Any person employed by the contractor or by any subcontractor who, in the opinion of the owner, does not perform his work in a proper and skillful manner or is intemperate or disorderly shall, at the written request of the owner, be removed forthwith by the contractor or subcontractor employing such person, and shall not be employed again in any portion of the work without the approval of the owner. Should the contractor fail to remove such person or persons or fail to furnish suitable and sufficient personnel for the proper prosecution of the work, the owner may suspend the work by written notice until compliance with such orders. All equipment which is proposed to be used on the work shall be of sufficient size and in such mechanical condition as to meet the requirements of the work and to produce a satisfactory quality of work. Equipment used on any portion of the work shall be such that no injury to previously completed work, adjacent property, or existing airport facilities will result from its use. 80-2 I I I I ;Iii; I !in , ,J I I I I I I , I I , I ; l I ul I ~J I I I i j I I j I I I J ~ I .J I J I j I j I 1 I } I I , I I j I ~J I .I When the methods and equipment to be used by the Contractor in accomplishing the work are not prescribed .in the contract, the Contractor:is free to use any methods or equipment that will accQmplish: the work in conformity with the requirements of the contract, plans, and specifications. : ' When the contract specifies the, use of certain methods and equipment, such methods and equipment shall be used unless others are authorized by the Engineer. If the Contractor desires to use a method or type of equipment other than specified in the contract, he may request authority from the Engineer to do so. The request shall be in writing and shall include a full description of the methods and equipment proposed and of the reasons for desiring to make the change. If approval is given,' it will be on the condition that the Contractor will be fully responsible for producing work in conformity with contract requirements. If, after trial use of the substituted methods or equipment, the Engineer determines that the work produced does not meet contract requirements, the Contractor shall discontinue the use of the substitute method or equipment and shall complete the remaining, work with the specified methods and equipment. The Contractor shall remove any deficient work and replace it with work of specified quality, or take such other correctiv.e action as the Engineer may direct. No change will be made in basis of payment for the contract ,items involved nor in contract time as a result of authorizing a ~hange in methods or equipment under this subsection. 80-06 TEMPORARY SUSPENSION OF THE WORK. The Engineer, acting for the Owner, shall have the authority to suspend the work wholly, or in part, for such period or periods as he may deem necessary, due to unsuitable weather, or such other conditions as are considered unfavorable for the prosecution of the work, or for such time as is necessary due to the failure on the part of the Contractor to carry out orders given or perform any or all provisions of the contract. In the event that the Contractor is ordered by the Engineer, acting for the Owner, in writing, to suspend work 'for some unforeseen cause not otherwise provided for in the contract and over which the Contractor has -no control, the Contractor may be reimbursed for actual money expended on the work during the period of shutdown. No allowance will be made for 'anticipated profits.. The period of shutdown shall be computed from the effective date of the order to suspend work to the effective date of the order to resume the work. Claims for such compensation shall be filed with the Engineer within the time period stated in the order to resume work. The Contractor shall submit with his/her claim information substantiating the amount shown on the claim. The Engineer will forward the Contractor's claim to the owner for consideration in accordance with local laws or ordinances. No provision of this article shall be construed as entitling the Contractor to compensation for delays Que to inclement weather, for suspensions made at the request of the Contractor, or for any' other delay provided for in the contract, plans, or specifications. ' - If it should become necessary to suspend work for an indefinite period, the Contractor shall store all materials in such manner that they will not become an obstruction to aircraft - 80-3 {; j, J 80-4 I ..J I j I ; ..J f, .., ..t:~t: ~~~, ~.,., ~J I j I 1 I .~ I 1 j I ; I i I ~ I \ I I .1 . ...1 L.:il , "J I ; , j I traffic, be damaged, or cause deterioration of the work performed and provide for normal drainage of the work. The Contractor shall erect temporary structures where necessary to provide for traffic on, to, or from the airport. 80-07 DETERMINATION AND EXTENSION OF CONTRACT TIME. The number of calendar days allowed for completion of the work shall be stated in the proposal and shall be known as the CONTRACT TIME. The CONTRACT TIME shall consist of the number of calendar days stated in the proposal counting from the effective date of the notice to proceed and including all Saturdays, Sundays, holidays, and nonwork days. All calendar days elapsing between the effective dates of the Engineer's orders, acting for the Owner, to suspend and resume all work, due to causes not the fault of the Contractor, shall be excluded. If the Contractor finds it impossible for reasons beyond his/her control to complete the work within the contract time as specified, or as extended in accordance with the provisions of this section, he may, at any time prior to the expiration of the contract time as extended, make a written request to the Owner for an extension of time setting forth the reasons which he believes will justify the granting of his/her request. The Contractor's plea that insufficient time was specified is not a valid reason for extension of time. If the Owner finds that the work was delayed because of conditions beyond the control and without the fault of the Contractor, he may extend the time for completion in such amount as the conditions justify. The extended time for completion shall then be in full force and effect, the same as though it were the original time for completion. 80-08 FAILURE TO COMPLETE ON TIME. Time is of the essence of this contract. Certain airport facilities will be unusable while the contract is in progress and the owner could experience a loss of revenues. The owner is willing to accept the loss of revenue as part of the cost of making the needed improvements, up to the time specified for completion of the work. However, for each calendar day that any part of the work remains uncompleted after the date stipulated for completion of the work in the contract, or as extended by additional work or materials ordered after the contract is signed, the sum shown in the proposal shall be deducted from any monies due the contractor or if no money is due the contractor, the owner shall have the right to recover said sum or sums from the contractor from the surety or from both. The amount of these deductions are to cover liquidated damages to the owner incurred by additional and other expenses and loss of revenues due to the failure of the contractor to complete the work or any part of the work within the time specified. Permitting the contractor to continue and finish the work or any part of it after the time fixed for its completion, or after the date to which the time for completion may have been extended, will in no way operate as a waiver on the part of the owner of any of its rights under the contract.

When the contract, or any portion thereof, is terminated before completion of all items of work in the contract, payment will be made for the actual number of units or items of work completed at the contract price or as mutually agreed for items of work partially completed or not started. No claims for loss of anticipated profits shall be considered. Reimbursement for organization of the work, and other overhead expenses, (when not otherwise included in the contract) and moving equipment and materials to and from the job will be considered, the intent being that an equitable settlement will be made with the Contractor. Acceptable materials, obtained or ordered by the Contractor for the work and that are not incorporated in the work shall, at the option of the Contractor, be purchased from the Contractor at actual cost as shown by receipted bills and actual cost records at such points of delivery as may be designated by the Engineer. Termination of the contract or a portion thereof shall neither relieve the Contractor of his/her responsibilities for the completed work nor shall it relieve his/her surety of its obligation for and concerning any just claim arising out of the work performed.

II I I~ II J IJ I: I j I I j I I ,~ j:.~ I .~.J I , - I r GENERAL PROVISIONS SECTION 90 MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT 90-01 MEASUREMENT OF QUANTITIES All work completed under the contract will be measured by the Engineer, or his/her authorized representatives, using United States Customary Units of Measurement or the International System of Units. The method' of measurement and computations to be used in determination of quantities of material furnished and of work performed under the contract will be those methods generally recognized as conforming to good engineering practice. Unless otherwise specified, longitudinal measurements for area computations will be made horizontally, andt;lo deductions will be made for individual fixtures (or leave-outs) having an area of 9 square feet or less. Unless otherwise specified, transverse measurements for .area ,computations will be the neat dimensions shown on the plans or ordered in, writing by the Engineer. Structures wil,l be measured according to neat lines shown on the plans or as altered to fit field conditions.. Unless otherwise specified, all ,contract items which are measured by the linear foot such as electrical ducts, conduits, pipe culverts, underdrains, and similar items shall be , measured parallel to the base or foundation upon which such items are placed. In computing ,volumes of excavation the average end area method or other acceptable methods will be used. . The thickness of plates and galvanized sheet used in the manufacture of corrugated metal pipe, metal plate pipe culverts and arches, and metal cribbing will be specified and measured in decimal fraction of inches. , . The term "ton" will mean the short ton consisting of 2,000 pounds avoirdupois. All materials which, are measured or proportioned by weights shall be weighed on accurate, approved scales by c9mpetent, qualified personnel at locations designated by' the Engineer. If materi,al is shipped by rail, the car weight may be accepted provided j that only the' actual weight of material be paid for. However, car weights will not be: acceptable for material to be 1 passed through mixing plants. Trucks used to haul! material being paid for by weight shall be weighed empty daily at such times as the: Engineer directs, and each truck shall bear a plainly legible identification mark. Materials to be measured by vqlume in the hauling vehicle shall be hauled in approved vehicles and measured therein ,at the point of delivery. Vehicles for this purpose may 90-1 be of any size or type. acceptable to the Engineer, provided that the body is of such shape that the actual contents may be readily and accurately determined. All vehicles shall be loaded to at least their water level capacity, and all loads shall be leveled when the vehicles arrive at the point of delivery. When requested by the Contractor and approved by the Engineer in writing, material specified to be measured by the cubic yard may be weighed, and such weights will be converted to cubic yards for payment purposes. Factors for conversion from weight measurement to volume measurement will be determined by the Engineer and shall be agreed to by the Contractor before such method of measurement of pay quantities is used. Bituminous materials will be measured by the gallon or tori. When measured by volume, such volumes will be measured at 600 F or will be corrected to the volume at 600 Fusing ASTM D 4311 for asphalts or ASTM D 633 for tars. Net certified scale weights or weights based on certified volumes in the case of rail shipments will be used as a basis of measurement, subject to correction when bituminous material has been lost from the car or the distributor, wasted, or otherwise not incorporated in the work. When bituminous materials are shipped by truck or transport, net certified weights by volume, subject to correction for loss or foaming, may be used for computing quantities. Cement will be measured by the ton or hundredweight. Timber will be measured by the thousand feet board measure (M.F.B.M.) actually incorporated in the structure. Measurement will be based on nominal widths and thicknesses and the extreme length of each piece. The term "lump sum" when used as an item of payment will mean complete payment for the work described in the contract. When a complete structure or structural unit (in effect, "lump sum" work) is specified as the unit of measurement, the unit will be construed to include all necessary fittings and accessories. Rental of equipment will be measured by time in hours of actual working time and necessary traveling time of the equipment within the limits of the work. Special equipment ordered by the Engineer in connection with force account work will be measured as agreed in the change order or supplemental agreement authorizing such force account work as provided in the subsection titled PAYMENT FOR EXTRA AND FORCE ACCOUNT WORK of this section. When standard manufactured items are specified such as fence, wire, plates, rolled shapes, pipe conduit, etc., and these items are identified by gage, unit weight, section dimensions, etc., such identification will' be considered to be nominal weights or 90-2 I I ,j I ..i ,I .'.'1 " &rh , I J ~ ~ I j I , I , I I ; I J I I I i ; ,.1 '1 t,J1 -I :d I ,J I 1 I j I: :J IJ 1 ,J 1 (..J I _J 1 1 ) 1 1 I J I I I I , ~ I ; I , I ~J I' ,J I , I l I J dimensions. d' Unless more stringently controlled by tolerances in cited specifications, manufacturing tolerances esta,~lished by the industries involved will be accepted. ,. ' Scales for weighing materials which are required to be proportioned or measured and paid for by weight shall be furnished, erected, and maintained by the Contractor, or be certified permanently installed commercial scales. Scales shall be accurate within one-half percent of the correct weight throughout the range of use. The Contractor shall have the scales checked under the observation of the inspector before beginning work and at such other times as requested. The intervals shall be uniforlll in' spacing throughout the graduated or marked length of the beam or dial and shall 'not exceed one-tenth of 1 percent of the nominal rated capacity of the scale, but not less than 1 pound. The use of spring balances will not be permitted. Beams, dials, platforms', and 'other scale equipment shall be so arranged that the operator and the inspector can safely and conveniently view them. Scale installations shall 'have available ten standard 50-pound weights for testing the weighing equipment or suitable weights and devices for other approved equipment. l: . .'1 Scales must be tested for accuracy and serviced before use at a new site. Platform scales shall be installed and maintained with the' platform level and rigid bulkheads at each end. . Scales "overweighing" (indicating more than correct weight) will not be permitted to operate, and 'all materials received subsequent to the last previous correct weighing- accuracy test will be reduced by the percentage of error in excess of one-half of 1 percent. . In the event inspection, reveals the scales have been "underweighing" (indicating less than correct weight), they shall be adjusted, and no additional payment to the Contractor wiU be allowed for materials previously weighed and recorded. All costs in connection with furnishing, installing, certifying, testing, and maintaining scales; for furnishing check weights and scale house; and for all other items specified in this subsection, for the weighing of materials for proportioning or payment, shall be included in the unit contract prices for the various items of the project. , When the estimated qua,ntities for a specific portion of the work are designated as the pay quantities in the contract, they shall be the final quantities for which payment for such specific portion of the work will be made, unless the dimensions of said portions of the work shown on the plans are revised by the Engineer. If revised dimensions result in an increase or decrease in the quantities of such work, the final quantities for, payment will be revised in the amount represented' by the authorized changes in the dimensions.' , 90:-3 il-" 90-02 SCOPE OF PAYMENT The Contractor shall receive and accept compensation provided for in the contract as full payment for furnishing all materials, for performing all work under the contract in ~ complete and acceptable manner, and for all risk, loss, damage, or expense of whatever character arising out of the nature of the work or the prosecution thereof, subject to the provisions of the subsection titled NO WAIVER OF LEGAL RIGHTS of Section 70. When the "basis of payment" subsection of a technical specification requires that the contract price (price bid) include compensation for certain work or material essential to the item, this same work or material will not also be measured for payment under any other contract item which may appear' elsewhere in the contract, plans, or specifications. 90-03 COMPENSATION FOR ALTERED QUANTITIES When the accepted quantities of work vary from the quantities in the proposal, the Contractor shall accept as payment in full, so far as contract items are concerned, payment at the original contract price for, the accepted quantities of work actually Gomple,ted and accepted. No allowance, except as provided for in the subsection titled ALTERATION OF WORK AND QUANTITIES of Section 40 will be made for any increased expense, loss of expected reimbursement, or loss of anticipated profits suffered or claimed by the Contractor which results directly from such alterations or indirectly from his/her unbalanced allocation of overhead and profit among the contract items, or from any other cause. 90-04 PAYMENT FOR OMITTED ITEMS As specified in the subsection titled OMITTED ITEMS of Section 40, the Engineer shall have the right to omit from the work (order nonperformance) any contract item, except major contract items, in the best interest of the Owner. Should the Engineer omit or order nonperformance of a contract item or portion of such item from the work, the Contractor shall accept payment in full at the contract prices for any work actually completed and acceptable prior to the Engineer's order to omit or non perform such contract item. Acceptable materials ordered by the Contractor or delivered on the work prior to the date of the Engineer's order will be paid for 'at the actual cost to the Contractor and shall thereupon become the property of the owner. In addition to the reimbursement hereinbefore provided, the Contractor shall be reimbursed for all actual costs incurred for the purpose of performing the omitted contract item prior to the date of the Engineer's order. Such additional costs incurred by the Contractor must be directly related to the deleted contract item and shall be supported by certified statements by the Contractor as to the nature and the amount of such costs. 90-4 I I nJ I I (ll.~"~l ;..tfi .

When the change order or supplemental agreement authorizing the extra work requires that it be done by force account, such force account shall be measured and paid for based on expended labor, equipment, and materials plus a negotiated and agreed upon allowance for overhead and profit. a. Miscellaneous No additional allowance will be made for general superintendence, the use of small tools, or other costs for which no specific allowance is herein provided. b. Comparison of Record The Contractor alJd the Engineer shall compare records of th~ :cost of force account work at the end of each day. Agreement shall be indicated by signature ofthe Contractor and the Engineer or their duly authorized representatives. c. Statement No payment will be made for work performed on a force account basis until the Contractor has furnished the Engineer with duplicate itemized statements of the cost of such force account work detailed as follows: (1) Name, classification, date, daily hours, total hours, rate and extension for each laborer and foreman. (2) Designation, dates, daily hours, total hours, rental rate, and extension for each unit of machinery and ~quipment. (3) Quantities of materials, prices, and extensions. (4) Transportation of materials. (5) Cost of property damage, liability and workman's compensation insurance premiums, un~mployment insurance contributions, and social security tax. Statements shall be accompani,ed and supported by a receipted invoice for all materials used and transportation charges. However, if materials used on the force account work are not specifically purchased for such work but are taken from the Contractor's stock, then in lieu of the invoices the, Contractor shall furnish an affidavit certifying that such materials were taken from his/her stock, that the quantity claimed was actually used, and that the price and transportation claimed represent the actual cost to the Contractor. 90-06 PARTIAL PAYMENTS Partial payments will be made at least once each month as the work progresses. Said payments will be based upon estimates prepared by the Engineer of the value of the: work performed and materials complete in place in accordance with the contract, plans, and specifications. Such partial payments may also include the delivered actual cost of those materials stockpiled and stored in accordance 'with the subsection titled.

The balance (90 percent) of the amount payable, less all previous payments, shall be certified for payment. Should the Contractor exercise his/her option, as provided in the subsection titled PAYMENT OF WITHHELD FUNDS of this section, no such 10 percent retainage shall be deducted. When not less than 95 percent of the work has been completed the Engineer may, at his/her discretion and with the consent of the surety, prepare an estimate from which will be retained an amount not less than twice the contract value or estimated cost, whichever is greater, of the work remaining to be done. The remainder, less all previous payments and deductions, will then be certified for payment to the Contractor. It is understood and agreed that the Contractor shall not be entitled to demand or receive partial payment based on quantities of work in excess of those provided in the proposal or covered by approved change orders or supplemental agreements, except when such excess quantities have been determined by the Engineer to be a part of the final quantity for the item of work in question. No partial payment shall bind the owner to the acceptance of any materials or work in place as to quality or quantity. All partial payments are subject to correction at the time of final payment as provided in the subsection titled ACCEPTANCE AND FINAL PAYMENT of this section. 90-07 PAYMENT FOR MATERIALS ON HAND Partial payments may be made to the extent of the delivered cost of materials to be incorporated in the work, provided that such materials meet the requirements of the contract, plans, and specifications and are delivered to acceptable sites on the airport property or at other sites in the vicinity that are acceptable to the owner.

Quality Control Program. The Contractor shall describe the Quality Control Program in a written document which shall be reviewed by the Engineer prior to the start of any production, construction, or off-site fabrication. The written Quality Control Program shall be submitted to the Engineer for review at least 5 calendar days before the start of work. The Quality Control Program shall be organized to address, as a minimum, the following items: a. Quality control organization; b. Project progress schedule; c. Submittals schedule; d. Inspection requirements; e. Quality control testing plan; f. Documentation of quality control activities; and g. Requirements for corrective action when quality control and/or acceptance criteria are not met. The Contractor is encouraged to add any additional elements to the Quality Control Program that he/she deems necessary to adequately control all production and/or construction processes required by this contract. 100-03 QUALITY CONTROL ORGANIZATION.. The Contractor's Quality Control Program shall be implemented by the establishment of a separate quality control organization. An organizational chart shall be developed to show all quality control personnel and how these personnel integrate with other management/production and construction functions and personnel. The organizational chart shall identify all quality control staff by name and function, and shall indicate the total staff required to implement all elements of the Quality Control Program, including inspection and testing for each item of work. If necessary, different technicians can be utilized for specific inspection and testing functions for different items of work. If an outside organization or independent testing laboratory is used for implementation of all or part of the Quality Control Program, the personnel assigned shall be subject to the qualification requirements of paragraph 100-03a and 100-03b. The organizational chart shall indicate which personnel are Contractor employees and which are provided by an outside organization.

When the specifications provide for acceptance of material based on the method of estimating percentage of material within specification limits (PWL), the PWL will' be determined in accordance with this section. All test results for a lot will be analyzed statistically to determine the total estimated percent of the lot that is within specification limits. The PWL is computed using the sample average (X) and sample standard deviation (Sn) of the specified number (n) of sublots for the lot and the specification tolerance limits, L for lower and U for upper, for the particular acceptance parameter. From these values, the respective Quality index(s), QL for Lower Quality Index and/or Qu for Upper Quality Index, is computed and the PWL for the lot for the specified n is determined from Table 1. Ii I There is some degree of uncertainty (risk) in the measurement for acceptance because only a small fraction of production material (the population) is sampled and tested. This uncertainty exists because all portions of the production material have the same probability to be randomly sampled. The Contractor's risk is the probability that material produced at the acceptable quality level is rejected or subjected to a pay adjustment. The Owner's risk is the probability that material produced at the rejectable quality level is accepted. I~ I J 11 I; ; II --1 I; -~ I I - IT IS THE INTENT OF THIS SECTION TO INFORM THE CONTRACTOR'THAT, IN ORDER TO CONSISTENTLY OFFSET THE CONTRACTOR'S RISK FOR MATERIAL EVALUATED, PRODUCTION QUALITY (USING POPULATION AVERAGE AND POPULATION STANDARD . DEVIATION) MUST BE MAINTAINED AT THE ACCEPTABLE QUALITY SPECIFIED OR HIGHER. IN ALL CASES, IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CONTRACTOR TO PRODUCE AT QUALITY LEVELS THAT WILL MEET THE SPECIFIED ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA WHEN SAMPLED AND TESTED AT THE FREQUENCIES SPECIFIED. 110-02 METHOD FOR COMPUTING PWL. The computational sequence for computing PWL is as follows: a. Di~ide the lot iinto n sublots in accordance with the acceptance requirements of the specification. , b. Locate the rapdom s~mpling position within.the sublot in accordance with the requirements of the specification. c. Make a measurement at each location, or take a test portion and make the measurement on the test portion in accordance with the testing requirements of the specification. ' d. Find the sample average (X) for all sublot values within the lot by using the following formula:' - X = (X1 + X2 + X3 + . . .xn) / n 11 0-1 X1, X2 = Individual sublot values n = Number of sublots I I .j I . J ;:;;,1 w il n] I I I I I j I I j I i I I I I J I \ I J Where: X = Sample average of all sublot values within a lot e. Find the sample standard deviation (Sn) by use of the following formula: Sn = [(d12 + dl + d32 + . . .dn2)/(n-1 )]1/2 Where: Sn = Sample standard deviation of the number of sublot values in the set d1, d2, ...= Deviations of the individual sublot values X1, X2, ... from the average value X that is: d1 = (X1 - X), d2 = (X2 - X) ... dn = (Xn - X) n = Number of sublots For single sided specification limits (Le., L only), compute the Lower Quality Index QL by use of the following formula: QL = (X - L) / Sn Where: L = specification lower tolerance limit. Estimate the percentage of material within limits (PWL) by entering Table 1 with QL, using the column appropriate to the total number (n) of measurements. If the value of , QL falls between values shown on the table, use the next higher value of PWL. g. For double sided specification limits (Le. Land U), compute the Quality Indexes QL and Qu by use of the following formulas: QL = (X - L) / Sn and Qu = (U - X) / Sn Where: Land U = specification lower and upper tolerance limits Estimate the percentage of material between the lower (L) and upper (U) tolerance limits (PWL) by entering Table 1 separately with QL and Qu, using the column appropriate to the total number (n) of measurements, and determining the percent of material above PL and percent of material below Pu for each tolerance limit. If the values of QL fall between values shown on the table, use the next higher value of PL or Pu.

When~ver 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. ) 3. 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. Contractors must be able to demonstrate their participation in and compliance with the provisions of any such Hometown Plan. Each contractor or subcontractor participating in an approved plan is individually required to comply with its obligations under the EEO clauses 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 contractors or subcontractors toward a goal in an approved plan does not excuse any cove'red contractor's or subcontractor's failure to take good faith efforts'to achieve the plan goals and timetables. 4. The Contractor sh~1I implement the specific affirmative action standards provided , in paragraphs 7.a through p. of these specifications. The goals set forth in the, solicitation from which this contract resulted are expressed as percentages of the GP-120-13 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. Covered construction contracts performing construction work in a geographical area where they do not have a Federal or federally assisted construction contract shall apply the minority and female goals established for the geographical area where the work is being performed. Goals are published periodically in the Federal Register in notice form, and such notices may be obtained from any Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs office or from Federal procurement contracting officers. The contractor is expected to make substantially uniform progress in meeting its goals in each craft during the period specified. I I ....-1 I -' I ltii II ~:l a.

The contractor shall specifically ensure that all foremen, superintendents, and other onsite supervisory personnel are aware of and carry out the contractor's obligation to maintain such a working environment, with specific attention to minority or female individuals working at such sites or in such facilities. I .i - 1 I j I I I ~ ~ - I I ! I I ;1 LtlJ 5. Neither the provisions of any collective bargaining agreement nor the failure by a union with whom the contractor has a collective bargaining agreement to refer either minorities or women shall excuse the contractor's obligations under these specifications, Executive Order 11246, as amended, or the regulations promulgated pursuant thereto. 6. In order for the nonworking 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 EEO. The evaluation of the contractor's compliance with these specifications shall be based upon its effort to achieve maximum results from its actions.

If such individual was sent to the union hiring hall for referral and was not referred back to the' contractor by the u.nion or, if referred, not employed by the contractor, this shall be documented in the file' with the reason therefore along with whatever additional actions the contractor may have taken. I d. Provide immediate written notification to the Director when the union or unions with which the. contractor has a collective bargaining agreement has not' referred to the contractor a minority person or woman sent by the contractor, or when the contractor has other information that the union referral process has impeded the contractor's efforts to meet its obligations. e. Develop on-the-job training opportunities and/or participate in training programs for, the area which expressly include minorities and women, including upgradi'ng programs and apprenticeship and trainee programs relevant to the contractor's employment needs, especially those programs fU/ilded 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. g.

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 workforce. k. Validate all tests and other selection requirements where there is an obligation to do so under 41 CFR Part 60-3. 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. m. Ensure that seniority practices, job classifications, work assignments, and other personnel practices do not have a discriminatory effect by continually monitoring all personnel and employment related activities to ensure that the EEO policy and the contractor's obligations under these specifications are being carried out. n. Ensure that all facilities and company activities are nonsegregated except that separate or single-user toilet and necessary changing facilities shall be provided to assure privacy between the sexes. o.

Conduct a review, at least annually, of all supervisor's adherence to and performance under the contractor's EEO policies and affirmative action obligations. 8. Contractors are encouraged to participate in voluntary associations which assist in fulfilling one or more of their affirmative action obligations (l.a through p.). The efforts of a contractor association, joint contractor union, contractor community, or other similar groups of which the contraCtor is a member and participant, may be asserted as fulfilling anyone or more of its obligations under l.a through p. of these ~pecifications 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 I . _I I I I ".1 I I I J - I J I ! I . I I I i I , I I I I I minority and female workforce participation, make:; a good faith effort to meet its individual goals arid timetables, and can provide access to documentation which demonstrates the effectiveness of actions taken on behalf of the contractor. The obligation to comply, however, is the contractor's; and failure of such a group to fulfill an obligation shall not be a defense for the contractor's noncompliance. 9. A single goal for minorities and a separate single goal for women have been establi~hed. The contractor, however, is required to provide EEO 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,ifa specific minority group of wQmen is under-utilized). 10. The contractor shall not use the goals and timetables or affirmative action standards to dis~.riminate against any persons 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, as amended. 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 OFCCP. Any contractor who fails to carry out such sanctions and penalties shall be in violation of these specifications and Executive OrQer 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 standa'rds 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 I 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 I , .
