addenda changes.
Q10: What do I do when the file has a “~” in the filename?
A10: Occasionally the “.ebsx” file posted on eMM will have ‘~’ in the filename; if this
occurs, you must download the file to the computer and rename it to
“ContractNumber.ebsx” for it to work properly. For example, if you encounter a
filename titled PG6185170~2.ebsx on eMM, then download the file and rename it to
PG6185170.ebsx. Similarly, if you encounter a file name titled PG6185170~1.003x on

OCCUPYING WETLANDS 1 of 1
06-11-18
OCCUPYING WETLANDS The Contractor is hereby alerted to the importance of preserving wetland areas. The Administration, in conjunction with the various environmental agencies, has developed these Contract Documents so as to minimize or eliminate disturbance and damage to existing wetland areas. In order to accomplish this, the following must be rigidly adhered to: (a) Prior to performing any work on the project, the areas of wetland will be identified and marked
as directed by the Administration. All personnel of the Contractor or sub-contractors shall be alerted to these designated areas.
(b) The Contractor or sub-contractors shall not impact any wetland or waterway, whether it be
permanently or temporarily unless otherwise stipulated in the permit application and approved as an authorized action by the appropriate regulatory agency. No fill shall be placed in these areas without a permit.
(c) If a Contractor or sub-contractor has to impact a wetland or waterway that is not covered by
an existing wetland permit, they shall immediately notify the Engineer. The Engineer will notify the Environmental Programs Division to determine the extent of any permit modification. At that time the Environmental Programs Division will request a permit modification or submit a permit application.
(d) If the Contractor impacts any wetland or waterway for which they do not have a wetland
permit, they shall be responsible for restoring the wetland areas and possibly mitigating the wetland impacts to the full satisfaction of the environmental agencies, which could include monetary compensation.
(e) The cost of restoration and mitigation of the impacted areas shall be at no additional cost to
the Administration. The importance of not abusing the wetland areas cannot be overemphasized. Abuse of wetland areas could jeopardize the operation of the total Contract and could be cause for a shut-down. If a shut-down occurs because of the Contractor's failure to secure the required permits (i.e. the Contractor’s method of work includes impacts not approved by previously acquired permits), the Contractor’s negligence or operations, all costs and damages to the Contractor and to the State will be at no additional cost to the Administration. Noncompliance with these requirements will not be considered for an extension of Contract time.

to submitting a bid or initial proposal bidders (or offerors) including those bidders or offerors that are certified MBEs must: a. Identify specific work categories within the scope of the procurement appropriate for
subcontracting and/or procurement of materials and/or services; b. Solicit certified MBEs in writing at least 10 days before bids or initial proposals
are due, describing the identified work categories and providing instructions on how to bid on the subcontracts and/or procurement of materials and/or services;
c. Attempt to make personal contact with the certified MBEs solicited and to document
these attempts; d. Assist certified MBEs to fulfill, or to seek waiver of, bonding requirements; and e. Attend prebid or other meetings the procurement agency schedules to publicize
contracting opportunities to certified MBEs.
3. The bidder shall seek commitments from minority business enterprises by subcontracting and/or procurement of materials and/or services, the combined value of which equals or exceeds the established Contract goal of 5 percent of the total value of the prime Contract. The Administration has further established that, within this Contract goal, there shall be a sub-goal of a minimum of 0 percent participation by firms classified as African American-owned firms, a sub-goal of 0 percent participation by firms classified as Woman-owned firms, a sub-goal of a minimum of 0 percent participation by firms classified as Hispanic American-owned firms, and a sub-goal of a minimum of 0 percent participation by firms classified as Asian American-owned firms. A bidder may count toward its MBE goals expenditures for materials and supplies obtained from MBE regular dealers and/or manufactures provided that the MBE assume the actual and contractual responsibility for the provision of the materials and supplies. The bidder may count its entire expenditure to a MBE manufacturer (i.e., a supplier that produces goods from raw materials or substantially alters them before resale). The bidder may count sixty (60) percent of its expenditures to a MBE regular dealer, that is not a manufacturer, provided that the MBE supplier performs a commercially useful function in the supply process. The apparent low bidder shall submit to the Administration, within ten (10) business days after notification that it is the apparent low bidder, an acceptable Affirmative Action Plan for the utilization of Minority Business Enterprises in this Contract. The Contract will not be awarded without the bidder’s Affirmative Action Plan being approved by the Administration.
4. The Affirmative Action Plan shall include as a minimum: a. The name of an employee designated as the bidder’s Minority Business Liaison Officer. b. A complete MBE Subcontractor Project Participation Affidavit (MDOT-OP 015-2), of
minority business enterprises, from among those whose names appear in the MDOT MBE Directory or who are otherwise certified by MDOT as being minority business enterprises.

CONTRACT PROVISIONS CONTRACT NO. XX1635F80
MBE FOR STRAIGHT STATE CONTRACTS 4 of 10
06-11-18
OP 015-2) shall be completed and signed by the Bidder and MBE for each business listed in the MBE Participation Schedule.
c. A completed Outreach Efforts Compliance Statement (MDOT-OP 014-2).
5. When a bidder intends to attain the appropriate goal for minority business enterprise participation by use of a joint venture, the bidder shall submit a Joint Venture Disclosure Affidavit (MDOT D-EEO-006-A) showing the extent of the MBE participation. If a bidder intends to use a joint venture as a subcontractor to meet its goal, the affidavit shall be submitted through the bidder by the proposed subcontractor and signed by all parties.
6. When the proposed MBE participation does not meet the MBE Contract goals, information sufficient to demonstrate that the bidder has made good faith efforts to meet these goals shall be required.
7. Request for Exception to the MBE Goal If the bidder is unable to secure from MBEs by subcontracting and/or by procurement of materials and/or services, commitments which at least equal the appropriate percent of the value of the prime Contract at time of bid, the bidder shall request, in writing, waiver of the unmet portion of the goal. This request must be initiated by checking the appropriate box on the Certified MBE Utilization and Fair Solicitation Affidavit submitted with the bid or initial proposal. The waiver may be granted by the Administrator. To obtain approval of a waiver, the bidder shall submit the following: a. A detailed statement of efforts made prior to bid to contact and negotiate with MBEs
including the dates, names, addresses, and telephone numbers of MBEs who were contacted; a description of the information provided to the MBEs regarding the work to be performed, anticipated schedule for portions of the work to be performed; and a detailed statement of the reasons why additional prospective agreements with MBEs were not reached;
b. A detailed statement of the efforts made to select portions of the work proposed to be
performed by MBEs in order to increase the likelihood of achieving the stated goals; c. For each MBE that the Contractor considers not qualified, but from which a bid has
been received, a detailed statement of the reasons for the bidder’s conclusion; and d. For each MBE contacted but unavailable, a Minority Contractor Unavailability
Certificate, (OOC46), signed by the minority business enterprise, or a statement from the bidder stating that the MBE refused to sign the Certificate.
8. Guidance concerning good faith efforts The following is a list of the types of actions and factors that will be used to determine the
bidder's or offeror’s good faith efforts to obtain MBE participation. It is not intended to be a mandatory checklist, nor is it intended to be exclusive or exhaustive. Other factors or types of efforts may be relevant in appropriate cases.
(1) Soliciting through all reasonable and available means (e.g. attendance at pre-bid
10
CONTRACT PROVISIONS CONTRACT NO. XX1635F80
MBE FOR STRAIGHT STATE CONTRACTS 5 of 10
06-11-18
meetings, advertising and/or written notices) the interest of certified MBEs who have
the capability to perform the work of the contract. The bidder must solicit this interest
within sufficient time to allow the MBEs to respond to the solicitation. The bidder must
determine with certainty if the MBEs are interested by taking appropriate steps to
follow up initial solicitations.
(2) Selecting portions of the work to be performed by MBEs in order to increase the
likelihood that the MBE goals will be achieved. This includes, where appropriate,
breaking out contract work items into economically feasible units to facilitate MBE
participation, even when the bidder or offeror might otherwise prefer to perform these
work items with its own forces.
(3) Providing interested MBEs with adequate information about the plans, specifications,
and requirements of the contract in a timely manner to assist them in responding to a
solicitation.
(4) (a) Negotiating in good faith with interested MBEs. It is the bidder's or offeror’s
responsibility to make a portion of the work available to MBE subcontractors and
suppliers and to select those portions of the work or material needs consistent with the
available MBE subcontractors and suppliers, so as to facilitate MBE participation.
Evidence of such negotiation includes the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of
MBEs that were considered; a description of the information provided regarding the
plans and specifications for the work selected for subcontracting; and evidence as to
why additional agreements could not be reached for MBEs to perform the work.
(b) A bidder using good business judgment would consider a number of factors in
negotiating with subcontractors, including MBE subcontractors, and would take a
firm's price and capabilities as well as contract goals into consideration. However, the
fact that there may be some additional costs involved in finding and using MBEs is not
in itself sufficient reason for a bidder's failure to meet the contract MBE goal, as long
as such costs are reasonable. Also, the ability or desire of a prime contractor to perform
the work of a contract with its own organization does not relieve the bidder of the
responsibility to make good faith efforts. Bidders and offerors are not, however,
required to accept higher quotes from MBEs if the price difference is excessive or
unreasonable.
(5) Not rejecting MBEs as being unqualified without sound reasons based on a thorough
investigation of their capabilities. The contractor's standing within its industry,
membership in specific groups, organizations, or associations and political or social
affiliations (for example union vs. non-union employee status) are not legitimate causes
for the rejection or non-solicitation of bids in the contractor's efforts to meet the project
goal.
(6) Making efforts to assist interested MBEs in obtaining bonding, lines of credit, or
insurance as required by the recipient or contractor.
11
CONTRACT PROVISIONS CONTRACT NO. XX1635F80
MBE FOR STRAIGHT STATE CONTRACTS 6 of 10
06-11-18
(7) Making efforts to assist interested MBEs in obtaining necessary equipment, supplies,
materials, or related assistance or services.
(8) Effectively using the services of available minority/women community organizations;
minority/women 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 placement of MBEs.
(9) In determining whether a bidder or offeror has made good faith efforts, the
Administration may take into account the performance of other bidders or offerors in
meeting the contract goal. For example, when the apparent successful bidder or offeror
fails to meet the contract goal, but others meet it, the Administration may reasonably
raise the question of whether, with additional reasonable efforts, the apparent
successful bidder or offeror could have met the goal. If the apparent successful bidder
or offeror fails to meet the goal, but meets or exceeds the average MBE participation
obtained by other bidders or offerors, the Administration may view this, in conjunction
with other factors, as evidence of the apparent successful bidder or offeror having made
good faith efforts.
9. Bidder Use of MBE Special Services
The bidder shall consider, whenever possible, utilizing the services of minority-owned banks. Most minority banks are full-service corporations that can provide an array of financial services such as Treasury and Tax Loan fund accounts, time and demand deposit accounts, payroll services and if needed, organization investment counseling. It is the policy of MDOT to encourage its Contractors to utilize, on a continuing basis, MBE banks.
10. Bidder Records
The bidder shall maintain records showing actions which have been taken to comply with procedures set forth herein.
11. Bidders Cooperation
The bidder shall cooperate with the Administration representative in any review of the Contractor’s procedures and practices, with respect to the MBEs, which the Administration’s representative may, from time to time, conduct.
12. Bidder MBE Modifications During the life of the Contract, all plans to modify the approved MBE participation program will require the approval of the Administrator or his authorized representative. This will include any changes to items of work to be sublet or materials and services to be obtained which differs from those in the original MBE participation program. All requests for revisions shall be directed to the appropriate District Engineer for disposition.
The low bidder’s failure to participate in any of the above proceedings or failure to furnish information after written request may result in rejecting the bid and non-award of the Contract.

D. ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES FOR ENFORCEMENT
1. Whenever the Administration believes the prime Contractor or any subcontractor may not be operating in compliance with the terms of these provisions, the Administration’s representative will conduct an investigation. If the Administration representative finds the prime Contractor or any subcontractor is not in compliance with these provisions, the representative will make a report of noncompliance and notify such Contractor in writing of the steps that will, in the judgement of the Administration, bring the Contractor into compliance. If the Contractor fails or refuses to comply fully with such steps, the Administration’s representative will make a final report of the noncompliance to the Administrator, who may direct the imposition of one or more of the sanctions listed below: a. Suspension of work on the project, pending correction; b. Withholding payment or a percentage thereof, pending correction; c. Referral of MBEs to the MDOT office of MBE, for review for decertification, for
review/referral to the Attorney General’s Office for review/initiation of debarment or for review for criminal prosecution through the MDOT Office of General Counsel;
d. Initiation of suspension in accordance with COMAR regulations; e. Referral to the Attorney General’s Office for review for debarment or for criminal
prosecution through the MDOT Office of General Counsel; f. Any other action as appropriate, within the discretion of the Administrator.
2. If the documents used to determine the status of a MBE contains false, or misleading or
misrepresenting information, the matter will be referred to the MDOT Office of the General Counsel for appropriate action. In addition, when directed by the Administrator, the Contractor shall terminate, without liability to the Administration, its contract with a firm, which for any reason, is either no longer certified or no longer eligible to do business in the State. The Contractor shall promptly submit plans for maintaining the required MBE participation on the project or appropriate request for waiver of all or part of the Contract goal with appropriate documentation to support Good Faith Efforts (as established by COMAR including the MDOT MBE/MBE Program Manual). The program and all revisions require the Administrator’s approval.
3. Liquidated Damages. This contract requires the contractor to make good faith efforts to
comply with the Minority Business Enterprise (“MBE”) Program and contract provisions.
The State and the Contractor acknowledge and agree that the State will incur damages,
including but not limited to loss of goodwill, detrimental impact on economic development,
and diversion of internal staff resources, if the Contractor does not make good faith efforts
to comply with the requirements of the MBE Program and MBE contract provisions. The
parties further acknowledge and agree that the damages the State might reasonably be
anticipated to accrue as a result of such lack of compliance are difficult to ascertain with
precision.
Therefore, upon a determination by the State that the Contractor failed to make good faith
efforts to comply with one or more of the specified MBE Program requirements or contract
provisions, the Contractor agrees to pay liquidated damages to the State at the rates set

forth below. The Contractor expressly agrees that the State may withhold payment on any
invoices as a set-off against liquidated damages owed. The Contractor further agrees that
for each specified violation, the agreed upon liquidated damages are reasonably proximate
to the loss the State is anticipated to incur as a result of such violation.
a. Failure to submit each monthly payment report in full compliance with COMAR
21.11.03.13B (3): $23.00 per calendar day until the monthly report is submitted as
required.
b. Failure to include in its agreements with MBE subcontractors a provision requiring

scope of work/value of a contract with an MBE subcontractor and/or amendment of the
MBE participation schedule: the difference between the dollar value of the MBE
participation commitment on the MBE participation schedule for that specific MBE firm
and the dollar value of the work performed by that MBE firm for the contract.
d. Failure to meet the Contractor’s total MBE participation goal and subgoal commitments:
the difference between the dollar value of the total MBE participation commitment on
the MBE participation schedule and the MBE participation actually achieved.
Notwithstanding the use of liquidated damages, the State reserves the right to terminate the
contract and exercise all other rights and remedies provided in the contract or by law. E. SUBCONTRACTING.

NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS
CONCERNING THE MBE/DBE GOAL ON THIS CONTRACT
The Maryland Department of Transportation is committed to providing the maximum amount of
contracting opportunities to certified Minority Business Enterprises (MBEs) and Disadvantaged
Business Enterprises (DBEs). The previously established policy excluded consideration of the
cost of supplying structural steel for MBE/DBE participation since there were no structural steel
manufacturers certified by MDOT. This exemption is no longer applicable since MBE/ DBE firms
have been certified under this category.

Contractor’s Affirmative Action Plan, including the value associated with the manufacture, supply,
and installation of structural steel.

Personnel Actions - All decisions respecting employment including, but not limited to hiring, upgrading, demotion, transfer, recruitment or advertising, layoff or termination, rates of pay or other forms of compensation, and selection for training to include apprenticeship, pre-apprenticeship or on-the-job training.
4. LEGAL MANDATES a. Title VI, Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination based on race, color, or national
origin in all programs and activities which receive Federal Financial Aid. Employment discrimination is prohibited if a primary purpose of Federal assistance is a provision of employment, e.g., apprenticeship, training, work study, or similar programs. Revised guidelines in 1973 prohibit discriminatory employment practices in all programs if such practices cause discrimination in services provided to beneficiaries of the program.
b. Title VII, Civil Rights Act of 1964 (as amended by the Equal Employment Opportunity Act
of 1972). Title VII prohibits discrimination because of race, color, religion, sex or national origin, in any term, condition, or privilege of employment.
c. Executive Order 11246 (as amended). This order, issued by the President in 1965, requires
Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action Programs by all Federal contractors and subcontractors. It also requires that firms with contracts over $50,000.00 and 50 or more employees develop and implement written programs, which are to be monitored by the Federal Office of Contract Compliance. Specific requirements for such result oriented programs are identified in the Revised Order # 4 issued by the Federal Office of Contract Compliance, U.S. Department of Labor. These requirements include identifying areas of minority and female under-utilization, numerical promotional and hiring goals, and other actions to increase minority employment in classifications where they are currently under-utilized.
d. The Age Discrimination Act of 1967 prohibits employers of 25 or more persons from
discriminating against persons 40-65 years of age in any area of employment due to their age. e. National Labor Relations Act of 1935. Discrimination on the basis of race, religion, sex, or
national origin constitutes an unfair labor practice. It shall be unlawful under this Act for employers to participate with unions in the commission of any discriminatory practices or to practice discrimination in a manner which gives rise to racial, or other division, amongst employees to the detriment of organized union activity. It shall be unlawful for unions to exclude individuals discriminatorily from union memberships, thereby causing them to lose job opportunities, to discriminate in the representation of union members or non-members in collective bargaining, in the processing of grievance, or in any other respect which may cause or attempt to cause employers to enter into discriminatory agreements, or otherwise discriminate against members and non-members.
f. Governor's Code of Fair Practices for the State of Maryland (Amended). The Governor of
Maryland issued a revised Code of Fair Practices which was promulgated March 3, 1988, in recognition of the State's responsibility to root out the evils of discrimination on the basis of race, color, creed, national origin, sex and age. This Code was amended so as to be in compliance with Federal mandates regulating laws pertinent to Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action.

h. Article 78A, Section 7A, Annotated Code of Maryland provides for nondiscrimination in
State construction contracts and subcontracts. This provision obligates the Contractor not to discriminate in any manner against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, creed, color, or national origin and obligates subcontractors to the same.
i. Other Laws. Employment discrimination has also been ruled by courts to be prohibited by
the Civil Rights Acts of 1866 and 1870, the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States, and the Equal Pay Act of 1963. Action under these laws on behalf of individuals or groups may be taken by individuals, private organizations, trade unions, or other groups.
5. ASSIGNMENT OF RESPONSIBILITIES a. The Contractor will designate an Equal Employment Opportunity Officer. He/she will have
the responsibility of implementing our Affirmative Action Plan. He/she will coordinate, advise and assist management and other key officials.

and employee facilities do not indicate discriminatory practices. (2) We will periodically evaluate the spread of wages paid within each classification to
determine any evidence of discriminatory wage practices. (3) We will periodically review personnel actions in depth to determine whether there is any
evidence of discrimination. Where evidence is found, we will promptly take corrective action.

BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
Road, Bridge, and Culvert Activities
(a) Avoidance and Minimization. All regulated activities within nontidal wetlands, stream
channels, and 100 year floodplains that are undertaken pursuant to a Regional Letter of
Authorization for installation, repair, and maintenance of activities related to roads, bridges,
and culverts shall be limited to the minimum necessary to conduct the activity.
(b) Consideration of Natural Functions during Construction. Authorized activities shall be
conducted so as not to:
(1) Restrict or impede the movement of wildlife indigenous to the nontidal wetlands or
adjacent water.
(2) Restrict or impede the passage of normal and expected high water flows.
(3) Disturb breeding areas for migratory waterfowl.
(4) Degrade wetland capabilities to maintain predisturbance baseflow characteristics.
(c) Maintenance of Surface and Subsurface Flow Characteristics. All activities within
vegetated nontidal wetland areas shall be conducted so as to avoid changing surface and
subsurface drainage patterns and characteristics. Measures include but are not limited to:
avoidance of compaction; use of onsite backfill materials; and restoration to
preconstruction grades where a permanent change has not been approved.
(d) Preservation of Woody Vegetation. Within nontidal wetlands and nontidal wetlands
buffers, trees and shrubs shall only be selectively removed as necessary to operate
equipment and install, repair, or maintain the authorized activity. Trees to be removed shall
be marked in the field and on any plans required prior to conducting the activity.
(e) Restoration of Hydraulic Capacity. If accreted material is excavated from a waterway to
restore hydraulic capacity of a structure, the channel bottom shall be shaped so that low
flow is concentrated (e.g. V-shaped) and, in the case of multicell pipes or culverts, the
excavation shall be deeper at the approach to one cell such that low flow is directed and
concentrated to that cell.
(f) Free Passage of Fish. To assure free passage of fish, replacement culverts and culvert
extensions shall have at least one cell placed at least 1 ft below the invert of the stream.
Where bedrock foundation is present, other fish passage techniques shall be provided and
shall be approved by the Department.

for approval under the Regional Letter of Authorization shall conform to the following
conditions:
(1) Not present a permanent obstruction to floodwaters.
(2) Shall be installed with adequate protection to prevent erosion under designed outfall
discharge velocities.
(3) Total area of outfall and scour protection shall be less than 100 ft2
(4) The end of new outfall pipes shall be located at least 25 ft from the banks of waterways
unless incorporated into an existing structure.
(h) Preferred Erosion Protection Methodology. To minimize impacts on instream aquatic
resources, erosion protection at existing bridge abutments, culvert inlets and outfalls, and
disturbed streambanks and channels shall be selected and installed, in order of the
following preference:
(1) The cause of erosion shall be investigated to determine the most effective way to
minimize or eliminate it.
(2) Biostabilization (root wads, sprigging, etc.).
(3) Riprap (installed with geotextile, depressed to match adjacent elevations or inverts,
shaped to provide low flow enhancement, and placed to create nooks and crannies for
aquatic habitat).
(4) Grout bags (installed to create original stream invert, scour holes filled prior to
placement).
(5) Gabions (justification and installation specifications shall be approved by the
Department).
(6) Any discharge of riprap across the entire stream bottom shall be depressed below
natural stream invert so that the top of riprap is at least 1 ft below normal stream
bottom. At culverts, it is understood that riprap shall rise to match the culvert invert.
Scour holes shall not be filled by riprap, but may be lined with riprap to maintain
depressions.
(i) Construction Access. Existing access roads within existing rights-of-way shall be utilized
wherever practicable. Construction of access roads outside of existing rights-of-way shall
be submitted to the Department for individual review and approval.

during site preparation, shall not be deposited in nontidal wetlands, nontidal wetlands
buffers, or 100 year floodplains.
(l) Preservation of Surface Soil. Within authorized disturbances in nontidal wetlands or
nontidal wetlands buffers, the top 6 in. of soil material shall be stripped, stockpiled, and
maintained separate from other fill materials. This surface soil shall be used as the top
layer of backfilled material during final site restoration.
(m) Quality of Fill Material. In nontidal wetlands, soil material excavated onsite shall be the
preferred source of fill material. If additional soil material is required, backfill and other
fill material obtained from other sources shall be clean and free of waste metal products,
unsightly debris, toxic material, or other deleterious substances. Fill material that increases
hydraulic conductivity (sand, gravel, crushed stone, etc.) which alters subsurface drainage
shall not be used.
(n) Operation of Equipment. Equipment shall not be operated within stream channels or in a
manner that breaks down streambanks. Hand operated equipment shall be used wherever
possible to minimize impacts on nontidal wetlands. Motorized equipment shall be operated
from existing roads where possible, or shall be placed on mats or otherwise designed and
operated to prevent damage to nontidal wetlands.
(o) No Direct Contact with Water. Discharge of dredged or fill material shall be performed
so that it will not come into direct contact with water during placement. Discharges shall
occur in the dry, with the work area separated from water by tightly sealed forms,
cofferdams, or stream diversion devices. Excavation shall not result in direct discharge of
earthen material into water.
(p) Stream Diversion. Nonerodible stream diversion devices or methods shall be used for
stream diversion, in order of the following preference:
(1) For small stream crossings, clear water diversions shall be used where allowed by
slopes and when trees do not have to be removed for installation.
(2) If clear water diversions are not feasible, portable dams shall be used where practicable,
or sandbags, Jersey barriers, sheet piling, etc., shall be placed upstream and downstream
of the crossing and the stream flow pumped past the impact area using a pump rated to
handle the entire stream flow.

(5) Earthen or stone cofferdams or causeways shall not be permitted in waterways unless
the cofferdam or causeway site has first been surrounded by a nonerodible stream
diversion device (described above) so there is no possibility of erosion of the cofferdam
or causeway. No diversion of a waterway shall obstruct more than lohalf the width of
the waterway at a time.
(q) Control of Construction Debris. All maintenance and repair activities shall be conducted
to prevent deposition of debris, including concrete and asphalt, in stream channels, 100 year
floodplains, and nontidal wetlands.
(r) Temporary Disturbance and Stabilization. Temporary stockpiles, excavated materials,
and fills shall not be placed in nontidal wetlands for more than 30 days, and shall be
removed in their entirety prior to completion of permitted activities and affected areas
returned to preconstruction grades. Temporary disturbance of nontidal wetlands and
nontidal wetlands buffers shall be the minimum necessary to conduct the authorized
activity, and shall be stabilized within seven days of disturbance (unless otherwise specified
in the Department’s authorization). Disturbed stream beds shall be stabilized at the end of
each workday. Where plans are prepared for authorized activities, areas subject to
temporary disturbance shall be delineated clearly.
Within nontidal wetlands and buffers, temporary stabilization shall be accomplished with
any one or combination of Annual Ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum), Millet (Setaria italica),
barley (Horedum sp.), oats (Uniola sp.), or rye (Secale cereale). Other nonpersistent
vegetation may be acceptable with the Department’s approval. Kentucky 31 fescue shall
not be used in nontidal wetlands and wetland buffers.
(s) Reestablishment of Nontidal Wetland Vegetation. Disturbances to nontidal wetlands
and nontidal wetlands buffers shall be rectified as follows:
(1) For emergent wetlands, appropriate vegetation shall be reestablished by the end of the
growing season following project completion.
(2) For forested and scrub/shrub wetlands, conditions suitable for the reestablishment of the
previous wetland plant community and structure shall be achieved by the end of the
next growing season.
(3) For wetlands or streambanks adjacent to Use III streams, trees or other shade producing
vegetation shall be planted.

and nontidal wetlands buffers shall be maintained as follows to minimize fragmentation of
forested wetlands and conversion or alteration of wetland type:
(1) Only trees that are identified as a potential threat to the safety clear zone and sight
distances shall be removed.
(2) If a forested or scrub/shrub community exists adjacent to the right-of-way, vegetation
shall be managed to maintain or establish a scrub/shrub community, and allow
maximum density and height of vegetation through selective maintenance except where
vegetation may impose or create a threat to public safety and welfare.
(u) Use of Herbicides: A Toxic Materials Permit shall be obtained from the Maryland
Department of the Environment for herbicide use in nontidal wetlands or waters, and the
application of herbicides for managing vegetation shall be conducted in conformance with
label requirements.

Additionally, an appropriate deduction will be made from the Contractor's next progress estimate
for each day or portion thereof that Maintenance of Traffic deficiencies exist, and will continue until
the deficiencies are satisfactorily corrected and accepted by the Engineer. Any portion of a day will
be assessed a full day deduction. The deduction will be equal to a prorata share of the lump sum price

estimate of that item, whichever is more.
The above noted deduction will be assessed on the next progress estimate if:
The Contractor does not take action to correct the deficiencies and properly assume the
responsibilities of maintaining the project (as determined by the Engineer) within four hours of
receiving a notice to comply with the required maintenance provisions.
The deduction will be equal to the daily prorated share of the lump sum price bid for Maintenance
of Traffic or $1,000.00 per day, whichever is more for each day or portion thereof that the deficiencies
exist, and will continue until the deficiencies and proper assumption of the required maintenance
provisions are satisfactorily corrected and accepted by the Engineer. The amount of monies deducted
will be a permanent deduction and are not recoverable. Upon satisfactory correction of the

TTMA as noted above and be positioned on the shoulder to protect the work area throughout the duration of the shoulder work operation. The work vehicle size and method of attachment shall be as specified in the TMA/TTMA manufacturer’s specification as tested under NCHRP and/or MASH Test Level 3.
When a temporary lane or shoulder closure is in effect, begin work within one hour after the lane
is closed. For any delay, greater than one hour and no work in progress, remove the lane/shoulder
closure. Ensure the Traffic Manager attends the Pre-Construction, Pre-Structural Steel Erection,
Pre-Concrete Placement, Pre-MOT Shift, and Pre-Paving Meetings and is prepared to competently
discuss traffic control, the Traffic Control Plan (TCP), and the procedures to be implemented for
lane closures.
The TMA shall remain at the work site and paid for the duration of the work day; only one TMA
is required per setup for shoulder, single or double lane(s) closures. If a second TMA is utilized, it
will be at the discretion of the Engineer.
All closures shall be in conformance with the approved TCP and at the direction of the Traffic
Manager and the Engineer.
Workers and equipment, including temporary traffic control devices needed for setting up a lane
closure or restriction, are prohibited in the lane/shoulder to be closed or restricted before the time
permitted in the Contract Documents unless otherwise approved by the Engineer.
Temporary traffic control devices to be used for lane/shoulder closure may be placed on the
shoulder of the roadway by workers no earlier than 30 minutes prior to the actual time
lane/shoulder closure or restriction is permitted. When temporary traffic control devices are being
installed, ensure that all work vehicles involved in the installation display flashing lights that
provide a 360-degree visibility of the vehicles. These lights shall remain on until the full
installation of TTC devices is complete. Temporary traffic signs may be displayed to traffic at this
time.
Workers shall not enter any lane open to traffic. Workers may be present on shoulders to prepare
for lane closure setup no earlier than 30 minutes prior to the actual time lane/ shoulder closures or
restrictions are permitted. During preparation for the lane closure, ensure that all work vehicles at
the site and involved in the installation of the lane closure or restriction display flashing lights that
provide 360-degree visibility of the vehicles, as required by MD 104.01-18B. These lights shall
remain on while the vehicle remains in the work zone and until the full implementation of the road
closure or restriction is complete.
Restore all temporary lane or shoulder closures at the end of the closure period and ensure that
no travel lane has been reduced to less than 11 ft on expressways, freeways and 10 ft on other
roadways. Prior to opening the closed lane or shoulder, clear the lane or shoulder of all material,
equipment, and debris.
Failure to restore full traffic capacity within the time specified will result in a deduction assessed

SECTION 481 — PRESSURE INJECTED EPOXY CRACK REPAIR
481.01 DESCRIPTION. Inject epoxy in cracks with a maximum width of 1/4 in. 481.02 MATERIALS. The epoxy resin shall conform to 921.04, C 881, Type I. Submit the grade for approval after the Contractor’s analysis of areas to be injected. The system shall be moisture insensitive and shall not be used when the ambient or concrete temperature is 50 F or below, nor temperatures lower than recommended by the manufacturer. The expiration date of acceptance of this material shall be one year after the date of manufacture. Any unauthorized tampering or breaking of the seals on the containers between the time of sampling and delivery to the job site will be cause for rejection of the material. 481.03 CONSTRUCTION. The locations for the pressure injection of cracks will be delineated by the Engineer. Ensure that the epoxy manufacturer’s technical representative will be present for the duration of the injection process, and submit details of the proposed method of repairs and the injection procedure for approval. Inject the epoxy with a positive displacement pump system having a suitable mixing chamber where the epoxy components are accurately metered and thoroughly mixed immediately prior to injection. A clear, legible, and accurate pressure gauge shall be located in the supply line adjacent to the mixing chamber. The equipment shall also be capable of providing a continuous and uninterrupted pressure head to continually force the injection of epoxy into the cracks.

481.03.01 Port Installation. Prior to injection of the epoxy in the crack, apply a surface seal material to the face of the crack to prevent the liquid resin from leaking out. The surface seal material shall be useable on vertical, horizontal, and overhead applications and completely bridge the crack when applied to the face of the crack. Establish openings to inject the epoxy through the surface seal material along the entire length of the crack and provide entry ports. The holes shall be 3/4 in. diameter, spaced 6 to 12 in. apart and be of sufficient depth to ensure maximum dissemination of the pressure of the epoxy throughout this area. Set inserts in drilled holes that are cleaned to remove any dust or debris left by drilling operations. Exercise special care to ensure that oil or other contaminants are not introduced into the air feed hoses, or deposited on any air blown surfaces. 481.03.02 Injection. Force the epoxy into the internal voids and cracks by means of hydraulic pressure to completely fill all internal voids. If the surface seal material has insufficient strength and adhesion to confine the injected epoxy until it has cured, remove the surface seal material and furnish and place a new surface seal material at no additional cost to the Administration. Before injecting any epoxy, activate the automatic mixing and metering pump and discharge approximately 1 pt of the mixed epoxy into a disposable container. The Engineer will observe this trial operation to determine that the equipment is working properly. If the equipment is not working properly, immediately repair it to full working condition or replace with the backup equipment. If the backup equipment is used, additional and fully operable equipment shall be provided as its backup equipment. Ensure that the feed line from the mixing equipment is securely held or properly attached to the port. Then initiate the epoxy injection in conformance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. Start the injection at the lowest row of holes and at the hole nearest the center line of structure. Continue injection at the first port until the epoxy begins to flow out of the port at the next highest elevation. Then plug the first port and start injection at the second port until the epoxy flows from the next port. Continue this sequence until the entire crack is repaired. Monitor the injection procedure to ensure the epoxy flow does not cease before the injection epoxy exudes from the adjacent port. If the epoxy flow stops before epoxy appears at the adjacent port, move the feed line to the adjacent port and seal the port just used. During the course of all operations, ensure extreme care to observe for breaking out of epoxy. When breaking out occurs, stop the injection and move the line to another crack. Resume injecting in the original location after a minimum elapse of 24 hours. Accomplish a continuous injection operation by replenishing the epoxy supply tanks in the mixing equipment before they are exhausted. Thoroughly stir each epoxy component before adding it to its respective storage tank in the mixing equipment. No discontinuity of epoxy flow through the feed lines of either component shall be permitted. Any work stoppage permitting mixed epoxy to remain in the injection equipment more than 15 minutes requires cleaning the mixing chamber and all equipment in contact with the mixed epoxy. Quantities of epoxy purged from the injection equipment shall not be included for payment.

After the injection process has been completed and the epoxy allowed to fully cure, remove the injection ports and surface seal from all surfaces. Cut or knock off ports, and grind off the surface seal and any spillage flush with the original surface. Repair any damage to the concrete due to these operations in a manner satisfactory to the Engineer at no additional cost to the Administration. The cured injected epoxy shall have penetrated a minimum of 90 percent of the visible crack. Acceptance will be based upon drilling cores of the repaired concrete to determine the depth of penetration from representative locations selected by the Engineer. If the penetration is less than 90 percent of the visible crack along the sides of the core, the crack from which the core was taken will be deemed unsatisfactory and will not be included for payment. A minimum of three 4 in. diameter core samples for the full crack depth of the member or area being repaired shall be required for each 100 ft or fraction thereof per job site. Fill the cored holes with epoxy grout. 481.04 MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT.
