vibrators to rapidly penetrate placed layer

and at least 6 inches into preceding layer. Do not insert vibrators into lower

layers of concrete that have begun to set. At each insertion, limit duration of

vibration to time necessary to consolidate concrete and complete embedment of

03300 - 12

reinforcement and other embedded items without causing mix to segregate.

E. Placing Concrete Slabs: Deposit and consolidate concrete slabs in a continuous

operation, within limits of construction joints, until completing placement of a panel or

section.

1. Consolidate concrete during placement operations so that concrete is thoroughly

worked around reinforcement, other embedded items and into corners.

2. Bring slab surfaces to correct level with a straightedge and strike off. Use bull

floats or darbies to smooth surface free of humps or hollows. Do not disturb

slab surfaces prior to beginning finishing operations.

3. Maintain reinforcing in proper position on chairs during concrete placement.

F. Cold-Weather Placement: Comply with provisions of ACI 306 and as follows. Protect

concrete work from physical damage or reduced strength that could be caused by frost,

freezing actions, or low temperatures.

G. When air temperature has fallen to or is expected to fall below 40 deg F (4 deg C),

uniformly heat water and aggregates before mixing to obtain a concrete mixture

temperature of not less than 50 deg F (10 deg C) and not more than 80 deg F (27 deg

C) at point of placement.

1. Do not use frozen materials or materials containing ice or snow. Do not place

concrete on frozen subgrade or on subgrade containing frozen materials.

2. Do not use calcium chloride, salt, or other materials containing antifreeze

agents or chemical accelerators.

H. Hot-Weather Placement: When hot weather conditions exist that would impair quality

and strength of concrete, place concrete complying with ACI 305 and as specified.

1. Cool ingredients before mixing to maintain concrete temperature at time of

placement to below 90 deg F (32 deg C). Mixing water may be chilled or

chopped ice may be used to control temperature, provided water equivalent of

ice is calculated to total amount of mixing water. Using liquid nitrogen to cool

concrete is Contractor's option.

2. Cover reinforcing steel with water-soaked burlap if it becomes too hot, so that

steel temperature will not exceed the ambient air temperature immediately

before embedding in concrete.

3. Fog spray forms, reinforcing steel, and subgrade just before placing concrete.

Keep subgrade moisture uniform without puddles or dry areas.

4. Use water-reducing retarding admixture when required by high temperatures,

low humidity, or other adverse placing conditions, as acceptable to Engineer.

3.9 FINISHING FORMED SURFACES

03300 - 13

A. Rough-Formed Finish: Provide a rough-formed finish on formed concrete surfaces not

exposed to view in the finished Work or concealed by other construction. This is the

concrete surface having texture imparted by form-facing material used, with tie holes

and defective areas repaired and patched, and fins and other projections exceeding 1/4

inch in height rubbed down or chipped off.

B. Smooth-Formed Finish: Provide a smooth-formed finish on formed concrete surfaces

exposed to view or to be covered with a coating material applied directly to concrete,

or a covering material applied directly to concrete, such as waterproofing,

dampproofing, veneer plaster, painting, or another similar system. This is an as-cast

concrete surface obtained with selected form-facing material, arranged in an orderly

and symmetrical manner with a minimum of seams.

Repair and patch defective areas with fins and other projections completely

removed and smoothed.

C. Related Unformed Surfaces: At tops of walls, horizontal offsets, and similar unformed

surfaces adjacent to formed surfaces, strike-off smooth and finish with a texture

matching adjacent formed surfaces. Continue final surface treatment of formed

surfaces uniformly across adjacent unformed surfaces unless otherwise indicated.

3.10 MONOLITHIC SLAB FINISHES

A. Float Finish: Apply float finish to monolithic slab surfaces to receive trowel finish and

other finishes as specified; slab surfaces to be covered with membrane or elastic

waterproofing, membrane or elastic roofing, where indicated.

1. After screeding, consolidating, and leveling concrete slabs, do not work surface

until ready for floating. Begin floating, using float blades or float shoes only,

when surface water has disappeared, or when concrete has stiffened sufficiently

to permit operation of power-driven floats, or both. Consolidate surface with

power-driven floats or by hand-floating if area is small or inaccessible to power

units. Finish surfaces to tolerances of F(F) 18 (floor flatness) and F(L) 15 (floor

levelness) measured according to ASTM E 1155. Cut down high spots and fill

low spots. Uniformly slope surfaces to drains. Immediately after leveling,

refloat surface to a uniform, smooth, granular texture.

B. Trowel Finish: Apply a trowel finish to monolithic slab surfaces exposed to view and

slab surfaces to be covered with paint, or another thin film-finish coating system.

1. After floating, begin first trowel-finish operation using a power-driven trowel.

Begin final troweling when surface produces a ringing sound as trowel is moved

over surface. Consolidate concrete surface by final hand-troweling operation,

03300 - 14

free of trowel marks, uniform in texture and appearance, and finish surfaces to

tolerances of 1/8-inch in 10 feet for flatness. Grind smooth any surface defects

that would telegraph through applied floor covering system.

3.11 MISCELLANEOUS CONCRETE ITEMS

A. Filling In: Fill in holes and openings left in concrete structures for passage of work by

other trades, unless otherwise shown or directed, after work of other trades is in place.

Mix, place, and cure concrete as specified to blend with in-place construction. Provide

other miscellaneous concrete filling shown or required to complete Work.

B. Curbs: Provide monolithic finish to interior curbs by stripping forms while concrete is

still green and by steel-troweling surfaces to a hard, dense finish with corners,

intersections, and terminations slightly rounded.

foundations as shown on drawings. Set anchor bolts for machines and equipment to

template at correct elevations, complying with diagrams or templates of manufacturer

furnishing machines and equipment.

3.12 CONCRETE CURING AND PROTECTION

A. General: Protect freshly placed concrete from premature drying and excessive cold or

hot temperatures. In hot, dry, and windy weather protect concrete from rapid moisture

loss before and during finishing operations with an evaporation-control material. Apply

according to manufacturer's instructions after screeding and bull floating, but before

power floating and troweling.

B. Start initial curing as soon as free water has disappeared from concrete surface after

placing and finishing. Weather permitting, keep continuously moist for not less than

seven (7) days.

C. Curing Methods: Cure concrete by moist curing.

D. Provide moisture curing by the following methods:

1. Keep concrete surface continuously wet by covering with water.

2. Use continuous water-fog spray.

3. Cover concrete surface with specified absorptive cover, thoroughly saturate

cover with water, and keep continuously wet. Place absorptive cover to provide

coverage of concrete surfaces and edges, with a 4-inch (100 mm) lap over

adjacent absorptive covers.

E. Curing Formed Surfaces: Cure formed concrete surfaces, including underside of

beams, supported slabs, and other similar surfaces, by moist curing with forms in place

03300 - 15

for the full curing period or until forms are removed. If forms are removed, continue

curing by methods specified above, as applicable.

F. Curing Unformed Surfaces: Cure unformed surfaces, including slabs, floor topping,

and other flat surfaces, by applying the appropriate curing method.

1. Final cure concrete surfaces to receive finish flooring with a moisture-retaining

cover, unless otherwise directed.

3.13 REMOVING FORMS

A. General: Formwork not supporting weight of concrete, such as sides of beams, walls,

columns, and similar parts of the work, may be removed after cumulatively curing at

not less than 50 deg F (10 deg C) for 24 hours after placing concrete, provided

concrete is sufficiently hard to not be damaged by form-removal operations, and

provided curing and protection operations are maintained.

B. Formwork supporting weight of concrete, such as beam soffits, joists, slabs, and other

structural elements, may not be removed in less than 14 days or until concrete has

attained at least 75 percent of design minimum compressive strength at 28 days.

Determine potential compressive strength of in-place concrete by testing field-cured

specimens representative of concrete location or members.

C. Form-facing material may be removed four (4) days after placement only if shores and

other vertical supports have been arranged to permit removal of form-facing material

without loosening or disturbing shores and supports.

3.14 REUSING FORMS

A. Clean and repair surfaces of forms to be reused in the Work. Split, frayed,

delaminated, or otherwise damaged form-facing material will not be acceptable for

exposed surfaces. Apply new form-coating compound as specified for new formwork.

B. When forms are extended for successive concrete placement, thoroughly clean

surfaces, remove fins and laitance, and tighten forms to close joints. Align and secure

joint to avoid offsets. Do not use patched forms for exposed concrete surfaces except

as acceptable to Engineer.

3.15 CONCRETE SURFACE REPAIRS

A. Patching Defective Areas: Repair and patch defective areas with cement mortar

immediately after removing forms, when acceptable to Engineer.

B. Mix dry-pack mortar, consisting of one part Portland cement to 2-1/2 parts fine

aggregate passing a No. 16 mesh sieve, using only enough water as required for

03300 - 16

handling and placing.

1. Cut out honeycombs, rock pockets, voids over 1/4 inch in any dimension, and

holes left by tie rods and bolts down to solid concrete but in no case to a depth

less than 1 inch. Make edges of cuts perpendicular to the concrete surface.

Thoroughly clean, dampen with water, and brush-coat the area to be patched

with bonding agent. Place patching mortar before bonding agent has dried.

2. For surfaces exposed to view, blend white Portland cement and standard

Portland cement so that, when dry, patching mortar will match surrounding

color. Provide test areas at inconspicuous locations to verify mixture and color

match before proceeding with patching. Compact mortar in place and strike-off

slightly higher than surrounding surface.

C. Repairing Formed Surfaces: Remove and replace concrete having defective surfaces if

defects cannot be repaired to satisfaction of Engineer. Surface defects include color

and texture irregularities, cracks, spalls, air bubbles, honeycomb, rock pockets, fins and

other projections on the surface, and stains and other discolorations that cannot be

removed by cleaning. Flush out form tie holes and fill with dry-pack mortar or precast

cement cone plugs secured in place with bonding agent.

1. Repair concealed formed surfaces, where possible, containing defects that affect

the concrete's durability. If defects cannot be repaired, remove and replace the

concrete.

D. Repairing Unformed Surfaces: Test unformed surfaces, such as monolithic slabs, for

smoothness and verify surface tolerances specified for each surface and finish. Correct

low and high areas as specified. Test unformed surfaces sloped to drain for trueness of

slope and smoothness by using a template having the required slope.

1. Repair finished unformed surfaces containing defects that affect the concrete's

durability. Surface defects include crazing and cracks in excess of 0.01 inch

wide or that penetrate to the reinforcement or completely through nonreinforced

sections regardless of width, spalling, popouts, honeycombs, rock pockets, and

other objectionable conditions.

2. Correct high areas in unformed surfaces by grinding after concrete has cured at

least 14 days.

3. Correct low areas in unformed surfaces during or immediately after completing

surface finishing operations by cutting out low areas and replacing with patching

mortar. Finish repaired areas to blend into adjacent concrete. Proprietary

underlayment compounds may be used when acceptable to Engineer.

4. Repair defective areas, except random cracks and single holes not exceeding 1

inch in diameter, by cutting out and replacing with fresh concrete. Remove

defective areas with clean, square cuts and expose reinforcing steel with at least

3/4 inch clearance all around. Dampen concrete surfaces in contact with

patching concrete and apply bonding agent. Mix patching concrete of same

03300 - 17

materials to provide concrete of same type or class as original concrete. Place,

compact, and finish to blend with adjacent finished concrete. Cure in same

manner as adjacent concrete.

E. Repair isolated random cracks and single holes 1 inch (25 mm) or less in diameter by

dry-pack method. Groove top of cracks and cut out holes to sound concrete and clean

of dust, dirt, and loose particles. Dampen cleaned concrete surfaces and apply bonding

compound. Place dry-pack before bonding agent has dried. Compact dry-pack

mixture in place and finish to match adjacent concrete. Keep patched area

continuously moist for at least 72 hours.

F. Perform structural repairs with prior approval of Engineer for method and procedure,

using specified epoxy adhesive and mortar.

================================================================

Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within

the scope of the classifications listed may be added after

award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses

(29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii)).

----------------------------------------------------------------

The body of each wage determination lists the classification

and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the

cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage

determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical

order of "identifiers" that indicate whether the particular

rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate for local),

a survey rate (weighted average rate) or a union average rate

(weighted union average rate).

Union Rate Identifiers

A four letter classification abbreviation identifier enclosed

in dotted lines beginning with characters other than "SU" or

"UAVG" denotes that the union classification and rate were

prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example:

PLUM0198-005 07/01/2014. PLUM is an abbreviation identifier of

the union which prevailed in the survey for this

classification, which in this example would be Plumbers. 0198

indicates the local union number or district council number

where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number,

005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing

the wage determination. 07/01/2014 is the effective date of the

most current negotiated rate, which in this example is July 1,

2014.

Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all rate

changes in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing

this classification and rate.

Survey Rate Identifiers

Classifications listed under the "SU" identifier indicate that

no one rate prevailed for this classification in the survey and

the published rate is derived by computing a weighted average

rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that

classification. As this weighted average rate includes all

rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and

non-union rates. Example: SULA2012-007 5/13/2014. SU indicates

the rates are survey rates based on a weighted average

calculation of rates and are not majority rates. LA indicates

the State of Louisiana. 2012 is the year of survey on which

these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007

in the example, is an internal number used in producing the

wage determination. 5/13/2014 indicates the survey completion

date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.

Survey wage rates are not updated and remain in effect until a

new survey is conducted.

Union Average Rate Identifiers

Classification(s) listed under the UAVG identifier indicate

that no single majority rate prevailed for those

classifications; however, 100% of the data reported for the

classifications was union data. EXAMPLE: UAVG-OH-0010

08/29/2014. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union

average rate. OH indicates the state. The next number, 0010 in

the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage

determination. 08/29/2014 indicates the survey completion date

for the classifications and rates under that identifier.

A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January of

each year, to reflect a weighted average of the current

negotiated/CBA rate of the union locals from which the rate is

based.

I. GENERAL

1. Form FHWA-1273 must be physically incorporated in each construction contract funded under Title 23 (excluding emergency contracts solely intended for debris removal). The Contractor (or Subcontractor) must insert this form in each subcontract and further require its inclusion in all lower tier subcontracts (excluding purchase orders, rental agreements and other agreements for supplies or services). The applicable requirements of Form FHWA-1273 are incorporated by reference for work done under any purchase order, rental agreement or agreement for other services. The prime contractor shall be responsible for compliance by any subcontractor, lower-tier subcontractor or service provider. Form FHWA-1273 must be included in all Federal-aid design-build contracts, in all subcontracts and in lower tier subcontracts (excluding subcontracts for design services, purchase orders, rental agreements and other agreements for supplies or services). The


design-builder shall be responsible for compliance by any subcontractor, lower-tier subcontractor or service provider. Contracting agencies may reference Form FHWA-1273 in bid proposal or request for proposal documents, however, the Form FHWA-1273 must be physically incorporated (not referenced) in all contracts, subcontracts and lower-tier subcontracts (excluding purchase orders, rental agreements and other agreements for supplies or services related to a construction contract).

2. Subject to the applicability criteria noted in the following sections, these contract provisions shall apply to all work performed on the Contract by the Contractor's own organization and with the assistance of workers under the Contractor's immediate superintendence and to all work performed on the Ccontract by piecework, station work, or by subcontract.

3. A breach of any of the stipulations contained in these Required Contract Provisions may be sufficient grounds for withholding of progress payments, withholding of final payment, termination of the Contract, suspension / debarment or any other action determined to be appropriate by the contracting agency and FHWA.

4. Selection of Labor: During the performance of this contract, the Contractor shall not use convict labor for any purpose within the limits of a construction project on a Federal-aid highway unless it is labor performed by convicts who are on parole, supervised release, or probation. The term Federal-aid highway does not include roadways functionally classified as local roads or rural minor collectors.

II. NONDISCRIMINATION

The provisions of this section related to 23 CFR Part 230 are applicable to all Federal-aid construction contracts and to all related construction subcontracts of $10,000 or more. The provisions of 23 CFR Part 230 are not applicable to material supply, engineering, or architectural service contracts. In addition, the Contractor and all subcontractors must comply with the following policies: Executive Order 11246, 41 CFR 60, 29 CFR 1625-1627, Title 23 USC Section 140, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended (29 USC 794), Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, and related regulations including 49 CFR Parts 21, 26 and 27; and 23 CFR Parts 200, 230, and 633. The contractor and all subcontractors must comply with: the requirements of the Equal Opportunity Clause in 41 CFR 60-1.4(b) and, for all construction contracts exceeding $10,000, the Standard Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Construction Contract Specifications in 41 CFR 60-4.3. Note: The U.S. Department of Labor has exclusive authority to determine compliance with Executive Order 11246 and the policies of the Secretary of Labor including 41 CFR 60, and 29 CFR 1625-1627. The contracting agency and the FHWA have the authority and the responsibility to ensure compliance with Title 23 USC Section 140, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended (29 USC 794), and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, 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 230, Appendix A, with appropriate revisions to conform to the U.S. Department of Labor (US DOL) and FHWA requirements. 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 (28 CFR 35, 29 CFR 1630, 29 CFR 1625-1627, 41 CFR 60 and 49 CFR 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 35 and 29 CFR 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.

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, 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 who 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.

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. 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. 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. 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, national origin, age or disability. The following procedures shall be followed: a. The contractor will conduct periodic inspections of project sites to insure 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 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. 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, 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, 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 there under. 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, 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 and 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. Assurance Required by 49 CFR 26.13(b): a. The requirements of 49 CFR Part 26 and the State DOT’s U.S. DOT-approved

DBE program are incorporated by reference. b. 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 contracting agency deems appropriate.

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:

(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 $10,000 or more. 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, 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). The requirements apply to all projects located within the right-of-way of a roadway that is functionally classified as Federal-aid highway. This excludes roadways functionally classified as local roads or rural minor collectors, which are exempt. Contracting agencies may elect to apply these requirements to other projects. 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

a. All laborers and mechanics employed or working upon the site of the work, 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 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. Contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits under section 1(b)(2) of the Davis-Bacon Act on behalf of laborers or mechanics are considered wages paid to such laborers or mechanics, subject to the provisions of paragraph 1.d. 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

http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/eforms/

deemed to be constructively made or incurred during such weekly period. Such laborers and mechanics shall be paid the appropriate wage rate and fringe benefits on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed, without regard to skill, except as provided in 29 CFR 5.5(a)(4). Laborers or mechanics performing work in more than one classification may be compensated at the rate specified for each classification for the time actually worked therein: Provided, That the employer's payroll records accurately set forth the time spent in each classification in which work is performed. The wage determination (including any additional classification and wage rates conformed under paragraph 1.b. of this section) and the Davis-Bacon poster (WH–1321) shall 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. (1) The contracting officer shall 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 shall be classified in conformance with the wage determination. The contracting officer shall approve an additional classification and wage rate and fringe benefits therefore 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 utilized 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) 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 shall be sent by the Contracting Officer to the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division, Employment Standards Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, Washington, DC 20210. 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.

(3) 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 shall refer the questions, including the views of all interested parties and the recommendation of the Contracting Officer, to the Wage and Hour Administrator for determination. The Wage and Hour 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.

(4) The wage rate (including fringe benefits where appropriate) determined pursuant to paragraphs 1.b.(2) or 1.b.(3) of this section, shall 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.

c. 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 shall either pay the benefit as stated in the wage determination or shall pay another bona fide fringe benefit or an hourly cash equivalent thereof.

d. 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, 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.

2. Withholding The contracting agency shall upon its own action or upon written request of an authorized representative of the Department of Labor, withhold or cause to be withheld from the Contractor under this contract, or any other Federal contract with the same prime contractor, or any other federally-assisted contract subject to Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements, which is held by the same prime contractor, so much of the accrued payments or advances as may be considered necessary to pay laborers and mechanics, including apprentices, trainees, and helpers, employed by the Contractor or any subcontractor the full amount of wages required by the Contract. In the event of failure to pay any laborer or mechanic, including any apprentice, trainee, or helper, employed or working on the site of the work, all or part of the wages required by the Contract, the contracting agency may, 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.

3. Payrolls and basic records

a. Payrolls and basic records relating thereto shall be maintained by the Contractor during the course of the work and preserved for a period of three years thereafter for all laborers and mechanics working at the site of the work. Such records shall contain the name, address, and social security number of each such worker, his or her correct classification, 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 section 1(b)(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act), daily and weekly number of hours worked, deductions made and actual wages paid. Whenever the Secretary of Labor has found under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iv) 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 section 1(b)(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act, the Contractor shall 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. Contractors employing apprentices or trainees under approved programs shall maintain written evidence of the registration of apprenticeship

programs and certification of trainee programs, the registration of the apprentices and trainees, and the ratios and wage rates prescribed in the applicable programs.

b. (1) The contractor shall submit weekly for each week in which any contract

work is performed a copy of all payrolls to the contracting agency. The payrolls submitted shall set out accurately and completely all of the information required to be maintained under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(3)(i), except that full social security numbers and home addresses shall not be included on weekly transmittals. Instead the payrolls shall only need to include an individually identifying number for each employee ( e.g. , the last four digits of the employee's social security number). The required weekly payroll information may be submitted in any form desired. Optional Form WH–347 is available for this purpose from the Wage and Hour Division Web site at http://www.dol.gov/esa/whd/forms/wh347instr.htm or its successor site. The prime contractor is responsible for the submission of copies of payrolls by all subcontractors. Contractors and subcontractors shall maintain the full social security number and current address of each covered worker, and shall provide them upon request to the contracting agency for transmission to the State DOT, the FHWA or the Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor for purposes of an investigation or audit of compliance with prevailing wage requirements. It is not a violation of this section for a prime contractor to require a subcontractor to provide addresses and social security numbers to the prime contractor for its own records, without weekly submission to the contracting agency.

(2) Each payroll submitted shall be accompanied by a “Statement of Compliance,” signed by the Contractor or subcontractor or his or her agent who pays or supervises the payment of the persons employed under the Contract and shall certify the following: (I) That the payroll for the payroll period contains the information

required to be provided under §5.5 (a)(3)(ii) of Regulations, 29 CFR part 5, the appropriate information is being maintained under §5.5 (a)(3)(i) of Regulations, 29 CFR part 5, and that such information is correct and complete;

(II) That each laborer or mechanic (including each helper,

apprentice, and trainee) employed 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 Regulations, 29 CFR part 3;

(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 of work performed, as specified in the applicable wage determination incorporated into the Contract.

(3) The weekly submission of a properly executed certification set forth on

the reverse side of Optional Form WH–347 shall satisfy the requirement for submission of the “Statement of Compliance” required by paragraph 3.b.(2) of this section.

(4) The falsification of any of the above certifications may subject the Contractor or subcontractor to civil or criminal prosecution under section 1001 of title 18 and section 231 of title 31 of the United States Code.

c. The contractor or subcontractor shall make the records required under paragraph 3.a. of this section available for inspection, copying, or transcription by authorized representatives of the contracting agency, the State DOT, the FHWA, or the Department of Labor, and shall permit such representatives to interview employees during working hours on the job. If the Contractor or subcontractor fails to submit the required records or to make them available, the FHWA may, after written notice to the Contractor, the contracting agency or the State DOT, 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 may be grounds for debarment action pursuant to 29 CFR 5.12.

4. Apprentices and trainees

a. Apprentices (programs of the USDOL).

Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work they performed 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 Training, Employer and Labor Services, or with a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Office, or if a person is employed in his or her first 90 days of probationary employment as an apprentice in such an apprenticeship program, who is not individually registered in the program, but who has been certified by the Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services or a State Apprenticeship Agency (where appropriate) to be eligible for probationary employment as an apprentice. The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeymen on the job site in any craft classification shall not be greater than the ratio permitted to the Contractor as to the entire work force under the registered program. Any worker listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who is not registered or otherwise employed as stated above, shall 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 the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. Where a contractor is performing construction on a project in a locality other than that in which its program is registered, the ratios and wage rates (expressed in percentages of the journeyman's hourly rate) specified in the Contractor's or subcontractor's registered program shall be observed. Every apprentice must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the registered program for the apprentice's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeymen hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination. Apprentices shall 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, fringes shall be paid in accordance with that determination.

In the event the Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services, or a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Office, withdraws approval of an apprenticeship program, the Contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize apprentices at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved.

b. Trainees (programs of the USDOL). Except as provided in 29 CFR 5.16, trainees will not be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work performed unless they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a program which has received prior approval, evidenced by formal certification by the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration. The ratio of trainees to journeymen on the job site shall not be greater than permitted under the plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration. Every trainee must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the approved program for the trainee's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeyman hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination. Trainees shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the trainee program. If the trainee program does not mention fringe benefits, trainees shall be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination unless the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division determines that there is an apprenticeship program associated with the corresponding journeyman wage rate on the wage determination which provides for less than full fringe benefits for apprentices. Any employee listed on the payroll at a trainee rate who is not registered and participating in a training plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any trainee performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. In the event the Employment and Training Administration withdraws approval of a training program, the Contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize trainees at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved.

c. Equal employment opportunity. The utilization of apprentices, trainees and journeymen under this part shall be in conformity with the equal employment opportunity requirements of Executive Order 11246, as amended, and 29 CFR part 30.

d. 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. 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 journeymen 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.

6. Subcontracts. The contractor or subcontractor shall insert Form FHWA-1273 in any

subcontracts and also require the subcontractors to include Form FHWA-1273 in any lower tier subcontracts. The prime contractor shall be responsible for the compliance by any subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor with all the contract clauses in 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.

9. Disputes concerning labor standards. Disputes arising out of the labor standards

provisions of this contract shall not be subject to the general disputes clause of this contract. Such disputes shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures of the Department of Labor set forth in 29 CFR parts 5, 6, and 7. Disputes within the meaning of this clause include disputes between the Contractor (or any of its subcontractors) and the contracting agency, the U.S. Department of Labor, or the employees or their representatives.

10. Certification of eligibility.

a. By entering into this contract, the Contractor certifies that neither it (nor he or

she) 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 section 3(a) of the Davis-Bacon Act or 29 CFR 5.12(a)(1).

b. No part of this contract shall be subcontracted to any person or firm ineligible for

award of a Government contract by virtue of section 3(a) of the Davis-Bacon Act or 29 CFR 5.12(a)(1).

c. The penalty for making false statements is prescribed in the U.S. Criminal Code,

18 U.S.C. 1001. V. CONTRACT WORK HOURS AND SAFETY STANDARDS ACT

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 watchmen and guards. 1. Overtime requirements. No contractor or subcontractor contracting for any part of the

contract work which may require or involve the employment of laborers or mechanics shall require or permit any such laborer or mechanic in any workweek in which he or she is employed on such work to work in excess of forty hours in such workweek unless such laborer or mechanic receives compensation at a rate not less than one and one-half times the basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of forty hours in such workweek.

2. Violation; liability for unpaid wages; liquidated damages. In the event of any violation of the clause set forth in paragraph (1.) of this section, the Contractor and any subcontractor responsible therefor shall be liable for the unpaid wages. In addition, such contractor and subcontractor shall be liable to the United States (in the case of work done under contract for the District of Columbia or a territory, to such District or to such territory), for liquidated damages. Such liquidated damages shall be computed with respect to each individual laborer or mechanic, including watchmen and guards, employed in violation of the clause set forth in paragraph (1.) of this section, in the sum of $10 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.

3. Withholding for unpaid wages and liquidated damages. The FHWA or the contacting

agency shall upon its own action or upon written request of an authorized representative of the Department of Labor withhold or cause to be withheld, from any moneys payable on account of work performed by the Contractor or subcontractor under any such contract or 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, which is held by the same prime contractor, such sums as may be determined to be necessary to satisfy any liabilities of such contractor or subcontractor for unpaid wages and liquidated damages as provided in the clause set forth in paragraph (2.) of this section.

4. Subcontracts. The contractor or subcontractor shall insert in any subcontracts the

clauses set forth in paragraph (1.) through (4.) of this section and also a clause requiring the subcontractors to include these clauses in any lower tier subcontracts. The prime contractor shall be responsible for compliance by any subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor with the clauses set forth in paragraphs (1.) through (4.) of this section.

VI. SUBLETTING OR ASSIGNING THE CONTRACT This provision is applicable to all Federal-aid construction contracts on the National Highway System. 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” 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: (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;

(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.

2. 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. 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.

5. The 30% self-performance requirement of paragraph (1) is not applicable to design-build

contracts; however, contracting agencies may establish their own self-performance requirements.

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 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.

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 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).

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 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 1, 1916, (39 Stat. 355), as amended and supplemented; Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 5 years or both."

IX. IMPLEMENTATION OF CLEAN AIR ACT AND FEDERAL WATER POLLUTION CONTROL ACT This provision is applicable to all Federal-aid construction contracts and to all related subcontracts.

By submission of this bid/proposal or the execution of this contract, or subcontract, as appropriate, the bidder, proposer, Federal-aid construction contractor, or subcontractor, as appropriate, will be deemed to have stipulated as follows:

1. That any person who is or will be utilized in the performance of this contract is not prohibited from receiving an award due to a violation of Section 508 of the Clean Water Act or Section 306 of the Clean Air Act.

2. That the Contractor agrees to include or cause to be included the requirements of

paragraph (1) of this Section X in every subcontract, and further agrees to take such action as the contracting agency may direct as a means of enforcing such requirements.

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. 1.

SP0F0-000150-00 Reissued July 12, 2016

VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

SPECIAL PROVISION FOR NOTICE OF REQUIREMENT FOR AFFIRMATIVE ACTION TO ENSURE EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY (EXECUTIVE ORDER 11246)

1. The Offeror's or Bidder's attention is called to the "Equal Opportunity Clause" and the "Standard Federal

Equal Employment Opportunity Construction Contract Specifications" set forth herein. 2. The goals for female and minority participation, expressed in percentage terms of the Contractor's

aggregate work force in each trade on all construction works in the covered area, are as follows: Females- 6.9% Minorities - See Attachment "A"

The goals are applicable to all the Contractor's construction work performed in the covered area, whether or not it is Federal or federally assisted. If the Contractor performs construction work in a geographical area located outside of the covered area, it shall apply the goals established for such geographical area where the work is actually performed. With regard to this second area, the Contractor also is subject to the goals for both its federally involved and non-federally involved construction. The Contractor's compliance with the Executive Order and the regulations in 41 CFR Part 60-4 shall be based on its implementation of the Equal Opportunity Clause, specific affirmative action obligations required by the specifications, set forth in 41 CFR 60-4.3(a), and its efforts to meet the goals established herein. The hours of minority and female employment and training must be substantially uniform throughout the length of the Contract, and in each trade, and the Contractor shall make a good faith effort to employ minorities and women evenly on each of its projects. The transfer of minority or female employees or trainees from Contractor to Contractor or from project to project for the sole purpose of meeting the Contractor's goals shall be a violation of the Contract, the Executives Order and the regulations in 41 CFR Part 60-4. Compliance with the goals will be measured against the total work hours performed.

3. The Contractor shall provide written notification to the Director of the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs within 10 workings days the award of any construction subcontract in excess of $10,000 at any tier for construction works under this contract. The notification shall list the name, address and telephone number of the subcontractor, employer identification number, estimated dollar amount of the subcontract, estimated starting and completion dates of the subcontract and the geographical area in which the Contract is to be performed.

STANDARD FEDERAL EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT SPECIFICATIONS (EXECUTIVE ORDER 11246)

1. As, used in this provision:

a. "Covered area" means the geographical area described in the solicitation from which this contract resulted;

b. "Director" means Director, Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, United States

Department of Labor, or any person to whom the Director delegates authority; c. "Employer identification number" means the Federal Social Security number used on the Employer's

Quarterly Federal Tax Return, U. S. Treasury Department Form 941;


d. "Minority" includes:

(i) Black (all persons having origins in any of the Black African racial groups not of Hispanic origin); (ii) Hispanic (all persons of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central or South American or other

Spanish Culture or origin, regardless of race); (iii) Asian and Pacific Islander (all persons having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far

East, Southeast Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, or the Pacific Islands); and (iv) American Indian or Alaskan Native (all persons having origins in any of the original peoples of

North America and maintaining identifiable tribal affiliations through membership and participation or community identification).

2. Whenever the Contractor, or any Subcontractor at any tier, subcontracts a portion of the work involving

any construction trade, it shall physically include in each subcontract in excess of $10,000 the provisions of these specifications and the Notice which contains the applicable goals for minority and female participation.

3. If the Contractor is participating (pursuant to 41 CFR 60-4.5) in a Hometown Plan approved by the U. S.

Department of Labor in the covered area either individually or through an association, its affirmative action obligations on all work in the Plan area (including goals and timetables) shall be in accordance with that Plan for those trades which have unions participating in the Plan. Contractors must be able to demonstrate their participation in and compliance with the provisions of any such Hometown Plan. Each Contractor or Subcontractor participating in an approved Plan is individually required to comply with its obligations under the EEO clause, and to make a good faith effort to achieve each goal under the Plan in each trade in which it has employees. The overall good faith performance by other Contractors and Subcontractors toward a goal in an approved Plan does not excuse any covered Contractor's or Subcontractor's failure to take good faith efforts to achieve the Plan goals and timetables.

4. The Contractor shall implement the specific affirmative action standards provided in paragraphs 7 a

through p of these specifications. The goals set forth in the solicitation from which this contract resulted are expressed as percentages of the total hours of employment and training of minority and female utilization the Contractor should reasonably be able to achieve in each construction trade in which it has employees in the coverer area. Covered construction Contractors performing construction work in geographical areas where they do not have a Federal or federally assisted construction contract shall apply the minority and female goals established for the geographical area where the work is being performed. Goals are published periodically in the Federal Register in notice form, and such notices may be obtained from any Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs office or from Federal procurement contracting officers. The Contractor is expected to make substantially uniform progress in meeting its goals in each craft during the period specified.

5. Neither the provisions of any collective bargaining agreement, nor the failure by a union with whom the

Contractor has a collective bargaining agreement, to refer either minorities or women shall excuse the Contractor's obligations under these specifications, Executive Order 11246, or the regulations promulgated pursuant thereto.

6. In order for the nonworking training hours of apprentices and trainees to be counted in meeting the goals,

such apprentices and trainees must be employed by the Contractor during the training period, and the Contractor must have made a commitment to employ the apprentices and trainees at the completion of their training, subject to the availability of employment opportunities. Trainees must be trained pursuant to training programs approved by the U. S. Department of Labor.

7. The Contractor shall take specific affirmative actions to ensure equal employment opportunity. The

evaluation of the Contractor's compliance with these specifications shall be based upon its effort to

achieve maximum results from its actions. The Contractor shall document these efforts fully, and shall implement affirmative action steps at least as extensive as the following: a. Ensure and maintain a working environment free of harassment, intimidation, and coercion at all

sites, and in all facilities at which the Contractor's employees are assigned to work. The Contractor, where possible, shall assign two or more women to each construction project. The Contractor shall specifically ensure that all foreman, superintendents and other on-site supervisory personnel are aware of and carry out the Contractor's obligation to maintain such a working environment, with specific attention to minority or female individuals working at such sites in such facilities.

b. Establish and maintain a current list of minority and female recruitment sources, provide written

notification to minority and female recruitment sources and to community organizations when the Contractor or its unions have employment opportunities available, and maintain a record of the organizations' responses.

c. Maintain a current file of the names, addresses and telephone numbers of each minority and female

off the street applicant and minority or female referral from a union, a recruitment source or community organization and of what action was taken with respect to each such individual. If such individual was sent to the union hiring hall for referral and was not referred back to the Contractor by the union, or if referred, not employed by the Contractor, this shall be documented in the file with the reason therefore, along with whatever additional actions the Contractor may have taken.

d. Provide immediate written notification to the Director when the union or unions which the Contractor

has a collective bargaining agreement has not referred to the Contractor a minority person or women sent by the Contractor, or when the Contractor has other information that the union referral process has impeded the Contractor's efforts to meet its obligations.

e. Develop on-the-job training opportunities and/or participate in training programs for the area which

expressly include minorities and women, including upgrading programs and apprenticeship and trainee programs relevant to the Contractor's employment needs, especially those programs funded or approved by the Department of Labor. The Contractor shall provide notice of these programs to the sources complied under 7b above.

f. Disseminate the Contractor's EEO policy by providing notice of the policy to unions and training

programs and requesting their cooperation in assisting the Contractor in meeting its EEO obligations; by including it in any policy manual and collective bargaining agreement; by publicizing it in the company newspaper or annual report; by specific review of the policy with all management personnel and with all minority and female employees at least once a year; and by posting the company EEO policy on bulletin boards accessible to all employees at each location where construction work is performed.

g. Review, at least annually, the company's EEO policy and affirmative action obligations under these

specifications with all employees having any responsibility for hiring, assignment, layoff, termination, or other employment decisions including specific review of these items with onsite supervisory personnel such as Superintendents and General Foremen prior to the initiation of construction work at any job site. A written record shall be made and maintained identifying the time and place of these meetings, persons attending, subject matter discussed and disposition of the subject matter.

h. Disseminate the Contractor's EEO policy externally by including in any news media advertisement

that the Contractor is "An Equal Opportunity Employer" for minority and female, and providing written notification to and discussing the Contractor's EEO policy with other Contractors and Subcontractors with whom the Contractor does or anticipates doing business.

i. Directs its recruitment efforts, both oral and written, to minority, female and community organizations,

to schools with minority and female students and to minority and recruitment and training organizations serving the Contractor's recruitment area and employment needs. Not later than one

month prior to the date for the acceptance of applications for apprenticeship or other training by recruitment source, the Contractor shall send written notification to organizations such as the above, describing the openings, screening procedures and tests to be used m the selection process.

j. Encourage present minority and female employees to recruit other minority persons and women and,

where reasonable, provide after school, summer and vacation employment to minority and female youth both on the site and in other areas of Contractor's workforce.

k. Validate all tests and other selection requirements where there is an obligation to do so under 41

CFR Part 60-3. l. Conduct, at least annually, an inventory and evaluation of all minority and female personnel for

promotional opportunities and encourage these employees to seek or to prepare for such opportunities through appropriate training or other means.

m. Ensure that seniority practices, job classifications, work assignments and other personnel practices,

do not have a discriminatory effect by continually monitoring all personnel and employment related activities to ensure that the EEO policy and the Contractor's obligations under these specifications are being carried out.

n. Ensure that all facilities and company activities are nonsegregated, except that separate or

single-user toilet and necessary changing facilities shall be provided to assure privacy between the sexes.

o. Document and maintain a record of all solicitations of offers for subcontracts from minority and

female construction contractors and suppliers, including circulation of solicitations to minority and female contractor associations and other business associations.

p. Conduct a review, at least annually, of all supervisors' adherence to and performance under the

Contractor's EEO policies and affirmative action obligations.

8. Contractors are encouraged to participate in voluntary associations which assist in fulfilling one or more of their affirmative action obligations (7a through p). The efforts of a contractor association, joint contractor-union, contractor-community, or other similar group of which the Contractor is a member and participant, may be asserted as fulfilling any one or more of its obligations under 7a through p of these Specifications provided that the Contractor actively participates in the group, makes every effort to assure that the group has a positive impact on the employment of minorities and women in the industry, ensures that the concrete benefits of the program are reflected in the Contractor's minority and female workforce participation, makes a good faith effort to meet its individual goals and timetables and can provide access to documentation which demonstrates the effectiveness of actions taken on behalf of the Contractor. The obligation to comply, however, is the Contractor's and failure of such a group to fulfill an obligation shall not be a defense for the Contractor's noncompliance.

9. Goals for women have been established. However, the Contractor IS required to provide equal

employment opportunity and to take affirmative action for all minority groups, both male and female and all women, both minority and non-minority. Consequently, the Contractor may be in violation of the Executive Order if a particular group is employed in a substantially disparate manner, that is even thought the Contractor has achieved its goals for women, the Contractor may be in violation of the Executive Order if a specific minority group of women is underutilized.

10. The Contractor shall not use the goals and timetables or affirmative action standards to discriminate

against any person because of race, color, religion, sex or nation origin. 11. The Contractor shall not enter into any Subcontract with any person or firm debarred from Government

contracts pursuant to Executive Order 11246.

12. The Contractor shall carry out such sanctions and penalties for violation of these specifications and the Equal Opportunity Clause, including suspension, termination and cancellation of existing subcontracts as may be imposed or ordered pursuant to Executive Order 11246, as amended, and its implementing regulations by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs. Any Contractor who fails to carry out such sanctions and penalties shall be in violation of these specifications and Executive Order 11246. as amended.

13. The Contractor, in fulfilling its obligations under these specifications shall implement specific affirmative

action steps, at least as extensive as those standards prescribed in paragraph 7 of these specifications, so as to achieve maximum results from Its efforts to ensure equal employment opportunity. If the Contractor fails to comply with the requirements of the Executive Order, the implementing regulations, or these specifications, the Director will proceed in accordance with 41 CFR 60-4.8.

14. The Contractor shall designate and make known to the Department a responsible official as the EEO

Officer to monitor all employment related activity, to ensure that the company EEO policy is being carried out, to submit reports relating to the provisions hereof as may be required by the Government and to keep records. Records shall at least include for each employee the name, address, telephone numbers, construction trade, union affiliation if any, employee identification number when assigned, social security number, race, sex, status (e.g., mechanic, apprentice, trainee, helper, or laborer), dates of changes in status, hours worked per week in the indicated trade, rate of pay, and locations at which the work was performed. Records shall be maintained in an easily understandable and retrievable form; however, to the degree that existing records satisfy this requirement, Contractors will not be required to maintain separate records.

15. Nothing herein provided shall be construed as a limitation upon the application of other laws which

establish different standards of compliance or upon the application of requirements for the hiring of local or other area residents (e.g., those under the Public Works Employment Act of 1977 and the Community Development Block Grant Program).

VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION SPECIAL PROVISION FOR

USE OF DOMESTIC MATERIAL

July 26, 2013; Reissued July 12, 2016 SECTION 102.05 PREPARATION OF BID of the Specifications is amended to include the following:

In accordance with the provisions of Section 635.410(b) of Title 23 CFR, hereinafter referred to as “Buy America”, except as otherwise specified, all iron and steel products (including miscellaneous steel items such as fasteners, nuts, bolts and washers) to be permanently incorporated for use on federal aid projects shall be produced in the United States of America regardless of the percentage they exist in the manufactured product or final form they take. Therefore, "Domestically produced in the United States of America" means all manufacturing processes must occur in the United States of America, to mean, in one of the 50 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico or in the territories and possessions of the United States. Manufacturing processes are defined as any process which alters or modifies the chemical content, physical size or shape or final finish of iron or steel material) such as rolling, extruding, bending, machining, fabrication, grinding, drilling, finishing, or coating whereby a raw material or a reduced iron ore material is changed, altered or transformed into a steel or iron item or product which, because of the process, is different from the original material. For the purposes of satisfying this requirement “coating” is defined as the application of epoxy, galvanizing, painting or any other such process that protects or enhances the value of the material. Materials used in the coating process need not be domestic materials. For the purposes herein the manufacturing process is considered complete when the resultant product is ready for use as an item in the project (e.g. fencing, posts, girders, pipe, manhole covers, etc.) or is incorporated as a component of a more complex product by means of further manufacturing. Final assembly of a product may occur outside of the United States of America provided no further manufacturing process takes place. Raw materials such as iron ore, pig iron, processed, pelletized and reduced iron ore, waste products (including scrap, that is, steel or iron no longer useful in its present form from old automobiles, machinery, pipe, railroad rail, or the like and steel trimmings from mills or product manufacturing) and other raw materials used in the production of steel and\or iron products may, however, be imported. Extracting, handling, or crushing the raw materials which are inherent to the transporting the materials for later use in the manufacturing process are exempt from Buy America. The use of foreign source steel or iron billet is not acceptable under the provisions of Buy America. For the purposes of this provision all steel or iron material not meeting the criteria as domestically produced in the United States of America will be considered as “foreign” material. All iron and steel items will be classified hereinafter as "domestic" or "foreign", identified by and subject to the provisions herein. Domestically produced iron or steel ingots or billets shipped outside the United States of America for any manufacturing process and returned for permanent use in a project would not comply with “Buy America” requirements. Buy America provisions do not apply to iron or steel products used temporarily in the construction of a project such as temporary sheet piling, temporary bridges, steel scaffolding, falsework or such temporary material or product or material that remains in place for the Contractor’s convenience. Section 635.410(b) of Title 23 CFR permits a minimal amount of steel or iron material to be incorporated in the permanent work on a federal-aid contract. The cost of such materials or products must not exceed one-tenth of one percent of the Contract amount or $2500, whichever is greater. The cost of the foreign iron or steel material is defined as its monetary value delivered to the job site

https://outsidevdot.cov.virginia.gov/P0JQP/_layouts/WordViewer.aspx?id=/P0JQP/2016_Standard_Specifications/SP102-050100-00.docx

and supported by invoices or bill of sale to the Contractor. This delivered to site cost must include transportation, assembly, installation and testing. In the event the total cost of all "foreign" iron and steel product or material does not exceed one-tenth of one percent of the total contract cost or $2,500, whichever is greater, the use of such material meeting the limitations herein will not be restricted by the domestic requirements herein. However, by signing the bid, the Bidder certifies that such cost does not exceed the limits established herein. Waivers: With prior concurrence from Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) headquarters, the Federal Highway Division Administrator may grant a waiver to specific projects provided it can be demonstrated:

1 that the use of domestic steel or iron materials would be inconsistent with the public interest; or

2. materials or products requested for use are not produced in the United States in sufficient

or reasonably available quantities and are of satisfactory quality for use in the permanent work.

The waiver request shall be submitted with supportive information to include:

1. Project number\description, project cost, waiver item, item cost, country of origin for the product, reason for the waiver, and

2. Analysis of redesign of the project using alternative or approved equal domestic products

In order to grant such a waiver the request for the waiver must be published in the Federal Register for a period not less than 15 days or greater than 60 days prior to waiving such requirement. An initial 15 day comment period to the waiver will be available to the public by means of the FHWA website: http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/construction/contracts/waivers.cfm. Following that initial 15 day period of review and comment the request for waiver will be published by the FHWA in the Federal Register. The effective date of the FHWA finding, either to approve or deny the waiver request, will be 15 days following publication in the Federal Register. Only the FHWA Administrator may grant nationwide waivers which still are subject to the public rulemaking and review process. Alternative Bidding Procedures: An alternative bidding procedure may be employed to justify the use of foreign iron and\or steel. To qualify under this procedure the total project is bid using two alternatives, one based on the use of domestic products and the other, the use of corresponding foreign source steel and\or iron materials. In accordance with the provisions of Section 103.02 of the Specifications the Contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder who submits the lowest total bid based on furnishing domestic iron or steel unless such total exceeds the lowest total bid based on furnishing foreign iron and\or steel by more than 25 percent, in which case the award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder furnishing foreign iron and\or steel based upon furnishing verifiable supportive data. The bidder shall submit a bid based on permanently incorporating only domestic iron and\or steel in the construction of the project. The bidder may also submit a bid for the same proposed contract based on being allowed to permanently incorporate corresponding foreign iron and\or steel materials meeting the other contract requirements into the work on the Contract. If he chooses to submit such a bid, that alternate bid shall clearly indicate which foreign iron and\or steel items will be

http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/construction/contracts/waivers.cfm

permanently installed in the work as well as contain prices for all other items listed in the corresponding domestic proposal to complete a total “Foreign” bid. In the event the Contract is awarded to the bidder furnishing foreign iron and\or steel materials or items the provision for price adjustment of steel items will be permitted, however, price fluctuations shall use the U.S. index as stated in the Special Provision for Price Adjustment For Steel. The Contractor must indicate which corresponding eligible steel items he chooses price adjustment to apply. In the event the Contract is awarded to a bidder furnishing foreign iron and\or steel items and during the life of that contract the Contractor discovers he cannot furnish foreign iron and\or steel material as originally anticipated and agreed upon, he shall be responsible to honor the total bid price and furnish such iron and\or steel materials meeting the Contract requirements from other sources as necessary to complete the work. In the event the Contractor proposes to furnish "foreign" iron and steel and can verify a savings in excess of 25 percent of the overall project cost if bid using domestic materials, the Contractor shall submit a second complete paper bid proposal clearly marked “Foreign” including Form C-7 and supportive data supplement on all sheets. Supportive data shall list, but not be limited to, origin of material, best price offer, quantity and complete description of material, mill analysis, evidence or certification of conformance to contract requirements, etc. The “Foreign” bid shall be completed using the best price offer for each corresponding bid item supplying foreign material in the alternative bid and submit the same with the Contractor’s “Domestic” bid. The Contractor shall write the word “Foreign” by the bid total shown on Form C-7 as well as last page of Schedule of Items showing the total bid amount. The bidder shall also contact the State Contract Engineer to inform him that he is also submitting an alternate “Foreign” paper bid. The information listed on the supportive data sheet(s) will be used to provide the basis for verification of the required cost savings. In the event comparison of the prices given, or corrected as provided in Section 103.01 of the Specifications, shows that use of "foreign" iron and steel items does not represent a cost savings exceeding the aforementioned 25 percent, "domestic" iron and\or steel and prices given there for shall be used and the "100 percent Domestic Items Total" shall be the Contractor's bid. Certification of Compliance: Where domestic material is supplied, prior to incorporation into the Work, the Contractor shall furnish to the Department a certificate of compliance (such as may be furnished by steel mill test reports) that all steel and\or iron products supplied to the project except as may be permitted (one-tenth of one percent of the total contract cost or $2,500, whichever is greater) and permanently incorporated into the work satisfies the domestic requirements herein. This certification shall contain a definitive statement about the origin of all products covered under the provisions of Buy America as stated herein. In lieu of the Contractor providing personal certification, the Contractor may furnish a stepped certification in which each handler of the product, such as supplier, fabricator, manufacturer, processor, etc. furnishes an individual certification that their step in the process was domestically performed.

SP105-000100-00

VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION SPECIAL PROVISION FOR INFORMAL PARTNERING

January 14, 2008c; Reissued July 12, 2016

I. DECLARATION AND DESCRIPTION

The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is firmly committed to the formation of a partnering relationship with the Contractor, all subcontractors, suppliers, FHWA representatives; where appropriate, other federal agencies, local government officials, utilities representatives, law enforcement and public safety officials, consultants, and other stakeholders to effectively and efficiently manage and complete each construction or maintenance contract to the mutual and individual benefits and goals of all parties. Partnering is an approach to fulfilling this commitment where all parties to the contract, as well as individuals and entities associated with or otherwise affected by the contract, willingly agree to dedicate themselves by working together as a team to fulfill and complete the construction or maintenance contract in cost effective ways while preserving the highest standards of safety and quality called for by the Contract combined with the goals of on time/on budget completion. The approach must still allow for the fact that the members of the team share many common interests yet have differing authorities, interests, and objectives that must be accommodated for the project to be viewed as successful by all parties. It is recognized by VDOT that partnering is a relationship in which:

● Trust and open communications are encouraged and expected by all participants ● All parties move quickly to address and resolve issues at the lowest possible level by

approaching problems from the perspectives and needs of all involved ● All parties have identified common goals and at the same time respect each other’s

individual goals and values ● Partners create an atmosphere conducive to cooperation and teamwork in finding better

solutions to potential problems and issues at hand

II. INFORMAL PARTNERING STRUCTURE It is the business intent of the Department that informal partnering will be required on this project, whereby the spirit and principles of partnering are practiced from onsite field personnel to executive level owners and employees. The VDOT Field Guide to Partnering available on the VDOT website http://www.virginiadot.org/business/resources/partnerfinalallowres.pdf will be the standard reference guide utilized to structure and guide partnering efforts. This guide will be systematically evaluated to incorporate better practices as our partnering efforts evolve. Of particular note is the need for effective and responsive communication between parties to the partnering relationship as emphasized in Section 105.03(d) of the Specifications. Informal partnering need not require the services of a professional facilitator and may be conducted by the actual partnering participants themselves. Informal partnering, and more specifically the Partnering Charter, will not change the legal relationship of the parties to the Contract nor relieve either party from any of the terms of the Contract.

III. PROCEDURES

The following are general procedures for informal partnering and are not to be considered as inclusive or representative of procedural requirements for all projects. Participants shall consult the VDOT Field Guide for Partnering for assistance in developing specific guidelines to those efforts required for their individual projects.


http://www.virginiadot.org/business/resources/partnerfinalallowres.pdf

Prior To Project Construction: At least 5 days prior to or in connection with the preconstruction conference the Contractor shall attend a conference with the Engineer at which time he and the Engineer shall discuss the extent of the informal partnering efforts required for the project, how these have been accommodated in the Contractor’s bid and the identity of expectations and stakeholders associated with the project. Informal partnering efforts require the Department and the Contractor to mutually choose a single person from among their collective staffs, or a trained facilitator to be responsible for leading all parties through the VDOT Field Guide to Partnering and any subsequent partnering efforts. Partnering Meetings During Project Construction: In informal partnering efforts the Contractor shall provide a location for regularly scheduled partnering meetings during the construction period. Such meetings will be scheduled as deemed necessary by either party. The Contractor and VDOT will require the attendance of their key decision makers, including subcontractors and suppliers. Both the Contractor and VDOT shall also encourage the attendance of affected utilities, concerned businesses, local government and civic leaders or officials, residents, and consultants, which may vary at different times during the life of the Contract The Department and the Contractor are to agree upon partnering invitees in advance of each meeting. Follow-up partnering workshops may be held throughout the duration of the project as deemed necessary by the Contractor and the Engineer.

IV. MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT

Informal Partnering, because the extent to which certain partnering activities are pursed is at the Contractor’s option, and may vary according to project complexity, work history between the parties, project duration, the Contractor’s own unique methods, means, and schedule to execute and complete the work, etc.; will not be paid for as a separate bid item but the all costs associated with informal partnering efforts for the duration of the work shall be considered inclusive and incidental to the cost of other appropriate items.

SP107-150100-00


SECTION 107.15

December 10, 2010; Reissued July 12, 2016 Section 107.15 of the Specifications is replaced by the following:

Section 107.15—Use of Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs) A. Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program Requirements

Any Contractor, subcontractor, supplier, DBE firm, and contract surety involved in the performance of work on a federal-aid contract shall comply with the terms and conditions of the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) DBE Program as the terms appear in Part 26 of the Code of Federal Regulations (49 CFR as amended), the USDOT DBE Program regulations; and the Virginia Department of Transportation’s (VDOT or the Department) Road and Bridge Specifications and DBE Program rules and regulations. For the purposes of this provision, Contractor is defined as the Prime Contractor of the Contract; and sub-contractor is defined as any DBE supplier, manufacturer, or subcontractor performing work or furnishing material, supplies or services to the Contract. The Contractor shall physically include this same contract provision in every supply or work/service subcontract that it makes or executes with a subcontractor having work for which it intends to claim credit. In accordance with 49 CFR Part 26 and VDOT’s DBE Program requirements, the Contractor, for itself and for its subcontractors and suppliers, whether certified DBE firms or not, shall commit to complying fully with the auditing, record keeping, confidentiality, cooperation, and anti-intimidation or retaliation provisions contained in those federal and state DBE Program regulations. By bidding on this contract, and by accepting and executing this contract, the Contractor agrees to assume these contractual obligations and to bind the Contractor’s subcontractors contractually to the same at the Contractor’s expense. 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, administration, and performance of this contract. Failure by the Contractor to carry out these requirements is a material breach of this contract, which will result in the termination of this contract or other such remedy, as VDOT deems appropriate. All administrative remedies noted in this provision are automatic unless the Contractor exercises the right of appeal within the required timeframe(s) specified herein. Appeal requirements, processes, and procedures shall be in accordance with guidelines stated herein and current at the time of the proceedings. Where applicable, the Department will notify the Contractor of any changes to the appeal requirements, processes, and procedures after receiving notification of the Contractor’s desire to appeal. All time frames referenced in this provision are expressed in business days unless otherwise indicated. Should the expiration of any deadline fall on a weekend or holiday, such deadline will automatically be extended to the next normal business day.


B. DBE Certification The only DBE firms eligible to perform work on a federal-aid contract for DBE contract goal credit are firms certified as Disadvantaged Business Enterprises by the Virginia Department of Minority Business Enterprise (DMBE) or the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA) in accordance with federal and VDOT guidelines. DBE firms must be certified in the specific work listed for DBE contract goal credit. A directory listing of certified DBE firms can be obtained from the Virginia Department of Minority Business Enterprise and the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority Internet websites: http://www.dmbe.virginia.gov/ ; http://mwaa.com/362.htm

C. Bank Services

The Contractor and each subcontractor are encouraged to use the services of banks owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals. Such banking services and the fees charged for services typically will not be eligible for DBE Program contract goal credit. Such information is available from the VDOT’s Internet Civil Rights Division website: http://insidevdot/C7/Civil%20Rights/default.aspx

D. DBE Program-Related Certifications Made by Bidders\Contractors

By submitting a bid and by entering into any contract on the basis of that bid, the bidder/Contractor certifies to each of the following DBE Program-related conditions and assurances: 1. That the management and bidding officers of its firm agree to comply with the bidding

and project construction and administration obligations of the USDOT DBE Program requirements and regulations of 49 CFR Part 26 as amended, and VDOT’s Road and Bridge Specifications and DBE Program requirements and regulations.

2. Under penalty of perjury and other applicable penal law that it has complied with the DBE

Program requirements in submitting the bid, and shall comply fully with these requirements in the bidding, award, and execution of the Contract.

3. To ensure that DBE firms have been given full and fair opportunity to participate in the

performance of the Contract. The bidder certifies that all reasonable steps were, and will be, taken to ensure that DBE firms had, and will have, an opportunity to compete for and perform work on the Contract. The bidder further certifies that the bidder shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, age, national origin, or sex in the performance of the Contract or in the award of any subcontract. Any agreement between a bidder and a DBE whereby the DBE promises not to provide quotations for performance of work to other bidders is prohibited.

4. As a bidder, good faith efforts were made to obtain DBE participation in the proposed contract at or above the goal for DBE participation established by VDOT. It has submitted as a part of its bid true, accurate, complete, and detailed documentation of the good faith efforts it performed to meet the Contract goal for DBE participation. The bidder, by signing and submitting its bid, certifies the DBE participation information submitted within the stated time thereafter is true, correct, and complete, and that the information provided includes the names of all DBE firms that will participate in the Contract, the specific line item(s) that each listed DBE firm will perform, and the creditable dollar amounts of the participation of each listed DBE. The specific line item must reference the VDOT line number and item number contained in the proposal.

http://insidevdot/C7/Civil%20Rights/default.aspx

5. The bidder further certifies, by signing its bid, it has committed to use each DBE firm listed for the specific work item shown to meet the Contract goal for DBE participation. Award of the Contract will be conditioned upon meeting these and other listed requirements of 49 CFR Part 26.53 and the contract documents. By signing the bid, the bidder certifies on work that it proposes to sublet; it has made good faith efforts to seek out and consider DBEs as potential subcontractors. The bidder shall contact DBEs to solicit their interest, capability, and prices in sufficient time to allow them to respond effectively, and shall retain on file proper documentation to substantiate its good faith efforts. Award of the Contract will be conditioned upon meeting these and other listed requirements of 49 CFR Part 26.53 and the contract documents.

6. Once awarded the Contract, the Contractor shall make good faith efforts to utilize DBE firms to perform work designated to be performed by DBEs at or above the amount or percentage of the dollar value specified in the bidding documents. Further, the Contractor understands it shall not unilaterally terminate, substitute for, or replace any DBE firm that was designated in the executed contract in whole or in part with another DBE, any non-DBE firm, or with the Contractor's own forces or those of an affiliate of the Contractor without the prior written consent of VDOT as set out within the requirements of this provision.

7. Once awarded the contract, the Contractor shall designate and make known to the Department a liaison officer who is assigned the responsibility of administering and promoting an active and inclusive DBE program as required by 49 CFR Part 26 for DBEs. The designation and identity of this officer need be submitted only once by the Contractor during any twelve (12) month period at the preconstruction conference for the first contract the Contractor has been awarded during that reporting period. The Department will post such information for informational and administrative purposes at VDOT’s Internet Civil Rights Division website.

8. Once awarded the Contract, the Contractor shall comply fully with all regulatory and contractual requirements of the USDOT DBE Program, and that each DBE firm participating in the Contract shall fully perform the designated work items with the DBE’s own forces and equipment under the DBE’s direct supervision, control, and management. Where a contract exists and where the Contractor, DBE firm, or any other firm retained by the Contractor has failed to comply with federal or VDOT DBE Program regulations and/or their requirements on that contract, VDOT has the authority and discretion to determine the extent to which the DBE contract regulations and\or requirements have not been met, and will assess against the Contractor any remedies available at law or provided in the Contract in the event of such a contract breach.

9. In the event a bond surety assumes the completion of work, if for any reason VDOT has

terminated the prime Contractor, the surety shall be obligated to meet the same DBE contract terms and requirements as were required of the original prime Contractor in accordance with the requirements of this specification.

E. Disqualification of Bidder

Bidders may be disqualified from bidding for failure to comply with the requirements of this Special Provision, the Contract specifications, and VDOT Road and Bridge Specifications.

F. Bidding Procedures

The following bidding procedures shall apply to the Contract for DBE Program compliance purposes: 1. Contract Goal, Good Faith Efforts Specified: All bidders evidencing the attainment of

DBE goal commitment equal to or greater than the required DBE goal established for the project must submit completed Form C-111, Minimum DBE Requirements, and Form C-48, Subcontractor/Supplier Solicitation and Utilization, as a part of the bid documents. Form C-111 may be submitted electronically or may be faxed to the Department, but in no case shall the bidder’s Form C-111 be received later than 10:00 a.m. the next business day after the time stated in the bid proposal for the receipt of bids. Form C-48 must be received within ten (10) business days after the bid opening. If, at the time of submitting its bid, the bidder knowingly cannot meet or exceed the required DBE contract goal, it shall submit Form C-111 exhibiting the DBE participation it commits to attain as a part of its bid documents. The bidder shall then submit Form C-49, DBE Good Faith Efforts Documentation, within two (2) business days after the bid opening. The lowest responsive and responsible bidder must submit its properly executed Form C-112, Certification of Binding Agreement, within three (3) business days after the bids are received. DBEs bidding as prime contractors are not required to submit Form C-112 unless they are utilizing other DBEs as subcontractors. If, after review of the apparent lowest bid, VDOT determines the DBE requirements have not been met, the apparent lowest successful bidder must submit Form C-49, DBE Good Faith Efforts Documentation, which must be received by the Contract Engineer within two (2) business days after official notification of such failure to meet the aforementioned DBE requirements. Forms C-48, C-49, C-111, and C-112 can be obtained from the VDOT website at: http://vdotforms.vdot.virginia.gov/ Instructions for submitting Form C-111 can be obtained from the VDOT website at: http://www.virginiadot.org/business/resources/const/Exp_DBE_Commitments.pdf

2. Bid Rejection: The failure of a bidder to submit the required documentation within the timeframes specified in the Contract Goal, Good Faith Efforts Specified section of this Special Provision may be cause for rejection of that bidder’s bid.

If the lowest bidder is rejected for failure to submit the required documentation in the specified time frames, the Department may award the work to the next lowest bidder, or re-advertise the proposed work at a later date or proceed otherwise as determined by the Commonwealth.

3. Good Faith Efforts Described: In order to award a contract to a bidder that has failed to

meet DBE contract goal requirements, VDOT will determine if the bidder’s efforts were adequate good faith efforts, and if given all relevant circumstances, those efforts were made actively and aggressively to meet the DBE requirements. Efforts to obtain DBE participation are not good faith efforts if they could not reasonably be expected to produce a level of DBE participation sufficient to meet the DBE Program and contract goal requirements.

http://vdotforms.vdot.virginia.gov/

http://www.virginiadot.org/business/resources/const/Exp_DBE_Commitments.pdf

Good faith efforts may be determined through use of the following list of the types of actions the bidder may make to obtain DBE participation. This is not intended to be a mandatory checklist, nor is it intended to be exclusive or exhaustive. Other factors or types of efforts of similar intent may be relevant in appropriate cases: (a) Soliciting through reasonable and available means, such as but not limited to,

attendance at pre-bid meetings, advertising, and written notices to DBEs who have the capability to perform the work of the Contract. Examples include: advertising in at least one daily/weekly/monthly newspaper of general circulation, as applicable; phone contact with a completely documented telephone log, including the date and time called, contact person, or voice mail status; and internet contacts with supporting documentation, including dates advertised. The bidder shall solicit this interest no less than five (5) business days before the bids are due so that the solicited DBEs have enough time to reasonably respond to the solicitation. The bidder shall determine with certainty if the DBEs are interested by taking reasonable steps to follow up initial solicitations as evidenced by documenting such efforts as requested on Form C-49, DBE Good Faith Efforts Documentation.

(b) Selecting portions of the work to be performed by DBEs in order to increase the likelihood that the DBE goals will be achieved. This includes, where appropriate, breaking out contract work items into economically feasible units to facilitate DBE participation, even when the Contractor might otherwise prefer to completely perform all portions of this work in its entirety or use its own forces;

(c) Providing interested DBEs with adequate information about the plans, specifications, and requirements of the Contract in a timely manner, which will assist the DBEs in responding to a solicitation;

(d) Negotiating for participation in good faith with interested DBEs;

1. Evidence of such negotiation shall include the names, addresses, and telephone

numbers of DBEs that were considered; dates DBEs were contacted; a description of the information provided regarding the plans, specifications, and requirements of the Contract for the work selected for subcontracting; and, if insufficient DBE participation seems likely, evidence as to why additional agreements could not be reached for DBEs to perform the work;

2. A bidder using good business judgment should consider a number of factors in

negotiating with subcontractors, including DBE subcontractors, and should take a firm’s price, qualifications, and capabilities, as well as contract goals, into consideration. However, the fact that there may be some additional costs involved in finding and using DBEs is not sufficient reason for a bidder’s failure to meet the Contract goal for DBE participation, as long as such costs are reasonable and comparable to costs customarily appropriate to the type of work under consideration. Also, the ability or desire of a bidder to perform the work of a contract with its own organization does not relieve the bidder of the responsibility to make diligent good faith efforts. Bidders are not, however, required to accept higher quotes from DBEs if the price difference can be shown by the bidder to be excessive, unreasonable, or greater than would normally be expected by industry standards;

(e) A bidder cannot reject a DBE as being unqualified without sound reasons based on a

thorough investigation of the DBE’s capabilities. The DBE’s standing within its industry, membership in specific groups, organizations, associations, and political or social affiliations, and union vs. non-union employee status are not legitimate causes

for the rejection or non-solicitation of bids in the bidder’s efforts to meet the project goal for DBE participation;

(f) Making efforts to assist interested DBEs in obtaining bonding, lines of credit, or

insurance as required by VDOT or by the bidder/Contractor; (g) Making efforts to assist interested DBEs in obtaining necessary equipment, supplies,

materials, or related assistance or services subject to the restrictions contained in these provisions;

(h) Effectively using the services of appropriate personnel from VDOT and from DMBE;

available minority/women community or minority organizations; contractors’ groups; local, state, and Federal minority/ women business assistance offices; and other organizations as allowed on a case-by-case basis to provide assistance in the recruitment and utilization of qualified DBEs.

G. Documentation and Administrative Reconsideration of Good Faith Efforts

During Bidding: As described in the Contract Goal, Good Faith Efforts Specified section of this Special Provision, the bidder must provide Form C-49, DBE Good Faith Efforts Documentation, of its efforts made to meet the DBE contract goal as proposed by VDOT within the time frame specified in this provision. The means of transmittal and the risk for timely receipt of this information shall be the responsibility of the bidder. The bidder shall attach additional pages to the certification, if necessary, in order to fully detail specific good faith efforts made to obtain the DBE firms participation in the proposed contract work. However, regardless of the DBE contract goal participation level proposed by the bidder or the extent of good faith efforts shown, all bidders shall timely and separately file their completed and executed forms C-111, C-112, C-48, and C-49, as aforementioned, or face potential bid rejection. If a bidder does not submit its completed and executed forms C-111, or C-112, when required by this Special Provision, the bidder’s bid will be considered non-responsive and may be rejected. Where the Department upon initial review of the bid results determines the apparent low bidder has failed or appears to have failed to meet the requirements of the Contract Goal, Good Faith Efforts Specified section of this Special Provision and has failed to adequately document that it made a good faith effort to achieve sufficient DBE participation as specified in the bid proposal, that firm upon notification of the Department’s initial determination will be offered the opportunity for administrative reconsideration before VDOT rejects that bid as non-responsive. The bidder shall address such request for reconsideration in writing to the Contract Engineer within five (5) business days of receipt of notification by the Department and shall be given the opportunity to discuss the issue and present its evidence in person to the Administrative Reconsideration Panel. The Administrative Reconsideration Panel will be made up of VDOT Division Administrators or their designees, none of who took part in the initial determination that the bidder failed to make the goal or make adequate good faith efforts to do so. After reconsideration, VDOT shall notify the bidder in writing of its decision and explain the basis for finding that the bidder did or did not meet the goal or make adequate good faith efforts to do so. If, after reconsideration, the Department determines the bidder has failed to meet the requirements of the Contract goal and has failed to make adequate good faith efforts to achieve the level of DBE participation as specified in the bid proposal, the bidder’s bid will be rejected.

If sufficient documented evidence is presented to demonstrate that the apparent low bidder made reasonable good faith efforts, the Department will award the Contract and reduce the DBE requirement to the actual commitment identified by the lowest successful bidder at the time of its bid. The Contractor is still encouraged to seek additional DBE participation during the life of the Contract.

However, such action will not relieve the Contractor of its responsibility for complying with the reduced DBE requirement during the life of the Contract or any administrative sanctions as may be appropriate. During the Contract: If a DBE, through no fault of the Contractor, is unable or unwilling to fulfill his agreement with the Contractor, the Contractor shall immediately notify the Department and provide all relevant facts. If a Contractor relieves a DBE subcontractor of the responsibility to perform work under their subcontract, the Contractor is encouraged to take the appropriate steps to obtain a DBE to perform an equal dollar value of the remaining subcontracted work. In such instances, the Contractor is expected to seek DBE participation towards meeting the goal during the performance of the Contract. If the Contractor fails to conform to the schedule of DBE participation as shown on the progress schedule, or at any point at which it is clearly evident that the remaining dollar value of allowable credit for performing work is insufficient to obtain the scheduled participation, and the Contractor has not taken the preceding actions, the Contractor and any aforementioned affiliates may be subject to disallowance of DBE credit until such time as conformance with the schedule of DBE participation is achieved. Project Completion: If the Contractor fails upon completion of the project to meet the required participation, the Contractor and any prime contractual affiliates, as in the case of a joint venture, may be enjoined from bidding as a prime Contractor, or participating as a subcontractor on VDOT projects for a period of 90 days. Prior to enjoinment from bidding or denial to participate as a subcontractor for failure to comply with participation requirements, as provided hereinbefore, the Contractor may submit documentation to the State Construction Engineer to substantiate that failure was due solely to quantitative underrun(s), elimination of items subcontracted to DBEs, or to circumstances beyond their control, and that all feasible means have been used to obtain the required participation. The State Construction Engineer upon verification of such documentation shall make a determination whether or not the Contractor has met the requirements of the Contract. If it is determined that the aforementioned documentation is insufficient or the failure to meet required participation is due to other reasons, the Contractor may request an appearance before the Administrative Reconsideration Panel to establish that all feasible means were used to meet such participation requirements. The decision of the Administrative Reconsideration Panel shall be administratively final. If the decision is made to enjoin the Contractor from bidding on other VDOT work as described herein, the enjoinment period will begin upon the Contractor’s failure to request a hearing within the designated time frame or upon the Administrative Reconsideration Panel’s decision to enjoin, as applicable.

H. DBE Participation for Contract Goal Credit

DBE participation on the Contract will count toward meeting the DBE contract goal in accordance with the following criteria: 1. Cost-plus subcontracts will not be considered to be in accordance with normal industry

practice and will not normally be allowed for credit. 2. The applicable percentage of the total dollar value of the Contract or Subcontract

awarded to the DBE will be counted toward meeting the Contract goal for DBE participation in accordance with the DBE Program-Related Certifications Made by Bidders\Contractors section of this Special Provision for the value of the work, goods, or services that are actually performed or provided by the DBE firm itself or subcontracted by the DBE to other DBE firms.

3. When a DBE performs work as a participant in a joint venture with a non-DBE firm, the Contractor may count toward the DBE goal only that portion of the total dollar value of the Contract equal to the distinctly defined portion of the Contract work that the DBE has performed with the DBE’s own forces or in accordance with the provisions of this Section. The Department shall be contacted in advance regarding any joint venture involving both a DBE firm and a non-DBE firm to coordinate Department review and approval of the joint venture’s organizational structure and proposed operation where the Contractor seeks to claim the DBE’s credit toward the DBE contract goal.

4. When a DBE subcontracts part of the work of the Contract to another firm, the value of that subcontracted work may be counted toward the DBE contract goal only if the DBE's subcontractor at a lower tier is a certified DBE. Work that a DBE subcontracts to either a non-DBE firm or to a non-certified DBE firm will not count toward the DBE contract goal. The cost of supplies and equipment a DBE subcontractor purchases or leases from the prime Contractor or the prime’s affiliated firms will not count toward the Contract goal for DBE participation.

5. The Contractor may count expenditures to a DBE subcontractor toward the DBE contract goal only if the DBE performs a Commercially Useful Function (CUF) on that contract.

6. A Contractor may not count the participation of a DBE subcontractor toward the Contractor's final compliance with the DBE contract goal obligations until the amount being counted has actually been paid to the DBE. A Contractor may count sixty (60) percent of its expenditures actually paid for materials and supplies obtained from a DBE certified as a regular dealer, and one hundred (100) percent of such expenditures actually paid for materials and supplies obtained from a certified DBE manufacturer. (a) For the purposes of this Special Provision, a regular dealer is defined as a firm that

owns, operates, or maintains a store, warehouse, or other establishment in which the materials, supplies, articles, or equipment required and used under the Contract are bought, kept in stock, and regularly sold or leased to the public in the usual course of business. To be a regular dealer, the DBE firm shall be an established business that regularly engages, as its principal business and under its own name, in the purchase and sale or lease of the products or equipment in question. Packagers, brokers, manufacturers' representatives, or other persons who arrange or expedite transactions will not be considered regular dealers.

(b) A DBE firm may be a regular dealer in such bulk items as petroleum products, steel,

cement, gravel, stone, or asphalt without owning, operating, or maintaining a place of business where it keeps such items in stock if the DBE both owns and operates distribution equipment for the products it sells and provides for the Contract work.

Any supplementation of a regular dealer's own distribution equipment shall be by a long-term lease agreement and not on an ad hoc or contract-by-contract basis to be eligible for credit to meet the DBE contract goal.

(c) If a DBE regular dealer is used for DBE contract goal credit, no additional credit will

be given for hauling or delivery to the project site goods or materials sold by that DBE regular dealer. Those delivery costs shall be deemed included in the price charged for the goods or materials by the DBE regular dealer, who shall be responsible for their distribution.

(d) For the purposes of this Special Provision, a manufacturer will be defined as a firm

that operates or maintains a factory or establishment that produces on the premises the materials, supplies, articles, or equipment required under the Contract and of the general character described by the project specifications. A manufacturer shall include firms that produce finished goods or products from raw or unfinished material, or purchase and substantially alter goods and materials to make them suitable for construction use before reselling them.

(g) A Contractor may count toward the DBE contract goal the following expenditures to

DBE firms that are not regular dealers or manufacturers for DBE program purposes:

1. The entire amount of fees or commissions charged by a DBE firm for providing a bona fide service, such as professional, technical, consultant or managerial services, or for providing bonds or insurance specifically required for the performance of the federal-aid contract, if the fee is reasonable and not excessive or greater than would normally be expected by industry standards for the same or similar services.

2. The entire amount of that portion of the construction contract that is performed by

the DBE's own forces and equipment under the DBE's supervision. This includes the cost of supplies and materials ordered and paid for by the DBE for contract work, including supplies purchased or equipment leased by the DBE, except supplies and equipment a DBE subcontractor purchases or leases from the prime Contractor or its affiliates.

(h) A Contractor may count toward the DBE contract goal one hundred (100) percent of

the fees paid to a DBE trucker or hauler for the delivery of material and supplies required on the project job site, but not for the cost of those materials or supplies themselves, provided that the trucking or hauling fee is determined by VDOT to be reasonable, as compared with fees customarily charged by non-DBE firms for similar services. A Contractor shall not count costs for the removal or relocation of excess material from or on the job site when the DBE trucking company is not the manufacturer of or a regular dealer in those materials and supplies. The DBE trucking firm shall also perform a Commercially Useful Function (CUF) on the project and not operate merely as a pass through for the purposes of gaining credit toward the DBE contract goal. Prior to submitting a bid, the Contractor shall determine, or contact the VDOT Civil Rights Division or its district Offices for assistance in determining, whether a DBE trucking firm will meet the criteria for performing a CUF on the project. See section on Miscellaneous DBE Program Requirements; Factors used to Determine if a DBE Trucking Firm is Performing a CUF.

(i) The Contractor will receive DBE contract goal credit for the fees or commissions

charged by and paid to a DBE broker who arranges or expedites sales, leases, or other project work or service arrangements provided that those fees are determined by VDOT to be reasonable and not excessive as compared with fees customarily charged by non-DBE firms for similar services. For the purposes of this Special

Provision, a broker is defined as a person or firm that regularly engages in arranging for delivery of material, supplies, and equipment, or regularly arranges for the providing of project services as a course of routine business but does not own or operate the delivery equipment necessary to transport materials, supplies, or equipment to or from a job site.

I. Performing a Commercially Useful Function (CUF)

No credit toward the DBE contract goal will be allowed for contract payments or expenditures to a DBE firm if that DBE firm does not perform a CUF on that contract. A DBE performs a CUF when the DBE is solely responsible for execution of a distinct element of the Contract work and the DBE actually performs, manages, and supervises the work involved with the firm’s own forces or in accordance with the provisions of the DBE Participation for Contract Goal Credit section of this Special Provision. To perform a CUF the DBE alone shall be responsible and bear the risk for the material and supplies used on the Contract, selecting a supplier or dealer from those available, negotiating price, determining quality and quantity, ordering the material and supplies, installing those materials with the DBE’s own forces and equipment, and paying for those materials and supplies. The amount the DBE firm is to be paid under the Contract shall be commensurate with the work the DBE actually performs and the DBE credit claimed for the DBE’s performance.

Monitoring CUF Performance: It shall be the Contractor's responsibility to ensure that all DBE firms selected for subcontract work on the Contract, for which he seeks to claim credit toward the Contract goal, perform a CUF. Further, the Contractor is responsible for and shall ensure that each DBE firm fully performs the DBE’s designated tasks with the DBE’s own forces and equipment under the DBE’s own direct supervision and management or in accordance with the provisions of the DBE Participation for Contract Goal Credit section of this Special Provision. For the purposes of this provision the DBE‘s equipment will mean either equipment directly owned by the DBE as evidenced by title, bill of sale or other such documentation, or leased by the DBE, and over which the DBE has control as evidenced by the leasing agreement from a firm not owned in whole or part by the prime Contractor or an affiliate of the Contractor under this contract.

VDOT will monitor the Contractor’s DBE involvement during the performance of the Contract. However, VDOT is under no obligation to warn the Contractor that a DBE's participation will not count toward the goal.

DBEs Must Perform a Useful and Necessary Role in Contract Completion: A DBE does not perform a commercially useful function if the DBE’s role is limited to that of an extra participant in a transaction, contract, or project through which funds are passed in order to obtain the appearance of DBE participation. DBEs Must Perform The Contract Work With Their Own Workforces: If a DBE does not perform and exercise responsibility for at least thirty (30) percent of the total cost of the DBE’s contract with the DBE’s own work force, or the DBE subcontracts a greater portion of the work of a contract than would be expected on the basis of normal industry practice for the type of work involve, VDOT will presume that the DBE is not performing a CUF and such participation will not be counted toward the Contract goal. VDOT Makes Final Determination On Whether a CUF Is Performed: VDOT has the final authority to determine whether a DBE firm has performed a CUF on a federal-aid contract. To determine whether a DBE is performing or has performed a CUF, VDOT will evaluate the amount of work subcontracted by that DBE firm or performed by other firms and the extent of the involvement of other firms’ forces and equipment. Any DBE work performed by the Contractor or by employees or equipment of the Contractor shall be subject to disallowance

under the DBE Program, unless the independent validity and need for such an arrangement and work is demonstrated.

J. Verification of DBE Participation and Imposed Damages

Within fourteen days after contract execution, the Contractor shall submit to the Responsible Engineer, with a copy to the District Civil Rights Office (DCRO), a fully executed subcontract agreement for each DBE used to claim credit in accordance with the requirements stated on Form C-112. The subcontract agreement shall be executed by both parties stating the work to be performed, the details or specifics concerning such work, and the price which will be paid to the DBE subcontractor. Because of the commercial damage that the Contractor and its DBE subcontractor could suffer if their subcontract pricing, terms, and conditions were known to competitors, the Department staff will treat subcontract agreements as proprietary Contractor trade secrets with regard to Freedom of Information Act requests. In lieu of subcontract agreements, purchase orders may be submitted for haulers, suppliers, and manufacturers. These too, will be treated confidentially and protected. Such purchase orders must contain, as a minimum, the following information: authorized signatures of both parties; description of the scope of work to include contract item numbers, quantities, and prices; and required federal contract provisions. The Contractor shall also furnish, and shall require each subcontractor to furnish, information relative to all DBE involvement on the project for each quarter during the life of the Contract in which participation occurs and verification is available. The information shall be indicated on Form C-63, DBE and SWAM Payment Compliance Report. The department reserves the right to request proof of payment via copies of cancelled checks with appropriate identifying notations. Failure to provide Form C-63 to the District Civil Rights Office (DCRO) within five (5) business days after the reporting period may result in delay of approval of the Contractor’s monthly progress estimate for payment. The names and certification numbers of DBE firms provided by the Contractor on the various forms indicated in this Special Provision shall be exactly as shown on the DMBE’s or MWAA’s latest list of certified DBEs. Signatures on all forms indicated herein shall be those of authorized representatives of the Contractor as shown on the Prequalification Application, Form C-32 or the Prequalification/Certification Renewal Application, Form C-32A, or authorized by letter from the Contractor. If DBE firms are used which have not been previously documented with the Contractor’s bid and for which the Contractor now desires to claim credit toward the project goal, the Contractor shall be responsible for submitting necessary documentation in accordance with the procedures stipulated in this Special Provision to cover such work prior to the DBE beginning work. Form C-63 can be obtained from the VDOT website at: http://vdotforms.vdot.virginia.gov/ The Contractor shall submit to the Responsible Engineer its progress schedule with a copy to the DCRO, as required by Section 108.03 of the Specifications or other such specific contract scheduling specification that may include contractual milestones, i.e., monthly or VDOT requested updates. The Contractor shall include a narrative of applicable DBE activities relative to work activities of the Contractor’s progress schedule, including the approximate start times and durations of all DBE participation to be claimed for credit that shall result in full achievement of the DBE goal required in the Contract. On contracts awarded on the basis of good faith efforts, narratives or other agreeable format of schedule information requirements and subsequent progress determination shall be based on the commitment information shown on the latest Form C-111 as compared with the appropriate Form C-63. Prior to beginning any major component or quarter of the work, as applicable, in which DBE work is to be performed, the Contractor shall furnish a revised Form C-111 showing the name(s) and certification number(s) of any current DBEs not previously submitted who will

http://vdotforms.vdot.virginia.gov/

perform the work during that major component or quarter for which the Contractor seeks to claim credit toward the Contract DBE goal. The Contractor shall obtain the prior approval of the Department for any assistance it may provide to the DBE beyond its existing resources in executing its commitment to the work in accordance with the requirements listed in the Good Faith Efforts Described section of this Special Provision. If the Contractor is aware of any assistance beyond a DBE’s existing resources that the Contractor, or another subcontractor, may be contemplating or may deem necessary and that have not been previously approved, the Contractor shall submit a new or revised narrative statement for VDOT’s approval prior to assistance being rendered. If the Contractor fails to comply with correctly completing and submitting any of the required documentation requested by this provision within the specified time frames, the Department will withhold payment of the monthly progress estimate until such time as the required submissions are received VDOT. Where such failures to provide required submittals or documentation are repeated the Department will move to enjoin the Contractor and any prime contractual affiliates, as in the case of a joint venture, from bidding as a prime Contractor, or participating as a subcontractor on VDOT projects until such submissions are received.

K. Documentation Required for Semi-final Payment

On those projects nearing completion, the Contractor must submit Form C-63 marked “Semi-Final” within twenty (20) days after the submission of the last regular monthly progress estimate to the DCRO. The form must include each DBE used on the Contract work and the work performed by each DBE. The form shall include the actual dollar amount paid to each DBE for the accepted creditable work on the Contract. The form shall be certified under penalty of perjury, or other applicable law, to be accurate and complete. VDOT will use this certification and other information available to determine applicable DBE credit allowed to date by VDOT and the extent to which the DBEs were fully paid for that work. The Contractor shall acknowledge by the act of filing the form that the information is supplied to obtain payment regarding a federal participation contract. A letter of certification, signed by both the prime Contractor and appropriate DBEs, will accompany the form, indicating the amount, including any retainage, if present, that remains to be paid to the DBE(s).

L. Documentation Required for Final Payment

On those projects that are complete, the Contractor shall submit a final Form C-63 marked “Final” to the DCRO, within thirty (30) days of the final estimate. The form must include each DBE used on the Contract and the work performed by each DBE. The form shall include the actual dollar amount paid to each DBE for the creditable work on the Contract. VDOT will use this form and other information available to determine if the Contractor and DBEs have satisfied the DBE contract goal percentage specified in the Contract and the extent to which credit was allowed. The Contractor shall acknowledge by the act of signing and filing the form that the information is supplied to obtain payment regarding a federal participation contract.

M. Prompt Payment Requirements

The Contractor shall make prompt and full payment to the subcontractor(s) of any retainage held by the prime Contractor after the subcontractor’s work is satisfactorily completed. For purposes of this Special Provision, a subcontractor’s work is satisfactorily completed when all the tasks called for in the subcontract have been accomplished, documented, and accepted as required by the contract documents by VDOT. When VDOT has made partial acceptance of a portion of the prime contract, the Department will consider the work of any subcontractor covered by that partial acceptance to be satisfactorily completed. Payment will

be made in accordance with the requirements of Section 107.01, Section 109.08, and Section 109.09 of the Specifications. Upon VDOT’s payment of the subcontractor’s portion of the work as shown on the monthly progress estimate and the receipt of payment by the Contractor for such work, the Contractor shall make compensation in full to the subcontractor for that portion of the work satisfactorily completed and accepted by the Department. For the purposes of this Special Provision, payment of the subcontractor’s portion of the work shall mean the Contractor has issued payment in full, less agreed upon retainage, if any, to the subcontractor for that portion of the subcontractor’s work that VDOT paid to the Contractor on the monthly progress estimate. The Contractor shall make payment of the subcontractor’s portion of the work within seven (7) days of the receipt of payment from VDOT in accordance with the requirements of Section 107.01, Section 109.08, and Section 109.09 of the Specifications. If the Contractor fails to make payment for the subcontractor’s portion of the work within the time frame specified herein, the subcontractor shall contact the Responsible Engineer and the Contractor’s bonding company in writing. The bonding company and VDOT will investigate the cause for non-payment and, barring mitigating circumstances that would make the subcontractor ineligible for payment, ensure payment in accordance with the requirements of Section 107.01, Section 109.08, and Section 109.09 of the Specifications. By bidding on this contract, and by accepting and executing this contract, the Contractor agrees to assume these contractual obligations, and to bind the Contractor’s subcontractors contractually to those prompt payment requirements. Nothing contained herein shall preclude the Contractor from withholding payment to the subcontractor in accordance with the terms of the subcontract in order to protect the Contractor from loss or cost of damage due to a breach of agreement by the subcontractor.

N. Miscellaneous DBE Program Requirements

Loss of DBE Eligibility: When a DBE firm has been removed from eligibility as a certified DBE firm, the following actions will be taken: 1. When a Bidder/Contractor has made a commitment to use a DBE firm that is not

currently certified, thereby making the Contractor ineligible to receive DBE participation credit for work performed, and a subcontract has not been executed, the ineligible DBE firm does not count toward either the Contract goal or overall goal. The Contractor shall meet the Contract goal with a DBE firm that is eligible to receive DBE credit for work performed, or must demonstrate to the Contract Engineer that it has made good faith efforts to do so.

2. When a Bidder/Contractor has executed a subcontract with a certified DBE firm prior to official notification of the DBE firm’s loss of eligibility, the Contractor may continue to use the firm on the Contract and shall continue to receive DBE credit toward its DBE goal for the subcontractor’s work.

3. When VDOT has executed a prime contract with a DBE firm that is certified at the time of contract execution but that is later ruled ineligible, the portion of the ineligible firm’s performance on the Contract before VDOT has issued the notice of its ineligibility shall count toward the Contract goal.

Termination of DBE: If a certified DBE subcontractor is terminated, or fails, refuses, or is unable to complete the work on the Contract for any reason, the Contractor must promptly

request approval to substitute or replace that firm in accordance with this section of this Special Provision. The Contractor, as aforementioned in DBE Program-Related Certifications Made by Bidders/Contractors, shall notify VDOT in writing before terminating and/or replacing the DBE that was committed as a condition of contract award or that is otherwise being used or represented to fulfill DBE contract obligations during the Contract performance period. Written consent from the Department for terminating the performance of any DBE shall be granted only when the Contractor can demonstrate that the DBE is unable, unwilling, or ineligible to perform its obligations for which the Contractor sought credit toward the Contract DBE goal. Such written consent by the Department to terminate any DBE shall concurrently constitute written consent to substitute or replace the terminated DBE with another DBE. Consent to terminate a DBE shall not be based on the Contractor’s ability to negotiate a more advantageous contract with another subcontractor whether that subcontractor is, or is not, a certified DBE.

1. All Contractor requests to terminate, substitute, or replace a certified DBE shall be in

writing, and shall include the following information:

(a) The date the Contractor determined the DBE to be unwilling, unable, or ineligible to perform.

(b) The projected date that the Contractor shall require a substitution or replacement DBE to commence work if consent is granted to the request.

(c) A brief statement of facts describing and citing specific actions or inaction by the DBE giving rise to the Contractor’s assertion that the DBE is unwilling, unable, or ineligible to perform;

(d) A brief statement of the affected DBE’s capacity and ability to perform the work as determined by the Contractor;

(e) A brief statement of facts regarding actions taken by the Contractor which are believed to constitute good faith efforts toward enabling the DBE to perform;

(f) The current percentage of work completed on each bid item by the DBE;

(g) The total dollar amount currently paid per bid item for work performed by the DBE;

(h) The total dollar amount per bid item remaining to be paid to the DBE for work completed, but for which the DBE has not received payment, and with which the Contractor has no dispute;

(i) The total dollar amount per bid item remaining to be paid to the DBE for work completed, but for which the DBE has not received payment, and over which the Contractor and/or the DBE have a dispute.

2. Contractor’s Written Notice to DBE of Pending Request to Terminate and Substitute with another DBE.

The Contractor shall send a copy of the “request to terminate and substitute” letter to the affected committed DBE firm, in conjunction with submitting the request to the DCRO. The affected DBE firm may submit a response letter to the Department within two (2) business days of receiving the notice to terminate from the Contractor. The affected DBE firm shall explain its position concerning performance on the committed work. The

Department will consider both the Contractor’s request and the DBE’s response and explanation before approving the Contractor’s termination and substitution request, or determining if any action should be taken against the Contractor. If, after making its best efforts to deliver a copy of the “request to terminate and substitute” letter, the Contractor is unsuccessful in notifying the affected DBE firm, the Department will verify that the affected, committed DBE firm is unable or unwilling to continue the Contract. The Department will immediately approve the Contractor’s request for a substitution.

3. Proposed Substitution of Another Certified DBE

Upon termination of a DBE, the Contractor shall use reasonable good faith efforts to replace the terminated DBE. The termination of such DBE shall not relieve the Contractor of its obligations pursuant to this section, and the unpaid portion of the terminated DBE’s contract will not be counted toward the Contract goal.

When a DBE substitution is necessary, the Contractor shall submit an amended Form C-111 with the name of another DBE firm, the proposed work to be performed by that firm, and the dollar amount of the work to replace the unfulfilled portion of the work of the originally committed DBE firm. The Contractor shall furnish all pertinent information including the Contract I.D. number, project number, bid item, item description, bid unit and bid quantity, unit price, and total price. In addition, the Contractor shall submit documentation for the requested substitute DBE as described in this section of this Special Provision. Should the Contractor be unable to commit the remaining required dollar value to the substitute DBE, the Contractor shall provide written evidence of good faith efforts made to obtain the substitute value requirement. The Department will review the quality, thoroughness, and intensity of those efforts. Efforts that are viewed by VDOT as merely superficial or pro-forma will not be considered good faith efforts to meet the Contract goal for DBE participation. The Contractor must document the steps taken that demonstrated its good faith efforts to obtain participation as set forth in the Good Faith Efforts Described section of this Special Provision.

Factors Used to determine if a DBE Trucking Firm is performing a CUF: The following factors will be used to determine whether a DBE trucking company is performing a CUF: 1. To perform a CUF the DBE trucking firm shall be completely responsible for the

management and supervision of the entire trucking operation for which the DBE is responsible by subcontract on a particular contract. There shall not be a contrived arrangement, including, but not limited to, any arrangement that would not customarily and legally exist under regular construction project subcontracting practices for the purpose of meeting the DBE contract goal;

2. The DBE must own and operate at least one fully licensed, insured, and operational truck

used in the performance of the Contract work. This does not include a supervisor’s pickup truck or a similar vehicle that is not suitable for and customarily used in hauling the necessary materials or supplies;

3. The DBE receives full contract goal credit for the total reasonable amount the DBE is

paid for the transportation services provided on the Contract using trucks the DBE owns, insures, and operates using drivers that the DBE employs and manages;

4. The DBE may lease trucks from another certified DBE firm, including from an owner-operator who is certified as a DBE. The DBE firm that leases trucks from another DBE will receive credit for the total fair market value actually paid for transportation services the lessee DBE firm provides on the Contract;

5. The DBE may also lease trucks from a non-DBE firm, including an owner-operator. The

DBE who leases trucks from a non-DBE is entitled to credit for the total value of the transportation services provided by non-DBE lessees, not to exceed the value of transportation services provided by DBE-owned trucks on the Contract. For additional participation by non-DBE lessees, the DBE will only receive credit for the fee or commission it receives as a result of the lease arrangement.

EXAMPLE

DBE Firm X uses two (2) of its own trucks on a contract. The firm leases two (2) trucks from DBE Firm Y and six (6) trucks from non-DBE Firm Z.

Firm X

Value of Trans. Serv.

(For Illustrative Purposes Only)

Truck 1 Owned by DBE $100 per day Truck 2 Owned by DBE $100 per day Firm Y

Truck 1 Leased from DBE $110 per day Truck 2 Leased from DBE $110 per day Firm Z

Truck 1 Leased from Non DBE $125 per day Truck 2 Leased from Non DBE $125 per day Truck 3 Leased from Non DBE $125 per day Truck 4 Leased from Non DBE $125 per day Truck 5 Leased from Non DBE* $125 per day Truck 6 Leased from Non DBE* $125 per day

DBE credit would be awarded for the total transportation services provided by DBE Firm X and DBE Firm Y, and may also be awarded for the total value of transportation services by four (4) of the six (6) trucks provided by non-DBE Firm Z (not to exceed the value of transportation services provided by DBE-owned trucks).

Credit = 8 Trucks Total Value of Transportation Services = $820

In all, full DBE credit would be allowed for the participation of eight (8) trucks (twice the number of DBE trucks owned and leased) and the dollar value attributable to the Value of Transportation Services provided by the 8 trucks. * With respect to the other two trucks provided by non-DBE Firm Z, DBE credit could be awarded only for the fees or commissions pertaining to those trucks that DBE Firm X receives as a result of the lease with non-DBE Firm Z.

6. For purposes of this section, the lease must indicate that the DBE firm leasing the truck has exclusive use of and control over the truck. This will not preclude the leased truck from working for others during the term of the lease with the consent of the DBE, provided the lease gives the DBE absolute priority for and control over the use of the leased truck. Leased trucks must display the name and identification number of the DBE firm that has leased the truck at all times during the life of the lease.

Data Collection: In accordance with 49CFR Section 26.11, all firms bidding on prime contracts and bidding or quoting subcontracts on federal-aid projects shall provide the following information to the Contract Engineer annually.

o Firm name

o Firm address

o Firm’s status as a DBE or non-DBE

o The age of the firm and

o The annual gross receipts of the firm The means of transmittal and the risk for timely receipt of this information shall be the responsibility of the bidder. However, the above information can be submitted by means of the Annual Gross Receipts Survey as required in the Prequalification/Certification application. All bidders, including DBE prime Contractor bidders, shall complete and submit to the Contract Engineer the Subcontractor/Supplier Solicitation and Utilization Form C-48 for each bid submitted; to be received within ten (10) business days after the bid opening. Failure of bidders to submit this form in the time frame specified may be cause for disqualification of the bidder and rejection of their bid in accordance with the requirements of this Special Provision, the Contract specifications, and VDOT Road and Bridge specifications.

O. Suspect Evidence of Criminal Behavior

Failure of a bidder, Contractor, or subcontractor to comply with the Virginia Department of Transportation Road and Bridge Specifications and these Special Provisions wherein there appears to be evidence of criminal conduct shall be referred to the Attorney General for the Commonwealth of Virginia and/or the FHWA Inspector General for criminal investigation and, if warranted, prosecution.

Suspected DBE Fraud

In appropriate cases, VDOT will bring to the attention of the U. S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) any appearance of false, fraudulent, or dishonest conduct in connection with the DBE program, so that USDOT can take the steps, e.g., referral to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution, referral to the USDOT Inspector General, action under suspension and debarment or Program Fraud and Civil Penalties rules provided in 49CFR Part 31.

P. Summary of Remedies for Non-Compliance with DBE Program Requirements

Failure of any bidder\Contractor to comply with the requirements of this Special Provision for Section 107.15 of the Virginia Road and Bridge Specifications, which is deemed to be a condition of bidding, or where a contract exists, is deemed to constitute a breach of contract shall be remedied in accordance with the following:

1. Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program Requirements

The Contractor shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 CFR Part 26 in the award, administration, and performance of this contract. Failure by the Contractor to carry out these requirements is a material breach of this contract, which will result in the termination of this contract or other such remedy, as VDOT deems appropriate. All administrative remedies noted in this provision are automatic unless the Contractor exercises the right of appeal within the required timeframe(s) specified herein.

2. DBE Program-Related Certifications Made by Bidders\Contractors

Once awarded the contract, the Contractor shall comply fully with all regulatory and contractual requirements of the USDOT DBE Program, and that each certified DBE firm participating in the Contract shall fully perform the designated work items with the DBE’s own forces and equipment under the DBE’s direct supervision, control, and management. Where a contract exists and where the Contractor, DBE firm, or any other firm retained by the Contractor has failed to comply with federal or VDOT DBE Program regulations and/or their requirements on that contract, VDOT has the authority and discretion to determine the extent to which the DBE contract requirements have not been met, and will assess against the Contractor any remedies available at law or provided in the Contract in the event of such a contract breach.

3. Disqualification of Bidder

Bidders may be disqualified from bidding for failure to comply with the requirements of this Special Provision, the Contract specifications, and VDOT Road and Bridge Specifications.

4. Bidding Procedures

The failure of a bidder to submit the required documentation within the timeframes specified in the Contract Goal, Good Faith Efforts Specified section of this Special Provision may be cause for rejection of that bidder’s bid. If the lowest bidder is rejected for failure to submit required documentation in the specified time frames, the Department may either award the work to the next lowest bidder, or re-advertise and construct the work under contract or otherwise as determined by the Commonwealth. In order to award a contract to a bidder that has failed to meet DBE contract goal requirements, VDOT will determine if the bidder’s efforts were adequate good faith efforts, and if given all relevant circumstances, those efforts were to the extent a bidder actively and aggressively seeking to meet the requirements would make. Regardless of the DBE contract goal participation level proposed by the bidder or the extent of good faith efforts shown, all bidders shall timely and separately file their completed and executed Forms C-111, C-112, C-48, and Form C-49, as aforementioned, or face potential bid rejection. If a bidder does not submit it’s completed and executed C-111, or C-112, when required by this Special Provision, the bidder’s bid will be considered non-responsive and may be rejected. If, after reconsideration, the Department determines the bidder has failed to meet the requirements of the Contract goal and has failed to make adequate good faith efforts to achieve the level of DBE participation as specified in the bid proposal, the bidder’s bid will be rejected. If sufficient documented evidence is presented to demonstrate that the apparent low bidder made reasonable good faith efforts, the Department will award the Contract and reduce the DBE requirement to the

actual commitment identified by the lowest successful bidder at the time of its bid. The Contractor is encouraged to seek additional participation during the life of the Contract. If the Contractor fails to conform to the schedule of DBE participation as shown on the progress schedule, or at any point at which it is clearly evident that the remaining dollar value of allowable credit for performing work is insufficient to obtain the scheduled participation, the Contractor and any aforementioned affiliates may be enjoined from bidding for 60 days or until such time as conformance with the schedule of DBE participation is achieved. In such instances, the Contractor is expected to seek DBE participation towards meeting the goal during the prosecution of the Contract. If the Contractor fails upon completion of the project to meet the required participation, the Contractor and any prime contractual affiliates, as in the case of a joint venture, may be enjoined from bidding as a prime Contractor, or participating as a subcontractor on VDOT projects for a period of 90 days. Prior to enjoinment from bidding or denial to participate as a subcontractor for failure to comply with participation requirements, as provided hereinbefore, the Contractor may submit documentation to the State Construction Engineer to substantiate that failure was due solely to quantitative underrun(s) or elimination of items subcontracted to DBEs, and that all feasible means have been used to obtain the required participation. The State Construction Engineer upon verification of such documentation shall make a determination whether or not the Contractor has met the requirements of the Contract. If it is determined that the aforementioned documentation is insufficient or the failure to meet required participation is due to other reasons, the Contractor may request an appearance before the Administrative Reconsideration Panel to establish that all feasible means were used to meet such participation requirements. The decision of the Administrative Reconsideration Panel shall be administratively final. The enjoinment period will begin upon the Contractor’s failure to request a hearing within the designated time frame or upon the Administrative Reconsideration Panel’s decision to enjoin, as applicable.

5. Verification of DBE Participation and Imposed Damages

If the Contractor fails to comply with correctly completing and submitting any of the required documentation requested by this provision within the specified time frames, the Department will withhold payment of the monthly progress estimate until such time as the required submissions are received by VDOT. Where such failures to provide required submittals or documentation are repeated the Department will move to enjoin the Contractor and any prime contractual affiliates, as in the case of a joint venture, from bidding as a prime Contractor, or participating as a subcontractor on VDOT projects until such submissions are received.

In addition to the remedies described heretofore in this provision VDOT also exercises its rights with respect to the following remedies:

Suspect Evidence of Criminal Behavior

Failure of a bidder, Contractor, or subcontractor to comply with the Virginia Department of Transportation Road and Bridge Specifications and these Special Provisions wherein there appears to be evidence of criminal conduct shall be referred to the Attorney General for the Commonwealth of Virginia and/or the FHWA Inspector General for criminal investigation and, if warranted prosecution.

In appropriate cases, VDOT will bring to the attention of the U. S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) any appearance of false, fraudulent, or dishonest conduct in connection with the DBE program, so that USDOT can take the steps, e.g., referral to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution, referral to the USDOT Inspector General, action under suspension and debarment or Program Fraud and Civil Penalties rules provided in 49CFR Part 31.

CPM PROGRESS SCHEDULE FOR CATEGORY III PROJECTS

March 1, 2011; Reissued July 12, 2016 Section 103.06(e) Progress Schedule of the Specifications is deleted and replaced by this provision. Section 108.03 Progress Schedule of the Specifications is deleted and replaced by this provision. For definitions of scheduling terms not defined herein, and guidelines on preparing and maintaining the Progress Schedule, refer to the VDOT Post-Award Scheduling Guide. I. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

This work shall consist of generating and maintaining a project Progress Schedule to aid the Contractor and the Department in planning and executing the Work. The Progress Schedule shall be used by the Contractor, the Department, and all involved parties to plan and schedule all work required to complete the project. The Progress Schedule shall also be used by the Department to monitor progress of the individual activities required to complete the project; as well as to assess the overall progress of the Work and to evaluate the effects of time-related changes on the project. The Progress Schedule shall consist of a Critical Path Method (CPM) Progress Schedule, Progress Schedule Narrative, and Progress Earnings Schedule submitted according to this provision. The Contractor shall prepare and submit, for the Engineer’s review and acceptance, a Progress Schedule to communicate the Contractor’s intentions and proposed plan to accomplish the Work according to the Contract. The Progress Schedule shall depict the sequence in which the Contractor proposes to perform the Work and the dates on which the Contractor contemplates starting and completing all schedule activities required to complete the project. The Contractor shall maintain the Progress Schedule, at a minimum, monthly to ensure that it continues to represent the current status of the project and the Contractor’s current work plan to complete the project. The Contractor shall attend a Scheduling Conference with the Engineer no later than seven (7) calendar days prior to beginning the Work, with the exception of project start-up activities such as submittals, mobilization, surveying, construction access and signage, erosion and sedimentation controls, etc., as approved by the Engineer. The Scheduling Conference will be held to discuss the Contractor’s overall plan to complete the Work and the detail work plan for the first ninety (90) calendar days of Work. The Scheduling Conference may be held in conjunction with the Pre-Construction Conference or at a separate meeting as mutually agreed to by the Contractor and the Engineer. The Contractor shall discuss his/her overall plan of operations concerning the Maintenance of Traffic (MOT)/Sequence of Construction or any proposed deviations from the phasing, staging, or sequence of construction as indicated on the Contract plans or as approved by the Engineer. During the Scheduling Conference key issues and project specific requirements necessary for the development of the Baseline Progress Schedule shall also be discussed. Such key issues shall include as applicable, but are not limited to key submittals, permits, construction access, right of way, environmental, utility, traffic or local events indentified in the Contract that may impact traffic; as well as other limitations to the Work or any known constraints or foreseeable issues that may impact the schedule. Such project specific requirements shall include as applicable, but are not limited to scheduling, phasing, sequencing, milestone(s), work


to be performed by the Department or other previously identified involved parties; or any known or likely constructability issues relative to the Contract plans and specifications.

II. OVERVIEW OF THE VARIOUS REQUIRED PROGRESS SCHEDULE SUBMISSIONS

A. Preliminary Progress Schedule – At least two (2) business days prior to the Scheduling

Conference, or as approved by the Engineer, the Contractor shall submit to the Engineer for review and acceptance a Preliminary Progress Schedule. At the Contractor’s discretion, a complete detailed Baseline Progress Schedule for the entire project may be submitted in lieu of the Preliminary Progress Schedule. The Preliminary Progress Schedule submission shall consist of the following:

1. Preliminary Progress Schedule: The Preliminary Progress Schedule shall depict,

at a detailed level, the Contractor’s proposed sequence and start/finish dates for all activities scheduled for the first ninety (90) calendar days of work. It shall also include, as applicable, any milestones or work to be performed by sub-contractors, the Department, or third parties during the first ninety (90) calendar days of work. The Preliminary Progress Schedule shall also depict at a summary level the proposed overall sequence and timing of the remaining Work. The Preliminary Progress Schedule shall be prepared according to Section IV (A), with the exception of cost-loading.

2. Preliminary Progress Schedule Narrative: The Preliminary Progress Schedule

Narrative shall describe the Contractor’s detailed work plan for the first ninety (90) calendar days of work. The Preliminary Progress Schedule Narrative shall be prepared according to Section IV (B).

Until the Baseline Progress Schedule is accepted by the Engineer, the Contractor shall submit an update of the Preliminary Progress Schedule monthly, within five (5) working days after the current data date or as approved by the Engineer. The updated Preliminary Progress Schedule shall show the actual progress of work completed to date and the current detailed schedule for accomplishing the work planned for the following ninety (90) calendar days of Work, as of the data date. It shall also show the summary level activities required to complete the remainder of the Work.

B. Baseline Progress Schedule – Within thirty (30) calendar days after the Notice to

Proceed (NTP) date or as approved by the Engineer, the Contractor shall submit in its entirety, his/her Baseline Progress Schedule, to the Engineer for review and acceptance. The Baseline Progress Schedule submittal shall consist of the following:

1. Baseline Progress Schedule: The Baseline Progress Schedule shall represent

the Contractor’s initial detailed plan to accomplish the entire scope of Work according to the Contract. The Baseline Progress Schedule shall be prepared based on the Critical Path Method (CPM) and shall depict in a time-scaled bar-chart plot, the sequence in which the Contractor proposes to perform the Work, the project critical path, and the dates on which the Contractor contemplates starting and completing the individual schedule activities required to complete the project. The Baseline Progress Schedule shall also depict the current status of the project and the Contractor’s current plan to complete the remaining work, as of the Baseline Progress Schedule submittal date. The Baseline Progress Schedule shall reflect a practicable work plan and logical progress of the Work as indicated in the Contract or as approved by the Engineer. When preparing the schedule, the Contractor shall consider as applicable, all known or specified constraints or restrictions such as: holidays,

seasonal, normal weather, traffic or previously identified local events that may impact traffic, utility, railroad, right-of-way, environmental, permits, or other limitations to the Work that will impact the schedule. The Baseline Progress Schedule shall be prepared according to Section IV (A).

2. Baseline Progress Schedule Narrative: The Baseline Progress Schedule Narrative shall describe the Contractor’s proposed overall work plan to complete the entire project as reflected on the Baseline Progress Schedule. The Baseline Progress Schedule Narrative shall be prepared according to Section IV (B).

3. Baseline Progress Earnings Schedule: The Baseline Progress Earnings

Schedule shall indicate the Contractor’s anticipated cumulative progress each month as of the Contractor’s progress estimate date as defined in Section 109.08(a) of the Specifications. The anticipated cumulative progress shall be expressed as “Percent Complete” based on the anticipated total earnings to date relative to the Total Contract Value. The Baseline Progress Earnings Schedule shall reflect the anticipated progress of the Work as shown on the Baseline Progress Schedule and shall be prepared on the VDOT Form C-13C according to the VDOT Post-Award Scheduling Guide. At the Contractor’s discretion, the Progress Schedule may be cost-loaded, in which case, the Progress Earnings Schedule shall then be prepared and submitted using the VDOT Form C-13CPM.

The Baseline Progress Schedule will be reviewed by the Engineer for acceptance according to Section VII. Upon acceptance by the Engineer, the Baseline Progress Schedule shall replace the Preliminary Progress Schedule. The accepted Baseline Progress Schedule shall henceforth become the project Schedule of Record (SOR). The SOR shall be defined as the currently accepted Baseline Progress Schedule. Until a subsequent Revised Progress Schedule is submitted and accepted, the accepted Baseline Progress Schedule shall remain the SOR against which all subsequent Progress Schedule Updates and progress will be compared. The SOR shall be used by the Engineer to assess the Contractor’s schedule-based performance on the project.

C. Progress Schedule Update – The Contractor shall on a monthly basis submit for the Engineer’s review and acceptance the Contractor’s Progress Schedule Update within five (5) business days after the Contractor’s progress estimate date or as approved by the Engineer. The Progress Schedule Update shall consist of the following: 1. Progress Schedule Update: The Progress Schedule Update shall depict the

current status of the Work and the Contractor’s current plan to complete the remaining work as of the data date. The Progress Schedule Update shall be prepared according to Section IV (A).

2. Progress Schedule Update Narrative: The Progress Schedule Update Narrative shall describe the work performed since the previous update and the Contractor’s current plan for accomplishing the remaining work. It shall also describe any progress deficiencies, schedule slippages, or time-related issues encountered; as well as any actions taken or proposed to avoid or mitigate the effects of the progress deficiencies, schedule slippages, or time-related issues. The Progress Schedule Update Narrative shall be prepared according to Section IV (B).

3. Progress Earnings Schedule Update: The Progress Earnings Schedule Update shall depict the current status of the project by percent complete based on the actual total earnings to date relative to the Total Contract Value. The Progress Earnings Schedule Update shall show the actual monthly and cumulative earnings to date as reflected on the Contractor’s payment estimate, any variance in percent complete relative to the SOR, and the projected earnings for the

remaining payment periods. The Progress Earnings Schedule Update shall be prepared on the VDOT Form C-13C or as specified herein and according to the VDOT Post-Award Scheduling Guide.

The Progress Schedule Update will be reviewed by the Engineer for acceptance according to Section VII. Upon acceptance by the Engineer, the Progress Schedule Update shall replace any previous Progress Schedule Updates as the current update of the SOR; however, it shall not replace the SOR. The currently accepted Progress Schedule Update shall henceforth become the contemporaneous schedule with which to report the current status of the project, plan the remaining Work, and evaluate the effects of any time-related changes or delays on the remaining Work.

D. Revised Progress Schedule – When the current Progress Schedule or work plan deviates significantly from the SOR, the Contractor shall submit to the Engineer for review and acceptance a Revised Progress Schedule to represent the Contractor’s revised plan to complete the remaining work. Deviate significantly will be construed to mean deviations from the SOR resulting from schedule impacts or major changes in the Progress Schedule that alter the project critical path, Contract interim milestone(s), or project completion; or causes a major shift in the Progress Earnings Schedule. A Revised Progress Schedule will be required when: 1. The Engineer approves a Schedule Impact Analysis (SIA) for authorized or

unanticipated changes in the Work or conditions that significantly impacts the Progress Schedule, as determined by the Engineer.

2. The Contractor proposes a different approach to his/her work plan that

significantly impacts the Progress Schedule or the Engineer determines that the current Progress Schedule Update or Contractor’s current work plan deviates significantly from the SOR. Such deviations may include, but are not limited to major changes in the Contractor’s proposed phasing, general sequence, resource plan, means and methods, or durations. The Contractor may revise his/her Progress Schedule at any time, at his/her discretion; however, the Engineer will only consider accepting a Revised Progress Schedule submission for major changes that deviate significantly from the SOR.

3. The Engineer determines that progress of the Work is trending towards

unsatisfactory, according to Section VIII (C), and in the opinion of the Engineer, it is apparent that the progress deficiency will not result in an extension of the completion date of the project beyond the Contract time limit and a Recovery Plan is not required to correct the progress deficiency. In such cases, the Engineer will request a meeting with the Contractor to discuss the progress deficiency to determine the appropriate corrective action required.

The Revised Progress Schedule submission shall be based on the currently accepted Progress Schedule Update and shall be prepared and submitted in the form of a Baseline Progress Schedule as described in Section II (B). However, it shall reflect the current status of the project as of the submittal date, approved changes in the Work, and the proposed plan for completing the remaining work. The Revised Progress Schedule shall be submitted in lieu of a subsequent Progress Schedule Update unless directed otherwise by the Engineer. The Revised Progress Schedule will be reviewed by the Engineer for acceptance according to Section VII. Upon acceptance by the Engineer, the Revised Progress Schedule shall henceforth replace the accepted Baseline Progress Schedule or any previously accepted Revised Progress Schedule as the SOR for the remainder of the project.

E. Final As-Built Progress Schedule – Within thirty (30) calendar days after final acceptance, the Contractor shall submit to the Engineer his/her Final As-built Progress Schedule. The Final As-built Progress Schedule shall show the actual start and finish dates for each activity in the schedule. The Contractor shall certify in writing that the Final As-built Progress Schedule accurately reflects the actual start and finish dates for all activities contained in the Progress Schedule. The Final As-built Progress Schedule shall be submitted in the form of a monthly Progress Schedule Update and shall represent the last Progress Schedule Update submission.

III. SCHEDULE IMPACT ANALYSIS (SIA) FOR CHANGES AND DELAYS A. Changes, Delays, and Schedule Impacts – When changes in the Work that will impact

the schedule are proposed or authorized by the Engineer, the Contractor shall submit for the Engineer’s review and approval, a Schedule Impact Analysis (SIA) to determine the impact of the change. Also, when the Contractor believes he is entitled to a time extension and/or additional compensation for a time-related impact that is attributable to a cause beyond the control of and without the fault, negligence, or responsibility of the Contractor or those for whom the Contractor is responsible, the Contractor shall submit for the Engineer’s review and approval, a SIA and all available supporting data to substantiate the request for modification of the Contract. The Contractor’s request and SIA shall be submitted according to the following: 1. Impacts Due to Directed or Authorized Changes: When the Engineer issues a

written order or authorizes a change in the Work in writing, the Contractor shall submit in writing within seven (7) calendar days of the Engineer’s written direction or as required by the Engineer, a request for modification of the Contract, if the Contractor believes that additional time and/or compensation is required to perform the Work. Such changes in the Work may include, but are not limited to directed or authorized changes according to the applicable portions of Sections 104.02, 108.05, and 109.05 of the Specifications. The Contractor shall submit along with his/her request a prospective Schedule Impact Analysis (SIA) to substantiate the request for modification of the Contract according to this provision and the applicable portions of Sections 104.02, 108.05, and 109.05 of the Specifications.

2. Impacts Due to Unanticipated Changes or Delays: When the Contractor

discovers or encounters previously unknown or unanticipated changes in the Work or conditions, or a delay event that he believes will impact progress of the Work or completion of the project, the Contractor shall notify the Engineer in writing within two (2) working days of such discovery or encounter. Such changes in the Work or conditions or delay events may include, but are not limited to unusually severe weather, extraordinary or catastrophic weather events, errors or omissions in the Contract; or differing site conditions or utility delays according to the applicable portions of Sections 104.03 and 105.08 of the Specifications. The Contractor shall then gather all available pertinent information and data necessary to determine how such change in the Work or condition will impact progress of the Work or completion of the project. The Contractor and the Department shall promptly meet to evaluate the scope and potential impact of such change or condition to allow the Engineer to make a timely decision on how to proceed, as well as to determine how the impact of such change or condition can be avoided or mitigated. The Engineer may direct the Contractor to submit a SIA prior to proceeding with the work affected by such change, condition, or delay, in which case the

Contractor shall submit in writing within seven (7) calendar days after receipt of the Engineer’s direction, a request for modification of the Contract and a prospective SIA to substantiate the request for modification of the Contract. Otherwise, the Contractor shall submit in writing a request for modification of the Contract and a contemporaneous SIA to substantiate the request for modification of the Contract. The request for modification of the Contract and SIA shall be submitted within fourteen (14) calendar days of completion of the changed work or work directly impacted by such condition, or the cessation date of the delay event, or as approved by the Engineer.

3. Unresolved Impacts: When the Contractor believes he is entitled to a time extension and/or additional compensation for an unresolved impact to the Work that is attributable to a cause beyond the control of and without the fault, negligence, or responsibility of the Contractor or those for whom the Contractor is responsible, the Contractor shall submit for the Engineer’s review and approval, a request for modification of the Contract and a retrospective SIA to substantiate the request for modification of the Contract. Such impacts may involve, but are not limited to changes authorized by either Force Account Work or Unilateral Work Order, or other changes for which the scope of the change or magnitude of the impact could not be determined or mutually agreed to at the time the change was authorized or the delay event or changed condition was encountered.

The Contractor’s notice of a change, a subsequent meeting with the Engineer, or submittal of a request for modification of the Contract as defined herein, shall not constitute a notice of intent to file a claim as required by Section 105.19. No part of this provision is intended to alter, replace, or supersede Section 105.19 of the Specifications. The Contractor must adhere to Section 105.19 as well as this provision to preserve their rights to file a claim.

B. Schedule Impact Analysis (SIA) – The SIA submission shall include a SIA schedule and a written SIA statement as well as supporting data and such information necessary for the Department to make an adequate and timely evaluation of any time-related request received from the Contractor for modification of the Contract. The SIA submission shall consist of the following: 1. A SIA schedule, as specified herein, which shall depict the schedule impact of

the change in the Work or condition or delay event based on the currently accepted Progress Schedule Update, submitted prior to the earlier of the date the change in the Work was authorized or the changed condition or delay event was encountered. If the most recently submitted Progress Schedule Update is unacceptable, then the Engineer will evaluate the request based on the previously accepted Progress Schedule Update. In which case, the Contractor shall update the previously accepted Progress Schedule Update to show the actual progress of the Work to date as of the earlier of the date the change in the Work was authorized or the changed condition or delay event was encountered. The SIA schedule shall:

a) Be based on the “Time Impact Analysis (TIA)” or “Contemporaneous Schedule Analysis” method as determined by the Engineer, to determine the status of the currently accepted Progress Schedule Update before and after the change in the Work or condition or delay event.

b) Show a fragnet (fragmentary network of added or changed activities)

representing the added work, changed work or condition, or delay

event(s). The fragnet activities shall be logically linked to the affected activities to show the direct impact on the work.

c) Show the current status of the completed and on-going activities as of

the date the change in the Work was authorized or the changed condition was encountered or the delay event started.

d) Depict the schedule impact by showing a comparison between the

impacted Progress Schedule Update and the most recently accepted Progress Schedule Update with a data date closest to and prior to the earlier of the date the change in the Work was authorized or the changed condition or delay event was encountered.

e) Depict the overall impact on the project critical path, Contract interim

milestone(s), other significant dates, and the Contract fixed completion date, as applicable.

2. A written SIA statement to:

a) Describe the type, cause, and scope of the added work, changed work or

condition, or delay event. b) Provide sequence and timing of events and/or actions by all involved

parties relating to the change or delay. c) Describe the particular operations affected as well as identify by Activity

ID and Activity Name the activities that are directly impacted. d) Describe the impact on the critical path, total float, Contract interim

milestone(s), other significant dates, or the Contract fixed completion date, as applicable.

e) Include a comparative analysis report relative to the currently accepted

Progress Schedule Update to identify all changes made to the impacted Progress Schedule.

f) Identify any actions taken and/or needed to avoid or mitigate the delay or

the effects of the delay.

Approval or rejection of the SIA by Engineer shall be made within ten (10) business days after receipt of the SIA, unless subsequent meetings and negotiations are necessary, as determined by the Engineer. Upon approval by the Engineer, the Contractor shall incorporate the SIA into the Progress Schedule and shall submit the impacted Progress Schedule as a Progress Schedule Update or Revised Progress Schedule as directed by the Engineer. If appropriate, the approved SIA shall be used to substantiate any request for a time extension or time-related damages or additional compensations, according to the applicable portions of Sections 104.02, 104.03, 105.08, 108.04, and 109.05 of the Specifications.

IV. DETAILED REQUIREMENTS FOR PROGRESS SCHEDULE SUBMISSIONS A. Progress Schedule – The Progress Schedule shall conform to the following

requirements:

1. Software Compatibility Requirements: The Contractor shall submit his/her Progress Schedule in the Primavera proprietary exchange format (XER) to ensure compatibility with the Department’s scheduling software system. The Department’s scheduling software system is the latest version of Primavera’s Project Management software (currently P6 version 6.2). Compatible shall mean that the Contractor-provided electronic file versions of the schedule can be imported into the Department’s scheduling software system with no modifications, preparation or adjustments. For projects that are included in a multi-contract mega-project, the Contractor shall prepare and maintain his/her Progress Schedule in the Department’s scheduling software system. At the Contractor’s request, secured access via the internet may be granted to allow the Contractor to develop and maintain his/her Progress Schedule in the Department’s scheduling software system. The Progress Schedule shall be submitted according to Section V.

2. Software Settings: If Primavera (P6) or equivalent scheduling software with

similar features is used to prepare the Progress Schedule, the Contractor shall define the project attributes and schedule calculation options according to the software settings detail requirements defined in the VDOT Post-award Scheduling Guide.

3. Work Breakdown Structure (WBS): The Baseline Progress Schedule shall be

organized using a multi-level hierarchical Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). The Contractor shall define a project WBS to allow for a hierarchical organization and breakdown of the Work based on the Contractor’s approach and according to the phasing/sequence of construction and traffic control plans as specified in the Contract or as approved by the Engineer.

4. Activity Codes: The Contractor shall define and assign as appropriate, activity

codes to allow for filtering, grouping, and sorting of activities by Responsibility, Phase, Stage, Feature of Work, Area, Location, Work Type, Crew, and Contract Modification activity codes to facilitate review and use of the Progress Schedule. If Primavera (P6) or equivalent scheduling software with similar features is used to prepare the Progress Schedule, the Contractor shall define activity codes using the project-specific activity codes option. Use of global activity codes shall not be allowed and shall be grounds for rejecting the Progress Schedule submission. Project-specific activity codes shall be defined and assigned according to the detail requirements defined in the VDOT Post-award Scheduling Guide.

5. Calendars: The Contractor shall define and assign as appropriate, project-

specific calendar to each activity to indicate when the activity can be performed. If Primavera (P6) or equivalent scheduling software with similar features is used to prepare the Progress Schedule, the Contractor shall define the project calendars using the project-specific option. The project calendars shall indicate, as applicable, the standard working hours per day, standard working days per week, and non-work days such as week-ends, holidays, weather days, local events, environmental, time-of-year restrictions, etc. Use of global calendars shall not be allowed and shall be grounds for rejecting the Progress Schedule submission. The project-specific calendars shall be defined according to the detail requirements defined in the VDOT Post-award Scheduling Guide.

6. Level of Detail: The Contractor shall develop the Progress Schedule to an

appropriate level of detail that allows for the formation of a reasonable critical path. The Progress Schedule shall show as applicable, Contract milestones and other key milestones for significant project events. The Progress Schedule shall

also show, as applicable, administrative, procurement, MOT, work to be performed by other involved parties, discrete work activities to indicate the type of operation and location of the work, and other necessary time-based tasks required for completion of the project. The Work shall be sub-divided as practical, to such a level that the activity durations for on-site work excluding, activities whose durations are specified elsewhere in the Contract, are twenty (20) workdays or less. Longer durations may be allowed, as approved by the Engineer, for activities that typically span long periods of time such as fabrication and delivery of materials, administrative, MOT, or other such level of effort activities.

7. Network Logic: The Progress Schedule network logic shall be based on the

Precedence Diagram Method (PDM) and shall show the order and inter-dependence of the activities and the sequence in which the Contractor proposes to accomplish the Work. The Contractor shall apply the Critical Path Method (CPM) of network calculation to generate the Progress Schedule. The project critical path shall be based on the “Longest Path”. The Progress Schedule network logic shall be developed according to the detail requirements defined in the VDOT Post-award Scheduling Guide.

8. Schedule Constraints: All Contract milestone activities shall be constrained, as

applicable, with a “Start On or After” (Early Start) date or “Finish On or Before” (Late Finish) date equal to the “Start No Earlier Than” or “Must Finish By” date specified in the Contract, except as specified below. The Contractor’s use of schedule constraints with the exception of the specific requirements defined below is not allowed, unless approved by the Engineer. The use of schedule constraints such as “Start On” or “Finish On” for the purpose of manipulating float or the use of schedule constraints that violate network logic such “Mandatory Start” or “Mandatory Finish” will not be allowed. When a schedule constraint is used, other than the schedule constraints specified herein, the Contractor shall provide explanation for the use of such constraint in the Progress Schedule or Progress Schedule Narrative.

9. Data Date: The data date is defined as the current status date of the Progress

Schedule, which defines the start date for the scheduled remaining Work. All Progress Schedule submissions shall be calculated using an appropriate data date to indicate the status of the project at the time the Progress Schedule is submitted.

a) For the Preliminary, Baseline, or subsequent Revised Progress Schedule submission, the data date shall be no more than five (5) business days prior to the submittal date.

b) For the monthly Progress Schedule Update submissions the data date

shall be the Contractor’s monthly progress estimate date as defined in Section 109.08(a) of the Specifications.

10. Total Float: This section is intended to apply only to considerations of Contract

time extension requests relative to available total float. Considerations for other time-related impacts, if any, are covered in other Sections of the Specifications. Any request for a Contract time extension will be evaluated, according to Section 108.04, based on the critical path and available total float. Total float is defined as the amount of time, typically expressed in days (number of workdays or calendar days depending on the assigned calendar), that an activity can be delayed without extending the completion date of a related Contract interim milestone or the project, as applicable. Except as specified herein, total float shall

be calculated, as applicable, relative to a constrained Contract interim milestone date or the Contract fixed completion date specified in the Contract or a subsequent Work Order. With the exception of A+B based Contracts, any float available in the Progress Schedule, at any time, shall be considered project float and is not for the exclusive use or benefit of either the Department or the Contractor. It shall be understood by the Contractor and the Department that float is a shared commodity and either party has the right to full use of any available float. Until such time that all available float is depleted, the project float shall be used responsibly in the best interest of the project and in a manner that best serves the timely completion of the Work by either a specified Contract interim milestone or the Contract fixed completion date, as applicable. For A+B based Contracts for which the Contractor bids the Contract time and/or Contract interim milestone(s), any float on a critical activity or activities on the critical path shall belong to the Contractor and any float on non-critical activities or activities not on the critical path shall belong to the project and shall be considered available project float for use by either the Department or the Contractor for the benefit of the project. The Contractor shall not modify the Progress Schedule at any time for the purpose of manipulating float. Negative float conditions will not be allowed in the Preliminary, Baseline, or Revised Progress Schedule.

11. Progress Schedule Update: The Progress Schedule Update shall reflect the actual status of the Work and the current plan to complete the remaining work as of the current data date. It shall show the actual start/finish dates for each completed activity and the actual start date, remaining duration, and progress (percent complete) of each on-going activity. The Progress Schedule Update shall allow for an accurate determination of progress of completed and on-going work based on total actual cost (earnings) to date; as well as an accurate projection of the anticipated monthly earnings for the remaining work based on remaining cost. The Progress Schedule Update shall be based on the most recently accepted Progress Schedule and shall be prepared according to the detail requirements defined in the VDOT Post-award Scheduling Guide.

B. Progress Schedule Narrative – As specified in Section II of this provision, a Baseline

Progress Schedule Narrative shall be submitted with the Baseline Progress Schedule submission and a Progress Schedule Update Narrative shall be submitted with the Progress Schedule Update submission. The Progress Schedule Narrative shall be prepared according to the following:

1. Baseline Progress Schedule Narrative: The Baseline Progress Schedule

Narrative shall include the following written information:

VI. FAILURE TO SUBMIT PROGRESS SCHEDULES The Engineer will take necessary actions according to the following for failure on the part of the Contractor to submit the required Progress Schedules:

1. If the Contractor fails to submit his/her complete Preliminary Progress Schedule

at least two (2) business days prior to the Scheduling Conference, the Contractor shall not commence Work, with the exception of project start-up activities such as submittals, mobilization, surveying, construction access and signage, erosion and sedimentation controls, etc., until after seven (7) calendar days from the date the Contractor submits his/her complete Preliminary Progress Schedule, unless otherwise approved in writing by the Engineer.

2. If the Contractor fails to submit his/her complete Baseline Progress Schedule

within thirty (30) calendar days after the NTP date or as approved by the Engineer, the Engineer will delay approval of the Contractor’s next monthly progress estimate following the due date of the Baseline Progress Schedule until such time as the Contractor has satisfied the submittal requirements.

3. If the Progress Schedule submission is deemed unacceptable by the Engineer;

and the Contractor fails to submit an acceptable Progress Schedule within fourteen (14) calendar days after the Engineer’s request, the Engineer will delay approval of the Contractor’s next monthly progress estimate following the due date of the Progress Schedule until such time as the Contractor has satisfied the submittal requirements.

4. If the Contractor fails to provide a Progress Schedule Update or if a Revised

Progress Schedule is required as specified herein and the Contractor fails to provide such a Progress Schedule, the Engineer will delay approval of the Contractor’s next monthly progress estimate following the due date of the Progress Schedule until such time as the Contractor has satisfied the submittal requirements.

5. If the Contractor fails to provide an acceptable Final As-built Progress Schedule

as specified, the Engineer will delay approval for payment of the Contractor’s final progress estimate until such time as the Contractor has satisfied the submittal requirements.

Please note: Delays resulting from the Contractor’s failure to provide the Progress Schedule according to the requirements set forth herein will not be considered just cause for extension of the Contract time limit or for additional compensation.

VII. REVIEW AND ACCEPTANCE

The Engineer will review all Progress Schedule submissions within fourteen (14) calendar days of receipt of the Contractor’s complete submittal, unless subsequent review meetings are necessary, as determined by the Engineer. The Engineer’s review for acceptance will not commence until all required submittal items and schedule information as defined herein are provided. Acceptance by the Engineer will be based only on completeness and conformance with the Contract. If the Contractor’s Progress Schedule submission is deemed to be acceptable, the Engineer will respond with a written notice of acceptance, which may include comments or minor concerns on the submission and/or a request for clarification or justification. When the Engineer’s response include any comments, concerns, or request for clarification or justification, the Contractor shall respond accordingly within seven (7) calendar days of receipt of the Engineer’s response. The Contractor’s response may include a resubmission of the Progress Schedule to address the Engineer’s comments or concerns or provide clarification or justification accordingly. If the Contractor’s Progress Schedule submission is deemed to be unacceptable, the Engineer will issue a written notification of non-conformance, which will include a request for resubmission and comments describing the deficiencies prompting the Engineer’s decision. At the Engineer’s discretion, the Contractor may be required to attend a schedule review meeting to discuss the issues prompting the Engineer’s decision or to facilitate review and acceptance of the Progress Schedule submission. When the Progress Schedule submission is deemed by the Engineer to be unacceptable, the Contractor shall revise and re-submit the Progress Schedule submission accordingly, within seven (7) calendar days of receipt of the Engineer’s response. Review and acceptance by the Engineer will not constitute a waiver of any Contract requirements and will in no way assign responsibilities of the work plan, scheduling assumptions, and validity of the schedule to the Department. Failure of the Contractor to include in the Progress Schedule any element of work required by the Contract for timely completion of the project will not excuse the Contractor from completing the Work within the Contract specified interim milestone(s) or the Contract time limit, as applicable.

VIII. MONITORING THE WORK AND ASSESSING PROGRESS A. Monitoring the Work – The Engineer will monitor the Work regularly to identify

deviations from the Contractor’s scheduled performance relative to the SOR. The Contractor shall notify the Engineer at least two (2) working days in advance of any changes in the Contractor’s planned operations or critical stage work requiring Department oversight or inspection. The Contractor shall attend a monthly progress schedule meeting with the Engineer on a day agreed to by the Contractor and the Engineer. The Contractor shall furnish his/her detailed 30-day look-ahead schedule at the progress meeting and shall be prepared to discuss the current status of the Work and planned operations for the following thirty (30) calendar days. The 30-day look-ahead schedule shall be based on the Contractor’s current monthly Progress Schedule Update.

B. Progress Evaluation – Progress will be evaluated by the Engineer at the time of the

monthly progress estimate relative to the SOR. The Contractor’s actual progress will be considered unsatisfactory if any one of the following conditions occurs: 1. The actual total earnings to date percentage for work completed, based on the

Contractor’s progress payment estimate, falls behind the SOR planned

cumulative earnings percentage by more than ten (10) percentage points. If the Progress Earnings Schedule is based on a cost-loaded Progress Schedule, then the unsatisfactory progress threshold will be based on falling behind the SOR planned cumulative late dates earnings percentage. Payments for Stored Materials, Materials on Hand, or Adjustments (asphalt, fuel, etc.) shall not be included in the actual progress earnings.

2. The calculated completion date of a Contract interim milestone is later than the

specified completion date by more than fourteen (14) calendar days. 3. The calculated project completion date is later than the Contract fixed completion

date by more than thirty (30) calendar days.

C. Progress Deficiency and Schedule Slippage – When the Contractor’s actual progress is trending toward unsatisfactory status, the Engineer will request a meeting with the Contractor to discuss any actions taken or required by the Contractor to reverse this trend and to correct the progress deficiency or schedule slippage. When the Contractor’s actual progress is deemed unsatisfactory as defined by any one of the conditions listed under Progress Evaluation of this provision, the Engineer will issue a written notice of unsatisfactory performance to advise the Contractor that five (5) percent retainage of the monthly progress estimate is being withheld and will continue to be withheld as described in Section 109.08(c), for each month the Contractor’s actual progress is determined to be unsatisfactory, unless there is a pending decision by the Engineer on a request for modification of the Contract for which the Contractor has previously provided documentation as required. When the Contractor fails to respond with good faith efforts as described herein to restore satisfactory progress, the Engineer will issue a notice to indicate that he may recommend the Contractor be temporarily disqualified from bidding on Contracts with the Department as described in Section 102.08 of the Specifications, if progress remains unsatisfactory at the time of preparation of the next monthly progress estimate following the Engineer’s notice. Prior to recommendation for removal from the list of pre-qualified bidders, the Engineer will allow the Contractor fourteen (14) calendar days from the date of the unsatisfactory performance notice to respond. Such “good faith” efforts shall be provided in sufficient detail to allow the Engineer to fully evaluate the Contractor’s plans for recovery. As an example of good faith efforts, the Contractor may submit to the Engineer, a proposed recovery plan in the form of a Progress Schedule Update and a written statement to describe the Contractor’s proposed actions and timeframe to correct the progress deficiency or schedule slippage. The Contractor may also submit to the Engineer a written explanation and supporting documentation to establish that such delinquency was attributable to conditions beyond his/her control. Any schedule adjustments resulting from a recovery plan will be reviewed according to Section VII, but the modified Progress Schedule Update shall not replace the current SOR. When the Engineer determines the Contractor’s progress is again satisfactory the five (5) percent retainage previously withheld will be released to the Contractor according to the provisions of Section 109.08 (c) of the Specifications. If the Contractor is temporarily disqualified from bidding on Contracts with the Department, the Contractor will not be reinstated until either the Engineer deems that his/her progress has improved to the extent that the Work can be completed within the Contract time limit or the project has received final acceptance according to the provisions of Section 108.09.

IX. MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT Required Progress Schedule submissions will be measured and paid for according to the following: A. Basis of Payment – Progress payments will be made according to the following:

1. Progress payments for the Baseline Progress Schedule pay item will be made as

follows:

a) A twenty-five (25) percent of the Contract bid item lump sum amount will be made upon acceptance of the Preliminary Progress Schedule submission.

b) A seventy-five (75) percent of the Contract bid item lump sum amount

will be made upon acceptance of the Baseline Progress Schedule submission. When a Baseline Progress Schedule is provided in lieu of a Preliminary Progress Schedule, a payment of one hundred (100) percent of the Contract bid item lump sum amount will be made upon acceptance of the Baseline Progress Schedule submission.

2. Progress payments for the Progress Schedule Update pay item will be made as

follows:

a) Progress payments of one each (1 EA) at the Contract bid item unit price will be made upon acceptance of the Progress Schedule Update submission.

b) A Revised Progress Schedule may be required in lieu of and paid for

upon acceptance as a Progress Schedule Update, as determined by the Engineer. When a Revised Progress Schedule is required by the Engineer, in addition to a regular Progress Schedule Update submission, progress payments of one each (1 EA) at the Contract bid item unit price will be made under the pay item for Progress Schedule Updates upon acceptance of the Revised Progress Schedule submission.

c) Upon approval, the SIA shall be incorporated into the Progress Schedule

Update or Revised Progress Schedule, as directed by the Engineer, and paid for as a Progress Schedule Update. When a SIA is required in addition to a regular Progress Schedule Update submission, progress payment of one each (1 EA) at the Contract bid item unit price will be made upon approval under the pay item for Progress Schedule Update.

d) Progress payments of one each (1 EA) at the Contract unit price will be

made upon acceptance of the Final As-built Schedule submission.

3. No separate measurement and payment will be made for attendance of the Scheduling Conference, progress meetings or other schedule related meetings. All costs associated with attendance of the scheduling meetings will be considered incidental.

B. Payment Items – Payments for all associated costs to attend schedule meetings,

prepare, update, revise, and/or furnish the Progress Schedule will made under the following pay items:

ASPHALT MATERIAL PRICE ADJUSTMENT

January 5, 2016; Reissued July 12, 2016

All asphalt material contained in the attached master listing of eligible bid items and designated by pay items in the contract will be price adjusted according to the provisions as set forth herein. Other items will not be adjusted, except as otherwise specified in the contract. If new pay items which contain asphalt material are established by Work Order, they will not be subject to Price Adjustment unless specifically designated in the Work Order to be subject to Price Adjustment. Each month, the Department will publish an average state-wide PG 64S-22 f.o.b. price per ton and an average PG 64E-22 f.o.b. price per ton developed from the average terminal prices provided to the Department from suppliers of asphalt cement to contractors doing work in Virginia. The Department will collect terminal prices from approximately 12 terminals each month. These prices will be received once each month from suppliers on or about the last weekday of the month. The high and low prices will be eliminated and the remaining values averaged to establish the average statewide price for the following month. The monthly state-wide average price will be posted on the Construction Division website on or about the first weekday of the following month. In the event the average prices were to change by 10 percent or more of the Base Index during the middle of the month the Contractor can submit a letter to the Department and supplier that provides evidence of the difference in price. Upon receipt of the letter consideration will be given to extend additional adjustments as deemed necessary. This monthly statewide average price will be the Base Index for all contracts on which bids are received during the calendar month of its posting and will be the Current Index for all asphalt placed during the calendar month of its posting. In the event an index changes radically from the apparent trend, as determined by the Engineer, the Department may establish an index which it determines to best reflect the trend. The amount of adjustment applied will be based on the difference between the contract Base Index and the Current Index for the applicable calendar month during which the work is performed. The quantity of asphalt cement for asphalt concrete pavement to which adjustment will be applied will be the quantity based on the percent of asphalt cement shown on the appropriate approved job mix formula. Adjustment of any asphalt material other than PG 64S-22 and PG 64E-22 will be based on the indexes for PG 64S-22. The quantity of asphalt emulsion for surface treatments to which adjustment will be applied will be the quantity based on 65 percent residual asphalt. Price adjustment will be shown as a separate entry on the monthly progress estimate; however, such adjustment will not be included in the total cost of the work for progress determination or for extension of contract time. Any apparent attempt to unbalance bids in favor of items subject to price adjustment or failure to submit required cost and price data as noted hereinbefore may result in rejection of the bid proposal.

PRICE ADJUSTMENT FOR STEEL

June 15, 2015; Reissued July 12, 2016 The Department will adjust monthly progress payments up or down as appropriate for cost changes in steel used on specific items of work identified in the Contract according to this provision. This Special Provision provides a master listing of standard bid items the Department has determined are eligible for steel price adjustment. An automatically generated project-specific listing of standard bid items the Department has identified as eligible for steel price adjustment is included with the bidding proposal. Only items on this listing will be eligible for steel price adjustment. Generally, non-standard pay items will not be eligible for steel price adjustment unless such steel items are project-specific modifications of items normally eligible, are clearly and specifically identified by a separate and distinct steel pay item and the quantities present on the project constitute major items of the work. These items may be addressed by project specific provisions and their related pay items designated as being eligible in the bid proposal. Items eligible for steel price adjustment for a particular project will be shown on Form C-21C “Bid Items Eligible for Steel Price Adjustment” and included with the bidding documents. The Bidder may choose to have steel price adjustment applied to any, all or none of the eligible items shown on Form C-21C. The Bidder’s selection of items for steel price adjustment or non-selection (non-participation) may not be changed once he has submitted Form C-21C to the Department The Contractor shall use Form C-21C to submit to the State Contract Engineer, no later than 15 calendar days after the date of Contract Award letter, those pay items he chooses to have steel price adjustment applied on. Items the Contractor chooses for steel price adjustment must be designated by writing the word “Yes” in the column titled “Option” by each bid item chosen for adjustment. The Contractor’s designations on Form C-21C must be written in ink or typed, and signed by the Contractor to be considered complete. Items not properly designated, or designated with “No” or left blank on the Contractor’s C-21C “Bid Items Eligible for Steel Price Adjustment” form will automatically not be considered for adjustment. No steel items will be eligible for steel price adjustment on this project if the Contractor fails to return his Form C-21C on time. Please note: Inventoried materials from the listing of eligible items are specifically excluded for consideration. Items from the listing of eligible items for which the Contractor has requested payment as Material on Hand according to Section 109.09 are also specifically excluded for consideration past the delivery date to the fabricator. This provision also does not allow for price adjustment for embedded steel where the steel item is a component of the finished bid item and there is no separate or distinct payment for the steel item or for steel used for pre-tensioned or post-tensioned precast components where furnishing steel is included in the unit price of the finished bid item. This provision shall apply only to material cost changes that occur between the date of the receipt of bids by the Department and the date the material is shipped to the fabricator. The Contractor, subcontractor and/or supplier are required to place their purchase order for the steel items designated in this contract for price adjustment within 30 calendar days after the date of execution of this contract with the Department. The timeliness of the Contractor’s response is also to ensure the receipt of such items in a timely manner that shall not adversely affect his progress schedule or contract completion date. The items shall further be specifically stored, labeled, or tagged, recognizable by color marking, and identifiable by project for inspection and audit verification immediately upon arrival at the fabricator. The Contractor shall submit documentation to the appropriate District Construction Engineer for all items listed in the Contract for which it is requesting a steel price adjustment. This documentation shall consist of material price quotes, bid papers, or other similar type of documentation satisfactory to the


Department, and support the completion of the form establishing the average price per pound for the eligible steel bid item. The Contractor must use the format as shown with this provision; no other format for presenting this information will be permitted. The Contractor shall certify that all items of documentation are original and were used in the computation of the amount bid for the represented eligible pay items for the month bids were opened. This documentation shall support the base line material price (“Base Price”) of the steel item only. No adjustment will be made for changes in other components of the contract unit bid price, including, but not limited to, fabrication, shipping, storage, handling, and erection. The Contractor will not be eligible for price adjustment of steel items if he fails to submit specifically required information (i.e., purchase order, price data, bill of lading, material information or other requested information) as noted herein. Price adjustment of each qualifying item will only be considered if there is an increase or decrease in the cost of eligible steel materials in excess of 10 percent up to a maximum of 60 percent from the Base Price when compared with the latest published price index (“Price Index”) in effect at the time material is shipped to the fabricator.

The Price Index the Department is using is based on The U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Producers Price Index (PPI), which measures the average price change over time of the specific steel eligible item from the perspective of the seller of goods. The specific Producers Price Index (PPI) to be used to adjust the price for the eligible VDOT steel items is shown in the table below. Please note: The Producers Price Index (PPI) is subject to revision 4 months after original publication, therefore, price adjustments and payments will not be made until the index numbers are finalized.

Items under consideration for price adjustment will be compared to the steel category index items and the corresponding I.D. numbers shown in the table attached to the end of this provision. The price adjustment will be determined by comparing the percentage of change in index value beyond 10 percent above or below the index on the bid date to the index value on the date the steel material is shipped to the fabricator (Please see included sample examples). Weights and date of shipment must be documented by a bill of lading provided to the Department. The final price adjustment dollar value will be determined by multiplying this percent increase or decrease in the index (after 10%) by the represented quantity of steel shipped, by the Base Price per pound subject to the limitations herein. Price increase/decrease will be computed as follows:

A = B x P x Q

Where; A = Steel price adjustment in lump sum dollars B = Average weighted price of steel submitted with bid on project in $

per pound P = Adjusted percentage change in PPI average from shipping date to

bid date minus 10% (0.10) threshold Q = Total quantity of steel in pounds shipped to fabricator for specific

project

Delays to the work caused by steel shortages may be justification for a contract time extension but will not constitute grounds for claims for standby equipment, extended office overhead, or other costs associated with such delays. The Engineer will determine, and specify in the Work Order, the need for application of the adjustments herein to extra work on an individual basis.

This price adjustment is capped at 60 percent. This means the maximum “P” value for increase or decrease that can be used in the above equation is 50% (60%-10% threshold). Calculations for price adjustment shall be shown separate from the monthly progress estimate and will not be included in the total cost of work for determination of progress or for extension of contract time. Any apparent attempt to unbalance bids in favor of items subject to price adjustment may result in rejection of the bid proposal.

† Includes ½ inch monolithic (integral) wearing surface. (1) Corrosive environment affects cover where concrete surface is in permanent contact with

corrosive soil. (2) Marine includes all locations with direct exposure to brackish and salt water. Bars that must be positioned by maintaining clearances from more than one face shall be centered so that clearances indicated by the plan dimension of bars are equalized. Bars shall be placed so that the concrete cover as indicated on the plans will be maintained within a tolerance of 0 to +1/2 inch in the finally cast concrete. Where anchor bolts interfere with reinforcing steel, the steel position shall be adjusted without cutting to permit placing anchors in their proper locations. Unless otherwise specified by the Engineer, Corrosion Resistant Reinforcement (CRR) in bridges shall be supported by steel bar supports except as noted below for plastic (composite) supports. Steel bar supports shall be corrosion resistant wire bar supports with the same composition as the CRR being supported or plastic-protected wire bar supports when stay-in-place forms are not used and the steel bar support will rest on the exposed surface of the concrete element (per CRSI Class 1 – Maximum Protection). Plastic-protected wire bar supports shall be epoxy-coated carbon (black) steel wire with plastic protection applied by dipping legs (i.e,, capping legs with premolded plastic tips is prohibited). Metal bar supports shall be epoxy-coated wire bar supports for the remaining cases (per CRSI Class 1A – Maximum Protection). Plastic (composite) chairs may be used to support CRR in precast concrete elements. Bright basic wire bar supports may be used to support carbon (black) steel (per CRSI Class 3 – No Protection). Precast concrete supports and plastic (composite) chairs may be used to support carbon (black) steel only in cast-in-place members cast directly on soil or rock where carbon (black) steel is used, such as footings and approach slabs. Side form spacers shall meet the same corrosion protection level as the bar supports. Steel bar supports for CRR shall be fabricated from cold-drawn carbon steel wire conforming to the CRSI corrosion protection class listed above for their specific use. Precast concrete bar supports shall have a 28-day design compressive strength of at least 4,500 pounds per square inch and shall be furnished with plastic ties or shaped to prevent slippage from beneath the reinforcing bar. Bar supports for CRR in bridge decks and slab spans shall be spaced as recommended by CRSI but not more than 4 feet apart transversely or longitudinally. The mat of steel reinforcement closest to the surface shall be supported by bolster supports or individual chair bar supports and intermediate and upper mats can be supported by individual high chair bar supports or continuous bar supports placed between mats. When the upper mat is supported by the bottom mat (e.g., using continuous bar supports placed between mats), all the bar supports shall be spaced as recommended by CRSI but not more than 3 feet apart transversely or longitudinally. Bar supports shall be firmly stabilized so as not to displace under construction activities. Standees (a bar bent to a U-shape with 90 degree bent legs extending in opposite directions at right angles to the U-bend acting as a high chair resting on a lower mat of reinforcing bars to support an upper mat) may be used on simple slab spans provided they hold the reinforcing steel to the requirements specified herein and are firmly tied to the lower mat to

prevent slippage. The use of standees will not be permitted for the top mat of steel on any continuous slab spans. In reinforced concrete sections or elements other than bridge decks and slab spans, the specified clear distance from the face of concrete to any reinforcing bar and the specified spacing between bars shall be maintained by means of approved types of stays, ties, hangers, or other supports adhering to the CRSI corrosion protection classes and specific uses listed above. The use of pieces of gravel, stone, brick, concrete, metal pipe, or wooden blocks will not be permitted as supports or spacers for reinforcing steel. The clear distance between bars shall be at least 1 1/2 times the specified maximum size of coarse aggregate but not less than 1 1/2 inches. Before concrete is placed, the Engineer will inspect reinforcing steel and determine approval for proper position and the adequacy of the method for maintaining position.

(e) Splicing and Lapping: Reinforcement shall be furnished in full lengths as indicated on the plans. Except where shown on the plans, splicing bars will not be permitted without the written approval of the Engineer. Splices shall be as far apart as possible. In lapped splices, bars shall be placed in contact and wired together. Lap lengths shall be as indicated on the plans. When reinforcing bars cannot be fabricated with the lengths shown on the plans, the bars may be lapped at no additional cost to the Department. Lap lengths shall be in accordance with the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications. Mechanical butt splicing will be permitted at locations shown on the plans. The mechanical connection shall develop in tension or compression, as required, 125 percent of the specified yield strength of the bar. The total slip of the bar within the splice sleeve of the connector after loading in tension to 30.0 ksi and relaxing to 3.0 ksi shall not exceed the following measured displacements between the gage points clear of the splice sleeve:

For bar sizes up to No. 14: 0.01 inch For No. 18 bars : 0.03 inch

For corrosion resistant reinforcing bars, mechanical butt splicers shall be of the same material as the bars being spliced. Reinforcing steel shall be welded only if specified on the plans. Welding shall be in accordance with Section 407.04(a) of the Specifications. Reinforcing steel conforming to ASTM A615 Grade 60 shall not be welded. Corrosion resistant reinforcing steels shall not be welded. Lap lengths for welded wire fabric or bar mat reinforcement shall be in accordance with the current AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications.

406.04—Measurement and Payment Reinforcing steel will be measured in pounds of steel placed in the structure as shown on the plans. The weight of welded wire fabric will be computed from the theoretical weight per square yard placed, including allowance for laps not to exceed 8 percent of the net area. Reinforcing steel or welded wire fabric will be paid for at the contract unit price per pound. These prices shall include furnishing, fabricating, and placing reinforcement in the structure. In structures of reinforced concrete where there are no structural steel contract items, expansion joints, plates, rockers, bolts, and similar minor metal parts will be paid for at the contract unit price for reinforcement. Corrosion resistant reinforcing steel, when a pay item, will be measured in pounds and will be paid for at the contract unit price per pound of the designated class of steel indicated and placed in the structure in the location(s) shown on the plans. This price shall include fabricating, shipping, furnishing and placement.

No payment will be made for fastening or support devices that may be used by the Contractor for keeping reinforcing bars in their correct position. When the substitution of larger bars than those specified is allowed, payment will be made for only the amount of metal that would have been required if the specified size of bar had been used. When full-length bars are shown on the plans and the Contractor obtains approval to use short bars for convenience, the weight paid for will be based on the full-length dimensions with no allowance made for splices. Payment will be made under:

The Contractor shall be responsible for conducting site inspections according to the requirements herein. Site inspections shall include erosion, sediment control, and pollution prevention practices and facilities; all areas of the site disturbed by construction activity; all on-site support facilities; and all off site support facilities within VDOT right of way or easement. The Contractor shall document such inspections by completion of Form C-107, Construction Runoff Control Inspection Form, according to the directions contained within the form. Inspections shall be conducted using one of the following schedules: ● Schedule 1 - At least once every 7 calendar days (equivalent to the once every five

business days schedule in the VPDES General Permit for Discharge of Stormwater from Construction Activities) and within 48 hours following any measureable storm event. If a measureable storm event occurs when there are more than 48 hours between business days, the Contractor shall perform his inspection no later than the next business day. The Contractor shall install a rain gage at a central location on the project site for the purposes of determining the occurrence of a measureable storm event. Where the project is of such a length that one rain gage may not provide an accurate representation of the occurrence of a measurable storm event over the entire project site, the Contractor shall install as many rain gages as necessary to accurately reflect the amount of rainfall received over all portions of the project. The Contractor shall observe all rain gages no less than once each business day at the time prescribed in the SWPPP General Information Sheet notes in the construction plans or other contract documents to determine if a measureable storm event has occurred. The procedures for determining the occurrence of a measurable storm event are identified in the SWPPP General Information Sheet notes in the construction plans or other contract documents.

● Schedule 2 - At least each Monday and Thursday (equivalent to the once every four business days schedule in the VPDES General Permit for Discharge of Stormwater from Construction Activities). Where Monday or Thursday is a non-business day, the inspection may be performed on the next business day afterward. In no case shall the inspections be performed less than once every four business days.

The inspection schedule (1 or 2) is to be selected prior to the beginning of land disturbance. Once an inspection schedule is selected, it shall be defined in the appropriate note in the SWPPPP General Information Sheets contained in the construction plan set and shall be used for the duration of the project. A business day is defined as Monday through Friday excluding State holidays. A measurable storm event is defined as one producing 0.25 inches of rainfall or greater over a 24 hour time period. For those areas of the site that have been temporarily stabilized or where land disturbing activities have been suspended due to continuous frozen ground conditions and stormwater discharges are unlikely, the inspection schedule may be reduced to once per month. If weather conditions (such as above freezing temperatures or rain or snow events) make stormwater discharges likely, the Contractor shall immediately resume the regular inspection schedule. Those definable areas where final stabilization has been achieved will not require further inspections provided such areas have been identified in the project’s Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.

V. FIELD DEMONSTRATION OF THE TRIAL SHAFT:

When required on the plans, after the Drilled Shaft Installation Plan has been approved, a trial (nonproduction) drilled shaft(s) will be constructed to the dimension(s) and at the location(s) indicated in the plans or as directed by the Engineer. The trial drilled shaft must be constructed in identical manner as that proposed for the production shafts, including the method of installation, CSL tube installation and testing, steel reinforcement, and concreting. The diameter and depth of the trial drilled shaft shall be the maximum diameter and maximum depth of any the production drilled shafts shown on the plans unless otherwise directed by the Engineer. During the construction of the trial drilled shaft, the Contractor must demonstrate the adequacy of his Drilled Shaft Installation Plan.

Construction of the trial drilled shaft(s) will be used to determine if the Contractor’s methods, equipment, and proposed procedures are effective to produce a drilled shaft excavation and concreting that meet the requirements of the plans and specifications.

Failure by the Contractor to demonstrate to the Engineer the adequacy of methods and equipment shall be reason for the Engineer to require alterations in equipment and/or method by the Contractor to eliminate unsatisfactory results.

2. Quality Assurance for Low Permeability Concrete in Drilled Shafts

When required on the plans, testing for permeability shall be conducted and submitted as part of the concrete mix design required in IV.A. (m) Installation Plan. At least two trial batches, using job materials, with permissible combination of cementitious materials shall be prepared, and test specimens shall be cast by the Contractor and tested by the Department for permeability and strength at least a month before the field application. The permeability samples shall be cylindrical specimens with a 4-inch diameter and at least 4-inches in length. They shall be moist-cured as the strength cylinders for acceptance except that the last 3 weeks

of cure shall be at 100 degrees Fahrenheit � 10 degrees Fahrenheit. Cylinders

shall be tested at 28 days in accordance with VTM 112. The test value shall be the result of the average values of tests on two specimens from each batch.

Permeability values obtained from trial batches shall be 500 coulombs below the maximum values specified.

(c) Consistency of Concrete

Self-consolidating concrete (SCC) shall meet the requirements of regular concrete except that the slump requirement shall be waived. Instead the slump flow (ASTM C 1611) shall be measured, which is the diameter of the concrete spread. The slump flow shall be 23 ± 3 in. and there shall be no visible segregation in the spread. A visual stability index (VSI) value of 0 or 1 shall be acceptable; a value of 2 or 3 shall be rejected (ASTM C 1611). The Engineer shall be the sole authority in this determination. The slump flow shall be compared to slump flow with the J-Ring (ASTM C 1621) and the difference shall be 2 inches or less. Combined aggregate grading, workability retaining admixture, and viscosity modifying admixture (VMA) can be used. The Contractor shall perform all tests under the supervision of the Engineer, or a Department representative.

The Contractor shall demonstrate by documents indicating successful experience or by trial batching that satisfactory SCC can be produced that meets the specification requirements. A concrete technologist (such as the admixture supplier), experienced in the production of SCC and representing the contractor or the producer shall be present during placement. Concrete shall stay plastic and within the slump flow specified during the placement. Concrete placement will be conducted that air is not encapsulated and segregation is not occurring.

Ensure that drilled shaft concrete maintains a slump of 4 inches or more throughout the drilled shaft concrete elapsed time. Ensure that the slump loss is gradual as evidenced by slump loss tests described below. The concrete elapsed time is the sum of the mixing and transit time, the placement time and the time required for removal of any temporary casing that could cause the concrete to flow into the space previously occupied by the temporary casing.

Provide slump loss tests before drilled shaft concrete operations begin, demonstrating that the drilled shaft concrete maintains a slump of at least 4 inches throughout the drilled shaft concrete elapsed time. Perform slump loss testing of the drilled shaft mix using a laboratory acceptable to the Engineer.

(d) Slump Loss Test

Conduct the slump loss test as follows:

1) Batch the actual mix design at a slump flow of 20 to 23 inches and at the highest concrete temperature expected on the job, but no less than 60°F.

2) Batch at least 4 cu. yd. in a mixer truck. Begin timing the test when the mixing water is introduced into the mix.

3) After initial mixing, measure and record the slump, ambient and, concrete temperature and percent air. Ensure all concrete properties are within specifications.

4) Mix the concrete intermittently at agitation speed for 30 seconds every 15 minutes.

5) Measure and record the slump, ambient and concrete temperatures, and percent air after every second 15 minute interval until the slump is 3 ½ inches.

After batching, ensure that the concrete maintains a minimum slump of 4 inches throughout the drilled shaft concrete elapsed time as defined in section VI. A. (c) Paragraph 3.

(e) At least three concrete test cylinders shall be taken per load.

B. Reinforcing Steel

Deformed reinforcing bars shall comply with the size, spacing, dimension, and details shown on the plans and shall conform to ASTM A 615, Grade 60, and the requirements of Section 223 and 406 of the VDOT Road and Bridge Specifications.

Contractor may provide threaded mechanical reinforcing steel bar coupling devices meeting the requirements of Section 406.03(e) of the Specifications for the main longitudinal reinforcing steel bars. A wedge or crimp system may be used for the spiral reinforcing steel bars only.

C. Casing

Casing shall be steel, rigid, smooth, clean, watertight, and of ample strength to withstand both handling and driving stresses and to withstand pressure from concrete, the surrounding earth materials and water. The outside diameter of casing shall not be less than the specified size of the drilled shaft. The thickness of steel casings shall not be less than that specified in the plans. The dimensions are subject to American Pipe Institute tolerances applicable to regular steel pipe. When approved by the Engineer, the Contractor may elect to provide a casing larger in diameter than shown in the plans. All casing diameters shown on the plans refer to O.D. (outside dimension).

Casing pipe shall conform to ASTM A 252, Grade 2, for temporary and permanent applications. All casing, except permanent casing, shall be removed from drilled shaft excavations. Splices for permanent casing shall be welded in accordance with Section 407.04 of the VDOT Road and Bridge Specifications with no interior splice plates, producing a true and straight casing. All welding shall be in accordance with ANSI/AWS D1.1.

D. Crosshole Sonic Logging Tubes

Drilled shafts shall be equipped with access tubes for Crosshole Sonic Logging (CSL) tests at the locations shown in the plans and according to Section XV, of these Specifications. Access tubes for CSL testing shall be 2 inches I.D. schedule 40 steel pipe conforming to ASTM A 53, Grade A or B, Type E, F, or S. Pipes shall have a round, regular internal diameter, be free of defects or obstructions; including any defect at the pipe joints, to permit the free unobstructed passage of source and receiver probes. CSL probes should be 1.35 inches diameter or smaller and 6 to 10 inches long. Each tube or steel pipe shall be fitted with a watertight shoe onto the bottom and a removable cap at the top. Both, shoe and cap shall be watertight and free from corrosion, and the internal and external faces of the tubes clean to ensure passage of the probes and good bond with the concrete.

VII. CONSTRUCTION METHODS AND EQUIPMENT:

A. Protection of Existing Structures

All reasonable precautions shall be taken to prevent damage to existing structures and utilities in accordance with Sections 107.12 and 401.03 (g) of the Specifications. These measures shall include but are not limited to, vibration monitoring and subsidence control during driving of casing, sheets, or drilling.

B. Construction Sequence

Excavation to bottom of footing elevation shall be completed before shaft construction begins unless otherwise noted in the contract documents or approved by the Engineer. Any disturbance to the footing area caused by shaft installation shall be repaired by the Contractor prior to the footing pour.

When drilled shafts are to be installed in conjunction with embankment placement, the Contractor shall construct drilled shafts after the placement of fill unless shown otherwise in the contract documents or approved by the Engineer.

Drilled shafts, constructed prior to the completion of the fill, shall not be capped until the fill has been placed as near to final grade as possible, leaving only the necessary work room for construction of the caps.

C. General Methods and Equipment

1. General

The method used for drilled shaft installation shall be suitable for the intended purpose and materials encountered. The dry method, wet method, temporary casing method, or permanent casing method may be used as necessary to produce a sound and durable foundation free of defects. When a particular installation method is required in the Contract, that construction method shall be used. If no particular method is specified for use, the Contractor shall select and use one of the construction methods cited above, appropriate for the site conditions, to properly accomplish the work. The permanent casing method shall be used only when required in the Contract or authorized by the Engineer. The Contractor shall submit his selected method of construction in the Drilled Shaft Installation Plan described in Section IV herein to the Engineer for approval.

Where soil and groundwater conditions vary along the site, a combination of methods may be used, as a single method of construction may be not appropriate for the entire job site. The Contractor may propose alternative methods of drilled shaft installation in his Drilled Shaft Installation Plan as appropriate, or a contingency plan to change installation method when new conditions are encountered.

2. Dry Construction Method

The dry construction method shall be used only at sites where the ground water level and soil and rock conditions are suitable to permit construction of the shaft in a relatively dry excavation, and where the sides and bottom of the shaft may be visually inspected by the Engineer prior to placing the concrete. The dry method consists of drilling the shaft excavation, removing accumulated water and loose material from the excavation, placing the reinforcing cage, and concreting the shaft in a relatively dry excavation.

The dry construction method shall only be approved by the Engineer when the trial shaft excavation demonstrates that: less 12 inches of water accumulates above the base over a one hour period when no pumping is permitted; the sides and bottom of the hole remain stable without detrimental caving, sloughing or swelling throughout the drilled shaft concrete elapsed time (as defined in Section VI. A. (c) Paragraph 3) immediately following completion of excavation; and any loose material and water can be satisfactorily removed prior to inspection and prior to concrete placement. The Contractor shall use the wet construction method or the

casing construction method for shafts that do not meet the above requirements for the dry construction method.

3. Wet Construction Method

The wet construction method may be used at sites where a dry excavation cannot be maintained for placement of the shaft concrete. This method consists of using water or slurry (mineral or polymer) to maintain stability of the borehole perimeter while advancing the excavation to final depth, placing the reinforcing cage, and concreting the shaft. Where drilled shafts are located in open water areas, exterior casings shall be extended from above the water elevation into the ground to protect the shaft concrete from water action during placement and curing of the concrete. The exterior casing shall be installed in a manner that will produce a positive seal at the bottom of the casing so that no piping of water or other materials occurs into or from the shaft excavation.

The wet construction method may be used in combination with the dry method and temporary or permanent casing methods. The wet method may involve desanding and cleaning the slurry (for mineral slurries); final cleaning of the excavation by means of a bailing bucket, air lift, submersible pump or other approved devices; and placing the shaft concrete with a tremie or concrete pump beginning at the shaft bottom. Temporary surface casings should be provided to aid shaft alignment and position, and to prevent sloughing of the top of the shaft excavation, unless the Contractor demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Engineer that the surface casing is not required. When using the wet method all drilled shaft operations shall be accomplished while maintaining at least 5 feet of positive head of fluid above the water table.

4. Temporary Casing Construction Method

The temporary casing method shall be used when the dry or wet construction methods are inadequate to prevent hole caving or excessive deformation of the hole. In this method the casing may be either placed in a predrilled hole or advanced through the ground by twisting, driving or vibration before being cleaned out.

When the casing is placed in a predrilled borehole and the temporary stability of the hole is needed, drilling slurry shall be used. The slurry that is trapped in the annular space behind the casing must be forced out of that space by the rising column of fluid concrete as the casing is being pulled. The slurry used to stabilize a borehole temporarily prior to the placement of casing must satisfy all of the criteria of drilling slurry for the wet method of construction.

5. Permanent Casing Construction Method

The permanent casing method shall be used to construct drilled shafts through weak caving soils that do not contribute significantly to the drilled shaft shear capacity only when required in the plans or approved by the Engineer. In this method, before beginning the excavation, a permanent casing is installed to the projected depth by advancing it through the caving material by twisting, driving, or vibration. Unless specifically allowed by the plans, placement of permanent casing in an oversized hole or temporary casing outside the permanent casing beneath the ground surface will not be allowed. If full penetration of the permanent casing cannot be attained to the projected depth, excavate a selected depth inside the permanent casing, resume casing advancing, and repeat the process as necessary until the casing reaches the projected depth. Once the required elevation is reached, clean the excavation as indicated in XII of these specifications, lower the reinforcing cage, and concrete to completion.

VIII. EXCAVATION AND DRILLING EQUIPMENT:

The excavation and drilling equipment shall have adequate capacity, including power, torque and downthrust to excavate a hole of both the maximum diameter and to a depth of 20 percent beyond the depths shown on the plans or 15 feet whichever is greater.

The excavation and overreaming tools shall be of adequate design, size and strength to perform the work shown in the plans or described herein. When the material encountered cannot be drilled using conventional earth or rock augers and/or underreaming tools, the Contractor shall provide special drilling equipment, including but not limited to: rock core barrels, rock tools, air tools, and other equipment as necessary to construct the shaft excavation to the size and depth required. Blasting is not permitted to advance the excavation unless shown on the plans and specifications. Blasting for core removal is permitted when approved by the Engineer.

The Contractor shall stabilize all drilled shaft excavations with steel casing and/or fluid above the portions of the excavations in rock except as approved by the Engineer. Stabilize excavations at all times from the beginning of drilling through concrete placement. Provide casing or slurry in rock if unstable material is anticipated or encountered during drilling. When slurry is not used, do not leave a partially excavated shaft open overnight unless the excavation is cased to rock.

For the purposes of this special provision, “Rock” is defined as a continuous intact natural material in which the penetration rate with a rock auger is less than 2 inches per 5 minutes of drilling using a drill rig capable of applying a minimum 35,000 pounds of down pressure (Crowd) while turning the auger for diameters equal to or less than 48 inches in diameter and at least 50,000 pounds of down pressure (Crowd) for augers greater than 48 inches in diameter. Rock augers shall be equipped with carbide teeth in good condition while performing this test. This definition excludes discontinuous loose natural materials such as boulders and man-made materials such as concrete, steel, timber, etc.

When slurry is used, the Contractor shall adjust the excavation operations so that the maximum time the slurry is in contact with the sidewalls of the uncased portions of the drilled shaft excavation (from time of drilling to completing concrete placement) does not exceed 24 hours. The slurry shall be agitated in the drilled shaft excavations a minimum of every 4 hours. If the 24 hour time limit is exceeded, overream the drilled shaft excavation a minimum of 1 inch and a maximum of 3 inches, or as required by the Engineer, prior to performing other operations in the excavation. Overream with a grooving tool, overreaming bucket or other approved equipment at a minimum spacing of 12 inches. The Contractor bears all costs associated with both overreaming and additional shaft concrete placement at no additional cost to the Department. If concrete placement is not completed within three days of beginning drilling, enlarge the design drilled shaft diameter by a minimum of 6 inches, or as required by the Engineer, the entire length of the shaft at no additional cost to the Department. Enlarging the drilled shaft includes replacing the steel casing with steel casing the same size to which the drilled shaft is enlarged at no additional cost to the Department.

IX. EXCAVATIONS:

A. General

Shaft excavations shall be made at locations, shaft geometry and dimensions shown in the contract documents. The Contractor shall extend drilled shaft tip (base) elevations when the Engineer determines that the material encountered during excavation is unsuitable and/or differs from that anticipated in the design of the drilled shaft.

The Contractor shall maintain a construction method log during shaft excavation. The information recorded shall be as indicated in the “VDOT Excavation Form” provided by the Engineer. For each drilled shaft installed, record on the VDOT Excavation Form the location, dimensions, verticality,

slurry test data, description of the materials encountered at all elevations, drilling time, elevation of the water table during excavation and seepage, description of any change in excavated material, elevation of top and bottom of the finished shaft, depth to the rock bearing stratum, condition of the bottom of the excavation or rock bearing surface, deviation from plan location, concrete data, a description of the tools and drill rigs used and any changes necessitated by changing ground conditions and other pertinent data to the drilled shaft operations. Submit a draft of this form for each completed drilled shaft within 24 hours of shaft completion. Report any unusual observation to the Engineer as soon as possible.

The Contractor shall provide areas for the disposal of unsuitable materials and excess materials removed from drilled shaft excavations and shall dispose them in accordance with applicable requirements of Section 106.04 of the VDOT Road and Bridge Specifications.

The Contractor shall not permit any worker to enter the drilled shaft excavation for any reason unless: a suitable casing has been installed, the water level has been lowered and stabilized below the level to be occupied, and an adequate safety equipment and procedures have been provided to the personnel entering the excavation which includes OSHA certification for confined space entry.

B. Classified Excavation:

When designated in the contract documents, the Contractor shall perform classified excavation under standard and special excavation items. Obstruction removal shall be paid separately.

1. Standard Excavation

Standard excavation is excavation accomplished with conventional tools such as augers fitted with either soil or rock teeth, drilling buckets, and overreaming buckets attached to drilling equipment of the size, power, torque, and down thrust (crowd) approved for use by the Engineer after successful construction of a trial drilled shaft.

2. Special Excavation

Special excavation is an excavation that requires special tools and/or procedures to accomplish hole advancement. Special excavation is paid for excavation, except obstructions, below the depth where conventional tools and the approved drilling equipment, operating at maximum power, torque and down thrust, cannot advance the hole more than 2 inches in 5 minutes and coring, air tools, etc. are required to advance the excavation.

3. Probe Holes

When required on the plans at the completion of Special Excavation, drill a minimum 2 inch probe hole one and one half shaft diameters below the base of the excavation for examination with a feeler probe.

C. Obstructions:

Surface and subsurface obstructions at drilled shaft locations shall be removed by the Contractor. Such obstructions may include, but are not limited to, man-made materials such as old concrete foundations and natural materials such as boulders. Special procedures and/or tools shall be employed by the Contractor after the hole cannot be advanced using conventional augers, drilling buckets and/or underreaming tools. Such special procedures/tools may include but are not limited

to chisels, boulder breakers, core barrels, air tools, hand excavation, temporary casing, and increasing the hole diameter. Blasting shall not be permitted unless specifically approved by the Engineer.

D. Lost Tools

Drilling tools that are lost in the excavation shall not be considered obstructions and shall be promptly removed by the Contractor.

X. CASINGS

Casings shall be steel, smooth, clean, watertight, and of ample strength to withstand both handling and driving stresses and the pressure of both concrete and the surrounding earth materials. The outside diameter of casing shall not be less than the specified diameter of shaft, and the outside diameter of any excavation made below the casing shall not be less than the specified diameter of the shaft. No extra compensation will be allowed for concrete required to fill an oversized casing or oversized excavation. All casings, except permanent casings, shall be removed from shaft excavations. Any length of permanent casing installed below the shaft cutoff elevation, shall remain in place.

When the shaft extends above ground or through a body of water, the portion exposed above ground or through a body of water may be formed with removable casing except when the permanent casing is specified. Removable casing shall be stripped from the shaft in a manner that will not damage the concrete. Casings can be removed when the concrete has attained sufficient strength provided: curing of the concrete is continued for a 72-hour period; the shaft concrete is not exposed to salt water or moving water for 7 days; and the concrete reaches a compressive strength of at least 2500 psi, as determined from concrete cylinder breaks.

A. Temporary Casing

All subsurface casing shall be considered temporary unless specifically shown as permanent casing in the Contract. The Contractor shall be required to remove temporary casing before completion of concreting the drilled shaft. Telescoping, predrilling with slurry, and/or overreaming beyond the outside diameter of the casing may be required to install casing.

If the Contractor elects to remove a casing and substitute a longer or larger-diameter casing through caving soils, the excavation shall be either stabilized with slurry or backfilled before the new casing is installed. Other methods, as approved by the Engineer, may be used to control the stability of the excavation and protect the integrity of the foundation materials.

Before the casing is withdrawn, the level of fresh concrete in the casing shall be a minimum of 10 feet above either the hydrostatic water level in the formation or the level of drilling fluid in the annular space behind the casing, whichever is higher. As the casing is withdrawn, care shall be exercised to maintain an adequate level of concrete within the casing so that fluid trapped behind the casing is displaced upward and discharged at the ground surface without contaminating or displacing the shaft concrete.

Temporary casings which become bound or fouled during shaft construction and cannot be practically removed shall constitute a defect in the drilled shaft. The Contractor shall be responsible to improve defective shafts to the satisfaction of the Engineer. Such improvement may consist of, but is not limited to, removing the shaft concrete and extending the shaft deeper to compensate for loss of frictional capacity in the cased zone, providing straddle shafts to compensate for capacity loss, or providing a replacement shaft. All corrective measures including redesign of footings caused by defective shafts shall be done to the satisfaction of the Engineer by the Contractor

without either compensation or an extension of the completion date of the project. Additionally, no compensation will be paid for casing remaining in place.

B. Permanent Casing

Permanent casing shall be used when shown in the Contract. The casing shall be continuous between top and bottom elevations prescribed in the plans. After installation is complete, the permanent casing shall be cut off at the prescribed elevation and the shaft completed by installing necessary reinforcing steel and concrete in the casing.

In cases where special temporary casings are shown on the plans or authorized in writing by the Engineer to be used in conjunction with permanent casing, the Contractor shall maintain both alignment of the temporary casing with the permanent casing and a positive, watertight seal between the two casings during excavation and concreting operations.

XI. SLURRY:

Mineral or polymer slurries shall be employed when slurry is used in the drilling process unless other drilling fluids are approved by the Engineer. Mineral slurry shall have both a mineral grain size that will remain in suspension and sufficient viscosity and gel characteristics to transport excavated material to a suitable screening system. The percentage and specific gravity of the material used to make the mineral suspension shall be sufficient to maintain the stability of the excavation and to allow proper concrete placement.

In locations with hard water or acidic groundwater, the slurry manufacturer shall measure the hardness, acidity, chloride and organic content of the mix water and groundwater and furnish for review and approval recommendations for modifications to the slurry that will ensure successful results in the conditions at the project site.

In locations or areas where saline or chemically contaminated ground water occurs, the use of attapulgite or sepiolite and/or additives instead of bentonite maybe needed. Furnish for review and approved recommendations for the type and modification to the proposed mineral slurry that will ensure successful results in the conditions at the project site.

During construction, the level of the slurry shall be maintained at a height sufficient to prevent caving of the hole. In the event of a sudden significant loss of slurry to the hole, the construction of that foundation shall be stopped until either a method to stop slurry loss or an alternate construction procedure has been approved by the Engineer.

The level of mineral slurry in the shaft excavation shall be maintained at a level not less than 5 feet above the highest expected piezometric pressure head along the depth of the shaft, and the level of polymer slurry shall be maintained at a level not less than 6 feet above the highest expected piezometeric pressure head along the shaft. It is anticipated that the highest piezometric pressure head is the static water elevation or the ground water elevation, however, the Contractor is responsible for determining the highest piezometric pressure head. If at any time the slurry construction method fails, to produce the desired final results, in the opinion of the Engineer, the Contractor shall both discontinue this method and propose an alternate method for approval by the Engineer.

A. Mineral Slurry

Mineral slurry shall be premixed thoroughly with clean fresh water with adequate time (as prescribed by the mineral manufacturer) allotted for hydration prior to introduction into the shaft excavation. Slurry tanks of adequate capacity will be required for slurry circulation, storage, and

treatment. No excavated slurry pits will be allowed in lieu of slurry tanks without the written permission of the Engineer. Desanding equipment shall be provided by the Contractor as necessary to control slurry sand content to less than 4 percent by volume at any point in the borehole at the time the slurry is introduced, including situations in which temporary casing will be used. The Contractor shall take all steps necessary to prevent the slurry from “setting up” in the shaft. Such methods may include but are not limited to agitation, circulation and/or adjusting the properties of the slurry. Disposal of all slurry shall be done off site in suitable areas by the Contractor.

It is the responsibility of the Contractor to maintain a stable suspension at all times and keep the stability of the excavation. The Contractor shall adjust the slurry properties as necessary to bring the slurry to specifications.

B. Polymer Slurry

If the Contractor proposes to use a polymer slurry, either natural or synthetic, it must be a product approved for use by the Department. Mixing of polymer slurry in the borehole will not be permitted. Slurry properties at the time of mixing and at the time of concreting must be in conformance with the written recommendations of the manufacturer. However, whatever product is used, the sand content at the base of the drilled shaft excavation shall not exceed 1 percent when measured by Method API 13B-1, Section 5, immediately prior to concreting.

The Contractor’s slurry management plan shall include detailed provisions for controlling the quality of the slurry, including tests to be performed, the frequency of those tests, the test methods, and the maximum and/or minimum property requirements that must be met to ensure that the slurry meets it intended functions in the subsurface conditions at the construction site and with the construction methods that are to be used. The slurry management plan shall include a set of the slurry manufacturer’s written recommendations.

Polymer slurry shall have the following properties:

(c) Minimum mixing time shall be 15 minutes.

(d) Storage time to allow for hydration shall be minimum of 4 hours.

C. Water as Drill Fluid

If approved by the Engineer, the Contractor may use only water as a drilling fluid. All of the provisions in the table shown in this section for mineral slurries shall be met, except that the maximum density shall not exceed 70 pcf.

D. Slurry Testing

Slurry testing shall include the following tests, as a minimum: Density test (API 13B-1, Section 1), viscosity test (Marsh funnel and cup, API-13B-1, Section 2.2 or approved viscometer), pH test (pH meter, litmus paper), and sand content test (API sand content kit, API 13B-1, Section 5).

Tests shall be performed when the slurry temperature is above 40 degrees Fahrenheit.

Tests to determine density, viscosity and pH value shall be performed during the shaft excavation to establish a consistent working pattern. A minimum of four sets of tests shall be made during the first 8 hours of slurry use. When the results show consistent behavior, the testing frequency may be decreased to one set every four hours of slurry use.

The Contractor shall ensure that a heavily contaminated slurry suspension, which could impair the free flow of concrete, has not accumulated in the bottom of the shaft. Prior to placing concrete in any shaft excavation, the Contractor shall take slurry samples using a sampling tool approved by the Engineer. Slurry samples shall be extracted from the base of the shaft and at intervals not exceeding 10 feet up the slurry column in the shaft, until two consecutive samples produce acceptable values for density, viscosity, and pH.

When any slurry samples are found to be unacceptable, the Contractor shall take whatever action is necessary to bring the slurry within specifications requirements. Concrete shall not be poured until the slurry in the hole is re-sampled and tests results produce acceptable values.

Reports of all tests required above signed by an authorized representative of the Contractor, shall be furnished to the Engineer on completion of each drilled shaft.

XII. EXCAVATION INSPECTION:

The Contractor shall provide equipment for checking the dimensions and alignment of each shaft excavation. The dimensions and alignment shall be determined by the Contractor. Final shaft depths shall be measured with a suitable weighted tape or other approved methods after final cleaning. Unless otherwise stated in the plans, a minimum of 50 per cent of the base of each shaft will have less than 1/2 inch of sediment at the time of placement of the concrete. The maximum depth of sediment or any debris at any place on the base of the shaft shall not exceed 1-1/2 inches. Shaft cleanliness will be determined by visual inspection for dry shafts or other methods deemed appropriate by the Engineer for wet shafts.

For dry excavations, the maximum depth of water shall not exceed 3 inches prior to concrete pour.

For dry shafts, the sidewalls shall be visually free of cuttings that may have been smeared on the walls during the removal and insertion of drilling tools.

XIII. CONSTRUCTION TOLERANCES:

The following construction tolerances apply to drilled shafts unless otherwise stated in the Contract:

(a) The center of the drilled shaft shall be within 3 inches of plan position in the horizontal plane at the plan elevation for the top of the shaft.

(b) The vertical alignment of a vertical shaft excavation shall not vary from the plan alignment by more than 1 1/2% of the total length of the shaft.

(c) After all the concrete is placed; the top of the reinforcing steel cage shall be no more than 6 inches above and no more than 3 inches below plan position.

(d) The top elevation of the shaft shall have a tolerance of plus 1 inch or minus 3 inches from the plan top-of-shaft elevation.

(e) Excavation equipment and methods shall be designed so that the completed shaft excavation will have a planar bottom. The cutting edges of excavation equipment shall be normal to the vertical axis of the equipment within a tolerance of ± 3/8 inch per foot of diameter.

Drilled shaft excavations and completed shafts not constructed within the required tolerances are unacceptable. The Contractor shall be responsible for correcting all unacceptable shaft excavations and completed shafts to the satisfaction of the Engineer. Materials and work necessary, including engineering analysis and redesign, to complete corrections for out-of-tolerance drilled shaft excavations shall be furnished to the Department. No extension of the completion date of the project will be provided.

XIV. REINFORCING STEEL CAGE CONSTRUCTION AND PLACEMENT:

The reinforcing steel cage, consisting of longitudinal bars, ties, cage stiffener bars, spacers, centralizers, and other necessary appurtenances, shall be completely assembled and placed as a unit immediately after the shaft excavation is inspected and accepted, and prior to concrete placement. Internal stiffeners shall be removed as the cage is placed in the shaft so as not to interfere with the placement of concrete.

The reinforcing steel in the shaft shall be tied and supported so that the reinforcing steel will remain within allowable tolerances given in Section XIII of this specification. Plastic spacing devices shall be used at sufficient intervals [near the bottom and at intervals not exceeding 10 feet up the shaft] to ensure concentric spacing for the entire cage length. Use a minimum of one spacer per 30 inches of circumference of the casing with a minimum of three at each layer. The spacers shall be of adequate dimension to ensure a minimum 3 inch annular space between the outside of the reinforcing cage and the side of the excavated hole. Approved cylindrical feet (bottom supports) shall be provided to ensure that the bottom of the cage is maintained the proper distance above the base.

Hooks at the top of the reinforced steel cage shall not be bent outward if a temporary casing is to be used. Interior hooks must be designed to permit adequate clearance for the concrete tremie pipe or concrete pump (i.e. 10 inches minimum space). Hooks may be placed on dowels that may be rotated after concrete placement or casing removal and repositioned after the tremie or concrete pump is removed. The concrete must be fluid during dowel repositioning.

The elevation of the top of the steel cage shall be checked before and after the concrete is placed. If the upward displacement of the rebar cage exceeds 6 inches or if the downward displacement exceeds 3 inches, the drilled shaft will be considered defective. Corrections shall be made by the Contractor to the satisfaction of the Engineer. No additional shafts shall be constructed until the Contractor has modified his rebar cage support in a manner satisfactory to the Engineer.

If the bottom of the constructed shaft elevation is lower than the bottom of the shaft elevation in the plans, a minimum of one half of the longitudinal bars required in the upper portion of the shaft shall be extended the additional length by adding longitudinal reinforcing bars at the bottom of the cage. Tie or spiral bars shall be continued for the extra depth and the stiffener bars shall be extended to the final depth. All longitudinal and transverse bars must be lap spliced or spliced with mechanical splices. Welding to the reinforcing steel will not be permitted unless specifically shown in either the plans or special provisions.

When concrete placement does not immediately follow cage placement, remove the steel from the excavation unless the Engineer directs otherwise. If the cage is removed, recheck excavation cleanliness in accordance with this special provision prior to reinstallation of the cage.

XV. INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS FOR CSL INTEGRITY TESTS:

Drilled shafts shall be fitted with CSL test tubes to evaluate their integrity as indicated in the plans, Contract, or as designated by the Engineer. Install the access tubes or pipes as nearly parallel and far as possible from the longitudinal bars. The number of tubes to be installed per each drilled shaft diameter is as indicated in the table below:

Drilled Shaft Diameter Number of CSL Tubes Tube Spacinga

3 ft to 5 ft 4 minimum 90 degrees

5.5 ft. to 7 ft 6 minimum 60 degrees

7.5 ft to 9 ft 8minimum 45 degrees

Greater than 10 feet 10 minimum 36 degrees

(a) Spacing based on a central angle in degrees

The tubes shall be securely attached to the interior of the reinforcement cage with a minimum concrete cover of 3 inches, and they shall be wire-tied to the reinforcing cage every five feet to secure the tubes in position during placement of the reinforcing steel cage. In all cases the tubes shall be as near to vertical and parallel as possible. The Contractor shall install the tubes in the drilled shafts in a regular and symmetric pattern such that each tube is spaced a maximum distance possible from its adjacent tube and distributed around the drilled shaft perimeter as indicated by the central angle in the table above.

The tubes shall extend from the bottom of the drilled shaft to at least 3 feet above the top of the drilled shaft, or 2 feet above the ground surface for shafts with cut-offs below the ground surface. The tubes must be capped to prevent concrete or debris from entering during manipulation of the cage and concreting. Care must be taken during lifting and lowering the steel reinforcement so as not to damage the tubes. The CSL tubes shall be filled with clean water no later than 4 hours after concrete placement. Do not break the bond between the tube and the concrete by applying excessive torque, hammering, or other sort of stress while removing the caps or plugs from the pipes. For production shafts and upon completion of the CSL tests, remove all the water from the access tubes or drilled holes and fill with an approved grout. CSL testing procedures are found in Section XVII of these Specifications.

XVI. CONCRETE PLACEMENT:

A. General

Concrete placement shall be performed in accordance with the applicable portions of the general specifications on concrete materials in Section VI. A above and with the requirements herein.

Concrete shall be placed as soon as possible after reinforcing steel placement. Concrete placement shall be continuous from the bottom to the top elevation of the shaft. Concrete placement shall continue after the shaft excavation is filled until good quality concrete is evident at the top of shaft. Concrete shall be placed either by free fall or through a tremie or concrete pump. Free fall placement shall only be permitted in dry holes. Concrete placed by free fall shall fall directly to the base without contacting either the rebar cage or hole sidewall.

Subject to performance satisfactory to the Engineer in the construction of the trial shafts, concrete to be placed in dry shafts less than 5 feet in diameter may be placed by allowing the concrete to free fall up to 60 feet into the excavation; for shafts at least 5 feet in diameter the free fall distance may be increased to 100 feet. Drop chutes shall be used to direct concrete to the base during free fall placement.

The elapsed time from the beginning of concrete placement in the shaft to the completion of the placement shall not exceed 2-hours. Admixtures such as water reducers, plasticizers, and retarders shall not be used in the concrete mix unless permitted in the Contract or as approved by the Engineer. All admixtures, when approved for use, shall be adjusted for the conditions encountered on the job. The Contractor may request a longer placement time provided he supplies a concrete mix that will maintain a minimum 4 inch slump throughout the drilled shaft concrete elapsed time in section VI. A. (c) Paragraph 3 as demonstrated by trial mix and slump loss tests.

During concrete placement the Contractor shall plot the theoretical and actual concrete volume curves on the” DRILLED SHAFT CONCRETE VOLUMES FORM.”

Within the first 16 hours after a drilled shaft has achieved its initial concrete set (as determined by the Engineer), do not drill adjacent shafts or allow any equipment wheel loads or excessive vibrations to occur at any point within a 20 foot radius of the drilled shaft unless the concrete has reached a strength of at least 1500 psi as determined by the Maturity Test Method in accordance with ASTM C 1074.

B. Tremies

Tremies may be used for concrete placement in either wet or dry holes. Tremies used to place concrete shall consist of a tube of sufficient length, weight, and diameter to discharge concrete at the shaft base elevation. The tremie shall not contain aluminum parts that will have contact with the concrete. The tremie inside diameter shall be at least 6 times the maximum size of aggregate used in the concrete mix but shall not be less than 10 inches. The inside and outside surfaces of the tremie shall be clean and smooth to permit both flow of concrete and unimpeded withdrawal during concreting. The wall thickness of the tremie shall be adequate to prevent crimping or sharp bends. Tremie pipe clamps shall not be placed below water or below an area where they cannot be observed or are inaccessible to personnel unless otherwise approved in writing by the Engineer.

The tremie used for wet excavation concrete placement shall be watertight. Underwater or under-slurry placement shall not begin until the tremie is placed to the shaft base elevation, and the concrete shall be kept completely separated from the water or slurry prior to the time it is discharged. Valves, bottom plates or plugs may be used for this purpose only if concrete discharge can begin within one tremie diameter of the base of the drilled shaft. Plugs shall either be removed from the excavation or be of a material, approved by the Engineer, which will not cause a defect in the shaft if not removed. The discharge end of the tremie shall be constructed to permit the free radial flow of concrete during placement operations. The tremie discharge end shall be immersed at least 7 feet in concrete at all times after starting the flow of concrete. The flow of the concrete shall be continuous. The level of the concrete in the tremie shall be maintained above the level of slurry or water in the borehole at all times to prevent water or slurry intrusion into the shaft concrete.

If at any time during the concrete pour, the tremie line orifice is removed from the fluid concrete column and discharges concrete above the rising concrete level, the shaft shall be considered defective. In such case, the Contractor shall remove the reinforcing cage and concrete, complete any necessary sidewall removal directed by the Engineer and repour the shaft.

C. Pumped Concrete

Concrete pumps and lines may be used for concrete placement in either wet or dry excavations. All pump lines shall have a minimum 4 inch diameter and be constructed with watertight joints. Concrete placement shall not begin until the pump line discharge orifice is at the shaft base elevation. Pipe clamps or pipe welded shall not be below water or below an area where they cannot be observed or inaccessible to personnel unless otherwise approved in writing by the Engineer.

For wet excavations, a plug or similar device shall be used to separate the concrete from the fluid in the hole until pumping begins. The plug shall either be removed from the excavation or be of a material, approved by the Engineer, that will not cause a defect in the shaft if not removed.

The discharge orifice shall remain at least 7 feet below the surface of the fluid concrete. When lifting the pump line during concreting, the Contractor shall temporarily reduce the line pressure until the orifice has been repositioned at a higher level in the excavation.

If at any time during the concrete pour the pump line orifice is removed from the fluid concrete column and discharges concrete above the rising concrete level, the shaft shall be considered defective. In such case, the Contractor shall remove the reinforcing cage and concrete, complete any necessary sidewall removal directed by the Engineer, and repour the shaft.

D. Drop Chutes

Drop chutes shall be used to direct placement of free-fall concrete in excavations where the maximum depth of water does not exceed 3 inches. Free fall placement is not permitted in wet excavations. Drop chutes shall consist of a smooth tube of either one piece construction or sections that can be added and removed. A drop chute can also be a hopper with a short tube to direct the flow of concrete. Concrete may be placed through either the hopper at the top of the tube or side openings as the drop chute is retrieved during concrete placement. If concrete placement causes the shaft excavation to cave or slough, or if the concrete strikes the rebar cage or sidewall, the Contractor shall reduce the height of free fall and/or reduce the rate of concrete flow into the excavation. If caving or sloughing of the shaft walls occurs during free-fall placement of concrete, the shaft shall be considered defective. In such case, the Contractor shall remove the reinforcing cage and concrete, complete any necessary sidewall removal and repour the shaft. If concrete placement cannot be satisfactorily accomplished by free fall, the Contractor shall use either tremie or pumping techniques to accomplish the pour.

XVII. NONDESTRUCTIVE EVALUATION:

A. General

When called for in the Contract, specific completed drilled shafts, the number and/or location of which are specified, shall be subjected to nondestructive tests to evaluate their structural integrity. The Contractor shall be responsible for performing and submitting reports of such tests to the Engineer in a timely manner. All testing shall be conducted after the concrete has cured for at least 48 hours. The Contractor shall employ a registered Professional Engineer registered in the Commonwealth of Virginia who has been qualified by the Department to perform, evaluate and report the tests. The report on the tests on any given shaft must be submitted to the Engineer within 3 working days of the performance of the tests on that shaft. The Engineer will evaluate and analyze the results and provide to the Contractor a response regarding the acceptability of the shaft that was tested within 3 working days of receipt of the test report.

The Contractor may continue to construct drilled shafts before the receipt of notice of acceptance of the tested shaft or shafts by the Engineer; however, if the Engineer finds the tested shaft(s) to be unacceptable, the Contractor shall be required to repair the unacceptable shaft to the satisfaction of the Engineer and (a) prove to the satisfaction of the Engineer that the acceptability of all shafts constructed since the unacceptable shaft was constructed and the acceptability of the procedure to be used in constructing future shafts, or (b) cease all drilled shaft construction until a new construction procedure acceptable to the Engineer has been proposed by the Contractor and accepted by the Engineer. In the latter case, those drilled shafts constructed after the unacceptable shaft was constructed shall be repaired or tested to determine if they are of sound quantity. If any repair procedures or revisions to the Contractor’s installation procedure are proposed by the Contractor, the Contractor shall submit a written plan to the Engineer to repair defects and revise construction procedures. If these plans involve changes to the structural design of the shafts, shaft caps, or to the geometry of the shafts, any redesign proposed in the Contractor’s plan to the

Engineer shall be performed by a Professional Engineer registered in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

B. Crosshole Sonic Logging CSL Test

1. General

Crosshole Sonic Logging, CSL, is a nondestructive testing, NDT, method that measures the time for an ultrasonic pulse to travel from a signal source inside an access tube to a receiver inside another access tube and evaluates the integrity of drilled shafts. In uniform, good quality concrete, the travel time between these equidistant tubes will be relatively constant from the bottom to the top of the drilled shafts and correspond to a reasonable concrete pulse velocity. In uniform, good quality concrete, the CSL test will also produce records with good signal amplitude and energy. Longer travel times and lower amplitude/energy signals indicate the presence of irregularities such as poor quality concrete, voids, honeycombs, or soil intrusions. The signal will be completely lost by the receiver and system recorder for more severe defects such as voids and soil intrusions.

The Contractor shall install access tubes intended for Crosshole Sonic Logging CSL testing and perform the test(s) as indicated in the plans, and in Sections IV. A. (l), VI. D., and XV herein. When the Contractor is required to perform CSL tests in the Contract, he must only employ experienced personnel and engage the services of approved independent testing firm with previous experience in this sort of testing. The Contractor shall submit to the Engineer for his approval the list of personnel and testing firms he intends to use during the CSL testing program along with their competence and field experience to perform evaluate, and report the results of CSL tests. The Contractor shall perform the CSL tests in the number and locations specified or as requested by the Engineer, and he shall execute the test after at least 48 hours of concrete curing to allow for curing of the concrete. The Engineer may specify a longer curing time when retarders are used in the mix design, or other factors that may result in a slower rate of concrete setting. All CSL testing must be completed within forty five calendar days of concrete placement.

Prior to beginning the CSL test, the Contractor shall assure that the test probes can pass through and down the tubes to the bottom of every installed tube. If a tube is obstructed, the Contractor shall core a hole large enough to accommodate the probe through its full length in the drilled shaft and near the obstructed tube to the depth indicated in the plans for that CLS tube. Core equipment, procedure, and location of the hole shall be approved by the Engineer prior to beginning coring. Logged results of the core drilling shall be submitted to the Engineer along with the cores. The CSL test may commence after the core hole is inspected and the probes can pass through.

The Contractor is responsible for submission of the CSL test report to the Engineer within 3 work days of its performance for a specific drilled shaft. The Engineer will evaluate and analyze the CSL test results within 3 working days of their receipt and provide the Contractor with a response regarding the acceptability of the drilled shaft tested.

2. Equipment for the Crosshole Sonic Logging, CSL, Test

The CSL test equipment consists of the following components:

a. A microprocessor-based CSL system or analyzer for display of individual CSL records, analog-digital conversion and recording of CSL data, analysis of receiver responses, and

printing of CSL logs.

b. Ultrasonic emitter and receiver probes for 2 inches I.D. pipe.

c. An ultrasonic voltage pulse to excite the source with a synchronized triggering system to start the recording system.

d. Winch, tripod and connecting cables.

e. A depth measurement device to determine recorded depths.

f. Appropriate filter/amplification and cable systems for CSL testing.

3. Logging Procedures for Crosshole Sonic Logging, CSL, Test

The test should proceed from the bottom to the top of the test tubes and in depth increments of about 3 inches to include the full depth of both tubes. Any slack shall be removed from the cables prior to pulling the probes providing accurate depth measurement records. Test a pair of perimeter and/or diagonal tubes, and include evaluation of the condition of the drilled shaft bottom. The source and receiver should be lifted simultaneously at a speed less than 1 ft per second, and a set of readings carefully taken at their corresponding depths. The CSL tests shall be carried out with the source and receiver probes in the same horizontal plane unless test results indicate potential anomalies/defects, in which case the questionable zone may be further evaluated with fan shape or angled tests (source and receiver are vertically offset inside the tubes). Equipment, procedure, and evaluation shall be adjusted to detect, locate, and assess the extent of any irregularity or void that appears in the path of the sonic pulse. Any anomalies/defects indicated by longer pulse arrival times and significantly lower amplitude/energy signals should be reported to the Engineer on site and any further tests shall be carried out as necessary to evaluate the extent of such anomalies/defects.

Additional testing shall be conducted in the event anomalies should be detected or suspected during the test. Information of the drilled shaft bottom and top elevations, length, along with construction dates shall be provided to the testing organization before or at the time of the CSL tests. Levels will be taken on top of each tube, and actual tube plumbness and length be recorded. CLS tests shall be conducted between pairs of tubes, and the determination of which pairs to be tested made by the independent testing agency.

4. Reporting Results of the Crosshole Sonic Logging, CSL, Test

Results of CSL test shall be presented in a report including:

a. A brief explanation of how the test was performed, the CSL logs, the analyses, and the test results of each drilled shaft.

b. The arrangement of the tubes and their dimensions per drilled shaft tested.

c. A Plan View of the CSL test locations in relation to the bridge foundation.

d. Arrival time of acoustic pulse versus depth in each pair of tubes for every drilled shaft tested.

e. Pulse energy/amplitude versus depth in each pair of tubes for every drilled shaft tested.

f. A CSL log for each pair of tubes tested, and when applicable, with any anomaly/defect zones properly discussed. Any zone with long arrival times and low power relative to other zones should be considered anomalous.

XVIII. ACCEPTANCE OF DRILLED SHAFTS:

Acceptance of drilled shafts shall be based on meeting the requirements as set forth in the Contract Documents. Drilled shafts will not be acceptable if:

A. Based on Specifications

1. Drilled shafts are constructed disregarding any requirements of the Specifications or this Special Provision for Drilled Shaft.

2. Drilled shaft excavations are constructed out of tolerance. The Contractor shall correct completed drilled shaft to acceptable tolerances before proceeding with new drilled shaft construction and submit correction for the Engineer’s approval.

3. When applicable, slurry out of tolerance, especially during late introduction into the drilled shaft and before concreting.

4. Cave-in of the drilled shaft walls due to improper use of casing or slurry; or failure to use weighting agents in the slurry in running groundwater.

5. Temporary casing that cannot be removed.

6. Horizontal separations or severe neck in the drilled shaft walls when pulling temporary casing with concrete adhering to it.

7. Failure to agitate slurry or to place concrete in a timely manner causing excessive build-up of mud cake on the wall of the excavation.

8. Horizontal sand lens in concrete produced by tremie or pump line pulled out of concrete when concreting under slurry or water.

9. Quarter-moon-shaped soil intrusion on the side of the drilled shaft created by interruption in flow of concrete being pumped or tremied into slurry-filled hole or use of telescoping casing where concrete from inner casing spills into the over break zone behind outer casing.

10. Soft or loose drilled shaft bottom caused by incomplete bottom cleaning, side sloughing, or sedimentation of cuttings from slurry column where base bearing is required.

11. Voids outside of the reinforcing steel cage when low slump concrete is introduced into the drilled shaft.

12. Honeycombing, washout of fines, or water channels in the concrete if concrete is placed directly into water.

13. Folded-in debris from insufficient cleaning of the drilled shaft excavation or excessive sand in the slurry.

14. Drilled shafts for which the mix design has been altered or extra water has been added without the approval of the Engineer.

15. Drilled shaft constructed in such a manner that the drilled shaft cannot be completed within the required tolerances. The Contractor shall submit correction methods for the Engineer’s approval.

Final acceptance decision on whether repairs can or should be made or if the drilled shaft is rejected and must be replaced will be made by the Engineer as necessary applying criteria set forth herein and sound engineering judgment on a drilled shaft by drilled shaft basis.

B. Based on the Cross Hole Sonic Logging (CSL) Tests

Rejection of a drilled shaft based on the drilled shaft cross hole sonic logging testing shall be conclusive evidence that a defect exists in the drilled shaft that will result in inadequate or unsafe performance of the drilled shaft under service loads. The acceptance of each drilled shaft shall be the decision of the Engineer based on the results of the drilled shaft integrity testing report(s) and other information on the drilled shaft placement. If the CSL records are inconclusive, the Engineer may require coring or excavation of the drilled shaft to verify drilled shaft conditions.

In the event testing discloses voids or discontinuities in the concrete which indicate that the drilled shaft is not structurally adequate, the drilled shaft shall be rejected, and construction of additional drilled shafts shall be suspended until the Contractor repairs, replaces or supplements the defective work, and the Engineer approves the remedial work. The Contractor shall suspend drilled shaft construction until the Engineer approves proposed changes to the methods of drilled shaft construction submitted in writing by the Contractor.

In the case that any drilled shaft is determined to be unacceptable, the Contractor shall submit a plan for remedial action to the Engineer for approval. Any modifications to the foundation drilled shafts and load transfer mechanisms caused by the remedial action will require calculations and working drawings prepared by and stamped by a Professional Engineer, hired by the Contractor and registered in the Commonwealth of Virginia, for all foundation elements affected. The Contractor shall provide all labor and materials required to design and repair or remediate drilled shafts with no extension of the contract time.

The Contractor may continue to construct drilled shafts at his own risk before the receipt of notice of acceptance by the Engineer of the previously tested drilled shafts or drilled shafts constructed by a modified means and method of construction; however, if the Engineer finds the tested drilled shaft or drilled shafts to be unacceptable, the Contractor shall repair to the satisfaction of the Engineer, the unacceptable drilled shafts and (a) prove to the satisfaction of the Engineer, the acceptability of all drilled shafts constructed since the unacceptable drilled shaft was built and the acceptability of the procedure to be used in construction of future drilled shafts, or (b) cease all drilled shaft construction until a new construction procedure has been proposed by the Contractor and accepted by the Engineer. In the latter case, drilled shafts built after the unacceptable drilled shaft shall be repaired to the satisfaction of the Engineer.

Permanent casing will be paid for only when permanent casing is authorized or when the Engineer directs the Contractor to le.ave a casing in place such that it becomes a permanent part of the shaft. No payment will be made for temporary steel casings that become bound or fouled during shaft construction and cannot be practically removed.

XX. BASIS OF PAVEMENT:

A. Standard Excavation Drilled Shafts

Standard Excavation Drilled Shafts shall be paid for at the contract unit price per linear foot for drilled shafts of the diameter specified. Such payment shall be full compensation for excavating the shaft, for temporary casing or slurry as necessary, installing crosshole sonic logging tubes, concrete complete and in place and furnishing all labor, tools, equipment, materials and incidentals necessary to complete the drilled shaft.

award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses (29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii)). ---------------------------------------------------------------- The body of each wage determination lists the classification and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical order of "identifiers" that indicate whether the particular rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate for local), a survey rate (weighted average rate) or a union average rate (weighted union average rate). Union Rate Identifiers A four letter classification abbreviation identifier enclosed in dotted lines beginning with characters other than "SU" or "UAVG" denotes that the union classification and rate were prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example: PLUM0198-005 07/01/2014. PLUM is an abbreviation identifier of the union which prevailed in the survey for this classification, which in this example would be Plumbers. 0198 indicates the local union number or district council number where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage determination. 07/01/2014 is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate, which in this example is July 1, 2014. Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all rate changes in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing this classification and rate. Survey Rate Identifiers Classifications listed under the "SU" identifier indicate that no one rate prevailed for this classification in the survey and the published rate is derived by computing a weighted average rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that classification. As this weighted average rate includes all rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and non-union rates. Example: SULA2012-007 5/13/2014. SU indicates the rates are survey rates based on a weighted average calculation of rates and are not majority rates. LA indicates the State of Louisiana. 2012 is the year of survey on which these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 5/13/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier. Survey wage rates are not updated and remain in effect until a new survey is conducted. Union Average Rate Identifiers

Classification(s) listed under the UAVG identifier indicate that no single majority rate prevailed for those classifications; however, 100% of the data reported for the classifications was union data. EXAMPLE: UAVG-OH-0010 08/29/2014. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union average rate. OH indicates the state. The next number, 0010 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 08/29/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier. A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January of each year, to reflect a weighted average of the current negotiated/CBA rate of the union locals from which the rate is based. ---------------------------------------------------------------- WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS 1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can be: * an existing published wage determination * a survey underlying a wage determination * a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on a wage determination matter * a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour Regional Office for the area in which the survey was conducted because those Regional Offices have responsibility for the Davis-Bacon survey program. If the response from this initial contact is not satisfactory, then the process described in 2.) and 3.) should be followed. With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal process described here, initial contact should be with the Branch of Construction Wage Determinations. Write to: Branch of Construction Wage Determinations Wage and Hour Division U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20210 2.) If the answer to the question in 1.) is yes, then an interested party (those affected by the action) can request review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator (See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7). Write to: Wage and Hour Administrator U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210 The request should be accompanied by a full statement of the interested party's position and by any information (wage payment data, project description, area practice material, etc.) that the requestor considers relevant to the issue. 3.) If the decision of the Administrator is not favorable, an interested party may appeal directly to the Administrative Review Board (formerly the Wage Appeals Board). Write to: Administrative Review Board U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20210 4.) All decisions by the Administrative Review Board are final. ================================================================ END OF GENERAL DECISION

You are directed to make the changes noted below in this Change Order Directive.

A Construction Change Directive is a written order prepared by the Engineer/County and signed by the County and Engineer, directing a change in the Work prior to agreement or adjustment, if any, in the Contract Sum or Contract Time, or both. This Change Order Directive is prepared in accordance with Virginia Department of Transportation Road and Bridge Specifications dated 2007, as modified by Prince William County Supplemental Specifications, Section 109.05. Nature of Changes: This Change Order Directive is to (fill in complete and detailed description of work)…...

Upon receipt of a Construction Change Directive, the Contractor shall promptly proceed with the change in the Work involved and advise the Engineer of the Contractor's

Powell’s Creek Pedestrian Bridge CD-1 of 3 Change Order Directive

agreement or disagreement with the method, if any, provided in the Construction Change Directive for determining the proposed adjustment in the Contract Sum or Contract Time. If the Contractor does not respond promptly or disagrees with the method for adjustment in the Contract Sum/Contract Unit Prices, the method and the adjustment shall be determined by the County on the basis of reasonable expenditures and savings of those performing the Work attributable to the change, including, in case of an increase in the Contract Sum, a reasonable allowance for overhead and profit. In such case, the Contractor shall keep and furnish, in such form as the County may prescribe, an itemized accounting together with appropriate supporting data. Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, costs for the purposes of this Section shall be limited to the following:

.1 costs of labor, including social security, and unemployment insurance, fringe benefits required by agreement or custom, and workers' compensation insurance;

.2 costs of materials, supplies and equipment, including cost of transportation, whether incorporated or consumed;

.3 rental costs of machinery and equipment, exclusive of hand tools, whether rented from the Contractor or others;

.4 costs of premiums for all bonds and insurance, permit fees, and sales, use or similar taxes related to the Work; and

.5 additional costs of supervision and field office personnel directly attributable to the change.

Pending final determination of the total cost of a Construction Change Directive to the County, amounts not in dispute for such changes in the Work shall be included in Applications for Payment accompanied by a Change Order indicating the parties' agreement with part or all of such costs. For any portion of such cost that remains in dispute, the County will make an interim determination for purposes of monthly certification for payment for those costs as acceptable to the County. That determination of cost shall adjust the Contract Sum on the same basis as a Change Order, subject to the right of either party to disagree and assert a claim. The County reserves the right to request the Contractor submit a Cost Proposal to perform the changes in the Work. The Cost Proposal shall include but, not limited to; a complete breakdown in a form showing all units of labor, materials, equipment for project overhead and profit. Such information shall include any/all supporting documentation/invoices for work provided by subcontractors and materials from suppliers. If County and Contractor are unable to agree on entitlement to, or on the amount or extent, if any, of an adjustment in the Contract Price or Contract Times, or both, that should be allowed as a result, a Work Change Directive shall be ordered by the County and a claim may be made therefor as provided herein.


When the County and Contractor agree with the determination concerning the adjustments in the Contract Sum and Contract Time, or otherwise reach agreement upon the adjustments, such agreement shall be effective immediately and shall be recorded by preparation and execution of an appropriate Change Order. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The Contractor is directed to proceed with changes: _______________________ ENGINEER BY ____________________ DATE____________, 20 ___ The Above Changes are Authorized: _______________________ COUNTY BY ____________________ DATE____________, 20 ___ The Contractor agrees to commence immediately with changes described in this Change Order Directive.
