During the performance of the Contract, Contractor, for itself, its assignees, and its successors in interest (hereinafter referred to as the “Contractor”) agrees as follows:

a. Compliance with Regulations: Contractor shall comply with the regulations relative to nondiscrimination in federally-assisted programs of the Department of Transportation Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 21, as they may be amended from time to time, (hereinafter referred to as the Regulations), which are herein incorporated by reference and made a part of the Contract.

b. Nondiscrimination: Contractor, with regard to the Work performed by it during the Contract, shall not discriminate on the grounds of race, color, sex, or national origin in the selection and retention of Subcontractors, including procurements of materials and leases of equipment. Contractor shall not participate either directly or indirectly in the discrimination prohibited by section 21.5 of the Regulations, including employment practices when the Contract covers a program set forth in Appendix B of the Regulations.

c. Solicitations for Subcontracts, Including Procurements of Materials and Equipment: In all solicitations either by competitive bidding or negotiation made by Contractor for work to be performed under a subcontract, including procurements of materials or leases of equipment, each potential Subcontractor or supplier shall be notified by Contractor of Contractor’s obligations under the Contract and the Regulations relative to nondiscrimination on the grounds of race, color, sex, or national origin.

d. Information and Reports: Contractor shall provide all information and reports required by the Regulations, or directives issued pursuant thereto, and shall permit access to its books, records, accounts, other sources of information, and its facilities as may be determined by ODOT, FHWA or the Federal Transit Administration (“FTA”) as appropriate, to be pertinent to ascertain compliance with such Regulations, orders and instructions.

SGC-6 Make the following revisions to Section B.5 COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENT LAWS AND REGULATIONS:

· Add the following to the end of Section B.5.1:

As required by ORS 279C.520, the Contractor must comply with the prohibitions set forth in ORS 652.220, and shall not discriminate against any of Contractor’s employees in the payment of wages or other compensation for work of comparable character, the performance of which requires comparable skills, or pay any employee at a rate less than another for comparable work, based on an employee’s membership in a “protected class.” For purposes of this provision, a “protected class” means a group of persons distinguished by race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, marital status, veteran status, disability or age. Contractor’s failure to comply with these requirements is a breach of the Contract that entitles the Owner to terminate the Contract for cause.

Compliance with ORS 279C.520 includes, but is not limited to, not prohibiting employees from discussing wages, salaries, benefits and other compensation, and compliance with the wage related prohibitions in ORS 652.220. Compliance with ORS 279C.520 and ORS 652.220 is a material element of the Contract, and Contractor’s failure to comply is a breach of the Contract that entitles the contracting agency to terminate the Contract for cause.

All rights and remedies available to Owner under applicable federal, state and local laws are also incorporated by reference herein and are cumulative with all rights and remedies under the Contract.

· Section B.5.2(a) is deleted and replaced with the following:

(a) Pursuant to ORS 279A.110, Contractor shall not discriminate against a disadvantaged business enterprise, a minority-owned business, a woman-owned business, a veteran-owned business or an emerging small business, in the awarding of subcontracts.

· The following Section B.5.2(c) is added:

(c) Respecting certification as a disadvantaged business enterprise, minority-owned business, woman-owned business, business that a veteran-owned business or an emerging small business under ORS 200.055, as and when applicable, Contactor shall maintain the certification, and require in its subcontracts that Subcontractors maintain the certification required by ORS 279A.107. Owner may require Contractor to terminate a subcontract with a Subcontractor that fails to maintain its certification under ORS 200.055 throughout the term of the subcontract and any extensions.

· The following Section B.5.2(d) is added:

(d) It is a material term of the Contract that the Contractor certifies by entering into the Contract that Contractor has a written policy and practice that meets the requirements described in ORS 279A.112 for preventing sexual harassment, sexual assault and discrimination against employees who are members of a protected class and that the Contractor shall maintain the policy and practice in force during the entire term of the Contract

· Section B.5.6 is deleted and replaced with the following revised Section B.5.6 B.5.6 Contractor shall comply with all Oregon tax laws, consistent with the Contractor’s certification of compliance with tax laws and the Contractor’s warranty that the Contractor has complied with the Oregon tax laws. Any violation of the Contractor’s certification of compliance or warranty will constitute a material breach of the Contract.

· The following Section B.5.7 is added:

B.5.7 ODOT has determined that no steel, iron, coatings for steel and iron, or Manufactured Products, as defined in ORS 279C.303, will be used in the performance of Work for the resulting Contract and the domestic preference requirements of ORS 279C.303 will not apply. In the event steel, iron, coatings for steel and iron, or Manufactured Products, as defined in ORS 279C.303, are needed to perform any of the requested Work, Contractor shall comply with the requirements of ORS 279C.303.

· The following Section B.5.8 is added:

B.5.8 Failure to comply with any or all of the requirements of B.5.1 through B.5.7 shall be a material breach of Contract entitling the Owner to pursue and recover any and all of its available remedies at law or in equity that arise from the breach, including, but not limited to, recovery of damages, the termination of the Contract, and the exercise of the right of setoff, garnishment if applicable and the withholding of amounts otherwise due and owing to the Contractor without penalty. Damages or costs resulting from such non-compliance shall be the responsibility of the Contractor.

SGC-7 The provisions in Section B.15 GOVERNING LAW are deleted and replaced with the following provisions:

This ITB and the resulting Contract shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of State of Oregon without regard to principles of conflicts of law.

SGC-8 Add the following section after Section D.3 CLAIMS REVIEW PROCESS:

D.4 FALSE CLAIMS (OREGON FALSE CLAIMS ACT)

D.4.1 Contractor understands and acknowledges it is subject to the Oregon False Claims Act (ORS 180.750 to 180.785) and to any liabilities or penalties associated with the making of a false claim under that Act. By its execution of the Contract, Contractor certifies the truthfulness, completeness, and accuracy of any statement or claim it has made, it makes, it may make, or cause to be made that pertains to the Contract or the Project for which the services are being performed, including but not limited to Contractor’s statement of proposal and any invoices, reports, or other deliverables.

(h) assessment of liquidated damages, when withholding is made for offset purposes; or

(i) The Contractor having liquidated and delinquent debt owed to the State of Oregon or any department or agency of the State of Oregon.

SGC-10 Delete Section E.5 RETAINAGE in its entirety and replace with the following:

E.5 RETAINAGE

E.5.1 Retainage, if withheld, shall be withheld and released in accordance with ORS 279C.550 to 279C.580.

E.5.1.1 Owner reserves the right in its sole discretion to withhold or to not withhold retainage from progress payments or to begin withholding retainage at any time. If Owner withholds retainage from progress payments the amount to be retained will not exceed 5% of the payment. Upon written application by the Contractor, including written approval of Contractor's surety, Owner may reduce the amount of the retainage and may eliminate retainage on any remaining progress payments after 50% of the Work under the Contract is completed if, in the Owner's opinion, such Work is progressing satisfactorily. Upon receipt of written application by the Contractor, Owner shall respond in Writing within a reasonable time. When the Work is 97.5% completed, the Owner may, at its discretion and without application by the Contractor, reduce the retained amount to 100% of the value of the Work remaining to be done.

E.5.1.2 If retainage is withheld and the Contractor elects the Owner shall deposit the retainage, as the retainage accumulates, in an interest-bearing account, established through the State Treasurer, as provided under ORS 279C.560(5). The Owner may recover from Contractor any additional costs incurred through such election by reducing Contractor's final payment.

E.5.1.3 In accordance with the provisions of ORS 279C.560 and any applicable administrative rules, the Contractor may submit and Owner shall accept the following alternative forms of retainage, unless the Owner rejects in Writing the bonds, securities, or other instruments that the Contractor submits under paragraph (a) or a surety bond that the Contractor submits under paragraph (b), below, for good case based on unique project circumstances:

(a) bonds, securities or other instruments of equal value deposited with Owner or in a bank or other financial institution to be held in lieu of the cash retainage for the benefit of Owner. Interest or earnings on the bonds, securities or other instruments shall accrue to the Contractor. To be permissible the bonds, securities and other instruments must be of a character approved by the Director of the Oregon Department of Administrative Services, including but not limited to:

(i) Bills, certificates, notes or bonds of the United States.

(ii) Other obligations of the United States or agencies of the United States.

(iii) Obligations of a corporation wholly owned by the federal government.

(iv) Indebtedness of the Federal National Mortgage Association.

(v) General obligation bonds of the State of Oregon or a political subdivision of the State of Oregon.

(vi) Irrevocable letters of credit issued by an insured institution, as defined in ORS 706.008; or

(b) a surety bond for the benefit of Owner, for all or a portion of funds retained, or to be retained, by Owner in substantially the form specified in ORS 701.435(4) (See ORS 279C.560(7); House Bill 4006, 82nd Oregon Legislative Assembly (2024)). A surety bond submitted under this paragraph must be executed by a surety bonding company that is authorized to transact surety business in this state and may not be a surety obligation of an individual. Such bond and any proceeds therefrom shall be made subject to all claims and liens in the manner and priority as set forth for retainage under ORS 279C.550 to ORS 279C.570 and ORS 279C.600 to ORS 279C.625. The Owner shall reduce the moneys the Owner holds as retainage in an amount equal to the value of the surety bond and pay the amount of the reduction to the Contractor in accordance with ORS 279C.570 (House Bill 4006, 82nd Oregon Legislative Assembly (2024)).

E.5.1.3.1 Where the Owner has accepted the Contractor's election of option E.5.1.3 (a) or (b) above, Owner may recover from Contractor the additional costs incurred through such election by reducing Contractor's final payment.

E.5.1.3.2 Where the Owner has agreed to Contractor's request to deposit a surety bond under option E.5.1.3 (b), Contractor shall accept surety bonds from Subcontractors and suppliers on the project from which Contractor has withheld retainage. At any time before final payment, a Subcontractor may submit a surety bond to Contractor and request that the Contractor submit, in a manner provided under ORS 279C.560(7) (House Bill 4006, 82nd Oregon Legislative Assembly (2024)), a surety bond to Owner for the portion of the Contractor’s retainage that pertains to the Subcontractor. When a Contractor at a Subcontractor’s request obtains and submits to the Owner a surety bond under this subsection, the Contractor may withhold from payments to the Subcontractor an amount equivalent to the portion of the Contractor’s surety bond premium for which the Subcontractor is responsible. Contractor shall comply with all applicable requirements under ORS 279C.560(8), including subsection (b), regarding timely submission to Owner a surety bond after Subcontractor’s request, and subsection (e), regarding release of amounts held as retainage to Subcontractor after receipt of a surety bond (House Bill 4006, 82nd Oregon Legislative Assembly (2024)).

E.5.1.4 In accordance with the provisions of ORS 279C.560, if the Owner accepts bonds, securities or other instruments deposited as provided in paragraph (a) of subsection E.5.1.3, the Owner shall reduce the moneys held as retainage in an amount equal to the value of the bonds, securities and other instruments and pay the amount of the reduction to the Contractor in accordance with ORS 279C.570.
