(Project 33849) ____________________________________________________________________________________ OBJECTIVE: To construct five-foot wide paved bike lanes on both sides of Green Blvd from Santa Barbara Blvd to Sunshine Blvd, with funding assistance from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Local Agency Program (LAP). CONSIDERATION: In 2014, County staff submitted an application to the Collier Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for funding of the Green Blvd bike lane project. The project was included in the adopted 2014 Pathway Prioritized Project list. The project remained on the priority list for several years before being programmed into the FDOT Work Program. The project appeared in the 2017 FDOT Work Program for design services in FY 2020/21 for $226,000. Construction funding was programmed in the 2019 FDOT Work Program for FY 2023 for $983,670. As a result of rising construction costs, County staff requested additional funds from FDOT earlier this year to bridge the gap between the estimated construction cost and FDOT programmed construction funds. On March 12, 2024, the Board approved a supplemental LAP agreement adding $1,111,000 in construction funds. FDOT is empowered by legislative authority to contract with other governmental (local) agencies to develop, design, and construct transportation facilities and to reimburse these governmental agencies for services provided to the traveling public. The FDOT LAP, administered at the FDOT district level, is used to complete a prioritized project from FDOT’s Five-Year Work Program. Collier County is LAP certified and the Transportation Management Services Department staff will be responsible for the administration of the project’s construction phase. In-house staff will be responsible for federal and FDOT grant compliance.

B. Liquidated Damages in General. Owner and Contractor recognize that, since time is of the essence for this Agreement, Owner will suffer financial loss if Contractor fails to achieve Substantial Completion within the time specified above, as said time may be adjusted as provided for herein. In such event, the total amount of Owner's damages, will be difficult, if not impossible, to definitely ascertain and quantify. Should Contractor fail to achieve Substantial Completion within the number of calendar days established herein, Owner shall be entitled to assess, as liquidated damages, but not as a penalty, One Thousand Six Hundred {ninety -Four Dollars ($1,694.00) for each calendar day thereafter until Substantial Completion is achieved.

The Project shall be deemed to 2 Construction Services LAP Agreement: [2024_ver.1] be substantially completed on the date the Project Manager (or at his/her direction, the Design Professional) issues a Certificate of Substantial Completion pursuant to the terms hereof, and as more particularly defined herein at Section 16, Defined Terms. Contractor hereby expressly waives and relinquishes any right which it may have to seek to characterize the above noted liquidated damages as a penalty, which the parties agree represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the Owner's actual damages at the time of contracting if Contractor fails to Substantially or Finally Complete the Work within the required time periods. C. Computation of Time Periods. When any period of time is referenced by days herein, it shall be computed to exclude the first day and include the last day of such period. If the last day of any such period falls on a Saturday or Sunday or on a day made a legal holiday by the law of the applicable jurisdiction, such day shall be omitted from the computation, and the last day shall become the next succeeding day which is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday. D. Determination of Number of Days of Default. For all contracts, the Owner will count default days in calendar days. E. Right of Collection. The Owner has the right to apply any amounts due Contractor under this Agreement or any other agreement between Owner and Contractor, as payment on such liquidated damages due under this Agreement in Owner's sole discretion. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary. Owner retains its right to liquidated damages due under this Agreement even if Contractor, at Owner's election and in its sole discretion, is allowed to continue and to finish the Work, or any part of it, after the expiration of the Contract Time including granted time extensions, F. Completion of Work by Owner. In the event Contractor defaults on any of its obligations under the Agreement and Owner elects to complete the Work, in whole or in part, through another contractor or its own forces, the Contractor and its surety shall continue to be liable for the liquidated damages under the Agreement until Owner achieves Substantial and Final Completion of the Work, as more particularly defined herein at Section 16, Defined Terms. Owner will not charge liquidated damages for any delay in achieving Substantial or Final Completion as a result of any unreasonable action or delay on the part of the Owner. G. Final Acceptance by Owner. The Owner shall consider the Agreement complete when the Contractor has completed in its entirety all of the Work and the Owner has accepted all of the Work and notified the Contractor in writing that the Work is complete. Once the Owner has approved and accepted the Work, Contractor shall be entitled to final payment in accordance with the terms of the Contract Documents. H. Recovery of Damages Suffered by Third Parties. Contractor shall be liable to Owner to the extent Owner incurs damages from a third party as a result of Contractor's failure to fulfill all of its obligations under the Contract Documents. Owner's recovery of any delay related damages under this Agreement through the liquidated damages does not preclude Owner from recovering from Contractor any other non -delay related damages that may be owed to it arising out of or relating to this Agreement. 3 Construction Services LAP Agreement: [2024_ver.11 ct� Section 6.

CONTRACTOR: WITNESS: Signature Signature Name Printed and Title Name Printed EXHIBIT H: GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS 1. INTENT OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS, 1.1 It is the intent of the Contract Documents to describe a functionally complete Project (or portion thereof) to be constructed in accordance with the Contract Documents. Any work, materials or equipment that may reasonably be inferred from the Contract Documents as being required to produce the intended result shall be supplied whether or not specifically called for. When words which have a well-known technical or trade meaning are used to describe work, materials or equipment, such words shall be interpreted in accordance with that meaning. Reference to standard specifications, manuals or codes of any technical society, organization, or association or to the laws or regulations of any governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Project, whether such reference be specific or by implication, shall mean the latest standard specification, manual, code, law or regulation in effect at the time the Work is performed, except as may be otherwise specifically stated herein. 1.2 If before or during the performance of the Work Contractor discovers a conflict, error or discrepancy in the Contract Documents, Contractor immediately shall report same to the Project Manager in writing and before proceeding with the Work affected thereby shall obtain a written interpretation or clarification from the Project Manager; said interpretation or clarification from the Project Manager may require Contractor to consult directly with Design Professional or some other third party, as directed by Project Manager. Contractor shall take field measurements and verify field conditions and shall carefully compare such field measurements and conditions and other information known to Contractor with the Contract Documents before commencing any portion of the Work. 1.3 Drawings are intended to show general arrangements, design and extent of Work and are not intended to serve as shop drawings. Specifications are separated into divisions for convenience of reference only and shall not be interpreted as establishing divisions for the Work, trades, subcontracts, or extent of any part of the Work. In the event of a discrepancy between or among the drawings, specifications or other Contract Document provisions, Contractor shall be required to comply with the provision which is the more restrictive or stringent requirement upon the Contractor, as determined by the Project Manager. Unless otherwise specifically mentioned, all anchors, bolts, screws, fittings, fillers, hardware, accessories, trim and other parts required in connection with any portion of the Work to make a complete, serviceable, finished and first quality installation shall be furnished and installed as part of the Work, whether or not called for by the Contract Documents. 2. INVESTIGATION AND UTILITIES. 2.1 Subject to Section 2.3 below, Contractor shall have the sole responsibility of satisfying itself concerning the nature and location of the Work and the general and local conditions, and particularly, but without limitation, with respect to the following: those affecting transportation, access, disposal, handling and storage of materials; availability and quality of labor; water and electric power; availability and condition of roads; work area; living facilities; climatic conditions and seasons; physical conditions at the work -site and the project area as a whole; topography and ground surface conditions; nature and quantity of the surface materials to be encountered; subsurface conditions; equipment and facilities needed preliminary to and during performance of the Work; and all other costs associated with such performance. The failure of Contractor to acquaint itself with any applicable conditions shall not relieve Contractor from any of its responsibilities to perform under the Contract Documents, nor shall it be considered the basis for any claim for additional time or compensation. 28 Construction Services LAP Agreement: [2024_ver.1] �` 2.2 Contractor shall locate all existing roadways, railways, drainage facilities and utility services above, upon, or under the Project site, said roadways, railways, drainage facilities and utilities being referred to in this Sub -Section 2.2 as the "Utilities", Contractor shall contact the owners of all Utilities to determine the necessity for relocating or temporarily interrupting any Utilities during the construction of the Project. Contractor shall schedule and coordinate its Work around any such relocation or temporary service interruption. Contractor shall be responsible for properly shoring, supporting, and protecting all Utilities at all times during the course of the Work. The Contractor is responsible for coordinating all other utility work so as to not interfere with the prosecution of the Work (except those utilities to be coordinated by the Owner as may be expressly described elsewhere in the Contract Documents), 2.3 Notwithstanding anything in the Contract Documents to the contrary, if conditions are encountered at the Project site which are (i) subsurface or otherwise concealed physical conditions which differ materially from those indicated in the Contract Documents or (ii) unknown physical conditions of an unusual nature, which differ materially from those ordinarily found to exist and generally recognized as inherent in construction activities of the character provided for in the Contract Documents, and which reasonably should not have been discovered by Contractor as part of its scope of site investigative services required pursuant to the terms of the Contract Documents, then Contractor shall provide Owner with prompt written notice thereof before conditions are disturbed and in no event later than three (3) calendar days after first observance of such conditions. Owner and Design Professional shall promptly investigate such conditions and, if they differ materially and cause an increase or decrease in Contractor's cost of, or time required for, performance of any part of the Work, Owner will acknowledge and agree to an equitable adjustment to Contractor's compensation or time for performance, or both, for such Work. If Owner determines that the conditions at the site are not materially different from those indicated in the Contract Documents or not of an unusual nature or should have been discovered by Contractor as part of its investigative services, and that no change in the terms of the Agreement is justified, Owner shall so notify Contractor in writing, stating its reasons. Claims by Contractor in opposition to such determination by Owner must be made within seven (7) calendar days after Contractor's receipt of Owner's written determination notice. If Owner and Contractor cannot agree on an adjustment to Contractor's cost or time of performance, the dispute resolution procedure set forth in the Contract Documents shall be complied with by the parties. 3. SCHEDULE. 3.1 The Contractor, within ten (10) calendar days after the Board's award of the Agreement, shall prepare and submit to Project Manager, for their review and approval, a progress schedule for the Project (herein "Progress Schedule"). The Progress Schedule shall relate to all Work required by the Contract Documents and shall utilize the Critical Path method of scheduling and shall provide for expeditious and practicable execution of the Work within the Contract Time. The Progress Schedule shall indicate the dates for starting and completing the various stages of the Work. 3.2 The Progress Schedule shall be updated monthly by the Contractor. All monthly updates to the Progress Schedule shall be subject to the Project Manager's review and approval. Contractor shall submit the updates to the Progress Schedule with its monthly Applications for Payment noted below. The Project Manager's review and approval of the submitted Progress Schedule updates shall be a condition precedent to the Owner's obligation to pay Contractor. 3.3 All work under this Agreement shall be performed in accordance with the requirements of all Collier County Noise Ordinances then in effect. Unless otherwise specified, work will generally be 29 Construction Services LAP Agreement: [2024_ver.11 l4CAl� limited to the hours of 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Saturday. No work shall be performed outside the specified hours without the prior approval of the Project Manager. 4. PROGRESS PAYMENTS. 4.1 At least ten (10) days prior to submitting the monthly Application for Payment, the Contractor shall submit to the Project Manager a final schedule of values and "cash flow projection" that establishes the projected date for the construction/installation for all activities of the Work shown on the accepted schedule, including quantities and unit prices totaling to the Contract Price. The Schedule of Values shall be satisfactory in form and substance to the Project Manager and shall subdivide the Work into component parts in sufficient detail to serve as the basis for measuring quantities in place and calculating amounts for the Contractor's monthly progress payments during construction. Further, it shall include the list of its Subcontractors and materialmen submitted with its Bid showing the work and materials involved and the dollar amount of each subcontract and purchase order. Contractor acknowledges and agrees that any modifications to the list of Subcontractors submitted with Contractor's Bid and any subsequently identified Subcontractors are subject to Owner's prior written approval. Unsupported or unreasonable allocation of the Contract Price to any one activity shall be justification for rejection of the Schedule of Values. The Contractor shall not submit an unbalanced schedule of values which provides for overpayment to the Contractor on activities that would be performed first. The schedule of values shall be revised and resubmitted until acceptable to the Project Manager. Once the schedule has been accepted by the Project Manager, the Owner reserves the right (at its option) throughout the Contract to require that the Contractor honor a particular price contained in the schedule of values, if the activity pertaining to it is being deleted or modified. Upon approval of the schedule of values by the Project Manager, it shall be incorporated into the form of Application for Payment attached to the Agreement as Exhibit D and shall be used as the basis for the Contractor's monthly Applications for Payment, The schedule shall be updated and submitted each month along with a completed copy of the Application for Payment form signed by the Contractor's authorized representative. 4.2 The first Application for Payment shall be submitted no earlier than thirty (30) days after the Commencement Date, and monthly thereafter, but not more often than once a month or prior to substantial completion being met. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if approved by Owner in its sole discretion, Contractor may submit its invoice for any required Payment and Performance Bonds prior to the first Application of Payment provided that Contractor has furnished Owner certified copies of the receipts evidencing the premium paid by Contractor for the bonds. 4.3 Unless expressly approved by Owner in advance and in writing, said approval at Owner's sole discretion, Owner is not required to make any payment for materials or equipment that have not been incorporated into the Project. If payment is requested on the basis of materials and equipment not incorporated into the Project, but delivered and suitably stored at the site or at another location agreed to by the Owner in writing, the Application for Payment shall also be accompanied by a bill of sale, invoice or other documentation warranting that the Owner has received the materials and equipment free and clear of all liens, charges, security interests and encumbrances, together with evidence that the materials and equipment are covered by appropriate property insurance and other arrangements to protect Owner's interest therein, all of which shall be subject to the Owner's satisfaction. Thereafter, with each Application for Payment, Contractor also shall complete and submit to Owner as part of its Application for Payment, the Stored Materials Record form attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit D-3. 30 Construction Services LAP Agreement: 12024_ver.11 f (f .� 4.4 The cash flow projection shall be a fixed monthly projection of the value of Work in place. If the actual cash flow (represented by the Application for Payment) for any month is less than eighty- five percent (85%) of the projected amount for that month (as established by the Contractor in the cash flow projection form it submits), then the Contractor may be barred from bidding other County projects until the value of Work in place is corrected and within ninety-five (95%) of the projected value. (See attached Exhibit D-4, Cash Flow Projection form). 4.5 . Contractor shall submit its monthly Application for Payment to the Project Manager or his or her designee, as directed by Owner (which designee may include the Design Professional). Within twenty (20) business days after the date of each Application for Payment is stamped as received, and within the timeframes set forth in Section 218.735 F.S., the Project Manager, or Design Professional, shall either: (1) Indicate its approval of the requested payment; (2) indicate its approval of only a portion of the requested payment, stating in writing its reasons therefor; or (3) return. the Application for Payment to the Contractor indicating, in writing, the reason for refusing to approve payment. Payments of proper invoices shall be processed in accordance with Section 218.735, F.S. and the terms of the Contract Documents. 4.6 In the event of a total denial by Owner and return of the Application for Payment by the Project Manager, the Contractor may make the necessary corrections and re -submit the Application for Payment. The Owner shall, within ten (10) business days after the Application for Payment is stamped and received and after Project Manager approval of an Application for Payment, pay the Contractor the amounts so approved. 4.7 Owner shall withhold retainage on the gross amount of each monthly progress in the amount of five percent (5%), as permitted by Section 255.078, Florida Statutes. The foregoing does not prohibit Owner from withholding retainage at a rate less than five percent (5%) of each monthly progress payment as otherwise allowable under Section 255,078, Florida Statutes. Any reduction in retainage below the maximum amount set forth in Section 255,078, Florida Statutes shall be at the sole discretion of the Owner. Such retainage shall be accumulated and not released to Contractor until final payment is due unless otherwise agreed to by the Owner in accordance with Florida Statute 255,078. Any interest earned on retainage shall accrue to the benefit of the Owner. 4.8 Monthly payments to Contractor shall in no way imply approval or acceptance of Contractor's Work. 4.9 Each Application for Payment, subsequent to the first pay application, shall be accompanied by a Release and Affidavit, in the form attached as Exhibit C, acknowledging Contractor's receipt of payment in full for all materials, labor, equipment and other bills that are then due and payable by Owner with respect to the current Application for Payment. Further, to the extent directed by Owner and in Owner's sole discretion, Contractor shall also submit a Release and Affidavit from each Subcontractor, sub -subcontractor, or supplier in the form attached as Exhibit C. acknowledging that each Subcontractor, sub -subcontractor, or supplier has been paid in full through the previous month's Application for Payment. The Owner shall not be required to make payment until and unless these affidavits are furnished by Contractor. 4.10 Contractor agrees and understands that funding limitations exist and that the expenditure of funds must be spread over the duration of the Project at regular intervals based on the Contract Amount and Progress Schedule. Accordingly, prior to submitting its first monthly Application for Payment, Contractor shall prepare and submit for Project Manager's review and approval, a detailed Cash Flow Projection, which shall be updated as necessary and approved by Owner to reflect approved adjustments to the Contract Amount and Contract Time. No voluntary acceleration or early 31 Construction Services LAP Agreement: [2024_ver.11 -� G 11\n) completion of the Work shall modify the time of payments to Contractor as set forth in Exhibit D-4, Cash Flow Projection. 4.11 Notwithstanding anything in the Contract Documents to the contrary, Contractor acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a dispute concerning payments for Work performed under this Agreement, Contractor shall continue to perform the Work required of it under this Agreement pending resolution of the dispute provided that Owner continues to pay Contractor all amounts that Owner does not dispute are due and payable. 4.12 Payments will be made for services furnished, delivered, and accepted, upon receipt and approval of invoices submitted on the date of services or within six (6) months after completion of contract. Any untimely submission of invoices beyond the specified deadline period is subject to non- payment under the legal doctrine of "laches" as untimely submitted. Time shall be deemed of the essence with respect to the timely submission of invoices under this agreement. 4.13 The Owner may, at its discretion, use VISAIMASTER card credit network as a payment vehicle for goods and/or services purchased as a part of this contract. The Owner may not accept any additional surcharges (credit card transaction fees) as a result of using the Owner's credit card for transactions relating to this agreement. 5. PAYMENTS WITHHELD. 5.1 The Project Manager may decline to approve any Application for Payment, or portions thereof, because of subsequently discovered evidence or subsequent inspections that reveal non- compliance with the Contract Documents. The Project Manager may nullify the whole or any part of any approval for payment previously issued and Owner may withhold any payments otherwise due Contractor under this Agreement or any other agreement between Owner and Contractor, to such extent as may be necessary in the Owner's opinion to protect it from loss because of: (a) Defective Work not remedied; (b) third party claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing of such claims; (c) failure of Contractor to make payment properly to subcontractors or for labor, materials or equipment; (d) reasonable doubt that the Work can be completed for the unpaid balance of the Contract Amount; (e) reasonable indication that the Work will not be completed within the Contract Time; (f) unsatisfactory prosecution of the Work by the Contractor; or (g) any other material breach of the Contract Documents by Contractor. 5.2 If any conditions described in 5.1. are not remedied or removed, Owner may, after three (3) days written notice, rectify the same at Contractor's expense. Provided however, in the event of an emergency, Owner shall not be required to provide Contractor any written notice prior to rectifying the situation at Contractor's expense. Owner also may offset against any sums due Contractor the amount of any liquidated or non -liquidated obligations of Contractor to Owner, whether relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other agreement between Contractor and Owner. 5.3 In instances where the Contractor may owe debts (including, but not limited to taxes or other fees) to Collier County and the contractor has not satisfied nor made arrangement to satisfy these debts, the County reserves the right to off -set the amount owed to the County by applying the amount owed to the vendor or contractor for services performed of for materials delivered in association with a contract. 32 Construction Services LAP Agreement: t2024_ver.11 CAO 6. FINAL PAYMENT. 6.1 Owner shall make Final Payment to Contractor in accordance with Section 218.735, F.S. and the terms of the Contract Documents after the Work is finally inspected and accepted by Project Manager as set forth with Section 20.1 herein, provided that Contractor first, and as an explicit condition precedent to the accrual of Contractor's right to Final Payment, shall have furnished Owner with a properly executed and notarized copy of the Release and Affidavit form attached as Exhibit C, as well as, a duly executed copy of the Surety's consent to Final Payment and such other documentation that may be required by the Contract Documents and the Owner.

Report monthly, through the Equal Opportunity Compliance System on the Department's Website, actual payments (including retainage) made to DBEs for work performed with their own workforce and equipment in the area in which they are certified. Report payments made to all DBE and Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) subcontractors and DBE and MBE construction material and major suppliers. The Equal Opportunity Office will provide instructions on accessing this system. Develop a record keeping system to monitor DBE affirmative action efforts which include the following: 1. the procedures adopted to comply with these Specifications; 2. the number of subordinated Contracts on Department projects awarded to DBEs; 3. the dollar value of the Contracts awarded to DBEs; 4. the percentage of the dollar value of all subordinated Contracts awarded to DBEs as a percentage of the total Contract amount; 5. a description of the general categories of Contracts awarded to DBEs; and 6, the specific efforts employed to identify and award Contracts to DBEs.

DBE credit can only be awarded for work actually performed by DBEs themselves for the types of work for which they are certified. When reporting DBE Commitments, only include the dollars that a DBE is expected to earn for work they perform with their own workforce and equipment. Update DBE Commitments to reflect changes to the initial amount that was previously reported or to add DBEs not initially reported. When a DBE participates in a contract, the value of the work is determined in accordance with 49 CFR Part 26.55, for example: Exhibit I - 3 EXHIBIT I - SUPPLEMENTAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS 1. The Department will count only the value of the work performed by the DBE toward DBE goals. The entire amount of the contract that is performed by the DBE's own forces (including the cost of supplies, equipment and materials obtained by the DBE for the contract work) will be counted as DBE credit, 2. The Department will count the entire amount of fees or commissions charged by the DBE firm for providing a bona fide service, such as professional, technical, consultant, or managerial services or for providing bonds or insurance specifically required for the performance of a Department -assisted contract, toward DBE goals, provided that the Department determines the fees to be reasonable and not excessive as compared with fees customarily followed for similar services. 3. When the DBE subcontracts part of the work of its contract to another firm, the Department will count the value of the subcontracted work only if the DBE's subcontractor is itself a DBE. Work that a DBE subcontracts to a non -DBE firm does not count toward DBE goals. 4. When a DBE performs as a participant in a joint venture, the Department will count the portion of the dollar value of the contract equal to the distinct, clearly defined portion of the work the DBE performs with its own forces toward DBE goals. 5. The Contractors shall ensure that only expenditures to DBEs that perform a commercially useful function (CUF) in the work of a contract may be counted toward the voluntary DBE goal. 6. A DBE performs a commercially useful function when it is responsible for execution of the work of the contract and is carrying out its responsibilities by actually performing, managing, and supervising the work involved. To perform a commercially useful function, the DBE must also be responsible, with respect to materials and supplies used on the contract, for negotiating price, determining quality and quantity, ordering the material, and installing (where applicable) and paying for the material itself. 7. Contractors wishing to use joint checks involving DBE credit must provide written notice to the District Contract Compliance Office prior to issuance of the joint check. The Contractor must also provide a copy of the notice to the DBE subcontractor and maintain a copy with the project records. 8. To determine whether a DBE is performing a commercially useful function, the Department will evaluate the amount of work subcontracted, industry practices, whether the amount the firm is to be paid under the contract is commensurate with the work it is actually performing and the DBE credit claimed for its performance of the work, and other relevant factors. 9. A DBE does not perform a commercially useful function if its role is limited to that of an extra participant in a transaction, contract, or project through which funds are passed in order to obtain the appearance of DBE participation. 10. if a DBE does not perform or exercise responsibility for at least 30% of the total cost of its contract with its own workforce, or if the DBE subcontracts a greater portion of the work of a contract than would be expected on the basis of normal industry practice for the type of work involved, the DBE has not performed a commercially useful function. 7-24.6 Prompt Payments: Meet the requirements of 9-5 for payments to all DBE subcontractors.

Required Sections 7-1.4 and 7-1.8 of FDOT's Division 1 Standard Specification that are included in FDOT's Division 1 specification package for Local Agencies on the FDOT Specs on the Web page. Those Specs are detailed below. 7-1.4 Compliance with Federal Endangered Species Act and other Wildlife Regulations: The Federal Endangered Species Act requires that the Department investigate the potential impact to a threatened or endangered species prior to initiating an activity performed in conjunction with a highway construction project. If the Department's investigation determines that there is a potential impact to a protected, threatened or an endangered species, the Department will conduct an evaluation to determine what measures may be necessary to mitigate such impact. When mitigation measures and/or special conditions are necessary, these measures and conditions will be addressed on the plans or in permits as identified in 7-2.1. In addition, in cases where certain protected, threatened or endangered species are found or appear within close proximity to the project boundaries, the Department has established guidelines that will apply when interaction with certain species occurs, absent of any special mitigation measures or permit conditions otherwise identified for the project, These guidelines are posted at the following URL address: htt satfdotwww.blob.core.windows.net/sitefinit /docsldefault- sourcelprogrammanagement/implementedlurlinsl)ecslfiles/endangeredwildlifeguidelines.pdf?sfvrsn=e27b af3f 2. Take responsibility to obtain this information and take all actions and precautions necessary to comply with the conditions of these guidelines during all project activities. Prior to establishing any off -project activity in conjunction with a project, notify the Engineer of the proposed activity. Covered activities include but are not necessarily limited to borrow pits, concrete or asphalt plant sites, disposal sites, field offices, and material or equipment storage sites. Include in the notification the Financial Project ID, a description of the activity, the location of the site by township, range, section, county, and city, a site location map including the access route, the name of the property owner, and a person to contact to arrange a site inspection. Provide this notification sufficiently in advance of planned commencement of the off -site activity, to allow a reasonable period of time for the Engineer to conduct an investigation without delaying job progress. Do not perform any off -project activity without obtaining written clearance from the Engineer. In the event the Department's investigation determines a potential impact to a protected, threatened or endangered species and mitigation measures or permits are necessary, coordinate with the appropriate resource agencies for clearance, obtain permits and perform mitigation measures as necessary. Immediately notify the Engineer in writing of the results of this coordination with the appropriate resource agencies. Additional compensation or time will not be allowed for permitting or mitigation, associated with Contractor initiated off -project activities. 7-1.8 Compliance with Section 4(f) of the USDOT Act: Section 4(f) of the USDOT Act prohibits the U. S. Secretary of Transportation from approving a project which requires the use of publicly owned land of a public park, recreation area or a wildlife and waterfowl refuge, or of any historic site of national, state, or local significance unless there is no prudent or feasible alternative to using that land and the program or project includes all possible planning to minimize the harm to the site resulting from the use. Before undertaking any off -project activity associated with any federally assisted undertaking, ensure that the proposed site does not represent a public park, recreation area, wildlife or waterfowl refuge, or a historic site (according to the results of the Cultural Resources Survey discussed in 120-6.2). If such a site is proposed, notify the Engineer and provide a description of the proposed off -site activity, the Financial Project ID, the location of the site by township, range, section, a county or city map showing the site location and including the access route and the name of the property. It is the Contractor's responsibility to provide justification for use of Section 4(f) property that is sufficient for the Florida Department of Transportation Exhibit 1- 8 EXHIBIT I - SUPPLEMENTAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS and the Federal Highway Administration to make a Section 4(f) determination. Provide this notification sufficiently in advance of planned commencement of the off -site activity to allow a reasonable time for the Engineer to conduct an investigation without delaying job progress. Do not begin any off -project activity without obtaining written clearance from the Engineer On -The -Job Training Requirements (7-25) As part of the Contractor's equal employment opportunity affirmative action program, training shall be provided as follows: The Contractor shall provide On -The -Job Training aimed at developing full journeymen in the type of trade or job classification involved in the work. In the event the Contractor subcontracts a portion of the contract work, it shall determine how many, if any, of the trainees are to be trained by the subcontractor provided, that the Contractor shall retain the primary responsibility for meeting the training requirements imposed by this Section. Ensure that, when feasible, 25% of trainees in each occupation are in their first year of training, The Contractor shall incorporate the requirements of this Section into such subcontract. The number of trainees will be estimated on the number of calendar days of the contract, the dollar value, and the scope of work to be performed. The trainee goal will be finalized at a Post-Preconstruction Trainee Evaluation Meeting and the goal will be distributed among the work classifications based on the following criteria: 1. Determine the number of trainees on Federal Aid Contract a. No trainees will be required for contracts with a Contract Time allowance of less than 275 calendar days. b. If the Contract Time allowance is 275 calendar days or more, the number of trainees shall be established in accordance with the following chart: Estimated Contract Amount Trainees Required $2,000,000 or less 0 0 Over $2,000,000 to $4,000,000 2 Over $4,000,000 to $6,000,000 3 Over $6,000,000 to $12,000,000 5 Over $12,000,000 to $18,000,000 7 Over $18,000,000 to $24,000,000 9 Over $24,000,000 to $31,000,000 12 Over $31,000,000 to $37,000,000 13 Over $37,000,000 to $43,000,000 14 Over $43,000,000 to $49,000,000 15 Over $49,000,000 to $55,000,000 16 Over $55,000,000 to $62,000.000 17 Over $62,000,000 to $68,000.000 18 Over $68,000,000 to $74,000,000 19 Over $74,000.000 to $81,000,000 20 Over $81,000.000 to $87,000,000 21 Over $87,000,000 to $93,000,000 22 Over $93,000,000 to $99,000,000 23 Over $99,000,000 to $105,000.000 24 Over $105,000,000 to $112,000,000 25 Over $112,000,000 to $118,000.000 26 Over $118.000,000 to $124,000,000 27 Over $124,000,000 to $130,000,000 28 Over $130,000,000 to *One additional trainee per $6,000,000 of estimated Construction Contract amount over $130,000,000 Further, if the Contractor or subcontractor requests to utilize banked trainees as discussed later in this Section, a Banking Certificate will be validated at this meeting allowing credit to the Contractor for previously banked trainees. Banked credits of prime Contractors working as Subcontractors may be (CAI) Exhibit I - 9 EXHIBIT I - SUPPLEMENTAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS accepted for credit. The Contractor's Project Manager, the Construction Project Engineer and the Department's District Contract Compliance Manager will attend this meeting. Within ten days after the Post- Preconstruction Training Evaluation Meeting, the Contractor shall submit to the Department for approval an On -The -Job Training Schedule indicating the number of trainees to be trained in each selected classification and the portion of the Contract Time during which training of each trainee is to take place. This schedule may be subject to change if any of the following occur: 1. When a start date on the approved On -The -Job Training Schedule has been missed by 14 or more days; 2. When there is a change in previously approved classifications; 3. When replacement trainees are added due to voluntary or involuntary Termination The revised schedule will be resubmitted to and approved by the Department's District Contract Compliance Manager. The following criteria will be used in determining whether or not the Contractor has complied with this Section as it relates to the number of trainees to be trained: 1. Credit will be allowed for each trainee that is both enrolled and satisfactorily completes training on this Contract. Credit for trainees, over the established number for this Contract, will be carried in a "bank" for the Contractor and credit will be allowed for those surplus trainees in subsequent, applicable projects. A "banked" trainee is described as an employee who has been trained on a project, over and above the established goal, and for which the Contractor desires to preserve credit for utilization on a subsequent project. 2. Credit will be allowed for each trainee that has been previously enrolled in the Department's approved training program on another contract and continues training in'the same job classification and completes their training on a different contract. 3. Credit will be allowed for each trainee who, due to the amount of work available in their classification, is given the greatest practical amount of training on the contract regardless of whether or not the trainee completes training. 4. Credit will be allowed for any training position indicated in the approved On -The -Job Training Schedule, if the Contractor can demonstrate that made a good faith effort to provide training in that classification was made. 5. No credit will be allowed for a trainee whose employment by the Contractor is involuntarily terminated unless the Contractor can clearly demonstrate good cause for this action. Training and upgrading of minorities, women and economically disadvantaged persons toward journeyman status is a primary objective of this Section. Accordingly, the Contractor shall make every effort to enroll minority trainees and women (e.g., by conducting systematic and direct recruitment through public and private sources likely to yield minority and women trainees) to the extent such persons are available within a reasonable area of recruitment. If a non -minority male is enrolled into the On -The -Jab training Program, the On -The -Job Training Notification of Personnel Action Form notifying the District Contract Compliance Manager of such action shall be accompanied by a disadvantaged certification or a justification for such action acceptable to the Department's District Contract Compliance Manager. The Contractor will be given an opportunity and will be responsible for demonstrating the steps that it has taken in pursuance thereof, prior to a determination as to whether the Contractor is in compliance with this Section. This training is not intended, and shall not be used, to discriminate against any applicant for training, whether a minority, woman or disadvantaged person. No employee shall be employed as a trainee in any classification in which they have successfully completed a training course leading to journeyman status or have been employed as a journeyman. The Contractor may satisfy this requirement by including appropriate questions in the employee application or by other suitable means. Regardless of the method used, the Contractor's records should document the findings in each case. The minimum length and type of training for each classification will be as established at the Post- Preconstruction Trainee Evaluation Meeting and approved by the Department. Graduation to journeyman status will be based upon satisfactory completion of a Proficiency Demonstration set up at the completion of training and established for the specific training classification, completion of the minimum hours in a training classification range, and the employer's satisfaction that the trainee does meet journeyman status in the classification of training. Upon reaching journeyman status, the following documentation must be forwarded to the District Contract Compliance Office: 1. Trainee Enrollment and Personnel Action Form Exhibit I - 10 EXHIBIT I - SUPPLEMENTAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS 2. Proficiency Demonstration Verification Form indicating completion of each standard established for the classification signed by representatives of both the Contractor and the Department. The Department and the Contractor shall establish a program that is tied to the scope of the work in the project and the length of operations providing it is reasonably calculated to meet the equal employment opportunity obligations of the Contractor and to qualify the average trainee for journeyman status in the classifications concerned, by at least, the minimum hours prescribed for a training classification. Furthermore, apprenticeship programs registered with the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, or with a State apprenticeship agency recognized by the Bureau and training programs approved but not necessarily sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor, Manpower Administration, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training shall also be considered acceptable provided it is being administered in a manner consistent with the equal employment obligations of Federal Aid highway construction contract. Approval or acceptance of a training schedule shall be obtained from the Department prior to commencing work on the classifications covered by the program. A voluntary On -The -Job Training Program is available to a Contractor which has been awarded a state funded project. Through this program, the Contractor will have the option to train employees on state funded projects for "banked credit" as discussed previously in this provision, to be utilized on subsequent Federal Aid Projects where training is required. Those Contractors availing themselves of this opportunity to train personnel on state funded projects and bank trainee hours for credit shall comply with all training criteria set forth in this Section for Federal Aid Projects; voluntary banking may be denied by the Department if staff is not available to monitor compliance with the training criteria. It is the intention of these provisions that training is to be provided in the construction crafts rather than clerk -typists or secretarial type positions. Training is permissible in lower level management positions such as office engineers, estimators, etc., where the training is oriented toward construction applications. Training in the laborer classifications, except Common/General Laborer, may be permitted provided that significant and meaningful training is provided and approved by the District Contract Compliance Office. When approved in advance by the District Contract Compliance Manager, credit will be given for training of persons in excess of the number specified herein under the current contract or a Contractor will be allowed to bank trainees who have successfully completed a training program and may apply those trainees to a training requirement in subsequent project(s) upon approval of the Department's District Contract Compliance Manager. This credit will be given even though the Contractor may receive training program funds from other sources, provided such other source do not specifically prohibit the Contractor from receiving other form of compensation. Offsite training is permissible as long as the training is an integral part of an approved training program and does not compromise a significant part of the overall training. Credit for offsite training indicated above may only be made to the Contractor when it does one or more of the following and the trainees are concurrently employed on a Federal Aid Project: 1. Contributes to the cost of the training, 2. Provides the instruction to the trainee, 3. Pays the trainee's wages during the offsite training period. The Contractor shall compensate the trainee at no less than the laborer rate established in the Contract at the onset of training. The compensation rate will be increased to the journeyman's wage upon graduation from the training program for the remainder of the time the trainee works in the classification in which they were trained. The Contractor shall furnish the trainee a copy of the program they will follow in providing the training. The Contractor shall provide each trainee with a certification showing the type and length of training satisfactorily completed. The Contractor shall enroll a trainee in one training classification at a time to completion before the trainee can be enrolled in another classification on the same project. The Contractor shall maintain records to document the actual hours each trainee is engaged in training on work being performed as a part of this Contract. The Contractor shall submit to the District Contract Compliance Manager a copy of an On -The -Job Training Notification of Personnel Action form no later than seven days after the effective date of the action when the following actions occur: a trainee is transferred on the project, transferred from the project to continue training on another contract, completes training, is upgraded to journeyman status or voluntary terminates or is involuntary terminated from the project. The Contractor shall furnish to the District Contract Compliance Manager a copy of a Monthly Time Report for each trainee. The Monthly Time Report for each month shall be submitted no later than the tenth Exhibit I - 11 EXHIBIT I - SUPPLEMENTAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS day of the subsequent month. The Monthly Time Report shall indicate the phases and sub -phases of the number of hours devoted to each proficiency. Highway or Bridge Carpenter Helper, Mechanic Helper, Rodman/Chainman, and Timekeeper classifications will not be approved for the On -The -Job Training Program. The number of trainees may be distributed among the work classifications on the basis of the Contractor's needs and the availability of journeymen in the various classifications within a reasonable area of recruitment. The Contractor will have fulfilled the responsibilities of this Specification when acceptable training has been provided to the trainee as specified above. Owner Force Account/Cost-Effective Justification Provision excluded from this contract. Patented/Proprietary/Sole Sourced Materials The Owner certifies that neither patented nor proprietary material are required or specifically named in the specifications to be used for this project.

Such changes in quantities and alterations shall not invalidate the contract nor release the surety, and the contractor agrees to perform the work as altered. If the alterations or changes in quantities significantly change the character of the work under the contract, whether such alterations or changes are in themselves significant changes to the character of the work or by affecting other work, cause such other work to become significantly different in character, an adjustment, excluding anticipated profit, will be made to the contract. The basis for the adjustment shall be agreed upon prior to the performance of the work. If a basis cannot be agreed upon, then an adjustment will be made either for, or against, the contractor in such amount as the engineer may determine to be fair and equitable. ill. If the alterations or changes in quantities do not significantly change the character of the work to be performed under the contract, the altered work will be paid for as provided elsewhere in the contract. IV. The term "significant change" shall be construed to apply only to the following circumstances: a. When the character of the work as altered differs materially in kind or nature from that involved or included in the original proposed construction; or b. When a major item of work, as defined elsewhere in the contract, is increased in excess of 125 percent or decreased below 75 percent of the original contract quantity.

Note: Executive Order (ED) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors applies to all contracts subject to the Davis -Bacon Act for which the contract is awarded (and any solicitation was issued) on or after January 1, 2017. If this contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year. Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their own illness, injury or other health -related needs, including preventive care; to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is ill, injured, or has other health -related needs, including preventive care; or for reasons 9 resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is a victim of, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking, Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protections under the Eo is available at https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/government-contracts. Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within the scope of the classifications listed may be added after award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses (29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (iii)). The body of each wage determination lists the classification and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical order of ""identifiers"" that indicate whether the particular rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate for local), a survey rate (weighted average rate) or a union average rate (weighted union average rate). Union Rate Identifiers A four letter classification abbreviation identifier enclosed in dotted lines beginning with characters other than ""SU"" or ""UAW'" denotes that the union classification and rate were prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example: PLUM0198-005 07/01/2014. PLUM is an abbreviation identifier of the union which prevailed in the survey for this classification, which in this example would be Plumbers. 0198 indicates the local union number or district council number where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage determination. 07/01/2014 is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate, which in this example is ]uly 1, 2014. Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all rate changes in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing this classification and rate. Survey Rate Identifiers Classifications listed under the ""SU"" identifier indicate that no one rate prevailed for this classification in the survey and the published rate is derived by computing a weighted average rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that classification. As this weighted average rate includes all rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and non -union rates. Example: SULA2012-007 5/13/2014. 5U indicates the rates are survey rates based on a weighted average calculation of rates and are not majority rates. LA indicates the State of Louisiana. 2012 is the year of survey on which these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 5/13/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier. Survey wage rates are not updated and remain in effect until a new survey is conducted. 8 Union Average Rate Identifiers Classification(s) listed under the UAVG identifier indicate that no single majority rate prevailed for those classifications; however, 100% of the data reported for the classifications was union data, EXAMPLE: UAVG-❑H-0010 08/29/2014. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union average rate. OH indicates the state. The next number, 0019 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 08/29/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier. A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in 7anuary of each year, to reflect a weighted average of the current negotiated/CBA rate of the union locals from which the rate is based, WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS 1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can be: * an existing published wage determination * a survey underlying a wage determination * a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on a wage determination matter * a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling on survey related matters, initial contact, including requests for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour National office because National Office has responsibility for the Davis -Bacon survey program. If the response from this initial contact is not satisfactory, then the process described in 2.) and 3.) should be followed. With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal process described here, initial contact should be with the Branch of Construction Wage Determinations. Write to! Branch of Construction Wage Determinations Wage and Hour Division U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20210 2.) If the answer to the question in 1.) is yes, then an interested party (those affected by the action) can request review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator (see 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7). Write to: Wage and Hour Administrator U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20210 The request should be accompanied by a full statement of the interested party's position and by any information (wage payment data, project description, area practice material, etc.) that the requestor considers relevant to the issue. 3.) If the decision of the Administrator is not favorable, an LAn; interested party may appeal directly to the Administrative Review Board (formerly the Wage Appeals Board). Write to: Administrative Review Board U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N,W. Washington, DC 20210 4.) All decisions by the Administrative Review Board are final.

Contract specific goals are not placed on Federal/State contracts; however, the Department has an overall 10.65% DBE goal it must achieve. In order to assist contractors in determining their DBE commitment level, the Department has reviewed the estimates for this letting. As you prepare your bid, please monitor potential or anticipated DBE utilization for contracts. When the low bidder executes the contract with the Department, information will be requested of the contractor's DBE participation for the project. While the utilization is not mandatory in order to be awarded the project, continuing utilization of DBE firms on contracts supports the success of Florida's DBE Program, and supports contractors' Equal Employment Opportunity and DBE Affirmative Action Programs. Any project listed as 0% DBE availability does not mean that a DBE may not be used on that project. A 0% DBE availability may have been established due to any of the following reasons: limited identified subcontracting opportunities, minimal contract days, and/or small contract dollar amount. Contractors are encouraged to identify any opportunities to subcontract to DBEs. Please contact the Equal Opportunity Office at (850) 414-4747 if you have any questions regarding this information. DBE Reporting If you are the prime contractor on a project, enter your DBE participation in the Equal Opportunity Compliance system prior to the pre -construction or pre -work conference for all federal and state funded projects. This will not become a mandatory part of the contract. It will assist the Department in tracking and reporting planned or estimated DBE utilization. During the contract, the prime contractor is required to report actual payments to DBE and MBE subcontractors through the web -based Equal Opportunity Compliance (EOC) system. All DBE payments must be reported whether or not you initially planned to utilize the company. In order for our race neutral DBE Program to be successful, your cooperation is imperative. If you have any questions, please contact EOOHelp@dot.state.fl.us. Bid Opportunity -List The Federal DBE Program requires States to maintain a database of all firms that are participating or attempting to participate on FDOT-assisted contracts. The list must include all firms that bid on prime contracts or bid or quote subcontracts on FDOT-assisted projects, including both DBE's and non -DBEs. Please complete the Bidders Opportunity List through the Equal Opportunity Compliance system within 3 business days of submission of the bid or proposal for ALL subcontractors or sub -consultants who quoted to you for specific project for this letting.
