LOCAL AGENCY CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION CHECKLIST
The following checklist has been developed to ensure that all required aspects of a
project approved for Federal funding have been addressed and a responsible party
assigned for each task,
After a project has been approved for Federal funding in the Statewide Transportation
Improvement Program, the Colorado Department of Transportation (COOT) Project
Manager, Local Agency project manager, and COOT Resident Engineer prepare the
checklist. It becomes a part of the contractual agreement between the Local Agency
and COOT. The COOT Agreements Unit will not process a Local Agency agreement
without this completed checklist. It will be reviewed at the Final Office Review meeting
to ensure that all parties remain in agreement as to who is responsible for performing
individual tasks.

Exhibit H
THE LOCAL AGENCY SHALL USE THESE PROCEDURES TO IMPLEMENT FEDERAL-AID
PROJECT AGREEMENTS WITH PROFESSIONAL CONSULTANT SERVICES
Title 23 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 172 applies to a federally funded local agency project agreement
administered by CDOT that involves professional consultant services, 23 CFR 172.1 states "The policies and procedures
involve federally funded contracts for engineering and desigu related services for projects subject to the provisions of23
U.S.C. 112(a) and are issued to ensure that a qualified consultant is obtained through an equitable selection process, that
prescribed work is properly accomplished in a timely manner, and at fair and reasonable cost" and according to 23 CFR
172.5 "Price shall not be used as a factor in the analysis and selection phase," Therefore, local agencies must comply with
these CFR requirements when obtaining professional consultant services under a federally funded cousultant contract
administered by CDOT.
CDOT has fonnulated its procedures in Procedural Directive (P.D.) 400.1 and the related operations guidebook titled
"Obtaining Professional Consultant Services". This directive and guidebook incorporate requirements from both Federal
and State regulations, i,e" 23 CFR 172 and Colorado Revised Statute (C.R,S.) 24-30-1401 et seq, Copies of the directive
and the guidebook may be obtained upon request from CDOT's Agreements and Consultant Management Unit. [Local
agencies should have their own written procedures on file for each method of procurement that addresses the items in 23
CFR 172].
Because the procedures and laws described in the Procedural Directive and the guidebook are quite lengthy, the
subsequent steps serve as a short-hand guide to CDOT procedures that a local agency must follow in obtaining
professional consultant services, This guidance follows the fonnat of 23 CFR 172. The steps are:
1. The contracting local agency shall document the need for obtaining professional services.
2. Prior to solicitation for consultant services, the contracting local agency shall develop a detailed scope of work
and a list of evaluation factors and their relative importance, The evaluation factors are those identified in C.R.S.
24-30.1403. Also, a detailed cost estimate should be prepared for use during negotiations.
3, The contracting agency must advertise for contracts in confonnity with the requirements of eR.S, 24-30-1405,
The public notice period, when such notice is required, is a minimum of15 days prior to the selection of the three
most qualified firms and the advertising should be done in one or more daily newspapers of general circulation,
4. The request for consultant services should include the scope of work, the evaluation factors and their relative
importance, the method of payment, and the goal often percent (10%) for Disadvantaged Business Enterprise
(DBE) participation as a minimum for the project.
5. The analysis and selection of the consultants should be done in accordance with C,R.S. 24-30-1403. This section
of the regulation identifies the criteria to be used in the evaluation ofCDOT pre.qualified prime consultants and
their team. It also shows which criteria are used to short-list and to make a final selection.
The short-list is based on the following evaluation factors:
a. Qualifications,
b. Approach to the project,
c. Ability to furnish professional services,
d, Anticipated desigu concepts, and
e. Alternative methods of approach for furnishing the professional services.
Evaluation factors for final selection are the consultant's:
a. Abilities of their personnel,
b. Past performance,
Exhibit H - Page 1 of 2
Exhibit H
c. Willingness to meet the time and budget requirement,
d. Location,
e. Current and projected work load,
f, Volume of previously awarded contracts, and
g, Involvement of minority consultants.
6. Once a consultant is selected, the local agency enters into negotiations with the consultant to obtain a fair and
reasonable price for the anticipated work. Pre-negotiation audits are prepared for contracts expected to be greater
than $50,000, Federal reimbursements for costs are limited to those costs allowable WIder the cost principles of
48 CFR 31. Fixed fees (profit) are determined with consideration given to size, complexity, duration, and degree
of risk involved in the work. Profit is in the range of six (6) to fifteen (15) percent ofthe total direct and indirect
costs.
7. A qualified local agency employee shall be responsible and in charge ofthe project to ensure that the work being
pursued is complete, accurate, and consistent with the terms, conditions, and specifications of the contract. At the
end of project, the local agency prepares a performance evaluation (a CDOT form is available) on the consultant.
8. Each of the steps listed above is to be documented in accordance with the provisions of 49 CFR 18.42, which
provide for records to be kept at least three (3) years from the date that the local agency submits its final
expenditure report. Records of projects WIder litigation shall be kept at least three (3) years after the case has
been settled.
The C,R.S. 24-30-1401 through 24-30-1408, 23 CFR Part 172, and P .D, 400.1, provide additional details for complying
with the eight (8) steps just discussed,

ATTACHMENTS
A. Employment Preference for Appalachian Contracts
(included in Appalachian contracts only)
I. GENERAL
1. These contract provisions shall apply to all work performed
on the contract by the contractor's own organization and with the
assistance of workers under the contractor's immediate superin-
tendence and to all work performed on the contract by piecework,
station work, or by subcontract.
2. Except as otherwise provided for in each section, the
contractor shall insert in each subcontract all of the stipulations
contained in these Required Contract Provisions, and further
require their inclusion in any lower tier subcontract or purchase
order that may in turn be made. The Required Contract ProvlM
sions shall not be incorporated by reference in any case. The
prime contractor shall be responsible for compliance by any
subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor with these Required
Contract Provisions.
3. A breach of any of the stipulations contained in these
Required Contract Provisions shall be sufficient grounds for
termination of the contract.
4. A breach of the following clauses of the Required Contract
Provisions may also be grounds for debarment as provided in 29
CFR 5.12:
Section I, paragraph 2;
Section IV, paragraphs 1,2,3,4, and 7;
Section V, paragraphs 1 and 2a through 2g.
5. Disputes arising out of the labor standards provisions of
Section IV (except paragraph 5) and Section V of these Required
Contract Provisions shall not be subject to the general disputes
clause of this contract. Such disputes shall be resolved in accor-
dance with the procedures of the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL)
as set forth in 29 CFR 5, 6, and 7. Disputes within the meaning of
this clause include disputes between the contractor (or any of its
subcontractors) and the contracting agency, the DOL, or the
contractor's employees or their representatives.
6. Selection of Labor: During the performance of this con-
tract, the contractor shall not:
a. discriminate against labor from any other State, posses-
sion, or territory of the United States (except for employment
preference for Appalachian contracts, when applicable, as
specified in Attachment A), or
b employ convict labor for any purpose within the limits of
the project unless it is labor performed by convicts who are on
parole, supervised release, or probation.
II, NONDISCRIMINATION
(Applicable to all Federal-aid construction contracts and to all
related subcontracts of $1 0,000 or more.)
1. Equal Employment Opportunity: Equal employment
opportunity (EEO) requirements not to discriminate and to take
affirmative action to assure equal opportunity as set forth under
laws, executive orders, rules, regulations (28 CFR 35, 29 CFR
1630 and 41 CFR 60) and orders of the Secretary of Labor as
modified by the provisions prescribed herein, and imposed
pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 140 shall constitute the EEO and specific
affirmative action standards for the contractor's project activities
under this contract. The Equal Opportunity Construction Contract
Specifications set forth under 41 CFR 60-4.3 and the provisions of
the American Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 12101 m ~.)
set forth under 28 CFR 35 and 29 CFR 1630 are incorporated by
reference in this contract. In the execution of this contract, the
contractor agrees to comply with the following minimum specific
requirement activities of EEO:
a. The contractor will work with the State highway agency
(SHA) and the Federal Government in carrying out EEO obliga.
tions and in their review of his/her activities under the contract.
b. The contractor will accept as his operating policy the
following statement:
"It is the policy of this Company to assure that applicants are
employed, and that employees are treated during employ-
ment, without regard to their race, religion, sex, color,
national origin, age or disability. Such action shall include:
employment, upgrading, demotion, or transfer; recruitment or
recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of payor
other forms of compensation; and selection for training,
including apprenticeship, preMapprenticeship, and/or
on.the-job training."
2. EEO Officer: The contractor will designate and make
known to the SHA contracting officers an EEO Officer who will
have the responsibility for and must be capable of effectively
administering and promoting an active contractor program ofEEO
and who must be assigned adequate authority and responsibility
to do so.
3. Dissemination of Policy: All members of the contractor's
staff who are authorized to hire, supervise, promote, and
discharge employees, orwho recommend such action, orwho are
substantially involved in such action, will be made fully cognizant
Exhibit I - Page 1 of 9
of, and will implement, the contractor's EEO policy and contractual
responsibilities to provide EEO 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:
a. Periodic meetings of supervisory and personnel office
employees will be conducted before the start of work and then not
less often than once every six months, at which time the contract-
or's EEO policy and its implementation will be reviewed and
explained. The meetings will be conducted by the EEO Officer.
b. All new supervisory or personnel office employees will be
given a thorough indoctrination by the EEO Officer, covering all
major aspects of the contractor's EEO obligations within thirty
days following their reporting for duty with the contractor.
c. All personnel who are engaged in direct recruitment for
the project will be instructed by the EEO Officer in the contractor's
procedures for locating and hiring minority group employees.
d. Notices and posters setting forth the contractor's EEO
policy will be placed in areas readily accessible to employees,
applicants for employment and potential employees.
e. The contractor's EEO policy and the procedures to
implement such policy will be brought to the attention of employ-
ees by means of meetings, employee handbooks, or other
appropriate means.
4. Recruitment: When advertising for employees, the contrac-
tor will include in all advertisements for employees the notation:
nAn Equal Opportunity Employer." All such advertisements will be
placed in publications having a large circulation among minority
groups in the area from which the project work force would
normally be derived.
a. The contractor will, unless precluded by a valid bargain-
ing agreement, conduct systematic and direct recruibnent through
public and private employee referral sources likely to yield
qualified minority group applicants. To meet this requirement, the
contractor will 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.
b. In the event the contractor has a valid bargaining agree-
ment 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 EEO contract
provisions. (The DOL 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.)
c. The contractor will encourage his present employees to
refer minority group applicants for employment. Information and
procedures with regard to referring minority group applicants will
be discussed with employees.
'5. 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, national origin,
age or disability. The following procedures shall be followed:
a. The contractor will conduct periodic inspections of project
sites to insure 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
Exhibit I
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
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.
6. Training and Promotion:
a. The contractor will assist in locating, qualifying, and
increasing the skills of minority group and women employees, and
applicants for employment.
b. Consistent with the contractor's work force requirements
and as permissible under Federal and State regulations, the
contractor shall make full use of training programs, Le.,
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. In the event a special
provision fortraining is provided under this contract, this subpara-
graph will be superseded as indicated in the special provision.
c. The contractor will advise employees and applicants for
employment of available training programs and entrance
requirements for each.
d. 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.
7. 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 use 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.
b. The contractor will use best efforts to incorporate an EEO
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, national origin, age or disability.
c. 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 SHA and shall
set forth what efforts have been made to obtain such information.
d. In the event the union is unable to provide the contractor
Exhibit I - Page 2 of 9
REQUIRED BY 23 CFR 633.102
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,
national origin, age or disability; making full efforts to obtain
qualified and/or qualifiable minority group persons and women.
(The DOL 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 SHA.
8. Selection of Subcontractors, Procurement of Materials
and leasing of Equipment: The contractor shall not discriminate
on the grounds of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age or
disability in the selection and retention of subcontractors, including
procurement of materials and leases of equipment.
a. The contractor shall notify all potential subcontractors and
suppliers of his/her EEO obligations under this contract.
b. Disadvantaged business enterprises (DBE), as defined in
49 CFR 23, shall have equal opportunity to compete for and
perform subcontracts which the contractor enters into pursuant to
this contract. The contractor will use his best efforts to solicit bids
from and to utilize DBE subcontractors or subcontractors with
meaningful minority group and female representation among their
employees. Contractors shall obtain lists of DBE construction
firms from SHA personnel.
c. The contractor will use his best efforts to ensure subcon-
tractor compliance with their EEO obligations.
9. Records and Reports: The contractor shall keep such
records as necessary to document compliance with the EEO
requirements. Such records shall be retained for a period of three
years following completion of the contract work and shall be
available at reasonable times and places for inspection byautho-
rized representatives of the SHA and the FHWA.
a. The records kept by the contractor shall document the
following:
(1) The number of minority and non-minority group

with unions, when applicable, to increase employmentopporiuni-
ties for minorities and women;
(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 DBE subcontractors or subcontractors with
meaningful minority and female representation among their
employees.
b. The contractors will submit an annual report to the SHA
each July for the duration of the project, indicating the number 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 Form FHWA-1391. Ifon.the
job training is being required by special provision, the contractor

III, NONSEGREGATED FACILITIES
(Applicable to all Federal-aid construction contracts and to all
Exhibit I
related subcontracts of $10,000 or more.)
a. By submission of this bid, the execution of this contract
or subcontract, or the consummation of this material supply agree-
ment or purchase order, as appropriate, the bidder, Federal-aid
construction contractor, subcontractor, material supplier, or
vendor, as appropriate, certifies that the firm does not maintain or
provide for its employees any segregated facilities at any of its
establishments, and that the finn does not permit its employees to
perform their services at any location, under its control, where
segregated facilities are maintained. The firm agrees that a
breach of this certification is a violation of the EEO provisions of
this contract. The firm further certifies that no employee will be
denied access to adequate facilities on the basis of sex or
disability.
b. As used in this certification, the term "segregated
facilities" means any waiting rooms, work areas, restrooms and
washrooms, restaurants and other eating areas, timedocks, locker
rooms, and other storage or dressing areas, parking lots, drinking
fountains, recreation or entertainment areas, transportation, and
housing facilities provided for employees which are segregated by
explicit directive, or are, in fact, segregated on the basis of race,
color, religion, national origin, age or disability, because of habit,
local custom, or otherwise. The only exception will be for the
disabled when the demands for accessibility override (e.g.
disabled parking).
c. The contractor agrees that it has obtained or will obtain
identical certification from proposed subcontractors or material
suppliers prior to award of subcontracts or consummation of
material supply agreements of $10,000 or more and that it will
retain such certifications in its files.
IV. PAYMENT OF PREDETERMINED MINIMUM WAGE
(Applicable to all Federal-aid construction contracts exceeding
$2,000 and to all related subcontracts, except for projects located
on roadways classified as local roads or rural minor collectors,
which are exempt.)
1. General:
a. All mechanics and laborers employed or working upon
the site of the work will be paid unconditionally and not less often
than once a week and without subsequent deduction or rebate on
any account [except such payroll deductions as are permitted by
regulations (29 CFR 3) issued by the Secretary of Labor under the
Copeland Act (40 U.S.C. 276c)] the full amounts of wages and
bona fide fringe benefits (or cash equivalents thereof) due at time
of payment. The payment shall be computed at wage rates not
less than those contained in the wage detennination of the
Secretary of Labor (hereinafter "the wage detennination") which is
attached hereto and made a part hereof, regardless of any
contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist between the
contractor or its subcontractors and such laborers and mechanics.
The wage determination (including any additional classifications
and wage rates confonned under paragraph 2 of this Section IV
and the DOL poster (WH.1321) or Form FHWA-1495) shall be
posted at all times by the contractor and its subcontractors at the
site of the work in a prominent and accessible place where it can
be easily seen by the workers. For the purpose of this Section,
contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated for bona fide
fringe benefits under Section 1 (b)(2) of the Davis-Bacon Act (40
U.S.C. 276a) on behalf of laborers or mechanics are considered
wages paid to such laborers or mechanics, subject to the provi-
sions of Section IV, paragraph 3b, hereof. Also, for the purpose of
this Section, regular contributions made or costs incurred for more
than a weekly period (but not less often than quarterly) under
plans, funds, or programs, which cover the particular weekly
period, are deemed to be constructively made or incurred during
such weekly period. Such laborers and mechanics shall be paid
the appropriate wage rate and fringe benefits on the wage
Exhibit I - Page 3 of 9
REQUIRED BY 23 CFR 633.102
determination for the classification of work actually performed,
without regard to skill, except as provided in paragraphs 4 and 5
of this Section IV.
b. Laborers or mechanics performing work in more than
one classification may be compensated at the rate specified for
each classification for the time actually worked therein, provided,
that the employer's payroll records accurately set forth the time
spent in each classification in which work is performed.
c. All rulings and interpretations of the Davis-Bacon Act and
related acts contained in 29 CFR 1, 3, and 5 are herein incorpo-
rated by reference in this contract.
2. Classification:
a. The SHA contracting officer shall require that any class of
laborers or mechanics employed under the contract, which is not
listed in the wage determination, shall be classified in
conformance with the wage determination.
b. The contracting officer shall approve an additional
classification, wage rate and fringe benefits only when the
following criteria have been met:
(1) the work to be performed by the additional
classification requested is not performed bya classification in the
wage determination;
(2) the additional classification is utilized in the area by
the construction industry;
(3) the proposed wage rate, including any bona fide
fringe benefits, bears a reasonable relationship to the wage rates
contained in the wage determination; and
(4) with respect to helpers, when such a classification
prevails in the area in which the work is performed.
c. If the contractor or subcontractors, as appropriate, the
laborers and mechanics (if known) to be employed in the addition-
al classification or their representatives, and the contracting officer
agree on the classification and wage rate (including the amount
designated for fringe benefits where appropriate), a report of the
action taken shall be sent by the contracting officer to the DOL,
Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division, Employment Stan-
dards Administration, Washington, D.C. 20210. The Wage and
Hour Administrator, or an authorized representative, will approve,
modify, or disapprove every additional classification action within
30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting officer or will
notify the contracting officer within the 30.day period that
additional time is necessary.
d. In the event the contractor or subcontractors, as appro-
priate, the laborers or mechanics to be employed in the additional
classification or their representatives, and the contracting officer
do not agree on the proposed classification and wage rate
(including the amount designated for fringe benefits, where
appropriate), the contracting officer shall refer the questions,
including the views of all interested parties and the recommenda-
tion of the contracting officer, to the Wage and Hour Administrator
for determination. Said Administrator, or an authorized represen.
tative, will issue a determination within 30 days of receipt and so
advise the contracting officer or will notify the contracting officer
within the 3D-day period that additional time is necessary
e. The wage rate (including fringe benefits where appropri-
ate) determined pursuant to paragraph 2c or 2d of this Section IV
shall be paid to all workers performing work in the additional
classification from the first day on which work is performed in the
classification.
3. Payment of Fringe Benefits:
Exhibit I
a. Whenever the minimum wage rate prescribed in the
contract for a class of laborers or mechanics includes a fringe
benefit which is not expressed as an hourly rate, the contractor or
subcontractors, as appropriate, shall either pay the benefit as
stated in the wage determination or shall pay another bona fide
fringe benefit or an hourly case equivalent thereof.
b. If the contractor or subcontractor, as appropriate, does
not make payments to a trustee or other third person, he/she may
consider as a part of the wages of any laborer or mechanic the
amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing bona fide
fringe benefits under a plan or program, provided, that the Secre-
tary of Labor has found, upon the written request of the contractor,
that the applicable standards of the Davis-Bacon Act have been
met. The Secretary of Labor may require the contractor to set
aside in a separate account assets for the meeting of obligations
under the plan or program.
4. Apprentices and Trainees (Programs of the U.S. DOL)
and Helpers:
a. Apprentices:
(1) Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than
the predetermined rate for the work they performed when they are
employed pursuant to and individually registered in a bona fide
apprenticeship program registered with the DOL, Employment and
Training Administration, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, or
with a State apprenticeship agency recognized by the Bureau, or if
a person is employed in his/her first 90 days of probationary
employment as an apprentice in such an apprenticeship program,
who is not individually registered in the program, but who has
been certified by the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training or a
State apprenticeship agency (where appropriate) to be eligible for
probationary employment as an apprentice.
(2) The allowable ratio of apprentices to joumeyman-
level employees on the job site in any craft classification shall not
be greater than the ratio permitted to the contractor as to the
entire work force under the registered program. Any employee
listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who is not regis.
tered or otherwise employed as stated above, shall be paid not
less than the applicable wage rate listed in the wage determina-
tion for the classification of work actually performed. In addition,
any apprentice performing work on the job site in excess of the
ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less
than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the
work actually performed. Where a contractor or subcontractor is
performing construction on a project in a locality other than that in
which its program is registered, the ratios and wage rates (ex.
pressed in percentages of the journeyman.level hourly rate)
specified in the contractor's or subcontractor's registered program
shall be observed.
(3) Every apprentice must be paid at not less than the
rate specified in the registered program for the apprentice's level
of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeyman-level
hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination.
Apprentices shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the
provisions of the apprenticeship program. If the apprenticeship
program does not specify fringe benefits, apprentices must be
paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determi-
nation for the applicable classification. If the Administrator for the
Wage and Hour Division determines that a different practice
prevails for the applicable apprentice classification, fringes shall
be paid in accordance with that determination.
(4) In the event the Bureau of Apprenticeship and
Training, or a State apprenticeship agency recognized by the
Bureau, withdraws approval of an apprenticeship program. the
contractor or subcontractor will no longer be permitted to utilize
apprentices at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the
Exhibit I - Page 4 of 9
REQUIRED BY 23 CFR 633.102
comparable work performed by regular employees until an accept-
able program is approved.
b. Trainees:
(1) Except as provided in 29 CFR 5.16. trainees will not
be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the
work performed unless they are employed pursuant to and
individually registered in a program which has received prior
approval, evidenced by formal certification by the DOL,
Employment and Training Administration.
(2) The ratio of trainees to joumeyman~level employees
on the job site shall not be greater than permitted under the plan
approved by the Employment and Training Administration. Any
employee listed on the payroll at a trainee rate who is not
registered and participating in a training plan approved by the
Employment and Training Administration shall be paid not less
than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the
classification of work actually performed. In addition, any trainee
performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted
under the registered program shall be paid not less than the
applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work
actually performed.
(3) Every trainee must be paid at not less than the rate
specified in the approved program for his/her level of progress,
expressed as a percentage of the journeyman-level hourly rate
specified in the applicable wage determination. Trainees shall be
paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the
trainee program. If the trainee program does not mention fringe
benefits, trainees shall be paid the full amount of fringe benefits
listed on the wage determination unless the Administrator of the
Wage and Hour Division determines that there is an apprentice-
ship program associated with the correspondingjoumeyman-level
wage rate on the wage determination which provides for less than
full fringe benefits for apprentices, in which case such trainees
shall receive the same fringe benefits as apprentices.
(4) In the event the Employment and Training
Administration withdraws approval of a training program, the
contractor or subcontractor will no longer be permitted to utilize
trainees at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the
work performed until an acceptable program is approved.
c. Helpers:
Helpers will be permitted to work on a project if the
helper classification is specified and defined on the applicable
wage determination or is approved pursuant to the conformance
procedure set forth in Section IV.2. Any worker listed on a payroll
at a helper wage rate, who is not a helper under a approved
definition, shaff be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on
the wage determination for the classification of work actually per~
formed.
5. Apprentices and Trainees (Programs of the U.S. DOT):
Apprentices and trainees working under apprenticeship and
skill training programs which have been certified by the Secretary
of Transportation as promoting EEO in connection with Federal~
aid highway construction programs are not subject to the require-
ments of paragraph 4 of this Section IV. The straight time hourly
wage rates for apprentices and trainees under such programs will
be established by the particular programs. The ratio of apprentic-
es and trainees to journeymen shall not be greater than permitted
by the terms of the particular program.
6. Withholding:
The SHA shall upon its own action or upon written request
of an authorized representative of the DOL withhold, or cause to
be withheld, from the contractor or subcontractor under this
Exhibit I
contract or any other Federal contract with the same prime
contractor, or any other Federally-assisted contract subject to
Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements which is held by the
same prime contractor, as much of the accrued payments or
advances as may be considered necessary to pay laborers and
mechanics, including apprentices, trainees, and helpers, em-
ployed by the contractor or any subcontractor the full amount of
wages required by the contract. In the event of failure to pay any
laborer or mechanic, including any apprentice, trainee, or helper,
employed or working on the site of the work, all or part of the
wages required by the contract, the SHA contracting officer may,
after written notice to the contractor, take such action as may be
necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment,
advance, orguarantee offunds until such violations have ceased.
7. Overtime Requirements:
No contractor or subcontractor contracting for any part of
the contract work which may require or involve the employmentof
laborers, mechanics, watchmen, or guards (including apprentices,
trainees, and helpers described in paragraphs 4 and 5 above)
shall require or permit any laborer, mechanic, watchman, or guard
in any workweek in which he/she is employed on such work, to
work in excess of 40 hours in such workweek unless such laborer,
mechanic, watchman, or guard receives compensation at a rate
not less than one-and-one-half times his/her basic rate of pay for
all hours worked in excess of 40 hours in such workweek.
8. Violation:
Liability for Unpaid Wages; Liquidated Damages: In the
event of any violation of the clause set forth in paragraph 7 above,
the contractor and any subcontractor responsible thereof shall be
liable to the affected employee for his/her unpaid wages. In
addition, such contractor and subcontractor shall be liable to the
United States (in the case of work done under contract for the
District of Columbia or a territory, to such District or to such
territory) for liquidated damages. Such liquidated damages shall
be computed with respect to each individual laborer, mechanic,
watchman, or guard employed in violation of the clause set forth in
paragraph 7, in the sum of $10 for each calendar day on which
such employee was required or permitted to work in excess of the
standard work week of 40 hours without payment of the overtime
wages required by the clause set forth in paragraph 7.
9. Withholding for Unpaid Wages and Liquidated Damages:
The SHA shall upon its own action or upon written request of
any authorized representative of the DOL withhold, or cause to be
withheld, from any monies payable on account of work performed
by the contractor or subcontractor under any such contract or any
other Federal contract with the same prime contractor, or any
other Federally-assisted contract subject to the Contract Work
Hours and Safety Standards Act, which is held by the same prime
contractor, such sums as may be determined to be necessary to
satisfy any liabilities of such contractor or subcontractor for unpaid
wages and liquidated damages as provided in the clause set forth
in paragraph 8 above.

IX, FALSE STATEMENTS CONCERNING HIGHWAY
PROJECTS
In order to assure high quality and durable construction in
conformity with approved plans and specifications and a high
degree of reliability on statements and representations made by
engineers, contractors, suppliers, and workers on Federal-aid
highway projects, it is essential that all persons concerned with the
project perform their functions as carefully, thoroughly, and
honestly as possible. Willful falsification, distortion, or misrepre-
sentation with respect to any facts related to the project is a
violation of Federal law. To prevent any misunderstanding
regarding the seriousness of these and similar acts, the following
Exhibit I
notice shall be posted on each Federal~aid highway project (23
CFR 635) in one or more places where it is readily available to all
persons concerned with the project:
NOTICE TO ALL PERSONNEL ENGAGED ON FEDERAL.AID
HIGHWAY PROJECTS
18 U.S,C, 1020 reads as follows:
'Whoever, being an officer, agent, or employee of the United
States, or of any State or Territory, or whoever, whether a person,
association, firm, or corporation, knowingly makes any false

X. IMPLEMENTATION OF CLEAN AIR ACT AND FEDERAL
WATER POLLUTION CONTROL ACT
(Applicable to all Federal-aid construction contracts and to all
related subcontracts of $100,000 or more.)
By submission of this bid or the execution of this contract, or
subcontract, as appropriate, the bidder, Federal-aid construction
contractor, or subcontractor, as appropriate, will be deemed to
have stipulated as follows:
1. That any facility that is or will be utilized in the performance of
this contract, unless such contract is exempt under the Clean Air
