The prospective contractor shall submit an explanation of why it cannot provide the certification set out below.

However, failure of the prospective contractor to furnish a certification or an explanation shall disqualify such person from participation in this transaction.

If it is later determined that the contractor knowingly rendered an erroneous certification in addition to other remedies available to the Federal Government the department may terminate this transaction for cause or default.

4. The prospective contractor shall provide immediate written notice to the department to whom this proposal is submitted if at any time the prospective contractor learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances.

5.

10. Except for transactions authorized under paragraph 6 of these instructions, if a contractor in a covered transaction knowingly enters into a lower tier covered transaction with a person who is suspended, debarred, ineligible or voluntarily excluded from participation in this transaction, in addition to other remedies available to the Federal Government, the department may terminate this transaction for cause or default.

Fish Spawning There shall be no instream disturbance of the unnamed tributary to Lake Butte des Morts at Station 424, Daggets Creek At Station 585+40, Arrowhead River at Station 871+75, and various tributaries to the Lake Winnebago pool lakes as a result of construction activity under or for this contract, from March 1, 2027 to June 15, 2027 both dates inclusive, in order to avoid adverse impacts upon the spawning of northern pike and white sucker and a variety of forage species.

Any change to this limitation will require submitting a written request by the contractor to the engineer, subsequent review and concurrence by the Department of Natural Resources in the request, and final approval by the engineer. The approval will include all conditions to the request as mutually agreed upon by WisDOT and DNR.

Protection of Endangered Bats Federally protected bats have the potential to inhabit the project limits because they roost in trees, bridges, culverts, and other structures. Roosts may not have been observed on this project, but conditions to support the species exist. The species and all active roosts are protected by the federal Endangered Species Act. If an individual bat or active roost is encountered during construction operations, stop work, and notify the engineer and the WisDOT Regional Environmental Coordinator

(REC).

Ensure all operators, employees, and subcontractors working in areas of known or presumed bat habitat are aware of environmental commitments and avoidance and minimization measures (AMMs) to protect both bats and their habitat.

Direct temporary lighting, if used, away from wooded areas during the bat active season April 15 to October 31, both dates inclusive.

Tree Clearing:

Contractor means and methods to remove trees will not be allowed. If it is determined that trees with a 3-inch or greater diameter at breast height (dbh) need to be removed beyond contractor means and methods, notify the engineer to coordinate with the WisDOT REC to determine if consultation with United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) is required. The contractor must be aware that the WisDOT REC and/or USFWS may not permit modifications.

4. Traffic.

General.

Complete contract work along CTH T/Ryf Road and STH 116/CTH GG maintaining a minimum of a single through lane of traffic in each direction using single lane closures and shoulder closures.

Complete concrete pavement replacement and approach slab replacement along CTH II using full closures of CTH II as shown in the plans between the hours of 6 PM and 6 AM.

For all other over/under passing roadways, close up to one lane of traffic as necessary with a standard flagging operation. During non-working hours, open these roadways to two lanes of traffic, one in each direction. Shoulder closures along over/under passing roadway are permitted.

Limit individual continuous lane closures to a maximum length of 5 miles. Separate individual lane closures in the same direction of travel by a minimum of 2 miles.

6200-18-70 6 of 28

Close interchange ramps as shown in the plans in conjunction with adjacent outside lane closures at those locations.

Do not close consecutive USH 45 entrance or exit ramps. Complete ramp closures so as not to conflict with in place detour routes shown in the plans.

Shoulder closures will be allowed along USH 45 to facilitate off roadway work as allowed by the engineer.

An inside and outside shoulder closure in the same area is not permitted.

Wisconsin Lane Closure System Advance Notification Provide the following advance notification to the engineer for incorporation into the Wisconsin Lane Closure System (LCS).

TABLE 108-1 CLOSURE TYPE AND REQUIRED MINIMUM ADVANCE NOTIFICATION

Closure type with height, weight, or width restrictions (available width, all lanes in one direction < 16 feet) MINIMUM NOTIFICATION

Lane and shoulder closures 7 calendar days

Full roadway closures 7 calendar days

Ramp closures 7 calendar days

Detours 7 calendar days

Closure type without height, weight, or width restrictions (available width, all lanes in one direction > 16 feet) MINIMUM NOTIFICATION

Shoulder Closures 3 calendar days

Lane closures 3 business days

Ramp closures 3 business days

Modifying all closure types 3 business days

Discuss LCS completion dates and provide changes in the schedule to the engineer at weekly project meetings in order to manage closures nearing their completion date.

Temporary Regulatory Speed Limit Reduction During engineer-approved regulatory speed limit reductions, install temporary speed limit signs on the inside and outside shoulders of divided roadways to enhance visibility. On two-lane, two-way roadways, install temporary speed limit signs on shoulders. When construction activities impede the location of a post-mounted regulatory speed limit sign, relocate the sign for maximum visibility to motorists. If work lasts less than seven days, mount the regulatory speed limit sign on a portable sign support.

Post temporary regulatory speed limit signs in work zone only during continuous worker activity. During periods of no work activity or when the traffic controls are removed from the roadway, cover or remove the temporary speed limit signs.

Temporary Work Zone Clear Zone Working Restrictions.

The temporary work zone clear zone for this project is 18-feet from the edge of traveled way. If auxiliary lanes are present, clear zone is from the outside edge of the auxiliary lane.

Do not perform work in the median at any time unless protected by concrete barrier temporary precast in both directions except as allowed during lane closure periods.

Do not perform work within the clear zone unless protected by concrete barrier temporary precast or a lane closure during the allowed closure periods.

Park equipment and store materials, including stockpiles, a minimum of 30-feet from the edge of the traveled way. Equipment may be parked and material stored in the median if it meets the minimum distance requirement from both traveled ways or if it is protected by concrete barrier temporary precast.

If unsure whether an individual work operation will meet the safety requirements for working within the clear zone, review the proposed work operation with the engineer before proceeding with the work.

Replace standard specification 305.3.3.3(2) with the following:

If the roadway remains open to through traffic during construction and a 2-inch or more drop-off occurs within the clear zone, eliminate the drop-off prior to completing that day’s work. Unless the special

6200-18-70 7 of 28 provisions specify otherwise, provide aggregate shoulder material compacted to a temporary 3:1 or flatter cross slope from the surface of the pavement edge.

Portable Changeable Message Signs – Message Prior Approval.

After coordinating with department construction field staff, notify the Northeast Region Traffic Section at 920-366-8033 (secondary contact number is 920-360-3107) 3 business days before deploying or changing a message on a PCMS to obtain approval of the proposed message. The Northeast Region Traffic Unit will review the proposed message and either approve the message or make necessary changes.

PCMS boards must be deployed 7 days before the closure of lanes and interchange ramps.

ner-643-035 (20171213)

Freight Width Restriction USH 45 is a designated WisDOT Freight Network Route. Maintain a width restriction no less than 16 feet at all times in each direction. Movement of OSOW freight is scheduled to occur during this construction project that will require a minimum of 16 feet of horizontal clearance.

Enter in the correct minimum width restriction in Wisconsin Lane Closure System.
