SECTION 101 – GENERAL INFORMATION

101.01 INTRODUCTION THE FOLLOWING IS ADDED:

Pursuant to NJSA 27:1B-21.6 and USC (United States Code) Section 115, the Department intends to enter into a contract for the advancement of the Project. However, sufficient funds for the Project may not have been appropriated, and only amounts appropriated by law may be expended. Payment under the Contract is restricted to the amounts appropriated for a fiscal year (FY).

Governing bodies have no legal obligation to make such an appropriation. There is no guarantee that additional funds will be appropriated. Failure by governing bodies to appropriate additional funds will not constitute a default under, or a breach of, the Contract. However, if the Department terminates the Contract or suspends work because funds have not been appropriated, the parties to the Contract will retain their rights for suspension and termination as provided in 108.13, 108.14 and 108.15; except as indicated below.

Do not expend or cause to be expended any sum in excess of the amount allocated in the current fiscal year's Capital Program (as specified below). The Department will notify the Contractor when additional funding has been appropriated. Any expenditure by the Contractor which exceeds the amount appropriated is at the Contractor's risk and the Contractor waives its right to recover costs in excess of that appropriated amount.

The approved 2010 Capital Program has an item with $ 151.002,541 million for the construction of the Project.

The Department anticipates that the balance of the funds necessary to complete the Project will be provided during State FY 2011.

105.08 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION THE FOLLOWING IS ADDED:


of 66

Be aware of the following time restrictions contained within the special conditions of the Flood Hazard Area Permit for the Project:

1. In order to protect the wood turtle habitat within and adjacent to Lubbers Run, the following timing restrictions shall apply:

a. In-stream work (including stream bank excavation): In order to prevent adverse impacts to hibernating turtles, do not permit site preparation, disturbance, grading, clearing or construction activity within the banks of the referenced watercourse between November 1 and April 1 of the calendar year. If a cofferdam is proposed to completely enclose the work area, work may occur during this restricted period provided the cofferdam installation is completed prior to November 1 and thereafter completely precludes turtles from accessing the work area to rest or hibernate. This must include appropriate bank-side fencing to preclude terrestrial access to the cofferdam work area. Immediately after installation, hire an NJDEP approved herpetologist to thoroughly inspect the enclosed area for wood turtles. Ensure any wood turtles found are reported to the NJDEP, Division of Fish and Wildlife, Endangered and Nongame Species Program (contact Brian Zarate at (908) 638-4127), and relocated outside the proposed work area. Once this inspection is complete, allow authorized activities to commence only within the cofferdammed work area.

b. Wetlands/Transition Area/Riparian Zone work: In order to prevent adverse impacts to wood turtles or their resting, breeding or foraging habitats within the regulated areas (Freshwater Wetlands/Transition Areas/Riparian Zone) associated with the referenced watercourse, do not allow authorized activities from April 1 through May 30 and September 1 through November 15 of the calendar year unless the following measures have been taken:

i. Prior to the commencement of site preparation, disturbance, grading, clearing or construction activity, erect a silt/debris fence around the footprint of all proposed activities (temporary and permanent) sufficient to exclude small wildlife species, and specifically wood turtle, from entering the proposed construction area. Immediately thereafter, hire an NJDEP approved herpetologist to thoroughly inspect the fenced-in work area for wood turtles. Once this inspection is complete, allow authorized activities to commence only within the fenced work area. Ensure the fence is monitored weekly and maintained until project completion.

ii. Ensure any wood turtles found are reported to the NJDEP, Division of Fish and Wildlife, Endangered and Nongame Species Program (contact Brian Zarate at (908) 638-4127), and relocated outside of the proposed work area.

2. In order to protect the trout stocked Lubbers Run, do not permit construction, excavation, filling or grading, within the channel between March 15 through June 15 of each year. Furthermore, do not permit construction, excavation, filling or grading in the riparian zone unless appropriate soil erosion control measures are in place that prevent sediment from reaching the channel are demonstrated. If a cofferdam is installed prior to the timing restriction, allow construction, excavation, filling or grading within the channel of Lubbers Run only within confines of the cofferdam during this restricted period.

3. In order to protect potential summer habitat for the federally listed Indiana bat (Myotis sodalist), do not allow tree clearing from April 1 to November 15.

4. No authorized activities can commence until a Phase I bog turtle survey is conducted and forwarded to the USFWS for review (refer to control number 09-FA0193). If the Service determines bog turtle habitat exists within the project area, no authorized activities can commence within (the determined) bog turtle habitat from May 1 through October 30 of the calendar year unless the following measures have been taken:

a. Prior to the commencement of any site preparation, disturbance, grading, clearing or construction activity, erect a silt/debris fence around the footprint of all proposed activities (temporary and permanent) sufficient to exclude small wildlife species, and specifically bog turtle, from entering the proposed construction area.

b. Immediately thereafter, hire an NJDEP approved herpetologist to thoroughly inspect the fenced-in work area for bog turtles. Ensure any bog turtles found are reported to the NJDEP, Division of Fish and Wildlife, Endangered and Nongame Species Program (contact Brian Zarate at (908) 638-4127), and relocated outside the proposed work area. Once this inspection is complete, allow authorized

Geomembrane Liner ................................................................................................................................... 919.05

158.03.02 SESC Measures

19. Oil-Only Emergency Spill Kit. THE SECOND SENTENCE OF THE FIRST PARAGRAPH IS CHANGED TO:

Include Oil-only Emergency Spill Kit, Type 1 consisting of the following: THE FOLLOWING IS ADDED:

20. Geomembrane Pond Liners. Install pond liner as follows:

a. Preparation of Liner Subgrade.

(1) Prepare and compact any earthen surface upon which the liner is installed as specified in Section 301. Ensure the surface is smooth, firm, and unyielding, and free of: vegetation; construction debris; sticks; sharp rocks; void spaces; ice; abrupt elevation changes; standing water; cracks larger than 1/4-inch in width; any other foreign matter that could contact the liner.

(2) Immediately prior to liner deployment, final-grade the subgrade to fill in all voids or cracks and then smooth-roll to provide the best practicable surface for the liner. At completion of this activity, ensure no wheel ruts, footprints or other irregularities exist in the subgrade. Furthermore, remove, crush or push into the surface all protrusions extending more than 1/2-inch from the surface with a smooth-drum compactor.

(3) At the top of sloped areas of the site, excavate an anchor trench for the liner. Do not allow loose soil at the bottom of the trench or sharp corners or protrusions to exist anywhere within the trench.

(4) Ensure groundwater is taken into account and, if present, control during construction.


of 66

(5) Ensure side slopes are no steeper than 3:1. Hand-rake slopes to achieve proper smoothness.

b. Liner Placement.

(1) Ensure the area to be lined is smooth and free of sharp objects that could puncture the membrane. Remove all vegetation, roots and grass. Fill any cracks or voids.

(2) Do not unfold the panels under extreme cold or windy conditions.

(3) Use a lift system that suspends a roll off the ground. Raise the roll with a loader, forklift, crane or other lifting equipment, and then spool off and deploy. Another option is to use an unwind stand from a modified flatbed trailer.

(4) When deploying the panels, ensure sharp objects, hard bottom shoes, vehicles and equipment do not come into contact with the material. Do not allow equipment which could damage the liner to travel directly on it. If the installation equipment causes rutting of the subgrade, restore the subgrade to its originally accepted condition before placement continues.

(5) Minimize the extent to which the liner is dragged across the subgrade to avoid damage to the bottom surface of the liner. Use a temporary geosynthetic subgrade covering, commonly known as a slip sheet or rub sheet, to reduce friction damage during placement.

(6) Place the liner panels parallel to the direction of the slope.

(7) Avoid wrinkles in the seam areas and around mechanical attachments.

(8) Use sandbags (or similar ballast) to keep the panels in place during installation - a minimum of 25 bags per panel.

c. Anchorage of Liner.

(1) To secure the edges of the lining in an earthen pit, dig an anchor trench approximately 2 feet wide by 2 feet deep (2 × 2 ft) and 1 foot back from the crest of the berm, unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer.

(2) Rake out, flat, all dirt removed on the far side of the trench, away from the pit, and use as backfill after the liner edges are laid out in the anchor trench, while allowing the panels to be unrolled along the berm.

(3) Ensure the front edge of the trench is rounded so as to eliminate any sharp corners.

d. Field Seaming of Liner.

(1) To minimize the amount of field seaming, use the largest size panels practicable.

(2) Place the liner in a relaxed condition, free of stress or tension. Position the panels so that there is a nominal 4-inch seam overlap.

(3) Wipe clean the contact surfaces of the two sheets to remove all dirt, dust, moisture or other foreign materials.

(4) Prepare field seams by thermal fusion or bodied solvent bonding:

(a) Thermal fusion bonding. Set up the welding machine to the predetermined temperature and speed. Prepare a trial seam and test to verify these settings. Adjust the machine settings accordingly. Throughout the seaming operation, it may be necessary to perform occasional adjustments of temperature or speed as the result of changing ambient conditions in order to maintain a consistent seam. A 1 1/2-inch nominal seam width is required for single-track welds. Dual track welds shall have two 1/2-inch nominal seams separated by an air test channel.

(b) Bodied solvent bonding. Use a smooth wooden plank as an underlying work surface. Ensure the material surface temperature is at least 50°F for optimum bonding; otherwise, it will be necessary to preheat both surfaces with a heat gun until they are warm to the touch. Apply sufficient solvent simultaneously to both contact surfaces with a 2-inch brush.


of 66

Ensure the proper amount of solvent is applied. Using a steel roller, apply pressure by rolling at least 2 inches back from the outside flap. Roll toward and perpendicular to the outside exposed edge. Wipe up any excess solvent flowing from the seamed area. A nominal 2-inch bonded area is required.

e. Liner Detail Work.

(1) Ensure structures, piping, concrete, drains, and any associated work is complete prior to lining installation.

(2) Attach liner to concrete structures using batten attachments. Ensure battens are stainless steel strips and attach to the concrete by inserting stainless steel wedge-type anchor bolts into the concrete. Place the liner over the anchor bolt, place a strip of neoprene gasket between the liner and batten strip, and secure the batten strip with washers and nuts.

(3) Use a pipe boot at all pipe locations. Cut an undersized hole in the center of the sleeve, stretch over the pipe, creating a flange of material. Wrap the pipe 12 inches and tie into the flange of material. Provide stainless steel clamp to secure sleeve to the pipe. Although field-fabricated boots may be utilized, prefabricated boots are highly recommended wherever feasible for increased quality and reduced installation time.

(4) In areas where liner will be placed below seasonal groundwater levels, provide flap type vents. Install vents in accordance with manufacturer recommendations. Ensure vent material and method of welding is the same as that for the liner.

f. Liner Damage Repair.

(1) Patch any cuts, rips or tears in the membrane with a piece of the same membrane material. Cut patches with rounded corners and overlap the damaged area a minimum of 3 inches.

(2) Apply patches with membrane solvent or a hand held heat gun. Ensure the patch and damaged membrane area is clean and dry. If solvent is used, follow the same procedure as above. If a heat gun is used, ensure it is inserted between the patch and the membrane liner, heating the surfaces of each to a molten state. Apply steel roller pressure over a hard surface during the heating process in such a way as to smooth out any wrinkles while mating both surfaces.

g. Placement of Cover over Liner.

(1) Ensure cover soils are free of angular stones or other foreign matter that could damage the liner.

(2) Place soil cover over the liner using construction equipment that minimizes stresses on the liner. Maintain a minimum thickness of 1 foot of cover between the equipment tires/tracks and the liner at all times during the covering process. This thickness recommendation does not apply to frequently trafficked areas or roadways, for which a minimum thickness of 2 feet is required.

(3) Push/Pull cover soil up slopes, not down slopes, to minimize tensile forces on the liner.

B. Indemnification. The Contractor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless JCP&L, its officers, employees and agents from liability and claims related to the work described under Section 654. This requirement does not establish JCP&L as a third party beneficiary; the provisions specified in Section 107.10 are unaltered.

C. Scheduling of Work and Interruption to Utilities. Provide the RE and the designated JCP&L representative with a detailed schedule of when the electric utility work will be performed. Indicate in the schedule for each activity the following information: the work locations; the number of crews; and whether the work will be performed during a day shift or night shift, or on weekends. Coordinate all electric utility work with the JCP&L representative, and notify the RE and the JCP&L representative at least two weeks prior to starting electric utility work. Do not interrupt existing electric service until approved by the JCP&L representative.

Weather conditions may prevent connections to existing systems between June 1 and September 30. Do not perform work which will require electric transmission service interruptions from June 1 through September 30 without the approval of JCP&L. JCP&L may extend this period based on weather conditions and system demand. Notify JCP&L at least one month in advance of commencing conductor work.

If service transfers are required, coordinate service transfers with the JCP&L representative. Notify the property owner and all tenants affected by service interruptions or transfers prior to making the service transfer. Minimize disruption to normal operations of existing facilities and minimize any interruption of electric service to JCP&L customers. Protect existing facilities during construction and installation of the service transfer.

D. Quality Control and Quality Assurance. Provide access to the work for the JCP&L representative at all times. Perform all electric utility work in a manner acceptable to the JCP&L representative. Perform all electric utility work in accordance with JCP&L standards and details.

E. Safety. Perform work in accordance with applicable OSHA regulations, N.J.S.A. 34:6-47 “High Voltage Proximity Act”, and JCP&L safety standards.

F. Abandonment and Removal. Prior to beginning work, review the condition of all existing electric utility facilities noted to be removed with the JCP&L representative. If the JCP&L representative designates the material to be salvaged, remove the material and deliver it to a JCP&L storage facility. Remove and dispose of all other electrical utility material designated for removal.


of 66

G. Excavation. When excavation is required in areas having existing pavement and sidewalk, sawcut to the full depth of the existing pavement and sidewalk. Excavate trenches for conduit, manholes and vaults and appurtenances. Provide vertical sides for excavations within the traveled way, shoulder, sidewalk areas, and where existing facilities require protection. Remove unstable material at the bottom of the excavation and backfill with granular material. Do not excavate trenches more than 300 feet in advance of installing conduit unless approved by the RE. Provide and maintain trench crossings where necessary to maintain access. Do not leave trenches open overnight unless protected by temporary fencing or steel plates. Remove and dispose of excess or unsuitable material as specified in 202.03.07.

H. Backfill. Backfill with suitable material in lifts not exceeding 6 inches thick, loose measurement. If the backfill is predominantly granular material, compact the backfill material with a vibratory plate compactor. For material that is not predominately granular, compact the backfill material with a vibratory rammer compactor. If it is not possible to compact the backfill material, the Contractor may backfill with CLSM with the approval of the JCP&L representative. If using CLSM, install as specified in 601.03.01.F.

I. Restoration. Restore areas disturbed in the performance of electrical utility relocations to its original condition. In areas that are disturbed for which the plans provide final grading, pavement or landscaping, provide temporary restoration to the satisfaction of the RE. If open-cut trenching across a road is required, restore the pavement with in-kind construction.

J. Field Testing. Perform a high-potential test (also known as a dielectric voltage withstand test) on all cables and splices prior to energizing. Testing must be performed by a person who is qualified to operate the test equipment, and is familiar with the cable system. Ensure that the cables are disconnected from non-cable systems equipment, and that adequate physical clearances are maintained between all cable ends, energized cables, and electrical grounds and all other equipment during the test. Prior to performing the test, verify that all taps or laterals in the circuit are cleared. In the event hot poured compound filled splices and terminations are involved, do not perform testing until they have cooled to ambient temperature. Set the relays in the high voltage direct current test equipment to operate between 5 and 25 milliamperes leakage. The shape of the leakage curve under constant voltage is more important than the absolute leakage current of a “go or no go” withstand test result. The field test voltage is related to the final factory applied dc potentials using a factor of 80 percent.

Ensure the high potential test is performed in the presence of the JCP&L representative. Apply a direct current field test voltage according to the following table:

Field Test Values Rated Voltage dc Hi-Pot Test dc Hi-Pot Test Phase to (15 Minutes) Phase Wall - mils Kv Wall - mils kV 5000 90 25 115 35 8000 115 35 140 45 15000 175 55 220 65 25000 260 80 320 95 28000 280 85 345 100 35000 345 100 420 125 46000 445 130 580 170 69000 650 195 650 195

Note: If the leakage current quickly stabilizes, the duration may be reduced to 10 minutes.

After the voltage has been applied and the test level reached, record the leakage current at one-minute intervals. If the leakage current decreases or stays steady after it has leveled off, the cable is considered satisfactory. If the leakage current starts to increase, excluding momentary spurts due to supply-circuit disturbances, extend the test to see if the rising trend continues. At the conclusion of the test, discharge the circuit through the test set and voltmeter circuit. After the potential drops below 95% of the test value, ground the cable and discharge the circuit. Leave the grounds on all conductors for a minimum of four times as long as the test voltage was applied.


of 66

Remove and replace cables that fail to meet the requirements of the direct current field test. The Contractor is responsible for reimbursing the Department for any additional material costs incurred by the Department resulting from the failure to meet the requirements of the direct current field test.

K. Energizing Lines. Energize lines with the guidance of the JCP&L representative. Prior to energizing lines, submit a request to JCP&L. Switching orders may only originate from JCP&L employees. Submit a request for permission to energize transmission lines 10 days in advance of when the work will be performed. Request permission to energize distribution lines in a manner that will permit the JCP&L representative to submit a request to JCP&L’s Dispatch Office by noon the previous business day.

L. As-builts. Upon completion of the work, submit to JCP&L as-built drawings in accordance with JCP&L standards. Prints of construction drawings, marked to show the final location, are acceptable. Provide a copy of the as-built drawings to the RE.

STATE ATTACHMENT NO. 1

STATE OF NEW JERSEY EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY FOR CONTRACTS FUNDED BY WHOLLY STATE FUNDS

The provisions of N.J.S.A. 10:2-1 through 10:2-4 and N.J.S.A. 10:5-31 et seq. (P.L. 1975, c. 127, as amended and supplemented) dealing with discrimination in employment on public contracts, and the rules and regulations promulgated pursuant thereunto, are hereby made a part of this contract and are binding upon the Contractor.

Noncompliance by the Contractor with the requirements of the Affirmative Action Program for Equal Employment Opportunity may be cause for delaying or withholding monthly and final payments pending corrective and appropriate measures by the Contractor to the satisfaction of the Department.

During the performance of this contract, the contractor agrees as follows:

1. The contractor or subcontractor, where applicable, will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of age, race, creed, color, national origin, ancestry, marital status, sex, affectional or sexual orientation. The contractor will take affirmative action to ensure that such applicants are recruited and employed, and that employees are treated during employment, without regard to their age, race, creed, color, national origin, ancestry, marital status or sex. Such action shall include, but not be limited to the following: employment, upgrading, demotion, or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship. The contractor agrees to post in conspicuous places, available to employees and applicants for employment, notices to be provided by the Public Agency Compliance Officer setting forth provisions of this nondiscrimination clause;

2. The contractor or subcontractor, where applicable will, in all solicitations or advertisements for employees placed by or on behalf of the contractor, state that all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to age, race, creed, color, national origin, ancestry, marital status, sex, affectional or sexual orientation;

3. The contractor or subcontractor, where applicable, will send to each labor union or representative of workers with which it has a collective bargaining agreement or other contract or understanding, a notice, to be provided by the agency contracting officer advising the labor union or workers’ representative of the contractor’s commitments under this act and shall post copies of the notice in conspicuous places available to employees and applicants for employment.

4. The contractor or subcontractor, where applicable, agrees to comply with any regulations promulgated by the Treasurer pursuant to P.L. 1975, c.127, as amended and supplemented from time to time.

5. When hiring workers in each construction trade, the contractor or subcontractor agrees to attempt in good faith to employ minority and female workers in each construction trade consistent with the applicable employment goal prescribed by N.J.A.C. 17:27-7.3; provided, however, that the Affirmative Action Office may, in its discretion, exempt a contractor or subcontractor from compliance with the good faith procedures prescribed by the following provisions, A, B, and C, as long as the Affirmative Action Office is satisfied that the contractor is employing workers provided by a union which provides evidence, according to standards prescribed by the Affirmative Action Office, that its percentage of active “card carrying” members who are minority and female workers is equal to or greater than the applicable employment goal prescribed by N.J.A.C. 17:27-7.3, promulgated by the Treasurer pursuant to P.L. 1975, c. 127, as amended and supplemented from time to time. The contractor or subcontractor agrees that a good faith effort shall include compliance with the following procedures:

a. If the contractor or subcontractor has a referral agreement or arrangement with a union for a construction trade, the contractor or subcontractor shall, within three days of the contract award, seek assurances from the union that it will cooperate with the contractor or subcontractor as it fulfills its affirmative action obligations under this contract and according to the rules promulgated by the Treasurer pursuant to P.L. 1975, c.127, as supplemented and amended from time to time. If the



contractor or subcontractor is unable to obtain said assurances from the construction trade union at least five days prior to the commencement of construction work, the contractor or subcontractor agrees directly to attempt to hire minority and female workers consistent with the applicable employment goal. If the contractor’s or subcontractor’s prior experience with a construction trade union, regardless of whether the union has provided said assurances, indicates a significant possibility that the trade union will not refer sufficient minority and female workers consistent with the applicable employment goal, the contractor or subcontractor agrees to be prepared to hire minority and female workers directly, consistent with the applicable employment goal, by complying with the hiring procedures prescribed under (B) below; and the contractor or subcontractor further agrees to immediately take said action if it determines or is so notified by the Affirmative Action Office that the union is not referring minority and female workers consistent with the applicable employment goal.

b. If the hiring of a workforce consistent with the employment goal has not or cannot be achieved for each construction trade by adhering to the procedures of (b) above, or if the contractor does not have a referral agreement or arrangement with a union for a construction trade, the contractor or subcontractor agrees to take the following actions consistent with the applicable county employment goals: (1) To notify the Public Agency Compliance Officer, Affirmative Action Office, and at least one

approved minority referral organization of its manpower needs, and request referral of minority and female workers;

(2) To notify any minority and female workers who have been listed with it as awaiting available vacancies;

(3) Prior to commencement of work, to request the local construction trade union, if the contractor or subcontractor has a referral agreement or arrangement with a union for the construction trade, to refer minority and female workers to fill job openings;

(4) To leave standing requests for additional referral to minority and female workers with the local construction trade union, if the contractor or subcontractor has a referral agreement or arrangement with a union for the construction trade, the State Training and Employment Service and other approved referral sources in the area until such time as the workforce is consistent with the employment goal;

(5) If it is necessary to lay off some of the workers in a given trade on the construction site, to assure, consistent with the applicable State and Federal statutes and court decisions, that sufficient minority and female employees remain on the site consistent with the employment goal; and to employ any minority and female workers so laid off by the contractor on any other construction site in the area on which its workforce composition is not consistent with an employment goal established pursuant to rules implementing P.L. 1975, c. 127;

(6) To adhere to the following procedure when minority and female workers apply or are referred to the contractor or subcontractor: (i) If said individuals have never previously received any document or certification signifying a

level of qualification lower than that required, the contractor or subcontractor shall determine the qualifications of such individuals and if the contractor’s or subcontractor’s workforce in each construction trade is not consistent with the applicable employment goal, it shall employ such persons which satisfy appropriate qualification standards; provided however, that a contractor or subcontractor shall determine that the individual at least possesses the skills and experience recognized by any worker’s skills and experience classification determination which may have been made by a Public Agency Compliance Officer, union, apprentice program or a referral agency, provided the referral agency is acceptable to the Affirmative Action Office and provided further, that, if necessary, the contractor or subcontractor shall hire minority and female workers who qualify as trainees pursuant to these regulations. All of the requirements of this paragraph, however, are limited by the provisions of (C) below.

(ii) If the contractor’s or subcontractor’s workforce is consistent with the applicable employment goal, the name of said female or minority group individual shall be maintained on a waiting list for the first consideration, in the event the contractor’s or subcontractor’s workforce is no longer consistent with the applicable employment goal.

(iii) If, for any reason, said contractor or subcontractor determines that a minority individual or a female is not qualified or if the individual qualifies as an advanced trainee or apprentice, the



contractor or subcontractor shall inform the individual in writing with the reasons for the determination, maintain a copy in its files, and send a copy to the Public Agency Compliance Officer and to the Affirmative Action Office.

(7) To keep a complete and accurate record of all requests made for the referral of workers in any trade covered by the contract and on forms made available by the Affirmative Action Office and shall be submitted promptly to that office upon request.

c. The contractor or subcontractor agrees that nothing contained in (B) preceding provision shall preclude the contractor or subcontractor from complying with the hiring hall or apprenticeship provisions in any applicable collective bargaining agreement or hiring hall arrangement, and, where required by custom or agreement, it shall send journeymen and trainees to the union for referral, or to the apprenticeship program for admission, pursuant to such agreement or arrangement: provided, however, that where the practices of a union or apprenticeship program will result in the exclusion of minorities and females or the failure to refer minorities and females consistent with the county employment goal, the contractor or subcontractor shall consider for employment persons referred pursuant to said provisions (B) without regard to such agreement or arrangement; provided further, however, that the contractor or subcontractor shall not be required to employ female and minority advanced trainees and trainees in numbers which result in the employment of advanced trainees and trainees as a percentage of the total workforce for the construction trade, which percentage significantly exceeds the apprentice to journey worker ratio specified in the applicable collective bargaining agreement, or in the absence of a collective bargaining agreement, exceeds the ratio established by practice in the area for said construction trade. Also, the contractor or subcontractor agrees that, in implementing the procedures of the preceding provisions (B) it shall, where applicable, employ minority and female workers residing within the geographical jurisdiction of the union.

d. The contractor agrees to complete an Initial Project Manning Report on forms provided by the Affirmative Action Office or in the form prescribed by the public agency and submit a copy of said form no later than 3 days after signing a construction contract; provided, however, that the public agency may extend in a particular case the allowable time for submitting the form to no more than 14 days.

The contractor and each subcontractor must submit monthly employment and wage data to the Department via a web based application using electronic Form CC-257R. Instructions for registering and receiving the authentication code to access the web based application can be found at:

http://www.state.nj.us/transportation/business/procurement/ConstrServ/documents/NJ_StimulusReportingNotification-Contractor.pdf

Instructions on how to complete Form CC257 are provided in the web application. Submit Form CC-257R through the web based application within 10 days following the end of the reporting month.

All employment and wage data must be accurate and consistent with the certified payroll records. The contractor is responsible for ensuring that their subcontractors comply with these reporting requirements. Failure by the contractor to submit Monthly Employment Utilization Report may impact the contractor’s prequalification rating with the Department.

The contractor agrees to cooperate with the public agency in the payment of budgeted funds, as is necessary, for on-the-job and off-the-job programs for outreach and training of minority and female trainees employed on the construction projects.

e. The contractor and its subcontractors shall furnish such reports or other documents to the Affirmative Action Office as may be requested by the office from time to time in order to carry out the purposes of these regulations, and public agencies shall furnish such information as may be requested by the Affirmative Action Office for conducting a compliance investigation pursuant to Subchapter 10 of the Administrative Code (NJAC 17:27).

The Contractor will designate and make known to the Department contracting officers an Equal Employment Opportunity Officer (hereinafter referred to as the EEO Officer) who will have the responsibility for and must be capable of effectively administering and promoting an active contractor program of Equal Employment Opportunity and who must be assigned adequate authority and responsibility to do so.

IV. DISSEMINATION OF POLICY

A. All members of the Contractor’s staff who are authorized to hire, supervise, promote, and discharge employees, or who recommend such action, will be made fully cognizant of, and will implement, the Contractor’s Equal Employment Opportunity Policy and contractual responsibilities to provide Equal Employment Opportunity in each grade and classification of employment. To ensure that the above agreement will be met, the following actions will be taken as a minimum:

January 2007


1. Periodic meetings of supervisory and personnel office employees will be conducted before the start of work and then not less often than once every 6 months, at which time the Contractor’s Equal Employment Opportunity Policy and its implementation will be reviewed and explained. The EEO Officer or other knowledgeable company official will conduct the meetings.

2. All new supervisory or personnel office employees will be given a thorough indoctrination by the EEO Officer or other knowledgeable company official covering all major aspects of the Contractor’s Equal Employment Opportunity obligations within 30 days following their reporting for duty with the Contractor.

3. All personnel who are engaged in direct recruitment for the project will be instructed by the EEO Officer or appropriate company official in the Contractor’s Procedures for locating and hiring minority group employees.

B. In order to make the Contractor’s Equal Employment Opportunity Policy known to all employees, prospective employees and potential sources of employees, i.e., schools, employment agencies, labor unions (where appropriate), college placement officers, etc., the Contractor will take the following actions:

1. Notices and posters setting forth in the Contractor’s Equal Employment Opportunity policy, as set forth in Section 2 of these Equal Employment Opportunity Special Provisions will be placed in conspicuous places readily accessible to employees, applicants for employment and potential employees.

2. The Contractor’s Equal Employment Opportunity Policy and the procedures to implement such policy will be brought to the attention of employees by means of meetings, employee handbooks, or other appropriate means.

V. RECRUITMENT

A. In all solicitations and advertisements for employees placed by or on behalf of the Contractor, the Contractor will state that all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, age, creed, ancestry, martial status or national origin. All such advertisements will be published in newspapers or other publications having a large circulation among minority groups in the area from which the project work force would normally be derived.

B. The Contractor will, unless precluded by a valid bargaining agreement, conduct systematic and direct recruitment through public and private employee referral sources likely to yield qualified minority group applicants, including, but not limited to, state employment agencies, schools, colleges and minority group organizations. To meet this requirement, the Contractor will, through his EEO Officer, identify sources of potential minority group employees, and establish with such identified sources procedures whereby minority group applicants may be referred to the Contractor for employment consideration.

C. In the event the Contractor has a valid bargaining agreement providing for exclusive hiring hall referrals, he is expected to observe the provisions of that agreement to the extent that the system permits the Contractor’s compliance with Equal Employment Opportunity contract provisions. (The US Department of Labor has held that where implementations of such agreements have the effect of discriminating against minorities or women, or obligates the Contractor to do the same; such implementation violates Executive Order 11246, as amended).

D. In the event that the process of referrals established by such a bargaining agreement fails to provide the Contractor with a sufficient number of minority referrals within the time period set forth in such an agreement, the Contractor shall comply with the provisions of “Section 9 Unions” of the EEO Special Provisions.

VI. ESTABLISHMENT OF GOALS FOR CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTORS

A. The New Jersey Department of Transportation has established, pursuant to N.J.A.C. 17:27-7.3, the minority and female goals for each construction contractor and subcontractor based on availability statistics as reported by the New Jersey Department of Labor, Division of Planning and Research, in its report, EEO Tabulation - Detailed Occupations as follows:

January 2007


MINORITY AND FEMALE EMPLOYMENT GOAL OBLIGATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTORS AND SUBCONTRACTORS

COUNTY MINORITY % PERCENTAGE

FEMALE % PERCENTAGE

Atlantic 20 6.9 Bergen 10 6.9 Burlington 16 6.9 Camden 16 6.9 Cape May 8 6.9 Cumberland 21 6.9 Essex 42 6.9 Gloucester 10 6.9 Hudson 38 6.9 Hunterdon 5 6.9 Mercer 19 6.9 Middlesex 16 6.9 Monmouth 11 6.9 Morris 7 6.9 Ocean 6 6.9 Passaic 24 6.9 Salem 15 6.9 Somerset 8 6.9 Sussex 5 6.9 Union 24 6.9 Warren 5 6.9

The Affirmative Action Office has interpreted Section 7.3 of the State of New Jersey Affirmative Action Regulations as applicable to work hour goals for minority and female participation.

If a project is located in more than one county, the minority work hour goal will be determined by the county which serves as the primary source of hiring or, if workers are obtained equally from one or more counties, the single minority goal shall be the average of the individual goal for the affected counties.

B. The State Affirmative Action office may designate a regional goal for minority membership for a union that has regional jurisdiction. No regional goals shall apply to this project unless specifically designated elsewhere herein.

C. When hiring workers in the construction trade, the Contractor and/or subcontractor agree to attempt, in good faith, to employ minority workers in each construction trade, consistent with the applicable county or, in special cases, regional goals.

D. It is understood that the goals are not quotas. If the Contractor or subcontractor has attempted, in good faith, to satisfy the applicable goals, he will have complied with his obligations under these EEO Special Provisions. It is further understood that if the Contractor shall fail to attain the goals applicable to this project, it will be the Contractor’s obligation to establish to the satisfaction of the Department of Transportation that it has made a good faith effort to satisfy such goals. The Contractor or subcontractor agrees that a good faith effort to achieve the goals set forth in these special provisions shall include compliance with the following procedures:

January 2007


1. Requests shall be made by the Contractor or subcontractor to each union or collective bargaining unit with which the Contractor or subcontractor has a referral agreement or arrangement for the referral of minority workers to fill job openings. Requests shall also be made for assurances for the referral of minority workers to fill job openings. Requests shall also be made for assurances from such unions or collective bargaining units that they will cooperate with the Contractor or subcontractor in fulfilling the Affirmative Action obligations of the Contractor or subcontractor under this contract. Such requests shall be made prior to the commencement of construction under the contract.

2. The contractor and its subcontractors shall comply with Section 9, Unions of these EEO Special Provisions and, in particular, with Section 9, Paragraph D, if the referral process established in any collective bargaining arrangement is failing to provide the Contractor or subcontractor with a sufficient number of minority referrals.

3. The Contractor and its subcontractors shall notify the Department’s Compliance Officer, the Affirmative Action Office of the Department of Treasury and at least one approved minority referral organization of the Contractor’s or subcontractors manpower needs and of the Contractor’s or subcontractor’s desire for assistance in attaining the goals set forth herein. The notifications should include a request for referral of minority and female workers.

4. The Contractor and its subcontractors shall notify the Department’s Compliance Officer and the Affirmative Action Office of the Department of Treasury in the event that a union or collective bargaining unit is not making sufficient minority referrals to enable the Contractor or subcontractor to attain the work goals for the Project.

5. The Contractor and its subcontractors shall make standing requests to all local construction unions, the state training and employment service and other approved referral sources for additional referrals of minority and female workers until such time as the project work force is consistent with the work hour goals for the project.

6. The Contractor and its subcontractors shall make standing requests to all local construction unions, the state training and employment service and other approved referral sources for additional referrals of minority and female workers until such time as the project work force is consistent with the work hour goals for the project.

7. In the event that it is necessary to lay off some of the workers in a given trade on the construction site, the Contractor and its subcontractors shall ensure that fair layoff practices are followed regarding minority, female and other workers.

8. The Contractor and its subcontractors shall comply with the other requirements of these EEO Special Provisions.

VII. PERSONNEL ACTIONS

Wages, working conditions, and employee benefits shall be established and administered, and personnel actions of every type, including hiring, upgrading, promotion, transfer, demotion, layoff, and termination, shall be taken without regard to race, color, religion, sex, age, creed, ancestry, marital status or national origin. The following procedures shall be followed:

A. The Contractor will conduct periodic inspections of project sites to ensure that working conditions and employee facilities do not indicate discriminatory treatment of project site personnel.

B. The Contractor will periodically evaluate the spread of wages paid within each classification to determine any evidence of discriminatory wage practices.

C. The Contractor will periodically review selected personnel actions in depth to determine whether there is evidence of discrimination. Where evidence is found, the Contractor will promptly take corrective action. If the review indicates that the discrimination may extend beyond the actions reviewed, such corrective action shall include all affected persons.

D. The Contractor will promptly investigate all complaints of alleged discrimination made to the Contractor in connection with his obligations under this contract, will attempt to resolve such

January 2007


complaints, and will take appropriate corrective action within a reasonable time. If the investigation indicates that the discrimination may affect persons other than the complainant, such corrective action shall include such other persons. Upon completion of each investigation, the Contractor will inform every complainant of all of his avenues of appeal.

VIII. TRAINING AND PROMOTION

The Contractor will assist in locating, qualifying, and increasing the skills of minority group and women employees, and applicants for employment.

Consistent with the Contractor’s work force requirements and as permissible under State regulations, the Contractor shall make full use of training programs, i.e., apprenticeship, and on-the-job training programs, for the geographical area of contract performance. Where feasible, 25 percent of apprentices or trainees in each occupation shall be in their first year of apprenticeship or training.

The Contractor will advise employees and applicants for employment of available training programs and entrance requirements for each.

The Contractor will periodically review the training and promotion potential of minority group and women employees and will encourage eligible employees to apply for such training and promotion.

IX. UNIONS

If the Contractor relies in whole or in part upon unions as a source of employees, the Contractor will use his/her best efforts to obtain the cooperation of such unions to increase opportunities for minority groups and women within the unions, and to effect referrals by such unions of minority and female employees. Actions by the Contractor either directly or through a Contractor’s association acting, as agent will include the procedures set forth below:

A. The Contractor will send to each labor union or representative of workers with which it has a collective bargaining agreement or other contract or understanding, a notice advising the labor union or workers’ representative of the Contractor’s commitments under both the law against discrimination and this contract and shall post copies of the notice in conspicuous places readily accessible to employees and applicants for employment. Further, the notice will request assurance from the union or worker’s representative that such union or worker’s representative will cooperate with the Contractor in complying with the Contractor’s Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action obligations.

B. The Contractor will use their best efforts to develop, in cooperation with the unions, joint training programs aimed toward qualifying more minority group members and women for membership in the unions and increasing the skills of minority group employees and women so that they may qualify for higher paying employment.

C. The Contractor will use their best efforts to incorporate an Equal Employment Opportunity clause into each union agreement to the end that such union will be contractually bound to refer applicants without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.

D. The Contractor is to obtain information as to the referral practices and policies of the labor union except that to the extent such information is within the exclusive possession of the labor union and such labor union refuses to furnish such information to the Contractor, the Contractor shall so certify to the Department and shall set forth what efforts have been made to obtain such information.

E. In the event the union is unable to provide the Contractor with a reasonable flow of minority and women referrals within the time limit set forth in the collective bargaining agreement, the Contractor will, through independent recruitment efforts, fill the employment vacancies without regard to race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, making full efforts to obtain qualified and/or qualifiable minority group persons and women. (The US Department of Labor has held that it shall be no excuse that the union with which the Contractor has a collective bargaining agreement providing for exclusive referral failed to refer minority employees). In the event the union referral practice prevents the Contractor from meeting the obligations pursuant to Executive Order 11246, as amended, and these Special Provisions, such Contractor shall immediately notify the Department.

January 2007


X. SUBCONTRACTING

A. The Contractor will use his best efforts to solicit bids from and to utilize minority group and female subcontractors or subcontractors with meaningful minority group and female representation among their employees. Contractors may use lists of minority owned and female owned construction firms as issued by the Department.

B. The Contractor will use his best efforts to ensure subcontractor compliance with their Equal Employment Opportunity obligations.

XI. RECORDS AND REPORTS

A. The Contactor will keep such records as are necessary to determine compliance with the Contractor’s Equal Employment Opportunity obligations. The records kept by the Contractor will be designed to indicate:

1. The work hours of minority and non-minority group members and women employed in each work classification on the project.

2. The progress and efforts being made in cooperation with unions to increase employment opportunities for minorities and women (applicable only to Contractors who rely in whole or in part on unions as a source of their work force).

3. The progress and efforts being made in locating, hiring, training, qualifying, and upgrading minority and female employees, and

4. The progress and efforts being made in securing the services of minority group and female subcontractors or subcontractors with meaningful minority and female representation among their employees.

C. The Contractor shall submit monthly reports to the Department after construction begins for the duration of the project, indicating the work hours of minority, women, and non minority group employees currently engaged in each work classification required by the contract work. This information is to be reported on a form supplied by the Department.

XII SPECIAL CONTRACT PROVISIONS FOR INVESTIGATING, REPORTING AND RESOLVING EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION AND SEXUAL HARASSMENT COMPLAINTS

The Contractor hereby agrees to the following requirements in order to implement fully the nondiscrimination provisions of the Supplemental Specifications:

The Contractor agrees that in instances when it receives from any person working on the project site a verbal or written complaint of employment discrimination, prohibited under N.J.S.A. 10:5-1 et seq. 10:2-1 et seq., 42 U.S.C. 2000 (d) et seq., 42 U.S.C. 2000(e) et seq.

4. Take appropriate disciplinary actions against any contractor employee, official or agent who has committed acts of discrimination or sexual harassment against any contractor employee or person working on the project. If the person committing the discrimination is a subcontractor employee, then the contractor is required to attempt to effectuate corrective and/or disciplinary action by the subcontractor in order to establish compliance with project’s contract requirements.

5. Take appropriate disciplinary action against any contractor employee, official or agent who retaliates, coerces or intimidates any complainant and/or person who provides information or assistance to any instigation of complaints of discrimination or sexual harassment.

SBE UTILIZATION AATTACHMENT -100% STATE FUNDS CONST Page 1 of 5


SMALL BUSINESS ENTERPRISE UTILIZATION ATTACHMENT 100% STATE-FUNDED CONTRACTS

I. UTILIZATION OF SMALL BUSINESS ENTERPRISE (SBE) BUSINESSES AS CONTRACTORS, MATERIAL SUPPLIERS AND EQUIPMENT LESSORS.

The New Jersey Department of Transportation advises each contractor or subcontractor that failure to carry out the requirements set forth in this attachment shall constitute a breach of contract and, after notification to the applicable State agency, may result in termination of the agreement or contract by the Department or such remedy as the Department deems appropriate. Requirements set forth in this section shall also be included in all subcontract agreements in accordance with State of New Jersey requirements.

II. POLICY

It is the policy of the New Jersey Department of Transportation that Small Business Enterprises, as defined in N.J.A.C. 12A: 10A-1.2 et seq., and N.J.A.C. 17:14-1.2 et seq., shall have the maximum opportunity to participate in the performance of contracts financed wholly with 100% state funds.

III. CONTRACTOR’S SMALL BUSINESS OBLIGATION

The New Jersey Department of Transportation and its Contractor agree to ensure that Small Business Enterprises (SBE), as defined in N.J.A.C. 12A: 10A-1.2 et seq., and N.J.A.C. 17:14-1.2 et seq., have maximum opportunity to participate in the performance of contracts and subcontracts financed wholly with 100% state funds. In this regard, the New Jersey Department of Transportation and all Contractors shall take all necessary and reasonable steps to ensure that Small Business Enterprises are utilized on, compete for, and perform on NJDOT construction contracts. The New Jersey Department of Transportation and its Contractors shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the award and performance of State-funded contracts.

IV. COMPLIANCE

To signify and affirm compliance with the provisions of this attachment, the bidder shall complete the Schedule of Small Business Participation “Form A” included in the Proposal and all forms and documents required in Sections VII and VIII of these provisions which will be made a part of the resulting contract.

V. SMALL BUSINESS GOALS FOR THIS PROJECT

NOTE: SUBCONTRACTING GOALS ARE NOT APPLICABLE IF THE PRIME CONTRACTOR IS A REGISTERED SMALL BUSINESS ENTERPRISE (SBE) FIRM.

A. This project includes a goal of awarding % percent of the total contract value to subcontractors qualifying as SMALL BUSINESSES in amounts as follows:

1. %to businesses registered in the category of gross revenues that do not exceed $1 million; and

2. % to businesses registered in the category of having gross revenues exceeding $1 million consistent with the applicable annual revenue standards established at 13 C.F.R. 121.201; and

3. 15 % to businesses in either category

B. Only Small Business Enterprises registered prior to the date of bid, or prospective Small Business Enterprises that have submitted to the New Jersey Commerce and Economic Growth Commission on or before the day of bid, a completed “State of New Jersey Small Business Vendor Registration Form” and all the required support documentation, will be considered in determining whether the

January 2007


contractor has met the established goals for the project. Early submission of required documentation is encouraged.

C. If a prospective Small Business Enterprise fails to meet the eligibility standards for participation the department’s Small Business Program, the contractor shall, prior to the award, make reasonable outreach efforts to replace that ineligible subcontractor with a registered Small Business whose participation is sufficient to meet the goal for the contract.

D. Prospective Small Businesses whose registration applications are denied or rejected by the New Jersey Commerce and Growth Commission are ineligible for participation on the project to meet Small Business goals, regardless of any pending appeal action in progress.

E. A directory of registered Small Businesses Enterprise firms is available upon request to the New Jersey Commerce and Growth Commission or the New Jersey Department of Transportation, Division of Civil Rights/Affirmative Action. The directory is to be used as a source of information only and does not relieve the Contractor of their responsibility to seek out Small Businesses Enterprises not listed.

VI. COUNTING SMALL BUSINESS ENTERPRISE PARTICIPATION

A. Each Small Business Enterprise (SBE) is subject to a registration procedure to ensure their SBE eligibility prior to the award of contract. In order to facilitate this process, it is advisable for the bidder to furnish the names of proposed SBEs to the Department before bid opening. Once a firm is determined to be a bona fide SBE by the New Jersey Commerce and Growth Commission, the total dollar value of the contract awarded to the SBE is counted toward the applicable goal.

B. The Contractor may count toward its SBE goal only expenditures to SBEs that perform a commercially useful function in the work of a contract. A SBE is considered to perform a commercially useful function when it is responsible for execution of a distinct element of the work of a contract and carrying out its responsibility by actually performing, managing and supervising the work involved. To determine whether a SBE is performing a commercially useful function, the Contractor shall evaluate the amount of work subcontracted, industry practice and other relevant factors.

C. If an SBE does not perform or exercise responsibility for at least 30 percent of the total cost of its contract with its own work force, or the SBE 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, you must presume that it is not performing a commercially useful function.

D. If a Contractor is part of a Joint Venture and one or more of the Sole Proprietorships, Partnerships, Limited Liability companies or Corporations comprising the Joint Venture is a registered SBE, the actual payments made to the Joint Venture for work performed by the SBE member, will be applied toward the goal. Payments made to the Joint Venture for work performed by a non-small business firm will not be applied toward the applicable goal.

E. If the Contractor is a registered SBE, payments made to the Contractor for work performed by the Contractor will be applied toward the SBE goal. Payments made to the Contractor for work performed by non-SBE’s will not be applied toward the goal.

F. When a SBE subcontracts part of the work of its contract to another firm, the value of the subcontracted work may be counted towards the SBE goals only if the SBE’s subcontractor is also a SBE. Work that a SBE subcontracts to a non-SBE firm does not count toward the assigned goal.

VII. SUBMISSION OF CONTRACTOR’S AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PLANS

A. Contractors are required to submit annually on their due date, their firm’s Affirmative Action Program to the Division of Civil Rights/Affirmative Action. Contractors must have an approved Affirmative Action Program in the Division of Civil Rights/Affirmative Action no later than seven (7) State business days after receipt of bids.

Note: If a change occurs to the Contractor’s original Form A submission which was previously approved by the Division of Civil Rights/Affirmative Action, a Revised Form A must be submitted naming the replacement Small Business Enterprise subcontractors. A written explanation should be included with the submission of the revised Form A.

2. Request for Exemption - In the event the Contractor is unable to meet the specified goal level, that Contractor must submit a written request for a partial or full exemption from the SBE goal. This request shall include the names of all SBE firms that the contractor will utilize on the contract and shall describe the specific work to be performed by each SBE together with the actual dollar amount of that work. Additionally, this request must address the Contractor’s efforts to make Reasonable Outreach Efforts as enumerated in Section VIII.

3. SBE “FORM B” - Affidavit of Small Business Enterprise. Each proposed SBE not listed in the NJ Commerce and Economic Growth Commission Directory must submit “Form B” attesting to its validity as an SBE. (All firms must be registered by the Commission prior to award of the contract.)

4. Additional Information - The Department in its sole discretion may request additional information from the Contractor prior to award of the contract in order to evaluate the Contractor’s compliance with the SBE requirements of the bid proposal. Such information must be provided within the time limits established by the department.

G. Efforts made to assist the SBE in obtaining bonding or insurance required by the Bidder or the Department.

IX. ADMINISTRATIVE RECONSIDERATION

A. If the Division of Civil Rights/Affirmative Action determines that the apparent successful bidder has failed to make reasonable outreach efforts to meet the requirements of this section, the Department must, before awarding the contract, provide the bidder an opportunity for administrative reconsideration.

B. As part of this reconsideration, the bidder will have the opportunity to provide written documentation or argument concerning the issue of whether it met the goal or made adequate good faith efforts to do so. NJDOT will send the bidder a written decision on reconsideration, explaining the basis for finding that the bidder did or did not meet the SBE goal or make an adequate good faith effort to do so.

C. Within seven (7) State business days of being informed by the Division of Civil Rights/Affirmative Action that it is not a responsible bidder because it has not made or documented sufficient outreach efforts to SBEs, a bidder may make a request in writing to the Director, Division of Procurement, PO Box 605, Trenton, New Jersey, 08625-0605; Telephone (609) 530-6355. The Director, Division of Procurement, does not participate in the initial determination of whether reasonable outreach was performed by the Contractor.

X. RESPONSIBILITY AFTER AWARD OF THE CONTRACT

If at any time following the award of contract, the Contractor intends to sublet any portion(s) of the work under said contract, or intends to purchase material or lease equipment not contemplated during preparation of bids, said Contractor shall take affirmative action:
