be saved in the same location (i.e., folder) and saved locally on your computer, not on

a network drive.

Q8: Where do I find the Proposal Form Packet and Schedule of Prices?

A8: The Schedule of Prices and Proposal Form Packet are now condensed into a single

file that ends with “.ebsx”, this is posted as a contract document at advertisement.

For example, a contract PG6185170, the Proposal Form Packet and the Schedule of

Using the AASHTOWare Project Bids™ Bid Component software you can open the

ContractNumber.ebsx file and the software will automatically compile all the

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.

2. In making a good faith effort to achieve the MBE goal, prior to completing the Certified MBE Utilization and Fair Solicitation Affidavit and MBE Participation Schedule and prior

8



06-11-18

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. Except as permitted by law and approved by the Administration, the MBE Subcontractor Project Participation Affidavit (MDOT-OP 015-2) submitted after the opening of bids or proposals shall include all MBE firms identified on the MBE participation schedule submitted with the bid or initial proposal with a percentage of participation that meets or exceeds the percentage of participation indicated in the bid or initial proposal. The MBE Subcontractor Project Participation Affidavit (MDOT-

9



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



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



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.

12



06-11-18

C. RECORDS AND REPORTS

business transactions executed with minority business enterprises, with respect to the records referred to in C. 1., above, in such form, manner and content as prescribed by the Administration. The reports shall be due monthly on the 15th calendar day of each month. If the Contractor cannot submit their report on time, the Contractor shall notify the Administration’s representative and request additional time to submit the report. Failure of the Contractor to report in a time manner may result in a finding of noncompliance. Additional report may be required by the Administration upon request.

3. To insure compliance with the certified MBE Contract participation goal, the Contractor shall: a. Submit monthly reports listing all unpaid invoices over 30 days, from certified MBE

subcontractors, and the reason payment has not been made.

b. Include in its agreement, with certified MBE subcontractors a, requirement that MBE subcontractors are to submit monthly, to the Administration, a report identifying the prime Contractor and listing the following: (1) Payment received from the prime Contractor, in the proceeding 30 days; (2) Invoices for which the subcontractor has not been paid.

4. All such records and reports shall be retained for a period of three years following acceptance of final payment and shall be available for inspection by the Maryland Department of Transportation and this Administration.

13



06-11-18

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

14



06-11-18

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

submission of payment reports in full compliance with COMAR 21.11.03.13B (4):

$82.00 per week per MBE subcontractor.

c. Failure to comply with COMAR 21.11.03.12 in terminating, canceling, or changing the

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.

Subcontracting by the Prime Contractor. Form B Request for Approval of Subcontractor shall be used by the Prime Contractor to request approval of a Subcontractor and also to ensure that a formal Subcontract has been or will be written and kept on file by the Prime Contractor.

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.

The Administration reserves the right to verify the accuracy of the dollar value included on the

Contractor’s Affirmative Action Plan, including the value associated with the manufacture, supply,

and installation of structural steel.

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.

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.

b. The name of the EEO Officer, telephone number and address where he/she can be reached

concerning any acts or alleged acts of discrimination, will be posted on the bulletin board at the home office as well as on the bulletin boards on all job sites.

6. DISSEMINATION OF POLICY a. The Contractor will take appropriate steps to insure that all employees are advised of its policy

(1) Use good faith efforts to develop, in cooperation with the unions, joint training programs

aimed at qualifying more minorities/females for membership in the unions and increasing their skills so they may qualify for higher paying employment.

(2) Incorporate an Equal Employment Opportunity clause into all union agreements so that

they shall be contractually obligated not to discriminate in the referral of job applicants. 11. UTILIZATION OF SUBCONTRACTORS a. We will use good faith efforts to employ subcontractors whose employees reflect

minority/female groups approximately equal to the number available in the current labor pool population, or owned by minority/female.

BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES

06-05-18

1 of 5


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.

55



06-05-18

2 of 5

(g) Installation of Storm and Under Drain Outfalls. Storm and under drain outfalls eligible

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.

56

(j) Construction Access Stream Crossing. Temporary construction access crossings shall be

installed in conformance with Maryland Standards & Specifications for Sediment and

Erosion Control (latest version). If required for more than seven days, culverts shall be

utilized and fish passage shall be ensured.

(k) Clearing and Grubbing. Vegetative matter, including tree waste, root mats, etc., removed

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.

57



06-05-18

4 of 5

(3) Diversions required for work on one streambank shall use methods in (b) and pumping

is not required

(4) Other methods of stream diversion shall be approved by the Department.

(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.

58

(t) Maintenance of Right-of-Way. The rights-of-way of roads that traverse nontidal wetlands

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.

ADD: As a third paragraph.

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

bid for Maintenance of Traffic or an amount prorated from the Engineer's estimate, whichever is

more. The amount prorated will be the per diem amount established by using the working days (based

upon calendar dates when required) divided into the total value of the bid item or the Engineer's

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

CLOSURE

PERIOD

(TIME OF DAY)

ADD: The following after the last paragraph, “Any monetary savings...and the Administration.” When closing, or opening a lane or shoulder on freeways, expressways, and roadways with posted speed ≥ 55 mph, ensure a work vehicle is closely followed by a protection vehicle (PV) during installation and removal of temporary traffic control devices. The PV shall consist of a work vehicle with approved flashing lights, either a truck-mounted attenuator (TMA) with support structure designed for attaching the system to the work vehicle or a trailer truck-mounted attenuator (TTMA) designed for attaching the system to the work vehicle by a Pintle hook and an arrow panel (arrow mode for multilane roadways and caution mode on two-lane, two-way roadways). Temporary Traffic Control for shoulder work along freeways, expressways, and roadways with posted speed > 55 mph shall include the use of a PV. The PV shall be outfitted with a TMA or

76



06-07-18

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

77



06-07-18

in conformance with the following.

This is in addition to the requirements specified in TC-4.02.

The lane closure penalties for freeways are categorized by the District in which they are

located.

For Districts 1, 2 and 6, the following fee structure will be followed:

ASSESSED DEDUCTIONS FOR FREEWAYS

ELAPSED TIME,

(MINUTES) DEDUCTION

06-08-18


If the Engineer determines that the area of the existing concrete bridge deck exposed during the

test strip removal is too deteriorated, repair the exposed deck, replace in-kind that portion of the

asphalt mix wearing surface that was removed, and proceed to overlay the entire bridge with

1-1/2 in. of additional asphalt mix surface. The reduction in quantities for the pertinent pay items

associated with this option shall not be cause for renegotiation of the Contract price for these

items. The quantities shown in the Contract Documents for the pertinent pay items are based on

the entire wearing surface being removed and replaced.

Schedule and perform the test strip removal so that the bridge work can be determined prior to

performing the resurfacing on the approach roadway to the bridges.

Repair any portion of the deteriorated existing concrete bridge deck exposed during the test

strip work or any other work. Repair spalled concrete, voids, and other defects that are located

within the proposed asphalt mix wearing surface in accordance with the methods specified herein.

Deck Repairs. After removal the Engineer will inspect the entire exposed portion of the existing

concrete bridge deck and determine if any repairs are required including the type and extent of the

repair. Remove deteriorated areas of the existing concrete bridge deck down to sound concrete by

use of power driven hand tools or hand tools. After completion of removal of deteriorated concrete,

remove all rust, oil, or other foreign materials detrimental to achieving bond followed by abrasive

blasting and air blast or vacuum as determined by the Engineer.

(a) Type I Deck Repairs. This repair includes cavities less than 1 in. deep. The cavity may

require handchipping, but fill the void with the asphalt mix wearing surface.

(b) Type II Deck Repairs. This repair includes cavities 1 to 3 in. deep. Fill the cavity with rapid

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.

486.01 DESCRIPTION. Furnish and install a paved invert to various structures, fill undermined or

eroded areas of a structure with grout, and seal joints in pipes, concrete slabs, or box culverts with

grout as specified.

486.02 MATERIALS.

Reinforcement Steel 908.01, Uncoated

Carbon Steel Anchor Fasteners (Hardware) 909.10

486.02.01 Grout. Grout shall consist of 846 lbs./yd3 of Type II Portland cement, 6+1 percent air

entrainment by volume, mortar sand aggregate, and water proportioned to provide a pumpable

mixture. The 28-day compressive strength shall be 3,500 psi minimum.

486.03 CONSTRUCTION. Install all sediment and erosion control devices, dewatering basins,

stream diversion dikes, and stream diversion pumps and hoses prior to doing any of the paved invert

repairs. Perform work in accordance with the Best Management Practices included in this Invitation

for Bids. Maintenance of stream flow shall be continuous conforming to Section 308.03.42.

Remove all debris at the inlet, outlet, and inside the pipe by hand or by water blast cleaning. The

Contractor is alerted that the quantity of debris varies based on erosion and deposition. Bids shall

account for anticipated changes in debris. No additional compensation will be given for changes in

the debris quantities from those assumed at the time of bidding. Smooth transitions shall be provided

at the inlet and outlet to gradually slope the grade from the cleaned elevation to the original ground

within the limits of disturbance as shown in the Contract Documents. All debris shall be disposed of

at an approved site.

Prior to paving the structure invert with grout, water blast cleaning is required for all surfaces of the

existing structure that will be in contact with the new grout invert including any surface areas with

protective coatings. When cleaning the surfaces of existing structure, the Contractor shall use a

minimum pressure of 4,000 psi measured at the nozzle, and a rotary tip.

Prior to commencing water blast cleaning, the Contractor shall prepare, and present to the Maryland

Department of Environment (MDE), Water Management Administration for approval, a plan

showing all existing features (i.e. inlets, channels, ditches, swales and streams) that may be impacted

by the operation, and demonstrate methods to control and prevent runoff from entering waterways or

leaving the work site. No water blast cleaning may be undertaken until the Contractor’s methods are

approved.

All wash water from the cleaning operation shall be collected and disposed of at a water treatment

facility approved by MDE.

115



06-08-18

Immediately after cleaning the Engineer and Contractor will inspect the structure to locate any

water leaks along the length of the invert.

Sealing leaks will be required if the volume of water leaking into the structure meets the

following criteria:

(a) A steady flow of water collects in the corrugations, and

(b) results in a continuous flow or steam through the dewatered structure.

The length of structure to be sealed will be measured in 1 foot increments. Seal only the areas with

holes, missing sections of structure, or joint locations where water is leaking into the structure. Fill

by any approved means all voids under the structure around a leak.

These sealed areas shall prevent any water from entering the structure. The material used shall be

placed to conform to the shape of the structure without filling the bottom corrugation. Remove any

sealant above the top surface of the bottom corrugation, “trough area”. The grout paving shall occupy

the same area in a sealed location as it does in an area that is not sealed.

Sealing leaks will not be required if the Engineer determines that leaks are insignificant and should

have no adverse impact to installation of the grout invert.

Where reinforcing steel is to be welded to a corrugated pipe that has a galvanized surface, remove

the galvanized coating with power tool prior to welding. Install all reinforcing steel including any

anchors, as specified.

Ensure that the surface of the structure to be paved is free of all loose scale, concrete, rust; oil,

asphalt coatings, or any other foreign material that could act as a bond breaker. Ensure that the surface

is clean and dry prior to placing the grout.

Mixers and agitators shall conform to 915.03.04.

The concrete/grout pump shall be capable of delivering up to 25 yd3/hr.

Invert paving of these structures may be performed in stages when approved.

Stream flow and dewatering for each stage shall be controlled, including secondary inflows such as

median inlets, manholes, etc. At the start and end of each stage, the Contractor shall adjust the controls

as needed for the subsequent stage. Secondary inflows may be blocked off allowing ponding in areas

that do not negatively affect roadways, properties, features, etc. as determined by the Engineer.

Alternatively, the secondary inflows may be pumped or directed to nearby, storm drains, or either end

of the pipe being paved. All controls for secondary inflows must be approved by the Engineer prior

to installation.

116



06-08-18

Ready mixed high strength grout may be permitted by written permission of the Engineer. The

ready mixed high strength grout shall be furnished by a manufacturer approved by the Office of

Materials Technology, and the plant, equipment, etc., shall be subject to inspection and approval.

Invert paving may be completed using either pumping, pouring or shooting. For additional

information about shooting refer to Section 423. A smooth finished surface shall be obtained,

regardless of method (s) used.

Cure the paved invert as specified in 420.03.08 (a). Do not permit the water to flow over the grout

surface during the curing period.

In areas where the original protective coating was removed and is not covered by the new grout

invert repair the original coating as specified by the Engineer.

At the completion of all repairs in the waterway and as the last order of work, remove all the

sediment and erosion control devices, dewatering basins, stream diversion dikes, and stream diversion

pumps and hoses. Return the construction area to preconstruction conditions or better. Sediment and

erosion controls shall be removed without spillage of the collected materials, including removal and

disposal by hand.

Whenever possible apply the coating without thinning. When thinning is required, use the thinner recommended by and at the rate specified by the manufacturer. When thinner is used, it may be necessary to apply three coats in lieu of two to provide the specified dry film thickness. Ensure that the finished coating is generally smooth, glossy, and free of sharp protuberances. Sags, dimpling, and curtaining will be permitted up to a maximum of 3 percent of the surface. Cut off sharp protuberances using a sharp wood chisel, grinding, or other means acceptable to the Engineer. Smooth the surface of the areas from which material has been removed by recoating. Inspection. Notify the Engineer when the coating operations are completed and ready for inspection. Inspection of the completed work will be by the use of magnetic detector or low voltage detector readings and by visual inspection for pinholes and holidays. Touch up areas designated as being inadequately coated in accordance with the coating manufacturer’s recommendations. When five or more deficiencies are found in a 100 ft2 area, the Engineer may require recoating of the entire area in which they occur. Provide the holiday detector for inspection. Safety. Whenever spraying the coating in enclosed spaces, provide an adequate ventilation system except as specified herein. The system shall be capable of positively exchanging the air in the enclosed space for fresh air at the rate of not less than 5000 ft3 per minute for each spray gun in operation, and all parts of the space shall be swept by moving air. Operate the ventilating system during the entire application period and continue after spraying has halted until the applied film is no longer giving off appreciable solvent vapors. The air in the enclosure shall be safe at all times from fire and explosion hazards as determined by a commercially available explosion meter approved by the Engineer.

All respirators used for this type of work shall at a minimum meet OSHA Standards, Regulations, and the manufacturer’s MSDS. MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT. Cleaning the designated areas and coating with coal tar epoxy will not be measured but the cost will be incidental to the pertinent Cleaning and Painting item specified in the Contract Documents.

Prior to use of equipment mentioned above, the Contractor shall submit to the Administration written certification for each proposed equipment having received a complete Acoustic Emission and Load Test performed by a qualified independent inspection and testing firm within the past 12 months. This firm shall provide to the Engineer written certification that the equipment meets and conforms to all applicable inspection criteria specified in these Special Provisions and ASTM F914-10, Standard Test Method for Acoustic Emission for Aerial Personnel Devices without Supplemental Load Handling Attachments.

These tests shall be performed by a qualified independent inspection and testing firm and must be performed every 12 months. The firms shall provide to the Engineer a written certification that the equipment meets these requirements prior to use. All equipment mentioned above with unsatisfactory inspection and testing results shall be rejected for use. All inspection and testing certification and repairs shall be at no cost to the Administration. At any time during the Contract, the Engineer may request additional inspections and tests to be performed by an independent qualified firm in conformance with the above criteria.

costs of the additional inspections and tests. The Administration will not be responsible for delays in the Contractor’s work schedule caused by the performance of the additional inspections and tests regardless of the results unless otherwise indicated in the Contract Documents. MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT. A price has been established for the Specialized Equipment for Structure Preservation and Minor Rehabilitation item in the Schedule of Prices, which the bidder shall not alter. There is no guarantee that any or all of this item will be used during the term of the Contract. Payment for Specialized Equipment for Structure Preservation and Minor Rehabilitation will be in conformance with TC-7.03, with the following exceptions: (a) Hourly rental rates for Blue Book equipment shall be calculated by taking the published daily Blue

Book rate divided by eight, plus the hourly operating costs.

(b) Required Blue Book equipment will be paid at the calculated hourly Blue Book rate for actual hours used plus standby time up to 8 hours per day (for up to 3 work days). All required Blue Book equipment will receive a total (actual hours used plus standby) of 8 hours minimum for each workday that the equipment is actually used.

(c) The hourly standby rate is equal to half of the calculated Blue Book hourly rate (daily rate divided

by eight). Hourly operating costs are not included in the calculation of standby rates.

(d) Blue Book equipment will receive standby time on workdays when the equipment is not used only if previously approved by the Engineer. The Engineer will base this decision on the economics of paying standby time versus paying to demobilize/remobilize a piece of equipment when needed. Standby time for approved Blue Book equipment not used shall be 8 hours per workday.

(e) Should specialized equipment be required, Contractors who have subsidiary equipment rental

companies may not rent equipment from those companies unless their prices are competitive with the prevailing equipment rental rates being paid in the area where work is being performed.

(f) Should the Contractor desire to rent from the associated company, the Engineer will require the

Contractor to provide documentation that the prices paid for equipment rental are competitive with the equipment rental industry. This documentation shall include at least three price quotations from rental companies. All documentation shall be presented to the Engineer before the equipment is delivered to the job site.

(g) No additional administrative or other markups will be allowed.

(h) A copy of the hourly rental rates for Blue Book equipment shall be made available to the

Administration at the pre-construction meeting and subsequently, annually on the first working day after the Christmas holidays.

SECTION 875 — UTILITIES STATEMENT

875.01 DESCRIPTION. The Contractor's attention is called to the requirements of Sections

GP-5.05, GP-7.13 and GP-7.17.

875.02 MATERIALS. Not Applicable.


(a) Attention of the Contractor is directed to the possible presence of water, sewer, gas mains,

electrical wires, conduit, communications cables (both overhead and underground), poles

and house service connections in the street or highway in which the construction project is

to be performed. The Contractor shall exercise special care and extreme caution to protect

and avoid damage to utility company facilities as described in the preceding sentence. The

Contractor shall take into consideration the adjustments and installations by public utilities

in areas within the limits of this Contract. Existing utilities have been generally located and

shown on the Plans as they are believed to exist; however, the Administration assumes no

responsibility for the accuracy of these locations.

Prior to ordering any storm drain or water/sewer main materials, the Contractor shall locate

and test pit any underground facilities that appear to be in conflict in order to determine if

conflicts exist. In the event that conflicts may be possible, this information shall

immediately be forwarded to the Administration’s representative for review and resolution.

Material ordered prior to obtaining test pit information will not be considered in any request

from the Contractor for any equitable adjustments due to existing utility conflicts.

(b) The Contractor shall locate all existing utilities and be responsible for their safety. Should

any existing utilities be damaged or destroyed due to the operations of the Contractor, the

damaged or destroyed components shall be immediately replaced or repaired as necessary

to restore the utility to a satisfactory operating condition. These repairs or replacements

shall be at no additional cost to the Administration or the owner of the utility.

(c) The existing utilities requiring relocation or adjustment shall be relocated or removed by

the agency responsible for their maintenance or by the owner of the utility unless otherwise

indicated in the Contract Documents. The Contractor shall inform the respective utility

companies at least five days prior to working in any area. In addition, the Contractor shall

give sufficient notice to the specific utilities of the Contractor's overall plan for

construction. The utility companies will establish the lead time necessary to meet the

applicable utility work schedule and coordinate with the Contractor's work operations based

upon the Contractor's overall plan.

utility relocations and adjustments with the affected utility owners, the Project Engineer,

and the District Utility Engineer. All requirements and lead times as stated in Section 875

and elsewhere in the Special Provisions will remain in effect unless written approval from

the utility company and the District Utility Engineer is received by the Contractor prior to

commencing any requested work.
