CONTRACTORS are required to have a sales tax permit issued by the Comptroller of the State of Texas in order to qualify under the exemption provisions and the separated Contract procedure. The City of Port Arthur will issue a specific exemption certificate for a separated Contract to the CONTRACTOR in order that he does not have to pay taxes on qualifying materials and equipment purchased for and permanently incorporated into the City of Port Arthur project. The CONTRACTOR performing this Contract must issue to his suppliers an exemption certificate in lieu of the tax, said exemption certificate complying with all applicable State Comptroller's rulings, along with a copy of the certificate issued to him by the City of Port Arthur. The OWNER will make no further allowance for and will make no price adjustment above or below the originally bid unit prices on account of this tax. It shall be the CONTRACTOR'S sole responsibility, if CONTRACTOR has elected to exclude the sales tax from the bid, to comply with the aforementioned Rulings and with any other applicable rules, regulations or laws pertaining to the Texas Limited Sales, Excise and Use Tax which may now or at any time during the performance of this Contract be in effect, and the OWNER shall have no responsibility for any sales or use tax which the CONTRACTOR may be required to pay as a result of CONTRACTOR'S failure or the OWNER'S failure to comply with said rules, regulations or laws, or as the result of the performance of the Contract or any part hereof by the CONTRACTOR. Bidders are cautioned that materials which are not permanently incorporated into the work (Example: Fuel, lubricants, tools, forming materials, etc.) are not eligible for exemption and are not to be included in the statement as "Non-Consumable Materials and Equipment". 8.

Should a Bidder find discrepancies in, or omissions from, the Plans, Specifications or other Contract Documents, or should a Bidder be in doubt as to their meaning,the Bidder should, no later than 96 hours prior to the bid opening, notify the Architect/Engineer in order that a written Addendum if necessary, may be sent to all Bidders prior to submission of the bids. Failure to request such clarification is a waiver to any claim by the Bidder for expense made necessary by reason of later interpretation of the Contract Documents by the OWNER. 10.

The CONTRACTOR shall, at the OWNER'S request, furnish satisfactory evidence that all obligations of the nature hereinabove designated F-16 have been paid, discharged or waived. If the CONTRACTOR fails to do so, then the OWNER may, after having served written notice on the said CONTRACTOR,either pay unpaid bills, of which the OWNER has written notice, direct, or withhold from the CONTRACTOR'S unpaid compensation a sum of money deemed reasonably sufficient to pay any and all such lawful claims until satisfactory evidence is furnished that all liabilities have been fully discharged whereupon payment to the CONTRACTOR shall be resumed, in accordance with the terms of this Contract, but in no event shall the provisions of this sentence be construed to impose any obligations upon the OWNER to either the CONTRACTOR or his Surety. In paying any unpaid bills of the CONTRACTOR, the OWNER shall be deemed the agent of the CONTRACTOR, and any payment so made by the OWNER shall be considered as a payment made under Contract by the OWNER to the CONTRACTOR and the OWNER shall not be liable to the CONTRACTOR for any such payments made in good faith. This provision shall not be construed to give rise to any third party beneficiary rights in claimants. 49. CORRECTION OF WORK All work, all materials,whether incorporated in the work or not,all processes of manufacture and all methods of construction shall be at all times and places subject to the inspection of the Architect/Engineer who shall be the final judge of the quality and suitability of the work, materials, processes of manufacture and methods of construction for the purposes for which they are used. Should they fail to meet his approval, they shall be forthwith reconstructed, made good, replaced and/or corrected, as the case may be, by the CONTRACTOR at his own expense. Rejected material shall immediately be removed from the site. If, in the opinion of the Architect/Engineer, it is undesirable to replace any defective or damaged materials or to reconstruct or correct any portion of the work injured or not performed in accordance with the Contract Documents,the compensation to be paid to the CONTRACTOR hereunder shall be reduced by such amount as in the judgement of the Architect/Engineer shall be equitable. 50. SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS FOUND DIFFERENT Should the CONTRACTOR encounter subsurface and/or latent conditions at the site materially differing from those shown on the Plans or indicated in the Specifications, he shall immediately give notice to the Architect/Engineer of such conditions before they are disturbed. The Architect/Engineer will thereupon promptly investigate the conditions and, if he finds that they materially differ from those shown on the Plans or indicated in the Specifications, he will at once make such changes in the Plans and/or Specifications as he may find necessary, any increase or decrease of cost resulting from such changes to be adjusted in the manner provided in paragraph 52 of the General Conditions. 51. CLAIMS FOR EXTRA COST No claim for extra work or cost shall be allowed unless the same was done pursuant to a written order of the Architect/Engineer approved by the OWNER, as aforesaid, and the claim presented with the first estimate after the changed or extra work is done. When work is performed under the terms of subparagraph 52(c) of the General Conditions, the CONTRACTOR shall furnish satisfactory bills, payrolls and vouchers covering all items of cost and when requested by the OWNER, give the OWNER access to accounts relating thereto. F-17 52. CHANGES IN WORK No changes in the work covered by the approved Contract Documents shall be made without having prior written approval of the OWNER. Charges or credit for the work covered by the approved change shall be determined by one or more, or a combination of the following methods: a. Unit bid prices previously approved. b. An agreed lump sum. c. The actual cost of: (1) Labor, including foreman; (2) Materials entering permanently into the work; (3) The ownership or rental cost of construction plant and equipment during the time of use on the extra work; (4) Power and consumable supplies for the operation of power equipment; (5) Insurance; (6) Social Security and old age unemployment contributions. To the cost under(c)there shall be added a fixed fee to be agreed upon but not to exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the work. The fee shall be compensation to cover the cost of supervision, overhead, bond, profit and any other general expenses. 53. EXTRAS Without invalidating the Contract, the OWNER may order extra work or make changes by altering, adding to or deducting from the work,the Contract sum being adjusted accordingly, and the consent of the Surety being first obtained where necessary or desirable. All the work of the kind bid upon shall be paid for at the price stipulated in the proposal, and no claims for any extra work or materials shall be allowed unless the work is ordered in writing by the OWNER or its Architect/Engineer, acting officially for the OWNER, and the price is stated in such order. 54. TIME FOR COMPLETION AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES It is hereby understood and mutually agreed, by and between the CONTRACTOR and the OWNER, that the date of beginning and the time for completion as specified in the Contract of the work to be done hereunder are ESSENTIAL CONDITIONS of this Contract;and it is further mutually understood and agreed that the work embraced in this Contract shall be commenced on a date to be specified in the "Notice to Proceed". The CONTRACTOR agrees that said work shall be prosecuted regularly, diligently and without interruption at such rate of progress as will insure full completion thereof within the time specified. It is expressly understood and agreed, by and between the CONTRACTOR and the OWNER,that the time for the completion of the work described herein is a reasonable time for the completion of same,taking into consideration the average climatic range and usual industrial conditions prevailing in this locality. If the said CONTRACTOR shall neglect, fail or refuse to complete the work within the time herein specified, or any proper extension thereof granted by the OWNER,then the CONTRACTOR does hereby agree, as a part consideration for the awarding of this Contract,to pay to the OWNER the amount specified in the Contract, not as a penalty, but as liquidated damages for such breach of Contract as hereinafter set forth, for each and every consecutive calendar day, including, but not F-18 limited to, all Saturdays, Sundays, and Federal, State, and Pleasure Island Commission holidays and that the CONTRACTOR shall be in default after the time stipulated in the Contract for completing the work. The said amount is fixed and agreed upon by and between the CONTRACTOR and the OWNER because of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of fixing and ascertaining the actual damages the OWNER would in such event sustain, and said amount is agreed to be the amount of damages which the OWNER would sustain and said amount shall be retained from time to time by the OWNER from current periodical estimates. It is further agreed that time is of the essence of each and every portion of this Contract and of the Specifications wherein a definite and certain length of time is fixed for the performance of any act whatsoever; and where under the Contract an additional time is allowed for the completion of any work, the new time limit fixed by such extension shall be of the essence of this Contract. Provided, that the CONTRACTOR shall not be charged with any part of liquidated damages or any excess cost when the OWNER determines that any part of liquidated damages was not the fault of the CONTRACTOR and the OWNER determines that the request for extension by the CONTRACTOR is justified and due to: a. Any preference, priority or allocation order duly issued by the government; b. The following unforeseeable causes, namely: acts of the public enemy, acts of the OWNER, acts of another CONTRACTOR in the performance of a Contract with the OWNER, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes, earthquakes, hurricanes and tornadoes; and rainy days claimed by the CONTRACTOR; however, rainy days shall be considered only if the CONTRACTOR notifies the Engineer or OWNER on the day the CONTRACTOR claims he cannot work because of rainy weather that day. Failure to so report will eliminate any claim for time extension because of rainy weather on that day. c. Rainy weather when 60 percent of his work force cannot work for seven (7) hours or more that day because of rainy weather and providing that he has complied with the condition under 54(b). d. Any delays of Subcontractors or suppliers occasioned by any of the causes specified in subsections (a) and (b) of this article. It is also agreed that for each five (5) regular days of work lost due to any of the foregoing reasons, seven (7)calendar days will be added to the contract time(or 1.4 calendar days added for each one(1) regular day of work lost) Fractional calendar days will be rounded to the nearest whole number of days. Provided,further,that the CONTRACTOR shall,within ten(10)days from the beginning of such delay, unless the OWNER shall grant a further period of time prior to the date of final settlement of the Contract, notify the OWNER, in writing, of the causes of delay,who shall ascertain the facts and extent of the delay and notify the CONTRACTOR within reasonable time of its decision in the matter. Provided, that this provision for liquidated damages shall be cumulative of and not in limitation of any other remedy available to OWNER, including, without limitation, the right to terminate as provided in paragraph 3 and to recover additional damages for any excess cost in otherwise completing the work. F-19 55. WEATHER CONDITIONS In the event of temporary suspension of work, or during inclement weather, or whenever the Architect/Engineer shall direct,the CONTRACTOR will,and will cause his Subcontractors to, protect carefully his, and their, work and materials against damage or injury from the weather. lf, in the opinion of the Architect/Engineer, any work or materials shall have been damaged or injured by reason of failure on the part of the CONTRACTOR or any of his Subcontractors so to protect his work, such materials shall be removed and replaced at the expense of the CONTRACTOR. 56.

In case of an emergency which threatens loss or injury of property and/or safety of life, the CONTRACTOR will be allowed to act,without previous instructions from the Architect/Engineer,in a diligent manner. He shall notify the Architect/Engineer immediately thereafter. Any claim for compensation by the CONTRACTOR due to such extra work shall be promptly submitted to the Architect/Engineer for approval. Where the CONTRACTOR has not taken action but has notified the Architect/Engineer of an emergency threatening injury to persons or damage to the work or any adjoining property, he shall act as instructed or authorized by the Architect/Engineer. The amount of reimbursement claimed by the CONTRACTOR on account of any emergency action shall be determined in the manner provided in paragraph 52 of the General Conditions. 57.

The CONTRACTOR'S compliance with the Executive Order and the regulations in 41 CFR Part 60-4 shall be based on its implementation of the Equal Opportunity Clause, specific affirmative action obligations required by the Specifications set forth in 41 CFR 60-4.3(a), and its efforts to meet the goals established for the geographical area where the Contract resulting from this solicitation is to be performed. The hours of minority and female employment and training must be substantially uniform throughout the length of the Contract, and in each trade, and the CONTRACTOR shall make a good faith effort to employ minorities and women evenly on each of its projects. The transfer of minority or female employees or trainees from CONTRACTOR to CONTRACTOR or from project to project for the sole purpose of meeting the CONTRACTOR'S goals shall be a violation of the Contract, the Executive Order and the regulations in 41 CFR Part 60-4. Compliance with the goals will be measured against the total work hours performed.

(2) Whenever the CONTRACTOR, or any subcontractor at any tier,Subcontracts a portion of the work involving any construction trade, it shall physically include in each Subcontract in excess of$10,000 the provisions of these Specifications and the Notice which contains the applicable goals for minority and female participation and which is set forth in the solicitations from which this Contract resulted. (2) If the CONTRACTOR is participating (pursuant to 41 CFR 60-4.5) in a Hometown Plan approved by the U.S. Department of Labor in the covered area either individually or through an association, its affirmative action obligations on all work in the Plan area(including goals and timetables) shall be in accordance with that Plan for those trades which have unions participating in the Plan.

Each CONTRACTOR or Subcontractor participating in an approved Plan is individually required to comply with its F-33 obligations under the EEO clause and to make a good faith effort to achieve each goal under the Plan in each trade in which it has employees. The overall good faith performance by other CONTRACTOR'S or Subcontractors toward a goal in an approved Plan does not excuse any covered CONTRACTOR'S or Subcontractors failure to take good faith efforts to achieve the Plan goals and timetables. (4) The CONTRACTOR shall implement the specific affirmative action standards provided in paragraphs 7a through 7p of these Specifications. The goals set forth in the solicitation from which the Contract resulted are expressed as percentages of the total hours of employment and training of minority and female utilization the CONTRACTOR should reasonably be able to achieve in each Construction trade in which it has employees in the covered area.

(6) In order for the non-working training hours of apprentices and trainees to be counted in meeting the goals,such apprentices and trainees must be employed by the CONTRACTOR during the training period, and the CONTRACTOR must have made a commitment to employ the apprentices and trainees at the completion of their training, subject to the availability of employment opportunities. Trainees must be trained pursuant to training programs approved by the U.S. Department of Labor. (7) The CONTRACTOR shall take specific affirmative actions to ensure equal opportunity.

The CONTRACTOR shall document these efforts fully and shall implement affirmative ACTION steps at least as extensive as the following: (a) Ensure and maintain a working environment free of harassment, intimidation and coercion at all sites and in all facilities at which the CONTRACTOR'S employees are assigned to work. The CONTRACTOR, where possible,will assign two or more women to each construction project.

(e) Develop on-the-job training opportunities and/or participate in training programs for the area which expressly include minorities and women, including upgrading programs and apprenticeship and trainee programs relevant to the CONTRACTOR'S employment needs, especially those programs funded or approved by the Department of Labor. The CONTRACTOR shall provide notice of these programs to the sources compiled under 7b above. (f) Disseminate the CONTRACTOR'S EEO policy by providing notice of the policy to unions and training programs and requesting their cooperation in assisting the CONTRACTOR in meeting its EEO obligations; by including it in any policy manual and collective bargaining agreement; by publicizing it in the company newspaper, annual report, etc.; by specific review of the policy with all management personnel and with all minority and female employees at least once a year; and by posting the company EEO policy on bulletin boards accessible to all employees at each location where construction work is performed.

Not later than one month prior to the date for the acceptance of applications for apprenticeship or other training by any recruitment source, the CONTRACTOR shall send written notification to organizations such as the above,describing the openings, screening procedures and tests to be used in the selection process. (j) Encourage present minority and female employees to recruit other minority persons and women and, where reasonable, provide after school, summer and vacation employment to minority and female youth both on the site and in other areas of a CONTRACTOR'S work force.

(I) Conduct, at least annually, an inventory and evaluation at least of all minority and female personnel for promotional opportunities and encourage these employees to seek or to prepare for, through appropriate training, etc., such opportunities.

(n) Ensure that all facilities and company activities are non-segregated except that separate or single-user toilet and necessary changing facilities shall be provided to assure privacy between the sexes.

(p) Conduct a review, at least annually, of all supervisors' adherence to and performance under the CONTRACTOR'S EEO policies and affirmative action obligations. (8) CONTRACTOR'S are encouraged to participate in voluntary associations which assist in fulfilling one or more of their affirmative action obligations (7a though 7p). The efforts of a CONTRACTOR association, joint CONTRACTOR-union, CONTRACTOR-community or other similar group of which the CONTRACTOR is a member and participant, may be asserted as fulfilling any one or more of its obligations under 7a through 7p of these Specifications provided that the CONTRACTOR actively participates in the group, makes every effort to assure that the group has a positive impact on the employment of minorities and women in the industry,ensures that the concrete benefits of the program are reflected in the CONTRACTOR'S minority and female work force participation, makes a good faith effort to meet its individual goals and timetables and can provide access to documentation which demonstrates the effectiveness of actions taken on behalf of the CONTRACTOR. The obligation shall not be a defense for the CONTRACTOR'S non-compliance. (9) A single goal for minorities and a separate single goal for women have been established. The CONTRACTOR, however, is required to provide equal employment opportunity and to take affirmative action for all minority groups, both male and female, and all women, both minority and non-minority. Consequently, the CONTRACTOR may be in violation of the Executive Order if a particular group is employed in a substantially disparate manner (for example, even though the CONTRACTOR has achieved its goals for women generally,the CONTRACTOR may be in violation of the Executive Order if a specific minority group of women is under utilized). (10) The CONTRACTOR shall not use the goals and timetables or affirmative action standards to discriminate against any person because of race, color, religion,sex or national origin. (11) The CONTRACTOR shall not enter into any Subcontract with any person or firm debarred from government Contracts pursuant to Executive Order 11246. F-36 (12) The CONTRACTOR shall carry out such sanctions and penalties for violation of these Specifications and of the Equal Opportunity Clause, including suspension, termination and cancellation of existing Subcontracts as may be imposed or ordered pursuant to Executive Order 11246, as amended, and its implementing regulations, by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs. Any CONTRACTOR who fails to carry out such sanctions and penalties shall be in violation of these Specifications and Executive Order 11246, as amended. (13) The CONTRACTOR, in fulfilling its obligations under these Specifications, shall implement specific affirmative action steps, at least as extensive as those standards prescribed in paragraph 7 of these Specifications,so as to achieve maximum results from its efforts to ensure equal employment opportunity. If the CONTRACTOR fails to comply with the requirements of the Executive Order, the implementing regulations or these Specifications, the Director shall proceed in accordance with 41 CFR 60-4.8. (14) The CONTRACTOR shall designate a responsible official to monitor all employment related activity to ensure that the company EEO policy is being carried out, to submit reports relating to the provisions hereof as may be required by the government and to keep records. Records shall at least include for each employee the name, address, telephone number, construction trade, union affiliation, if any, employee identification number when assigned, social security number, race, sex, status (e.g., mechanic, apprentice trainee, helper or laborer), dates of changes in status, hours worked per week in the indicated trade, rate of pay and locations at which the work was performed. Records shall be maintained in an easily understandable and retrievable form; however, to the degree that existing records satisfy this requirement, CONTRACTOR'S shall not be required to maintain separate records. (15) Nothing herein provided shall be construed as a limitation upon which the application of other laws which establish different standards of compliance or upon the application of requirements for the hiring of local or other area residents (e.g., those under the Public Works Employment Act of 1977 and the Community Development Block Grant Program). 90.

Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within the scope of the classifications listed may be added after award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses (29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii) ) . The body of each wage determination lists the classification and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical order of "identifiers" that indicate whether the particular rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate for local) , a survey rate (weighted average rate) or a union average rate (weighted union average rate) . Union Rate Identifiers A four letter classification abbreviation identifier enclosed in dotted lines beginning with characters other than "SU" or "UAVG" denotes that the union classification and rate were prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example: PLUM0198-005 07/01/2014. PLUM is an abbreviation identifier of the union which prevailed in the survey for this classification, which in this example would be Plumbers. 0198 indicates the local union number or district council number G-4 where applicable, i.e. , Plumbers Local 0198. The next number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage determination. 07/01/2014 is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate, which in this example is July 1, 2014. Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all rate changes in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing this classification and rate. Survey Rate Identifiers Classifications listed under the "SU" identifier indicate that no one rate prevailed for this classification in the survey and the published rate is derived by computing a weighted average rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that classification. As this weighted average rate includes all rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and non-union rates. Example: SULA2012-007 5/13/2014. SU indicates the rates are survey rates based on a weighted average calculation of rates and are not majority rates. LA indicates the State of Louisiana. 2012 is the year of survey on which these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 5/13/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier. Survey wage rates are not updated and remain in effect until a new survey is conducted. Union Average Rate Identifiers Classification(s) listed under the UAVG identifier indicate that no single majority rate prevailed for those classifications; however, 100% of the data reported for the classifications was union data. EXAMPLE: UAVG-OH-0010 08/29/2014. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union average rate. OH indicates the state. The next number, 0010 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 08/29/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier. A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January of each year, to reflect a weighted average of the current negotiated/CBA rate of the union locals from which the rate is based. WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS 1. ) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can be: * an existing published wage determination * a survey underlying a wage determination * a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on G-5 a wage determination matter * a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour Regional Office for the area in which the survey was conducted because those Regional Offices have responsibility for the Davis-Bacon survey program. If the response from this initial contact is not satisfactory, then the process described in 2. ) and 3.) should be followed. With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal process described here, initial contact should be with the Branch of Construction Wage Determinations.

CONTRACTOR shall prepare the site furthermore by establishing drainage along the route if necessary, filling up holes, and generally leveling the site and or the route. The purpose is to F-3 CITY OF PORT ARTHUR WATER UTILITIES DEPARTMENT STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS keep the surface water away from the trench for pipe. It will also benefit the CONTRACTOR since soil conditions will improve and therefore the progress of the pipe laying 600.10 - Protection of Street and Drainage The CONTRACTOR shall make all attempts to keep streets and drainage open. Streets should be kept as clean as possible and mud scraped often as required and dust watered down if asked by the City. Drainage ditches shall be kept open and if filled by the CONTRACTOR, they shall be reopened before the crew leaves the site at the end of a working day. If in the opinion of the ENGINEER the street needs to be closed, the CONTRACTOR shall inform the Public Works Department, Transportation Division and the residents being affected at least forty-eight (48) hours in advance. Attempts should be made to give temporary access to the residents of the blocking being affected. CONTRACTOR should attempt to minimize the duration of street closing by proper planning of the work and arranging for all the required material, equipment, and personnel. However, since the safety of the public is more important than the inconveniences imposed on, the CONTRACTOR should keep a closed street unpassable to through traffic and not open it until it is safe for through traffic. If sections of the original pavement or surface are removed by the CONTRACTOR, the trench shall be filled according to the provisions of "ITEM 600.19 and 20". Fill the top layer of the street with limestone temporarily until the street is ready for surface replacement in agreement with "ITEM 600.20 and 21", until the street is ready for final replacement of the surface, CONTRACTOR should keep the street passable for the local residents.
